Biden has started Election Day with a visit to church — and the grave of his late son, Beau.
Biden and his wife, Jill, made an early morning stop at St. Joseph’s on the Brandywine in Wilmington, Delaware, the church he typically visits on Sunday when home. Biden had granddaughters Finnegan and Natalie in tow Tuesday.
After a brief church visit, the four walked to Beau Biden’s grave in the church cemetery.
Beau died of brain cancer in 2015, and Biden often speaks on the campaign trail of his courage while deployed to Iraq as a major in the Delaware Army National Guard.
Biden’s late wife, Neilia, and infant daughter, Naomi, died in a car crash in 1972, shortly after Biden was elected senator. They are also buried in the cemetery.
Biden is spending the rest of his day in Pennsylvania as he makes a final push to get out the vote.
Trump called into “Fox & Friends,” where he predicted he will win by a larger electoral margin than he did in 2016, when he tallied 306 electoral college votes compared to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232.
The president, who returned to the White House after 3 a.m. on Tuesday following a busy day of campaigning, visited his campaign headquarters in Virginia and planned to do interviews with conservative radio hosts later in the day.
Trump spoke at the Republican National Committee annex, saying he’s heard the campaign is doing really well all over the U.S. He said they’re expecting another four more years in office.
Responding to a question, Trump said he’s not thinking about a concession or an acceptance speech right now.
First lady Melania Trump has cast her vote, stopping in at a voting center in Palm Beach, Florida, close to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Asked why she didn’t vote with the Republican president last week, the first lady told reporters on Tuesday: “It’s Election Day so I wanted to come here to vote today for the election.”
The first polls close at 6 p.m. Eastern time in swaths of Indiana and Kentucky, followed by a steady stream of poll closings every 30 minutes to an hour throughout the evening. The last polls in Alaska shut down at 1 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.
Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign manager, said Biden planned to address the nation on Tuesday evening, though the winner might still not be clear. She said Biden would stress unifying the nation in his remarks.
