campaign any of us have ever covered. so that gives us the energy to go and keep on doing it. we hope you'll keep coming back here. we're back next sunday at 11:00 eastern with the latest buzz. hillary clinton and donald trump targeting the key battleground states as the clock is ticking down toward election day. yesterday mr. trump hit several states starting in historic gettysburg, pennsylvania, where he unveiled that plan for his first 100 days in office if he wins. mrs. clinton appeared in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, alongside her running mate, senator tim kaine. and today both campaigns swinging through other key states, florida and north carolina included, states that could prove decisive for the race for the white house. hello and welcome to america's election headquarters. >> hi, eric. i'm arthel neville.

donald trump will be holding a rally later in florida, considered by many pundits to be a must-win for the republican nominee while hillary clinton is barnstorming across north carolina. we have fox team coverage. rich is standing by in chappaqua, new york, hillary clinton's adopted hometown for the latest on her campaign. but we begin with peter doocy covering donald trump live in front of trump tower right here in new york city. so, peter, what is the trump team saying about their battleground state strategy now that we are in the homestretch, 16 days left in this race? >> reporter: arthel, it's really interesting. this morning we heard from the trump team just exactly how they think they can string together enough electoral college votes to win. >> our path is florida, ohio, iowa, north carolina. you add nevada there. you protect arizona and georgia. you look at new hampshire and maine too where the congressional districts there are split in the way they award their electoral votes and then we're also going to continue to visit colorado, virginia,

pennsylvania. >> reporter: trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway there also went on to say she thinks donald trump is doing a lot better with early absentee ballots than previous republican nominees. arthel? >> and, peter, before i let you go, i want to find out if you heard any reaction from mr. trump before the two americans who were just sentenced to prison in iran. >> reporter: we have, arthel, and donald trump just tweeted about an hour and a half ago that he doesn't think the iranians would be demanding what a lot of people are equating to ransom for the exchange of these americans if he was president. so he went on social media and he wrote this, quote, well, iran has done it again. taken two of our people and asking for a fortune for their release. this doesn't happen if i'm president. and it's interesting, iran was also mentioned by the rnc chairman reince priebus when he was rattling off a list of reasons he thinks hillary clinton is going to lose. >> she is the risky candidate. you look at russia, ewe rainian

deal. her pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars on speeches. russian reset, libya. iraq, and the message she left there. what i'm saying is she was tried and tested. she failed. she's too risky for this country. that's why she's going to lose. >> reporter: there's also been an la lot of talk about whether donald trump plans to accept the results of an election if he loses, and this morning we heard from his son, eric, who told abc news that his dad will 100% go along with the results if they know for sure that everything was carried out fairly on november 8th. >> peter doocy out there on the trump campaign trail there in front of trump towers on 5th avenue. thank you so much. eric? >> meanwhile, mrs. clinton is hitting the campaign trail in north carolina. that's where the real clear average of polls show she is up by nearly three points. her campaign is expanding the focus to help those down ballot

democrats. rich edison is live at chappaqua, new york. mrs. clinton also trying to motivate president obama's coalition that was so successful for him. >> good afternoon, eric. that's exactly the case in north carolina this afternoon. she's doing so in a state that president barack obama won narrow li in 2008, lost narrowly in 2012. if she can motivate much of the case, it could very well make the difference in 2016. she's meeting later this afternoon with the mothers of the movement. those are mothers whose children were killed in interactions with police officers. earlier this month she spoke at a largely african many con grow gati congregation following the police shooting death of an african-american man. she arrives in north carolina from pennsylvania where yesterday she criticized donald

trump for trump claiming he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her if he was elected president. >> every time donald trump says he wants to jail his opponent, meaning me, i think to myself, you know, we don't do that in america. we actually have laws and courts and an independent judiciary. >> after north carolina today it's back up north. she heads to new hampshire tomorrow to motivate the liberal base. she is campaigning with massachusetts senator elizabeth warren there tomorrow. >> a lot of democrats are saying they think they have a shot to take over the senate but the house is another matter because you have a 30-seat gap there. what are they saying? >> reporter: right. and they're pushing for that. the campaign manager on fox news sunday acknowledged the clinton campaign is helping with resources in governors' races and senate races. he noted indiana and missouri,

