On US election day, Trump says he feels ‘very good’ about chances

US President Donald Trump says he’s feeling good about his chances for victory as election day opens, predicting that he will register big wins in key states such as Florida and Arizona.

“We feel very good,” a hoarse-voiced Trump tells Fox News in a phone interview.

Trump says he expects victory in all the key states that will decide the election, but says he will not “play games” by declaring his win too early.

“We think we are winning Texas very big. We think we are winning Florida very big. We think we are winning Arizona very big,” he says.

“I think we are going to do very well in North Carolina. I think we are going to do well in Pennsylvania. We think we are doing very well everywhere.”

Running behind in most opinion polls, Trump bashes Democratic opponent Joe Biden, “biased” media and the “extreme” left as he repeats his argument for reelection to four more years in the White House.

“Joe Biden is not prime time,” he says.

Trump calls it “terrible” and “dangerous” that millions of votes mailed in might still not be counted on Wednesday.

But he downplays allegations that he plans to prematurely declare victory tonight before enough of the vote is tallied to determine the winner.

“I think we’ll have victory, but only when there’s victory,” he says. “There’s no reason to play games.”
