cold winter because of covid, they don't want to hear that they want to hear a plan that you have some benefit for all the work that's being done by private corporations and the government to eradicate this. >> all rights, up to you will, joel, what's the strongest point in former vice president joe biden's closing messages? will they resonate in why will they resonate? will they drive voters to the poll on election day which is already here for some of the votes in our country. >> is a very clear message. vice president biden knows how to heal the country and bring it back together. we are the biden nation going to, after trauma after trauma, and now trump, we have a racial justice debate that's underway. at the president is exacerbating. we have an economy that's collapsed 65 million people have sought unemployment during the coronavirus.

>> judy, i'm going to ask you for a nonpartisan take. what's the president strongest point in the closing argument and what is joe biden strongest final message, judy? >> i think what the american people heard tonight from both candidates pretty much sums up what they have heard during the last frenetic week. that is from joe biden, a message of hope, unity, and decency. that is the word and the theme that he has emphasized, restoring decency and honor to america. also, doing something about the 230,000 people who have died because of this terrible, terrible virus. yes, that was a dark winter, but his closing message was one of hope and one come into the middle class of america, which

he talked and he said ordinary people doing extraordinary things. versus donald trump tonight, he listed his accomplishments but he was full of grievances and blame. that's what americans heard, that's when i heard. >> which one will resonate. maybe the president trump supporters feel like they are victims on some level? will that resonate and drive them? >> there is no doubt. >> go ahead, judy, final word. >> there's no doubt that that resonates with donald trump space, but that doesn't resonate with the 93 million people who already turned out to vote. i believe that message has really turned them off. i think a lot of the early votes are going to biden. >> judy miller, brad blakeman, joel, we've got to keep it moving. you're with us for the next three hours, get your coffee i got mine, and i'll talk you again soon. all right, thank you. rick. >> what will happen in the duties and weeks to come, and

transportation was shut down. >> the shooting started, first we did not know what it was, but suddenly people who were sitting started to run. first, we kept standing there because we did not know what was going on and then there was shooting again but closer. so we started to run away. because we did not know if we were running in the right direction, we ran into a hotel and hid there. >> while the motive is under investigation, authorities say the possibility it was an anti-semitic attack cannot be real don't give in their shooting started outside the synagogue. it was closed at the time, thank goodness, president trump took the twitter, another vile act of terrorism in europe. evil attacks innocent people must stop. it democratic candidate joe biden says after the terribe attacks in vienna, we must all stand united against hate and

ohio. i saw a great enthusiasm there, but the points beyond that. the binding campaign has been fully compliant with cdc guidelines while the trump campaign has splattered that. up to a serious degree. if you cite a recent study nonpartisan, a scientific study that shows nearly 30,000 individuals that attended a trump rally in the past six months since the covert outbreak have come down with the virus. hundreds of individuals have succumbed to the virus. it shows how the trump campaign is willing to put their supporters in harm's way. >> i don't have the stats in front of me not you quoted, but i'm asking you again you look at the picture, people showing up to the rally. i wanted to ask you again, do you think it correlates to a vote? are you concerned about it at all? >> i don't think it necessarily corresponds as you are seeing the trump campaign and the

president's remarks are geared toward his base, certainly his base is engaged with him this cycle. they are fired up and they wait hours at a time to see him. that speaks volumes again to his base engagements, but that is it translate to real votes both in the early votes and seeing tomorrow than anyone's guess. you're also seeing the enthusiasm with the donations. the vice president released numbers at 5.5 million individual americans have donated to the campaign. compare that to the millions more in the trump campaigns also in terms of actually americans stepping up and giving to a campaign, you're seeing a lot more enthusiasm with the vice president's campaign. >> i want to switch from personality to the pandemic and policy. does the pandemic outbreak policy in the dash what will drive voters now? is it better suited to get us out of the pandemic or who is

policy would benefit most americans? is it a package deal? >> it's a package deal, it's not a winning argument for they trump campaign, the president to be out there saying that he's going to fire dr. fauci. whether you like him or not, terms of the president, dr. fauci has remarkable support among the american people because he levels with the american people. just as the vice president has done saying he will defeat the virus, not put the country into more lockdowns, both focus the attention on the virus compared to the president who is out there again floating this agency guidelines saying that we have turned a corner. americans know better, and they want their next president to tell the truth, which is what the vice president has been doing all along during the pandemic. >> okay, sorry kent kevin mullin, thank you for joining us and to know we're going to have where i want to trump surrogates coming up in a moment. >> great to be with you. >> president trump criticizing a

recent supreme court ruling, not to block the counting of late arriving ballots telling supporters at a rally monday that it creates a dangerous situation. >> when the supreme courts by extension, they made it a very dangerous situation and i mean, physically dangerous, and they made it a very, very bad thing. they did a bad thing for this nation. you have to have a day, you can extend the dates. >> the ruling allows pilots to be accepted as late as friday as long as they were postmarked by election day. president trump's promising to challenge these votes, telling reporters that "we are going in with our lawyers." and polly is the ceo of scott law firm, and think you for being with us tonight. i spent a month in tallahassee for a week 20 years ago, it was a nightmare.

what we see a repeat? >> it's a supreme court decision to actually change the rules in the middle of the campaign is rather stretching the law. the loss pretty clear in pennsylvania, they should have been able to get the votes mailing pellets by election day. the supreme court their extended three days extra and in fact, not just postmarked but no discernible postmark, those two would be accepted. now, the supreme court of the united states has weighed in at least initially and hasn't ruled yet on this, but they did say they would look at the issue if necessary. >> okay, they did not issue a final ruling. it's not as if -- you can't appeal to a supreme court decision but they have not made one yet. >> they haven't made one yet but in the meantime, pennsylvania is keeping those ballots that are received after election day separated from the rest so this

way they can be subject to scrutiny and the legal later on. one other point i want to make about this about pennsylvania, this idea of a lot of mail in ballots creates a lot of issues around having voters met all the technicalities of the mail in ballots. sign the secrecy envelope and et cetera. pennsylvania, the supreme court of pennsylvania said that voters who used mail-in ballots cannot have an opportunity. if they fail to sign a male invalid or the secrecy envelope, they cannot cure it. that's one thing that's decided. but there is counties in pennsylvania that are allowing them to cure issues with their absentees and their male ends, which, by the way, totally unfair. if that needs to be across the whole state both republican counties and democratic counties.

