“It’s looking very good. Right now it’s looking very good. It will be an interesting day. Thank you,” he said.

When asked whether he would concede if the election were called for Clinton, he said, “We’ll see what happens.”

Outside the polling station, some people shouted ‘New York hates you!’

Trump also said that if he is defeated by Clinton, it would be a ‘tremendous waste of money, energy and time’.
