good evening. we're one hour away from election day in an election the president says is all about him. and 7 out of 10 voters are voting that way. and barack obama calls it the most important election of our life times. tens of millions of americans have already voted early. the kinds of numbers you do not see for mid-terms. in fact, little of what we've seen so far has ever been seen before or said before. and president trump is campaigning like no president has as if he is indeed on the ballot. this is a ma'am where he has gone since labor day. 30 campaign stops including

three tonight. we'll be checking on it tonight in florida as well as texas with the latest stop in missouri where claire mccaskill is locked in a battle to keep her job. jeff is there for us now. what has the president's message been tonight in missouri? >> reporter: good evening. a bit of a pause at this campaign rally at the moment. there is someone at the beginning, at the front of the crowd who fell ill. so the president was standing silently on stage for the last several minutes. the crowd just was singing amazing grace here so we're not exactly sure what became of this trump supporter. but i can tell you this message that the president has been giving, he largely started off by talking about this being the final rally but really watching nostalgic about 2016, going again state by state by state. he clearly tonight is trying to perhaps soften his message a little bit in the final hours, at least so far.

and he also invited the top women of his administration, ivanka trump, kellyanne, that's the key purpose. the white house knows they need support of women voters. they believe they've been hemorrhaging women voters in some respects so that was the beginning. make no mistake, the president is here in missouri because he believes the senate race is one of the closest in the country. that's yes came back here tonight. >> and the president's closing message, i understand he didn't want to focus on the economy. >> right. the president in the last, in the last week, you'll remember, his campaign issued this very optimistic upbeat ad. like ronald reagan's morning in america ad. talking about how things have gotten better and will only keep getting better if you keep republicans in office. i am told the president hated that ad. he was not in that ad. so that's one of the reasons he changed to it immigration. delivering the immigration.

many people would say racist views on immigration, the ad last week. so the president is a bit of a split message. many republicans want him to talk about the economy. he has made it clear he wants to talk about immigration. so far that has not been a central message here. they want to close even slightly more positive. this has been a scorched earth campaign led entirely by the president. he thinks immigration worked for him in 2016 and he thinks it will now. republican voters believe this immigration message may have actually energized the points, not the supporters of trump. >> does president have anything on his schedule for tomorrow? >> anderson, on the president's official schedule, at least, there is nothing on it at all of he is not scheduled to get back to the white house until about 2:00 in the morning after this rally. so there is nothing on his schedule. be sure he will be on twitter. he may be doing radio interviews, other things.

he will stay engaged in these contests. he'll be watching these results. and regardless of the fact that he's not on the ballot, he will get the creditor blame. we do note tonight, the president, they are expecting to lose the house of representatives and expecting to keep the senate. we'll look for him to be involved in some way but nothing official. >> two tight races for senate and governors. very bitterly fought at the highest levels. president trump campaigning for desantis. former president obama for gillum. obama made a stop bearing doughnuts campaigning for jennifer wexton. today was apparently national doughnut day. nobody got me doughnuts. with that, or anybody here on this panel got doughnuts.

what is gillum's message now the night before the election? >> hi. the big message tonight is go vote. and you can hear this crowd is fired up. they are calling this the bring it home midnight rally. we are at florida a & m university. andrew gillum was a graduate of florida a & m and he has a star studded line-up trying to turn out the vote for him. the headliner is sean "diddy" combs. they're all trying to help andrew gillum become the next governor of the state of florida. and we talked to people who lined up for hours before they even opened the doors here. a lot of young voters. they all told us they already voted or they were definitely going to vote tomorrow. and he needs the young vote to turn out. here in the state of florida, more than 50% of registered

