President Donald Trump, speaking at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia Tuesday as voters head to the polls, offered a positive message to members of his campaign who’ve been working to get him reelected.

“We just got back. We had some incredible rallies and incredible times and I hear we’re doing very well in Florida, and we’re doing very well in Arizona, we’re doing incredibly well in Texas… I’m hearing we’re doing well all over,” Trump opened his remarks.

The President spoke optimistically that he would win Tuesday’s election, saying “…we’re gonna have a great night and… much more importantly we’re gonna have a great four years…”

Moreover, Trump said he feels “very good” after completing six rallies in the last day, but that “the voice gets a little bit choppy, I think.”

Trump touted the accomplishments of his administration, including his handling of the novel coronavirus.

When asked by members of the press whether he’s prepared acceptance and concession speeches, Trump said he’s not “thinking about” that.

“You know, winning is easy, losing is never easy, not for me it’s not.” -Pres. Trump

Instead, Trump emphasized the enthusiasm behind his campaign and the thousands of supporters showing up at his rallies in shows of incredible support.

“When you see rallies the likes of which in the history of this country, probably in the history of the world, nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said. “There’s a tremendous love going on in this country and there’s really a tremendous unity… nobody’s ever seen that. Where you take an airport and the airport’s not big enough to hold the crowds. Nobody’s ever seen a thing like that.”

He continued, “Our opposition as you know would have a few people sitting in circles, and that’s ok, that’s not abnormal… But we would get crowds of 50,000 people, 45,000 people more. Nobody’s ever seen anything like that. So, it was an honor. They’re great people. These are people that they appreciate what we did and they also remember before I got there and before we all got there.”

Parting ways with the office, Trump left his Campaign with a message of gratitude. “I really came here to thank you all and I’m gonna say and get immediately back to work,” he said, before taking questions from reporters.

Biden’s Poor Polling and Harris’ Low Electability Rating Could Have Democrats Considering ‘Nuclear Option’

With polls consistently showing a poor approval rating for President Joe Biden at below 40 percent, and a recent poll put Kamala Harris’ electability at only 28 percent, Democrats are in full panic mode.

“Behind-the-scenes discussion of how Democrats could arrive at a third option for the next election is underway. Operatives are preparing for the possibility of a contested presidential primary in which other would-be nominees take on Ms. Harris, but that could be damaging for the party” reports the Telegraph.

Therefore, Democrats are allegedly whispering about a potential “nuclear option” that would call for current Vice President Harris to be nominated to the Supreme Court. The Telegraph writes that “while the scenario is highly improbable, and perhaps a reflection of a Washington rumor mill in overdrive, the fact it has come up at all shows the depths of the predicament the Biden administration currently finds itself in, amid rising inflation, a stalled domestic agenda, and foreign policy disasters.”

The theory in question would call for President Biden to nominate Harris to the Supreme Court in the event a seat opens in the next three years during his administration. Biden could then use “Section 2 of the 25thAmendment to nominate a more popular vice president”, adds the Telegraph.

Under Section 1 of the 25th Amendment, that new vice president could assume the presidency if Biden were to step down while president. They would then become the Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential election. That same individual could also be the presumptive Democratic nominee in 2024 if Biden chooses not to run for re-election.

One piece of information that is wetting Democrats’ whistle is that current Supreme Court Justice Breyer has said he does not “want to stay on the Supreme Court until I die.”

The Telegraph notes that “the discussion over potential successors to Mr. Biden is highly unusual less than a year into an administration.”
