you've never heard that from anybody but me. i've had it in my mind for a long time. i didn't want to tell these guys about it because they would only screw it up like they do everything else. that i say it now because now we have the election coming up in in amatter of hours. we are not going to let them destroy our country. most of our crime, probably 60% of our crime is caused by drugs, people taking drugs. they cause tremendous amounts of crime. you would see crime rates plummet if we didn't have that. the sad thing is crime is plummeting all over the world because they are sending their criminals, they are gang members, sending their drug dealers, sending their mental patience from all these institutions. they are sending them into our country and --

>> jon: at 2:00 a.m. in grand rapids, michigan, where donald trump is an hour into his last rally of this 2024 campaign. he shows no signs of slowing down. also 2:00 a.m. here in new york. i'm jon scott. that means it is 11:00 p.m. in california. we thank you for joining us. for some details on the last days of campaigning. molly? >> molly: yes, he won in michigan in 2016 and he would like to see a victory again, so spending a lot of time there. for the details on this last day of campaigning return now to fox news correspondent kevin corke. kevin, to, to you. >> what a great night to be with you this has been a real sprint to the finish. frankly nothing short of extraordinary when you think about it. we have been covering politics for quite some time, but it never gets old, especially with both candidates are urging supporters at this very hour to get out there and vote, capping

the final day of campaigning in 2024. by the way, doing so in the blue all states. harris even welcoming entertainment mogul oprah winfrey to her finale. meanwhile the former president donald trump taking his show on the road, and i mean literally, folks. we are talking about rallies in the tar heel state of north carolina, a pair of events in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, and then lastly in the great state of michigan where he wrapped up his previous campaign. you may remember that. if you've been watching throughout the night, especially after 9:00, you may have noticed we mentioned this. oprah winfrey showed up to express her support for the vice president, that president trump got a major endorsement tonight from an entertainment juggernaut with his very own. we are talking about podcaster joe rogan. he promised his expressed support for mr. trump, and that is no small feat when you consider his considerable following on social media and

elsewhere. meantime, we have also been following the real clear politics average on polling throughout the night, and frankly throughout the campaign. you may find this interesting. actually right now it is tied, 48.5 248.5. neck and neck, but if you dive a little deeper into the numbers, former president trump is leading according to the real clear politics in five of the seven swing states at this hour. and they are also predicting a slight electoral college lead for mr. trump and they are saying right now, if it were to happen, according to what it looks like, they win on election day. if that happens he will be the first president of course since grover cleveland to win nonconsecutive terms in office. i'll be here with you not just tonight but tomorrow, as well. for now, back to you. >> molly: thank you very much. delightful breakdown. the results coming in from

dixville notch, that's how we begin election day. >> jon: it takes 270 electoral votes to win the 2024 presidential election. vice president kamala harris' easiest path to victory run through the rust belt. trump's run the sun belt. but what happens if trump were to win pennsylvania or if harris were to win north carolina? joining us now to hash through all of this, john duffy, the associate editor at "the wall street journal." karen skinner, fox news contributor, research fellow and professor of international relations and politics at pepperdine university, and leslie marshall, fox news contributor. thanks, all of you, for being with us in these early hours of election day. to you first. do you have a gut feeling? we just heard kevin talking about donald trump being up in five of the seven swing states. do you agree with the numbers?

what does that mean? >> it's a jump ball, jon. it is unclear at this point if either candidate has a lead. it's been back and forth in the polls for months now. if you were to look at the electoral college, we have a very good sort of graphic up right now that james benedict did. you need 270 votes, electoral votes, to win. there are 93 of those votes available in the seven swing states. right now, by the best estimates that we could make from the various polls, harris has 226 of those votes. trump has 219, almost even. harris has about 20 different combinations of what could happen in those seven swing states, to get to 270.

