After enduring seemingly endless months of campaigning between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, voters have only two more weeks to go until Election Day. But some pundits are saying the tightly-wound nature of the race may be the very reason why we could wake up on November 6th and still not have a winner. WOR White House correspondent Jon Decker is among the prognosticators telling Americans to brace themselves. Speaking on 710 WOR’s Len Berman and Michael Riedel program, Decker explained why he senses the tight race may not be resolved by then.
In warning Berman and Riedel about the possibility that the race may go past November 5th, Decker used this analogy: “I’m pumped, [but] you know, I have to tell you, when you think about a marathon you think you’re done at 26.2- I don’t think we’re done at 26.2 this election cycle. I think you have to figure it’s a 30-mile marathon, because I don’t think we’ll necessarily know who the winner is on November 6h or November 7th. So, I’m prepared for that. I’m also prepared for the possibility of litigation as it relates to the results in several very close states.”
Decker added that the tight race has also forced Trump to change his campaign strategy in North Carolina, a state he thought he easily had under wraps. “He’s playing defense, so to speak, because of course this is a state that was in his column for the past two elections. I think it’s changing demographics, for one. The other reason has to do with the governor’s race that’s happening in North Carolina. The lieutenant governor of North Carolina is not a good candidate. He’s down by an average of 16 or 17 points and that’s not helpful if you want to have a united Republican party. I think that those two reasons explain a lot for why this state is so close.”
