I would argue we could probably do it better, but those are questions for other things, how elections, but it's democracy.
It's messy, it's beautiful, it's the people.
And for me, just my confidence in how things go.
So, look, the team does that, and I think the team that knows me is that's something I've never done.
I feel like, as a candidate, my job is to talk to everybody.
I understand how it works, whatever.
There's data people that will know this.
Steve Cornacki gets paid to do it, so I'll log in on the rest of you.
I'm simply going to go now.
We're going to go do some more radio calls.
I'm going to take a big long run and then get back together, and then our team will start putting those numbers together.
But look, I would end with this and tell people: this will be won by one or two votes for precinct in places like Pennsylvania.
This is a time when there's a privilege to live in this country and a responsibility.
Get out and vote.
Exercise that freedom, exercise that vote, and choose what you know is right, I would ask people.
But the opportunity of hopefulness, unity, forward-looking versus this absolute chaos of Donald Trump, we're going to turn the page here.
So thank you all.
We're grateful.
Thank you.
Thank you, Fred.
Welcome to today's Washington Journal.
We're glad you're with us.
Here are the headlines from the major national papers: The Wall Street Journal says, tight race hits finish line.
The New York Times, worry and hope on last day of voting, The Washington Times, Trump era to mark new beginning or end, and the Washington Post, a historic race down to the wire.
Well, Vice President Harris was making her final pitch yesterday.
Here's what she said about the economy and reproductive rights.
Together, we will build an economy where we bring down the cost of living.
We will ban corporate price gouging on groceries.
We will make housing and child care more affordable.
We will cut taxes for workers, for middle-class families, and small businesses.
We will lower health care costs, including the cost of home care for seniors.
Because on the issue of health care, I absolutely believe access to health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it.
And to anyone out there watching this while we're here who still is trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act and take us back to the days when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions, well...
Philly, you know what I'm about to say?
We are not going back.
We are not going back.
We're not going back.
And we are not going back because ours is a fight for the future.
And ours is a fight for freedom, including the most fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do.
And when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide as president of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law.
And former President Trump also made his final pitch last night talking about foreign policy and immigration and other things.
Here he is.
We will rebuild our cities, including our capital in Washington, D.C., which is in terrible shape with graffitis on the beautiful, incredible marble columns and painting the lions and burning the American flag.
What they did a month ago was terrible.
But we're going to make our cities safe and clean and beautiful again.
We'll work with Democrat governors and mayors.
We'll probably have to, and that's okay.
We will teach our children to love our country, to honor our history, and to always respect our great American flag.
We will get critical race theory and transgender insanity the hell out of our schools.
And we will keep men out of women's sports.
I will defend religious liberty.
I will restore free speech.
And I will defend the right to keep and bear arms our Second Amendment.
And after years of building up foreign nations, defending foreign borders, and protecting foreign lands, we will finally be going to build up our borders, build up our country, and build up and protect our citizens this time.
It's called America First.
We're going to put America first.
We put America last.
They put America last.
We put America first.
And it doesn't mean we're into isolation.
We're not.
We're going to help the world, but we have to straighten ourselves out or we won't be able to help anything.
And we will stop illegal immigration once and for all.
We will not be invaded.
We will not be occupied.
We will not be overrun.
We will not be conquered.
We will be a free and proud nation once again, and that will take place rapidly.
Everyone will prosper.
Every family will thrive.
And every day will be filled with the opportunity and hope.
And maybe above all, the American dream will be back.
It's going to come back.
We're bringing it back for your children.
And we're bringing it back for yourselves.
And tonight we will have all-night coverage of election results.
So be sure to join us starting at 7 p.m. Eastern Time live all night bringing you the results of the presidential election.
We'll get your reaction by phone to the evening's outcomes as the ballots are counted and each state is called in favor of either Vice President Harris or former President Trump.
We'll also follow all the state races that will decide the balance of power in Congress.
Again, that is live coverage starting at 7 p.m.
So you'll want to watch that tonight.
You can also follow that on our app, C-SPANNOW, or online at c-span.org.
And we'll go straight to your calls now to Paul in Lynchburg, Virginia, a Trump supporter.
Hello.
Good morning to you.
Morning, Paul.
Hey, good morning.
Can you hear me okay?
Yes, go ahead.
So, you know, I've been voting for many years.
I'm 60 years old.
And what I've been hearing through this campaign, and I've heard a lot from both sides, but only from the Republican side and Donald Trump have I heard what he's wanting to do.
And I know a lot of things are going to end up having to get passed through Congress with both of them.
But I haven't heard Camalia Harris say a single thing about what she's going to do to change.
She says that she's going to go in with a do-do to-do list.
But that's what she said.
I had a do-do list to do for the last four years, and it hasn't gotten us in a good position.
So I feel that you have to weigh out what's better on both sides.
Each both sides have an agenda.
And I feel that Donald Trump has more force than Okama Harris is going to offer us.
I feel like we're going to get four more years of Joe Biden through her.
And have you already voted there in Virginia, Paul?
I was the second person in line this morning.
All right.
Wow.
So you voted this morning because polls only opened at seven.
Yes, ma'am.
It's seven o'clock here in Lynchburg.
All right.
Here's Charlie in Minnesota.
You're still undecided, Charlie?
Yes, and no.
See, I'm not saying I'm undecided.
You know what's really bad in this state of Minnesota is that it's so Democratic that there are so many people that are undecided what to do because a bill that, wow, you know, if I vote Republican, my vote isn't going to count.
So the electoral votes kind of is something that probably needs to be looked at or redone or something because there are so many people up north, West Central, you name it, all around the Twin Cities.
And all these people are Trump fans.
You get down in the cities, and we're talking to Noka County, we're talking Carver, we're talking, you know, Hennepin County.
And they've got so many people there that are voting Democrat because they want a free ride.
They want to be in the unions.
They think the unions are going to save them, give them their job.
And then you've got the free voters that are getting free money.
So, Charlie, you have voted then?
Have you already voted?
Are you planning on voting today?
No, we're not going to be able to vote for another hour or two, but I'm definitely going to vote.
But I'm going to say this: this electoral votes are not the way to go in the state of Minnesota.
They can have it in other states, but it seems like everyone's vote don't count here because of the way it's set up.
So I am going to vote.
And you know what?
I just pray that we can get our America back.
Paul in Long Island, Harris supporter.
Good morning, Paul.
Hi, good morning.
How are you?
Thank you for taking the cold C-SPAN is the best.
I'm Republican 46 years.
I hope you'll let me finish.
I'll talk fast.
I was with the Sheriff's Department, been to 48 out of 50 states, and I had a meeting with Trump.
