san francisco's leadership is failing us. that's why mark farrell is endorsing prop d. because we need to tackle our drug and homelessness crisis just like mark did as our interim mayor. mark farrell endorsing prop d, to bring the changes we need for the city we love. candidates spending their closing hours warning each other -- voters about each other's -- each other. so far more than 72 million americans have already cast their vote in this historic early close race. with just 48 hours until election day we have a brand-new polls from the new york times and siena college of they are giving us a last-minute snapshot of just how razor tight this race is. those polls showing no clear leader in almost every battleground state. you see there, in georgia, michigan and pennsylvania the numbers are tied. former president donald trump has already held the first of three rallies. in three different states. he started his day in battleground pennsylvania. he will end the day in the swing states of georgia. moment now he is
11:02 am
scheduled to speak at a campaign rally in michigan. more than 4 million people have already voted . at his pennsylvania rally earlier trump said he never should have left the white house after he lost the 2020 election. >> we have been working for nine years. we did a great job . we had the best economy ever. we had the wall. we had everything. i built over 500 miles, they don't even talk about the wall, but we had the best border come the safest border. i won't pull down my worlds paper chart, because i don't want to waste a lot of your time. the my worlds favorite chart done by the border patrol. it said who had the safest border in history of our country the day that i left. i shouldn't have left. >> alina train is covering the trump campaign for us . alina, we just heard that clip from what he said earlier. he also continue to talk about the
11:03 am
election being stolen and rigged without any evidence. what more are we hearing from the former president in these closing hours of the campaign? >> reporter: that moment of him saying, really admitting he felt he shouldn't have left the white house after his election loss, that was just one of several off script moments . really, i think, probably troubling moments for the campaign. that does not want this to be his closing argument with just two days left until election day per specifically about that clip that you play where he said i should have left the white house, catching himself and moving on. i covered donald trump when he was in the white house a little over four years ago and that is in line with what he had told advisers immediately after his election loss. he had said he didn't believe that he should have to leave the white house . that they would be able to remove him. this is kind of him sharing publicly some of what we know , some of his private conversations were from that . he also said a number of other
11:04 am
very inflammatory things at that pennsylvania rally. one of those things was, as you mentioned, he aired a series of grievances against his opponents . he also talked a lot about the unfounded claims of election fraud that he believes they are finding in this upcoming election. of course, things that we just do not know our true right now. he also made a very violent comment about the media. this is being framed by the trump campaign as a joke. he essentially said , what he was talking about, the bulletproof glass that was in front of him at that rally, he then mentioned that if someone tried to shoot donald trump again , referencing that first assassination attempt on his life, that they would have to shoot through the media first. i want you to listen to exactly how he put it. >> i have a piece of glass over here. and i don't have a piece of glass they are. i have this piece of glass here. . we have really over here is the fake
11:05 am
news, right? and to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news . and i don't mind that so much. i don't mind. >> reporter: i don't mind that so much, he said. look, the trump campaign has already issued a statement on this. i have to say this up front, that is a pretty blatant attempt at spinning what donald trump said . this is what stephen chung, one of donna trump's campaign advisers told us. he said, quote, president trump was brilliantly talking about the two assassination attempts on his own life . he went on to say that the president's statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the media being harmed. he then went on to say that in fact, president trump was stating that the media was in danger and that they were
11:06 am
protecting him and therefore, were in great danger themselves . adding that he was actually looking out for their welfare. i kind of jumped around in that statement. again, this is not what donald trump had said. you heard exactly what he said. just played that, that he was making this joke and saying i don't mind. one thing i want to mention about that and why this is important is because this kind of rhetoric, this violent rhetoric that donald trump has been using, include when he virtual liz cheney just a couple of days ago saying that maybe they should line her up and shoes some barrels at her, i mean, this is the type of rhetoric that is really largely turning a huge population of this country's voters off from donald trump, specifically women. that is a huge concern for the trump campaign. particularly as they are looking at this early voting data showing women are outpacing men and also favoring kamala harris. i guess we will see what he says in a few moments when he takes the station behind me. this is not the closing argument i know the campaign has been wanting him to deliver.
