Learn English as a Second Language before You Are Down to the Wire

Idiom for the Day

……down to the wire...……

If something goes down to the wire, it is settled at the latest possible time. The current election for the President seems to be going down to the wire so no one will know the name of the winner until late in the evening of election day. Example: When the race cars headed for the finish line, they were tied so the crowd knew it would be down to the wire.