voters are of the generation x assess. the numbers show there's enthusiasm. i can tell you more than double the number of voters under the age of 30 voted early in this election, compared to 2014. the last mid-terms. but still, there are their numbers are dwarfed by the over 65 crowd who voted already. in fact we know they are the most reliable voters and they skew toward republican. i know this is a neck in neck race. every vote is going to count. you look at the latest polls cnn has. 49% gillum for his republican challenger, ron desantis, 48%. it could be a very, very tight race as we approach the election tomorrow. and these candidates are not taking anything for granted. i can tell you, ron desantis,

the republican challenger, was out today with marco rubio and president trump. president trump was here last weekend, this past weekend campaigning for him. and barack obama has been here on behalf andrew gillum. so this is a race for the country to watchful i just want to let you know, i spoke with the political science professor here in florida who said andrew gillum has larnlgdly followed the obama mod nell his campaigning, back to basics. grassroots strategy. go where the voters are. will it be enough? we'll know in about 24 hours from now. remember, this is a state that hasn't voted for a democrat for governor since 1994. anderson. >> thanks very much. generating more heat, no surprises, than trying to unseat ted cruz. ed lavandera is there. i wonder what the final stretch was for both campaigns.

>> reporter: well, both candidates really pushing home, beto o'roark landing in his home town, trying to strike an optimistic tone and he knows full well that all the money he has raised, all the energy, the coverage that he has amassed, if we to lose tomorrow, it is all for naught. so that's yes left here with this crowd saying to have a call to action. that's what his campaign will be measured by. for ted cruz, he spent the day campaigning in various stops around his home town of houston. the message very clear with him as well. he has been embracing this for several weeks. warning his supporters that the celeste angry. filled with rage toward president trump. that is a very dangerous thing. he starts hitting home on the themes, jobs, freedom and security. those are the themes he has hit

over and over again of this campaign. >> beto o'rourk has remained steady. for all the attention beto o'rourke has been getting, has he been turning any republican voters to his side? >> they believe it is a huge influx of younger voters and all the stars will have to align for the o'rourke campaign. at the end of the day, there are more republican voters in texas than there are democrats. so o'rourke has to focus on younger voters which he has done over the last few weeks hitting college campuses, no surprise that he ended his last rally at the university of texas at el paso with a huge rally of students. and really getting perhaps suburban women in the town of dallas, houston, austin, san

antonio, who are disgruntled with president trump, to get them on switch over, as well as a huge influx of latino voters. a lot of people thinking all those stars will have to align if beto o'rourke will have a chance tomorrow night. >> thank you. i want to expand on something we touched on at the top of the broadcast. the number people voting early. at least 31 million this election. that's about 10 million more than voted early in the 2014 memorials. for comparison about, 41 million voted early in the 2016 presidential campaign. the president is saying it is a referendum on him. here necessary cleveland. >> you know, the mid-term elections used to be boring. do you even remember what they were? you say mid-terms, what is that? who even heard of mid-terms? i have a lot of people saying i don't know what mid-terms is but now i'm going out every minute

to vote. you have to go out and vote. in a sense, i am on the ticket. >> with that, let's bring in the afterhours gang who probably has spent a lot of time paying attention to mid-terms. >> what are they again? >> senator santorum, have you ever paid attention on mid-terms? >> well, i remember one particular mid-term in 2006. it was very memorable. >> which permits you to be here tonight. >> that's why i'm here. >> people have asked me how important this mid-term is. i'll be honest with you. i don't think it is that important. i don't think things will change that much in washington. in fact, david and i were talking about this offstage. i think that the way it is stacking up right now, it is just perfectly for trump. >> how so? >> he needs to pick up seats in

the senate. for a variety of reasons. he wants to confirm his judges. he wants to have a block about any bad things the house will do. and i think that's happening. if you look at where he's campaigning. he's campaigning in the senate race. his message about the senate races. he is trying to build his buffer in the senate. the other thing he's doing is he is campaigning -- i think pretty blatantly so, not really caring about suburban voters. not really caring about those republicans out there. why? what is the best thing that could happen to donald trump tomorrow night? >> nancy pelosi. >> that he loses the house of representatives and he will have someone to beat up on for two years and blame for every problem he has. this is a great setup for the president. >> that's great in theory. honestly, i agree with the theory. but the truth of the matter is that yes, he needs an enemy, he'll have someone to punch and maybe he can even get one or two things done -- >> he's been lacking an enemy.

