down the gas. i spent the day with pensioners in bunkers in their houses today, watching them prepare for winter. when there are small heaters, which there are, this old lady who survived world war ii, when the heater goes off and the lights go off, we just put on a coat, wrap ourselves in a blanket and get into bed and try to ride it out. people here are bracing for a bad winter. the mayor is concerned. a lot of the old folks here, they may not make it, wolf. >> nic robertson reporting for us. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." i'll be back tomorrow at noon eastern with erin burnett for special election day coverage. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. good evening, i'm erin

burnett. "outfront" the final count down. the first polls opening just hours from now. control of congress and president biden's agenda are on the line. already 41 million people have cast their ballots in early voting. that's a remarkable number. tomorrow at this time we'll be standing by for the first results. this is one of the most consequence midterm contests ever. candidates across the country are at this late hour making their final pitch to voters in these hours before election day polls themselves open. in pennsylvania, a state where three presidents have descended over the past two days, republican senate candidate mehmet oz and democrat john fetterman are about to hold duelling rally and in ohio, former president trump is about to take the stage for his senate pick. seven are toss-ups or slightly tilt republican or democrat and flip it over, we'll show you the house, 20 races in 14 states

ares to -- are toss ups there, across from coast to coast. jeff zeleny is live in kenesaw tonight. this one is incredibly close, jeff. >> reporter: it certainly is. and herschel walker will be arrive momentarily on his red bus. it was very much an open question weeks and certainly months ago but he's going to be joined on stage by senator lindsey graham and some other republicans. the question are all georgia republicans and independent swing voters with him? moments ago in columbus, gentleman. democrat senator raphael warnock is trying to disqualify herschel

walker and he told georgians it's now up to them. >> everybody is asking me what's going to happen tomorrow? listen, i am making the case, it's really in your hands. if the people show up, i win. if the people of georgia show up, i win. if the people of georgia show up, we win. are you ready to win this election! >> so of course a quarter of a billion dollars has been spent on television ads here in georgia. 2.5 million have already voted. the question, who does show up tomorrow? are democrats able to sort of match that republican enthusiasm we're hearing and seeing on the ground. there's no doubt the path to the control of the senate runs right here through georgia. >> incredible. extraordinary amount of money. let's go to arizona. another crucial raise with kyung lah is out front in

phoenix. the governor's race is one of the most highly visible, kari lake versus karen hobbs. what is the latest on that in these final hours? >> reporter: it has all come down to the suburbs for democrat katie hobbs. this is a house in the phoenix suburbs and we are waiting for katie hobbs. she's going to be here in just a few minutes. this is as grass roots as it gets. people will be sitting around a couch as he makes her comments and that will emphasize that electing republican kari lake would be devastating for suburban communities trying to engage suburban women as far as republican kari lake. she is on a bus tour, a multi-stop, multi-day bus tour really leaning in to those maga roots at a church today. she was out of energizing her base. >> this is a movement. it's not a campaign. it's a movement of patriotic

arizonans who are sick of the crap, right? can i say that in a church? i'm sorry, god. >> reporter: a bit of levity there by kari lake, really just trying to get republicans across the border by boosting that energy but also reminding them that what the republican line is and the finish line is focusing on border issues as well as the all-important economy, erin. >> kyung, thank you very much. every single second matters. you got to run the clock all the way out. john avlon is "outfront" with our political analyst margaret hoover. oh my gosh! >> that's a lot of words in that intro. >> alison served as national coalition director for the biden-harris 2020 campaign and

scott jennings, senior former adviser to mitch mcconnell. we'll start with georgia where jeff was just reporting from the walker event. i know you've been speaking to people in the walker campaign. we keep hearing this could go either way. then you've got a libertarian running and you sneak the whole thing to a runoff. someone has to have 50% to prevent a runoff. how confident is the walker campaign? >> pretty confident. their pollster did their final tracking and had walker at 49 and warnock at 44. i'm watching the libertarian. they were concerned this person might go 5, 6, 7% of the vote. they picked out a universe of voters and focused on driving that libertarian down. looks like they've been pretty successful. that's really the key to getting over to 50% there. >> 49 and 44 still would be a runoff. that's amazing that could happen. ashley, when you hear scott, he's saying 49-44. that's a week ago thursday,

