Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has predicted a “comfortable” victory for Donald Trump in this year’s US Presidential election, hailing his friend and ally as a “physical phenomenon”.
Farage flew out to the US to support Trump in his final rallies ahead of election day today, where the Republican candidate thanked his “friend” for being there in Pennsylvania.
Giving a special shout out to Farage, Trump declared: “He’s shaking it up out there. He was the big winner of the last election in the UK.
“He’s a little bit of a rebel but that’s good – don’t change.”

Speaking to GB News from Florida, the Clacton MP revealed that he has seen “a lot more Trump signs on lawns” in Pennsylvania, the key swing state in this election, and claimed that voters are “less afraid to show their support for Trump” in comparison to 2020.
Detailing the atmosphere in the US, Farage told GB News: “I went to a couple of polling stations at 7:00, on the outskirts of Scranton, which of course is where Joe Biden comes from.
“In Pennsylvania, absolutely the key swing state, one thing that was said to me by people was that there were a lot more Trump signs on lawns this time than in 2020 or 2016, which kind of means people are less afraid to show their support for Trump.
“I think with all the reports I’m getting at the moment of really big turnouts happening, especially in the rural parts of America, he’s going to win and win quite comfortably.”

When asked by GB News host Christopher Hope what he and Trump discussed at the rally, Farage stated that the former President is “feeling bullish” about the election.

Farage revealed: “We chatted about the polls, we chatted about the early voting, and about a third of the votes for the whole election were in by yesterday and had been counted or estimated already, believe it or not.
“For somebody of 78 years old, he’s been working at a pace that’s almost unbelievable. He just looked remarkably well. Very, very relaxed indeed. The guy is a physical phenomenon. He really is. And he’s feeling good, he’s feeling bullish – he believes he’s going to win.”
Quizzing the Reform leader on his comments about Trump needing to “go play golf” if he loses to Kamala Harris, Farage made clear that Trump will play golf “no matter the outcome”.
Farage told GB News: “I said if he loses decisively, he should go and play golf, and if he loses decisively he will play golf. He in fact voted here in Palm Beach about two hours ago, and he was very clear outside the station to the cameras that were there that if Kamala wins in a fair contest, he will accept it.

“But look, I don’t believe that’s going to happen. I think the betting markets are right and indeed the odds around Trump have tightened today – I think he’s going to win.”
Criticising Harris’s chances of a win over Trump, Farage added: “I just don’t see how Kamala wins from here, unless there is a massive turnout in all the big urban centres around America.
“All the indications from early voting show that Trump will win the number of votes he needs in the Electoral College.”
