Donald Trump will prematurely declare himself the victor of the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday night if it appears he is 'ahead' of Joe Biden, even if a ton of Electoral College votes are still unknown.

The president has privately discussed in detail potential November 3 scenarios, three people familiar with his private comments told Axios in a report released Sunday – including walking up to the podium on Tuesday and declaring he has won before official results are revealed.
