6:02 am
campaigns right now in the final 48 hours on the trail. it will be an all-out sprint to the finish and we're going to show you that momentarily. good morning, everybody. hope you set your clocks back, right? >> yes. >> we did. luckily. i'm bill hammer. >> i'm dana perino. this is america's newsroom. i actually panicked. the phones change automatically. you think did it, did it not. i had one clock that is old fashioned. i was afraid i would be late. the candidates are crisscrossing the battlegrounds. kamala harris is in michigan tonight. >> all three of those states matter if he wins all three he will be the next president. former president starts his day in pennsylvania, that's scheduled for one hour from now, 10:00 a.m. eastern time. >> we have team fox coverage. karl rove is here. first let's go to brian llenas in philadelphia for a chance to set us up for the day.
6:03 am
hi, brian. >> reporter: good morning. a few votes here and there will decide toes-up race in pennsylvania, former president starting his day in a rally in lancaster county, that is a county he won by 45,000 votes in 2016 and in 2020. if he's going to win pennsylvania, he has to run up the score there again. now, look, in terms of the turnout here in pennsylvania, expect the former president to talk a big game about swamping the vote. he'll also mention the criminal investigation underway by the da in lancaster into hundreds of fraudulent voter registration forms found there, that's what we expect. democrats ramped up their get out the vote efforts in pennsylvania, knocking on 800,000 doors on saturday alone, particularly in philadelphia where the former mayor says vice president harris is going to need historic turnout to win by 600,000 votes, eclipsing former president obama's performance here. deborah from maryland
6:04 am
volunteered in philly in the past four elections. >> this is the most doors i've done. enthusiasm level is much higher right now. we had a lot more negative reaction at the door in '16 and '20 and a lot more undecided. here, people seem to know this round who they're voting for. >> reporter: former president trump did better in philadelphia in 2020 than he did in 2016, improving most in philly's poorest neighborhoods. republicans are knocking on doors and feeling good. >> if we can get 20, maybe 30,000 more votes, we're going to win the state of pennsylvania. people in philadelphia, we're not rich here. okay. the ba bachs are killing us at e grocery storm that's what i think it's all about. >> reporter: amid concerns about latino and black voter turnout here, harris is holding her last campaign event tomorrow night, right in front of the iconic art museum steps, a concert here in
6:05 am
philadelphia. dana. >> brian, thank you so much. bilker kick us off with the billboard. >> we've had a flood of polls over the past 24, 36 hours, just going to tick through them quickly here. this is abc news, he said, sunday morning, plus or minus 2 points. this is nationally, they've got harris with a 3 point edge. we had trump with a 2 point edge nationally in our fox polling a week ago. another one here. so just among the swing states, new york times, came out late last night. plus or minus 1.3 points, a small moe which shows you the right, you know, harris has a 1 point lead. but that could go either way based on the margin of error. this right here is -- this is the one that everybody was shooting around social media last night. this is the des moines register in iowa, ann sellsers poll, we'll explain that in a moment with carl coming up. in iowa, des moines register, plus or 3.4 points, okay. they've got a flip now.
