we apologize. in the meantime voters in the crucial battleground state of north carolina are heading to the polls early despite the devastation left by hurricane helene. even in the hardest hit parts of the state there has been widespread turnout. dana marie mcnichol's live in nashville who got slammed by the hurricane. >> good evening. there's a sense of enthusiasm with lines wrapped around the building at an early voting site in nashville like you said hurricane really hit this area very, very hard. so many people said this is just too important to let anything stop them. >> will really care about the outcome of the 2024 election. it is a big priority for us to vote today. we plan weeks in advance this is what we would be doing this morning. >> it means everything to me, family, country. this is a very important election. we have to make our voices heard.

when they get here. if somebody lost their id and the storm they could fill out an exception form here at the polls. jon: international, north carolina where they are still cleaning up. thank you. let's go to byron york he's got the latest on the campaign trail. he is a fox news contributor. interesting we have dueling rallies going on tonight. we have vice president harris in atlanta. we've got former president trump in pennsylvania. and that's kind of where this race is going to come down here, isn't it? a couple of the swing states. >> it really is i would not be surprised to see dueling rallies every night for the next 17 nights. for trump north carolina and georgia are extremely important trump cannot afford to lose any

state he won in 2020. north carolina is the only one he is in danger of doing that. he's got to win there. the truck people are getting more confident about georgia although kamala harris is doing the standard democratic star power that got a lot more star power in the entertainment world, movies, music and all of that. they use it at the end of the campaign. pennsylvania -- make that leaves pennsylvania as the big state. if you look at the polls i think the two are separated by one half of one percentage point and pennsylvania polls. those are accurate and in the past sometimes they have not been this race is almost exactly tied in pennsylvania. jon: it seems like a year ago this was a race between donald trump and the octogenarian joe biden. trump made a big issue of biden's age and fitness. now it is a trump versus a much younger kamala harris.

she said he is exhausted. here was his retort to that. >> kamala harris said. [inaudible] are you exhausted? she doesn't go to events. i've got 48 days now without arrested. tell me when you see me even take a little bit of arrest. i am not even tired. i'm really exhilarated. jon: really exhilarated he said there he is on stage now and pennsylvania. byron york going to get back to you little later on but were going to listen now to the former president and his or rally. >> actually called him in those days saudi carries a very strong men who carry sod. they did not have trucks to track that they had strong people carrying he was the strongest of them all. he had a son but they had no money. he worked at latrobe they

treated him good because he could do more work than anybody else his son started to grow up in royce's son was really strong like him. but he'd never had a chance to play golf. he had no money at all. his son was named arnold and went arnold was four and five years old they had no money to buy a club. he could not buy a club, not one. they used to go to the back and is told to me by arnold, i have it firsthand they used to go to the room when the members were in check out members of clubs and use the members of clubs two or three of them at night street late at night hit balls with his son he would watch his son every move and realized his son had great talent. and then his son got older and stronger and then he got stronger and stronger and his father said this is crazy what's going on with this kid? and finally he was able to save up enough money to get him some clubs but they were not strong enough. arnold was a break in the meet

swing a regular club and he would break it because he was so powerful. they went back to the members have bofbags they could not affd another set use very stiff shafted clubs very strong for those golfers that's like good golfers with power very stiff shafted. and he would get better and better. and then he went to high school and went also to championships one after another and beat the rich kids. he would kill them pretty beat them so badly, he loved it beating them even though he was a nice guy but he was tough. he was a tough cookie arnold, i got to know them really well. and beat them over and over again. and then he got a set of clubs and got even better. he won every championship. he got into wake forest, you know that, right? awake before she was immediately as a freshman the captain of the team. there is a mandate mark mccormick. mark mccormick founded ing.

that's on the biggest entertainment companies in the world today. he wanted to be a professional golfer he didn't go to awake force you into another college college, another school. i won't say it which because honestly i did not want to look it up. it wasn't worth it but a good golf college pretty wanted to be a pro he's a good golfer, very, very good. he had the privilege of playing arnold palmer and a match between a wake forest in his college. and the way he tells it he was playing fantastically well at mark mccormick a very famous man the founder of the biggest entertainment company he was playing very well. playing arnold arnold was just arnold. he was better than anybody else in college. somebody shouted over too mark mccormick how are you playing? he said playing great, can't play better how're you doing? i am six down.

