proposition 11 is a "vote to protect patient safety." it ensures the closest ambulance remains on-call during paid breaks "so that they can respond immediately when needed." vote yes on 11. good evening. there may be no election mor a y and a half from tonight. democrats president trump could be facing committees and subpoenas. he knows it as well. so he and president obama today, the biggest names of their respective parties are out on the trail, each in places where the big political brains believe they will have the most impact. women voters know the stakes, dissatisfaction with the president is driving some to the polls, especially in superb districts, young people appear to be turning out in early voting. they too know the stakes. so to trump supporters.

as for so-called never-trumpers, they seem energized. you would be hard pressed to see people who to me tuesday's vote won't matter. race and racially offensive language has factored into these last few days. also in georgia in the governor's race, a stunning last-minute legal move by the republican candidate who happens to be overseeing the elections is both a player and the referee. what he did in his official capacity has touched off a storm certainly among democrats. we have correspondents across the map tonight. we begin tonight in tennessee where president trump flew in today to stump for republicans. the president certainly pulling out all the stops in these final days before the midterms. >> reporter: there's no question, anderson. over the last few weeks -- excuse me. we've seen president trump criss-crossing the country as you well know. he's done six campaign rallies

since friday alone and he's got three more planned for tomorrow here in chattanooga he's planning a campaign for marcia blackburn. she's trying to capitalize on the president's popularity. she is trying to replace senator bob corker who is retiring. she's cast herself as being to the right of bob corker and she's trying to cast her opponent, former governor phil prettyson is field goal a far-left liberal, often comparing him clinton. brettson is trying to cast himself as a moderate, someone who's willing to work with president trump on key issues. he has one ad where he's talking about his support for the seamed. he also supported the confirms of justice brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. we should point out both of them are in a dead heat right now with blackburn maintain ing a small advantage, though, it is

well within the margin of error. >> borris, the president has a lot of very positive developments he can run on. good news on the economy, certainly low unemployment. his nominees for the supreme court both passing. but he's focusing really on border security and the caravan. >> reporter: there's no question he's going to continue focusing on that. two points on that. the president believes that that message works. it's the same one that he used when he desended on that elevate. he joked about exactly what you're talking about at a rally last night in pensacola, florida, that i attended dismissing criticism on television that he's too focused on immigration and not enough on a booming economy. representative marcia blackburn has a hard-line stance on immigration, so there's a good chance the president will talk about the caravan tonight, tong

portray immigrants as invaders, even if it could be deceiving and dangerous, anderson. >> borris sanchez reporting from the rally. thanks very much. president obama campaigned for joe donnelly today. he is in chicago tonight. so is our ryan young. the former president just finished speaking. talk about what he focused on. >> reporter: absolutely contrasting styles. looked like president obama came out ready for a fight. his voice sounded hoarse, sounding like the campaign trail is taking its toll. but he wanted to make sure people understood how important it was to vote. there was a concert that had the crowd lathered up. j.b. chris ker, who has the comfortable over here the incumbent ronner barely spoke on stage. when president obama got up there, he definitely talked about the idea that these votes will matter.

there's a great awakening that's happening in america. he said he never thought in a million years people would be running on health care and the fact that it's been changing, that the focus was making sure people with preexisting conditions had a chance to get the health care they needed. he talked about that. people started booing when he started talking about republicans, former president said, don't boo, vote. he made his conversation very different. there was a lot of hype in the crowd and people were interacting with the former president, seemed to energize him and get him going longer. he even stayed around to high five people in the crowd. so you can understand the pull, especially in chicago. one thing he did go back to is that after he was elected, a lot of people thought that was going to be the big change. he says, it may not happen overnight. you may vote today and something may not happen, but what could happen is health care is saved.