>> i want to read you a quote who is a binding campaign legal advisor. he says it's very telling that president trump is focused not on his voters, but on his lawyers. his lawyers are not going to win back the election for him. we are fully prepared for any legal hijinks of one kind or another. we are not worried about it. is it fair to call it a legal hijinks? >> it would be fair to say to be prepared because democrats have not only descended on states like pennsylvania, they decided on states like florida, north carolina, and other states. let's be honest about this, what we are after is simply a big win on election day based upon a fair and accurate count of the ballot box. no one is trying to suppress ballots or votes, but we want a fair election and we believe president trump will be reelected. >> i think everybody wants a fair election. we appreciate your time this morning, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> president trump is claiming

treatment and of course the four final phases of vaccine trials we see mentor and i was going to have 20 million vaccines available by the end of the ye year. other companies not far behind. you look at this and you can simply focus on the number of pieces without looking the recovery rate as well, because it's very important and we have to be better in a lot of ways than on the other countries are dealing with the virus. >> but we have the worst record compared to other countries. >> that's actually not true. >> let me tell you this, madison, you have a lot of people, most americans are concerned about the virus. do you think it's a good idea for the president to imply that he might fire dr. fauci? we just showed you the video coming into our segments. the crowds chanting "fire fauci." he says just wait maybe after the election and then the president will come back and say

he's just kidding. meanwhile, also, dr. burke has been muzzled. is this the way that the president is showing the country the best way that the president can show the country that, listen, i got this. i've got you, we're going to get a grip on the virus in the pandemic very soon. is that the best messaging? >> the american people are worried not about the coronavirus come up on multiple issues. when you mentioned statistically about whether or not he would fire somebody he has the oblates to fire, i don't think many people will care. they will be quite qualified, and the president will go to them when needed and move forward and get through this together, where strong as americans. like i said before, we are very close to a vaccine and we see the clinical trials that are finishing the treatment as well that are saving american lives. >> we definitely all hope for a vaccine, we hope for a safe is

2016 for sure about national polls are not what the campaign is focused on. it's the it's the state-by-state post, that's really where the effort has been and that's different from 2019. >> tight on time, is a true? that they learned their question in 2016 or are we in for another surprise? >> i think we are in for another surprise. i remember the children aesop labeled notorious and the hair, who wins the race? donald trump is at it again you using the same strategy are of knowing which electoral votes are needed. if they didn't learn the lesson from hillary who spent twice what donald trump did it, you haven't learned that lesson at all. >> president trump has a lot of people, i wonder if you think has the path to victory here tomorrow. >> he has the path to victory, but at this point it's an

unlikely one because if you look at the seven to ten-point lead that biden has, you have to remember that hillary clinton had about a three-point lead going into the race. in 2016. and she only lost 70,000 votes. the polls would have to be really, really, really wrong this time and the poll has gotten a lot better. >> there's a lot of early voting, but there is indication the president has gotten more votes than maybe the democrats thought he would and that biden has not exceeded their expectations for his early voting. is that accurate? >> it remains to be seen but one thing is for sure. at the early voting we are seeing is not because of enthusiasm for biden, it is because of covid. if people are voting early because they don't think they should vote in person then that's why you're seeing such a large turnout. if the question is do we have the infrastructure in states to handle their early and do it correctly in the tabulation and oversight? again, that remains to be seen

or a biden shutdown to kill the economy. >> president trump is terrified of what will happen in pennsylvania. he knows the people of pennsylvania say that he doesn't stand a chance. >> hello, everyone, i'm here with rick leventhal bringing you continuing coverage of the race for the white house. it's 2:00 a.m. on the west coast, 1:00 a.m. on the west coast. after between the swing states, president trump and the democratic rival joe biden are now ready to put their campaign to bed. wait to see what the voters decide. >> it's been a presidential race unlike any other in modern american history. if more than 98 million votes have been cast with at least three states already surpassing their total votes cast in 2016 with huge mail in an early vote.

roughly 300 lawsuits so far and dozens of states. of many involving changes to normal voting procedures due to the coronavirus pandemic. that could single a long wait for the definitive outcome of the har hard fought contest. while the results be contested in the new political storm on the horizon? >> it makes me feel sad that our country is at this point. i was telling my wife today as we were driving here how you used to talk about writing like it was just something that happened the way in the distant countries where there's all the civil unrest and you never imagined what's going to happen here. but it's part of everyday life now. >> we begin the hours coverage of election 2020 with lucas tomlinson and/or panel >> election day finally begins. president trump going back to washington holding rallies in seven states in three days.

we win the whole deal. >> president trump has no chance of being reelected. >> under no scenario will donald trump be declared a victor on election night and we think that's really fundamental to how we want to approach tomorrow. >> many warned of election interference, so far at the pentagon says all is quiet. there is no evidence of foreign adversaries gaining access to a election infrastructure. the size, complexity, of the electoral system, no country has a chance to change the outcome of the election. over the week, michigan state underdogs upset the university of michigan. they look to pull off a upside just like he did four years ago. >> did not see that coming, thank you very much. >> twitter has emerged as a popular campaign tool in the selection. you see both president trump and joe biden have discovered tweets of attacking the opponent.