and clinton is also wrapping in many of those down ballot races in the events she's holding her. she tried to help katie mcginty. tried to tie toomey up to donald trump there. today we expect much of the same in north carolina. there's another con ttested clo race. richard bush is running against debra ross. there's about a three percentage point favor in the real clear politics average of polling for richard burr in that state. as you mentioned, they need four senate seats and the white house to take control of the senate, 30 to reclaim control of the house. >> all right, rich, we'll be talking about and examining whether or not the house and the senate, either, neither, or both are going to flip a little later on in the newscast. rich, thank you.

and this is a fox news alert. defense secretary ash carter is visiting northern iraq today as fierce fighting continues in mosul. carter is in irbiel, which is about an hour away from mosul for a closer look at the battle raging in iraq's second largest city. carter today speaking about the role of american troops in the mosul offensive. >> whether they're flying airplanes overhead or whether they're advising units on the ground, even behind the front lines they are at risk. it's also important everybody understands we must do this. we have to protect ourselves from isil. they intend harm to our country. >> and foreign correspondent conor powell is live from the middle east bureau with more. conor. >> reporter: ash carter meeting with kurdish peshmerga forces leaders in irbiel.

the town is only ten miles outside of mosul and it's yet another town kurdish and iraqi forces have taken control of. it represents a big mark in terms of this operation. it removes a significant area in terms of a road block, an obstacle for iraqi forces to push into there. fierce fighting does continue in many parts outside of mosul, and right now iraqi forces have yet to push into that main city. they're continue actually trying to take control to clear obstacles, to clear roadside bombs and ieds from the surrounding areas, and that continues. how many casualties the iraqi forces have taken so far is a bit unknown. we know at least 25 kurdish forces have been killed and some iraqis have been killed, but they seem to be making a lot of progress without too many deaths so far, and that's important because iraqi forces are trying to move slowly, trying to do this without a lot of damage to

the infrastructure in mosul and the surrounding areas. they want to keep as much of the infrastructure in place. secretary carter said while they are -- u.s. officials are sort of downplaying the success saying this still will take a long time, they are stressing that iraqi forces are making a significant amount of progress as they push in, that things are goinghan they had originally thought, but this operation is going to take a while. it is going to take some time, but they are making significant progress. now, one hiccup on this entire operation though, arthel, is there is still this unresolved dispute with the turkish forces that have taken up some space in iraq, about 500 or so, maybe 1,000 kurdish forces -- turkish forces rather have moved into iraq. they want to be part of the operation. the iraqis and the kurds do not want turkey to have any troops in mosul. >> it remains a complicated situation. conor powell, thanks so much. if mosul is liberated and

isis is defeated there, what next? former u.s. ambassador john bolten joins us now. he's a fellow at the american enterprise institute. ambassador, always good to see you. >> flad to glad to be with you. >> do you think the strategy, it seems to be working, will be successful. >> it may be working in the sense that iraqi and kurdish forces are advancing in and around mosul, but it's taken two years to get to this point, and i would have to say if you look at the shrinking territory in iraq that isis has withdrawn from, they have retreated over the past year or so in pretty good order, and they have ex filtrated already significant numbers of their forces inside mosul and those who are there for their extremist religious reasons i suspect are prepared to fight to the end. i think tactically the fall of mosul is only a question of time. the issue of how many innocent civilians will be killed and how many buildings will be left