you may save a life someone gets job training programs and that might help them move forward. so people believe just like in a big basketball game they've brought in the closer into this area to make sure people put out the last bit of effort to go out and vote, anderson. >> it is extraordinary to hear a former president who was just the president out on the campaign trail. usually former presidents don't really do that, particularly in a midterm and particularly using the kind of energy and focus and some things president obama has been speaking about. it was a busy day for him, two rallies. do democrats -- clearly they believe he is the person who can get their candidates over the top or at least the best chance they have. >> reporter: absolutely. something that stood out to me, i wrote this down, i was surprised he talked about how republicans were talking about hillary's e-mails. he went after president trump for his cell phone and the fact that the chinese were listening. the crowd was energized that the

president trump was engaging with them. he talked about the tax cuts and how the wealthier are getting more money. he was focusing on making sure not only people hear go out and vote, but a broader spectrum and how close that senate race in indiana is. maybe not the apathy we see sometimes from people in terms of the last few days. >> brian young, we'll be playing you bits from former president obama and from president trump over the next two hours tonight. this is one of those nights when someone inevitably says you need a bigger boat as a result. joining us is david chalian, nia-malika henderson and david urban. how much impact do you think president trump, former president obama can have in these final days. >> at this point it's about motivation, getting out your

base, mobilization, not persuasion. they're not exactly traveling to places where they're not popular. you don't see donald trump in new jersey, for example, even b bedminster where his golf course is, and you're not going to see barack obama in montana. so at this point i believe that they're not going to persuade anybody, but it does remind people about the stakes of the election because you have these two presidents dueling at each other. i mean, tonight obama said no one was indicted in my administration and reminding people about preexisting conditions and makes the case very well for democrats. you have trump out there doing what donald trump does which is talk about immigration and the caravan, et cetera. so they're not convincing anybody, but it will motivate people. >> david, how much for president obama is this about his legacy and how much is just personal? >> i don't think that it's

personal. i think that this has been a big step for him because he's been trying to search for the way to be a former president in the trump era. and i think he's decided that this particular election is deeply important. i think it's less about legacy and more about deep concern about the direction of the country. there's no doubt that anybody with any sense would know the things the president has done to dismantle some things president obama worked hard on are irksome to him. but people have been urging him to come out for months and months and months, and i think he finally felt like he had an obligation to speak out. >> i want to play the bit gloria was talking about. let's watch. >> so now they've had two years of total control in washington. what have they done with that power? no, no, no, it's not true they

haven't done nothing. they've done something. they promised they were going to take on corruption in washington. instead, they've racked up enough indictments to field a football team. [ cheers and applause ] nobody in my administration got indicted. [ cheers and applause ] which, by the way, is not that high a bar. i mean, did she . >> but it is unusual to see a former president, the last president out on the campaign trail so aggressively like this. >> yeah. in some ways it's interesting to even see barack obama out on the campaign trail in a midterm year. he wasn't that present in r6201

or 2014. i was spooifd to see him in indiana in this red state. there's gary, there's an african-american community, but it's still a red state. so at his him out there, i was texting with democrats about it and they essentially say it's very close. they like the contrast that obama has with trump, obviously. his vision for america, very different. he pointed out this whole contrast what happened in his administration and what happened in trump's administration. so at this point -- for months it was the sense that they didn't want obama out there because he provided more heat than light, but at this point he provides more light and clarity in terms of this contrast and specific issues like health care. >> do you think republicans like seeing president obama out there because -- >> bill clinton, hillary clinton, some of the kennedy family, let's roll them all out. i was there the night before the

election in philadelphia with barack obama on the stage. didn't make much of a difference. the good news is that democrats feel a need to roll him out in a close state. i think it's good news for republicans that it's this close in will these senate races. >> van? >> i love seeing obama and i love seeing him let loose, but we don't talk enough about on the ground you have people doing extraordinary work. there's a group that has knocked on one million doors, center for community of change. a million doors in florida. the national domestic workers alliance has house keeps keeper knocking on doors in georgia.

you have a grassroots movement now. people have knocked the skin off their knuckles on those doors. if we get across the finish line, it will be in part because of the oprah and obama, but it's the people out there killing themselves. >> i saw ralph reed quoted in "the new york times" saying that he thinks democrats are going to be surprised in some house races, in particular with evangelical turnout and that's the discreet. to van's point, do you see that same kind of mobilization among republicans? >> i've been talking to several campaigns here in the last 24 hours, and they're telling me that the energy is very high. they also have people out knocking on doors and working very, very hard. i think the earlier report was correct, everybody is pretty amped up. the president gets people on both sides amped up. i'm not sure that barack obama really makes that much of a difference at this point in time. >> he does to me? >> to me too.