internal polling from the walker campaign, such that he hears it. are you confident in warnock's chances? does he get to 50? >> i don't know if he gets to 50 but i'm confident in his chances. we are seeing record turnout in georgia. that's kind of unheard of in our country around mid terms. the one thing about the clip you played around warnock when he said "if the people show up, i will win." i believe that. i think if turnout is high in georgia, a lot of people didn't think it was possible in 2020 and the people showed up and showed what was possible and i think that could happen again. >> we're going to talk more about georgia later with somebody who runs the elections there but in-person early voting was a record on the last day on friday. so nikki haley, former u.n. ambassador, former governor of south carolina may possibly be a gop v.p. candidate or more said this a the a gop rally in

wisconsin. let's hear her. >> here the democrats are talking about democracy being in danger. they're talking about all these other issues but they don't realize all we're saying is when we look at our wallets and we look at our families, we're trying to figure out what to pay and how to pay it. >> john, did democrats miss what's important, the most important to voters this election? we heard a lot about abortion and dobbs, we heard a lot about democracy. we didn't hear so much about those issues. >> i think it's a lost opportunity for democrats to say we've got a different economic vision and we think we can actually help middle class folks more and that's been part of the strategy. i think crime as well, democrats should have been playing offense to the issue. i don't think it's at the expense of dobbs or democracy. you have to do both. they're urgent issues that are going to drive people's decision in a democracy, that's true. but if democracy is overtaken by election denialists who threaten

the stability of the republic, that is a larger responsibility. it's kind of like dealing like something with climate change. don't take your eye off both balls at the same time. both things are important. one has longer reaching implications. >> what does tomorrow come down to? >> there's been a lot of republican early voting this year, too. georgia has a lot of republican early voting. it does all come down to turnout. the control of the senate is coming down to the margin of error in every single close state. it's amazing. it's turnout, baby. and this is going to go for a couple days and you're going to count. we'll be counting arizona, we're going to be counting pennsylvania. we're not going to know immediately either. we're looking for good weather in states where republicans want good turnout, democrats, too. but really, i do think in the final stretch there is enthusiasm on the republican side and i think the wins are slightly in favor of the

republicans here and i think it's hard not to admit that in the last stretch here. >> to that point, scott, we look at president biden and tonight he's campaigning in maryland for wes moore. moore is favored by 2-1 to win in maryland, my former home state. what does it say about biden's political standing? that's where he is. that's who wanted him there tonight. >> he's been in the bluest of blue places because that's where he's accepted. most of these states democrats wouldn't want him around because his approval ratings are pretty low like georgia. he's really low in georgia and i think has been a real plague on warnock's campaign. maggie hassan up in new hampshire was attacking joe biden the other day. margaret and i lived through one of these cycles back in 2006. george w. bush was also unpopular and was not able to campaign except in a few areas. >> so you're saying it's not

you, joe, you're just an incumbent. >> no, it's actually him. >> ashley? >> he was just in pennsylvania -- >> with his baby-sitter. >> barack obama was there. >> come on! he was the president of the united states. let's -- so when you saw the image of shapiro, feltetterman, obama and biden, it was like what america could be and i think it's a powerful image and it's in one of the most contested races. we can no longer pretend one state is more important than the other. every state matters. we saw that in 2021 around a governor's race in new jersey and everyone was like i can't believe dems took their foot off the gas. we aren't. we're playing a 50-state strategy this cycle. >> you look at pennsylvania. the real split even on the republican -- you see the governor's race and how that is

polled to go. i emphasize polled to go democratic. and the senate race completely up for grabs. >> there's split ticket voting. >> you could also get that in arizona. it is not inconceivable when you have mark kelly run the senate race but kari lake -- kelly lake? >> kari lake. >> we're all going to know her name come wednesday unfortunately. she may very well run away from the governor's race. >> to your point, that is a split ticket that a lot of people can't imagine. >> yup. >> and yet people are doing it. a lot of people say that can't be real. that's where conspiracy theories enter in. yes it is. voters are willing to accept two things could not both be true on the same ballot. >> that gives me hope because it shows an independent-minded calculation that people are not putting the party above the person or their conception of the country. that's one of the things i think we should be looking for tomorrow. republicans outperforming expectations in many blue

states. democrats maybe outperforming in a couple of red states. >> and what do you think the most important race will be? what senate race are you most focused on? >> i'm partial because i'm from ohio. i do think that could be one of those races -- >> do you think tim ryan can pull it off. i think in arizona potentially as well. i mean, i'm partial to ohio. >> and ohio is nfascinating to watch where democrats did not put a lot of money. we are live in ohio where president trump is going to take the stage for t.d. vance. plus, we are live in pennsylvania where the candidate john fetterman is suing to have what could be tens of thousands of undated and misdated ballots counted. we'll have the details there. and a cnn exclusive. speaker of the house nancy pelosi for the first time revealing to anderson cooper how she learned about the violent attack on her husband.

