hi there, i'm brooke baldwin, live here in the nation's capital. you're watching cnn's special coverage of election day in america. the polls will close in indiana and kentucky, giving the nation the first sign of whether republicans will keep control of congress. there are reports of long lines at the polls and the early vote is already showing how exception an this election really is. 33 million, at least 33 million ballots have been cast. that exceeds all the votes in last midterm four years ago. and the specifics as far as what's at stake today, you have 36 governor races, 35 senate seats and all 435 house seats, not to mention all of the ballot measures, state and local

offices all determined by you, the voter, today. cnn has crews all across the country to bring you the very latest on what both parties are calling most consequential midterm ever. let's start in florida where races for governor and u.s. senate are still neck and neck. rosa flores, set the scene for us. >> reporter: brooke, nail biting here in florida of course. that is what florida is known for, nail-biting races. this is the financial district in downtown miami. this is as far as we can go when it comes to getting close to the polling place. you can see that this polling place is at a church. now, don't let the fact that you don't see a line fool you because here in florida there has been a very involved electorate. before you woke up this morning, 39% of florida registered voters

had already voted. if you compare that to 2014, that is a 62% increase. now, when you break that down by party, this is where you get these nail biting, razor thin elections here in florida because that's the setup that we're starting to see here. take a look at these numbers. if you break down the early voting numbers, brooke, 40.1% are registered republicans. 40.5% are registered democrats. and then the rest, the 19.4% that are left are no party affiliation or other. now, since president trump took office, about 1 million voters have registered. now, there is this sense across the nation that most of florida voters are seniors. that is not the case. 52% are millennials, gen-zers

and gen-xers. the question is will they actually exercise their power and go to the polls? >> we shall see. in florida, rosa, good to see you. meantime, just north in georgia, the georgia race for governor is expected to be incredibly close as well. and as we've been reporting, it's already quite controversial with democratic accusations of voter suppression and brian kemp, the republican candidate, making last-minute claims that the democrats tried to hack the election without offering any evidence whatsoever. it is also a race that could prove to be historic, as stacey abrams tries to become the nation's first black female governor. so let's go to nick valencia at a polling station in atlanta. tell me what you're seeing and hearing there. >> i'm here in morningside. we saw this morning an incredible amount of enthusiasm.

we'll pan over to that corner, the spaces taken up by cars, that was taken up by people earlier this morning. the weather passed through here, raining a good ten minutes and it fizzled out the crowd. people did come back and we've seen that ebb and flow all day. we are still being told there's about a 40-minute wait. i took a look inside just a short time ago. i talked to the polling manager here. she's worked here for 20 years and said she's never seen this time of enthusiasm or turnout, not even during presidential elections. we had historic turnout for early voting, 2.1 early votes cast. i talked to a 24-year-old who said she's never voted in an election, never felt inspired to. she's so upset, she came out and she said her friend are as well. georgia has the chance to elect the first black female governor in history. i spoke to one voter who said

that has inspired him. this is such a close race. it is really neck and neck. what has thrown a wrench into all of this, which could potentially lead to a runoff in december, is that there's a third-party candidate. he's not expected to get much of the vote, maybe upwards of 2%. that could be enough in this state where you need 50 plus one majority to win, to send it to a runoff. >> nick valencia, thank you in atlanta. meantime voting in texas is under way in what may prove to be a key battleground for control of the senate. republican ted cruz is in one of the most high-profile and surprisingly competitive races in the whole country, as he faces off with democrat beto o'rourke. so with me now from a polling place in south lake, texas, is cnn's athena jones. athena, what's the story in texas? >> reporter: hi, brooke. we're in tarant county, the

third most populous county in the lone star state and this is a bellweather county. o'rourke himself said at the beginning of his run if they're going to win texas, they're going to have to win tarant county. the early voting numbers were very, very strong. here more than 40%, about 41.5% of registered voters here cast their ballot before today. 465,000 voters. of course we don't have a party breakdown here in texas, so we don't know exactly what the s shape of the electorate is but the size is very large. the administrator here said the voting turnout surpassed even the 2012 presidential vote. cruz supporters say they're supporting him because they feel he will support president trump.