standing and the overall casualties, very much up in the air. the bigger strategic picture is if the iraqi government resumes control of what used to be the country's second largest city, it will be a defeat for isis, but it will be a victory for iran because the iraqi government today is functionally a satellite of the government of iran, and it demonstrates, in my view, why the obama administration's strategy for defeating isis is fundamentally flawed. >> and in your view, what does that mean if, indeed, iraq, as you said, is a satellite of tehr tehran? >> well, the ayatollah s in tehran have been trying to expand their influence into an arc of power through iran, through a controlled government in baghdad, the assad regime in syria, hezbollah in lebanon, and they're opposed to isis obviously because it's a direct threat to their interests there. that's why i think the united states' strategy should have

been to with arab allies, with the kurds for sure, and in some way getting the turks involved if that were possible consistent with aiding the kurds to defeat isis that way. this is not a two-sided war. as you just heard from conor powell, the turks are in opposition to the kurds, and the iraqi government as well as to isis. this is about a five or six-sided war and our strategy should have been defeat isis as quickly and as decisively as possible in a way that minimizing the upside for iran. instead, we're doing a slow roll strategy against isis that, if successful, will maximize the benefit to iran. >> and the threat of iran and the danger of tehran controlling that, let me show you what "the washington post" says today about what we may need to do and what we face in this country going forward if, indeed, mosul falls. here is the editorial saying, ultimately victory over terrorist forces in iraq will require a sustained american presence, both military and

civilian, extending well beyond the liberation of mow cull. the president should be laying the groundwork for that now so that his successor can avoid mr. obama's signal mistake in iraq, a premature and self-defeating withdrawal. that, of course, a reference to his not being able to because of the statuses of forces agreement. he said keep 10,000 troops which donald trump says spawned isis in the first place. >> well, sustained american presence in iraq, how is that for a theory that's about five years too late? look, i don't think obama was thwarted in efforts to keep american forces in iraq by failure to reach a status of forces agreement. i think the failure to agree on a s.o.f.a. was just a pretext for him to get our forces out, which was his real objective right along. interestingly, hillary clinton, although as usual her stand comes in a number of different formulations designed for the audience she's speaking to, has basically said no boots on the

ground in iraq, which would directly contradict the advice she's getting from "the washington post." so i think obama may not withdraw americans before january the 20th, but if you listen to hillary clinton if what she says in this campaign means anything, i believe she will. >> well, finally, there are boots on the ground, 4,800 troops, 100 special ops, and i want to pay tribute to navy petty officer jason finan. he was 34. he leaves a 12-year-old son christopher and a wife. he lost his life on thursday by an ied. he was a bomb ordnance specialist. these are the brave men and women out there on the ground now, ambassador, facing isis, and so far there have been four american casualties. >> these americans really have died in the service of their country. this is the way americans are. even though they're supposed to be advising and assisting the iraqi forces, you can bet they're out there leading from the front when they can, and i

really think honesty to the american people dictates we get a new formulation. people say, well, there won't be boots on the ground. as you say, there are american boots on the ground. they're out there risking their lives for our country, and we need to be more respectful of the dangers that they face in iraq and in syria and elsewhere around the world while we're on the subject. >> and we salute them. anyone who is in harm's way and we had thank them. ambassador, thank you as always. good to see you. >> thank you, eric. >> thank you so much. meanwhile, renewed fighting in aleppo. activists say there has been an increase in shelling today between rebel fighters and government forces. now, this comes after the expiration of russia's three-day humanitarian cease fire. we're learning that temporary truce was not successful in allowing rescue workers to deliver supplies to the families who are trapped there. election day is still more than two weeks away, but many americans have already cast

their ballots. what we're learning as early voting gets under way. plus, as the clock ticks down in the race, the candidates are hitting and setting their sights on key swing states. a closer look at their strategies in the homestretch. ugh. heartburn. sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they don't taste chalky and work fast. mmmm. incredible. can i try? she doesn't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. she's noticing a real difference in her joint comfort... "she's single." ...and high levels of humiliation in her daughter. in just 7 days, your joint comfort can be your kid's discomfort. osteo bi-flex. made to move.

