On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, expressed his willingness to accept defeat if the election is fair while voting at the Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, Florida.

Accompanied by his wife Melania, Trump expressed optimism about the election outcome, stating, "Tonight is going to be a big party," while also taking the opportunity to criticize Oprah Winfrey and Fox News.

As of election day, over 82 million voters had already cast their ballots early, with significant focus on seven key swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Polls indicate a tight race between Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, raising concerns about potential delays in announcing election results.

Despite the tight race, Trump claimed strong support in Georgia and nationwide, asserting that this campaign is his best of the three he has run.

Trump distanced himself from any potential violence from his supporters, asserting, 'I don’t have to tell them' to refrain from violence.

Heightened security measures were evident as O'Donnell, a public relations executive, was subjected to a purse search by a Secret Service agent upon entering the polling location.

The former president conveyed trust in the Secret Service's protection following two assassination attempts earlier in the summer.

At recent rallies, Trump has urged early voting while simultaneously expressing skepticism about the integrity of the early voting process.

Trump mentioned he had no prepared speeches for the evening's results, stating he knows what to say if he wins but does not want to consider losing.