>> right. >> you've been the enemy. now he has something that's a real enemy. >> nancy pelosi? >> like nancy pelosi. >> but if you have a democratic house, they're going to subpoena his tax returns. he's got to face bob mueller. we'll go back to witch hunt. >> this is what republicans count on all the time. which is the left overplaying their hand and doing crazy stuff -- >> i remember newt gingrich did that in -- >> i hear you, rick. but it reminds me of when winston churchill lost the reelection and lady clementine said it's a blessing in disguise and he said, it's rather well disguised. >> i don't know. >> i have been in a white house that lost control of -- that lost control of congress, and i know what it's like when you have a congress that is now looking at every aspect of what you're doing. i don't know how much the president is going to enjoy that scrutiny. they could overdo it.

well, i was thinking today probably the first thing someone will think to ask is how did that decision get made to send troops to the border and how much did it cost and were there e-mails exchanged from the white house to the pentagon on this? and that's just a small thing. but you know, the congress has the power to investigate, and if they have the gumption to investigate that can be very, very irksome. secondly, one thing you didn't discuss, you're putting it in the context of the congress. there are governors races tomorrow as well. and republicans stand to lose a whole passel of governorships which has implications for redistricting but also for the presidential election because who the governor is and who controls the sort of political mechanisms of the state is important in presidential races. so i'm sure the president has a way of finding the good spin on my event, and he may adopt yours. but i think that he'd sooner

trade that for a big win tomorrow. >> i would add that the democrats need something. the pain and the frustration and the fear at the base of the democratic party is something i've never seen before. people are literally going to psychologists. i mean, people are very afraid -- no, you laugh. but it's not funny because you've got people, they're scared their neighbors are going to be deported. you have jewish people who are afraid. you have a lot of fear. and when you have fear and helplessness, you don't have the house, you don't have the senate, you don't have the supreme court, you don't have the white house, you've got nothing, it's unhealthy. i think having something, some way to stay apart, some way to be involved, some way to feel like your voice matters is going to be healthy for democrats and it's going to get people the ability to hang on for two more years and deal with 2020. >> i think it's that angst, van, and i understand you night after

night have been skeptical of the polls and you say why should we believe the polls -- >> i just feel like we should wait 24 hours. >> i think that's totally fair. that's why i actually think we don't have to look at the polls. we can look at the votes that occurred over the last year and a half that democrats cast in the primary season and in special election after special election after special election. in the entire trump era the story of american politics has been overperformance of democrats in some republican areas, some they didn't win at the end of the day, some they did like the alabama senate seat or conor lamb's seat in pennsylvania. but the story has been all that energy and angst actually coming out in votes being cast. and that is what i think is giving democrats on the eve of this election greater hope than even what the polls suggest is an advantage, is the last year and a half they've seen it work. >> we'll talk more ahead. coming up, what the president's said about his daughter ivanka and political correctness and what the president's gender gap issues might mean tomorrow. later, oprah winfrey's contribution to stacey abrams' campaign for georgia governor. the racist robocall featuring an impersonator and her response to it.

new cnn polling confirming what just about every poll has shown, president trump faces a considerable gender gap. john king tonight called it a canyon, not a gap. many things play into it and perhaps it's going to affect the outcome tomorrow. in point of fact, though, if it bothers the president he doesn't seem to show it right now. here's another moment from his rally in cleveland introducing his daughter ivanka and, well, take a look. >> the truth is she's a very, very -- you're not allowed to use the word beautiful anymore when you talk about women. you're not allowed. no, no.