senior campaign reporter for the "washington examiner," joining now via skype to unravel the power of the tweets. i want to start right off with a tweet from president trump, take a look at it. "joe biden has bought and paid for four and by big tech media, powerful special interests. they are desperate for him to win because they own him. they control him, and they know he will always do their bidding." read the twitter, so what are the choice of words? what did they say about his presence and confidence level upon his reelection? >> well, of course we all know that donald trump likes to use twitter to get his message out. of course, the biting campaign, biden himself certainly had a cs campaign surrogates. but people who follow twitter as far as the campaigns are concerned those are the true

believers. it lay on swing anyone as far as business is concerned, it's about getting out the voters, the ones who are saying hey, guys come out time to hit the polls. we need your help. this has to do with making sure that they get to their people to the polls because at this point, as we mentioned in the package, there is already over 90 million votes that were already attacked. right now, you have the campaign and you want to make sure that they get their people there because there is concerned specifically with the biden campaign that if donald trump gets his people to the polls come out that there may not be enough mail in ballots that were already cast for some of the biden campaign and able to overcome that particularly over in pennsylvania and a number of other early ballot states right now. >> all right, let's look at he biden tweets. he says "donald trump. he is the world from park avenue

referencing his long history as a real estate mogul in manhattan, he says, "i see it from where i came. scranton, pennsylvania. that's why i will fight every day as president to make the country work for middle-class and low income americans, not just the wealthy and well-connected. if it's to your point that these tweets really are about -- they are preaching to the choir but they're trying to galvanize the choir. saying if you haven't already gone, the polls are opening, the first ballot has been cast in the next few hours people are going to the polls and they're trying to get those people energized and saying don't take anything for granted. we need you here, we need the lines drawn. not because of any mishap but because so many people are out there waiting to cast their ballots. what do you think? >> absolutely. they are really trying to make sure right now that they are trying to get certain types of

people out to the polls. look, it will be a beautiful day all over the country. it can you imagine, the weather will be incredible. also, there's a particular press release sent out by the trump campaign saying, look, you have the biden people who will say it's a red mirage, that we are going to have incredible numbers. if none of campaign is scared that the numbers will be so great that it's something that is fake numbers, that's. mack not true, get out to the polls. the biden campaign has to end up playing defense so much for that as well. >> it seems both sides have the full court press going to the bitter end. neither side is taking anything for granted. shades of 2016. thank you very much for joining us. get some rest. rick. >> you may have heard cities

across the u.s. are preparing for potential postelection violence. 11 states now activated their national guard, 16 other states are projecting they may likely weltwo. they declared a state of emergency in portland sending in a unspecified number of guardsmen and putting state police and the county sheriff's office in the lead. meanwhile, arizona, alabama relying on 600 soldier quick response units graded by the national guard bureau if violence erupts. more on election day security, we go to fox news contributor ted williams. thank you for being with us. it is any overreach or is this somehow based on intel? things might go sideways? >> you know, rick, every four more years we reelected or elected president of the united states. one of the things we as americans pride ourselves with is in a orderly transition. unfortunately, i think there is intelligence there that shows

that america of this year the selection process has to brace for major unrest in many of the major cities around the country. the thought of businesses that are boarded up and in place of the white house, the national guard as you said, it's being called in. there's a great possibility that they are going to be needed after the polls close tomorrow night. >> tied to, how important are the guard units and helping keep the peace? what can they do and what can't they do? >> the national guard is significant in keeping the pea peace. there is something the law that prohibits federal troops like the army from engaging in domestic law enforcement. however, what can happen is that

the president of the united states under what's known as the insurrection act can take control of the national guard that's normally under the control of the governor. and put them in place. it's a very significant in keeping the peace. >> know that they can pick a post outside of key structures, buildings, arenas unload the police to do more patrols around the area. we can see the help that that can provide. what more do you think law enforcement's can and should be doing? >> they're doing the proper thing right now. if they've intelligence units out there that i are gathering a great deal information. what they are anticipating our groups on the left, the right, coming into not only washington, d.c., but other major politics cities and creating havoc.

the law enforcement officers are ready and set if they are needed to go in and put forth the wall. >> we have all seen this year of protests has gotten pretty ugly. a lot of them started out peaceful and then when night falls, some segment of the group of people on the streets to get to the next level. i'm wondering is a former detective and someone who spent a lot of time on the streets what your gut is telling you about what we can expect over the next couple days and couple weeks. >> what we can expect that there's going to be peaceful demonstrations, but the peaceful demonstrations are going to be infiltrated by rabble-rousers. people have their own agenda and is the result of that, they're going to wreak havoc in the country i believe as a result of the process that's taking place right now.

that's very unfortunate. >> does not happen no matter what happens on election day? >> no, it could. if there is a landslide, let's say biden wins by a landslide. if trump wins by a landslide, a may lessen the violent acts that could very well take place. but if it's a close election, i think you will find that they are going to be people taking to the streets. >> we appreciate your insight this morning. >> my pleasure, rick. >> election officials are seeing a record number of voting. many of their early votes are mail-in ballots in states where voting by mail only started this year. concerns about the pandemic. i had, we talk about some legal challenges that are already unfolding. ♪ election...

judy, going first, nearly 100 million early ballots cast. give us your overview on what to the record early turnout will indicate to you. will it be coffee or comfy jammies come this time tomorrow? >> my prediction, i retired after 2016 but i'll say this. that level of early voting suggests that people are fired up and traditionally we've know that most people who vote early and by mail tend to vote democratic. that's why we have seen this full court press effort by the republicans come on donald trump to disqualify, delegitimize those votes. this will not wash. every vote counts, every vote must be counted. i think we are going to see

this. republicans try to play this out to their lawyers and of course it won't work. and it undermines democracy voting is the pillar of her democracy to challenge it and to try to disqualify both as antidemocratic. >> judy, staying with you, do you think our election system can handle the record turnout? >> i think they can, i think were going to have a lot of long hours tomorrow. i'm not sure it will be decided tomorrow night, but ultimately these votes must be counted. covid demands it. we cannot turned out in the numbers that we usually do every four years, but the local elections all over the country, this is not just the presidential election. there's tens of thousands of local love for shoes and local jobs at stake too. if people are voting for them as well as the president. the system may have some glitches, but it will handle it.

