Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani thinks Republican Donald Trump will win Tuesday's presidential election, a victory that will cut a path through Florida and Pennsylvania.
Giuliani appeared on "The Joe Pags Show" and said a visit to Pennsylvania on Monday, part of Trump's five-state final push, "could be the icing on the cake" of a Trump triumph.
"Florida, I think we're there," Giuliani said. "It's going to be close. It always is. It's going to be 2-3 [points], and we're going to win it. Pennsylvania, I think we're going to win.
"We didn't have a candidate [in the past] who appeals to [Pennsylvania] on coal, steel, the return of industry, and protection of the right to bear arms. Pennsylvania is a very big Second Amendment state."

Giuliani, who has worked with Trump on the campaign for months and has made several campaign appearances for and with him, said he told the real estate mogul the states that show a 2-point Clinton lead will likely end with a 2-point Trump win. The difference, he said, are the voters who are afraid of publicly saying they support Trump for various reasons.
"I had a guy come up and tell me he and his sons are voting for Trump but they're not telling the wife because the wife is upset with him," Giuliani said. "I've got people coming up to me telling me, 'I'm voting for Trump. I'm a doctor and some doctors think you're not that bright if you're voting for him.'"
Giuliani added Tuesday's final tally of the popular vote could be similar to 1980's, which saw Republican Ronald Reagan topple Democrat Jimmy Carter by more than 9 percentage points.
"I believe if he wins, then we would write about our analysis of that underground enthusiasm and the people who are refusing to say they can't vote for him," Giuliani said. "What you might see is something like we saw in '80, where it was an even election going into Election Day, and Reagan won by nine or 12. You might see that."
