Trump took to X (formerly Twitter) – a social platform that previously banned him – on the morning of election day and encouraged his followers to vote for him.

“Your vote will lead us to Greatness. Your vote will unleash a new GOLDEN AGE! Your vote will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! VOTE TRUMP!” he penned.

He also encouraged his followers to “stay online” and to not “get offline” ahead of the polls closing.

“Republicans we’re doing really well,” Trump said via X. “Stay online. Don’t get offline and vote.”

He also predicted that he would successfully defeat Harris.

“We’re going to have a big victory tonight!” he said in the clip.