there's no evidence whatsoever of systematic voter fraud. >> what do you read into the early record votes, do you think it's a sign for mr. bond and or are you worried about who will get the lion's share of votes in just a few hours from now? here we are on election day. >> we are in election day, it's amazing. i'm not worried about that at all. in his intentionally asked voters to voluntarily for their own safety and to go with mailing balloting as well if necessary. we are seeing a large turnout and one that has done is made it clear that democrats now have an advantage heading into daily, election day. several key states, north carolina, wisconsin, for example. there's a need for president trump to get over 60% at the ballot box today in order to make up for lost ground because of the surge of democratic voters. if i agree with judy, this is about the will of the people.

every vote must count. there cannot be any question about the fact that americans have a right to have their voice heard. the politicians get their voices heard and up until election day, then it's the people's voice and that's what we are seeing now and i think we will continue to see a large turnout today because we've had significant turnout in the election moment. there's many elections on the ballot as well. he saw a critical point that it's not just one race, its races across all 50 states. we have a bipartisan local official looking at every ball ballot. little real ejection rate of the ballots. every vote must count and the people will be hurried. we will see large numbers. >> nearly 100 million early ballots cast and again, 73% of the total vote in 2016. is it a good sign for president trump. are you feeling strong that voters hours from now, do think

they will turnout today? in record numbers for the present night? according to jewell, the president will need 60% of the voting today. the book for president trump. >> we've had records numbers of republicans voting early. republicans tend to vote in person on election day. this is election week in america, it should be election day. that's the whole purpose behind early voting. so we can tabulate on election day. rules constantly changing, democrats don't like the real so what do they do? they change the rule, up until and including and through election day. early voting is a blessing and curse for both parties. it's a blessing in that okay, you turned out the vote for your candidate. the curses, will b it be it be tabulated correctly? they don't have the infrastructures for some of the counties in order to handle the

volume, not only handling it correctly but filing. that's what we will see. election day, three opponents and ones getting out the vote, getting people to vote, the second one is watching the vote, oversight. three is making sure the challenges are made by lawyers if necessary to support competent jurisdiction to give a ruling. that's the key to winning and i'm having flashbacks of 2,000. i was in florida for 27 days for the recount and we have a handful of counties to worry about. magnify that over the country and make counties and states, jurisdictions. it could be a real mess. >> judy, okay come out but had come on give me 30 seconds. go ahead. >> there is no evidence that's the case. it democrats are not changing the rules. pennsylvania has its own rules that are in place on the legislation which is republican held about counting votes after

election day. this is not a game shifting. we, in fact in 2016, did not have pennsylvania's vote count until the evening after at 1:30 in the morning of election day. everyone needs to calm down and let the votes be counted, rules are in place, the infrastructure and is there, trust the local officials to get the job done. >> i have to leave it there, judy i was going to give you the final word in the segment but joel just took it. it there you go. joel, brad, judy. we have another shot coming up again. thanks to all three of you. rick? >> battle for the white house coming down to the final hours with both candidates gathering a small army of lawyers. i had to come out a look at whether the election could be decided in the courts. ♪

is the fact he can perform better than 2016. if he is able to, that can mean a pointer to state one for the president. florida is a huge opportunity for the president and he's able to drive up the margin a little bit more with latino forwarders. you're looking at the cuban voters, balance whaling voters, all the democratics seem to be turning in the right direction. if but of course, as you know, we have to hold onto much of the margin as you can and you can't afford to lose too much of that. >> michael, mr. abundance and his supporters, if we win florida, it's over can he win florida? >> we are in a couple thousand votes, now fast-forward to 2020, we are seeing over performing. i think the one thing that's not being done for is the fact that there are so young first-time

voters being fired up and ready to vote against president trump. they understand that, that donald trump is a threat to our democracy. especially in a state like florida where latinos aren't a homogenous group. on their colombians, they're all over latin america. >> michael, give me a "yes" or "no" on this if you can. can either candidates who win florida without winning both demographics? latinos and seniors? >> absolutely not, not with covid it were early voting has been pushed. >> lonnie, before we wrap up i want to ask you what about black voters in florida? who will ultimately win their votes and why? >> here too i think the question can president trump eat into the margin that hillary clinton had in 2016?

can he have a closer margin with joe biden then he did in 2016? if he's able to do that, joe biden will win the black vote in florida. the question is what the margin will be. if trump is is able to cut the margin again if you're looking state wide and you're talking about a path point here and there i do know the margin in 2016 was only one point or so over all. if the president can eat into the margin, that gives him potentially the opportunity to carry florida again and that will be a crucial part of his journey to the white house again if he wants to get there. >> he wants to get there. i think so. i have to leave it there and i think both of you for joining us this morning. take care. >> voters have to take a win not for the white house and the tenant as well. democrats hoping for complete control of washington. we discussed whether republicans can fight off the blue wave. ♪

become controversial apparently because many are mailed in, there's a cut off date for south carolina and they may actually have an impact on lindsey graham as well. >> what do you think and also in alabama? >> i think lindsey graham will hold his seat. he can probably thank president trump for that. i think donald trump will help in many of the tight races, perhaps a absent in michigan. he could certainly and help him when the state emac state and help them sally in arizona i think we'll have a tight majority as they do today and nothing will change in the senate. >> we are looking at georgia, maine, kansas, alaska. your thoughts on what states are most vulnerable for the republicans? >> i think the cook report is

sweeping up ohio. it really comes down to one of the four midwestern states for pennsylvania to michigan coming to wisconsin. in minnesota, and we are very optimistic that we can win one or more of those states. just based on what we are seeing with the early vote and voter turnout. plus, the momentum of the expected vote that we will have firm republicans and unaffiliated and crossover democrats. identifying with the president, pro-growth agenda. >> we only have a couple minutes left. i know you've seen the polls and all america have seen the polls that show the president trailing joe biden, but we have seen that those polls were wrong back in 2016. i am wondering what you know, one information you and the white house, your campaign staff have accumulated to tell you

that the polls are wrong again. >> i don't know that they're taking into the fact to the extent that they should, the amount of early votes that have been cast, whether it be for joe biden or president trump, but they don't seem to have taken into account the early vote totals. i believe some of the modeling is off. certainly, a lot of it is within the margin of error in wisconsin, the numbers seems to be a lot more leaning toward president trump than the polls would suggest. the same in pennsylvania, but a lots happening in pennsylvania because of the pro-fracking message of president trump. that would support millions of jobs. in joe biden being and backing the opposite. the messages really resonating well.

