to boston. abc news exclusive. the quick-thinking yoga hero who helped stop a gunman on a deadly rampage. >> the next thing i know i'm grabbing a broom, you know, anything i can, and i hit him again. >> the survivor who says he saved her life. alec baldwin arrested, accused of assault for throwing a punch over a parking spot. what he's saying about the charges. caught on camera. two men trying to break into a home. >> get away from the door. >> how they were outsmarted by a smart homeowner. ♪ i think i want to marry you and the engagement photo giving new meaning to the phrase, lending a hand. wait until you see who is behind this. and we do say good morning, america. we hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. we are less than 24 hours away from the all-important midterm elections.

when polls will open around the country. >> it is a national election, a midterm unlike any we have seen before. control of congress is at stake. it has become a referendum on the president. >> so far, all signs point to a heavy turnout. early voting already smashing records. around the country, more than 34 million voters have cast early ballots. so far, that's about 14 million more than the last midterms in 2014. >> and according to our new poll, democrats have an advantage in the battle for control of the house with an eight-point lead among likely voters. but president trump as you know is of course hoping to change that on a campaign blitz, headlining nine rallies over the final four days, three of them today. our senior white house correspondent, jon karl, is here starting us all off. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. with just one day until election day, president trump is campaigning as if the fate of his presidency is at stake. in a frenzy of campaigning in states he won, president trump

fears of his most fervent supporters, with a blizzard of false claims. >> as we speak, democrats are openly encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and destroy our nation in so many different ways. so, if you want more caravans and you want more crime, vote democrat. it's very simple. >> reporter: the caravan of migrants fleeing violence and poverty in central america is still nearly 700 miles away. but the president is touting his order to send in the military, some 1,000 troops already on the border. >> you saw how good our military -- they got off those planes, and you saw that barbed wire going up. that barbed wire. you know what? we're not letting those people invade our country. >> reporter: democrats are punching back with a heavy hitter of their own, president barack obama in indiana on sunday. >> they're telling us that the single most grave threat to

america is a bunch of, like, poor, impoverished, broke, hungry refugees a thousand miles away. that's, like, the thing that's really going to threaten gary, indiana. >> reporter: he didn't mention trump by name, but he didn't have to. >> they promised they were going to take on corruption in washington. instead, they have racked up enough indictments to field a football team. >> reporter: celebrities also out in force this weekend, trying to get out the blue vote. >> hi. i'm amy schumer. have you ever heard of me? did you vote yet? >> not yet. i'm going today. >> how about we go together? >> yeah. >> reporter: the president is closing out the midterm campaign with a sprint, campaigning today in ohio, indiana and missouri, as voter turnout is poised to break records for a midterm election, and in our most recent

moatrepublicans, a saying that y vote. >> that is just unheard of. >> 80%. >> especially for a midterm. >> and we're seeing a lot of former president obama out on the trail as well. >> this is a big change for him, robin. obama made a decision to step back from politics when he left the white house and he is out there in full force, more than any recent president. in fact, although there is nothing left on his schedule today, i wouldn't be surprised to see one more surprise appearance by obama. >> we'll see. >> we'll be watching. and president trump also weighed in from the sidelines on the race in georgia, one of the nastiest political battles playing out in the country right now. democrat stacey abrams would be the nation's first black female governor. she is facing off against republican secretary of state brian kemp in a contest where there have been serious questions about racism, voter suppression and now, a new allegation of hacking. abc's steve osunsami is in atlanta. steve, this latest twist has gotten democrats outraged. >> reporter: it does they're sayi there is very little evidence that this

