'WE'LL WIN THEM ALL'
Trump will beat Biden in EVERY Sun Belt state despite ex-VP being ahead in polls, adviser predicts
A SENIOR adviser on Donald Trump’s campaign has predicted a clean sweep of the Sunbelt states in favor of the president – contradicting what polls are suggesting now of a competitive race.

ABC’s polling average shows Biden holding an advantage in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – while maintaining a near nine-point lead in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Miller also referred to the potential for a “red mirage” – the appearance of a Trump lead on Tuesday evening due to a quicker count of in-person Election Day votes.
“If you speak with many smart Democrats, they believe that President Trump will be ahead on election night, probably getting 280 electoral (votes) somewhere in that range.
“And then they’re going to try to steal it back after the election,” Miller said, suggesting that early leads would guarantee Trump electoral votes and that all ballots arriving after Election Day are invalid.
Some states’ laws allow for the tabulation of votes prior to Election Day, 16 require the count to wait until Tuesday and 17 more prevent their tabulation until polls close.
A number of states, including North Carolina and Pennsylvania provide several days for ballots postmarked by Tuesday to reach county clerk and election office.

"We're still going to have enough electoral votes to get President Trump re-elected," Miller added.