6:06 am
they had trump up a month ago. they've got harris up today by 3 points, 47, 44. we can debate this and we'll all find out come tuesday how this holds up. it's got a pretty good reputation. i'll bring a karl rove in on that and dana as well. of the three things i showed you, what stands out? what are you see on? >> how tight it is. think about this, this is inside the margin of error, not simply the national polls. you can say somebody is ahead by 2 points nationally but hillary clinton was ahead in the p popur vote by 2.1 and she lost. itis the dynamic different this time around? these things are on knife's edge when we have polls showing us 1 point, 2 point or if you average them together in the states, think about this, pennsylvania, real clear politics says pennsylvania is seven tenths of
6:07 am
1% for trump, 538 says one tenth of 1% for trump and silver bulletin says three tenths of 1%. if that doesn't scare you, it's flat lined in real clear politics and down from trump from previous numbers from 538. >> this is usa today, suffolk poll, kamala harris 49, donald trump, 49, in pennsylvania and that is likely pennsylvania voters. i want to ask about this iowa poll. it's great to have you here to be able to explain it. this is one thing that nate silver said about it, that the poll had little effect on top line electoral college numbers because iowa has a 1% chance of being the tipping point state. he also said that ann sellser who put out the poll showing harris having momentum in iowa that it was gutsy for her to put the poll out because it's such an outlier. she's an honest broker and that's what she found. >> even great pollsters don't
6:08 am
get it right every time. the biggest thing about the poll is that it would show an 11 point shift from the outsome of the 2020 election which would mean roughly one out of five people who supported donald trump in iowa in 2020 would today say i'm voting for harris and i think we would feel that. we have an emerson poll that shows a 7 point margin for trump, he may be underperforming what he did four years ago but he's not underperforming 11 points. we would feel that. >> also if harris and walz thought they would win iowa wouldn't they have actually made a visit? >> they would. look, the last -- you may remember our experience in 2004. there was one poll in hawaii that showed bush, clay any in striking dista distance and thee president said i want to go to hawaii. president trump was in salem, virginia and albuquerque new mexico. there's no real evidence that either one of those states are close. maybe an outlier poll or inside
6:09 am
the -- >> you start to think iowa has 6 electoral votes. based on the battleground states, you can see a path for either one where iowa in the end may not even matter but if iowa's thinking that way, if that poll is correct, you've got to think maybe wisconsin is thinking that way as well. something to consider as we go into tuesday night. back in history in 2020, in september of 2020, that same poll in iowa had trump and biden tied. a month later, that same poll had trump up 7 points. won the state by 8. four years prior he won the state by 9. is it conceivable that a state like iowa would have a 11 to 12 point swing in such a short period of time? >> i don't think so. that's why i discount this one. and look, we've got -- as you said, they've got plenty to say grace over. they've got seven states that everyone acknowledges are battleground states and which
6:10 am
everyone acknowledges are close. if you take a look at, again, these three averages, real clear politics, 538 and silver bulletin, there's not a single state that is greater than 22 2 and-a-half percent -- 2.9%. think about that, seven battleground states times three averages, 2 21 data points, sevn are 1 to 1.9 separating the two candidates and 10 have less than 1% separating them. these are all within the margin of error. >> is this the closest election you've ever either been a part of or reported on? >> absolutely. in fact, it's not only the closest, to me the other thing is how remarkably stable it's been. i put this in my wall street journal column thursday. between september 25th and last thursday, last wednesday, she dropped three tenths of 1% in the national average and he grew nine tenths of 1%. we're used to elections where
6:11 am
reagan debates carter and there's a 7 or 8 point switch. you know, we're used to these things where in september and october -- think about this. hillary clinton last -- at this point last week was like 5 points up, 66 p 6 points up. as of today in 2016, she was 1.8% up and ended up 2.1 in the popular vote. joe biden was up on this date, this close to the election, he was up 7.2% in the real clear politics average and ended up getting a popular vote margin of 4.5 so a 3 point swing theoretically in the polls in a matter of a couple of days. >> could be arguably a landslide. in the new york times polling we showed in the swing states it concludes by saying across these final polls, white democrats were 16% likelier to respond than white republicans. now, the pollsters have been trying to compensate for the miss in 2016 and the miss in 2020. we're not going to know whether
6:12 am
or not they were able to nail it. >> remember -- >> until tuesday. >> remember what they're doing here, they're using the recalled vote. they're asking people do you remember who you voted for and then they're adjusting the samples so that the outcomes are reflective of that percentage of the 2020 vote. so they're trying to compensate for the failure of certain groups to underreport. the question is, is somebody who says i recall voting for trump or biden the same as a person who actually voted for trump or biden? and there is a thing in polling we call nonresponsive vie bass . it's out there. i think it affects everybody. the question is, is the way they're trying to deal with this -- >> sound. >> sound. >> yeah. okay. well, thank you for being here. i know you've got another show you're heading over to do. thank you so much. don't miss our special coverage on election night. bret baier and martha maccallum are your anchors. bill will be at the board.
