good morning, america. it's a sprint to the finish with just two days left till the election. the candidates crisscrossing the country. joe biden getting an obama boost saying america is ready for change. >> it's time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. >> as president trump assures america the worst of the pandemic is over. >> we're rounding the turn. we're rounding that turn. plus, the highway run-in between trump and biden supporters. abc news is on the ground in the battleground states. decision day less than 48 hours away. abc news exclusive, an inside look at microsoft's election security war room monitoring potential threats from around the globe. >> to me that is without question the biggest threat to our democracy. >> what they are watching this

morning. shattering records. coronavirus cases growing across most of the nation. each death a painful loss. >> to tell her that he wasn't going to make it, it's just not something that you want to have to tell anyone ever. >> the new rules for travelers heading to new york. fema's field hospital in el paso. and this illegal halloween party packed with people. gaining strength. tropical storm eta in the caribbean sea tying 2005 for the most named storms in a season. our weather team tracking its path. and touching tributes to sean connery. >> bond, james bond. >> from the dashing 007 to the role that earned him an oscar. >> he pulls a knife, you pull a gun. he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. >> the magical moments on screen and how hollywood is remembering

him this morning. good morning. if you're waking up in parts of the country that use daylight savings time, we hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep. >> i know i did. >> the mood. i didn't even realize it was happening. i woke up and was like, that felt good. >> best morning of the year. >> we're a little biased because we don't get as much sleep as we like. that is all happening as both campaigns make every hour count making their final push for votes in the battleground states. >> yep. joe biden had two events in michigan on saturday joined on the trail by his former boss, barack obama. today biden has two events scheduled in philadelphia, and his campaign says he plans to spend the final 72 hours of the race in pennsylvania. >> and president trump's day was all about pennsylvania. a crucial state where polls suggest he's slightly behind there.

he held four rallies there, and first lady melania trump also hosted an event in the state. today, though, he has a five-event blitz scheduled in michigan, iowa, north carolina, georgia and florida. we have reporters in the battleground states across the country and start our coverage with abc's rachel scott in detroit. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. this is the final frenzy. with just two days to go, democrats are fighting to rebuild that blue wall that president trump shattered. trump trying to hang on to those states that propelled him to victory in 2016, and neither campaign is leaving anything up to chance. overnight in michigan joe biden trying to do what the democratic party couldn't in 2016, win the midwest. >> it's time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. >> reporter: ripping into trump for falsely suggesting doctors were inflating the coronavirus death toll for profit. >> what in the hell is wrong with this man? excuse my language. but think about it. it's perverted.

he may believe it because he doesn't do anything other than for money. the people in this nation have suffered and sacrificed for nine months. >> reporter: in the final 48 hours of the campaign, bringing in democratic firepower, hitting the trail with former president barack obama for the first time this election cycle telling supporters they've got to outhustle the other side. >> we can leave no doubt. we cannot afford to be complacent, not this time, not in this election. >> reporter: across the country early voters coming out like they never have before. more than 92 million americans have already cast their ballot, and that turnout could make all the difference in a state like michigan where president trump won by roughly 10,000 votes. outside of biden's drive-in rally in detroit, some of his supporters are growing anxious. >> president trump won here by a very thin margin. >> i'm not sure of anything. i think this could go either way. i really do.

>> reporter: president trump on a battleground blitz stopping here in michigan today too overnight holding four rallies in pennsylvania packing in supporters. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: stoking fear about the election. >> you're going to be waiting. you're going to be waiting for weeks. >> reporter: and gloating about this incident in texas posted on social media, showing trump supporters surrounding a biden campaign bus on the highway forcing the democrats to cancel some events in the lone star state. >> did anybody see the picture of that crazy bus driving down the highway surrounded by like hundreds of cars? there were all trump flags all over the place. what a group. it's like a hot -- it's like a hot thing. see, that's really number one trending. >> reporter: but as the democratic ticket frames this race around president trump's response to the virus -- >> he covered it up. he told the american people it was a hoax. >> reporter: -- the president insists he took strong action

against covid-19, claiming the worst is over. >> we're rounding the turn. we're rounding that turn. we're rounding it. >> reporter: hours after the u.s. hit a record high in daily cases, dr. anthony fauci telling "the washington post," quote, we're in for a whole lot of hurt. it's not a good situation. a white house spokesperson accusing fauci of playing politics just days before the election calling it unacceptable and in sharp contrast to president trump, vice president mike pence with this warning -- >> we're still going through this, men and women. we know it. the winter is coming on. we're starting to see cases rising. i just promise the people of north carolina we're going to keep moving heaven and earth to make sure our doctors and nurses and hospitals have all the resources and medicines they need. >> reporter: it is a fight to the finish. president trump will be doing ten rallies over the course of the next two days, stopping right here in michigan today. and on the heals of trump's visit in pennsylvania, biden will be holding a campaign event there today. both campaigns at this point making that last-minute push to