11:07 am
>> as you just so eloquently outlined, so often with him he says things and then they want to shy away from it or try to spin it another way. but you played that clip, that is what he said. thank you so much, alina train. vice president kamala harris is spending her day painting in the key blue wall state of michigan. she started at a church service in detroit . over the next several hours she plans to make several other campaign stops in that state for holding a rally tonight in east lansing. she took a brief break from the campaign trail last night, making a surprise stop in new york city for an appearance on saturday night live. >> kamala, take my paul mueller. the american people want to stop the chaos >> and and the drama. >> what do we keep saying? keep kemal and carry on all all. >> michigan a key battleground
11:08 am
state. what is a campaign saying about her closing message to voters and her decision to stop by saturday night live last night? >> reporter: clearly, she had fun with this. my sense of why they agreed to it is not only did she have the opportunity to showcase a bit of her personality to voters that may not know her, but also , a nice moment for the entire campaign team who is traveling with her. she is battleground michigan today to -- because it is the blue wall that perhaps presents the cleanest possible path to victory for the vice president. not only has she been trying to make appeals to arab-american voters, she has also been leaning on the diverse voters that make up union voters here in this state. unions, of course, such an important organizing force in this state of course, she has been making very strenuous appeals to black voters as well. that's why she was at a black church this morning where she seemed to be moving away from litigating specific policy matters at this late stage she is instead making this broader character
11:09 am
argument, asking voters to ask themselves what type of person they want to see in the white house. take a listen. >> what kind of country do we want for our children and our grandchildren? a country of chaos, fear and hate or a country of freedom, justice and compassion? and the great thing about living in a democracy, as long as we can hold onto it, is that we have the power , each of us, to answer that question. >> reporter: of course, she was in church , so this was not an overly lyrical message. she did not mention the former president by name, but she is clearly leaning on the faith-based community in this moment. she has faith leaders fanned out across the country as surrogates making the case for her. several stops here today in michigan , including a big rally tonight in east lansing. >> on the trail in detroit
11:10 am
thank you so much. i want to stay in michigan and bring in congresswoman haley stevens, a democrat whose district covers an area just north of detroit. congresswoman, thanks for being here. >> thank you. good to be here. >> we just laid out these final two days , where the candidates are. obviously, you are on the ground in michigan. this is your home state. what is your feeling right now, as someone who has lived through these last election cycles with really close races in michigan? >> look, i think in many respects the polling is giving us the accurate picture . that it didn't in 2020 and in 2016. it's a close election. it's a different type of election. and we are digging deep here as democrats i will tell you, the county i represent, oakland county, michigan, the suburbs where the soon to be president, i guess i should say, is spending some time has spent some time. it's going to come
11:11 am
out for her. she will when oakland county. what we are pushing for is to run up the score. and the coalition is absolutely incredible, jessica. these are individuals that are young people . sometimes first time voters. all the way up into their 40s. obviously, women are so prominent here in oakland county. apel are casting ballots where it's a woman for president, a woman for senate , a woman for congress. i'm on the ballot here in oakland county. and on down the line all the way to our state [ inaudible ]. >> i want to ask you too , michigan has a number of arab-american and muslim voters that both parties have been trying to target. moments ago harris was asked about this in detroit, is she has a closing message for them. i want to play a clip of that. >> on the subject of gaza , i have been very clear the level of death , of innocent palestinians is unconscionable. we need to end the war. and we need to get the hostages out .
11:12 am
as president of the united states i would do everything in my power to achieve that and a two state solution. palestinians will have the right to self-determination and security. instability in the region. >> congresswoman, how would you say that message is playing with those voters, a lot of whom are upset with the biden administration, with the vice president, on her stance on the israel-hamas war? >> we certainly can't ignore the deep pain that people are in, because of a war. a war that israel didn't start . but it war that has been going on for over a year now. it has been incredibly painful for jewish americans, muslim americans . what kamala harris is showing us is she is showing us exactly the leader she is going to be . thorough, consistent and firm. she has made it clear that iran is an enemy of the united states iran is also an enemy of israel .