plus, i think people will be surprised with the amount of african-american votes, latino votes that the president gets. he made a real effort to reach out to a group that typically might not vote for a republican candidate. >> he still bringing the energy. if your boss seems to be enjoying this and he had a ridiculous schedule for the last week or more. does not seem to be slowing down but in the last 20 seconds, tell us what the presidents doing at the white house? >> he's about to return to the white house at 3:00. the number of people are ready to greet him. he will get a couple hours of sleep and then he will be joining a number of peoples across the country whether it's on "fox & friends" or the radio. we will have a busy day reaching out and making sure we get those labs and get out the vote vote coming our way.

mark meadows, we appreciate your time and we know that you probably need to get some sleep yourself. why don't you go ahead and do that and good luck tomorrow on election day. if we will continue to cover this in the next hour. stay with us, we will be right back. ♪ >> the campaign winding down, you heard the interview from >> the campaign is winding down. just heard the interview from air force one, the president keeps going, he is definitely doing it down to the wire as it is almost election day, a very heated presidential race, one of the most in american history and it is up to the voters to decide the fate of donald trump and former vice president joe biden. welcome to election day 2020. >> we will bring you the latest

updates, the candidates spending the final hours of their campaign in the swing states, pennsylvania the most fiercely contested battlegrounds, a state donald trump took by a narrow margin in 2016, biden hoping to flip it this time around. polls indicated is possible thanks to the early voting turnout, 98 million votes have been cast but the trump campaign remains confident that it has the upper hand over the democratic challenger. >> we are in a much stronger position than we were four years ago, the campaign, your witness to it, the campaign has even more energy, crowds are much bigger and we had the biggest crowds ever come much bigger, no one has ever seen this, this is never happened before.

>> put a end, said fan the flames of hate. i'm sending a message loud and clear, time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. eric: tomorrow is today and lucas tomlinson has the latest. >> reporter: the campaign is over, donald trump landed at andrews air force base 30 minutes ago holding rallies in 7 states in the past 3 days, his final start grand rapids, michigan, same city where he ended his campaign four years ago, estate he won by 43% in 2016. >> together we will defeat the corrupt establishment, we will dethrone the failed political class. we will drain the washington swamp and we will say the american dream for your children, your grandchildren. >> critical on election day turn

out, explains why the president has a blistering pace, took air force one to four battleground states, north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan, joe biden spent the day in pennsylvania, slammed the president and threatened to fire doctor anthony fauci. >> last night trump said he would fire doctor anthony fauci. isn't that wonderful. i have a better idea. elect me and i will hire anthony fauci. we are going to fire donald trump. think the states are critical to bring joe biden to the white house, this time as president, the strategy for democrats attacking the handling of the coronavirus, donald trump accused joe binding of wanting the lockdown to continue can keeps schools close and then we'll. that is why pennsylvania is critical, the president went to joe biden's hometown in hopes of winning the state again. in 2016 donald trump won the state by a razor thin margin. many of want of election

interference, so far all is quiet, quote, no evidence of foreign adversaries gaining access to election infrastructure. given the size and diversity of the electoral system, no country can choose the outcome of the election. experts say we will probably not have the winner declared tonight, millions voted by mail this year as opposed to showing up and voting in person. >> buckle up. it will be a bumpy ride. arthel: florida would be a huge prize with its 29 electoral votes. phil keating joins us from miami beach for the latest. >> reporter: good to see you bright and fresh this morning. hundreds beyond hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in florida's 7 media

markets on tv ads, biden, trump, a nonstop blitz. four hours, the first election day ballots cast this fire station and all over the state. former president obama rallied for turnout at florida international university in west miami specifically targeted miami-dade hispanics who have been lagging in turnout for biden. lewis fonzie joined the effort. >> can't just imagine a better future, we've got to fight for it, got to out hustle the other side, we've got to vote for it. >> reporter: every supervisor of elections office in florida for weeks have been scrutinized, questionable mail in ballots, the signature on the envelope is not exactly like the one on file etc.. yesterday and today people with mail in ballots can still drop

the ballot off in person at the official drop boxes was otherwise if you plan to vote today you have to go and do it in person. the upside is huge turnout and long lines are not expected at all. historic early voting has resulted in 9 million ballots already cast by mail and in person. the supervisor of elections expects today to be more like a municipal elections and a presidential election. >> anybody that would like to watch the transparency of it come down and watch it. it is open to the public or on zoom for people who don't want to come in. the data we have of the ballots appearing on the webpage every day should help people make an informed judgment how things are going. >> reporter: polls open at 7 am eastern time, close at 7:00 pm. keep in mind florida is on

central time in the panhandle. the first for the numbers won't come out until after 8:00 eastern, 35 mile an hour winds thanks to a cold front the blue in. people will be coming out to do their part in democracy. your handsome coanchor. arthel: the secret to my alertness is coffee with chicory. nice to see you, take care. eric: somehow i didn't get my coffee. speaking of other things texas is not voted for a democrat for president since 1976. expert say the state is up for grabs this year and the fight for every vote is just beginning. monday a federal judge rejected the gop effort to toss out 127,000 drive-through ballots.