all right. this is a live picture of ohio. that is where the former president donald trump is about to hold his final rally about election day. there is speculation he could use that stage on your screen to announce his 2024 presidential campaign. sources telling cnn trump has been gathering advice from close friend and advisers all day, which he loves to do, after saying this last night. >> in order to make our country successful, safe and glorious, i will probably have to do it again but stay tuned. stay tuned to tomorrow night in the great state of ohio. stay tuned. we have a big rally there. >> well, kristen holmes is there, outfront of that rally. what is the latest you're hearing? >> obviously we know donald

trump likes a good tease but some of his campaign managers are unsure what he's going to do. he believed he deserved to be there if there was a red wave. i talked to a number of trump advisers who say they are urging not to use tonight to announce. they want him to wait until after the mid term. we have reported that trump wants to announce as soon as possible, eyeing those days between the mid terms and thanksgiving to get out that announcement on a third presidential bid. whether or not he announces tonight, trump has managed to do what he generally always does, which is turn the entire focus of the republican party on him, even on a night before an election in which he's not on the ballot. >> thank you very. trump will be speaking there tonight. the panel is back with me.

scott, do you really believe -- we all know he loves to do this. he wants everyone to watch and he wants to tease it up and dangle it out. he's running up against a clock in terms of possible indictment, d.o.j. do you believe he'll announce tonight? >> i'm surprised he not already in the race. >> or he wants to want to run. you think he really wants it? >> by the way, trump has the money, he's got the institutional backing, he's got a team. you know, he's got roughly half the party that says they want him back. there's a lot of tactical reasons to go in and do it now and try to force everyone else as you hand. if they're not ready to go in, he could soak up all of it. in ohio, it's one of his best states. >> he just went to florida, and he had nothing to do with ron

desantis, who is now his nemesis. and high e slams desantis. >> there he is, trump at 71, ron des des desanctimonious at 10%. >> there it is, rolled out, as his name isn't on the ballot, he's hitting the incumbent governor of a state while campaigning for an incumbent senator. there's also been this undercurrent of real republican donor and support for ron desantis as the trump stopper. and there's been a chosen amnesia among the republican donor class as how destructive trump can be to anyone who challenges him. so this is actually quite a nice reminder, i think, that is ron desantis -- he's young, he's got

a future ahead of him. is he going to want to be the trump stopper and be destroyed by trump? if trump gets in tonight or six days or 14 days, he freezes the field in a way in a no other republican can do. it makes somebody like ron desantis think do i really want to do this? maybe he does. he can lie in wait for a little while and see what happens. ryan goodman comes on this show every day, our legal analyst, and he said that trump's announcement if he were to do it tonight could cause the department of justice to make sure it reaches a decision on indictment sooner rather than later. he could speed up the clock here. the minute he runs, you've heard the rnc say they're going to stop paying his legal fees, you know he doesn't want to pay his own legal fees. what do you have make of his timing? >> it's consistent with the narcissist that he is when he wants to make it all about himself. we didn't see scott say, yeah, i

want him to declare tonight. no republican wants him to declare tonight. it's alleged incentive for the legal jeopardy he's in. he's saying i'm going to run and say you're politically persecuting me for simply pursuing justice. here's the thing. i hope d.o.j. and what everyone recognizes is all you need to do is enforce the law, without fear or favor. whether it needs to come with a special counsel or not. that kind of attempt to intimidate people from pursuing basic equal justice under the law cannot succeed. and trump's in some ways on the ballot anyway because it's going to be seen as a vindication. >> absolutely. this also puts president biden in an immediate situation, okay. if trump announces today or tomorrow or in the next few days, biden can't sit around and wait for a few months. he's got to come out and say is he running. >> yeah. i don't think he has to make a

