in the meantime, hope you a great day. thank you for joining us "america's election headquarters" starts right now. this is a fox news alert. both campaigns going into overdrive as things heat up. we're now just 15 days away from the big day, trump is making a big push in florida. five appearances in three days. his running mate mike pence is in north carolina with a pair of rallies. hillary clinton is in new hampshire as you just saw today and tim kaine is in florida. we have our team following all of the stories. we start to carl cameron in tampa. >> hi, shannon. trump has a very busy day in

florida today and tomorrow. this is the premier, must win battleground state of all battleground states. he is spending a tremendous amount of time here. he added to his list of emnemie saying the polls are rigged. he says the media is rigging the polls and that, too, has to be fixed -- watch. >> watch the polls, because this is part of the crocked system. part of the rigged system. they're phoney polls put out by phoney media to try to suppress the vote, but we're winning this

race. he says he is winning which contradicts what kellyanne conway said yesterday in the national shows. hillary clinton has a four-point lead here in florida, and in -- what happens outside of the rallies before they happen, all of the equipment getting moved around. and nationally, she has an almost six point lead. he says he is winning, his campaign manager acknowledges they are behind. now trump is telling his supporters the polls are, too. >> nothing ruffles you, you carry on no matter what. carl, thank you so much. hillary clinton in new hampshire today as we speak. holding a rally alongside elizabeth warn. fox team coverage continues with

jennifer griffin in manchester. >> you may be wondering with both candidates are spending so much time in new hampshire, there is a hard-fought senate race. hillary clinton took to the stage today with elizabeth warn. the senator from massachusetts and the governor of new hampshire, maggie hassen running against kelly ayotte. they have been speaking now for about 40 minutes, and they're mess an is basically to women voters. they recognize that if in the battleground states, the six key states, there are four race that's if they win will send women to the senate. sheer what elizabeth warren said moments ago. i guess we don't have that cut, but she was addressing

trump and she used that famous phrase about nasty women, and nasty women taking their nasty feet to the polls. so a lot of ribbing here, but there has been a lot of discussion about the down ballot races. they assume that even though it is premature there, assuming that hillary clinton is pulling ahead, but now if they're going to governo they have to look at the senate races in 2018 there are 25 democratic senate seats that come up. >> jennifer griffin live on the campaign trail, thank you. >> if we're talking about the electoral college, she is at 307, but something else has stake as jennifer mentioned, november 8th. the balance of power in the

senate could come down to new hampshire, pennsylvania, nevada, indiana, missouri, and north carolina. joining us now for more on this, our fox news digital editor. >> in nyc with you. >> good to see you. let's take a look, the g.o.p. has 54 seats, 44, and the independents -- >> call did 54-46. we talk about the key six states, it is key this time because there are so many more gop senators running than there are democrats. every two years a third of the senate is up. >> so the republicans will lose seats, period. they're goal is to prevent that loss from being four seats or more. the democrats win the white house and four senate seats they take control of the senate.

the republicans will lose few seats in the house, but hillary clinton wants her agenda. she wants chuck schumer or whoever to be her senate majority leader and that would be a big win for her and it dramatically under cuts her ability to have an agenda. she wants to take advantage of this advantageous math. >> so five of those states are g.o.p. seats they want to hold on to. the sixth is nevada and harry reid is stepping down you're going to miss him, aren't you ma? >> his cool classes. >> and his speeches. >> we expect the republicans to lose, we're prefiguring the loss of illinois and potential loss in wisconsin. we look at the other states, where can the democrats get two. nevada looking harder for the

democrats, joe led consistently there, now it is starting to trail and you see harry reid t putting on the blitz. that means they have to hold the line. i think rory blunt will be fine in missouri. indiana is proving tough because evan bye, a long time senator, former governor himself, and all of that stuff, he is a dowdy figure as trump is under performing. and burr looks safe in north carolina. basically it comes down to this. the republicans would need to hold new hampshire and pennsylvania. that is kelly ayotte and pat tumme. that puts them right on the bubble. they have done a good job, and