get their supporters out to the polls. eva? >> rachel scott in michigan. thank you. and the candidates have been focusing a lot of their attention on florida. let's start with victor oquendo in miami. good morning to you, victor. >> reporter: good morning, eva. today is the last day to vote early here in florida. this polling location behind me in westchester has actually been the busiest in the state and that's saying something where more than 8.2 million votes have already been cast. we saw people lining up well before this place opened up just a few minutes ago right at 7:00 a.m. all signs point to another close race here in florida so you have the candidates, their running mates and surrogates all making last-minute stops in the all important battleground state. former president barack obama will be in florida monday. vice president nominee kamala harris was here in south florida on saturday making it clear that the path to the white house leads through florida. her campaign stopping in miami gardens, a predominantly black area, urging the community to get out and vote. the early numbers showing democrats leading by a narrow margin.

they're hoping for a higher turn out among black voters in florida. president trump will be right back in south florida for an event late tonight targeting another key demographic, latinos. hillary clinton carried the latino vote by a wide margin in 2016, but the numbers this time around indicate a much closer race. cuban-americans make up the largest group of latinos in the state. and they are backing the president. traditionally this is a group that votes republican. now there have been some reported issues with mail-in ballots, mostly with black and latino voters. those issues include missing signatures or signatures that don't match what's on the record. so you've got election officials reaching out to those voters and the good news is that you can still fix these issues. you have until november 5th to do so. again, if you voted by mail, you can check the status of it online. you still have a few days to fix any problems with your ballot but at this stage in the game in this election, why wait? dan? >> why wait, indeed? victor, thank you very much. really appreciate it.

let's turn to texas now where polls suggest the race is far closer than republicans would like. abc's marcus moore right there in dallas this morning. marcus, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. the early voting numbers in texas have been truly extraordinary. i mean already the number of people who have voted has surpassed the total vote from 2016. more than 9 million people have cast ballots here in texas. and each and every vote is crucial because according to recent polling, texas is a toss-up state now. we did learn overnight a federal judge will hear arguments brought forward by texas conservatives who are challenging the 100,000 ballots cast at ten different drive-through polling locations in harris county. that's in the houston area. and that county is the state's most populous and democratically leaning county. and official there is actually expanded the voting options in response to the covid-19 pandemic.

it is important to point out that a similar challenge was already rejected by the all-republican texas supreme court, and this group is alleging that curbside voting violates state and federal election laws. and they are asking that the ballots be thrown out and now that is a decision that would force voters there to go back to the polls. we have heard from the harris county clerk, chris hollands. he issued a statement late saturday night reiterating that the drive-through voting is, quote, safe, secure and convenient. a judge is set to hear the arguments on monday, but this comes amidst the record-breaking numbers. here's a remarkable statistic. 30% of the people who cast ballots in texas did not vote in 2016 and that gives democrats hope that they can turn texas blue. guys? >> marcus moore for us, thank you so much. we go to pennsylvania now where president trump is putting in an impressive amount of time and energy in the final days of the campaign and where the

biden/harris team is also concentrating their focus and energy as well. abc's alex presha is in philadelphia. alex, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. so pennsylvania, the keystone state, could very easily be the key to victory for either campaign, and both these candidates know it. joe biden will be here in philly later today. president trump had four rallies across the state yesterday. the first lady was here, and then both campaigns will be here again in full force tomorrow, and here's why, pennsylvania's critical 20 electoral votes, joe biden looking to build back the blue wall that democrats lost in 2016 when the president won this state by just over 44,000 votes. to do that women and independents are critical here. biden is leading with both by double digits. now trump's campaign is focusing on mobilizing more white working class voters in factory towns, farming and mining communities