any realize at the end of the match he would never be a pro we could never beat a guy like t this. he said he was longer, straighter, chipped better, played a better and thought better. other than that they were very close. but he gave it up pretty set i'm not going to be a golfer. he went to arnold and said you are going to be turning pro and you're going to make a lot of money. my second choice would start representing people that are talented. i would like for you to be my first client they made a deal where arnold owned a big piece of the company he started winning immediately. winning immediately. made a lot of money for him and mark mccormick became the agent. and then, because of arnold's success ing which most of you know is very big now. big hollywood stars, everything. became a well-known started signing a lot of other players

and a lot of other people he started with hollywood and they signed hollywood stars to begin the biggest of those companies like william morris and all of them. it was all because of arnold. arnold was a very rich man said to arnold i got to know it when you 69 years old i played pretty much with him a lot of him. and as he got older you know when you get older you start to lose a thing called distance. and i'm a good golfer. not like that but i am a good golfer. i felt so good i was hitting it a little bit longer than arnold. but he was by this time about 75 or 76. i would hit it 40 or five years ago when he asked 30 years ago, 40 year old considered dominant wasn't present or close at that time that was long before i decided.

[inaudible] you're talking about a great man. >> latrobe, pennsylvania is an area at donald trump won and 2016 for he is there holding one of his signature rallies. there is story about local favorite son late golf superstar really arnold palmer. we have much more ahead much more at stake than just the white house this election day. senate races the one between bob casey and david mccormick in pennsylvania for instance could decide the balance of power in the upper chamber. more on that and in a look at e other key contest coming up.

jon: wee we took you to the trp rally a short time ago before the commercial break. now we are at a rally in atlanta

vice president kamala harris will be appearing the musical superstar usher endorsing her there. we will take you back there when kamala harris speaks. in the meantime the election countdown is on a number of down ballot campaigns appeared to be dodging the vice president some vulnerable members of her party are drawing connections with former president trump in some new ads. let's bring in pete is a gop strategist. they say it's happening in places like pennsylvania. his tongue and sells a donald trump question. >> yes bob casey is doing in pennsylvania. brown is doing in ohio. tammy baldwin is doing it in wisconsin. two of those in pennsylvania and wisconsin important states to both harrison donald trump and

getting 270 electoral college votes. what is so interesting to me about this is the issues they are focused on in these ads appeared bob casey is talk about trading. tammy baldwin made in america immigration and the border. they could run ads on just the issues themselves. but instead they tried to invoke a donald trump use images of donald trump in these ads. they are breaking up with kamala harris and flirted with donald trump because their political prospects depend on it. >> so in a state like pennsylvania work trump seems to be edging out he seems to have the lead there. i buy like bob casey is not a way to hurt him to tie himself to donald trump if he is looking at internal polls donald trump is starting to get a healthy

lead in that stage and that kamala harris is starting to fall behind, he is going to put himself first and forget about kamala harris. think back to june and july right after the first presidential debate between joe biden donald trump. a lot of senate democrat incumbents, jon tester in montana at being another started to distance themselves from joe biden. they did not want him to weigh down their chances at reelection, what happened question at joe biden end up dropping out of that race. we are now a fortnite and a couple days away from election day. vulnerable senate democrats are starting to do the same with the kamala harris. what does that portend for her campaign? >> what about the coattails it would seem a sitting vice president would have some.

