Whatley 'very encouraged' by the early voter turnout nationwide

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley predicted the higher-than-usual early voter turnout will result in wins for the party.

Nearly half of the country’s registered voters have submitted their ballots as of Monday, the day before the Nov. 5 election. While the contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump could not be closer, with a RealClearPolitics polling average from Monday afternoon showing a dead tie, Whatley appeared confident in the candidates he has backed.
