Priebus Says Early Voting Brings Election Outcome 'Down To The Wire'

Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Sunday said he’s “concerned” about the effect of early voting across the nation in this presidential election cycle, predicting the outcome will be come “down to the wire.”

In an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Priebus pushed back hard on a report in The Washington Post that he’s concerned about President Donald Trump’s chances on Election Day.

“I’m not concerned about that at all,” Priebus insisted Sunday.

"I'm concerned about early voting,” he said.

“I’ve always been concerned about early voting,” he added, noting the response has been massive across the nation.

“Having five times more people in Florida vote as ever before… polls are all over the map… this is something that will come down to the wire.”

Priebus predicted Trump will be focusing on the economy in the closing weeks, and says polls won’t be predictive.

“The president is going to pivoting much more on the economy,” he said, adding: “I don’t think anyone can predict [the outcome] with early voting in the country.”
