2:00 am
seems that part of the answer to understand how it affects the nights which still remain before we can truly say that we are in say, tax rank, counting the cost on o g, a 0 the are ready to get out. the ball were ready to weigh less than 24 hours to go democratic presidential candidate cabinet harris makes his final page to us voters in the battleground state of pennsylvania. the so i'm fairly becky boy, you're watching l. g 0 life from doha. also coming up star, so this it we've, if we get everybody else and vote, there's another thing they can do. republican candidate,
2:01 am
donald trump towel supporters is confident until when, as a criss crosses swing states. also this i'll at least 15 policy means a category is really a tax in northern guys with survivors rush to badly functioning hospitals on this each arm. sonya guy, ego in chief outside of valencia, where the town is recovering from the often mouth of disaster. with resilience, the in less than 24 hours voting will be well under way in a u. s. presidential election that's become one of the closest contests in american history. ebony and both continue to show it's too close to call and their last day to appeal to get out the vote. republican candidate, donald trump, and democratic contender come to how is campaigning across swing stays that could hold the keys to the white house? donald trump has already held to raleigh's one in north carolina and the 2nd in
2:02 am
pennsylvania. to maintain a tradition by wrapping up later in grand rapids, michigan, which was his final stop in 20162020 trump has just been speaking reading pennsylvania to make another speech in pittsburgh, pennsylvania show, which is one day away for what will be the most important book medical event in the history of our country. but you have to get out. we have to vote to show up as vote . i loved it really, what we should do is swamp of just swamp on to my counter harris is also expected to visit reading. she'll shortly be holding a riley in nearby allentown. paris is focusing entirely on pennsylvania. today. shall hold her final body in philadelphia and all that talked it's been about trying to have as point fingers at each other and divide each other. it makes people feel alone. it makes us feel like there's nobody standing with them. and so
2:03 am
the way i've always been thinking about our campaign and these next 24 hours is as we are getting out the vote, as we are kansas name. let's be intentional about building community, about building community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have. so much more in common than what separates us. there is power in that there was power in well, in a moment we'll hear from john henderson in atlanta, georgia, and kimberly hawk it in philadelphia. but for us we go live to adam fisher, who's in pittsburgh, pennsylvania allen. it's often said that the vote of the white house goes to pennsylvania, and that goes a long way to explaining why both harrison trump are there. on this last day of campaign or the exactly, if you take a look at the 7 swing states, the crown jewel, and that is undoubtedly pennsylvania. it is 19 electoral college votes. that is why
2:04 am
both campaigns spend a lot of time, a lot of money. and why on the final full day of campaigning, you are seeing both donald trump and come to high sierra. and in fact, donald trump here in pittsburgh in the next hour or so. that's important for him. he thinks the pittsburgh could well be the key to winning the state. and why is that will pittsburgh used to be solidly democratic, a blue tyrant as it was known? but as the steel industry and manufacturing lead to way as the union started to lose the influence and power, then people started to look till tentative. and donald trump's populace message certainly resonated in 2016 and we know it resonated in 202020. because in alleghany county, where we are in pittsburgh, that was be any award for republicans, got most votes in, in the whole the pennsylvania. so donald trump is hoping that by being here, it's going to repeat the success of 2016. and he believes the success of 2020,
2:05 am
even though we know he didn't win the election, then that he's be added question to a puerto rican voters and puerto rican, both of us have be moving away from donald trump in the last week. and the reason for that of course, was the racist joke that was told at the trump campaign event in madison square garden. that snow still not just anecdotal evidence. there is a pool adjusted in the last couple of hours. the say 69 percent of those from puerto rico, and remember it's the 3rd largest community away from puerto rico lives in pennsylvania. they thought the joke was races, and many of them who when going to forward or were self thomas or self. trump, voters, i'm not voting for how this i didn't this state. that's bad news for donald trump. and so what are the issues and in pennsylvania for voters? what stop with their mind? you looked at the things that people have been talking about for a couple of years. you can talk about macroeconomics. i, the number of jobless is down to record levels. have an inflation is coming down
2:06 am