really happened. the republican governor is accusing them of hacking into the state's voter registration system and he is even asking the fbi to investigate. in a late-in-the-game visit to georgia sunday night, the president joined republican candidate for governor brian kemp on stage. >> i want to thank you for your huge endorsement in the primary. it made a big difference. >> reporter: the president said that a vote for kemp was a vote for him. >> vote republican. >> reporter: but neither of the two made any mention of kemp's explosive new charge that democrats tried to hack the state voter roles. kemp claims that the cyber tomfoolery happened saturday night, but hasn't shared evidence so far. complicating things is his day job. kemp is the current secretary of state, responsible for supervising elections, and he is refused calls from even jimmy carter to resign. in a statement from his office at the capitol, he says we opened an investigation after receiving information from our legal team about failed efforts

to breach the online voter registration system and my voter page. state democrats are calling this a bold-faced lie. >> hi. >> reporter: oprah winfrey went door to door last week for stacey abrams. that visit is adding gas to the fire here. >> this is the magical negro, oprah winfrey. >> reporter: over the weekend, racist automated phone messages with a phony impression of winfrey's voice were dialed into a number of georgia homes. >> where others see a poor man's aunt jemima, i see someone white women can be tricked into voting for. >> reporter: both campaigns have condemned the calls and calling them disgusting and denouncing them as unbridled hate and unapologetic bigotry. this morning, oprah win is once again encouraging all georgians to vote. >> i am just hoping that everybody who can will get to the polls.

>> reporter: if you believe the polls, this race is tied at this point. the fbi this morning is not confirming that they are actually looking into this, and they're offering no comment on this matter at this point. george? >> okay, steve, thanks. we asked both candidates in georgia to join us this morning. secretary kemp declined, but we are joined by the democrat, stacey abrams. ms. abrams, thank you for joining us this morning. we saw the georgia democratic party calling that not only a lie from secretary kemp, but they are calling it an abuse of power. do you think secretary kemp deliberately cooked up the charge to help his campaign? >> i do. in fact, i think he cooked up the charge because he realizes once again he has left 6 million voters' information vulnerable, and this has happened twice before. this is another failure of his leadership and he recognize if he got caught two days before the election, having exposed so many georgians, he would lose, and so he did what he does always, blame someone else for his mistakes. >> that's a pretty serious charge, abuse of power right there. i also want to ask you about the

racist robocall. it has been denounced by secretary kemp. do you accept that repudiation? >> i think it's a little late for him to repudiate racist remarks given that he stood with someone wearing an anti-islam t-shirt. he refused to denounce the same man earlier who accused black veterans of not being people who should support our country. i think unfortunately secretary kemp has not only abused his power, he's failed to do his job. just this week, he was hit twice by federal lawsuits where the federal judges agreed with voters that he had failed to do his job allowing them to cast their ballots. you don't deserve a promotion when you fail to do your work. >> are you concerned these racist appeals are going to work? >> what i'm concerned about is that his overarching architecture of voter suppression, of ostracization,

of demeaning and dehumanizing people, that can cause people to think that their votes don't count. we're aggressive in telling people that the best antidote to his antics is to turn out and engage. we're seeing unprecedented voter turnout. because people understand that education and jobs and access to affordable health care are on the ballot this year and i'm the only candidate with a comprehensive plan to move our state forward together. >> how about president trump? he called you part of the extreme far left and said if you get elected, the second amendment is gone, and you would turn georgia into a sanctuary city for criminal aliens. your response? >> my response is that he is completely wrong. number one, i believe in the second amendment. i know how to shoot a gun. but i believe in responsible gun ownership, and as we have seen in recent weeks, in fact over the last few years, it is time for us to have commonsense gun safety legislation. i support the fact that the federal government needs to take action on immigration, but in the state of georgia, my responsibility will be to protect all people in our state, and most importantly, i want to expand medicaid because we have failed in the state of georgia to do what's right by all people.