6:13 am
it kicks off at 6:00 p.m. eastern, right after the five, right here on the fox news channel. you're looking live now, this is in pennsylvania, the former president trump about to rally supporters, one of three rallies today so we'll bring that to you when he steps to the stage in lancaster, pa, plus there's this. have a look. >> now, kamala, take my palmala. the american people want to stop the chaos and end the dramala. >> vice president harris making a surprise appearance on saturday night live but looks like the show did not invite donald trump. is that fair? we'll take a closer look at the media's handling of the race. >> also, polling and polling and more polling and in the end who is going to be right? who is going to be standing at the end and saying that what we told you happened? we're about to find out. >> the polls are showing we're going to win everything, we're going to win the popular vote. we're going to win everything.
6:14 am

6:17 am
6:18 am
6:19 am
all right, north carolina. so we have three days left and one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime and we still have work to do. >> this is a very important state and we have to get this solved. we have to get you out and we can't take a chance of losing the great state of north carolina. we're not going to lose the
6:20 am
great state of north carolina. >> here we go now, two days and counting. remember when we were starting this thing, 60 days ago, home stretch right now. state of the race, this is what our forecasts have been looking like. this goes back more than a month. we think everything in gold and/or yellow is a toss-up, right? but about a week ago we had arizona lean republican so we gave it that little rose red color there. i don't know what's going on in iowa, dana, right? we've got it likely republican. trump won it 9 points in 2016. won it 8 points in 2020. so we'll see how that goes. here's another thing to look at, all right. this is the new york times from overnight, okay. these are all the swing states. everything super close as best as we can tell. look, someone's going to be right. someone's going to be wrong. that's what it comes down to. they've got trump ahead in arizona. they've got her up a point in georgia. they've got a dead tie in michigan. they've got carolina harris
6:21 am
leading there by 2. they've got harris up 3 in nevada. if you look at early voting in nevada, republicans have done a good job of turning out their voters. they've got a lead right there by almost 5 points now in the early voting in nevada. pennsylvania, flat-out tie right there. i'll come back to that in a moment. and they've got wisconsin up 2. so what do we know? james blair might know a two things, political director, rnc, trump campaign. good morning to you. give us your state of the rate right now. what does your campaign see? >> we're very optimistic right now. we feel good about where things are right now. what we're watching are people are voting and what we've seen is historic early voting by republican, outperforming 2020 or even 2022 so from our perch things look pretty good right now. i'm sure we'll go state by state but high lights, north carolina we won the early vote. that never happened before. nevada, the mail dumps are coming in, they're not as blue
6:22 am
as democrats would like them to be. >> i would like to read this. across these final polls white democrats were 16% likelier to respond than white republicans. that's a larger disparity than our earlier polls this year and it's not much better than our final polls in 2020, even with the pandemic over. it is raises the possibility the polls could underestimate mr. trump yet again. we do a lot to account for this but in the end there are no guarantees. how do you read that? >> i think it's covering. i think they know where things stand. look, in all of those polls, in all the battleground states i heard karl talking about the recall vote, they set the electorate to the left of between. 2020which doesn't comport to whe know, that all the electorates have moved to the right. we see that starting to manifest in the early voting patterns. so i think that they're sort of putting cover out there because they're going to under-represent
6:23 am
president trump's support. what they essentially are saying there is we've got too many democrats in the survey, we don't have enough republicans. we know that but we're going to publish these numbers on the eve of the election anyway. >> the pollsters told us they accounted for this because of missing 16, missing 2020, we'll see whether or not that's happens. wall street journal has been a big target for your campaign. young men could boost trump to victory if they show up, that's the headline. what are you seeing out there in the battlegrounds? >> let's talk about the partisan registration states where they register by party because you don't have to take my word for i you can look for yourself. nevada, arizona, pennsylvania, north carolina, republicans have turned out more zero for voters and one in four vote he's so less frequently or newly he registered voters than dammings have in every one of those states. it's working on our apartment we're turning out lower propensity voters, be they young men or otherwise. everything you can measure right now suggests it's going well for us. >> my sense is on tuesday we're
6:24 am
going to be spending a lot of time in pennsylvania. maybe that's right. maybe it's wrong. but this eight years ago, this is trump winning that state by 44,000 votes over hillary clinton. four years ago, this is biden winning the state by 81,000 votes in 2020. we'll see. just my sense that the keystone state will be very critical and key come tuesday. how much can your campaign do in the closing 48 hours? >> a l we can keep getting out the development let's talk about pennsylvania. right now there's nearly 700,000 registered democrats in the state of pennsylvania who had cast a vote by this point in 2020 or 2022 and they haven't cast a vote yet and don't have mailed ballots. that's a huge hurdle for them to climb. we talked about voter registration before. to put a fine point on it, there was 685,000 more registered democrats in the state of pennsylvania four years ago than
