J.D. Vance predicts when America will find out the election result in the final hours of the campaign

Senator JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, believes America will know the outcome of the 2024 election on Tuesday evening as momentum shifts to the Republican ticket

“My strong assessment is that we are in a good place, that we are going to win,” he told DailyMail.com aboard his plane as he flew between campaign stops.

“I guess we’ll know on Tuesday night. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but you don’t really know until you know.’

With the race between Trump and Harris still razor-thin, pollsters have indicated it could be days – or even weeks – before a final outcome emerges.

If any of the seven battlegrounds are close, ballot counting could continue well into Nov. 6 and beyond. In 2020, the race was officially declared for Joe Biden four days later.

And while Trump is only 0.1 percent ahead of Harris nationally according to polling averages, he has carved out a strong 12-point lead in the betting markets, giving him momentum on Election Day.

Vance is in a four-state wave as he tries to close out the 2024 race by convincing voters to leave on Election Day.

His first stop was Wisconsin, ahead of Michigan and later in the day Georgia and Pennsylvania, as the campaign uses his labor credentials in states where they think he can make a difference.

Last week, the latest DailyMail.com/JLPartners poll showed the Trump/Vance ticket with a three-point lead over Harris/Walz.

Vance sat next to his wife Usha at the front of the campaign’s chartered 737 on the final day of the race.

He said he was skeptical of other polls showing Harris’ momentum.

“If you look at the early numbers, I think our base is very excited,” he said. “Not theirs.”

And he said the ups and downs of recent American political life meant the polls were

“I don’t think pollsters actually know how to survey the American electorate. It’s not even critical,” he said.

‘I don’t know if it is still possible to survey the American electorate. I think polls are more like election predictions than actual polls.”

He also had fun on his last day, stopping by the “world’s largest six-pack” outside a brewery in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to pick up some beer. He recorded a video promising to “make six-packs great again.”

And on board, he joked with the staff about an aide who won as much as $8,000 playing the slots during a campaign stop in Las Vegas.

On stage he is purely businesslike. The final message of the campaign is that Kamala Harris broke it; Donald Trump will solve it.

“To try to drive home the idea that Americans don’t have to live under such financial pressure,” he said, unraveling that message.

“We don’t need to have an economy that makes people feel like they can’t afford basic needs.

“And that’s kind of, I think that’s the thing that I think people care about the most.”