officials in pennsylvania say so far there is no sign a water supply source has been contaminated after flooding from a storm ruptured a gas pipeline. now, that break sending 55,000 gallons of gas into a tributary north of harrisburg. this image here shows where a sudden deluge of rain wiped out a bridge at the site of the spill, and crews are waiting for the water to recede so they can get to the pipes. the storm blowing in, an estimated seven inches of rain triggering mudslides, damages homes and killing one person when a tree fell on a house. >> just over two weeks before election day, early voting is in full swing in about a dozen states. now the first wave of numbers coming in giving us a glimpse of the state of the race on this

sunday. garrett is live in washington with more details. what did early voting turnout indicate? >> every election we see a greater number of americans are casting their votes before election day. this year early voting could account for as much as 40% of all votes cast. already more than 4.3 million votes have come in across the country, many of them in crucial swing states like north carolina. now in 2012 when mitt romney narrowly won the tar heel state, republicans held a wide margin over democrat in the number of mail-in ballots sent in. the clinton campaign is feeling confident this time around because that lead is much slimmer. and since in-person voting began on thursday, democrats are now leading in the number of votes cast overall. >> we believe over 40% of voters in the battleground states are going to turn out before election day, so this election is happening as we speak, and that ground game is there pushing our people out. >> reporter: in ohio

historically democrats have been very strong in early voting. currently though, there are concerning signs for the clinton campaign. the number of requests for early ballots are down significantly in several heavily democratic counties such as cuyahoga and franklin that are near cleveland and columbus. another encouraging sign for the trump campaign is the makeup of those who are requesting ballots. the share of white voters is up, who trump traditionally does well with in the polls. the share of black voters who tend to vote democrat in ohio is down. >> we look at some of the early voting returns in places like iowa and ohio, and we're doing much better than previous candidates in large part because we invested in the absentee ballot early voting procedures. >> reporter: and we should point out that at this point the numbers we have, it's a very small sample of the total votes that will be cast overall but it gives us a glimpse into where the race stands. this next week voters in ten mosh states will start to cast their ballots. both campaigns are continuing to

hit the ground hard to convince folks to get out and vote early. >> it's no longer election day. it's really election month in our country in many places. thank you, garrett. >> that's true. with a little more than two weeks away until election day, the presidential race turning into a chess match as both candidates hit the trail hard in key battleground states. jamie weinstein is here who is a senior writer for the daily caller and most of "the jamie weinstein show" podcast. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> before i start giving you my questions, i wanted to show a recent real clear politics poll because that's where garrett was talking about lots going on there in ohio with the early voting. you can see here that clinton has 44% with trump with a small lead at 44.6%. as you know, ohio with 18 electoral votes, jamie, clinton is closing in on trump, but he's

still in the lead in ohio. so, you know, besides an endorsement from lebron james as well as personally campaigning, that was huge, he's the king and they're the champs. >> yeah. >> and besides campaigning there herself, how does show hillary clinton beat trump in ohio and, on the other side, what policy promises does trump need to pound out in ohio to win that state? >> well, trump has been hitting on those themes about trade and bridging back jobs, manufacturing jobs, and that might resonate in some places in ohio which saw factories shut down, and they blame free trade for that. but ohio is one of trump's success stories right now. if you look at all the swing states, he's not doing very well in many places but ohio and iowa are places where he has at least small leads over clinton. so what you're showing right here is one of the bright spots for trump, but there are really very few bright spots if you look across all the swing states. >> well, i want to go to another swing state and that's

pennsylvania. want to show you another recent real clear politics poll there with clinton 46.4% to donald trump's 40.2% there. i mean, pennsylvania 20 electoral votes. trump made two stops there yesterday. clinton and tim kaine together also made two stops, pittsburgh and philly. pennsylvania voted democrat, as you well know, in the last six elections. so it's clinton's to lose. where is hillary clinton though vulnerable in pennsylvania? >> well, trump has hoped that he would be able to build a coalition of white working class voters across the rust belt from ohio to pennsylvania into michigan and wisconsin. so this is what his campaign has been hoping to flip pennsylvania, which as you mentioned is a state that's voted democrat for as long as i can remember, but, you know, as you mentioned, hillary clinton has a strong lead there. it's very hard to see how at this late hour trump flipping

