Rubio: 'Red Wave' Coming on Tuesday

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., thinks that the United States will see a “red wave” in the midterm elections on Tuesday, which he compared to the 2016 presidential election, The Hill reports.

“In 2016 when we went in that final day, everybody was predicting gloom and doom,” Rubio, who is not up for re-election, said at an event for Republican congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis in Jacksonville. 

“They didn’t realize how many people were out there waiting for Election Day because they feel so strongly about this race that they want to go to the polls on Election Day.”

“When those numbers started coming in, we’d never seen anything like it,” he continued. “Forget about a blue wave. A red wave of votes started coming in, and it proved all the pundits wrong in 2016. That’s what’s gonna happen again now.”

"But we have to make sure it happens," Rubio added. "That’s what we have to do now. Today is about making sure that everyone turns out and votes."
