(NewsNation) — It’s Election Day and NewsNation’s partners at Decision Desk HQ give former President Donald Trump a 53% chance of winning the White House. As voters head to the polls, all eyes will be on the seven swing states that have had razor thin races for months now.
On Tuesday, Trump will cast his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, before heading back to his Mar-a-Lago estate. There, the former president is expected to host a campaign watch party later in the evening.
Trump is returning to Florida after a battleground blitz on his final day of campaigning. He made stops in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and, in keeping with tradition from his first two campaigns, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

JD Vance’s team said the vice presidential candidate will cast his vote Tuesday in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Vice President Kamala Harris has already cast her vote, mailing in her ballot to model the different modes of voting for Americans.
Harris is expected to be in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday where she will receive briefings and conduct internal meetings with staff. She is also scheduled to participate in radio interviews for stations in all seven swing states.
It’s uncertain when Harris will head to Howard University for election night, but that’s where her team said she will gather on Tuesday evening.
Walz isn’t done campaigning yet, heading to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a last-minute political stop. He will then return to Washington, D.C. later Tuesday to join Harris at her election night event.
Confidence flying high for Trump, Harris
Trump’s campaign said it is feeling optimistic, encouraged by the early voting numbers it has seen across several battleground states. In a campaign memo, Trump’s team said Republicans are outperforming past elections in absentee ballots and early votes.
In the final pitch to the public, Trump’s campaign targeted low-propensity voters who don’t typically participate in elections as well as men, who the Trump campaign hopes will turn out in droves Tuesday.
So far, campaign officials claim they have monitoring early-voting results, which showed more women have voted than men. The Harris campaign said it’s a good sign for them.
Still, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign said they feel good about where things are. Campaign officials said the former president is going into this election day stronger than he has in any previous elections.

Harris’ campaign said the vice president is also going into Election Day confident.
The vice president rallied across Pennsylvania on the final day of the campaign, finishing with a star-studded event in Philadelphia that drew 30,000 guests, according to the campaign. The campaign said they’re trying to get voters to the polls, but they’re still trying to convince those undecideds and late-deciders to vote for Harris.
The vice president said she would fight for all Americans.
“It is my pledge to you that if you give me a chance to fight on your behalf as president, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way,” Harris said.
The Harris campaign said it is also prepared in the event Trump calls victory, saying they have hired lawyers from across the country who are ready to defend the results should Trump allege election fraud.
