Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance voted in person at his polling place in Cincinnati.

The senator appeared in good spirits as he arrived at St. Anthony of Padua Church to vote with his wife, Usha, and their children.

After voting for the Trump-Vance ticket, Vance told reporters he was grateful to those who came to see “one of the great traditions of American democracy.”

“I feel good, you never know until you know, but I feel good about this race,” Vance said.

“I felt good about my own race a few years ago when I voted in the exact same place. I hope it goes as well for President Trump and me as it did for me a few years ago in the Ohio State.”

Vance acknowledged that in such a divided race, no matter who wins the election, at least half the country will be disappointed. But he added that if elected, he would still treat those who did not vote for his ticket as American citizens.

“I think my attitude is that the best way to bridge the divide in the country is to try to govern the country as best we can, to create as much prosperity as possible for the American people and to remind our fellow Americans that we’re all basically on the same team, no matter how you voted,” Vance said.

“I certainly hope you vote for Donald J. Trump today…but if you vote the wrong way, in my opinion, I’m still going to love you, I’m still going to treat you like a fellow citizen and if I have lucky enough to be your vice president, I will fight hard for your dreams and your family for the next four years.”