the republicans have done a good job in terms of picking the right personnel. raising lots of money. they have done everything they can but as you get down to the end, in is state like pennsylvania. >> it's a lot to ask, but for people not happy about this, very different in 2018 because now we have after flip. whoever wins, the middle of their first term, it does creepy things sometimes. but you have v 25 democratics. >> in 2012, they had a good senate year. every time you win -- once you win the heavyweight belt, everyone wants to fight you, so they can take effort in the fact that the math looks better for

them. >> we may hear something about that. >> and there are supreme court nominees or three that make it through in the process. good to see you. >> thank you. >> a brand new release by wikileaks sparking major concerns for the clinton campaign. ed henry is combing through them. they were worried about her record on terror? >> yeah, think back to december after the terror atook. she will keep the country safe -- they were singing a different tune in private. a new e-mail out there today, going around to other folks, talking about that person there. he got a visa to stay in america even though she went online and

wrote all of these horrific things, and this e-mail say it's is just a matter of time before the public and the media try to use san bernardino as a sign that things were broken while she was secretary of state and that she did not do enough to fix them. and i don't know if saying hay this really wasn't a problem until after i left state is going to cut. it makes you wonder about what kind of case has been prosecuted or not prosecuted by trump and the republican side of this campaign when there was a deep nervousness about her record. >> and it sounds like there is a conversation about the economic recovery that she was saying on the trail didn't match what aides were saying? >> yeah, pb out there more and more for hillary clinton. both of them talking about a big economic recovery but we have another e-mail showing that last year a former clinton treasury

official from back in the '90s, was talking about how a lot of businesses are failing and this decline appears to be a spread across all key business sectors. it mean that's it is weakening which, in turn, the folks are saying one thing in private and something different in public. bernie sanders asked about some of the e-mails showing the clinton camp making fun of bernie sanders and he said if they got my e-mails they would see things about clintons as well. new allegations of missing clinton e-mails. this time conversations between hillary clinton and general david petraeus coming to light. what she told him about her private e-mails. and donald trump outlining

his first 100 days in office. our political panel debates. three polls just said we're winning nationally. i think we will win. it's endless shrimp at red lobster. with another new flavor you never saw coming... grilled, glazed korean bbq shrimp. and try as much as you want of flavors like new parmesan peppercorn shrimp. just come in before it ends. ...to cook healthy meals... yet up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more... ...add one a day men's 50+. complete with key nutrients we may need. plus it helps support healthy blood pressure with vitamin d and magnesium.

a brand new clinton e-mail bomb shell. more than 1,000 e-mails between hillary clinton and david petraeus. and it gets worse. chief intelligence correspondent katherine harris has more. >> these fbi files show 1,000

e-mails between david petraeus and hillary clinton were never provided to the state department and they're believed to be among the e-mails deleted that were labelled personal and not work related. by 2012, petraeus was promoted to cia director. in one exchange, clinton tellsp unsecured account. if there is anything you need or want me to know, please use this personal e-mail address, all the best, hillary. state department told fox that released the e-mails they got and they can't account for the records from the general. >> new allegations about a potential conflict of interest at the fbi? >> that is right, records show

that a life got over $400,000 from the virginia governor, a clinton confident. she ran for state senate in virginia last year, and she lost but she got $457,000 from common ground va. she was recruited in march of 2015. at that time, mccay's husband was an associate deputy director and after her campaign ended, he was promoted to deputy director with overtight of the clinton e-mail investigation. >> i want to see someone answer your questions from the media about why he was allowed to

maintain his position. >> the fbi said there was no conflict and it was appropriately reviewed intern internally. it reads in part there was a system of accusal. a process followed for the remainder of her campaign. in the campaign, he, mccabe, play norah o'donnell role, attended no events and did not participate in fundraising or support of any kind. but seniors say it just looks bad especially after the tarmac episode between bill clinton and hillary clinton. >> bad looking. >> the optics are tough. a deadly crash moments before a plane slammed into the groun ground.

