All eyes are on the presidential election between Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump. Former president Donald Trump has been called the winner in Florida, and if that trend sweeps the country, we expect he’ll take the stage in West Palm Beach, but when, however, is anyone’s guess. WINK News anchor Russ McCaskey is live outside the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach where later tonight, Trump will address his supporters. There are thousands of Trump supporters at the convention center, each of them projecting confidence. But there are some feelings the tension. WINK News anchor Claire Galt is stationed inside the Palm Beach County Convention Center and talked to a number of supporters. Everyone’s eyes are glued to the big screens and cheers break out when things look good for Trump. A good number of them wearing MAGA hats and red Trump gear. Among them a group of women who said they didn’t just vote for Trump, they spent countless hours making phone calls trying to get others to do the same. On Tuesday morning WINK News went to a local diner to see how people were feeling about the election. It was packed with hungry customers, many of whom had voted today. Most told WINK they are excited about election day and excited to voice their opinion, while others say they are just ready for it to be over. Everyone expects it to be a long night, but most people said they plan on staying up and watching the results come in. Earlier this afternoon, Trump spoke briefly with reporters and called out one of his famous former friends, Oprah Winfrey. During Harris’ rally in Philadelphia last night Winfrey warned that a vote for Trump could mean the end of our democracy. Then she got specific, saying a Trump victory might lead to the end of presidential elections as we know them. “It is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again,” said Winfrey, “and let me be very clear: if you do not make sure that the people in your life can get to the polls, that is a mistake. Deciding not to decide – that is most definitely a vote to let other people control your future.” Trump didn’t like what heard. “I think Oprah should be ashamed of herself to say that, she should be ashamed,” he said to reporters. “She knows me. She wanted to run with me as a vice president. She was gonna be the vice president. She wrote me a letter. It’s in the book and now she goes and makes statements like that. She’s a divider.” Supporters believe in a Trump victory and expect the former president to appear and deliver a speech. Southwest Florida congressman Byron Donalds, who was freshly reelected to his office, will be arriving soon. He’s spent the last several days touring the nation with the former president.
