Trump will spend Election Day on the phone

President Trump's Election Day agenda involves a lot of time on the phone, the White House said Tuesday.

"After 11 rallies in eight states and weeks of campaigning for Republican candidates, the president will spend today making phone calls, monitoring congressional, Senate, and gubernatorial races across the country, and meeting with his political team for real-time updates," Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced.

It's a fairly low-key plan for the man who on Monday declared he has personally made the midterms "like, the hottest thing." But he'll party later, Sanders added, as "this evening the president and first lady have invited family and friends to join them in the residence as they watch election returns."
