周日早上，唐纳德·特朗普在与美国广播公司新闻首席华盛顿记者乔纳森·卡尔的电话交谈中表示，他“大幅领先”，并预测选举的获胜者将在选举之夜揭晓。
卡尔问特朗普，他是否认为自己有可能会输。
“是的，我想，你知道，”特朗普回答道。“我猜你可能会输，可能会输。我的意思是，这是常有的事，对吗?”他说。“但我认为我有相当大的领先优势，但是，你可以说，是的，是的，你可能会输。坏事可能会发生。你知道，事情会发生，但会很有趣。”
至于他何时将就选举结果向全国发表讲话，特朗普说，“我会在适当的时候出去。”
这位前总统在周六午夜前结束的又一天紧张的竞选活动后与卡尔进行了交谈。
“我不认为以前有人做过我的时间表，”他说，“重要的是，声音能坚持吗?”
他补充道:“从来没有人做过我做过的事情，这些都是大型集会和巨大的热情。”
特朗普在竞选的最后几天发起了一场战场州闪电战。上周在西部各州巡回演讲后，他周五在密歇根州和威斯康星州的集会上发表讲话，周六在北卡罗来纳州两次发表讲话，并顺便访问了弗吉尼亚州，他说他可以赢得这场竞选。在与卡尔通完电话后，他周日前往宾夕法尼亚州、北卡罗来纳州和乔治亚州参加集会。
引用巴西总部位于美国的民调公司AtlasIntel自称是2020年“最准确”的民调机构，特朗普表示，他在所有七个战场州都领先。
当被问及他计划何时向全国发表讲话时选举一天，他说，“我会在适当的时候出现。
特朗普对卡尔在“早安美国”节目中的报道提出异议，称特朗普在集会上传达的信息不像他的一些竞选顾问希望的那样有条理和有针对性。
“我只是看着，”特朗普告诉卡尔。“你说我的消息到处都是。不是的。”
卡尔指出，特朗普本人曾谈到他的演讲如何从一个主题跳到另一个主题，他称之为“编织”。
“看，编织让我当选总统，”他说。“是啊，那是其中之一，但是，但是编织是个好东西。没有人能做这件事。很少有人能做到。”
Trump tells ABC he expects a winner to be declared election night
In a phone conversation with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Sunday morning, Donald Trump said he has "a substantial lead" and predicted the winner of the election will be known by election night.
Karl asked Trump if he thought there was any way he could lose.
"Yeah, I guess, you know," Trump answered. "I guess you could lose, can lose. I mean, that happens, right?" he said. "But I think I have a pretty substantial lead, but, you could say, yeah, yeah, you could lose. Bad things could happen. You know, things happen, but it's going to be interesting."
As for when he will address the country about the election results, Trump said, "I'll be out there at the right time."
The former president spoke with Karl after another grueling day on the campaign trail that ended shortly before midnight Saturday.
"I don't think anyone's ever done my schedule before," he said, "Big thing is, can the voice hold out?"
He added: "Nobody's ever done what I've done, and they're big rallies and tremendous enthusiasm."
Trump embarked on a battleground state blitz in the final days of the campaign. After a swing through western states last week, he spoke at rallies in Michigan and Wisconsin on Friday and twice in North Carolina on Saturday with a side trip to Virginia, which he says he can win. After his call with Karl, he was on to rallies Sunday in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
CitingBrazil-based polling company AtlasIntel, which bills itself as the "most-accurate" pollster in 2020, Trump said he is leading in all seven battleground states.
Asked when he plans to address the country onElectionDay, he said, "I'll be out there at the right time.
Trump took issue with Karl's reporting on "Good Morning America" that Trump's message in his rallies is not as disciplined and focused as some of his campaign advisers would like it to be.
"I just watched," Trump told Karl. "You said my message was all over the place. It's not."
Karl pointed out that Trump himself has talked about how his speeches jump from topic to topic, which he calls "the weave."
“Look, the weave got me elected president,” he said. “Yeah, that's one of those things, but, but the weave is a good thing. Nobody else can do it. Very few people can."
