Both the Republican and Democratic National Committee Chairs have expressed confidence heading into Election Day, with each side openly predicting their candidates will win.

What the RNC chair is saying: During an interview with the Hill, Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley said, “We certainly have a great shot at winning the national vote, but I think more importantly is that we are going into Election Day with leads in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Georgia, and we are doing substantially better in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania than we were in either 2016 or in 2020. So we are in a great position to win this thing on Election Day.”

He added, “We are very bullish. And Donald Trump is right now barnstorming across every one of these battleground states and talking directly with the American voters about the issues that they care about, and that’s what’s going to get him across the finish line.”

What the DNC chair is saying: During an interview with the Hill, Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Ken Martin said, “I am really confident, in the end, not only with the early vote returns that we’ve seen, but also with the ground game that we have, that we’ll be successful on election night. Look, we’ve built this campaign from the very beginning; by the way, we knew this was going to be a close campaign, and we built it, and we’re prepared for it.”

Martin added that their campaign has run a strong ground game and has been turning out early voters. According to Martin, the Trump campaign is relying on their supporters to vote on Election Day, which he suggested is a risky approach. He added, “If you believe that this is a tied game, in the final quarter of the game, the tie has to go to the campaign that actually has the organization on the ground to get their voters and their supporters to the polls, and in all these battlegrounds, the only presence we’re seeing on the ground in any sizable fashion is the Harris-Walz campaign.”
