The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a statement on election day. He is confident in his victory, according to Trump’s X account.

According to him, the enthusiasm of voters at the election is overwhelming, which means that the lines at polling stations will be long.

"I need you to deliver your vote no matter how long it takes. Stay in line! The Radical Communist Democrats want you to pack up and go home. Together, we are going to have a tremendous victory and make America great again!" he added, addressing his supporters.

Presidential elections in the US

Presidential elections are taking place in the US today, November 5. The Republican candidate is Donald Trump, while the Democratic candidate is Kamala Harris.

According to pre-election opinion polls, there is no clear favorite. At the same time, reputable Western media outlets also differ in their forecasts.

These elections are extremely important for Ukraine, as the US has provided the largest amount of military aid to Ukrainian defenders since the beginning of the full-scale war.

As Oleksandr Kraiev, an expert of the Foreign Policy Council Ukrainian Prism, noted in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine, Harris is a less risky option for Ukraine, as Trump's actions are unpredictable.

For his part, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen emphasized that US support for Ukraine is likely to change based on the outcome of the presidential election.