how the g t p is bigger than it was a couple of years ago. have manufacturing jobs are coming back. they don't care, because every time they go to the supermarket to buy their weekly shop, it's more expensive. they look at what they were paying for years ago and they knew they're paying more when they go to fill up the car with petrol, with gas, they're paying more. and therefore donald trump line, which is stolen from ronald reagan in the 1980s. are you better off than you where 4 years ago resonates with voters big time or big leak as donald trump used to say . and then of course, that is the question of the open board to the people's perception is that many criminals are coming across the board to the fact. see, that's not the case and you're less likely to commit crime. if you're a non documented migrant, then you are, if you're an ordinary american citizen, it doesn't matter and he's been able to play on that perception and tried to use that to his advantage. but he's looking at polls as well that have come out in the last couple of days. it was the suggest. the women voters are breaking largely for
2:07 am
a couple of hours and they're breaking a large numbers. that's a big problem for the trump campaign. he's saying get out and pull the news. he's got to get his core to get out his core support to get out and vote. otherwise, the route to the white house will not go through pennsylvania. in fact, for donald trump, it will end in florida on tuesday night. thank you very much. allan fisher live the in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. let's be in pennsylvania and head over to philadelphia, the biggest city in pennsylvania. kimberly how good is the with the harris campaign? 4 stops in pennsylvania today for harris. kimberly, why is it so important for yeah, well, pennsylvania is called the keystone state because of its central role that played in the formation of the united states since it's also now the keystone stayed in this election and given the importance it's playing in 2024 i, as you mentioned for stocks for comma le harris, because this is such
2:08 am
a critical battle ground state. she is concentrating all her energies in this final campaign stop. it will be in philadelphia. so make her final speech just one hour before election day. and i can tell you that this is a unique state, a minute to blend of cities as well as world voters. so this is why it is so competitive for not only cobbler, but also for donald trump. now, as we've been talking, it's really been a dead heat all the way along in this state for the 2 candidates. and so this is something that com la is going to be making a real competitive speech. it's going to be a very up lifting speech. we're told, but also she's getting some encouraging numbers, but it may, it is competitive here, this state. but nationally, we are now learning from the campaign. but in fact, is the latest polls are showing that she is edging ahead and the numbers are indicating that it is outside the margin of error, which has
2:09 am
a positive and encouraging sign. still, she says, she's not taking anything for granted according to the campaign. so what can we expect then tonight as she closes her campaign, what told? well, she's try to think at the tone we are expecting is one that is very positive and up lifting of the last few days have been very much i in terms of the tone, have been an attack on her arrival, republican candidate, donald trump, but we are told there's going to be no mention of her republican rival in this final speech here in philadelphia, in fact is going to be a noticeable absence. instead, the speech for told is going to be up lifting. it's going to be positive and she's going to get some help from her famous brands. we're told that they're going to be appearances by oprah. there is also going to be late in da da as well as ricky martin. so there's also we should point out behind to be very iconic backdrop that has been deliberately chosen. our movie goers film box will recognize that it's the
2:10 am
iconic rocky steps from the 1976 film rocky, sylvester still and trained for his fight against the heavyweight champion. this has been deliberately chosen for the fact that don donald trump a heavy weight and the political world campbell are taking on, on election day, taking on a similar fight and ready to do battle on election day. so this is where she is closing this out. and making her final speech. thank you very much. kimberly how could live there in philadelphia and staying in pennsylvania, a state of georgia. it has given the green light to take billing at 11 mosques, 1000000 dollar election give away mosque has been on a drive to register voters in key battleground states by offering prize money. but a district attorney has challenge mosque and course saying the payoffs amounted to any legal lottery with unfair rules. this game is already hand about $16000000.00 now to the swing state of georgia and the american south. john hendern is the
2:11 am
forest. joining us live from atlanta, so john, georgia is seen as a must win states for trump. not necessarily. so for harris, finding one there by a tiny margin of nearly 12000 volts in 2020. just lay out the importance of the state for us 1st. that's right, georgia has traditionally been just a bit. republicans have relied on to win the presidency in recent years, but it's been increasingly shifting toward democrats as because the population growth has been all around the atlanta area. and that is a strong democrat, strong hold. so which happened in recent years is that you just seen that republican margin dwindle. when trump won this state in 2016, he won the national election when he lost it to joe biden. in 2020, he lost that election. so it's, it's one of those sunbelt state which trump is really counting on. it's also
