RNC Chairman Michael Whatley predicts results will be known on election night

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley predicted Wednesday that results for the 2024 election will be known on election night. 

"I think we're going to know on election night," Whatley said on the "Furthermore with Amanda Head" podcast. "I feel really good about where we're going to be, and we like the map right now. We like the polls right now. I like the voter registration numbers."

As the 2024 presidential election gets closer, the GOP has been embracing early voting, unlike their strategy in 2020, and Whatley said it was paying off. 

"I like the early voting numbers that are coming in right now," Whatley said. "We're very upbeat. And I think we are going to know on election night."

He went on to predict that America would be "very excited" and ready to welcome former President Donald Trump back into the White House. He also encouraged Americans to have a plan to vote. 

"It's great if you want to vote early," he said.  "It's great if you want to vote by mail. It's great if you want to vote on Election Day. You have to make a plan, execute the plan and deliver that vote. There's absolutely no substitute for it."