11:13 am
and she is going to be tough on iran. she has also got a plan for how to end this war. as a member of the biden-harris administration , as the vice president, that this administration that has been so dogged about releasing the hostages, about standing by the u.s. israel relationship . but also showing compassion . that's not something that we've seen from to donald trump. he has just exploited this nightmare for personal gain while staying -- saying anti semitic things and inflaming tensions. we have a big group, a big coalition, engage action has endorsed kamala harris. that's a muslim american outreach group. just as very prominent jewish elected officials have endorsed her as well. where going to bring that coalition together . i will tell you, the times that i have had to speak with vice president harris about the conflict, she hasn't missed a beat. she hasn't missed a beat
11:14 am
at all, in terms of what it's going to take to bring these hostages home and what it's going to take to bring peace. >> i want to go back to michigan more broadly before we let you go. our poll oppose -- polls show michigan with no clear leader at this point. this is a polling that averages out, 48 for harris, 46 for trump. in your opinion, what you think the difference maker is going to be here? >> i think it's going to be integrity. i think it's going to be positivity and vision . look, both candidates are talking about the economy. trump's economic message is a tariff only industrial policy that doesn't work for small businesses. that doesn't work for manufacturers. that doesn't work for our construction industry. this is no joke you see people who seem like they would be a part of the coalition of trump and they are not. because they are scared to death of these tariffs. you see mike johnson flirting with answering the chips act, which is invested in michigan, investing in michigan jobs. bringing manufacturing back here to the united states. something i was proud to work on in the congress. you've got
11:15 am
kamala harris thing, hey, not only do we need to make sure the chips act as a success, we need to build off of that, so we can do this in critical minerals . so we can have an investment strategy across our supply chain. so that we can bolster small business. and so we can have equal opportunity for everyone. i do think that's what's going to be the difference maker. it's the same old story with donald trump. he says the negative stuff and it makes everyone react to what he is saying. and then you got a visionary leader who has got a plan, got a to do list for the middle class and who's going to deliver on it on day one. women are going to make all the difference . look at these detroit members, jessica. truly, we had before early vote some of the highest rates of absentee ballot returns in the city of detroit . unprecedented. it is women. women of the uaw who are digging deep , who are going into these neighborhoods, who are bringing people to the polls we already have over 3.5 million people who voted in the state of michigan. and is not
11:16 am
even tuesday yet. >> we will get to tuesday . and then the people will tell us, for sure. congresswoman haley stevens, thanks so much for your time. tuesday is election night in america. from the first votes to the critical count no one covers it like cnn. special live coverage starts tuesday at 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. still to come, surprise new polling former president donald trump no longer leading in a state he won in 2016 and 2020. although, that poll is within the margin of error . it is very interesting. we will have a deeper look at the latest numbers. plus, the close house races that could decide who takes control of congress. stay with us.
11:21 am
as we close in on the end of this campaign season many americans have already made their choice for president. more than 72 million people have already cast pre-election ballots across 47 states and washington, d.c. the race remains tight , as it has always been. the last seen in polls before election day still show no clear leader. here with us now, senior political editor and correspondent for npr, domenico montiero. thanks so much for being here with us. >> glad to be here. >> we are two days out now. we have a number of final polls that flooded the zone this
11:22 am
morning. let's start first with your general sense of this race at this particular moment in time. >> it's close, right? it's as close as any election has been in modern american politics. i can't tell you when it has been this close this late . it just hasn't happened. obviously, we are watching those seven states that everybody is watching in the blue wall with wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania . in the sunbelt states with north carolina, georgia, arizona and nevada out west . it does seem like him a we have seen in the polling, trump is pulling away slightly in arizona. who knows? i think the big question that has been on a lot of people's minds is given that the polls have been off in the last two elections, you know, in understated trump support, there are a lot of democrats, a lot of democratic pollsters who are very concerned that this could mean that trump could win fairly easily. but the polling organizations have done a lot of adjustments they have made
11:23 am