2:12 am
important to know that this is the epicenter of the effort in 2020, to overturn this election. that is what trump is accused of in a court case here in fulton county. he and several co conspirators are facing charges in that case, and they're hoping to out, right when it this time and come to le harris's hoping to be the 2nd democrat this century to in this day. now you're in atlanta, john, what have people been telling you there about what's important to them at the bottom box tomorrow? that's right, we're not only in atlanta, we're it a, it, a group of historically black colleges and universities where we've been talking to students and many of them in the express concern about the us role in these really were and guys, among other things we talked to a couple of students from morehouse college and this is some of what they had to say. the what's on my mind is, is really how we as america, and as you know, the so called land of milk and honey,
2:13 am
in this election in 2024 and going forward after once has decided, what are we, what's going to be our footprint on the globe, are we going to continue to play colonial and imperial and, you know, you know, settler cards or are we going to maybe, you know, try and achieve and try and harking back to the, the values and the morals that originally were intended for this country. but that we seem to stray so far away from it that's on a global and a domestic level as well. georgia is also significant because in 2020 this was the last state to report its votes. it took over 2 weeks for all of the votes in georgia to be counted and finally reported in this year. the laws have changed so that those numbers are required to be reported earlier. so an hour after the post clothes, the absentee ballots have to be reported, and the other votes should have been cast before the election day. all have to be
2:14 am
counted and then the election votes are counted. the election day votes are counted . so they're hoping to have the results by the end of the night might take a little longer than that. but when it's all over, suffice it to say that if cumberland harris has won the state of georgia, she's probably having a good night and of donald trump has lost it. he's probably having a bad night. all right, thank you very much for that. john henry, my 1st day in atlanta, georgia. well that's, i'll bring in, steve, come in. so there's a host of options here is weekly show, the bottom line is joining us from washington. d. c. c, a good to have you with us. what are you looking at most closely on this final day of campaigning and on the early hours of voting, tomorrow's the well, i'm waiting to see, you know, as they make their closing case and these final rallies, what they're playing to, i mean i, you see comma harris, you know, saying that com will attend, has a big 10. she's, you know, communicating confidence. and basically
2:15 am
a kind of balancing smoothness is a lot of people don't know or they don't know her policy prescriptions. well, so they're looking for her vibe. and i wanna know whether that vibe is contagious or not. donald trump is one of the most well known politicians in america, in the world of. and i'm interested in whether this model of pug nation is wrong. nationalism is something is really gonna hold past the country as we go in tomorrow and is going to continue to entice others there. you have to, i think one of the things we've been forgetting is, is enormous amount of support. and there are a lot of americans who just see him as the future. they're angry at the deal that they've been treated in the past by the government. so it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, cuz he's making no attempt. i can see to reach the centrist, independent middle of the road voter. right. so we got to see which equation works, right? the democrat, steve has been ramping up the ground game in the final weeks of the campaign as
2:16 am
we've been seeing harris chris across the country. do you think she's successfully distance herself from, from the challenges of the bad news as well? i think that's a really, really important question. my sense is on the whole, yes. but on the top of that, you have a mixed picture with joe biden. the stock market is sky high, unemployment is really low, and inflation is declining. interest rates are declining. a lot of americans actually think that's a good economic picture, but there is this anxiety out there that will other americans pin on joe biden and, and because she was in the administration also and calmly harris and, and they hear about the opportunity economy that she talks a lot about, but she's been relatively short on details on what that actually means. so to some degree, the blandness that a lot of americans feel about the,
2:17 am
what i think would be an economic success story provide. but it just sounds bland to people. is something that she's still stuck with, and i don't think she's really differentiated herself as much as she might have. now. coming back to trump, we have heard and seen it would seem a few red flags from trump in these last days of campaigning. and it's causing messages, he seems to be laying the groundwork for if he were not to win the election. just how concerning is that to you? that is again questioning the lexical process, how to melchor's could it'll become if the election is so close. he thinks i could be, i think it could be enormously convulsive in the country. i think if i come away, harris were to win and pull this out. i, i worry that we will have not only strife here in washington as we looked at barricades go up and around the white house that we see. but in capitals, in many of these battleground states,