it's politically incorrect. no, no. it's politically -- i will never call a woman beautiful again. and every man here, every man here, raise your hand. you will never, ever say your wife, your girlfriend, anybody is beautiful. right? so i'm not allowed to say it because -- because it's my daughter ivanka. but she's really smart. and she's here. should i bring her up? come on. ivanka, come up. >> uh, back now. >> he is such an idiot sometimes. i mean, really. like you can't say to your wife you're beautiful? the problem is -- >> that is in the democratic party platform. >> it is. of course it is. it's platform 1a.

but the problem with him is he's from a generation and he himself -- and i don't want to castigate that generation. take that first part back. he himself is so obsessed with women's looks that that's how he views them. they're not useful to him if they don't look the right way, and we can go through all the things he's said about women. he doesn't -- i mean, it's nice he said his daughter was smart. but he doesn't think that way as a first matter. women looking at that, i mean, he just can't get it right. and he's going to put sarah huckabee sanders and he's going to put kellyanne conway up on stage and ivanka and he's going to think just having those women up there will make those suburban women come back around. he's just -- he's such -- >> but doesn't the anti-political correctness, you know, war on christmas, i mean, that message work? a lot of people believe -- feel -- >> nobody's going around saying you may never say that a woman is beautiful. he called a woman horseface. >> he didn't handle it particularly deftly. but the idea of political correctness is a serious issue

and it does resonate not just with the base but with a lot of people in this country about, you know, speech codes and what you can say and what you can't say and a little bit of hypersensitivity -- >> all women are asking is that people -- >> i'm not talking about women. i'm talking about -- >> not just on how they look but -- >> of course. and i agree with that. >> that's not politically correct. that's just human. >> i'm talking about the whole idea of political correctness. that's what his focus was on. >> it's the culture war too. i mean, he can't help but play the culture warrior on any number of issues. "me too," kneeling, nfl games, the war on merry christmas. he's going to make everybody say merry christmas at this point. and again it's sort of this nostalgia for a time gone by and he stokes that among his base, which again is older -- >> one person's political correctness is another person's sort of decency or open-mindedness to not making somebody else feel uncomfortable who doesn't celebrate christmas

but who's celebrating hanukkah or whatever it may be. >> yeah. i think part of what you're seeing with trump is he really needs to have that victimization. it's so weird. because usually the conservatives say we're rugged individualists. >> and it's the left that's all about -- >> i was going to say someone from the left talking about us playing the victim card. whoa. whoa. i have vertigo right now. van talking about victimization. whoa. >> let van finish. >> i think you've made this point before, nia. the idea that identity politics is only being played by african-americans and women and lgbtq plus people. no. trump has perfected white identity politics. we are these aggrieved straight white guys that everybody's mean to and doesn't like and makes fun of and i'm going to stick up for us. that sounds an awful lot like the stuff conservatives used to criticize folks for. so this is an instance, maybe a silly one, of him playing that particular song over and over again. we are the beleaguered.

we are being mistreated. but i'm going to stand up to these people who, you know, need to be stood up to. >> but van, maybe people could believe him a little bit if he hadn't called a woman a horseface. >> yes. >> and so he had no problem calling stormy daniels horseface but he has some trouble saying that a woman is beautiful. i mean, which is politically correct and which isn't politically correct? i don't think either of those things are terrific and i think he made a mistake in calling stormy daniels what he called her, and i think tonight was silly and ridiculous and an effort to appeal, as van was saying, but -- >> but you guys were getting at something that i think is actually central to his politics, which is there is a sense of loss among like the folks who you really spoke to as a candidate, the sense that somehow their america is under siege and that change is working against them. and that is at the core of trump's appeal.

he understands it. everything he does -- i mean, he is instinctual but he has an instinct for vulnerability. and this is at the core of his appeal. >> not just his appeal. i think it's at the core of the american political divide. right? >> it's a cultural -- >> that's why we're talking about this as a re-alignment election. you're talking about white suburban women shifting over to be republicans -- democrats, excuse me. from the republican party. and now you have democrats switching over to be republicans in the trump party. >> this is the opportunity for the 2020 election, is a candidate who is saying it doesn't have to be one versus the other, it doesn't have to be us versus them, it can be all of us, it can be we. that's the opportunity. >> that's not a winning message. >> i'm not sure how that's going to play. >> sit here on a panel for a while. you didn't convince six people on this panel.