>> i love it. i love it. >> in the past it really hasn't worked. he haven't been effective in getting people out to vote when he's not on the ballot. maybe trump is the factor, but i will say about the indictment thing, from a lot of republicans you hear them say there are people that should have been indicted like hillary clinton and a bunch of other people. so he brings that up and he thinks that's a sell line to a lot of conservatives. heck, there should have been. >> anderson, for almost the whole campaign people on the right in particular have been saying the democrats have no message. the democratic message has been a bottom-up message. it's been a grassroots bottom-up. to van's point, the messaging on the ground has been things like in michigan, fix the damn roads , that kind of thing. but obama coming in at the end puts it all together, especially in contrast with donald trump by causing our hearts to soar, to remind us we are united as a

people. when he says it doesn't matter how you worship or what you look like, you are all part of the fabric of this great country. it's such a fierce contrast with donald trump that that's what i think the value is of his presence in the campaign. >> he makes the policy argument very well. not only that, on friday he talked about hope and change a little bit, which was fun to hear. but i think what he does do is remind people about the affordable care act and how many times republicans tried to repeal it and how the justice department is fighting against preexisting conditions. so he makes the policy cases very, very succinctly, i think. >> politically, what rick was saying about -- we do have an eight-year track record of obama and we saw his popularity didn't translate to the party all that well throughout the obama years both in the midterm elections but also at the state legislative level.

i think it's one of the big questions about president trump. we don't know the answer yet. this is his first test and we're going to see does president trump's popularity with his voters translate in a midterm election year when he's not actually on the ballot no matter how much he is embracing being out there and attaching himself to it. that's one of my big question marks. >> we got to take a quick break. we only have two hours, i know. >> i'm holding my thought. >> we're going to talk about a very interesting story that just popped up. georgia's top election official running in the election he's using. is he abusing the rules? we have breaking news on that and new reporting. andrew gillum, allegations that they were coded. a member of cabinet weighed in on what was said. so you can decide for yourself. we'll be right back. today, 97% of employers agree

we invite anyone from his campaign to come to the broadcast but they all declined. first, explain what's going on. i know stacy abrams has talk about this. what is she saying about it? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, anderson. earlier today the secretary of state's office announces they're launching an investigation into georgia's democratic party in response to what they described is a failed attempt to hack the voter registration system. they announced this investigation without giving us evidence as to why the georgia democratic party was part of this probe. the spokeswoman saying she couldn't comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation other than to say they learned of this attempted hack from their legal team. we have to delineate from the communications from the secretary of state's office as opposed to brian kemp's gubernatorial campaign communications. that campaign has been much more direct in tying democrats to

this hack saying, quote, democrats tried to expose vulnerabilities in the voter registration system. these are claims democrats say are 100% false, they say the claims are scurrilous. stacy abrams spoke to a couple hundred people in this community center. she didn't address the coarse in front of the crowd but we immediately spoke to her after her remarks. >> first of all, what's happened is brian kemp once again is trying to cover up for his failures in cybersecurity by blaming someone else. the first four times he blamed staff, vendors, and now he's blaming democrats. but the reality there were imperfections in their system. they were told about this friday. instead of owning up to the failure he decided to blame democrats. we have nothing to do with this and i'm sad instead of owning up to his responsibility that he's once again misleading georgia. >> reporter: throughout this

campaign there have been these repeated allegations of voter suppression. brian kemp in in his capacity of secretary of state. we ever heard the litigation. as the news comes out, we're also learning one of the organizations involved in litigation with brian kemp is claiming that the online voter registration database that updates the electronic polling lists, they're saying that that is system is open to manipulation. anderson, you see the pr machines on both sides spinning, trying to use this as an opportunity to appeal to their already polarized bases. but at the end of the day there is a question about the vulnerability of georgia's voting registration system. >> has mr. kemp made any comment directly about this? >> reporter: no, he hasn't. he didn't address it when he was on stage with president trump earlier today. like i said, you have to really separate the communications we're getting from his secretary of state office as opposed to his campaign. that campaign being more willing

to be aggressive in their rhetoric towards stacy abrams and the radical democrats as they call them, but we have not heard kemp address this situation directly himself. though his secretary of state office tells me they will be meeting with the fbi tomorrow to see how the investigation proceeds. >> kelly hartung, appreciate it. back with our political team. it's kind of a complex story, hard to figure out. david, how do you see it? >> look, this has been a controversy ongoing, the fact that the candidate for governor is also administering the system provision status of 50,000 or so voters 70% of whom are african-american. so the question comes up, how does he not recuse himself from overseeing an election in which he has such a stake, and by

