Just watch the full interview. He doesn't sound like a man lacking confidence, IMO.
His communication style is monotone. He looks like he's sleeping 3hr/night. He said it's going to be very close, while also stating Harris could sweep the swing states and that a hidden 1-2% advantage is more likely for Harris than ttump.

Surprised he waited so long - I guess he was holding his endorsement when he was still trying to get Kamala in for an interview.
As I’ve said before the whole Republican GOTV strategy is basically to drive low-propensity male voters (especially young males) who listen to Rogan, Adin Ross, Jake Paul, Elon Musk, etc to the polls. We’ll see if it works. I’m terrified it will work. Four years of an administration driven primarily by hyper-online trolls will be a nightmare.

My FB post regarding tomorrow:
A couple things to remind you of, for the next 48 hours.
1. Trump will announce himself the victor, regardless of what votes are still to be counted, no later than 11pm tomorrow. There will be no evidence of his victory. He will claim the win, do his jerking off dance, and go off stage. Once he goes off stage, we will not see him in public again until all of the states report. He'll tweet and maybe do a Fox News phone-in, but you won't see him until results are official. We COULD know the winner as soon as mid-day Wednesday at the earliest, barring a blowout, but it will probably be Thursday, if not later. Do not believe what either side says until the swing states report.
2. States control elections. Every state has different rules. Some allow for votes to be counted prior to Election Day as they come in (Florida). Some do not allow a single vote to be counted prior to election day (Georgia, Pennsylvania). And some allow for multiple days for mail-in ballots to arrive. This is why some will be reporting slower than others. This isn't a political stunt--it's a difference in state constitutions. Do not listen to the cronies say that it's proof there is cheating. The only true cheating is if they stop counting votes before every single is counted because of some arbitrary deadline.
3. As you are watching the results come in tomorrow night, keep in mind two terms:
--the Red Mirage
--the Blue Wave
The Red Mirage is a result of rural voters living in smaller towns that traditionally vote Republican getting their votes registered before urban voters. Remember-all votes are counted by their local municipalities. Since they have less people there, those votes will be counted faster, and will be reported sooner to the state election boards. Trump and his cronies are going to harp on this all day tomorrow night and until the election is called. This is where their "legitimacy" that they won will come from when they celebrate "victory" Tuesday night. As cities and larger municipalities catch up on their votes, you will see the Blue Wave. Democrat votes will finally be reported as larger population blocks get reported. And 45 and his supports will say those votes are not legitimate and should be thrown out.
4. Chuck Todd said it best--if one of the candidates wins both North Carolina and Pennsylvania, it's all but a wrap. If it's split, every single vote from Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona will be gone over with a microscope. Possibly Iowa, possibly....
5. Keep an eye on Florida. They have an abortion amendment on the ballot to restore pre-Dobbs rules, as well as medical marijuana, on their ballots. It is a stretch to say Kamala can win there, but if it's close, Trump's NYC rally could be the October surprise that costs him the election. Polls are showing Hispanics in Florida are pissed at him.
6. Regardless of the result, there are a lot of nervous and scared people right now. Be easy on each other.
7. Expect pockets of violence, no matter the actual victor. When states start reporting official results, people are going to get riled up when what they thought would happen didn't. Don't talk to people you don't know about who you voted for. You never know who is the person who is ready to act out because their candidate lost.
Prediction: Pennsylvania won't be known for days, since they cannot start counting votes until 7am on Election Day. When it is all counted, Kamala wins there, and that's where the violence will start. Trump's supporters on X have been on Bucks County Pennsylvania for what they think is shady stuff since early voting started. They know she's going to win that state, which is why they have spent the last two weeks sowing the seeds of doubt on right wing social media. This is where the mirage of "see, they've been cheating all along there" will come from. The Philadelphia area was one of the slowest areas to count votes in 2020 (along with the Phoenix and Atlanta areas). Bucks County is north of it. This will be the epicenter of the attempt of 45's supporters to overturn the election.
Be safe, friends.

Nicole Wallace publicly shamed him on her show on Friday. Bookended the whole thing with messages to him. And she has been a personal Bush family friend for decades.
Tells me that a private campaign to get him in the ring has failed and the never Trumpers have gone public with the shame.

This is what gives me hope for a Harris win. I don't think many that voted for Biden will switch and vote for Trump this time, but we know Pubs are voting for Harris. And I don't think Trump will have more new voters than Harris. That should add up to Harris getting even more votes than Biden did.
