Trump's closing message to Republicans: "Pretend that I'm on the ballot"

FACTS

President Trump's final pitch before polls opened was simple: act like his name is on the ballot.

"When I'm on the ballot, as you know, I've won every time, and we get 50 percent more votes than when I'm not on the ballot, so I'm just asking everybody to pretend that I'm on the ballot," Trump said by phone on Monday night's "Hannity." He warned that if Democrats win, "no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, no tax on overtime ... everything gets erased."

"If our people vote, we win in a landslide," he said. The White House says the president held 30 campaign rallies in 20 states over a 32-day travel blitz.