throwing this into the medal in the last 48 hours, i wonder how many voters will process it and whether they feel like this is a last-minute dirty trick that underscores something untoward about -- >> or doesnmobilize republicans >> but you have to produce evidence of that. there's some republicans who will believe it, but i think the lack of evidence -- this thing will be decided in the suburbs of atlanta where there are voters who are more discerning about these things. they're going to find it strange that this should come out the way it came out without evidence, without spokespeople stepping forward, without any real backup for a fairly serious charge. >> anderson, he plasters this on his website.

kemp was sued earlier this year by people saying georgia's voting system is vulnerable, and it's subject to hacking. he doesn't have any paper trail. the department of homeland security offered to help to secure the system, and he rejected that help. the judge in the case he was sued in, back in december, cast gated him for this completely vulnerable system. so now on the last minute to could you see democrats of his own failure, it is astonishing. this man is playing on the field and he wrote the rules, and he's the ref. it is outrageous. >> and no evidence. >> and there's no evidence. >> i think it is important that if they're going to make the claim, the reporter said the secretary of state's office is not making that claim, it's the campaign. if the campaign is going to make that claim, they're going to have to come up with evidence between now and sometime tomorrow. they're going to have to show evidence as to where the

democrats were complicit with this. i don't think they can get away with blaming democrats and hoping everybody believes it. >> i think the bigger issue here is that across the country there's a sense that between the gerrymandering and voter suppression that the republican party is hostile to a fair vote. and this is the most -- >> flag on the play. >> wait. you disagree that republicans -- >> i think there is a fear that the republicans are hostile to a fair vote here. kemp is just the worst example. that you have kemp who has a history of being hostile, has been sued many times, and i think we have to be careful here because when you are in a situation like kemp is where you are the arrest and you're the player, and you're in a squeaker, if he wins and people doubt his legitimacy, that's bad for everybody. and i think the republican party had a huge opportunity.

the republicans don't get enough credit. they actually voted for the voting rights act to be passed, and then the supreme court struck it down. and then they have not come back to fix it. now the republican party who vote for the voting rights act to be passed, having failed now for years to restore it, you're all vulnerable to the idea that dwro you don't care about a fair vote and you have to deal with it. >> i'm not going to speak to georgia specifically, but in pennsylvania the pennsylvania supreme court drew a map that by all accounts, by the political report said was drawn to favor democrats which will result in the flip of six seats. so in terms of fairness, the republicans looking for fairness, what's fair in one state may not be fair in another. >> pick another. >> we have about 26. >> but legislators are controlled by republicans.

anytime either party has control, they're going to draw lines. >> it's not just gerrymandering. >> this issue with kemp is different. the most compelling point is this is a razor-thin election and the notion that one of the participants is the guy who's going to add minimminister the election -- i agree, it's dangerous and irresponsible. >> we're going to talk about more about this. much more ahead including what agricultural secretary said about ron desantis. it's been making headlines. purdue used the words cotton picking. a lot more in the news ahead. did you get a whole thanksgiving?

well you remember what happened last year. you can't bring a backup thanksgiving to my sister's house. it's not like we're going to walk in with it. we'll bring it in as we need it. ...phase it in. phase it in? yeah, phase it in. discover.o. phase it in? i like your card, but i'm absolutely not paying an annual fee. discover has no annual fees. really? yeah. we just don't believe in them. oh nice. you would not believe how long i've been rehearsing that. no annual fee on any card. only from discover.

florida's first african-american gubernatorial. sonny perdue made a comment, we'll let you interpret it. here's how a former governor of georgia described the stakes. >> public policy matters. leadership matters. and that's why this election is so cotton-pickin' important for the state of florida. i hope you all don't mess it up. >> gillum with his asked if he had any reaction to perdue's choice of words. >> no, he should go back to georgia. we'll take care of florida. listen, we're trying our very best to end this race on a high note. as i have said throughout the campaign, we're working to give voters something they can vote for and not just against. >> back with our political team. van, how do you see this? >> listen, it's an archaic expression, but as a southerner, i hear that sometimes thrown