decision this week, but i do think if trump announces tonight, if i was biden and every democratic candidate to john's point, i would be doing aggressive tv, buying ads, doing anything i can to say you can see who the people on the ballot were in your state. i think biden will have to decide something sooner than later. we know election results won't be finalized, though, tomorrow night. so maybe wait and see -- >> do you really think he cannot run if trump does, psychologically? >> they're magnets for each other. >> yeah. >> joe biden, i think donald trump has no self-control. i think president biden does. i think donald trump may get on that stage tonight and lose his mind like he has done so many times and announce. i think joe biden will say it's time for the people to decide

what they want and let folks vote tomorrow and let the votes be counted and let these races be called but if trump runs, i do think biden will run. >> and then you freeze both fields? >> i'm sorry, this is like another alien versus predator movie. i don't know which side is going to win but i know humans lose. nobody wants this. nobody wants this. >> no, this is not the matchup that america wants, okay, and i think there will be some republicans who have got the stones to stand up to donald trump, even if it's just mike pence and chris christie and we'll see on the democratic side. i would hope that joe biden does not feel that he is honor bound to run if donald trump does because that's not necessarily in the interest of the country. democrats have a problem with the depth of the bench but let's be real about that. that kind of matchup does not serve the united states well in the long run, it seems to me.

>> when you say democracy is on the ballot, it is incredible that on the eve of this the former president turns it to himself and the presidency. john fetterman is suing to have undated and misdatedba ballots counted. plus another cnn exclusive. speaker of the house nancy pelosi revealing how she learned her husband, paul, had been attacked. >> bang, bang, bang, bang, bang on the door. so i run to the door and i was very scared. i see the capitol police and they say we have to come in. >> anderson will be "outfront" with more of his interview. designed to hehelp you keep more of what you earn. ththis is the planning effect. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh...

and you can see of the more than 1 million ballots already cast, the majority of those were sent in by democrats. the "philadelphia enquirer" reporting that will likely mean thousands if not tens of thousands net votes for fetterman could be rejected. control of the senate could hinge on this very volatile race. oz and fetterman are neck and neck. let's go straight to kate bouldan. you were able to confirm thousands, if not tens of thousands of ballots could be impacted. what more do you know? >> this is an issue in at least three county that we know so far. 3,400 ballots in philadelphia county, more than a thousand mail-in ballots in allegheny county, and a couple hundred ballots at least in monroe county. what the issue is is the state rule that requires that for

mail-in ballots people have handwritten dates on these ballots when they ran them in. the state supreme court ruled if they are wrongly dated or missing a day, those ballots cannot count and will not count and will be thrown out. this has had election officials scrambling, putting the names out publicly and get them to come in in time to fix their ballots and that's why fetterman has tried to make the case that these ballots be counted in time to not have them thrown out. early voting is disproportionately used by democrats over republicans and the fetterman campaign are very concerned over what just a few thousand ballots being thrown out, especially in philadelphia county, what it could mean likely, if you're a betting man, that it would hurt fetterman

more than the oz campaign. mehmet oz is getting ready to take the stage before final votes are counted tomorrow. >> i want to bring in david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama. look, these are the wrinkles that in this case and in other states may not be wrinkles. the entire thing could hinge upon something like dates, these things that seem to be tiny or mistakes seem to be quite amplified. one person was saying if oz beats fetterman, that's it. >> there are several incumbent democrats in jeopardy here. they need to pick up a republican seat somewhere and pennsylvania seems like the most likely opportunity for them to do that. that's why, erin, $160 million

of advertising has gone into that state. this is i think in the eyes of both parties the essential race. >> i mean, it is stunning. when you think about the amount of money. truly, jeff zeleny used the word extraordinary. it is extraordinary. >> some would say obscene. >> i actually agree with both. >> i used to make those ads and i'll say that. >> kevin mccarthy, the republican leader, believes that republicans are likely to take back the house. here's his rationale. >> i see more competitive races than i've seen at any given time. i see democrats spending money on seats that biden won by 20 points. new york. why is it competitive? cost of living, crime, inflation, the lost learning through covid. >> look, he just went through a bunch of issues that matter to tens of millions, many -- hundreds of millions of americans.

was it a mistake for democrats to cede so many of those issues? >> yes. he went through the issues they're emphasizing and he thinks favors republicans but they're important issues and democrats i think should have engaged more vigorously on those. i think there was this attitude that we've got better issues that work for us, abortion rights being one of them and so we'll emphasize those. but you can't decide for people what's important to them. and so i think when the economy is so central to people's lives that the democrat party had an argument to make and make it as vigorously or in as timely a way as perhaps they should have. >> and maybe i'm using the wrong word choice, here on the fly, there's an arrogance or maybe it's covid learning or teaching -- >> or maybe an assumption that abortion rights and stir the country after the dobbs decision was enough to tip the scales.

