According to CBS News, speaking in Washington, D.C., he stated, "We're going to continue to run through the finish line," adding that "The early vote numbers were strong, and today's vote numbers all across the country are strong in blue states, in swing states and in red states."

Voters headed to the polls on November 3 for crucial midterm contests that will set the balance of power in Congress for the remainder of President Donald Trump's current term in office.