2:18 am
around the united states. and so you have violence as part of it, and i tell everyone, you know, this election tomorrow is the beginning of another set of challenges. and it's like getting into another level in a video game, but at least you're getting into another level. and the election is happening, we don't know if this will happen. but i talked to a very prominent writer today. and she said she could see a com light harris lance live. right. she could see a donald trump landslide, or she could see this right down to the, to the, to the last vote in the smallest town of michigan or pennsylvania. but while the god ratios that were there in 2020 know with trump making all these claims already, what were the god rails that were there in the previous election? well, they hold you. thanks as well. i think they will. i think american institutions are generally very strong. a trunk brought lots of law suits against the outcome of the last election. he lost every single one of them in courts. what
2:19 am
we fail to do is understand is how that's not enough. you can communicate to people a very different story because they don't follow complex con court cases. so institutions large the did hold. but let me tell you what's different. donald trump thinks that by putting out signals that he may protest this race intimidate, or bully, certain people who may be fearful, a lot of people may not want to have that fight. secondly, the courts are more stacked, then they used to be with a lot of conservative justices who hopefully will be balanced and dispassionate in their judgments. but some simply are not. they are very much in his camp. we also have worries that have key a battles go all the way up to the supreme court. we have a super majority in the supreme court of 6 conservative justice versus 3 liberal or progressive justices. and so he could very well take things in
2:20 am
a direction that ran into that supreme court. and those are east cards. he thinks he holds. and we'll have to see how this plays out. steve, always good to, to get your thoughts on this. thank you so much. for joining us, steve clemens hosts of all just there's, we've been showing the bottom line now, comedians comment instead of trump riley in new york last week, referring to ford to rico as a floating island of garbage or offended many latinos, they are a crucial block in several battleground states, and if somebody goes to james base has been discussing the potential fall off of trump with guests in our washington studio. so let's, in these final moments of this campaign, discuss some of the things that we've heard in the program already. trump, what's the window, but latinos from what you're hearing is 8 looking particularly young man. well, the madison square garden rally is one of the greatest unforced errors in politics history. and what i mean by that is you had a lot of undecided latino voters of pennsylvania in nevada, in arizona. only
2:21 am
a couple of days ago, madison square raleigh happens. those undecided voters are undecided anymore. they are breaking for cobble errors because they're angry. they're angry at the comments that were made at madison square rally. and not only that, they're angry because donald trump has an apologize. he hasn't come out and said, no, this is not how i feel about and how do you be making progress before that? do you think a bait? i think you have been making progress with latino males. right. and what you're seeing here is given mickey jama, that i get on star, who endorsed donald trump for president, walked back his endorsement because of the agree, just insult to puerto ricans and latino is everywhere that happened in madison square garden. so you're seeing those voters who were thinking about who are dipping their toes in the water now saying, no, thank you. i cannot vote for this guy. and they're, they're coming back into a place like pennsylvania where there are 500000 let the, those voters, they're in a place where joe, by the way,
2:22 am
what about 80000 votes that could be the difference make or to win in pennsylvania . so john, he hasn't apologized from very, very rarely, if have apologizes but given what's at stake to should he of apology was fairly said, look, i don't know this committee i've never heard of this guy. i certainly would not have invited an insult committee and a given him a microphone at madison square garden. but then again, i wouldn't be calling donald trump a fascist, or haven't compared that rally to a nazi rally, or have counting the jo by they're referring to all trump supporters as garbage themselves. you know, christians, right? that's was, could end up making the difference on the margin. but i think the former president, trump is made great in rhodes with the latin, you know, with, with what he knows. that's clear from the poll numbers. and i'm not sure that a stupid comment by community is quite dead that making any difference at all. now, michael, the other thing that we heard was that news news from the philadelphia district attorney wanting to get some vote to intimidation, saying you'll use the full force of the law, your reaction to that?