prum president trump is taking the country in the right direction, they're worried about border patrol and gun rights and conservative judges. speaking to beto's supporters, they're talking about how they're concerned about the rhetoric going on in this country, they want unifier and they're fearful for the state of our democracy. a lot of enthusiasm here. we'll have to see how it all wraps up. >> that's one of those senate races we're watching very closely. let's expand on that, the battle for the senate. republicans are hoping to expand on their narrow majority. democrats are trying to pull off an upset in a couple of states that trump won big in 2016. there are key senate races, harry, that you will be watching tonight the educate us. >> there are five key races. if the democrats sweep all of them, it's my guess they will probably take control of the chamber. if republicans win just one of them, they will maintain control

and if they win more than one, they may expand their majority. arizona, key race. this would be a democratic pick pickup. jeff flake is retiring. sinema over mcsally. josh holly has given a good challenge, the polls are really, really neck here. let's look at more of them texas, we just spoke about that, beto o'rourke, ted cruz, there hasn't been a democrat elected to the senate in texas since 1988 but o'rourke is giving cruz a good challenge. let's keep going, indiana. this is another state that donald trump won overwhelmingly. polls have been really, really close there. and let's go to the state of nevada, jackie rose the democrat against dean heller.

the polls are very, very close. we really don't know who is going to win here, just like we don't most of those other states. if democrats can win all, they'll take control, if democra republican can win one of them, they'll probably maintain control. i'm wearing chinos, no tie, though. >> we'll be brewing the coffee. i have a feeling a lot of those races are going to keep people up overnight. >> coming up, we'll look at where we will see record setting turnout. on the eve of the election president trump admitted he does have one regret after his first two years in office. he says his tone could have been softer. hmm. what does he plan to do about that? as for predictions tonight, we will leave that to the lawmakers.

>> are you 100% sure of victory tonight in your mind? >> yes, i am. i feel confident that we will win. it's just a question of the size of the victory. who can help me build a complete plan. brian, my certified financial planner™ professional, is committed to working in my best interest. i call it my "comfortable future plan," and it's all possible with a cfp® professional. find your certified financial planner™ professional at letsmakeaplan.org.

♪ welcome back, i'm brooke baldwin here in washington, d.c. you're watching cnn special election day coverage. let me cite a cnn.com piece, called "the two americas are on a collision course today" written by senior analyst ron brownstein. he writes "from one direction, trump faces antipathy among your people and minority voters and unusually broad resistance among college-educated white voters,

especially women. on the other side, trump retains strong support among evangelical, rural and non-college-educated white voters and women. let's begin with mary catherine hamm, senior political analyst david gergen. happy election day, all. good to be in your town. let me start with you and then follow up with you, david. has trump managed to do something, no matter what side you're on, that bloggers and politicians and tv ads haven't been able to do because he's made voting great again? look, i do think there's energy on both sides and i think it's a bit understated that some of these republican enthusiasm

numbers are pretty good. that's not to say democrats aren't outdoing them because they are but they're closer to parity than what they're given credit for. when you have a situation like 2016 when you have a lot of trump voters but you have races that are run completely differently. i'm thinking of an ohio senate race in 2016, the republican outperformed trump doing a very different game. there are a lot of house candidates on the ground doing a very different thing. whether that can exist outside of the trump orbit is the question. it can happen with senate races. the house is more difficult. >> in terms of the enthusiasm, we've seen all the early numbers. typically in midterms it's more white, older folks. looking at trump, do you give

him the credit for what he's done? >> the credit and the blame. i do think having more people voting, more millenniums voting, think about how much more fortunate we are to live in a country where can you vote and can argue than countries like china where you're suppressed. the bad thing is our divisions -- we're now divided in ways which i think are quite destructive. usually after an election people come together and say you guys won, we'll come back another time but right now we're americans together. the tribal differences are deepening in this election. my greatest fear is we're going to have one party that is basically white and blue collar and another party which has lots and lots of diversity but it's more college educated and those two just have different cultures

and different views of life. >> speaking of those divisions, paul cane at the "washington post," he's been covering elections for decades. >> we love paul. >> he highlights how divided the country is that we keep going from back and forth and back and forth. i do think if democrats end up taking the house, we're going to see nothing but gridlock for the next two years. >> i want to get to that but first we talked a lot about your politico piece yesterday and a senior republican in the house saying trump has hijacked this election. and part of that conversation and you mention the blame is rhetoric and some rhetoric we just haven't seen in this country since the 50s and the 60s. so that said, this is also what president trump said just yesterday. >> is there anything as you look back at your first almost two years that you regret, that you wish on you that you could just take back and redo? >> well, there would be certain

things. i'm not sure i want to reveal all of them, but i would say tone. i would like to have a much softer tone. i feel to a certain extent i have no choice but maybe i do and maybe could i have been softer from that standpoint. >> he's the president. he has a choice. >> you know who regrets his word choice even more? pet peter, running in the suburbs, all the republicans and traditional republican strongholds that we shouldn't even be talking about today but they are filled with suburban voters who are educated women who are totally turned off by the president's tone. it comes at a time when the economy is doing great. if republicans could sort of silence the president for a while and just run on the economy, there are grope leop l who think they would be doing better. everyone doesn't agree with that because trump does turn out the base but the economy, everyone thinks it's doing pretty well right now. still we've got this blow back.