that six-point lead but he really does need that state if he's going to have any chance of winning this presidential election. >> let's go to virginia now. 13 electoral votes there. another battleground state where clinton is in the lead. trump is competing. he's campaigning there. yesterday he was in virginia beach reaching out to the traditionally very reliable voting bloc for the republicans, the evangelical vote. so, jamie, i ask you how do the allegations of sexual misconduct ring through that group or will it matter? >> i think it hurts him everywhere, not just in virginia. virginia is it a state that's been trending over time more democratic, more -- obama had won that state in 2012. so it is a state that's been traditionally competitive. hillary clinton picked tim cairn there

-- kaine there as her vp, a native son of vir, aginia, and t helped a lot. there were some reports a couple weeks ago that the trump campaign had moved some of their assets out of the state almost conceding it to the clinton campaign. >> yes or no, is the race over, jamie? >> it's pretty close. you know, if you want to expand the swing states, you look at texas is now becoming a swing state, which is a state that never is in play. >> it's usually republican. >> there's now two poll that is show hillary clinton within three points there. so the map of swing states is expanding, but not in the direction that donald trump likes. it's states that go traditionally republican looking towards hillary clinton. so it's a very rough map for donald trump. >> all right, jamie weinstein. we have to leave it there. always good to talk to you. take care. eric? >> we'll have a lot more on the state of this race in a few moments. tennessee congresswoman marsha blackburn will be here. she's a donald trump surrogate. we'll get her thoughts on how trump is doing and ask her about mrs. clinton's charge that mr. trump is, quote, a threat to our democracy.

plus the clinton campaign dealing yet again with another document dump from wikileaks. what clinton staffers reportedly said behind the scenes about race relations and african-american outreach and how donald trump is reacting. >> john podesta said of hillary, she has bad instinct. she's been there for 30 years, and what has she fixed? nothing. she unleashed death, destruction, and failure in every country she touched. everyday millions of women worldwide trust tena with their bladder matters. thanks to its triple protections from leaks, odor and moisture. tena lets you be you ♪

foundation donation from the king of morocco. all that in exchange for holding a clinton global initiative meeting there. molly has the latest on what wikileaks is supposedly showing us from washington. hi, molly. >> hi, eric. hillary clinton's campaign manager says it was not the appearance of pay-for-play as donald trump suggests that led hillary clinton to back out of a planned speech in morocco in 2015. it was, rather, an issue of timing. new wikileaks documents show hillary clinton's aides discussing her plan for the king of morocco to give $12 million to the clinton global initiative, that's the family charity, in exchange for the charity holding a meeting in morocco in 2015 and hillary clinton speaking there. bill and chelsea clinton ended up attending the event, but hillary did not. >> i didn't want anything on her schedule that was going to distract from the campaign. and the clinton global initiative had this meeting scheduled -- >> but it was big money from a

foreign country to the foundation at the time she was running for president. >> it was a scheduling matter and i didn't want her going overseas before the campaign was kicking off. >> also today other new wikileaks' documents showing the clinton campaign trying to figure out if hillary clinton was losing too much black voter support to bernie sanders and if she needed to do a rmajor race speech. the top speechwriter wrote to other campaign officials in 2016 talking about how there had been conversations with bill and hillary clinton about what a speech would cover and that, quote, both -- sorry bill and clinton were, quote, quite clear that it should not be a mea culpa but she shouldn't try to, quote, defend the indefensible. another adviser was concerned that a speech could unintentionally introduce other information, potentially damaging, including the term super predator to a lot more voters. it's the term then first lady hillary clinton used in 1996 to describe gangs.

