WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – With just over a week to go until Election Day, President Joe Biden has cast his ballot early.
President Biden voted near his home in Wilmington, Delaware, before returning to the White House Monday afternoon.
Biden ended his re-election campaign in July because of Democrats’ concerns about his ability to defeat his former rival, former president Donald Trump.
Voters waited in line to cast their ballots at the Delaware Department of Elections alongside the president. Biden chatted with voters as he waited for about 40 minutes to vote.
After he voted, President Biden was asked if he thought Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats would win.
“I think we will,” he said.
Harris would be the first Black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to win the presidency.
Polls show the race is tight, and early voting records have been set in several states.