>> what's the big surprise in what could send a total curveball your direction through all of this election coverage this evening? >> if you want to be really out there, i'd be very shocked in the republicans kept the house, right? but i think a more realistic one, a georgia win for a democrat, an african-american woman running as a pretty progressive governor for georgia would be interesting. >> my prediction on that is runoff. who knows, 50 plus one but what do you think? >> if republicans keep the house after all these polls and all this enthusiasm on the democratic side, we've had two national polls, cnn and gallup in the last two days showing a double-digit lead by the democrats. if the polls are that far off, i think we're all going to be completely at sea in understanding. i think we may get a hundred women elected to the house. and i think we may get a record number of new veterans coming in who will be working in across

the aisles. >> 156 veterans on the ballots up and down the country. i was talking to paul rycoff about that just yesterday. if the dems do take back the house, you have a democratic controlled house, republican controlled senate and a republican in the white house, is that gridlock with a capital g? >> all bold and all capital. >> talk of impeachment and investigations and immigration pushback. >> yeah. impeachment tbd but absolutely investigations. the house oversight committee, the house judiciary committee are already lining up their first subpoenas, who they're going to bring in, which documents they're going to request. they're going to go back and look at all of these things that the house republicans totally ignored, these controversies in the white house. trump is going to want to fight back against at that. i was talking to mark short just yesterday.

he thinks, he's a former white house legislative affairs director, he thinks there's a possibility dems might work with the president to get something like transportation done, like rebuilding the road and bridges, but i think there's going to be so much bickering. i don't see it happening. >> what does that look like, trump and the democrats? >> i do think it's important, there's not a small number of americans for whom gridlock is a feature, not a bug. they're attempting to give a bug to him. there's going to be fighting and he's going to counterpunches, his favorite thing to do. >> there hasn't been much done legislatively. one power the president is likely to retain is appointing judges. the number of things he hasn't passed is quite long, such as infrastructure, which is pretty

critical to the future. that is one area we might see cooperation across aisles. >> i do think that house dems will sort of use this to build the party's platform for 2020 as well. they'll use the house to pass legislation that would, you know, expand universal background checks, legislation that reinforces protections for preexisting conditions, bills that go after corruption and money and campaigns. the senate won't touch them but then the party can use this as a platform to say this is what we stand for, we're going to take trump out in 2020 and launch their own countertrump. >> i didn't want to cut you off, david. thank you guys also very much. we'll look to see who is surprised on which issue this evening here on cnn. coming up next, two candidates for governor in florida, drew

gillum and ron desantis cast votes, both holding their little ones. we'll look at florida and other gubernatorial races today. also, your hour-by-hour viewing tonight. you're watching cnn's special live coverage. we'll be right back. when i book at hilton.com i get to select my room from the floor plan... free wi-fi... ...and the price match guarantee. so with hilton there is no catch. yeah the only catch is i'm never leaving. no i'm serious, i live here now. book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee.

as voters head to the polls today, they will be casting ballots for governors in 36 states. among those being closely

watched, you have georgia, florida and iowa where history could be made and in wisconsin where the republican incumbent is fighting to save his seat. and ryan young is our cnn national correspondent, who is watching voting traffic outside a polling precinct in waukesha, wisconsin. tell me more about that race. >> absolutely. scott walker is trying to run -- this is literally his third time running. he's going against tony evers, who he's going neck and neck with. i'm talking to people who say they're doing too much about the stats here. they feel it's about the issues. one woman said for her and her family, she wants to talk about wage growth. she thinks it's stagnant. she said she's stuck. she doesn't want to vote for the same thing going on but taxes are low and she doesn't want to worry about her health care. and she talked about the idea of how the tariffs are impacting some of her family members because of the farmland. when you hear about issues like