many african-americans consider it offensive, and she has since apologized for using the term. eric? >> lrall right, molly. thanks so much. hillary clinton's slamming donald trump as dangerous after the republican nominee refused to say during wednesday's debate where he'd respect the outcome of the election. here is mrs. clinton last night. >> in that third debate donald trump said something that no, no other candidate running on either side has ever said, and that is he refused to say he was respect the outcome of the election. this poses a direct threat to our democracy. i've lost elections. you don't feel good the next day, but we've always had a peaceful transfer of power. >> and joining me now, republican congresswoman from tennessee, marsha blackburn.

she's also a donald trump surrogate. congresswoman, very nice to have you here. >> very nice to be here. thank you. >> thank you. let's start here with hillary clinton's claim that donald trump is trying to interfere with our democracy, and as we know, that low voter turnout is usually not good for democrats. congresswoman, is it fair to ask is donald trump somehow trying to deter people from voting or might there be another reason for his drum beat of a rigged election system? >> i don't think donald trump is trying to deter anyone from voting. you could look at the record numbers of individuals who self-proclaimed as republicans and came out and voted in the republican primary simply so they could support him, whether they were a democrat or an independent. so i don't think that that is it at all. quite the opposite may be true. you know, arthel, i have come to see that when the clintons start talking about it, it seems that that's something that they may

be a little bit guilty of. >> are you suggesting that perhaps that they somehow are -- what do you mean by that, congresswoman? i don't want to put words in your mouth. >> i think, arthel, when you look at it they understand they need to get their voters out, and they would hope that a lot of trump supporters do not come out, and we know we have a peaceful transfer of power in this country, and we're going to see that again, and these are two candidates who are trying to appeal to their base to get their base out and at the same time win over those independent voters that are going to decide the outcome of this election. many of those individuals in the battleground states. >> and congresswoman, to your point, if that is, in fact, what donald trump is trying to do, as well as mrs. clinton, to get those voters out there, new voters in particular, how does trump's messaging galvanize those new voters that could help him win the election? >> i think his speech yesterday

is what is vgalvanizing. people know when you talk about things that are a threat to the nation, you can look at ms. clinton's actions, her actions on benghazi, the actions that are being borne out with the e-mails, the actions that you have seen with what has happened in the middle east, the disruption there with syria, what has happened with iran. and those are things that pose other threats. syrian refugees and bringing in additional refugees. now, arthel, those are things that voters are looking at and saying, oh, my goodness, this is is somethi something that is not good for the health and stability of this country. looking at $20 trillion worth of debt and hearing about adding more of an annual deficit to that accrued debt every year and focusing on those issues are where voters are right now, and they're trying to decide who is going to be better for the

future of our country, and i think that's what people are honing in on. >> and congresswoman, you do such a fantastic job, of course. you're an experienced politician and have a great career, but you did that so well, and i think that's what voters are wanting to hear from donald trump. he gave -- he presented a clear outline of his first one hundred days in office, but then he also threatened to sue the women who have claimed unwanted sexual advances by trump. does he keep overshadowing the stronger aspect of his speech and then not outlining those reasons why you should not vote for hillary clinton? >> i think at this point in time people are tired of hearing the attacks. they're tired of hearing about things that are not specific to the issues that they're concerned about. so many times, arthel, we will hear people say, you know, politicians just don't get it. these elections are not about

them. these elections are about us, we, the people, and there's never been a year more perfectly suited for that message. this is a year where the people of this country are saying, look, we want this country back on the right track. that's why it's been an outsider year. they want things done differently, and they really have a different set of deliverables for this election than many, many of the past elections. >> and congresswoman, i'm short on time but i have to ask you this because you laid out some great messaging for your candidate. will we hear donald trump in the next 16 days speak directly to those issues that the voters want to hear, about the things that affect them and not so much him or his campaign or hillary and her campaign? >> yes. you're going to see more focus on all of those action items that are laid out for the first hundred days. it's exciting to hear a plan of action with specifics. this is what we're going to do on day one.

