Nigel Farage is anticipating an extremely tight US election as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump prepare to lock horns in November.
The vote, which will take place on November 5, has increasingly become too close to call with polls toing and froing between the candidates.
Asked on GB News whether Donald Trump is “toast”, Nigel said he is still confident the former US president can return to power.
“I will be there on the night of November 5”, he said.
“I’ve become an MP, so my priorities have shifted for obvious reasons. I have a constituency to represent in Clacton and that is now my priority.
“I spoke to Donald Trump about two weeks ago. However tough he may look in public, to have two assassination attempts in the space of a few weeks, it has to affect you.

“I still think he will win, but boy is it going to be tight.”
He added: “If he doesn’t win, I suspect that will be the end of Donald Trump in politics. He is nearly 80.”
Donald Trump spoke to GB News’s Political Editor Christopher Hope last week in New York, where he lavished the Reform UK leader with praise.
Branding him “fantastic”, Trump made the astonishing claim that Nigel was the real winner of the General Election.
While Reform performed well in the popular vote, accruing the third highest total, they were only able to translate it into five seats in the Commons.
Trump told The People’s Channel: “I think Nigel is great - I have known him for a long time.
"He had a great election too - picked up a lot of seats, more seats than he was allowed to have actually.
"They acknowledged that he won, but for some reason, you have a strange system over there... You might win them, but you don't get them! Nigel is a fantastic person."
Trump spoke about Nigel in the midst of an election campaign which has seen him trade blows with two Democrat presidential nominees after Joe Biden bowed out of the race in July.
After quitting the race, he quickly backed his vice president Kamala Harris to be Democratic nominee.
