Summary
Trump used Election Day appearances to urge voters to “keep America great,” centering his closing message on immigration enforcement and his economic record.
53% of likely voters rated the economy as poor in the latest New York Times/Siena poll, with affordability a top concern as voters headed to the polls.
Trump nonetheless said “inflation is solved,” even though consumer prices were up 3.7% in September from a year earlier.
He also defended contentious foreign policy choices, including the Iran war and U.S. support for Israel, while arguing the United States is now respected abroad.