around. so i'm trying not to go directly to the worst possible thing. i think it's an unfortunate choice of words but i don't think it was an intentional dog whistle. >> i agree. i may have used that phrase before. i'm from a small down in south carolina, so i didn't necessarily -- it didn't land wrong for me. i think it's odd that sonny perdue who's a former georgia governor is in florida. it's sort of weird. i think it speaks to the fact that ron desantis has had trouble attracting crowds. gillum has been much better about that. but i do think this race has been imbued with racial dog whistling that started with ron desantis, he said at some point don't elect andrew gillum, we don't want to monkey this up, and then you had the president calling gillum a thief. i think we're sort of sensitive to that in this race, but i think this particular instance of using the word

cotton-picking, it didn't strike me as a racial dog whistle. >> gillum's response was different than when his opponent said monkeyed up. he went really hard back at desantis and called him out for the dog whistling, the foghorn that he says more than a dog whistle that it's so loud. here, two days out, i think it tells us everything. >> exactly. >> that he did not want to make this about race at the end because he is not just courting a base in florida, a very purple state. he is also courting -- he wants to make sure some white voters who may not be comfortable picking him to go ahead and pick him heading to the ballot box. that was a telling moment where that race is. >> this is not a place for him to stir the pot at all. he wants those suburban voters, so he's made his point about race.

that's done. and i think it was clever. >> i saw it a little bit differently. he said, it's about race, but we're not going there. it was a very deaf move on his part because he basically confirmed that, yeah, i see this as an insult, i see this as another dog whistle, but i'm going to end this on a high note. so i somewhat disagree with you because he did call him out but he did in a way -- i'm drawing the contrast because he's called out desantis. >> it's not like he -- he didn't do a damn thing. he took it but he took a different approach. >> but he took a different approach in how to handle it. >> i actually -- that was my first thought, was republicans and democrats, if you speak to them privately right now thinks he has an edge in that race. i think he thinks he has an edge in that race and he's trying to land the plane here.

and i thought he was deaf. i thought he handled it pretty well. >> how close do you think the race is? >> down there? you know, it's close. if he wins, it's going to be by two points, three points, but he's been consistently ahead in the polls down there. we all do talk to people on both sides. there's not a lot of optimism on the republican side, and there's guarded optimism on the democratic side. >> there's the sense that desantis wasn't a good candidate. >> this race is so important because it's a hand-picked trump person versus a very different vision of what a democrat can do. this is a democrat who is willing to be progressive, willing to be bold. he's deaf but willing to be progressive. for democrats this works fight inside our party about do you go

to the moderate middle or do you run on your progressive ideals, if gillum wins, it's not just important for florida, it's important for the democratic party. a bunch of puerto ricans who had to leave their island because of maria are in maria right now. they are american citizens who can vote. >> we're going to talk about florida. we have a group of women who identify as independents. we'll be right back. endless shrimp is on at red lobster. for just fifteen ninety-nine you get all the shrimp you want, any way you want them. and now savory parmesan shrimp scampi is back!

the latest polling says florida voters are split on the senate and gubernatorial voices. to vote in the primaries in florida you have to register with the party. in this case, one has registered as a democrat, two are registered republicans, three others did not vote in the primaries of of those three, one leans democratic but they all call themselves independents. fall transparen

fall transparency. >> how many of you have made up your mind about who you're voting for? of these six voters who identify as independent, five know how they're going to vote. >> i think it needs to flip. >> reporter: sally clark fox says she's voting democrat. nicole is still undecided but leaning toward democrat andrew gillum. >> you like gillum and you're registered as republican for voting in the primaries? >> yeah. >> so you're leaning democrat on the governor's race. >> that's probably the only one. >> reporter: the key issues are immigration, security, the environment, and the economy. erica deangelo is voting republican. >> thousand economy is doing affects me personally. >> reporter: when you hear more people are working, unemployment is way down at a 50-year low,

these endless scare tactics about immigration and the caravan. will that sway your vote? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. i think the whole caravan thing is ridiculous. >> it's not an invasion. >> i'm ready for change quite frankly. >> reporter: so you're saying donald trump's scare tactics on immigration will make you not vote republican? >> that's correct. >> reporter: but not everyone is letting the president's language influence their vote. this independent o who didn't register to vote in the primary has decided to vote the republican ticket. >> the rhetoric about the caravan, will that change your vote? >> no. i've done all my research at this point and i understand what's important to me as a voter. >> fear is a very easy motivator to move people in one correction or another. >> reporter: has donald trump's behavior influenced your vote one way or the other? >> yeah, it definitely has confirmed that i'm making the right decision to not vote in that direction. >> reporter: not to vote republican? >> right >> reporter: is the