that, you understand the back and forth going on there. some believe scott walker was going to be the next star. he ran for president. and then there's the idea of wanting change in the area. then there's the impact, we're just 30 minutes outside of mill million. you know harley davidson had to lay off so many workers. and then you had paul ryan's senate seat that's up. but two people told me they don't want to have all the fighting they've seen in washington continue. they said there's too many thing that unite us in washington. they want a change at the ballot box because they believe this is the best part of us coming out to vote and coming out and staying strong. and today despite the weather, people have been showing up in force. >> all up and down the east coast a lot of rain. hopefully that won't deter people from exercising that first amendment right. as we think about what's on the

ballot, we could hear the word "first" a lot. a number of candidates, both democrat and republican, are set to make history this midterm. voters casting ballots for african-american, transgender and women candidates are likely to break down a series of societal barriers. maeve reston is here with a look at the prominent first, starting with who could become first as far as first black governors in their states. >> yeah, it's going to be an amazing night. we obviously have this marquis race, with stacey abrams, and andrew gillum in florida and ben jealous in maryland. stacey abrams obviously leading a crop of potential historic firsts for women, which you have focused on.

we have also the races in arizona, for example, retiring senator jeff flake has touched off this battle between mcsally and kyrsten sinema. and potentially in nevada we have the legislate why are that could potentially be a majority for women. >> which is incredible. >> also with jacky rosen and dean heller. and on the diversity spectrum, so many young, diverse candidates coming out. we potentially have the first native american members of

congress, which would be really exciti exciting. and also the first potential muslim american members of congress with rashida -- >> she's also a write-in. >> it going to be a great night for that. and we have so many candidates running on transgender issues, christine hallquist in vermont, potentially the first governor there and in colorado, you have potentially the first gay governor in jared polis.

>> what have you been hearing from women? >> they are so disdained and they are showing up today. >> some polls do start closing in about three hours from now. before you watch the returns tonight right here on cnn, our very own john berman will give us tonight's hour-by-hour viewer guide of tonight's results. and two years ago this state was decisive for trump.

welcome back. we're here live in washington, d.c. i'm brooke baldwin. while we've been talking about a lot of high-profile contests like the governor races in florida and georgia, there are a smattering of congressional races that could be huge

indicators of where this country is coming. so john berman, anchor of "cnn "newsday" is here. look at you, up at breakfast. >> i had a nap and now i'm back. i'm great. >> i heard you're looking at kentucky. >> the polls close in kentucky at 6:00. this is a toss-up race. look at like it's the play-in game in march madness. for republicans, it's the play-in game. the only way they even get to the tournament is to maintain control of that seat. if the republican incumbent goes down in kentucky at 6 p.m., that's a sign it's going to be a really long, bad night for them. georgia 6 is the same thing, if the republicans lose there, again, it's a very bad night. if they hold those two races,

though, it's no guarantee things will go well. it's when you get to the 8:00 hour where you really might see where things are headed. pennsylvania and new jersey, right, in new jersey if democrats pick up more than two seats, it means they are headed for perhaps 35, 40 seats. but if republicans can get up to 9:00 through pennsylvania and through new jersey without losing any toss-up race, that's a sign it might be a long night for the democrats. >> don't you have all those races in california? i know you're up super, super late. >> i'm planning to be up all night. there are at least six, maybe as many as nine toss-up races. i think the way to look at this is if the democrats absolutely need them to get control of the house, this is not going the way they hoped. they want to be very nearly there already between pick ups in pennsylvania and new jersey,

virginia and the midwest. if they absolutely need california, yes, they could get what they need there but they don't want to need california. >> i was just talking it a couple other equally intelligent people sit hearing at this table and they were saying one of their biggest surprises would be if heaven forbid the polls are wrong and the democrats, let's say they do regain of the house but not by much. what does that signal to you? >> i don't believe that is the most likely scenario. i would be most surprised in all of this if it is really close, if we're up super late watching this. to me, waves tend to wave. if the democrats are going to take over, it's going to be because something is fundamentally going on and they're going to pick up a ton of seats. if the polls are not there, i think it would be fairly obvious that the democrats aren't getting what they need and the likelihood of them picking up

the house diminishes. i suppose it could be sort of a brawl for a few seats in california, even alaska into the wee hours of the morning, but if you're going to ask me what would surprise me most, what would surprise me most is if we don't know by 9ish where this is headed. >> what do you think the headline will be when we wake up or don't wake up in the morning? what's the headline? >> i don't know. >> all the people coming out to vote maybe? >> i think if the polls are right, it's a good night for the democrats. but i think there's a substantial possibility something is not registering. look what happened in florida. in 2016, the campaign manager for hillary clinton said we saw in florida we weren't hitting the numbers we needed. what that told me, robbie says, is we're not going to get what we need in pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, wisconsin and these other states. so things tend to go big when they go. trends trend. >> listen, you always look to the president after a midterm election. i think the word that president obama used was shellacked.