and donald trump has 21 possible combinations. it is very much still a jump ball. it is unclear whether any candidate has an advantage at this particular point. we have to wait until the election results come in. >> jon: kiron, much has been made of the fact that republicans who have traditionally voted on election day turned out en masse to vote early. republican operatives are saying this is great, it means that we are going to win in a landslide. do you agree with that analysis? >> i agree for a number of reasons. one, it's not just that republicans have voted early in record numbers. it is the type of republican voter. many rural voters have come out in big numbers. on the other side, independent

women and many urban voters, including african americans and other people of color that were expected to swell the voting booths early have not for the democratic side. there was a unique momentum that has happened for president donald trump's candidacy that can't be ignored. i think the momentum, the math, the moment, all suggest that he will prevail later today. i guess that is the day we are in. i'm out here in california. so this is a very good time for donald trump. it really is the best time in his political career in terms of elections. i've been reflecting on this campaign, especially tonight, listening to the speech. thank you for playing so much of it. i started on this journey as a

member of trump's presidential campaign in 2016, and on the transition team later that year after he won. now i am a professor at pepperdine, a fellow at the hoover institution and a fox news contributor, but i have seen this for almost a decade. and this is the most disciplined presidential campaign donald trump has won. it is the most disciplined message. he is pulling off something that is extremely difficult to do. on the one side he is talking about the way ronald reagan ran his campaign, but then also pivoting to the hard realities of high inflation, unemployment, despair, the porter problems that the u.s. faces, the wars abroad that weren't taking place when he left office. and he is saying we can fix the

one side and get to the bright side of the american dream. and it is resonating with voters that aren't expected for donald trump. that is what i'm hearing tonight and that is what i have been seeing for the last couple of weeks. >> jon: leslie, there should be headwinds for the harris campaign. the right track, wrong track numbers, where the 70% of americans say they think we are on the wrong track as a country. kamala harris obviously has been part of for the last four years. on top of that, the economic situation is a big worry for many americans, and that is usually -- i think it is again this year -- the biggest issue in a campaign. that's the case, why is this race so close? >> i have so much to unpack you. first of all entergy have african americans in record numbers so it's not really true about black voters. and when it comes down to it, they are two paths to 269-269

but that's a whole 'nother chapter. it is interesting you say that, jon. if i were a republican i would be asking that more than a democrat. kamala harris has been campaigning for 90 days. she has done this in 90 days. and i don't care who you are, you've got to give credit where credit is due. an incredible campaign has been run. donald trump has been campaigning since he left office. donald trump is a former president. donald trump is viewed as an incumbent. he should be double digits ahead. for anybody to say the word "landslide" on either side, they are lying. it's disingenuous. it's not going to be a landslide either way. this is a very tight and very close election. jon is absolutely right. this is tied very close. one of them is up day after day, and that's what it comes down to. the economy, that something i don't understand, because when

you look at numbers, which the economy is, the united states is the strongest economy in the world. inflation is coming down. the feds are going to reduce rates yet again. lowest unemployment rate. highest job growth. the list goes on. even economists with a republican bent have said that joe biden should take a victory lap on this in this administration, which the vice president is part of. but it hasn't trickled down, if you will come into the feeling. i say the feeling because it really is, what do people feel? today feel that things are more difficult for them? we have seen this in the past. but i would also say when you look at the numbers -- again, it's numbers -- this political race, any political race, comes down to numbers. when you look at the numbers, vice president harris has been closing the economic gap. certainly she doesn't have the approval rating with economics that the former president does. however, when you talk about

approval, and likability, she has that. she has double-digit leads over donald trump where that's concerned. that doesn't necessarily get you the popular vote, that sometimes gets you over the finish line because you are more liked by the voting public. >> jon: leslie marshall, kiron skinner, john, you're going to be checking in with you again. thank you. >> molly: more than the million mail in an early in person votes have already been cast in the swing state of nevada. now a bombshell prediction from the editor of the nevada independent, john ralston. he says vice president harris will enact the silver state. nevada's g.o.p. party chair, michael mcdonald, joins us speak for now. thank you so much for giving us a little time this early election day as the voters are about to head to the polls and a couple hours all over the