those votes were cast in the largest county in texas which is a major democratic stronghold. republicans have appealed the decision with many wondering if the race in texas is so close that the outcome might depend on a judge's ruling. for the latest out texas is shaping up, another correspondent got up early this morning this morning, just jason stevens. >> reporter: lots of coffee and the end as well. the big question is will vote in person voting members at the polls reflect a member of what we saw with the early voting period in texas because by all accounts records have been broken all over the place when you talk about some 9.7 million ballots that have already been cast, more than half of registered voters in his typically low turnout state and it is more than all the votes in

2016. for years there's been this talk of texas going purple or even blue but analysts predict despite the energy and turnout 2020 is not the year. >> that is possible we don't know. a lot of high turnout means folks we don't have a good read on and it could go either way. i tend to believe donald trump will carry texas narrowly by maybe three or four points but democrats will be increasingly competitive across texas. >> a little bit more on this updated story, late yesterday that federal judge didn't toss out the republican-led lawsuit attempting to invalidate some 127,000 drive-through votes in and around the houston area. he sided with the republican majority state supreme court so those votes will in fact be counted but just out of a precaution the county election clerk in harris county the

houston area will only open one drive-through voting site today so there's no questions of impropriety postelection day. eric: thanks very much. >> the entire presidential campaign has been plagued by the deadly coronavirus pandemic. show biden accuses the president of mishandling the crisis leading to the death of 231,000 americans. the president says his administration has been doing a great job and argued the nation is rounding the curve on the pandemic, donald trump is encouraging city and state leaders to reopen their stores, don't -- mister biden has a better chance recharging the economy while protecting the lives of americans. >> on day one of our presidency,

the plan i have been talking about, masking, social distancing, testing, treason, a plan for fool and fair entry distribution of therapeutics and vaccines when we get one. >> this is a choice between a deadly biden lockdown and a safe vaccine that ends, we are rounding the turn anyway, we have great vaccines coming. >> our panel returns, a former deputy assistant secretary of state under president obama and now the executive director of the american jewish congress, matt bradley, a former deputy assistant to george w. bush and pulitzer prize-winning journalist judy miller at the manhattan institute for policy research. you are up first this round, the president says biden will call for a national lockdown if biden wins. as we know no one can say for

certain exactly when we are going to have a safe and effective faxing, no one can say for certain how many americans will get vaccinated once the vaccine is available to the masses. what is the president's immediate plan to stop the spread and do you believe that the uptick in coronavirus cases will demand lockdown across the country even without a national order. >> a national order is crazy and joe biden thinks he can manage this crisis from washington. you cannot. the president was correct in giving back up which is exactly what our constitution requires, the president give back up to the states and municipalities who are best served when caring for their own people. you heard governor after

governor, democrats, never said no to ventilators or ppe or any of the other requests from hospitals, give them everything they wanted but a national lockdown, one size does not fit all in america. what the federal government can do and what donald trump is doing is making sure he's moving out of the curve, reducing regulation, empowering the private sector as well as the government to come up with therapeutics for vaccine as quickly as possible and to think this can be dictated to, this crisis, by a president walking down the entire nation where the cure is worse than the disease is amazingly inept. shannon: will mister biden implemented nationwide lockdown if he wins and with the notion of such a move discourage or encourage americans to vote for the biden harris ticket? >> as an american i look at results. we see the results of donald trump's failure to lead, 100,000 cases now is where we are, we are surging across the country.

we have 1000 deaths a day and no policy insight, you talk to scientists, anthony fauci protesting where the president is not taking us, which is nowhere. he's having super spreader rallies, no leadership, no masks, no social distancing. where joe biden is taking us is a practical way forward that we are not even experiencing right now. shannon: nationwide lockdown or not? >> joe biden never called for a nationwide lockdown. he called for responsible policies. he called for mask wearing, he called for social distancing, coordination that respects the science and is proactive. he is calling for things the president has been begged to have done by his team since april and he hasn't implemented

it and we are still in the midst of a pandemic that is a total disaster for our country's health and economy. "cavuto" i will ask for a nonpartisan take. which candidate's approach to the pandemic will win these folks who are lining up today on this election day? >> i don't know about today. i know about some of the people who have already voted because i've spoken to them and interviewed them and they are highly motivated by what they believe and told me was what they consider the president's mismanagement of the coronavirus epidemic. this is cost the nation $16 trillion, 125,$000 per household. the president will not even concede that not wearing a mask at a large rally or encouraging his supporters not to do so is good policy undermining neuroscientists is bad policy. the national lockdown as joel

said is a scare tactic. the only thing biden has said as he would have a national mask mandate which makes sense at this point. after all of the deaths we have seen, the 80,000 cases a day, the american people have decided this reality tv show masquerading as a president who cares about the health of his people is no longer entertaining and i think you're going to see it as a major motivating factor in how people vote tomorrow or i should say today and also have voted already, 98 million of them. shannon: we will see. you were referencing 231,000 dead, americans having died from covid-19 but we will see because the president still has a lot of supporters out there. joel, brad, judy, will you are one name wonders now, see you soon, thanks, guys.

>> democratic presidential ticket out in full force on election eve, joe biden and senator kamala harris holding events in ohio and pennsylvania trying to rally voters was just a few hours before polls open. griff jenkins standing by in wilmington, delaware, what is the schedule looking like today? >> going to be busy.