but it could be difficult to get a read on the state on election day. 2.3 million have already returned their mail-in ballots here. multiple counties won't start counting them until after tuesday and a supreme court decision allows mail-in ballots here to be counted for three days after the 3rd. this is also one of several battleground states where a federal judge ruled the post office take extraordinary measures because too many mail-in ballot delays this past week. so those measures could include drive-through ballot postmark and drop-off locations and even sunday collection today. dan. >> alex presha, thank you very much. so much to talk about as we head into this pivotal week in american history. so let's bring in our chief anchor, george stephanopoulos, who is going to be hosting "this week" later this morning. >> hi, dan. >> which states are you watching most closely? >> if you have to pick two, the two biggest are florida and pennsylvania. we have new polls out there this morning showing donald trump has a small lead over joe biden in florida, 50 to 48. basically a toss-up. right now it's four points in our last poll and biden has a seven-point lead over the president in pennsylvania. it was nine in our last polls. basically those two states are

must win for president trump. joe biden doesn't have to win hospitalizations are florida, and if he holds -- and even if he loses pennsylvania he's got some other possibilities. he could pick up north carolina. he could pick up georgia. he could pick up arizona, all those are close right now. he flips any one of them, that could make up for a loss in pennsylvania. >> joe biden at this point has more at this point. when the president warns though, i'm quoting, you will be waiting for weeks for election result, how likely do you think that is? >> it's possible. it's happened before. remember back in 2000 we were waiting for weeks to determine who won the state of florida that made george w. bush president in 2000. look, this extraordinary surge in early voting and absentee ballots, it could take some time to count those ballots, especially in the blue wall states of michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. but it's not guaranteed that it's going to take a long time either. if there's a clear result in florida on election night, we could know on tuesday night who the next president will be. same goes for north carolina and

georgia and, you know, we were just talking about texas. if by some -- if joe biden somehow flips the state of texas, this election is over. >> after all this tumult we may also at this point need some patience, maybe. >> it's going to take some time. >> george, thank you very much. really appreciate it. don't forget to watch "this week" later this morning. george will go one-on-one with senior advisers for both campaigns. jas jason miller for the trump camp and anita dunn for the biden camp. that's coming up on "this week" later this morning right here on abc. also want to remind you we'll have complete coverage on election night. all night long as the results roll in, george will be leading our team with live coverage. and we'll also have the powerhouse political team standing by with them. that's tuesday, november 3rd starting at 7:00 eastern. thank you, george. whit, over to you. dan, we want to turn now to the pandemic dominating the campaign and prompting new warnings from health officials. deaths in the u.s. hitting 230,556. and according to an internal memo from the department of health and human services

obtained by abc news, cases are on an upward trajectory in just about the entire country. abc's trevor ault reports from new york city. >> reporter: this morning as states repeatedly shatter coronavirus records, officials continue to sound the alarm. >> this disease is unrelenting. it doesn't care about what the location is. >> reporter: according to an internal hhs memo obtained by abc news, 48 states, all except nebraska and delaware, are seeing cases rise, and deaths are climbing in 29 states. >> this is an incredibly dangerous virus. >> reporter: kathy james says she and her son-in-law doug were ridiculed for wearing masks in south dakota. after doug got sick and lost his fight with the virus, she had to break the news to his wife, her daughter katrina. >> to tell her that he wasn't going to make it, it's not something you want to have to tell anyone ever. >> reporter: new york will now

require out-of-state travel visitors to get a negative test before they visit as this weekend nyc officials broke up this illegal halloween party packed with nearly 400 people. in el paso fema setting up a field hospital to treat the deluge of patients in the same tents previously used to house separated migrant children at the border. >> whenever fema comes into any community, it's not a good thing. it means that their resources have been strained to the breaking point. >> reporter: the virus still taking an unimaginable toll. kentucky sergeant michael keen, a veteran with no pre-existing conditions, died from covid just days after his son was born premature. the baby now in critical condition. mother and wife nicole left picking up the pieces. >> he was my world, he was my everything. our entire life has changed in just a matter of a couple weeks. and nothing for us will ever be the same. >> reporter: and health officials continue to say small

gatherings with friends and family are a major source of viral spread. dr. deborah birx would not go as far as to say people should avoight getting together for thanksgiving, but she says it's incredibly important everyone stays apart for the next several weeks. eva? >> something everyone is watching as we head into the holidays. trevor, thank you. let's bring in dr. ashish jha, dean of the brown university for public health. thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me on. >> i'm curious. what's your reaction to dr. fauci's comment to "the washington post" that, quote, we're in for a whole lot of hurt in fall and winter? >> what dr. fauci is voicing is what all of us have been worried about. the experts around the country but also the hhs memo that you referenced that over the next 6 to 12 weeks we're going to see a surge in infections, hospitalizations which are already rising are going to continue to rise, and we're going to see a lot of