i'm not quite sure that is in the lexicon of donald trump. that said, what will his reaction be, especially in the democrats take back the house? >> i think there's a 0% chance he quotes barack obama in general. i don't think he looks to president obama for guidance. i don't think he say that, whether it's shellacking or thumping, i'm not sure. i think if president trump has breakfast, he'll declare that a victo victory. i think he's going to declare victory one way or another. if democrats take the house, he say we didn't lose it worse because of me. if republicans maintain control of the senate, which is very possible, he'll claim that as a victo victory. i think that's the way he's going to see this. but midterm elections are a referendum on the party in power. >> certainly. but he says they're not. >> they are. this could be just a traditional one. it happens when you have the first midterm for a president, things generally speaking go badly for him.

>> that will be something to look for tomorrow morning, breakfast and beyond. >> we'll be on early. >> how early? >> 5 a.m. >> watch this guy bright and early. we'll be nerding out on all things election day. >> coming up next, an important reminder what it needs to vote. the widow of the army major who was killed in afghanistan. what she says about her husband's final wish for this election day. ♪ opportunity is everywhere. like here. where you can explore the world knowing you can always find your way home. whenshe was pregnant,ter failed, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do.

major taylor of the army national guard was killed in afghanistan from an insider attack, a war that 14,000 americans are still fighting. each minute, each hour of every day. and overnight just hours before polls opened here in the u.s., his body arrived at dover facebook in delaware. and his last wish made for a divided america. and because my word just won't do that wish justice, let me let his wife tell you in a tribute fit for the red, white and blue. >> this morning my two oldest sons have joined me and their

proud but devastated grandparents in welcoming their father, major brent russell taylor back on to u.s. soil and back home to the land he has always loved so dearly. to call it a sobering event would be an unspeakable understatement. to say that our hearts are anything less than shattered would be nothing short of true deceit and yet to deny the sacred honor that it is to stand that close to some of the pressurest blo e freshest flood spilled for our country would be utter blasphemy. i can tell you all that i feel this morning as i stand here this morning by the dawn's early life. so i echo the words, he may have died on afghan soil but died for

the freedom for both of our countries. there was an incident that took the life of one of my husband's dearest afghan military colleagues and friends, a young lieutenant who at the age of 22 had only recently finished his officer training. brent wrote, "the strong turnout at that election, despite the attacks and challenges, was a success for the long suffering people of afghanistan and for the cause of human freedom. i am proud of the brave afghan and u.s. soldiers i serve with. many american, nato and afghan troops have died to make moments like this election possible." it seems only fitting that brent, who in death now represents so much more than anything, something so much greater than any of or own individual lives has come home to u.s. soil on a flag-draped

casket on our election day. it is a timeless and cherished honor to serve in our country's armed service's. that honor has opinibeen brent he suffered in the utah national guard for the past 15 years and it has been mine as i stood by his side and it will be for our seven children for the rest of their lives and i pray for many generations to come. the price of freedom surely feels incredibly high to all of us who know and love our individual soldier, but the value of freedom is immeasurable to all who know and love america and all that she represents. brant himself put it best just days ago when he implored of us all i hope everyone back home exercises their pressure right to vote and whether the republicans or democrats win, i hope that we all remember that we have far more as americans

that unites us than divides us. may god forever bless america. thank you.

hour two, here we go. i'm brooke baldwin, live in washington, d.c. for cnn's special coverage of election day in america. two years after the biggest political upset in modern u.s. history, donald trump winning the presidency, another

extraordinary election day is in the works. this is the first chance for americans nationwide to weigh in by ballot on what has happened since trump took control of the white house. and already we know many, many more americans want a voice today than the last midterm election, at least 33 million ballots have been cast in the early vote, blowing out the total number for 2014. and in just less than three hours, the first polls close in indiana and kentucky, giving us those first indications of if republican will keep control of congress. and cnn has crews all across this country to bring you the very latest on what both parties are calling the most consequential midterm ever. let's begin in florida. rosa flores is there outside miami. of course the anticipation is high for the senate and governor's race. you were telling me that a lot of young people are showing up. >> reporter: you're absolutely right. you know, brooke, florida is known, is infamous for these