country. very exciting. i want to get your thoughts on what john ralston had to say. some of these articles referred to him as an oracle. what do you make of his prediction? >> i've known him for a long time and he is no oracle. he's a contributor contributor to msnbc. he's basically the paperboy for the democrat party. he hates donald trump. he's always been against donald trump. when he had the clock as he attacked us for having a caucus. then he said donald trump was going to lose. we didn't have quite the turnout. but we have one of his tweets that said there has never been nor will there ever be a victory lap in american politics or maybe politics anywhere. that was from john ralston february of this year, february 9th of this year. he's a partisan rider and that's what he likes to write about. he carries the water for him all the time. at the end of the day, he hates donald trump. he always has brady's very critical of donald trump a very

critical to the republican party here. you take it for what it's worth on face value. it's john ralston. >> molly: i don't know if this is even the most bold prediction he can make, given the fact that nevada -- it is a battleground and it's also reliably democratic or has been in many elections. the state voting for democrats since 1992 except for president bush on the ballot. so what do you think will happen with these six electoral college votes? do you think donald trump stands a good chance of picking up nevada? >> i really do pray you look at what he's done in the swing state of nevada right now, you have to look also at what donald trump represents. we did no tax on tips here, no tax on social security, we are working class people. i was born and raised in las vegas. people know for a fact in nevada -- they've been involved in politics since i was a child. they know that what they see is what they get. they've got nothing but words

from kamala harris. donald trump's action. i'm working class class guy. i'm friends with the president of the united states. and he's going to be president again. that says a lot because he cares about the working men and women in nevada. i'm a union man. all they tried to hit him with, they can't, because he's the man that represent the working class people here. we have union leaders, democrats, independents coming his way. so the rhetoric is done. the ralstons of the world want to keep slamming, that you can't fight the facts that donald trump is and has represented the working men and women. more than ever, that's what puts them in the white house. speedy one of the biggest headlines, do you think that's going to make the difference? is that going to be the key thing? >> absolutely. it helps put americans' many back in their pockets. kamala harris was the deciding vote to go after people who make tips.

in her comments she says this is to make sure that people who are getting tips are paying their fair share. then she tried to reverse it. you can't reverse your own words. her actions showed. there's another republican party, we are the working men and women. >> molly: the people will decide. we greatly appreciate your insights here as things get underway. thanks for chatting with us. >> see you later tonight. >> jon: hard to believe after all these months and years that election day has finally arrived. the balance of power in the house and senate also very much at stake today. republicans currently hold the majority in the house. democrats hold the majority in the senate. for more on where top and down-ballot races stand on this election day, we go now to fox news correspondent madeleine rivera. >> good morning, jon. so many fascinating races to watch. republicans are highly favored to win back the senate. it is need again of two seats,

or one if president trump wins the white house as the vice president casts the tie-breaking vote. i'll be sure to pick up a scene in west virginia after senator joe manchin's retirement. republicans also eyeing montana as one of the best opportunities to make more gains. democratic incumbent senator jon tester has lagged behind his opponent in recent polling, that democrats have filled a boost of optimism and she faces scrutiny. he originally told voters he was hurt while serving as a navy seal in afghanistan in 2012. but in 2015 he reportedly told a park ranger he accidentally shot himself when he dropped his gun in the parking lot at glacial, glacier national park. we will see how that turns out. in ohio, sherrod brown. the race looking tight as brown hopes to win a fourth term in a state that has trended toward republicans in recent election

cycles. in pennsylvania, democrat incumbent senator bob casey is facing off against david mccormick. he's been ramping up attempts to appeal to the center, even releasing an ad last month that touted a moment where he sided with former president trump. as democrats fight to keep their majority in the upper chamber, the house meantime is sitting on a knife's edge. there's a lot of competitive races in california and new york that could determine control of the house. >> jon: it's going to be fascinating to watch all these votes come in. madeleine rivera, thanks. >> molly: young men usually do not come out in huge numbers, but could trump's efforts to specifically court gen z men payoff? more on that story had. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> jon: former president donald trump is leaving no stone unturned in turning to end. he has focused some of his energy courting normally a political young men from generation z. could the strategy payoff? we are doing now by g.o.p. strategist mehek cooke and founder and ceo of blueprint strategy, antjuan seawright.