>> you would think so. has coattails and she kamala harris does not. it has never been about kamala harris. she is been the democratic party nominee. it's all about not being joe biden so then is what her campaign is based on of her effort she could not even talk about what her own policies or because she doesn't have any she does not have a vision for the future. all she had was tax and negativity toward the former president. that is her entire campaign is i'm not donald trump. >> is go back to pennsylvania to find this fascinating. democratic senator from pennsylvania is invoking and even using donald trump image in his ads.

what does that do four or may be against david mccormick the republican candidate not race? >> bob casey is also doing this. he has fashioned himself as a moderate as a centrist throughout his political career. but he has been and lockstep with the un- abbasid the biden-harris agenda he in fact is voted with them not 80% of the time, not 90% of the time but 98% of the time bob casey has been with the biden/harris. he needs to do something to pretend he is a little closer to the middle that something is putting donald trump in his ads. look he has now put a target on him. donald trump is going to take note by the trump campaign already has her b a blessing out e-mails about these particular ads. you can bet trump is going to

put his sights on bob casey and the others is going to backfire on them. >> the senate is very much up for grabs but republicans are feeling they have a pretty good chance to get control of the senate. are there other states in which democratic candidates are tying themselves to donald trump are trying to? >> yes tammy baldwin and wisconsin as i said, brown and ohio, alyssa is a member of congress in michigan the democrat nominee she is doing it as well. the most dangerous thing a prognosticator can do is get ahead of themselves. in this case that's getting ahead of polls because the polls of today are not necessarily the results of tomorrow. anything can happen. but, this is something we need to pay attention to that democrats are trying to tie

themselves to donald trump. and keep in mind this is not just about the majority in the senate which republicans have a very, very high probability of capturing. who replaces mitch mcconnell as majority leader? you get more republican senators to win. that's a larger voting pool of senators in the caucus. these folks who are not necessarily expected to win could be the decision-makers in that race. jon: republican strategist thank you very much. jon: vice president harris is set to speak at any moment at her rally in atlanta. let's bring back byron york fox news contributor. i want to put up the real clear politics average of the battleground states for art control room this is number three on our list. at looks, at least moment in time looks pretty good for

donald trump. he is up in arizona, georgia, up by a tenth of a point in wisconsin. he is up in michigan and up in pennsylvania. do you think that really reflects the state of the race right now? >> what you say about a race in which one it candidate leads the other by one tenth of one percentage point? it's really hard to make a lot of assumptions about that. on the other hand he is up in every single one of them. does that indicate a slight lead in all the states? we know harris still has a slight lead nationally but not sure completely what that means for this a lot of republicans and some democrats think that even if harris has a two or three percentage point lead nationally that means trump is probably going to do well there is an electoral college advantage some republican candidates have there. it's not entirely clear. but it is interesting trump has

pulled ahead and all the states. you've got to remember what he has to do which trump is going to win he's got to win every state that he wanted 2020 but north carolina is the only possible loss there. if he does when that he needs to win georgia. any only wins pennsylvania he can win. but if he doesn't went pennsylvania can win in michigan, wisconsin and some companies with arizona as well. he's got to win the states he lost in 2020. on the flipside what kamala harris has to do unless you can pick off north carolina or georgia from donald trump got to and all through the rust belt states all three of them and that's what we're s we are seeir try so hard there. jon: is kind of a gender divide with donald trump doing very well with men kamala harris doing well with women.

they are strong enough to vote for harris. here's a sample of that. >> a man enough to be emotional in front of my wife. in front of my kids, in front of my horse. i man enough to tie i cry. >> good will hunting. >> west side story books would think effective? [laughter] well that would took a lot of ridicule on social media. not for me but it took a lot of ridicule. a lot of republicans think harris is a white dudes and for harris. men who are strong enough to vote for harris but those appeals are not really hitting home. because it trump has such a strong lead among men. now, in the popular vote harris has an even stronger lead among women. i think this is the most divided by gender we have ever seen the presidential electorate may change in the next 17 days. but trump really has a huge lead

among men. that is what is scaring the harris campaign so much. it is all men. visit gendered gap among hispanic men it doesn't matter it is ei a mail/female sort of thing. jon: fascinating race. stick with this. byron york at thank you and we will be right back. >> thank you john. with the money i saved i thought i'd get a wax figure of myself. oh! right in the temporal lobe! beat it, punks! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ feeling ughh from a backed up gut? ughh. miralax works naturally with the water in your body to help you go. free your gut and your mood will follow. for 8 grams of fiber, try mirafiber gummies. you'll find them in cities, towns and suburbs all across america. millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid, but may be missing benefits they could really use. extra