500,000 georgians stand to get access to health care, and we can save 20 rural hospitals in our state. these are important core values that all georgians share. education, jobs, access to health care. there's nothing radical about it. except we have republican leaders who do not want to do that job. >> on the second amendment, you have supported legislation for people to turn in their assault weapons. >> i've supported legislation that responded to massacres across our country and said that we have to take action on assault weapons. as i said yesterday, and will always say, we want to introduce legislation to start the conversation, but the legislative process often leads to common results where people can work together on how we achieve our goals. i'm open to any conversation that will make our community safer, but i think we have to begin with the fundamental premise that assault weapons do not belong on our streets. >> if you win, you will be the country's first black governor of georgia, the first

african-american woman governor, what kind of message will that send? >> i think it will send an incredibly strong message that the face of leadership is evolving in the united states. that doesn't mean anyone is being pushed out. it means that more are being added to the conversation, and i hope i'm just the first of many. more people who stand up and understand that our voices and our votes matter and that we cannot only cast those ballots, we can stand for office. >> stacey abrams, thanks very much for your time this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> we should say we did invite secretary kemp on the program and he declined. >> stakes are high in georgia and elsewhere, so now we're going to go to tom llamas for a quick rundown of the stakes tomorrow, what to look for as the night goes on, and what could tip the results one way or another. good morning, tom. >> reporter: guys, good morning. i'm here at abc news election headquarters where all the results will be coming in on election night. every square inch of this studio built to capture the excitement of what could be a historic night. behind me, we'll have our powerhouse political team watching all the results coming in.

out on the field, a team of correspondents, producers and photographers right there with the candidates. and all the data we're gathering will be broken down with the help of the 3d model similar to the ones i'm about to show you. let's look at what is at stake in this election. all 34 house seats are up for grabs and democrats need to pick up 23 to take control for the first time in eight years. in the senate, a much different story. the democrats are on defense. they need to gain two seats, but they could lose even more, and across the country, we will also be keeping a close eye on 36 governors' races. this election could be historic with the potential for massive voter turnout. 80% of registered voters in our new abc news/"washington post" poll saying they are certain to vote or have already voted. that's compared to 65% back to 2014. in our poll, donald trump has the lowest approval rating heading into the midterms since harry truman. let's take a look. he's at 40%, with 53% disapproval. we'll find out what effect the president has on this election very shortly. guys, back to you. >> okay, tom.

thanks very much. we have jon karl back here, and mary bruce, our senior congressional correspondent. jon, let's pick up where tom left off. this is unusual midterm, because the president has put himself on the ballot. on one hand he is incredibly unpopular, 40%, but the economy going gang busters. >> i spoke to one of trump's advisers, if we lose, meaning republicans, if we lose the house they said, somebody should be fired. it is, you know, this is the kind of economy a president would dream of but the president is sitting on an approval rating in the mid or low 40s, depending on what you are looking at. >> mary, let's talk about what happens if the democrats get those 23 seats and take control of the house tomorrow. president trump wakes up to a very different presidency and a very different washington. >> yeah, george. if democrats do take the house, they're going to put this president under an intense microscope. they are likely to investigate everything from his tax returns to conflicts of interest, to questions about russia conclusion. get ready for a lot of hearings here on the hill and likely a

lot of subpoenas. then there is the question of impeachment. democrats have been treading very carefully, and they are not ready to go that far just yet. they want to see what the special counsel comes up with before they make their next move but with that said, they've made it very clear they are ready to investigate everything and george, impeachment is on the table. >> is the white house braced for that kind of change? >> oh, absolutely. they are -- they are preparing for the fact that the democrats -- preparing for them taking over the house, and they know right now you have committees on capitol hill, like the intelligence committee, the chief investigative committee that have basically been protecting the president, investigating his opponents. that is a 180-degree change. suddenly you have those committees going after the president, after his cabinet, after his top advisers. >> we could see a lot of change in the administration as well coming out of this election. >> i think people are bracing for potential changes as early as wednesday if things change and every source in the white house that i have talked to is bracing to lose the house on tuesday. >> okay, we're all going to be here tomorrow night tracking the election straight through tuesday night.

