Senior Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes said the president could be down in mail-in ballots and still pull off a win with in-person votes
A senior Trump campaign adviser said Sunday he believes it's likely the president will trail in the polls and mail-in voting requests going into Election Day but come from behind to win, similar to his victory in 2016.
Cortes suggested more Democrats requesting ballots didn't necessarily indicate they would vote for Biden, but said that, regardless, Donald Trump would likely close the gap on Nov. 3. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel also predicted Trump would prevail, despite Democrats' lead in fundraising.
On Fox, Cortes explained his belief in an Election Day win for Trump stemmed in large part from the gap in enthusiasm between Biden and Trump supporters.
