Joe Biden, speaking to reporters in Delaware, says he is superstitious about talking about his possible electoral victory, but is “hopeful.”
He notes the reports of high turnout and says that helps bolster him.
“The things that are happening bode well for the base that are supporting me, but we’ll see,” he says. “If Florida comes in and I won, it’s over. Done.”

He also dismisses the possibility of Trump declaring victory early affecting the final outcome.
“No matter what he does, no matter what he says, the votes are going to be counted,” he says.