i am in willington. let me give you a first look, you're looking at the parking lot where we believe at some point tonight joe biden will address the nation. we will have to see exactly what turns out, this is the parking lot where he exited his party's nomination at the end of the summer he celebrated his supporters in their cars, he will first today continue to try to turn out voters in a state that may determine the election which is pennsylvania, donald trump won by 44,000 votes and is sizing up to be a nailbiter again, heading to nearby philly first, one of the bluest pocket and pennsylvania were donald trump has cut into some corners and scranton to fire up the hometown crowd. and western pennsylvania he was joined by his wife and lady gaga, he ended his campaign where it all began. >> bentley you for my first stop

as a candidate, and you represent the backbone of this country. hard-working families. >> it will be something to watch because it is ground 0 for the fracking industry, something donald trump has accused biden of wanting to end. running mate kamala harris, her husband and john legend blitzed the houston side of philadelphia, a contrast between the two men at the top of the ticket. >> joe biden is the leader, of strength and empathy. toughness and humility. he understands the measure of a person's ranks is not based on who you put down. it is measured based on who you lift up. >> senator harris will make one more stop today, she will travel to detroit, michigan, another state donald trump narrowly won, the best the biden campaign

hopes to turn blue again. finally some election news, they voted for joe biden. >> thank you very much. >> breaking news again. good job, buddy. for more on this and how joe biden is faring in key battleground states, we go to a biden campaign surrogate. thanks for being with us. as we heard the president went after joe biden on his comment about fracking, he clearly thinks this could hurt biden's chances in pennsylvania. is he right? >> i don't think so. pennsylvania identifies more closely with joe biden than fifth avenue donald trump. he misrepresented what joe biden said about fracking. he's not going to end fracking. he would ended on public lands.

you can't get a more sustainable energy source overnight, natural gas is a bridge to the green future. >> the president tweeted about this. i want to put that on screen and get your reaction as i read it as soon as it appears on screen. biden has vowed to abolish the american oil and natural gas industry and ban fracking. as long as i am president we will remain the number one producer of oil and natural gas on earth and we will remain energy independent. fact check, you are saying that is not true. >> know. is not said that. he has repeated over and over that that is not his position but that is what donald trump says and we are used to him making up things and telling lies. he would rather talk about that than his failed leadership when it comes to solving the kim jong

un -- the covid-19 pandemic. >> are the former vice president say, i heard the words come out of his mouth it there would be no fracking in pennsylvania. >> he said there would be no fracking on public land, not any existing fracking he plans to end. he has repeated that over and over again. that is the truth. >> i wonder if you are tracking early voting and whether you think the tallies are as promising? >> we are optimistic but we know it is going to be a tough fight in nevada. we were all over the state, pulling out voters, trying to get them to vote early. the numbers are looking good but we are not taking anything for granted and that is true and other states, certainly the map is opened up for the democrats we are playing in states nobody would have imagined before, georgia, texas, north carolina. >> the trump camp is speaking confidently about the sunbelt and swing states, all the states

you just mentioned, they seem to think they are going to win all those states and you saw what happened in 2016 for there must be some concerns. >> this is a lot different from 2016, more consistently, trump is an incumbent who has to run on his record. he's not campaigning, he's not talking about anything he has accomplished, his 11 is based on lawsuits. he citizen nevada 30 times, all 3 times, that is what he's trying to do, make the election look like it is not legitimate and he will try to win in the courts because he says he can't win in the ballot box. eric: the president's rallies have been huge and raucous. biden maybe not so much. one thing people talk about is somewhat of a lack of enthusiasm for your candidate and tremendous and susie is in for the sitting president. >> he has always drawn big rallies can he get strength from

people who cheer him on but it is not an expanded base, he's talking to the same people. you see those rallies without masks and social distancing, joe biden has been careful, follow the science, we have been doing car rallies and virtual activities. there is a great deal of enthusiasm, how much a is turnout among the former bernie supporters and we didn't have that in 2016. >> a biden campaign surrogate with lots of interesting stuff on the shelf behind you. we appreciate you being with us this morning. >> a gunman shooting innocent people overseas in the center of the unit. the latest details up next.

>> a mass shooting in the interleaving four people in the suspect recommended, 17 others wounded when authorities say multiple gunmen opened fire across 6 different locations in the city center. we are in the middle of the identity of the assailants the reason for the attack the last report at least one attacker still on the run but we may be learning more. we go to jackie ibanez in new york. >> reporter: here's what we know, four people dead and 7 people wounded, 7 of those, the austrian interior ministry said this is a repulsive terror attack. more than 1000 officers looking for one if not more gunman this morning, this after police shot and killed the 20-year-old suspect who they say was an islamic state sympathizer carrying an assault rifle and fake suicide vest. authority see several homes have

been searched and arrests have been made in connection with the gunmen. residents are urged to avoid the area as the investigation continues. border 6 will be reinforced in children will not be required to go to school today. it started 8:00 monday night when several shots were fired just outside the synagogue. witnesses describe the gunmen is having automatic rifles and firing into large restaurants. >> translator: suddenly the shooting started. we did not know what it was but certainly people who were sitting elsewhere started to run. we were kept standing because we didn't know what was going on. then there was shooting again closer so we started to run away which because we did not know if we were running in the right direction we ran into a hotel and had there. >> a motive is still under investigation this morning, authorities say the possibility it was an anti-semitic attack cannot be ruled out given the

shooting started outside the synagogue. it was closed at the time luckily, donald trump took to twitter saying our prayers are with the people of vienna after yet another vile act of terrorism in europe. these people attacks against innocent people must stop. at a rally monday democratic presidential candidate joe biden said after horrific terrorist attack in vienna we must all stand united against hate and violence. this attack coming just hours before partial lockdown was due to go into effect following a spike of covid-19. >> thanks very much. >> the biden, harrison radical left gain power they will collapse our economy and send your nation, this wonderful nation into a depression. >> donald trump is going to be the first president in 90 years,

that's a lot of presidents, first president in 90 years to finish his term in office with fewer jobs than when he started. >> donald trump is going into the election on the strength of the record-breaking third-quarter gnp gross national product, the president said it is the biggest and best in history adding next year will be even better. joe biden says the recovery is not nearly enough to get this country out of the deep hole from the coronavirus. let's bring in economist john jordan, former navy intelligence officer and overseer at stanford hoover institute so john, donald trump says president biden ruin the economy with a nationwide shutdown although you probably heard earlier biden surrogate say biden would not call for a nationwide shutdown. can donald trump truly get the economy back on track without implementing a coordinated nationwide plan is long this

pandemic persists, businesses trying to reopen, forced to close shortly thereafter because of the coronavirus. >> absolutely, donald trump has led the largest, the most robust economic recovery in modern times. shutdowns don't really work, they cost a lot of money and there's lots of human costs. donald trump recognized from the very beginning the key to solving this was ultimately going to be a vaccine which is why he launched operation warp speed. when everybody else was thrashing about in march donald trump quietly went about the business of making sure these drug companies would be to reduce files in hundreds of millions of doses without getting approval first so the minute they got the approval there would be one or more vaccines, we are ready for distribution. that is where the solution is.

