President Trump on Tuesday visited his campaign headquarters to thank his staff and express confidence about the outcome of the election, but he acknowledged that it would be tough for him to face a potential defeat.
"I’m not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet," Trump told reporters at the campaign's Arlington, Va., office. "Hopefully we’ll be only doing one of those two. Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me it’s not."
The president had a positive outlook on his chances against Democratic nominee Joe Biden, however, repeatedly citing the large crowds his rallies have drawn in recent days and predicting strong turnout in Arizona, Florida and Texas.
Trump predicted it could be clear which candidate has won by the end of the night, "depending on the extent of victory."
"We should be entitled to know who won on Nov. 3," he added, reviving his long-standing grievance about votes being counted beyond Election Day despite it being a standard practice.
