[Anchor]

Let's connect with Washington Correspondent Lee Hanseok to look into the atmosphere right before the election.

As it is now the afternoon of the 2nd in the U.S., which is right before election day, President Trump is reportedly moving very busily, is that right?

With one day left until election day, rather than minimizing travel routes, President Trump is launching an intensive offensive from his home base in Washington, firing messages out to key battlegrounds nationwide.

At around 2 p.m. local time, about two hours ago, he delivered a public speech at an outdoor stage by the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

At the event, President Trump urged supporters, saying, "Be sure to come out to the polls tomorrow and protect congressional power."

Before and after the outdoor speech, he has been conducting phone campaigns from the Oval Office minute by minute to support candidates in major battleground areas across the country.

It stands out that he chose telephone campaigning at the very last minute.

Considering the physical limitation that only one or two regions can be visited in a day, it seems he judged that a remote air war method simultaneously targeting multiple competitive states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Texas is more efficient.

Having directly visited fierce battlegrounds over the past weekend to rally support, his calculation is to maximize voter turnout among his base on the final day on a nationwide scale.

It seems the Democrats are gaining momentum as the election approaches.

The Democratic Party has also declared an all-out war, asserting that a practical check mechanism against the administration must be established.

The general assessment is that the current House of Representatives race is leaning toward the Democrats.

In the Senate, an ultra-tight race with a margin of just one or two seats is projected.

To recapture congressional power, the Democrats are focusing on absorbing uncommitted voters by intensively highlighting issues such as the economy, inflation, and the cost of living.

Long lines have already formed at major early voting stations nationwide, and whether the ruling Republican Party's defense line will collapse and the Democrats will recapture congressional power will be ultimately decided in the main voting starting from the evening of today, the 3rd, Korea time.