economics really is about expectations, businesses and business owners expectations about the future. if people believe taxation, regulation and shutdowns from the heavy hand of government is going to improve business prospects by all means vote for joe biden but history tells us free market economics. a light touch by the government, lower taxes, regulatory environment that makes sense is where economic prosperity comes from and donald trump understands this, the american people understand this, the majority trust donald trump to handle the economy. eric: marketwatch says, quote, the economy contracted by 31.4% annual in the second quarter as the pandemic of the country even after the third quarter bounce back the economy is still 3.5% smaller than it was at the end of 2019.

also as many as 22.6.6 million people were collecting jobless benefits in early october and more than 1 million people filing new applications for benefits each week. by comparison before the crisis new applications for jobless claims were running in the low 200,000, fewer than 2 million people were collecting benefits each week. if you were the president's economic advisor how would you advise them to control the pandemic while revitalizing economic growth and job growth to pre-abca24 levels? >> to deal with the pandemic you have to deal with the metrics that really matters is people that die for obvious reasons. we planned so much since march, so many of us, 99% chance of surviving.

history is instructive. if you look at the various states, how they are performing economically it's not uniform. you see states that have opened, have sensible regulations that approach this in a reasonable way predominately the south, texas, florida, georgia, shining examples right now are doing much better economically. contrast this with new jersey, new york and illinois all run by democrats that had every hand with regard to shutdowns, those states collectively have twice the unemployment rate of the national average and they are not doing any better against the virus either. we need to take these lessons, follow science, follow the data because the data is very instructive. meanwhile we have is only a month from a vaccine that will hopefully bring this to a end in september but the heavy-handed government regulation never

brought prosperity, it won't and donald trump understand it. >> lots of conversations but no time. thank you for joining us. eric: mail in ballots, legal issues will impact election results. we look at the potential chaos in several battleground states next. trying to keep things running

for those who rely on us. chef: ready! mom: that's why we don't have time to be sick with the flu.

and especially this year, no one has time to get sick. get a flu shot for yourself and those around you too.

eric: eric: the polls are set to open but 100 million americans have already voted early in person or by mail in this historic election was the unprecedented number causing major court battles, republicans and democrats readying themselves to postelection legal fights. joining us is a member of the law firm who served as election

counsel for the are in c. key battleground state of pennsylvania allowing mail in ballots to be counted through friday if postmarked by election day, the trump camp is promising to fight this. do they have a solid argument? >> that is -- there is not a clear indication where that is going to go but most recent, yesterday judge emmet sullivan from federal district court in washington dc order the postal service executives to take what he said were extraordinary measures to make sure ballots were delivered on time. that will mean for pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, these battleground states that postal service is going to have to do everything they can including using i guess priority metal delivery standards to get the

ballots delivered as soon as possible and then any sort of changes in terms of when they can be counted are going to have to be determined with pennsylvania still up in the air. >> delivering them is one thing and counting them is another and there are hundreds of lawsuits across the country. what are the odds we see a repeat of tallahassee in 2000, weeks to finalize the results? >> i wouldn't be surprised if that happens in either house or senate races. for the presidential race that is a very low likelihood. to have the florida situation happen again you've got to have it all come down to one state and the counting system in that state and that is not terribly likely. that being said - i would just

note - eric: hard to have a conversation but my next question was going to be what are the odds we will know who won tuesday night? >> very slim. in michigan for example secretary of state and governor have said don't plan on having results until friday. that i think is good advice for any of these battleground states that are not used to counting mail in ballots and for the first time have to count millions of ballots in a way they never counted before. if we don't have results on tuesday night that just means it is a close election, doesn't mean anybody has done anything wrong, just means the counting is taking a little longer. >> appreciate you getting up earlier staying up really late for us tonight this morning. thank you.

arthel: some final thoughts from judy miller, brad, europe first. >> the president will be elected, he will get 270 electoral votes and republicans will keep the senate, democrats will keep the house, it is all about turnout today, tabulation and oversight. arthel: joel? >> time for the people to be heard. we need to hear the people's voices, the will of the people should rule this country and we will. if all the votes are counted and there's patients in the process and when all the votes were counted joe biden will win. arthel: judy? >> i think for biden it is essential the blue wall which collapsed, those midwestern states, holds for him and for the president i will be looking, as is walter shapiro the new

republic at ohio because no republican has won the presidency without it and they close early. i am going to be up late, you will too, maybe most of the country won't be. arthel: a little unfair but i will give you 20 more seconds. i want to know from you what do you say to americans who are anxious, they want the result tomorrow, we may not know tomorrow night? >> we have to be patient. we have to make sure we have integrity, election based on integrity and democracy that works for all of our country and that means allowing the process to work. it takes time. there is a well-built process for this and it may take extra days. we have to rely on local officials, respected that there are systems in place to protect

the integrity of the vote and allow every ballot to be counted. we have confidence in the people who represent us. arthel: another 30 seconds for you. >> i agree with joel. if we don't have the tabulations and results, we have to give it time and be called and patient and let the process, and make sure they are playing by the rules and not changing the rules or disenfranchising voters. this is what we need to do. shannon: thank you all very much for staying with us on fox news. >> let's hope people rally and

demonstrate peacefully and break things or break laws, that does it for us. if you haven't voted yet, today if you haven't figured out, thanks for joining us for the last 3 hours to begin election day. i'm rick leventhal. eric: "fox and friends first" is up next. have a good and safe election day. your clothes can repel pet hair. look how the shirt on the left attracts pet hair like a magnet! pet hair is no match for bounce. with bounce, you can love your pets, and lint roll less.