these are things we're going to begin to put in process, and that gives those of us who are in congress the opportunity to say, okay, let's work together to get this done and get the country on the right track. to roll back obamacare, begin some tax reforms, make certain that we are securing our borders. >> congresswoman marsha blackburn, again, it was a pleasure to talk to you. >> good talking to you also. thank you. >> take care. bye-bye. arthel, the election is not even over and we're told hillary clinton is already looking past donald trump focusing on helping house and senate democrats. will they sweep the senate? and could the democrats take the house? we'll look at the odds straight ahead. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads to places like... this... this... or this. today, there's a new option. introducing drug-free aleve direct therapy. a tens device with high intensity power that uses technology once only available in doctors' offices.

perhaps she is sensing victory for her to be at hand as the campaign is focusing on the down bat loll ra ballot races. could congress flip? dana hayward and dennis kucinich, welcome to you both. nan, let me start with you. let's look at the senate first. the democrats only need four seats. do you think that republican control is in jeopardy in the senate? >> it clearly is, eric, and we can see that in so many races defined across the country. this is a year in which people are justifiably very frustrated with washington. they're very frustrated with the state of the economy. they look at incumbents of both parties and say it's time for a change. republican incumbents who might like to see return to the senate

and the house are in some jeopardy because of this mood. so it's very important for republicans to remember and for voters across the country to remember that it's the economic message that every republican is promoting, including the presidential candidate donald trump. we need to reactivate our economy. we need to have real relief from bad taxes, heavy taxes, bad regulations, and only the republican candidates across the country are supporting the things that would make all of us feel better. >> you talk about the frustration against washington. what about the anger and frustration against donald trump? >> well, i think, again, it's very important. he gave an important speech yesterday in gettysburg, and he did lay out his economic plan in detail. it will be a plan that will increase opportunity and prosperity for everybody. all republicans down the ballot have to concentrate on those things, and mr. trump has to respect that in every state and

in every district, as dennis and i both know, there are particular concerns that mean that candidates, even though we share a party, may have to have a very different approach. >> dennis, i see you nodding. is it, as nan says, frustration with washington or is it donald trump's fault? >> well, first of all, you have to remember in it's primaries people in both parties, about half of americans, wanted to just throw the established parties overboard, and that's worth remembering because that mood, it's still out there in the country. people want dramatic change. they don't want more of the same. that's why candidates have to listen closely. at a district level, most congress people try to stay close to the people. if they don't, they don't last long, but i would say that in this election what people are looking for are candidates who are going to identify the economic issues that people care about, jobs, health care, education, retirement security, and have a plan to do something about it.

>> and do you think the senate will flip? do you think the house, dennis, can change? but they have -- there's a 30-seat gap in the house. >> i think, you know, the senate is probably very close right now. the house, i don't know. there are a lot of seats in the house that were decided through redistricting years ago. i think that we're looking at a government that will be divided. we're certainly looking at a country which will be divided, but we cannot expect both political parties to come together and start holding hands if it means more war, trade deals that take away american jobs. there's a lot that remains to be determined between now and the election. >> and, nan, quickly because we're out of time, senate, yes, but house no? >> house is going to stay republican, i agree with dennis. and you know what? they're greater is vents of the people. paul ryan is an american hero in my eyes. you need to have every republican up and down the ballot working together and concentrating on positive messages of economic prosperity and opportunity.

>> i'm sure dennis would agree that's the same message for the democrats. thank you, both. >> you bet. >> thank you. get ready for some peanuts and cracker jacks. most chicago cub fans weren't even alive the last time their team went to the world series. that's happening now though. ♪ it's a tangle of multiple symptoms. ♪ ♪ trintellix (vortioxetine) is a prescription medicine for depression. trintellix may start to untangle or help improve the multiple symptoms of depression. for me, trintellix made a difference. tell your healthcare professional right away if your depression worsens, or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. trintellix has not been studied in children. do not take with maois. tell your healthcare professional about your medications, including migraine, psychiatric and depression medications
