The president made his remarks to viewers Tuesday in a final sprint of the marathon as Americans headed to the polls.
“Well, we feel very good," Trump said by phone, pointing to the large crowds at recent events in Michigan as a positive sign. He later stated that he believes he has a "solid chance of winning."
Trump has tirelessly contested in the final stretch leading up to Nov. 3, having persevered multiple rallies in the same day. Meanwhile, his Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, is making Election Day displays in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday. (Campaigning on Monday in Pittsburgh, Biden also sounded positive: "Folks, I have a feeling we're coming together for a big win tomorrow.")

Trump also upheld the decision to shut down the market earlier this year, pointing to the lives that were saved as a result. He offered encouragement for the future, saying that going forward "we build it up again and we’re doing it at a record clip.”

The president also addressed his opponent, suggesting that if Biden wins he will not be able to restrain the far-left wing of his party from ruling over.
He specifically commented on a video conference call between Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. During the conversation, Sanders said that Biden could be the most progressive president the country has ever had.
"Joe’s going to have a hard time, he’s not going to be able to handle them," Trump said. Later on, he predicted that if Biden tried to obtain control over his party, he could find himself out of a job.
"Joe Biden will never call the shots and if he does he’s not going to be there very long," Trump said.
Cities across the country are bracing for unrest in response to the election's outcome, and Trump condemned Democrats for the threat, saying that people on the left have become "radicalized" and their leaders are not keeping them under control.
“I think it’s very sad and part of the reason is it’ll all be in Democrat cities, Democrat-run cities,” Trump said, mentioning Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, and others. “And that’s because of weak leadership.”