some changes we are going to find out who is right and whether or not the polls are exactly what they are and it's 50-50 or if they have been wrong and are wrong again. >> we will get a winner at some point. we will have a winner. >> we will have real results at least starting on tuesday. >> that's right. we will actually hear results, which will be wonderful. before we leave polls, this new 21 -- new registered poll that came out last night is really getting a lot of eyeballs on it. you see it there with here is at 47 and trump 44. that is within the margin of error. by our standards, no clear leader in that poll. that is not necessarily the point. it is a reversal from the polling in september we also know that harris' support in this poll is fueled by independent women, women over 65 as well. what did you take away from this? everybody seems to have a take on this one. what's yours? >> well, i me, i really don't think trump is likely to lose ,
11:24 am
you know, and iowa. he won by nine points last topic i was interested in seeing here that there were nine percentage points of people who are still undecided. it's hard for me to believe that there are nine percentage points of people who are still undecided anywhere , given that the poll has been so tight. overall, though there hasn't been a lot of litter collectively in iowa. maybe some people that just don't want to say necessarily at this point, don't want to be pushed to say they're voting for him right now. not that this -- this is a good pollster and if it tells us anything, that women are up this much for harris maybe it could mean in some of those other similar states like wisconsin or michigan, that they are, you know, moving toward harris i think what we know is that at least from what the polls have been showing us, yes, it has been close. there's a big realignment that has been happening. white college educated voters moving more towards democrats. white nine college voters moving nor -- more towards republicans. and
11:25 am
being a more key factor in this election. 57 is a number that i think -- think people should watch on election night. that's a percentage points that democrats got in 2020 of women overall. it could be higher than that this time around if we have what is expected to be the widest gender gap in history. >> that gender gap is something to keep an eye on, for sure. always great to have you on. thanks so much. >> great to be here. the battle for control of the u.s. house will take you to a new york district flipped by the gop two years ago. credit flip back? -- could it flip back?
11:29 am
11:30 am
congressional district. new york state was key to powering republicans majority in the house. democrats would love to flip some of those seats that republicans flipped in 2022. what are you finding there in the 17th district? >> reporter: that's right. the path the powerful republicans or whether they lose that power could run through new york state and here in the 17th congressional district we are seeing evidence of exactly that. we are in rockland county of this district stretches all the way from here up north to dutchess county in the lower hudson valley. this is a district that president biden won in 2020 by roughly 10 points . but then two years later it was carried by republicans , congressman mike lawlor was able to flip the district. now we are seeing a face-off between lawlor and former number of congress come monday or jones. this is going to be likely a close race. just to give you an indication of how important the district is to republicans, house speaker
11:31 am
was here in the district last week campaigning on behalf of of mike lawlor as well as other republicans in different battlegrounds districts here across the state. because it could determine the balance of power, as you said. lawlor won in 2020 by fewer than 2000 points. one thing that has been interesting about this race here in the 17th congressional district is that at it has sort of been a race for the middle. lawlor has tried to tie his challenger, jones, to the democratic parties left wing , right? he has tried to say that jones is aligned with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez ellis as well as members of the squad in congress . while jones has tried to tie mike lawlor, of course, to former president trump and his policies. lawlor has tried to distance himself from the former president in some ways, specifically around the issue of abortion. we have
11:32 am
been here at this early polling location all morning. you can see that people are lining up . as you said, it is the last day of early voting. not just here in new york, but also across several states, including the important state of michigan and wisconsin. they are also in -- ending early voting in connecticut, new jersey, delaware and ohio. here in new york state more than 2.6 million new yorkers have already cast their votes early . many more will do so by election day next week . and millions of americans will have cast their votes by tuesday . as you can see, people are still showing up here to vote in this location. we do expect this race to be particularly close . >> it is one to watch. thanks so much. when we come back, as early voting winds down i will let you -- it election officials across the country are working
11:33 am
11:37 am
pennsylvania secretary of the commonwealth, al schmidt, said the state is investigating potentially fraudulent applications and lancaster county. this while donald trump continued to make unfounded claims at a campaign speech in pennsylvania today. >> they want to, they're fighting so hard to steal this thing. look at what is going on. look at what is going on in your state. every day , they're talking about extending hours and stuff. whoever heard of this stuff? we should have one day voting and paper ballots.