antjuan, first of all, do you agree with the notion that gen z males generally don't vote? if so, why? >> i disagree with that. if you look at the early projections so far, it's been nearly 4 million, almost 400,000 gen z voters participating in this election. that's 20% above the projected numbers in terms of who would like to participate in that demographic. a large segment of that are gen z males, and what -- this pollercoaster ride has indicated that african american men, gen zers are not showing up, latino, same with asian american pacific islanders, and the projections so far for those who have participated indicate something totally different. so i believe that infrastructure, ground game, and direct voter content makes a difference in these cases, and

that's why i think vice president harris' campaign is in a strong position to maintain the majority of those boats. >> jon: mehek, donald trump got a huge boost tonight when joe rogan endorsed him. joe rogan, kind of a hero to young males in this country especially. that can't hurt. can he win that gen z vote he's trying to pull off? >> there is no that joe rogan has been a spear in this campaign, because he has independent voters in mostly 80% of his 18 million viewers are young males. in history, young males have -- and young voters have predominantly been democrat since about 2008. over 58% of young voters trending towards democrats. that broke into a 23 and it was less than 50%.

when you ask yourself why, young male voters dropped by over 13% of the democrat party and switched to republicans. there is this trend in the democrat party, they have continued to abandon their base and forget people, and for young male voters today they said kamala harris has forgotten and given up on the american dream. and she's asking young male voters to downsize. in an economy where he can't stretch our dollar anymore, young male voters are rejecting her and i feel that for every segment of the population pay but you see a downward trend of many of these young voters because kamala harris can't deliver. >> jon: take that on, antjuan. she says kamala harris is not appealing to young men. >> i disagree with that. i think what my dear friend on the other side is forgetting is the fact that women, who have the largest say-so in this

election, including gen z women, than they've ever had perhaps in history of this country, we see that in the registration numbers and the gender gap and the policy prescription that has been put forth by vice president harris. that is why we are going to win this election. might i remind you, when it comes to a policy agenda for gen zers, both young women and young men, vice president harris has been the only candidate that has made a direct appeal from a policy standpoint. when you think about first time ownership, capping the cost of child care, capping the price of insulin, which impacts grandparents and family members, and when he think about small business, student loan forgiveness, all these things matter to that constituency. that's why you see these voters flocking to vice president harris. >> jon: we are short on time. mehek, i wanted to give you the

last word. donald trump has his appeal for young men in the assassination attempt and his handling of it as part of that. >> absolutely. i think the minute he stood up and said "fight, fight, fight" and showed leadership, it showed america who he truly is. he's on the camping with solutions, not only for young voters but all americans. we are a big tent today and we have welcomed independents, democrats, and so many others. his closing message to the american people is we have the golden years to look forward to. he's going to secure our communities and provide safety and reset our economy for greatness. it is not something kamala harris has been able to do, in office for over 3.5 years. her closing argument has been fascism and that's not moving the needle. >> we have to see what happens when those are tallied up maybe at the eight of this day. mehek cooke, antjuan seawright, thank you both. molly? >> molly: with an 80 million americans have already cast an

early vote. that is half of the total number of people voting in 2020. usually it's a pretty good size for democrats, but it might not necessarily be the case this time around. that story ahead. ♪ ♪

change? fox news correspondent ashley strohmier has details for us. >> hi, jon. as far as early voting, there is some type of allowance in each state to vote early and the numbers are showing people take advantage of that. take a look at this. the 2020 election had the highest voter turnout this just about 67% of adults voting, or 158 million people. but so far this early voting season there has been 82 million people casting a ballot, more than half the total in 2020, and a big change was the push former president trump made while campaigning to encourage republicans to vote early, something that he didn't push for in the past. according to the ap, in a state like pennsylvania, 1 million of those being registered democrats and 600,000 republicans, and 200,003rd party. but when you compare it to the 2020 numbers, those are down for democrats significantly but only

