Despite trailing his rival Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is multiple key states, President Donald Trump showed confidence in his impending victory by inviting voters to join the election night party at his favorite hotel in Washington, D.C. Still, there is a slight change in the plan. The president said he would consider relocating the event to the White House or another venue if the coronavirus restrictions in the nation's capital restrict him from hosting the party at his Pennsylvania Avenue hotel.

The United States has seen a sudden surge in coronavirus cases, bringing the tally to an alarming 9 million. On Thursday, the nation recorded 91,000 cases and more than 94,000 cases on Friday. That same day, Trump indicated that he would move his election night party to the White House.

In an interview outside the White House, Trump said they had not decided, adding that they have specific rules and regulations. The president went on to say that Washington, D.C. is locked down, where they have a hotel but aren't sure if they will be allowed to use it or not.

Noting that the mayor has shut down Washington, D.C., Trump said he might have to host the White House event or pick another location, WUSA9 reported. Earlier this week, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's office sent a notice to Trump International Hotel operators, reminding them of the city's coronavirus rules.

These guidelines restrict gatherings of over 50 people and instruct that commercial venues, including restaurants and hotels, operate at 50 percent or less in terms of capacity. The Trump campaign sent out emails in the president's name, giving donors an unmissable opportunity to join Team Trump at the Election Night Party in his favorite hotel in Washington, the Associated Press reported.

Aside from that, the campaign has hinted at plans for the party in fundraising blasts from Donald Trump Jr. In 2016, Trump held his election party in New York, his former hometown. He held his victory party at the Hilton in Midtown Manhattan because his own Trump International Hotel & Tower rooms weren't big enough.

The latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey suggests Biden is leading Trump at 54 - 46 percent. A considerable 57 percent of independents are supporting the former vice president, according to the survey. Another recently released Hill-Harris poll shows Biden leading the president by 3 percentage points in the swing state of Florida.