>> early voting started today in many states including one that you have to win to become president. we're live in florida. you don't let anything keep you sidelined.

that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

>> a terrifying moment caught on video as a plane drops out of the sky. it crashed shortly after takeoff. the french defense ministry says the fife individuals were part

of a surveillance team. it was part of a french customs operation tracking human and drug trafficking from libya. it is now under investigation. >> trump sticking to his guns insisting that many are out to get him. he says the race is rigged. before outlining his first 100 days in office, vowing to take action against the women accusing him of making unwanted advances. >> all of these liar wills be sued after the election is over. because simple phone call placed to the biggest newspapers or television networks gets them news coverage with no fact

checking whatsoever. mercedes is a former advisor for george w. bush. where is it that we see women continue to come forward fwlp is a thread of commonality, but they're put into the "new york times" with being 100% truthful, but we have women from bill clinton's past and new ones that continue to come forward and discredited as having a grudge. >> the irony of the statement is that trump build his candidacy around the media responding to what he says without fact checking. let's be clear about the consistency. from the reports i read, bill clinton is not running for president, trump is running for president. he is the candidate. in terms of what.

but if we think about the role that hillary clinton played in discrediting the women that came forward against hillary clinton is not -- >> it is against both -- >> it is against both. if you want to look tat as a package, we can also but melania -- >> bill clinton -- hillary clinton said it, will have a key role in her hadministration. someone that has sexually assaulted women be a key advisor and surrogate to hillary clinton in the white house. this is no criminal conviction. it is just a question that many people have as one set of accusers is immediately credited as true and the other is credited as not drew. there was a speech that donald

trump gave, here are a few of them, congressional term limits, freezes on a federal workers, crack downs on leaving congress and becomes lobbyists. and a two-year mandatory sentence for illegal immigrants that are deported and return. those are key policy issues that voters want to hear about, but he spends so much time talking about the rigged election and what is after him, is the message of the policy stuff lost cause of that? >> i do think the conversation of the rigged election works well with his base supporters. the colluding between the

campaigns, there is some truth that gets lost in helping to talk about the policy issues. for donald trump, the last 15 days, and i would have been doing this six months ago, he should have been talking to the suburban moms. ethics reform is important, and talking about protecting the american worker, national securi security, those are issues that matter. i think everything else at this point is just a distraction. >> if you heard the speech today he talked about corrupt washington, there was thunderous applause and cheers. he knows what his people want to hear. worth sacrificing the policy issues by throwing the red meat?

>> he has a solid 40% of support that is not moving. i dent defend bill clinton or donald trump. most women are turned off by the narrative around them. if you look at traditional campaigns of the past, no one wants to hear from the candidate that the democracy is rigged unless it is in my fey voavorfa. >> for those that want to review that gettysburg speech. there is a lot out there for what he wants to do in his first 100 days. great to see you both. >> all right, can you believe more than six million people have already voted in this

election? and there is a lot we can tell about which way their voting. friends and numbers from florida, north carolina, nevada. >> and iraqi forces advance on mosul, we'll have a live report on that region. future self wil. thank you. i become a model?!? yes. no. start the challenge today and notice more beautiful hair, skin & nails or your money back.

is depression more than sadness? ♪ 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 to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition. increased risk of bleeding or bruising may occur especially if taken with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners. manic episodes or vision problems may occur in some people. may cause low sodium levels. the most common side effects are nausea, constipation and vomiting. trintellix did not have significant impact on weight. ask your healthcare professional if trintellix could make a difference for you. time now for a quick check of the headlines.

syrian government forces are launching another offensive against rebels. cigarette motions is a factor in more than one in four deaths. and one popular figure is asking to be released from prison. he has been granted a retrial and is set for next summer. early in person voting is under way today in florida. a record number of floridans are set to vote. nearly 1 million people have already voted by mail. >> hi, phil. >> hi, shannon, 12.6 million floridans are registered to vote. more an more, people are casting their ballot early. take a look. now only did more than a million

people already mail in their ballot in the state of florida, early voting at most of the countries began. it's been underway, a nice steady flow of early voters. wait times not much more than 20 minutes. there have been reports in other polling places that have been up to two hours. still, it is a far cry from four years ago where florida saw super long lines. very angry voters because it took them up to seven hours just to cast their early vote. there are more locations now, t machines, more poll workers, and for the voter more convenience overall. one woman telling us today that her vote was her civic duty. >> it took about 20 minutes.