11:38 am
>> cnn's sarah murray has more on concerns pennsylvania's slower process of counting votes could fuel misinformation after the polls close. >> it is a real frustration. >> pennsylvania, pennsylvania. >> the odds that people are going to know who won pennsylvania on election night? >> reporter: 43 states allow election workers to start preparing mail-in ballots before election day to speed up the time it takes to count them. pennsylvania does not. >> it leads to a perception that the vote count is delayed in pennsylvania. no one's sitting around waiting. everybody is aware of how time sensitive and how highly scrutinized the election results are in pennsylvania. >> we want to get rid of mail-in voting . >> we know that there's going to be a lot of allegations. they are just not based on any truth whatsoever. >> how about pennsylvania where
11:39 am
they throw the poll watchers out? they throw them out. >> from the moment polls are close until the race can be called that window of time is the biggest opportunity for miss and disinformation to spread. >> we don't want them to find any ballot at 4:00 in the morning . >> it's like just after 6:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. we are headed to the elections warehouse in philadelphia. it's just a little bit of a preview of what's coming in november. >> they have figured out a way to expedite the process, because they get a lot of heat when it takes a while. >> it's despicable what they did election night. we will not accept was going on. absolutely not. >> this is a special election, so maybe 5000 mail-in ballots . much smaller than what we are going to see in november. it gives you an idea of the process. >> that process, and i know as
11:40 am
an election a ministry to myself for 10 years, takes time to do it right, to review the envelope, to make sure the voters signed it and date it. to open that envelope, extract the secrecy envelope, two open the secrecy, flatten the ballot before you count a single bull. >> there's no reason those steps could happen before election day, other than this law. >> it does not benefit any candidate it does not benefit any party. >> reporter: in 2022 the pennsylvania state legislature increased funding to cover the cost of elections. but thanks to lyrical gridlock in the state capital attempt to change the law preventing mail-in ballots from being prepped ahead of time have failed. >> we would be able to finish on election day if all we had to do was do the scanning portion. >> the election workers are just getting started out at the end of their. they bring in these trays of balances our by reviewing that outer envelope, looking for the date, the signature. and then they are going to move step by step through the warehouse from their. >> haven't been here for the
11:41 am
2020 election than having every election worker i talked to say we wish we could open these mail-in ballots earlier, to be here again four years later and have ever election worker i talked to say the same thing , like it just seems crazy that it wasn't fixed . yeah. this is not a partisan issue. you have read counties and blue counties all asking for the same thing. it really comes down to a matter of does the legislature have the will to pass the law that most other states already have or not? >> ari hopeful that the legislature is suddenly going to remedy this issue? >> no. i don't think so. >> this is called a flattening. they are literally taking the ballot and flattening them to make sure they're ready to go into the machines. >> you are republican, why do you think there is so much mistrust of the mail ballot system in the republican party at this point? >> i think it just comes down to the fact that the former president said that the ballots can't be trusted and therefore, people don't trust them. >> the mail-in voting isn't working. it's corrupt. . counting votes takes time. and
11:42 am
not knowing the results on election night is not a sign of anything that's wrong. it's a sign that the election workers are still doing their job. >> still doing their job. sarah murray, thank you for that. survey in georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger debunking a video that appear to show a haitian immigrants multiple georgia i.d.s are calling that, quote, like the the production of a russian troll farm. i want to bring in brett schaefer, a social media analyst and medications officer for the lines of securing democracy. thanks so much for being here with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to start first with the georgia secretary of state sing this week that viral video was very possibly the result of foreign meddling. which is deeply concerning , but not necessarily will be surprising. >> it's not surprising at all. this is actually one of a few different cases we've seen in the last week where the intelligence community has come out and said the russian operatives are behind videos that have attempted to show some sort of fraud in u.s. elections . there was another
11:43 am
case in pennsylvania that seemed to show election workers ripping up ballots there. again, these have been definitively attributed to the russians . it shows the russians understand the real fault line in our election is our trust in the actual administration of the election. >> right . so, look, we were just outlining it in that piece before you as well. there is what we see in the lead up to election day, but then election day and whatever period might exist between election day and when we know the winter, there are real concerns about misinformation, disinformation spreading. what are your biggest concerns around that? >> yeah. when i started this job back in 2018 that was my first sort of major u.s. election. our biggest period of concern was before the election. because that, of course, is what would affect somebody's votes . but then now we also have to look at the election period itself, because that affects people's confidence in the process. period after the election, because that affects people's confidence in the results.
