The president continued his campaign blitz amid late polls pointing to Democratic momentum in key battlegrounds.

President Donald Trump rushed around the country on Monday in a final bid to drive his voters to the polls and blunt any late Democratic momentum in the battle for control of the Senate.
The president kicked off the final day of the campaign with a rally in Cleveland, where he told supporters midterm elections were boring before he took office. Imploring them to vote as if he were on the ballot Tuesday, he echoed the messages he's been delivering down the homestretch: that putting Democrats in charge of Congress would put the robust economy in jeopardy and risk opening the borders to undocumented immigrants.
Trump will conclude his campaign sprint with back-to-back rallies in Missouri and Indiana, two states he won overwhelmingly in 2016 that are critical to Republican hopes to maintain or grow their Senate majority.
Its all fragile. We have to go out and we have to vote, Trump said on a conference call with supporters Monday ahead of his three-rally day. Even though Im not on a ballot, in a certain way Im on the ballot.
We have an energy over the last couple weeks that people have not seen in the Republican Party and it feels very much like 16 because they love what weve done and they want to keep it going, he added.
Still, as Trump barnstormed the country to turn out his supporters, a final batch of polls provided signs of late momentum for Democrats in the battle for the Senate, with surveys showing their candidates leading in two battleground races and significantly ahead in New Jersey.

Period. End of discussion.
Tomorrow, we start the process of taking our country back.
It's the first step, but certainly a giant leap for humanity (and real Americans).

He's said so himself more than once. Of course he's ALSO said that if Republicans lose it won't be his fault.