slightly down for republicans. former president obama's campaign manager told jen psaki on sunday what they are seeing is concerning for the harris campaign. watch. >> early vote numbers are a little scary. you and i have been texting back and forth. republicans didn't do it they did last time. last time trump said don't really vote and so they didn't. republicans you have an advantage in early vote numbers, and it's going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that is scary. >> as for some of the voters, some say it made more sense for the families of an early so they wouldn't have to stay in line as long. they were some people that said last time the ability to check a couple of hours. this time it was seamless but the last day early voting was permitted -- some start as early as 5:00 a.m. back to you guys. >> jon: a big rush ahead of time to time.

ashley strohmier, thank you. georgia voters who receive their absentee ballots late won't be getting extra time send them back ballots for about 3,400 residents of georgia's third largest county did not get sent out until late last week. that didn't give them much time to return those ballots. the lower court decision would have allowed the ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by today and received by friday. but the state supreme court is no reversing that, advising those 3400 voters to vote in person, meaning today. >> molly: editor could picks its next president, there are also several key house and senate races that could tip the balance of power. to break it all down, we are joined by our panel. john bussey, kiron skinner, and

leslie marshall, fox news contributor. thank you for joining us in the middle of the night. here we are, election morning as things are on the cusp of getting underway. this is our last chance to make predictions and make guesses and lay it all out there. kiron, i want to start with the senate. what is your broad prediction as far as the senate is concerned in order for republicans to get the majority? and got to pick up two seats. when they say looks fairly safe for republicans, west virginia. do you have other thoughts on what we could expect to see in the senate? >> i do, actually. for many years i was the pennsylvania voter as a professor at carnegie mellon. i think that we will see -- it is likely that we will see dave mccormick remove casey from the democratic state that he holds. i say this for a number of reasons. one can't dave mccormick has been among the most energetic

campaigners, and he has become a really trusted member of the pennsylvania community, from the pittsburgh side of the state to philadelphia. he has a long history in pennsylvania. of course he has lived in other states, that he is really part of the fabric and he's worked very hard. he cares deeply about the african american vote at all levels, not just those who are suffering in urban communities but also african americans who are thriving economically. so i think he is going to be someone that surprises people. he won't surprise me. and that will help the republicans so much. also on monday he appeared at a campaign rally with donald trump. the down ballot affect will actually help him. i expect donald trump to enact

that state, as well. >> leslie, bringing this to a bed set for you, as well. is this a tough spot for democrats this year? >> this is an area where i have a concerned about jon tester, the senator in montana. a very red state. i don't agree with the casey mccormick race. the numbers really show casey ahead, and i think he is going to keep that. i do think that pennsylvania is going to go to democrats. there are some races that are very surprising and red states for democrats where you see, in florida, for example, rick scott is only one, two percentage points against his democratic opponent. you see that in a dead heat depending on the poll between colin ha or ted cruz. they may be some surprises, but

the senate is almost equally divided. democrats only have a 1-seat advantage in republicans have been in the situation before. my side has the majority right now. it is scary, because you only need one or two to flip the power in the senate. and that is frightening. when i look at the numbers, especially starting with mon montana. >> molly: a harder hill to climb as far as holding conceits or concern. your thoughts on the biggest challenge and prediction added this evening? >> i would hate to make predictions but there are nine competitive seats in the senate. the democrats have more of their seats up for grabs this time around. so it is a harder hill to climb for the democrats. i think the conventional wisdom is that there is a good chance of the republicans taking the lead in the senate. there is 40 competitive seats in

the house. it's a bit more neck and neck there. it is kind of anything goes. there's a possibility of either party gaining ground and a number of states for this 41 competitive teacher spread. can i say something about the economy? that was mentioned earlier. i would like to correct this. this is not a bad economy. as a matter of fact, it's a very robust economy. we just had to .8% gdp growth in the third quarter consistent with very strong performance over the last year and a half. it's a $28 trillion economy growing at that pace. that is strong. the consumer is strong and out spending. unemployment is at 4.1%, still near historic lows. this has been a good story for the administration to tell. the problem has been inflation. a year and a half of that