i'll be anchoring with i'll be anchoring with our whole political team starting at 8:00 eastern. robin? now we want to take a moment, george, to honor the life of utah mayor brent taylor, who was killed in afghanistan in what is being called an insider attack by an afghan soldier. the mayor of north ogden was serving on his fourth deployment when he was attacked on saturday. the 39-year-old leaves behind a wife and seven children. in his last post on social media, i want you to listen to this. this is what he wrote. as the usa gets ready to vote in our own election next week, i hope everyone back home exercises their precious right to vote and that whether the republicans or the democrats win, that we all remember that we have far more as americans that unite us than divides us. >> just a remarkable man. he spent his life and sacrificed his life looking for ways to serve. >> he did. >> for people like that we should be voting. one thing that could affect turnout tomorrow, extreme weather. millions are in the path of severe storms with dangerous winds and possible tornados in

the east. let's go to ginger for the very latest. >> hi, cecilia. the storm that will create that severe weather already shutting down parts of interstate 70 in colorado. that was at vail pass, but it will move to the southeast, and today, i'm talking this afternoon and evening, tupelo to huntsville, to nashville, memphis, back into arkansas, has the potential for having just not storms and damaging wind, but the real chance of tornadoes. everywhere in yellow needs to be alert this afternoon and evening. and tomorrow, on election day itself, if you are in eastern tennessee, if you're in north carolina, virginia, up to baltimore, and even philadelphia, we have another shot at severe storms. and yes, that will come with rain for a lot of folks and that's what you are going to see on this coast-to-coast election day forecast i'm bringing you here. aside from the sunshine in south florida and parts of texas, over in the center of the country, really the western half looking good. a lot of rain to be dealt with here along the east. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, though, we have to get to the select cities sponsored by abreva.

michael bloomberg: hello i speak to you today on the eve of the midterm elections... not as a democrat or a republican, i've been both... but as an american who is deeply concerned with the direction of our nation. like you, i've watched the recent bombings and mass shootings with growing alarm. political violence tears at the heart of our democracy. and violence against a religious group, in a house of god, tears at the heart of our humanity. at these moments of great national tragedy we look to washington to lead... to offer solutions... to bring us together... ...and to appeal to all of us, as americans. we're a nation of builders and doers. we know that there are no easy answers or quick fixes. but we expect a plan... we expect to be called to a higher purpose... we expect to work together. i don't hear that call coming from washington

these days... do you? in fact, i hear the opposite - shouting and hysterics instead of calm reasoning. pointed fingers instead of open hands... division instead of unity. we see this most dramatically with the fearmongering over immigration. americans are neither naïve nor heartless. we know that we can be a nation of immigrants while also securing our borders. sadly, our greatest threats today can be found from within our borders... ... from a government that is constantly on the verge of shutting down over partisan bickering... that is accumulating record debt, and failing to address our most urgent problems. i've never been a particularly partisan person, i've supported candidates from both sides. but at this moment, we must send a signal to republicans in washington that they have failed to lead... failed to find solutions... and failed to bring us together. that's why i'm voting democratic. america is the greatest nation on earth

...and for all our sakes we must start becoming the united states of america once again. thank you announcer: independence usa pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. they work togetherf doing important stuff. the hitch? like you, your cells get hungry. feed them... with centrum micronutrients. restoring your awesome, daily. centrum. feed your cells.

using it as a form of punishment. dr. jen ashton is here. you got our attention here. how did the guidelines change? >> well, this is the first time the american academy of pediatrics has issued what they call policy statement or guidelines in 20 years on hitting, spanking -- they call it corporal punishment. this is a loaded and charged topic. i tweeted about it just an hour ago from the green room. lots of interesting comments. people are saying there is a big difference between spanking and corporal punishment. >> and hitting. >> and hitting, exactly. a lot of people saying they were spanked as a child and they turned out fine. they think it teaches respect, but i think there are more questions here than answers. the american academy of pediatrics is clear. they are against hitting and they are against spanking and they are against this form of corporal punishment as a means of discipline. but the questions here, what's your short-term goal or long-term goal? why are you doing it? what are you trying to teach? when they say the goal of parental discipline is to teach responsibility and self-control, does hitting, spanking, corporal punishment do that? >> so, what are considered the