americans dying from this disease. it was all preventable, but that's where we are unfortunately. >> we're seeing doctors reporting some patients who have both covid-19 and the flu. what kind of a challenge is that for doctors treating those patients and for those patients as they try to recover from both the flu and covid-19? >> luckily that's pretty uncommon, and i suspect it will remain uncommon. obviously anything is possible. but obviously getting two infections at once can be that much worse. we just don't have much experience with managing people like that, so we'll have to take this very carefully. >> and let's talk about the experience and the capacity, hospitals really starting to feel overwhelmed by this. how do hospitals prepare for this type of influx of patients? >> yeah. so i think hospitals across the country are starting to prepare. i'm talking to hospital executives across the country. people are working on expanding capacity. you know, in new york during the spring we had doctors and nurses fly in from across the nation to help. that won't be happening.

because the surge is happening everywhere now, so hospitals really have to think about their own local capacity and work on that. >> something we'll all be watching and monitoring as we head into the winter. dr. jha, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> dan? >> a lot to worry about, unfortunately. let's talk weather, though. rob marciano is out in westport, connecticut. rob, speaking of things to worry about, you're tracking a tropical storm this morning. >> yeah. can you believe that, november 1st? daylight saving is over. but we're still in hurricane season and this one is shaping up to be one like no other. here it is, tropical storm eta. it's about 200 miles south of kingston, jamaica. very weak tropical storm at the moment. but we do expect it to become a hurricane and head west and then kind of stall over honduras and nicaragua for awhile there. could bring 20 or 30 inches of rain. that would be absolutely devastating for those hilly communities there potentially life-threatening, and after that, some of our computer models hint it may

drift north maybe towards the u.s. next week. goodness. hi, i'm abc 7 meteorologist frances dinglasan. we have a sunny sunday ahead of us with temperatures above average. ? san francisco it's going to be 75. in oakland and palo alto 80 degrees today. san jose warming up to 83. plenty of sunshine for everyone, so if you want to head to the beaches, it's a great idea but watch out for some large waves and there's a risk of rip current, strong ones and sneaker waves from 3:00 until 5:00 tomorrow with the beach hazard statement in effect. enjoy the sunshine a a a a a a a >> and with eta we have a a a a officially tied the record of 28 named storms in one season back in 2005. and with 30 days left to go, i think we're going to break that, 2020 in the weather department breaking records and awfully peculiar as well. guy, back over to you. >> that is not a record we were looking forward to. all right. rob, thank you so much.

we'll talk to you soon. as we've been reporting, early voting has reached record levels across the country, and some people are taking extraordinary measures just to be able to cast their ballots with others supporting them. janai norman is here with more. janai, good morning. >> hey, good morning. yeah, the countdown is on, and many americans are doing what it takes to make sure their vote is counted. in south carolina one woman racing against two clocks, waiting in line for three hours to cast her vote on the very same day that her baby was expected to arrive in milwaukee. her organization making near constant trips to the polls making sure everyone they meet has a chance to cast their ballots. and as people are waiting in line for hours across the country, there's this intrepid group of chefs that's providing meals to voters in more than 200 cities saying it is a service to the community to be able to give back to folks doing their civic duty no matter who they may be voting for. so extraordinary measures, indeed, guys. >> can't vote on an empty stomach. >> absolutely not.

>> my mom always told me that. >> exactly. >> especially if you're going to be in line. you got to have some food. >> yep. >> thanks, janai. coming up, we've got an exclusive inside look at the microsoft war room to fight misinformation in the presidential campaign. politics, especially this year, can be such a touchy subject in families. we have expert advice on dealing with these tricky discussions. and this sad story. hollywood remembering sean connery, film's original james bond. we'll be right back.

states continue to shatter records. according to a department of health and human services memo obtained by abc news, 49 states and territories are seeing cases rise. deaths are climbing in 30 states. also right now, the pentagon confirms that american phillip walton has been rescued from his abductors in nigeria. the 27-year-old was kidnapped earlier this week in west africa. elite commandos carried out the high-risk rescue mission with s.e.a.l. team 6 killing all but one of the seven captors. ? a very different story here. it's a boy and a big boy at that. a 150-pound white rhinoceros is the newest member of disney's animal kingdom themed park at walt disney world in florida. his mom is kendi, the first white rhinoceros born at the animal theme park back in 1999. a cute little baby rhino. >> yes. >> babies are just cute all the time. >> needed that this morning. well, we start this half hour with the efforts to fight misinformation in the presidential campaign. abc getting an exclusive look at

