when i sat in the room like that i never thought i would be in harrisburg in a diner with folks and how familiar they felt to me, like people that i grew up with. i think that is the beauty of this thing. it's lost in all the noise. this is truly a remarkable thing that we do every four years. i would argue we could probably do it better, but those are questions for other things and other elections, but it is democracy. it is messy and beautiful. for me just like confidence. reporter: [indiscernible] gov. walz: i think that is something i have never done. i feel like as a candidate, my job is to talk to everybody. there are people that will know this. steve carnegie gets paid to do it. like the rest of you. i will simply go now. we will go and do some more radio calls, then we will get back together and our team will start putting those numbers together. but i'll i'm with this, there is only -- i will end with this,

this is the time when there is a privilege in this country and a responsibility. get out and vote. exercise that freedom. choose what you know is right. the opportunity of hopefulness and unity and forward-looking, we are going to turn the page here. thank you all. [reporters shouting questions] journal. -- welcome to the washington journal. headlines from the national papers. the wall street journal says, "tight race hits finish line." the new york times, "worry and hope unless they are voting." the washington times, "trump era to mark new beginning or end." the washington post, "historic race down to the wire." vice president harris was making her final pitch yesterday.

here is what she said about the economy and reproductive rights. [video] >> together we will build an economy where we bring down the cost of living. we will be on corporate price gouging on groceries. we will make housing and childcare more affordable. we will cut taxes for workers, for middle-class families and small businesses. we will lower health-care costs, including the cost of home care for seniors. because on the issue of health care, i absolutely believe access to health care should be a right and not just the privilege of those who can afford it. [cheers] and to anyone out there watching this while we are here who is still trying to get rid of the affordable care act and take us

back to the days when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions, well, philly, you know what i'm about to say. we are not going back. we are not going back. were not going back. [crowd chanting "were not going back"] ours is a fight for the future. and, -- and ours is a fight for freedom. including the most fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do. [cheers] and when congress passes the

bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the united states i will proudly sign it into law. host: former president trump also made his final pitch last night talking about foreign policy and immigration. here he is. [video] >> we will rebuild our cities, including our capitol in washington, d.c. which is in terrible shape with graffiti on the marble columns and painting the lions and burning the american flag. we will make our city safe and clean and beautiful again. we will work with democrat governors and mayors. we probably will have to annex ok. we will teach our children to love our country, honor history and always respect our great american flag. we will get critical race theory and transgender insanity the

hell out of our schools. and we will keep men out of women's sports. i will defend religious liberty. i will restore free speech and i will defend the right to keep and bear arms, our second amendment. after years of defending foreign borders and protecting foreign lands, we will finally be going to build up our borders, build up our country and build up and protect our citizens. [cheers] it is cold america first. we will put america first. we put america last. they put america last. we put america first. it doesn't mean we are into isolation. we are not. we are going to help the world but we have to straight ourselves out or we will not be able to help anything.

we will stop illegal immigration once and for all. we will not be invaded. we will not be occupied. we will not be overrun. we will not be conquered. we will be a free and proud nation once again. that will take place rapidly. everyone will prosper. every family will thrive. everyday be filled with the opportunity and hope and maybe above all the american dream will be back. it'll come back. we are bringing it back for your children. we are bringing it back for yourselves. host: tonight we will have all night coverage of election results. be sure to join us starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time live all night, briing you the results of the presidential election. we will get your reaction by phone of the evening's outcomes and each state is called in favor of either vice esident harris or former president

trump. we will follow all the state races that will decide the balance of power in congress. that is live coverage starting at 7:00 p.m. you ll want to watch that tonight. you can follow that on our app c-span now or online at c-span.org. we will go straight to your calls. to paul in lynchburg, virginia. a trump supporter. caller: good morning to you. can you hear me ok? host: yes. go ahead. caller: i have been voting for many years. i am 60 years old. what i have been hearing for this campaign and i've heard a lot from both sides but only from the republican side and donald trump have i heard what he is wanting to do. i know a lot of things are going to end of have nick get passed through congress. i have not heard kamala harris say a single thing about what she's going to do to change.

she says she will go in with the to do list. she said i have a to do list for the last four years and it has not gotten us in a good position. i feel that you have to weigh out what is better on both sides. both have an agenda. i feel like trump has more for us than harris is going to offer us. i feel like we will get four more years of joe biden through her. host: have you already voted in virginia? caller: i was the second person in line this morning. host: so you voted this morning? the polls only opened at 7:00. caller: yes ma'am. 7:00 here in lynchburg. host: here is charlie in minnesota, still undecided. caller: yes and no. i am not saying among decided. you know it is bad in the state

of minnesota? it is so undemocratic -- democratic. there are so many people and decided what to do -- undecided what to do. they feel if i vote republican my vote is going to count. it is something that probably needs to be looked at or redone or something. there are so many people up north, west, central, you name it, all around the twin cities and they are trump fans. you get down in the cities and we are talking carver, hennepin county. they have so many people that are voting democrat because they want a free ride. they want to be in a union and think the unions will save them and give them their job.

then you have the freeloader said getting free money. -- that are getting free money. host: have you voted or are you planning on voting today? caller: no. we won't be able to vote for another hour or two. i will say this. these electoral votes are not the way to go in the state of minnesota. it seems like everyone's votes don't count here because of the way to set up. i am going to vote. you know what? i pray we can get our america back. host: paul in long island, harris supporter. caller: good morning. thank you for making my call -- taking my call. i was a republican for 46 years. i had a meeting with trump. i have known him since 2006. i advised people to read project 2025.

when i needed assistance, democrats, including kamala helped me. no republicans did. i'm a republican for 46 years. if trump gets in, female rights and freedom will be done. regular people will pay more. only the rich will benefit. the problem with people who back trump, they don't really know trump. i have known him since march 2006. i had meetings with him. meetings with the vodka. -- ivanka. used slang words against women and hispanics and blacks. he conned me out at $24,000 of my pension. he cons his followers only so he can get recognition. also, republicans gave $5,000 to a drunk who killed a policeman, my father. regarding that border