downsides? >> well, when they have studied this, the data does show that in children who are spanked or hit, that it can be ineffective. again, short-term or long-term, and it can lead to aggressive behavior, that it actually may damage the parent-child relationship, both short-term and long-term, and it can increase the risk of mental health disorders. there have been negative impacts on vocabulary, iq, cognitive development. so, again, this is very, very murky and controversial area. >> yeah, i'm getting it on my feed as well. i said we're going to be talking about this because you know there are a lot of people that are going to say, hey, i got spanked and i turned out all right. >> that's right. i'm one of them. the verdict is still out how i turned out. but i think that the issue here for parents is because it can reflect both what's going on in the parent as well as situationally what's going on in the child, we have to give some tips to parents. if you find that it's getting out of control, talk to a professional, a social worker. take a time-out not just for

your child, but for yourself and really focus on the bigger issues, what you're trying to show them, and take steps to lower your stress because that may be all you need. for me, i had a son who was 6 feet tall when he was 14 years old so i said, what's the end game here if i try to spank him? he is already bigger than i am. >> but spanking a 14-year-old, rather than the size -- when i think of spanking i'm thinking -- >> younger, right. i think the conversation is going to continue for us online, robin. people are really interested in weighing in on this. >> okay. and to do it responsibly because it scares me when you talk about hitting and saying -- >> and i think any parent is just trying to do the best they can for their parenting role and for their child. >> yeah, it will continue.isut let's get over to ginger. >> you're great. let's do your "gma" moment, shall we? this comes to us from prairieville, louisiana. not bad. we're going to do the "gma" moment and this little girl is a 2-year-old, charlie, who said i'm going to go get myself a snack.

let me tell you, that's not cheese. >> butter. >> yeah, that's butter. is it good? >> yes. >> you love it? >> she has a whole stick. she would have eaten whole thing. i mean, it is so good. everybody he [ applause ] now the latest on that series "cracking the kid code." teenage girls tried our

digital social media detox, and gave up social media for two weeks. becky worley sat down with them to see how they did. >> for modern teenage girls, social media dominates their interactions with peers and screens dominate their conflicts with parents. so asking ten girls to log off social media for two weeks, that's a serious social science experiment. >> reporter: we're in california. ten girls from different schools. >> i already did it. >> reporter: eighth and ninth graders who have all volunteered for a major challenge. >> oh, my god. i can't wait to go outside. >> reporter: no social media for two weeks. they mostly use instagram and snapchat. new research suggests that screen time is associated with anxiety in teens. and child and adolescent psychiatrist, dr. jodi gold says a social media break could be life-changing. >> there is going to be a medical impact, a sleep impact, academic impact and a social and emotional impact. >> what do you like about instagram? >> chatting with my friends. >> sometimes i feel, like, really inspired.

>> reporter: without any prompting though, the conversation turns to what they don't like. >> people just post things to make other people feel bad, you know, like, oh, you weren't invited to go to that. >> if you're not on instagram, you get nervous, like, what if i'm missing something? >> if you see a girl whose body is flawless, a lot of us feel like we have to, like, be this perfect image. >> reporter: their parents reveal their struggles. >> i do think she is on her phone a lot and it's, frankly, pretty annoying. >> my biggest frustration is just that things don't get done around the house, and how many times i have to say, get off your phone, get off your phone. >> i worry that serena feels she needs to show a life that's maybe not real. >> reporter: one concern for both parents and teens, losing the messaging functions within these apps. they're vital for making plans one nuer, ha i have,ik milestones. >> what am i going to do if, like, my friend has a birthday and i can't post that? they're going to be, like, mad.

