Former President Barack Obama released a new video on Tuesday telling Americans that "this election is going to be close."
"In some states, just a handful of votes in every precinct could decide the winner. So, you need to get out there and vote," Obama said in an Election Day message posted on X.
"So tell your family, talk to your neighbors, make a plan -- go to the polls with your friends and vote. Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz," Obama added.
His remarks come after Michelle Obama warned Americans to "vote like your lives depend on it."