microsoft's war room of sorts, taking on those looking to mislead the public online. chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas joins us with more. good morning to you, tom. >> reporter: eva, good morning to you. election security officials say the seven days before the election are the greatest periods of jeopardy for threats of foreign interference. and with the election now just two days away, the stakes could not be higher for those fighting relent foreign interference. this morning we're getting an exclusive look inside microsoft's election security war room where analysts are monitoring potential threats from around the globe to our upcoming election. >> in the last couple months we've seen actors from russia, from iran and from china all increase their activity targeting different people associated with the election and the election process. >> reporter: the majority of cyberattacks coming from russia. just last week the fbi accusing russia of accessing multiple state and local election systems.

>> cybercriminals or other countries could use ransomware to try to disrupt the election by locking up the computers that state and local officials are using to conduct the election or to count the vote or to report the outcome. >> reporter: it's the kind of attack that intelligence officials worry could shake voters' confidence in the election process. and it's something former principal deputy director of national intelligence, sue gordon, who is consulting with the company, says keeps her up at night. >> the idea that adversaries would insert themselves into our electoral process, to me that is without question the biggest threat to our democracy. >> have the potential hacks on the election system, have they increased since 2016? >> 2016 we were a little bit caught flat-footed. we caught the action relatively late. i think the good news is that

even though there are probably more players going against us and folks like the russians and the chinese haven't abated, we are in a much better position to detect it. >> and i asked gordon if hackers have ever changed a vote. she says so far to her knowledge that hasn't happened. but when an election is so close, possibly like what we may see this week, voters are going to want results and confidence the process wasn't tampered with. so even minor hacks could have a major effect if they're not dealt with properly and, whit, we have an entire team monitoring all this as we go into election night. >> well, let's hope hacking does not become the story on election night. tom, thank you so much. we appreciate it. the final countdown to the election. it is "your voice, your vote." we're helping to make it count by breaking down the rules in some key states. at least 38 states this year have put out designated drop boxes where you can actually bring your ballot and drop it off. most states also let you drop off your ballot at county clerk offices. and at this point with just days

to go, most officials and experts are advising people to do this, take your ballot in yourself if you can. also remember that in almost all states you can change your mind and still vote in person even if you asked for or received an absentee ballot. but in 15 states including california, florida and pennsylvania, you have to physically bring your absentee ballot with you and surrender it, hand it over there. every state has strict checks to make sure you can't vote twice. dan? time for the weather and rob marciano in westport, connecticut. rob, good morning again. >> hey, dan, good morning to you in westport. you see the american flags flying behind me on this bridge that we so love and a little nod to election day, right? we'll talk about that forecast. it will be chilly across most of the country. it's cold right now with wind chills in the teens and 20s in chicago. in green bay and minneapolis winds gusting to 40, 50 miles per hour. this alberta clipper means business. and it's heading towards the northeast today as well, so

heavier rains through the i-95 corridor later on today and tonight. temperatures dropping as that artic blast comes through. we'll feel like below freezing from boston, philly, new york and down to d.c. tomorrow morning, and the snow is going to pile up, leave the great lakes. lake-effect snow is cranking there. the election day forecast, snow showers there, pleasant generally speaking but chilly in the east and warm and dry in the southwest. maybe some rain across the northwest. that's a check of what's happening nationally. time for a loo good sunday morning. i'm abc 7 meteorologist frances dinglasan. lots of sunshine today, great day to head outside. san francisco 75, oakland 80 degrees. san jose 83, above average warmth with plenty of sunshine continues s s s s s s s >> this weathercast sponsored by weather tech. a blue moon, full moon last night on halloween. hope everybody survived. time for november. now get back to work. >> i'm trying to clean up that discount halloween candy at this point. >> i put a good dent in our

stash, i'll tell you that much, last night. yep. >> thanks, rob. coming up on "good morning america," remembering sean connery and the words from a james bond who followed in his footsteps. and then beyonce slaying it with three different magazine covers and revealing plans for the future. that's ahead in "pop news." that's ahead in "pop news." future. that's ahead in "pop news." (vo) she's driven by a a lynx in the wild and your cat. for a lynx this need is satisfied by what the wild provides,

for your cat it's meat-rich blue wilderness. because your cat is wild inside. but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters. more big hugs. more small outings. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this may happen during or after treatment has ended and can become serious and lead to death. some of these problems may happen more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. see your doctor right away if you have a new or worse cough;