language a turnoff to independent voters? >> i don't know if -- i think it's scary 3,000 people we don't know are trying to get into our borders, so i absolutely support a military going down to the border. >> reporter: most in this group were disgusted by trump's remarks following the pipe bomb scare, and fatal shooting at the pittsburgh synagogue, suggesting both had slowed down republicans' tremendous momentum. >> it's a little careless this far into the season. >> for someone to say something like that in such a tragically and sad moment is careless. >> it doesn't change my vote, but i think sometimes people get too hung up on the way trump delivers his message instead of what he's actually trying to say. >> it was disappointing that that was the reaction. >> reporter: >> that doesn't change your vote? that doesn't weigh into your vote what he's been saying? >> no, it doesn't weigh on my vote. >> reporter: six independent voters and five have their minds made up.

not to vote in that direction. >> not to vote republican? >> right. >> back now with our panel. how important do you think -- i mean, the president -- there's a lot of great news for the president to be trumpeting, no pun intended, the economy, incredibly low unemployment numbers, record low unemployment numbers, supreme court nominations or picks. his focus on the caravan, it's obviously not by accident. >> no, and, look, i mean, i think whatever you think about the caravan issue and so on, and i have my feelings about it, the fact is that republican enthusiasm has grown during this period. the question i have is in the last week, after the tragedies, it felt like the president kind of took it from a 10 to an 11 to try and regenerate republican enthusiasm, and i think this was an interesting group. >> yeah. >> because i wonder how there is a small group of independent voters who are going to make a

difference in some of these races, many of them in suburban areas, some of them much like those women who were there. donald trump carried florida, carried independents in florida in winning that state narrowly. the gillum is winning independents right now. also narrowly. i think that in florida and elsewhere the final closing push of donald trump may go too far an push some people in close races in the wrong direction from his standpoint, people who would probably have responded to the economic argument if he had closed with it. >> you're shaking your -- >> there is a lot of concern among republicans, especially those working on house races, that just wish -- they don't think -- to david's point. they think immigration does help bring some republican enthusiasm. we've seen it in the polls that it rises among republicans as a top issue when donald trump puts it front and center, but these republican strategists are saying why can't the economy be

an equal part of the argument? why can't the accomplishments on the court be an equal part of the company. >> he said it was boring and then he proposed a 10% tax cut and said never mind. that will only happen if republicans win. these are women. the president has a big gender problem and education number. i was looking at one number that startled me. 60% of college educated white women now favor democrats by 33 points. >> yeah. >> so you have a focus group here of women who are saying, you know, i don't -- the caravan thing, you're not going to scare me on that, and i think that may have repercussions in a lot of other races. they would rather have him talking about healthcare i believe. >> i think this was a smart group of women. i think that women though in general, there was a poll that was done last week, which said that 80% of americans view the

divisive rhetoric as being -- as a huge negative and generating more danger to them so the issue about safety, especially in a state like florida where they had, i don't know if she did this focus group today, but, you know, they just had somebody who was an extremist go to a yoga studio and shoot people so people in florida, perhaps almost more than any other states, has seen gun violence and has seen extremist violence, and i think that that language with independents and with women. >> one person's scare tactics is another person's valid warning. >> i know you want to go over here, but when -- when this happened in virginia in the last mid-term election and ed gillespie raised all this fearsome language about the other, it was -- it was -- he lost. >> sorry to ent rip t-- to inte

you, jennifer, i've got to pick you on something. >> you said these smart women because if you have a college education you're smart and if you don't you're not smart. >> that's what gloria was talking about. college educated women. >> i don't know if they did. >> they sounded like they knew what they were watching. >> i thought you were responding to gloria's comment. the contrasting in that same survey is that 41%, i believe it is, of males. >> white men. >> of white men who are high school educated are favoring republicans, and so, you know, it's -- it is very divided, and there's -- it has nothing to do with being smart. >> we'll check in on john king's for the very latest trends and outlooks and return to our political analysts and experts, all ahead.