still pretty quick. >> and that gentleman kindly telling us his experience as well. democrat tim kaine hit several locations today stressing people vote early. donald trump is in st. augustine, and across tampa urging people to vote. across the country looking at the battleground states. nevada started saturday, ohio and virginia started mid month. pennsylvania has no early voting at all. now the popular vote casting is growing, and the mail-in ballot is appealing to more voters than ever before. 28% voted in personal, and those numbers should be the same or

larger this year. >> still on those election days, the lines are just insane. so i -- it takes a lot for millions of people to vote anywhere. >> early voting not just happening in florida, taking place across the country. people lining up to vote in critical swing states like north carolina, nevada, and ohio. it is estimated that through this morning, more than 6 million people have already voted. are there any trends that we can take away? dr. michael mcdonald, good to see you today. >> great to be with you. >> let's talk about north carolina, i know you have dug into the data about what's going on there. what can you tell snus. >> there are a number of states like north carolina that give us a wealth of information. we have party registration. people who voted in this election and we can make a

comparison to 2012. nanny a state like north carolina we have gender, age, and race. now all states have that information but that is something we have in north carolina. what we can tell from the data so far is up to that mail in balloting period that the in personal early voting period started on thursday, the democrats were performing better than 2012. and that changed with the in person early voting. republicans had a slight lead. democrats, like what happens most places with in person early voting. the numbers were not as strong for the democrats as they were compared to 2012. some of that has to do with what has been widely reported, the reduction in polling places that led to long lines for democrat

counties. what we will see because the polling locations will increase is that we should see greater increase of early voting. and this is the critical time for the democrats. they like to vote in person and early. if they don't show up with the numbers they did, it will be troublesome for the clinton campaign. >> so a big senate race, same thing in nevada, how are things looking there? >> there it is looking better for the democrats. there have not been the same changes in the number of polling locations and after the first day of voting that happened on saturday, the state started reporting the numbers out and things look good for the democrats. at least on par or better than 2012, and the republicans are slightly off of their 2012

levels. it persists through election day itself. >> i want to quickly touch on california, the ballots are up by 25% in 2012. the latino population is growing, ageing, and some of that increase is expected. but to see that number, that much of an increase in california, that may bode well for the clinton chances as we're seeing in places like arizona, dare i say it, texas. >> interesting to see it as a toss up these days. dr. mcdonald, thank you for your insights, great to see you. >> iraqi troops withheld from special forces are working to retake villages around the city of mosul.

the terror group is leaving behind booby trapped buildings. they are using more air strikes against them than ever before. ben is in irbil. >> hi, shannon. every morning we hear from the iraqi military they tell us a town or village has been taken. we hear gunfights and the police say things are going to plan and they just moved into two other villages south of mosul. the pentagon revealed they were meeting heavy resistance and it would get heavier. they are attempting to retake the extremest held city. they also showed iraqi fighter jets targeting kirkuk.

so it is hard to know what is going on, it is mixed messages. >> it was slow going today on the front lines as kurdish and iraqi troops circled around bartola. said to be liberated four days ago but isis continued to reappear. reinforcements rushed to want front lines and the isis resistance was still strong. >> there is a gun battle half a mile in front of us. earlier, there was suicide truck bombs there. not sure whether or not they may call in an air strike. >> one man was killed earlier today by an ied and the mood was somber. as they move towards mosul, they're finding the resistance stronger and the going harder. we're also seeing isis launch a number of counter attacks in different areas. back to you, shannon.

let's say you want to show your friends how you voted. are ballot selfies league -- legal or not? it depends. one state is being ordered to return their military signing bonuses 15 years after they agreed to risk their lives for our country.

california alone have been ordered to pay back the bonuses of roughly $15,000 or more. the dulling of the cases are in california. but we're learning from the pentagon that other states are affected, too. now, as we know, most vets live paycheck to paycheck. now they're in a terrible position of how to come up with the money and how to get past the bad taste left in their mouths. >> you're asked to complete these terms of service, do these tasks. we did so. and on the back end you're saying, well, there's a technicality, we want our money back. that's -- that's absurd. it's insulting. it's also degrading to what we've done. >> reporter: and that particular veteran says he's already worked with a number of lawyers trying to resolve this case. he spent a lot of time, a lot of money. but he has yet to resolve anything. shannon, back to you. >> all right. anita, what about the national guard? the other side of the conversation? what do they have to say? >> reporter: yeah, well, they say unfortunately here their hands are tide. this is a federal issue.