>> coming up, oprah's response late tonight to a racist robocall about her support for georgia gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams. we'll play you some of the racist call and also oprah's response. 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.

all the tools you need for every step of the way. phase it in? make it, squarespace so, let's talk about conference calls. there's always a certain amount of fumbling.

a lot of times it doesn't work. we have problems. comcast business goes beyond fast. by letting you make and receive calls from any device using your business line. and conference calls you can join without any dial-ins or pins. (phone) there are currently 3 members in this conference. i like that. i like that too. i would use that in a heartbeat. get started with innovative voice solutions for a low price when you get fast, reliable internet. comcast business. beyond fast. oprah winfrey has been out campaigning in georgia for stacey abrams who if she wins would become the country's first african-american female governor. tonight winfrey has responded to a racist robocall that targeted georgia voters from a white supremacist group. we're going to play you her response in a moment. here's just some of that call. and again, a warning, it's pretty vile.

>> this is the magical negro. oprah winfrey. asking you to make my fellow negress, stacey abrams, the governor of georgia. where others see a poor man's aunt jemima i see someone white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones. and so i promise that every single person who votes for stacey abrams, you're going to get a new car. so you get a car and you get a car and you get a car and you get a car. everybody gets a car! >> that actually was sent out. here's what oprah winfrey posted on instagram tonight. >> i heard people are making racist robocalls in my name against stacey abrams, who i am 100% for in georgia. i just want to say, jesus don't like ugly. uh-uh. and we know what to do about that. vote. tomorrow show up and show out.

and vote! >> oprah's response. i mean, what can someone say about the robocall? it's just sickening. >> yeah. and you've seen a few of these in a couple of the races here down in florida and now of course down in georgia. who knows where they're coming from? i think most of the candidates', camp. and desantis have rebuked them >> i think this one they know the white supremacist group -- >> yeah, it's? group in idaho or somewhere, some white supremacist group. the thing is oprah winfrey was a very compelling person to come down and essentially testify to suburban white women about why they should vote for abrams in that race, and i think there's some worry there because if they can make those white women who typically vote for republicans switch parties and vote for stacey abrams, the african-american vote and then

get latino voters out there as well, they're changing the demographics of the state. >> and that was a brilliant way to turn something negative into something positive. i mean, you take the crap, you turn it into fertilizer and you do something positive with it. she's done that her whole career. she did it tonight. she'll keep doing it. and i thought it was really extraordinary. she's not somebody, oprah winfrey, who likes to jump into politics. but i think she saw something in stacey abrams and i think she also saw her being mistreated. and she says you know what, this is another time for me to open my mouth and open my heart and open my arms, and i think it was very effective. >> but to nia's point about the appeal from oprah to white women is so key because followed up by the visit is this closing out ad from stacey abrams which is completely geared towards appealing to white women there. i mean, the ad is full of just white women basically. and it is no doubt that it was

sent out and distributed directly on the heels of the oprah visit to try to hammer that group home. >> i've got to say that was -- i mean, in a litany of stupid things done by the kemp campaign and for the kemp campaign, even if he didn't authorize it at the end, this is just throw this on the pile. >> and he denounced -- >> of course. i understand that. all i'm saying is like if someone may have thought they were helping him -- >> but the group -- i mean, i'm not saying the name of this group. but a group does this not to actually convince voters. they do it to gain recognition and fund-raise. >> it backfires. it drives more people -- >> for the group it gives them publicity if people say their name -- >> they don't care about brian kemp. they just want to get their scurrilous stuff out there. so it's played on cnn. that's why. they're going to get national recognition for this. that's why they do it. >> i mean, which is why we're