2:23 am
well, i think of a commentary on our politics or this kind of warning has to be issue. the truth there is, there are groups in america who are using this as an opportunity to sorta put their own and perimeter on, on their selection. and some of that and perimeter includes motor intimidation, trying to make it more difficult for some people of which is problematic on a number of levels. so what the philadelphia district attorney is doing, and this may well be the start of other things that may happen around the country in this regard, puts us in a very tenuous place. and it also puts those who might want to engage in this kind of behavior. or notice there's still prosecuting people coming out of last year. i'm sorry, 2020 one's january 6. our interaction and we may see some more of that in the aftermath of tomorrow is that large nephew us face as closely associated with a single industry as michigan and automobiles. but auto jobs are inches dominated
2:24 am
in the state as a once we're both coming to harris and donald trump has been appealing to blue collar workers in the must win stage. i was just here, a series of bull has more from detroit, michigan, members of the united auto workers in detroit, taking part in the last, riley ahead of the president of elections. folks, cheese at teamsters says that democratic party stands with the working class. they have to strong with us and helping build back the automobile industry on other industries here on the side of the thank you all for the down, but me see then it's a swing states. the election is tied here and donald trump is gaining ground among disenchanted blue collar workers. how merlin harris's team is becoming increasingly concerned about her standing among men in blue? won't states like michigan. that's why they're appealing to labor union leaders to
2:25 am
help them mobilize the voters. michigan is known as the auto capital of the world. companies like food and general motors are located here. but industry jobs trunk by 35 percent in the past 3 decades. and also factories have relocated to countryside, mexico. it's, it's all set by low to get it f, as some of the jobs are slowly coming back as the state has started to diversify to other industries and started bringing a little by little started coming back. new jobs came up, the chips for and they're like it or somebody, conductor, ships that there's, that's a big, big job there. yes. and it's driving government to harry's has been promising more federal funds in the manufacturing industry. she also wants to help automakers transition to electric vehicles. donald trump says that transition will cost jobs and says he will impose terry it's unimportant vehicles
2:26 am
having a say economy say trump's policies won't work. and we know about services that they don't necessarily improve the trade deficit to see. so what they do is that they reduce trade. and so consumers will both, i think, see higher much higher prices, auto workers, iraqi voting bloc. and could be the difference between capital. harry's and donald trump getting the keys to the white house. very so we'll just see to detroit, michigan. now we've been talking a lot about swing states asked because the outcome of the race for the white house could come down to those 7 states. here's. i'll just hear a sales on a on america is unique electoral college system that determines the way it is the thing we are all focused on as the results come in the electoral college and each side's road to 270 the number of electoral votes needed to win the white house.
2:27 am
here's our starting point. 43 states and washington dc. you're either reliably read or reliably blue. that means complet harris can already count on 225 electoral votes and donald trump on 219. now it's not totally guaranteed, but it's pretty likely on both sides. the election will be decided, therefore, in these 7 swing states, which between them carry $93.00 electoral votes along with a one congressional district in nebraska. the yellow square here will come back to that later or harris's easiest past. the victory runs through the so called blue wall. that's wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania right here. turning these 3 states, red is what put donald trump in the white house 8 years ago, turning them back. the blue made joe biden presidents. but because electoral votes have been redistributed since the last election reflecting population shifts, those 3 states are no longer quite enough. winning them would put harris at
2:28 am
$26091.00 vote shy of victory. she would still need one more state to put her over the top. now trump's road to 70 starts with holding north carolina state one last time by just 1.3 points. if trump wins the blue wall and holes, north carolina, he's at $279.00. he wins, but louis north carolina, and he's at 263, still 7 boats. shorts. if he holds north carolina, trump could even lose the biggest swing state of pennsylvania and still make it to 270 by winning either arizona with 11 intellectual votes or georgia with 16 electro votes. he would need just one of those states, not both. let's go back now to that. earlier scenario harris holds the blue wall and trump takes the other 4 swing states. that's what it looks like. that would leave harris at $269.00 and trumpet to $68.00, which brings us back to nebraska. it is one of the just 2 states main being the
2:29 am
other that splits it's electro vote according to who wins each of the states congressional districts now stay with us and this one, since 1992 nebraska to as formerly known, has gone against the rest of the state twice, giving one electro vote to brock obama in 2000. and $81.00 to jo, buying in 2020 in this scenario is harris held onto that boat, which is basically the city of oma. she's president. but if trump wins it, then we're tied to $60000000.00 each. if that happens, it is the us house of representatives which chooses the next president with each state getting one vote. that is something that hasn't happened in nearly 200 years . saying i had no knowledge is here, i'll be taking a look at some of the days i've been use. and the 2nd day of showing by is really forces on a boost each hospital in northern guys. for here from staff caught up in the same
2:30 am
with the color we still have the prospect of most of the stalls across the u. s. you can see this line of cloud here just running up towards the lakes right across the plains. big temperature, contrast to some volts across the east. disable some record on some world for some i'm behind this surface cold front here. significantly. cool away. i take a look at 10 by 12 celsius here into the twenty's, the on the felt for dallas. uh, as we go on into the next couple of days is the big dropped. i want to highlight how strong to get to freezing in denver on wednesday afternoon. is to let rolled across the eastern half of the country still cooled enough as we go on into 1st i said with a big type of contrast like that.