6:25 am
republicans. today the number is cut to 280,000 so a huge swing in our direction. >> james blair, thank you for your time. i know you're working day and night. thanks for coming on today. we'll see who is right. >> the battle over ballots in full swing and it's raging especially hard in a swing state that's pivotal for both sides, that's next. vice president kamala harris does a 180 on her message. it's calling for unity. the whip lash is real. we'll be right back. >> i have lived the promise of america and today i see the promise of america in everyone who is here right now, in all of you, in all of us if you might pray with me real quick. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed.

6:30 am
>> welcome back. special coverage sunday morning as dana said, don't change that dial on your set. are there still dials, dana?
6:31 am
remotes, right. >> in 8% of households. >> how many? did you know that. >> no, i'm making it up. >> that's like chatgpt. this is georgia from four years ago, joe biden winning by 0.2 percentage points for a grand total of fewer than 12,000 votes in georgia. now with 16 electoral votes, atlanta is fulton county, fulton county is number one of 159 in population. you get a lot of democratic votes out of fulton county. already there are legal challenges and for that madison alworth is running it down, she's live in atlanta right now, hey, what are you seeing? good morning. >> reporter: good morning, bill. election day is still two days away but the legal challenges are coming fast and furious here in the peach state. republicans are suing six counties here in georgia over their decision to keep election offices opened this weekend to collect absentee ballots in person after early voting ended. the gop says that's a violation of state law which states that drop boxes are not allowed after
6:32 am
early voting ends. the counties, however, say this is in line with the law because ballots are being handed in to election officials, not being deposited in drop boxes. a georgia judge tossed the initial suit but georgia republicans tell us a federal lawsuit is imminent and that they will also appeal the state decision. republicans did have a victory, though. initially fulton county was not allowing poll watchers to observe the dropoffs but georgia's secretary of state stepped in and all counties allowed poll watchers which is in line with the law. he said he is not surprised by the legal challenges. >> they fight and represent to make sure everyone is following the law. that's what we're asking, follow the law, follow the constitution. >> reporter: in anticipation of more legal challenges the nonprofit election defense fund is aiming to raise $5 million for legal fees of election officials. they have already raised $2
6:33 am
million. bill. >> okay, madison, thanks. nice to have you down there, fulton county, atlanta, georgia, madison alworth. thanks. >> meanwhile, the harris campaign launching a closing ad focusing on unity. two fox contributors are now here, guy benson and robert wolf, gentlemen, good morning to you. couple things. let's go ahead and cue up the ad, pushing j unity. there's a clip of that. goes like this. >> we see in our fellow americans neighbors not enemies, we believe in each other. >> nice message. kind of soothing until you go to this from the past two weeks. watch here. >> do you think donald trump is a fascist. >> yes, i do. yes, i do. >> i want to explain that in politics a good rule of thumb is don't say you want to do anything like hitler. >> puerto rico, where i'm -- my home state of delaware, they're good and decent, honorable people. the only garbage i see floating
6:34 am
out there is his supporters. >> donald trump, you never see him around strong intelligent women, ever. it's just that simple. they're intimidating to him. he doesn't like to be challenged by them. >> so -- that's the opposite of unity. >> here's the way i would frame it. i think the first 90 days it was the ads for her were to define herself and defend herself and attack the trump policies. the last 30 days have been about contrast. doesn't surprise me she put out a unity type ad. when you're talking about a sprint election for the vice president, not someone that's been running for nine months, it doesn't surprise me that you actually shift very quickly to where the contrast is because we know 80% a choice election. i like that ad a lot, it shows a contrast, shows that she's going after a lot of the nikki haley voters. >> another contrast, this is
6:35 am
donald trump's latest ad, guy benson, get you to reply. >> the only garbage i see out there are his supporters. >> if donald trump can get through all of that, we can get out to vote. >> so the deplorable garbage people, they stick together and how do you think this is going into the last 24, 48 hours? >> i think the ad from her is aimed at last minute undecided independent types. that ad from him is trying to boost turnout among his base on election day. >> does he need? >> well, i think you do need it, if you're the republicans, a big turnout on election day from republican voters as has been expected you need to materialize the voters to swamp whatever advantages democrats may or may not have in the early voting. i think both in some ways make sense for each campaign, with the democrats for all the reasons you pointed out, i think it's ridiculous for them to be talking about unity, having screamed lit.
