US Republican presidential contender Donald Trump said he would be prepared to concede defeat after today’s vote “if it’s a fair election,” while again raising concerns about the use of electronic voting machines.
“If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it. So far I think it’s been fair,” Trump, repeating a caveat that he has used many times on the campaign trail, tells reporters after voting in Florida.
Trump says he feels “very confident” about winning back the White House.
“I feel very confident,” Trump says at a voting facility in West Palm Beach, adding he believes he “ran a great campaign” against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Opinion polls show the race is a dead heat.
Harris, meanwhile, urges Americans to “get out and vote” on Election Day, particularly in battleground states.
“We’ve got to get it done. Today is voting day, and people need to get out and be active,” she said on Atlanta station WVEE-FM.