>> i don't think hey're gngo so ma >>ep oy, here is the challenge. s.no social diwhsode t apps rig. >> oh, my god. >> i can't. >> reporter: we asked the teens to record video diaries throughout the two-week experiment. >> i have been able to just put my phone down and just listen in. >> i actually sleep a lot better without being on my technology a lot. >> a lot of people are on their phones, taking videos of each other on snapchat. >> my other friends, they got to post things and it just really bummed me out. >> reporter: while they said they were more productive, their newfound free time left a hole. >> i just checked the weather. >> reporter: after two weeks, they reinstalled the apps. >> whoa, it's a lot to look at. >> i'm glad i have it back, but i'm a little bit hesitant. >> reporter: we gather to talk through the results. >> so how did it go? >> good. >> it felt normal. >> a show of hands. who thinks they slept better? who got into fewer arguments

with their parents? they said they felt a little out of the loop. >> i missed out on so much. i didn't know pete davidson and ariana grande broke up. >> reporter: when they hung out with friends not part of the experiment? >> they will be sitting there and sending each other pictures and i was, like, why don't we do something? >> i was like, you know what you guys, we're getting off our phones and we listened to music and talked and we had so much fun actually and i learned so much about them. >> the upside of taking a break from social media is that you have so much more time to do your homework, to eat dinner with your family and be mindful of your experiences. >> reporter: in the end, every participant was happy to be a part of our challenge, citing plans to be more vigilant about their social media use and be more present in real life. >> i want to monitor myself because i just know it's like a really bad habit. >> i want to be more cautious when i'm on it, and also showed me that i don't need social media at all. i did perfectly fine for two weeks without it. >> i fought so much less with my parents.

i've gotten so much more done and i also feel like it in a good way made me feel like i was a little kid again. it kind of made me feel like, you know, not worrying about stuff as much. >> insightful kids there. >> screens are the parenting issue of our time, george. >> whenever my kids have taken -- they are short breaks -- they come back feeling more relieved but it's hard to sustain. >> it is, and i mean, social media is so immersive, but it quantifies the hardest things about being a teenager which is popularity. it's tough for kids. >> it sure is, but that was really interesting. thanks a lot. we can tell you a lot more about this on our website. we'll be right back. this on our website. we'll be right back.

welcome back to "good morning america." we have so much going on this week, but the fall foliage, it has been so brilliant lately around here. i don't know if you all have seen it, but check that out. look at that. the images coming there from western new york. this guy taking them, he's from rochester, but look at the fog coming through that river too. and i wanted to share with you an election day forecast. if you are in texas say, austin or right through the center of the nation, you're dry. much of the western part of the nation, dry. i can't say the same tomorrow.

do you -- you must have curtsy? >> i don't really meet any superfans on the street, but people do like to make the joke of, i feel like i should curtsy to you or ma'am. >> do you get a lot of "ma'am"s? i was a binge watcher of "the crown." are you a binge watcher? >> always to binge watcher. >> what is the last thing? >> i'm in the middle of a binge. >> of what? >> "making a murderer." don't tell me what happens. >> dont't tell you. okay, we won't tell you. this new movie, "the girl in the spider's web," is an adaptation of the so popular books, "the girl with the dragon tattoo," which i also pored over. were you a fan of the books? >> yeah, yeah. and the movies as well. i just thought they were brilliant and i loved the novels and it was amazing being able to go back and read it again and investigate her character, which was quite interesting. >> but i heard you were hesitant when this role first came up. >> oh, yeah. yeah.

>> how so? >> just because it comes with so much baggage. it comes with the fact that two amazing actresses have done it so brilliantly before and you're also fighting an uphill battle when you are trying to compete with people's imagination. that's an almost impossible thing to do, but that sort of weirdly is the attraction as well. you sort of feel like, the worst thing i can do is be terrible, so hopefully -- >> which you would be only. >> there has to be something positive at the end of that. >> well, let's take a look at the main character in action. we have a clip. let's watch. >> i had a whole speech prepared. i don't care. just shoot me. >> shoot you? you're my sister. someone always has to carry the pain. now it's your turn.