not saying their name. but they have done this before. and that's what it's all about. it's what all these people want-s they want publicity. >> it does speak to -- i mean, race is the jagged edge of american politics, and it has coursed throughout politics for the length of the republic. these are close races. >> they're in the south. >> states where race has been at the center from the beginning. and you know, it speaks to what happens at the end of close races. these kinds of despicable -- >> you can tell a runoff is what happens here. to van's earlier point about lack of trust on both sides. if it's really razor thin you get to a runoff it's going to be really heated. >> there's a good chance there will be a runoff in georgia between abrams and -- >> but we've seen these kinds of racial overtones in florida and georgia where you have african-american candidates and both of these candidates, i have to say, have handled it so, so well. and they've -- gillum has sort of dismissed a lot of stuff that he could have really picked on and -- >> but he also picked on -- i think unfairly picked on desantis to be honest with you.

somehow the term monkey up is a racist term. and last night -- >> cotton-picking. >> he still confirmed that it was sort of a -- it had no place. he didn't say oh, that was -- he didn't say what van said. last night van said this is a common term, it has nothing to do with race. he didn't say that. so the idea that gillum has risen above this, not at all. he has pointed to desantis and tried to play that card. >> i see it somewhat differently in that first of all andrew gillum is an extraordinary -- i've known this guy for ten years. he's an extraordinary person. his class and his dignity show through even when he's trying to deal with tough stuff. it's all politics. it's tough stuff. but i think he's done himself well. he's done his family proud and he's given people a reason. if he does win i don't think people will feel like he was a

racial bomb thrower in any way and he could have been. >> let's take a quick break. more with our political team. plus what the president said today when he was asked if he was concerned that the democrats if they win any control in congress might go after his tax returns. we'll show you that ahead.

hey. i'm sue. and my first call is crunch. ♪ delicious 100% real chocolate embracing the lightness of crispy rice. crunch. the chocolate bar all americans love. so dad slayed the problem with puffs plus lotion, instead. with lotion to soothe and softness to please. a nose in need deserves puffs, indeed.

first, it continues to pay paramedics while we're on break. second, it ensures the closest ambulance can respond if you call 9-1-1. vote yes on 11. recently, more than $20 million has been spent in the race for superintendent of public instruction to attack my friend tony thurmond's record. well, i've worked with tony, and no one is more qualified to lead our state's schools. that's why tony thurmond is the only candidate endorsed by classroom teachers and the california democratic party. because tony will stand up to the donald trump-betsy devos agenda and has always protected our local public schools. join me in voting

for tony thurmond. let's put our kids first. proposition 11 "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. if the president is at all concerned about democrats taking control of the house in tomorrow's elections, he is certainly not trying to let anybody know that. he said at rallies that it could happen but he's not worried about it, he'll just figure it out. and here's what he said today when he was asked if he's concerned the democrats will go after his tax returns. >> i don't care. they can do whatever they want. and i can do whatever i want. >> does anyone actually believe he doesn't care about the tax returns? >> i think he cares and he's going to care a whole lot in

about 60 days. >> just remember the reason donald trump likes to watch cnn is because you talk about him all the time. and if you think, if you think that he is not up for the fight of having the democrats fight with him every single day and have a war with the democrats about him every day, you're wrong. i disagree with david. i think he is perfectly prepared to run the next two years -- you think he won't like it and they'll do all those investigations. great. because they're talking about him. and as long as they're talking about him he's a very -- >> it's hard to believe that that's the preferred -- just because of the onslaught of investigation, subpoenas -- >> look at how he's campaigned. look at where he's -- >> no, he relishes the fight. i get that. i just think it's got to be a little more silver lining than the actual -- >> i'm disagreeing with you that