i think there was an overreliance on that issue. >> yup. so today biden and obama appeared together in a short video basically saying go out and votes. democrats in close races have been relying on obama, he's been in a lot of crucial neck-and-neck races. biden has not been. he's in maryland, it's a very safe race for democrats. how telling is it that obama is the one that democrats want when their seat is really at risk? >> i heard my friend scott jennings address this a little bit earlier and i agree with him. it's not unusual. back in 2010 barack obama wasn't getting as many invitations when he was the incumbent president and people were unhappy with the state of the economy. that's the nature of politics. bill clinton was the guy people were calling to come then. so it's not unusual but it is a measure of the fact that joe

biden is not popular right now and that has been a millstone for a lot of democrats. >> all right. david axelrod, thank you. next, anderson will join with more of his exclusive interview with the speaker of the house and how the attack will affect her future in congress. >> will your decision be impacted by the attack in any way? >> yes. >> it will? >> so you'll hear more of that. plus, we just talked about that lawsuit over ballots in pennsylvania. in georgia, a key county, extending the deadline for key ballots. how much will that delay the call for who wins the race for senator there? gabe sterling will be "outfront" tonight. effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more e restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number.

tonight, quote, i never thought it would be paul. in a cnn exclusive, speaker of the house nancy pelosi sat down with anderson cooper for their first interview since her husband was brutally attacked with a hammer in their san francisco home. she described when she first heard about the attack. >> i was sleeping. it's washington, d.c., i had just gotten in the night before from san francisco. and the, um -- i hear the

doorbell ring and think it's 5 something. it must be the wrong apartment. it rings again and then bang, bang, bang, bang on the door. so i run to the door. i see the capitol police and they say we have to come in to talk to you. i'm thinking my children, my grandchildren. i never thought it would be paul. i knew he wouldn't be out and about, shall we say. and so they came in at that time. we didn't even know where he was. >> anderson is "outfront." she's very emotional there. >> yeah. >> you can really see -- >> a number of times during the interview she got emotional and had to pause. obviously this is an incredibly difficult time for her, her family, her kids, her grandchildren. she had just been in san

francisco yesterday on sunday, she flew back to washington last night. she felt she has to be in d.c. but her heart is still in san francisco and wants to get back there as quickly as possible. the interview goes on for some 20 minutes. she talks about returning to the house for the first time and paul pelosi also returning to the house for the first time since the attack and that was difficult. and she also talked about her future. i asked her about her future plans. obviously there's a lot of questions. there's been a lot of speculation about will she -- if the republicans take over the house, will she resign? you know, she's running again this year, obviously tomorrow, but will she resign? i didn't even ask her that because she's not going to answer that question obviously. but i did want to see what might be influencing her decision and tell me whether or not she has made a decision. >> let's listen to a little bit

of what she said in that exchange. here it is. >> there's obviously been a lot of discussion about whether you'd retire if democrats lose the house. i know you're not going to answer that question so i'm not even going to ask that question. >> i'm glad. >> but i will ask, can you confirm that you've made a decision about what you would do? >> that's like asking the question, isn't it? >> i'm not is asking what the decision is. i'm just asking have you looked ahead and made a decision in your mind, whatever that decision might be? >> i have to say my decision would be affected by what happened in the last week or two. >> will your decision be impacted by the attack in any way? >> yes. >> it will? >> yes. >> that's interesting, anderson, in that exchange with you. i know joking is too strong of a word. but then when she did answer it,

she was still a little emotional there, i felt like watching her face. >> and the way she answered it, it does leave it open. she's saying the attack will have an impact on her decision, whether she's going to resign or not. does that mean she is going to resign, she doesn't want to be part of this anymore, she wants to be with her family? or does it mean it has steeled her resolve to stay in congress. >> at first i thought the former when i first heard it and then i thought maybe it's sort of -- >> we shall see. >> we shall see. >> it's a 20-minute conversation. i've never seen her like this before. don't miss the first conversation with nancy pelosi in just a few minutes starting at 8. the mad dash for votes in georgia, there is a crucial

