Nigel Farage has said he believes that Donald Trump will win the Presidential election and he has seen a lot more support in middle class areas.
He also boasted that Reform had seen an increase in members after the Conservatives elected Kemi Badenoch as their new leader.
Speaking on GB News Nigel Farage said:
“I was in Pennsylvania yesterday and last night and I came back this morning, went to a couple of polling stations at seven o’clock on the outskirts of Scranton, which, of course, is where Joe Biden comes from.
“I would say this; that in Pennsylvania, an absolutely key swing state, 19 Electoral College votes, which matter a lot, Trump won it narrowly in ‘16. Biden won it in ‘20. It’s seen as the absolute pivotal state of all.
“One thing that was said to me by people that were living there, we were there in the very, very middle class detached houses, sort of small town America type area, was that there were a lot more Trump signs on lawns than there were this time than in 2020 or 2016. Which kind of means people are less afraid to show their support for Trump.
“I just think, with all the reports I’m getting at the moment of really big turnouts happening, especially in the rural parts of America, on this course, he’s going to win and win quite comfortably.
“We chatted about the polls, we chatted about the early voting. About a third of the votes for the whole election were in by yesterday, and had been counted, believe it or not, or estimated already.
“I tell you what, for somebody of 78 years old, who was doing four big rallies yesterday, who’s been working at a pace that’s almost unbelievable, he just looked remarkably well, very, very relaxed indeed. I mean, the guy is a physical phenomenon. He really is. No, he’s feeling good. He’s feeling bullish. He believes he’s going to win.
“No, I wasn’t [called up on stage] and I think that the row over the Labour Party trying to send 100 operatives over here to campaign was perhaps a factor in that, even though, of course, I’m not here, you know, as a representative of any political party. I’m here because I’m a friend of his.
“But that was perhaps a reason, why better that I’m a bit lower profile.
“So what [Reform] did, we reached out to the manufacturers of the mega caps and asked for a small sample size done in the reform colours. So it was rather fun to wear that to the rally. And by the way, Donald thought it was terrific: ‘Love the hat’. Incredible.
“I said if he loses decisively, he should go and play golf. And if he loses decisively, he will play golf. He, in fact, voted here in Palm Beach about two hours ago, and he was very clear outside the station to the cameras that were there that if Kamala wins in a fair contest, he will accept it.
“But look, I don’t believe that’s going to happen. I think the betting markets are right, and indeed, the odds around Trump have tightened today.
“I think he’s going to win. I just don’t see how Kamala wins from here unless there is a massive turnout in all the big urban centres around America. All the indications from early voting show that Trump will win the number of votes he needs in the Electoral College.”