11:44 am
actually, it's sort of flipped now. we are most concerned about election day in the days after , of course, because everything we have seen over the last four years. we are already starting to see the information environment shipped no longer is the disinformation really targeting the candidate where the party for the policies. it's now flipping to the process. we are seeing things like vote-rigging, ballot stuffing, concerns around mail-in ballots, drop boxes, all of these things we've seen over the last four years, we are seeing once again. >> it really just undermines the fundamental tenets of our democracy, which is free and fair elections . we have done so many reports showing these election workers who are just public servants trying to make sure everything is perfect and right. and i know you have talked about what if there is just an honest mistake that's made? that could really be exposed and really just presented in a fraudulent light on social media. >> exactly. the weaponization of honest mistakes is one of my
11:45 am
biggest concerns. there are thousands of different election jurisdictions . all of them are run by humans. so there will be some human errors. there will also be things that are totally out of the control of election workers. a printer will break down. something what work. there will be some process that gets screwed up a little bit. most of these things are correctable. they are not a big issue. when they are weaponized on social media, when they are presented as, see, this is evidence of widespread fraud, that's where the problem comes in. the second thing i'm really concerned about are people who are going to show up to the polls naturally try to test the system. they might try to get into confrontations with election workers. they are hoping these confrontations will go viral, because they can say our vote is being suppressed. there is some illegal have -- activity happening using that to create this perception that there is widescale fraud that's happening in this election. >> while all of that is happening , x, of course owned by elon musk who continues to spread a number of lies and
11:46 am
disinformation on his own platform, but x has eliminated most of its content moderation staff meta has decreased the visibility of politics on facebook and instagram. there are corners of these platforms , pieces of these platforms, that are hotbeds for conspiracy theories. you have what you're talking about and then you now have this platform for them to spread so quickly. >> no question. the calculus i think of the platforms in 2020 was a needed to be really ramped up and ready for election miss and disinformation, because they didn't want a repeat of 2016. that calculus has changed now. their political consideration is is more advantageous for us to be seen as not censoring or over moderating content . i think they're largely going to be hands off around this election. i think the one bright spot is election officials are far better prepared to fight some of this stuff. it wasn't like they were prepared for miss and disinformation in 2020, but i don't think they were as prepared to fight back from it communications standpoint. i
11:47 am
think election officials really understand they not only need to administer a great election, they need to communicate that out, because you can't rely on the platforms to be taking over moderating content that's just not going happen this time around. >> it's amazing to see how many steps they have taken to increase transparency, that sort of thing , really come up with a communication plan. brett schaefer, so much thank you for walking us through that. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up, former president bill clinton sits down with cnn for an exclusive interview. his hopes and fears on what comes after the 2024 election. that's next. also also, vessel programming tonight . it all starts with wolf blitzer in the situation room at 5:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn.
11:52 am
11:53 am
trim politics. i think would be a travesty [ inaudible ] >> senior reporter isaac olvera has more on his exclusive interview with president clinton isaac, what advice has he shared with harris and what more did he tell you? >> that's right. we were riding on a bus last wednesday in western michigan. clinton really doing a whole lot of campaigning . more frequent on the trail then harris or trump or j.d. vance or tim walz or barack obama or joe biden. he is really out there making the case for her on economics what he has said , his advice for her is if she wins , what he told me is he wants her to look toward how she can make a deal with republicans, find the conservatives who are ready to stand up. what he said was for conservative principles on things they can agree on. and find ways to tell the progressive flank that it's
11:54 am
okay to make deals. and that will be part of it. one of the things he talked to me about also is that he, looking back on nafta, on other things he did during his presidency, that in the end weren't so popular, is that she has to do a better job of explaining to people why she's making deals. then bill clinton, of course the famous triangular enter -- triangulate later themselves, feels like he did and has caught up with him over the years. >> he also believes that she can win. but he did express some fears, i understand, surrounding the election, to you. what did he say? >> i said to him, as we were pulling into battle creek michigan, i said to him, listen, imagine it's wednesday morning or whenever election is called, we don't know how long will take for the count to be done, and you hear that trump won or harris won. what would your reaction be to either one of those ? what he said to me is, if trump wins him he said, i don't know what i'm going to think. but that he would get back to the work of doing his foundation. and try to get that
