As vote counts start to roll in, campaign watch parties will look a little different this year thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
But one thing that won't be different is that both candidates – President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden – will be anxiously awaiting the results.
President Trump is watching results at the White House.
Four hundred of Trump's supporters are watching returns on Fox News on a big screen in the East Room of the White House. Attendance included Attorney General Bill Barr, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, HUD Secretary Ben Carson, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, among others. Trump so far has not made a showing to the East Room.
According to two sources in the room, rounds of cheers broke out when Fox called Florida for the president and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., winning his Senate race.
Other campaign officials planned to watch together from a “war room” the campaign has cobbled together inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, down the street from the White House.
However, the campaign headquarters has just been moved to an undisclosed location, citing security concerns.
Washington, D.C., is bracing for protests and potential civil unrest following election results, with a beefed-up police and Secret Service presence outside the White House.
Many D.C. businesses are boarded up with plywood to protect from potential looting and violence.
TRUMP ADDRESSES CAMPAIGN TEAM AFTER 14 RALLIES IN 72 HOURS, PREDICTS VICTORY
Though the EEOB is a taxpayer-funded building, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh brushed off concerns of the use of government property for political purposes.
“The war room needed to be in close proximity to the president and there is no expense whatsoever to American taxpayers for the use of a room in the EEOB, where events like prayer services and receptions for outside groups frequently occur,” he told Fox News in a statement. “Every piece of equipment, including WiFi and computers, was paid for by the campaign, and no White House staff is involved. The arrangement has been approved by White House counsel.”

Earlier in the day, President Trump visited the Republican National Committee headquarters in Arlington, Va., to thank his staff before heading back to the White House.
“I’m not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet,” Trump said. “Hopefully we’ll be only doing one of those two. You know, winning is easy. Losing is never easy, not for me it’s not.”
After getting home at 3 a.m. from a marathon five rallies yesterday, the president was late calling into “Fox & Friends” this morning, his voice hoarse from the hours of rallying.

Biden will watch election returns from his home in Wilmington, Del., surrounded by family. Biden opened his day by attending Mass at St. Joseph’s in Wilmington with his wife, before visiting his son Beau’s grave. He made two stops in Pennsylvania – one in Scranton at his childhood home and one in Philadelphia – before returning to Delaware.

Back in Wilmington, Biden said he isn’t sure whether he’ll deliver remarks tonight. “If there’s something to talk about tonight, I’ll talk about it. If not, I’ll wait till the votes are counted the next day.”