6:36 am
screamed hitler, nazi, fascist garbage for days. they're trying to win them over. trump is trying to goose the base to say the lower propensity voters who prefer him to be president, please come out on tuesday. >> if she wins, you wonder how his voters react. i mean, they've been called bar gang and all this other stuff that you rattled off. and joe biden dropped a whopper over the weekend, right? cue it up. here we go. >> there's one more thing trump and his republican friends want to do. they want another giant tax cut for the wealthy. now, i know some of you guys are tempted to think this macho guy, i tell you what, man, when i was in scranton, i used to -- we used to have a little trouble goings down to the plot once in a while. but i'm serious. these are the kind of guys you'd like to smack in the ass. >> what was that about? >> well, you know i have a soft spot for joe biden.
6:37 am
what i would say is i'm glad he was in scranton in front of the union group when he walked in, you didn't show the standing ovation he got. i think he could be helpful to the vice president in scranton. my gut told me, i've been told this will be his last time that he's on the stump and you know, i think he once said he would take trump behind the wood shed a couple years back so maybe this is his closing act. >> i am interested in this union vote, guy, because some of the union leadership went ahead and endorsed hair r harris, not. significant numbers didn't. the rank and file seem to be very much with trump. we're living through this amazing political realignment that's been going on for about a decade. >> and does that from joe biden appeal really to anyone who is not already voting for the democrats? his closing argument, the president is garbage and butt slapping, it's an odd way to frame it up. i think the harris campaign believes these last two
6:38 am
appearances from biden were two too many from him but he wants to be out there. i think he's hurt that he's not out there. but this is why they're not putting him out there. by the way, he started the clip talking about the economy and tax cuts and that sort of thing. i'm not sure the democrats have a terribly strong economic argument especially with the jobs report this week which was disastrously bad. they would much rather be talking about what trump said and made up thing about liz clay nivment they're trying to dominate a conversation on other things rather than some of the huge policy shortcomings of the current administration. >> you make a great point. less than a minute here. i know you're getting phone calls and text messages all day long because friends and family want to know what you think. so what do you think? >> i would say this is the first week i'm optimistic that i think the vice president and walz will win and the reason being is they have more options than they've ever had before. i think they're going to win north carolina. >> options electorally. >> options electorally. i think they're going to win
6:39 am
north carolina. i think stein is going to beat robinson by 13 to 14 points. >> on the governors race. >> on the governors race. it was one and-a-half points for biden. i think we're underestimating the women's reproductive rights in arizona and nevada. the ground game is insane. i was just in pennsylvania. they knocked on 1 and-a-half million doors and did 15 million phone calls. i think the ground game is bigger than trumps. >> i don't know how to trust the numbers, how to trust my own instincts. there's a lot that's fluid. the new york times polls look better from her, nate come from the times said we're having trouble contacting republicans to talk to them on the phone. it's a bit of a black box again. >> you know what i tell my friends that text me? we'll see. we'll see. they want personal concierge punditry and i will give them that. i appreciate you coming in on a
