Republican officials and GOP candidates oozed with confidence on the morning of Election Day that their party is on track to claim majorities in both houses of Congress, ending two years of Democratic control in Washington.
On Tuesday morning, Trump cast his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida.
McDaniel spent the morning campaigning at a diner in Warminster, Pa., with Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, who in the past few weeks has narrowed Democrat John Fetterman’s lead in the race for the Pennsylvania seat. Oz, speaking to Fox News from the diner, boasted of his chances of taking down Fetterman, who is polling slightly ahead of the former TV personality.
While Republicans made their rounds on Fox News and conservative radio at the outset of Election Day, most Democrats have been more subdued. The White House called a “lid” a bit before 11:30 — indicating the White House was not expecting any more public appearances for the president for the remainder of the day. Vice President Kamala Harris’ official schedule also said she was set to do “political radio interviews” throughout the day.
Another closely watched state on Tuesday is Georgia, where there is a competitive Senate and gubernatorial contest. The Senate race, in particular, has been deadlocked, with both parties scrambling to try to hit the 50 percent mark on Tuesday in order to avoid what would likely be an expensive runoff in early December.“I do feel that we can avoid a runoff,” Walker told Hewitt on Tuesday. “I think the people in Georgia, they are speaking and speaking clear, that they want a change.
“We continue to see no specific or credible threat to disrupt election infrastructure today,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity per CISA policy.
