Pennsylvania Republican Congressional candidate Rick Saccone branded himself the underdog in Tuesday’s special election to fill a Congressional seat held by the GOP for the last 15 years in a district where President Donald Trump won in 2016 by 20 percentage points.

“Well, I’ve always been the underdog in every race I’ve ever ran. This is my fifth election. So, I relish being the underdog. That's good,” Saccone told Fox News in an interview Tuesday morning. “You know, it's all in the Lord's hands. He’s got to get people, move their hearts to get out and vote today. Wake up and go vote, people.”

Saccone touted his campaign’s “ground game,” predicting on “Fox & Friends” that it would be successful in turning out his voters in Tuesday’s special election. He panned recent polls that have showed him trailing Democrat Conor Lamb in a neck-and-neck race.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade noted at the conclusion of his interview with Saccone that Lamb had denied an invitation for an interview on “Fox & Friends.”

After Saccone's Fox interview, Trump tweeted his support for the GOP candidate.
