WATCH: Trump Reveals How He's Feeling An Hour Before Presidential Debate - 'This Will Be Triple What The Superbowl Is!'

Ahead of the presidential debate on Tuesday evening, 45th President Donald Trump said that he felt "good" an hour before his showdown with Vice President Kamala Harris. The Republican presidential nominee was seen Facetiming with Trump campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz alongside social media influencers Jack Posobiec and Nick Sortor.

"Do a great job, everybody. The set is good. I feel good, and we're going to do something," Trump said. "You guys are more important than I am, actually, because you'll get the word out the way you'll want to get it out." Bruesewitz explained to Trump that the individuals in the room have 50 million followers combined. "Have a good time," Trump said in response. "Triple what the Super Bowl is. We'll have some fun."

The presidential debate comes as Vice President Harris' momentum in the race has stagnated after a media firestorm about her candidacy following her nomination to the top of the ticket after President Joe Biden exited the race in August. The debate will be a crucial step for the Harris campaign to hold onto its momentum going into the campaign's final stretch, though Trump has an electoral edge according to recent polling.

According to polling expert Nate Silver's election model, Trump maintains a 64.4 percent chance of winning the presidency compared to Harris' 35.3 percent chance. When broken down by the probability to win each swing state, Trump has a 65 percent chance to carry Pennsylvania, 55 percent in Michigan, 53 percent in Wisconsin, 77 percent in Arizona, 76 percent in North Carolina, 69 percent in Georgia, and 61 percent in Nevada.

"We continue to see mediocre data for Kamala Harris, like a new Pew national poll with a very large sample size that showed the race tied nationally — which would probably translate to a loss for Harris in the Electoral College," Silver explained on his newsletter, the Silver Bulletin. "Although the model's convention bounce adjustment will get phased out as we see more post-Labor Day and post-debate data, things are going in the wrong direction for her even without the adjustment. Her lead in our national polling average is down to 2.3 points after having peaked at 4.3 points on Aug. 23."

Trump's new high in Nate Silver's model comes after a New York Times/Siena poll showed Trump leading by one point nationally in the 2024 race. According to the survey of 1,695 likely voters, Trump has the support of 48 percent of the electorate compared to Harris' 47 percent.
