Stay tuned for a message from Facebook after the show.

Good Monday morning. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing.

Happy Election Week. And I'm Jake Sherman. Here's something you should remember going into

Election Day. Candidates do not get to decide that they won the election, just like football

coaches don't get to call the game at halftime and golfers don't get to call the match after one good hole.

But it's critically important to understand what President Donald Trump is going to do, and Axios'

Jonathan Swan took us inside his head Sunday night. He reported that Trump has told people he plans to

declare victory if he's ahead Tuesday. We spoke to a few people in Trump World on Sunday who said

they will

publicly try to make the point that states and localities should make a clear delineation

between the ballots that come in before election day and the ones that arrive afterwards.

This, of course, is silly in somewhat dangerous behavior and should be taken with a mountain

of salt if you want to pay attention to it at all. A smattering of states,

including the all-important Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan could be unresolved by Tuesday night.

Trump said Sunday that he will be going in with our lawyers as soon as the election is over.

Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania's AG tweeted this in response. Fact check. Our elections are over when all the votes are counted,

but if your lawyers want to try us, we'd be happy to defeat you in court one more time.

States run elections, not candidates or television networks. Remember that. Jason Miller,

Trump's spokesman, said this Sunday,

President Trump, will be ahead on election night,

probably getting 280 electoral, somewhere in that range,

and then they're going to try to steal it back after the election.
