<Anchor> The
US presidential election, which started yesterday (3rd) evening in our view, is now underway across the United States in the highest level of heat ever.
Yes, the voting is still going smoothly, so let’s connect Washington first.
Correspondent Yunsoo Kim, I see a lot of people behind you. How is the atmosphere around the White House?
<Reporter>
Yes, the place where I am out is Lafayette Square in front of the White House.
A few months ago, protests against racial discrimination took place, and citizens who have finished voting are gathering one after another.
At first, a meeting was scheduled for the night, but people are gathering ahead of schedule.
There are still many opponents of Trump who have led the protests against racial discrimination, but as time goes by, many of the Trump supporters are expected to come.
With growing concerns over the unrest, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Millie held a closed briefing and reaffirmed political neutrality, saying that there will be no military intervention in the election process.

Correspondent Kim, I'm most curious about when will the outcome of the game be known, but is it possible to predict?
<Reporter>
Under normal circumstances, it would be around midnight today, so it would be around this afternoon in Korean time.
By this time, the outline of the elected person will come out, but this is really difficult to predict in this presidential election.
If there are so many votes by mail, and if there is a crushing match in a major contender area, it can take quite a while for who won and this decision is made.
In the United States, voting times are different from state to state, so most of the votes close here at 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. Korean time.
It is known that the voting is proceeding smoothly so far.

President Trump is in the White House until the results come out?
<Reporter>
President Trump, who held 14 campaigns in three days just before the presidential election, has minimized the schedule today.
I'm staying here at the White House, and President Trump made an appearance on Fox News this morning and I feel very good, I think it will surpass the 306 electoral members we secured four years ago.
Regarding the reports that an early victory declaration can be made in a situation where the counting is not over, it will only happen when you actually win, and there is no reason to play around.
President Trump is set to stay at the White House all day and hold an election party with supporters in the evening.