all right, these are live pictures, georgia, a herschel walker rally where the control of the senate could be decided. herschel walker is about to speak at that rally in these final hours before the polls open for election day. just hours after senator warnock rallied in columbus. georgia is one of the only states in america where if you don't get 50% of the vote, the election heads into overtime and none of us want that to happen. to prevent this campaign from going another four weeks, there's one thing to do -- vote. president trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and

so poignantly and accurately warned of violence. so the reason georgia -- here we go again, neck in neck, in control of the senate and the state. you just heard the senator explain runoff. you gotta have 50%. someone gets 49, 44, that is no good. do you think signs on the ground are pointing to a winner tomorrow or does this go to ?rownd. >> lord, erin. don't put me on the spot that way. i mean, we've got 2.5 million georgians voting in record turn-outs, showing up in the early voting and absentee voting, we expect maybe 2 million more tomorrow and it's completely up to them. i'm not gonna lie, i'm hoping kind of like you that we have it done one way or the other but it may not be the case. as we've got the rules and laws in georgia, if you don't get a 50%, we go four more weeks. >> four more weeks. i hope everybody just heard that. that's what we could be waiting on if this comes down to georgia.

now complicating this and coming in. -- i -- some of whom may be voters in georgia i hope. the reason they did that, gave us, you know, of course is that the balance is due to procedural errors. right, so if they're mailed out yesterday, they can't return them tomorrow night by 7:00 p.m. the deadline. so those have until november 14th. so i know anything's possible, but do you think it's reasonable to think that your race literally could come down to this 50% margin to these thousand votes in cobb county? >> it could, but the good news is it's about 300 of those people already voted in person early so we're down to about 700 and 400 were friday. only today an additional 276 were added to the mix, and they're gonna be here at the same time that we have the other three items that can be extended

out, absentees getting cured, professionals being -- provisionals being verified and militaries overseas, if they're postmarked by tomorrow, they can be accepted. so it's not really a change in time you'll see the certifications done. normally it would be friday but because of veterans day it'll be monday the 14th. so we're not really losing anytime, thankfully. >> that is crucial, and i think everyone is glad to hear that. so i want to talk about turn-out. you're safe, and i know you were just saying as we were getting ready for this interview. the weather looks great tomorrow. no rain, 80 degrees, hopefully everybody can go out who hasn't already voted and have their voice heard. you've already seen record-setting early voting though this year in georgia. the early voting numbers were amazing. almost map the turn-out in the 2020 presidential election. -- match the turn-out. this is a hugely significant thing to say and on friday which

was the last dave early voting i know turn-out was 6% higher than the 2020 presidential election year. that is stunning. what do you think is drive driving this? >> well, i think for the last couple of cycles, we saw governor kemp win by 55 -- 15,000 votes and president biden won over 11,000 in 2020, i think georgians more than most people in the country understand the weight of their having to vote. if you're voting from colorado over california or florida, you're in a wharf part sanship but in georgia your vote actually really matters. the infamous phone call where the former president said just give me 11,000 votes, right. he and rudy giuliani who tried to overturn the elections 2020

are already raising doubts about tomorrow. here they are. >> we're just two days away from the most important midterm election in american history. and we know a landslide so big that the radical left cannot rig it or steal it. >> they had the results in france in eight hours if we can't count the vote in eight hours, start wondering. >> well, thank you, everybody. >> of course that's an absurd thing to say not how this is gonna go because it's not how it should go, it's not how you count. you were right, you warned that trump in 2020, that those efforts could lead to someone being hurt or killed. people were hurt and killed. right? january 6th happened. do you feel a sense of deja vu as we're voting now? >> it's unfortunate to hear, that especially with rudy saying if it goes more than eight hours. like i just said, there are three days for ballots coming in our state legally and according

to the national registration act that's true across the country for those with military and overseas ballots. so frankly i just wish we had people who were grown-ups and said, look, if i lose, i lose. i come back in two or four or six years and fight again. that's the way it worked for 200 years in this country. and i think we've seen that for the most part, so i'm hopeful that we'll have one of the things we say in elections is, high turn-outs and wide margins. hopefully we see that tomorrow but it's up to the voters. >> and if we don't have wide margins let's hope we have some gracious people, right. david mccormick when he seated the primary in pennsylvania, he set the tone. thank you so much, appreciate it, gabe. >> and coming up next, an american has died on the battttlefield...
