I never voted for #POTUS before. I humbly voted for the first time for @realDonaldTrump to stop the spread of socialism. To keep our taxes down. To bring back our troops. To bring back our jobs. To keep gas prices down. To protect our freedom #thereelection pic.twitter.com/kbRbUeaksH

Jorge Masvidal lays it out for Donald Trump
Steven Crowder has been on top of the election-day coverage and was sure to ask Jorge his views on the closely contested polls. 305’s very own in Masvidal shared some insight into the situation at the polls in Miami, Florida.
“I thought we’d turn it a little harder. Think we did good. I was talking a lot to the people who did the internal polls in Miami, and they were ready to lose Miami a lot more than they ended up losing by. I think with Hillary they lost by 300,000.”
Additionally, Jorge Masvidal also reaffirmed his belief that Trump would come out victorious despite the nail-biting odds. ‘Gamebred’ dropped in his prediction for the mid-western states that he believes are going to make the difference this election.