inflation caused by the pandemic, which happened during the last administration. frankly, mismanagement of the pandemic contributed to that. but the pandemic would have caused inflation no matter who was in office, because the economy shut down and they had to restart. >> molly: and the great challenge is selling that academic message on both sides. thank you so much. we greatly appreciate your insight tonight. he told skinner, as well. former president trump is calling for the presidential race to be called on election night. but one arizona swing county could stand in the way of those wishes. we will explain, coming at. ♪ ♪

registration by party. 30 of them. in the past four years i've seen movement toward republicans. >> jon: let's go live to former house oversight committee staff director julian epstein. what do you think of that analysis? he says the pollsters are missing a red wave, if you will. >> first of all, good morning and thank you for having me on. alex is one of the best analysts in the business and i think he was making two points. one is a structural change going on between the parties. and he is correct. republicans are seeing a greater surge in registration in places like pennsylvania. they are seeing for the first time in many years a creative party identification. more americans identify with the repurepublican party now then wh the democrats. and most importantly, we are seeing a massive realignment, which i think the story of this election will be regardless of

who wins, that the republican party is now becoming the party of the working class and lower income for the most part in the democrats are becoming the party of the college educated elite player less. that's the first point he's making. the second point on the segment earlier in your broadcast tonight was the early vote. i think any democrat that would tell you today that they are not concerned about the early vote results is just sort of spinning you. the democrats are traditionally over-performers when it comes to the early vote. if you go back to 2020, the over performed the republicans in the early vote by hundreds of thousands of votes. i think in pennsylvania it was as much as 600,000 votes. so if democrats are going to prevail in the swing states, they need to over-perform in the early vote, as well, because republicans over-perform on the election day vote. right now democrats are underperforming in almost every single one of the battleground states. in all of the urban areas of all

the seven battleground states. i think without exception, the urban vote is hundreds of thousands of votes less than it was in 2020. the rural vote is up, which is the trump vote. it is up as compared to the 202020 benchmark. and the suburban vote seems to be coming from the data i've seen, anyway, that they can the conservative suburban voters are coming out and over performing n the early vote. so if you go by the traditional model or the standard model we've been looking at in the past three or four elections, that's very good for republicans because democrats are going to have to make up a huge amount in order to be competitive with republicans on election day. you might say that model could change and democrats are going to become big election day voters. but there's no indication that's the case and that's what

democrats are hoping for. but right now they just no way to really spin it. democrat pundits come on this network and other networks and they will spin you. i'm trying to tell you it's possible. there's no way that you look at the early vote numbers and don't say there are some alarm bells going off. >> jon: a question, and we don't have a lot of time left, that why do you think that is? you talk about cities like philadelphia democrat early voting is not as robust as it has been. why? >> well, i think there's a couple of different theories. one is enthusiasm. the republican base is clearly enthusiastic. it's not clear how enthusiastic the democrat base is. secondly, there's been a lot of debate about this, but i think you will see defection amongst urban vote, particularly the black and brown vote, to the republican party. how much that is, whether it's five points or 15 points, remains to be seen. but whatever the case is, one of

the most important indicators of enthusiasm, at least on the democratic side, it's early vote. that's been the case in the last two elections. that is an alarm bell that democrats, if they don't pay attention to it, in my opinion i think they are just whistling past the graveyard. >> jon: julian epstein, always good to get your perspective. m. >> jon: you bet. when all is said and done, could be a female float and her entourage of female celebrities that puts kamala harris in the oval office? jessica milan patterson, chairperson of the california republican party, is here to talk about that. you have seen the endorsements tonight, the rallies from people like oprah winfrey and lady gaga all pushing for kamala harris as a republican. as. as a republican, how concerned are you about that? >> we have seen a lot for what
