2016 Election Day Campaigning Comes to an End

After months of campaigning, Election Day 2016 is finally here.

Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton continued their push to sway voters through the final day of the election. Both have given several radio interviews in battleground states throughout the day. President Obama spent part of Election Day urging citizens to vote and pushing for Secretary Clinton in a series of radio interviews as well. Nearly 45 million Americans had already cast their votes before the day began thanks to early voting.

Going into Election Night, the status of a potential concession from candidate Donald Trump should he lose remains up in the air. The real estate mogul and reality star has frequently claimed the election to be “rigged” and has voiced concerns about voter fraud. When asked specifically what he would do if Hillary Clinton should win, the Republican Presidential Candidate said only, “We’ll see what happens.”

Clinton supporters across the country describe their candidate as better qualified for the Oval Office. Trump’s supporters believe he would be a much-needed break from the political status quo.

On the state level, the battle between incumbent Republican Pat Toomey and Democratic challenger Katie McGinty will help determine if the GOP retains its Senate Majority. In his first term in Congress Senator Toomey amassed one of the most conservative voting records in Washington. Senator Toomey has not endorsed Donald Trump although Katie McGinty has allied herself with Secretary Clinton. McGinty has criticized Toomey for not denouncing the Republican nominee. This senatorial race has been the most expensive in the country’s history.
