Trump campaign manager: ‘We feel really good’

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign manager projected confidence Tuesday night as the presidential race sat on a razor’s edge.

“We feel really good about the fact that we’ve kept this race very competitive with a political veteran who has many advantages,” Kellyanne Conway said during an interview on MSNBC.

Conway spoke a little before 9:30 p.m. on the East Coast, as experts increasingly looked bullish on Trump’s chances to win the key state of Florida.
 
Conway told MSNBC that the campaign’s internal polling always had both candidates under 50 percent, and she said that she was hopeful Trump would be able to pull out the victory, pointing to the early vote where Democrats had been bullish after large Hispanic turnout.
 
“Hillary Clinton banked a big early vote in Florida but [2012 GOP nominee] Mitt Romney was losing the early vote in Florida by about 167,000 votes or so,” she said. “We cut that number almost in half to about 88,000.”
