in donald trump's rallies and how many events is he doing relative to joe biden. >> more than 93 million americans have already voted. we saw long lines again this weekend. who, if anyone, does this benefit the most? >> this benefits joe biden the most because joe biden has encouraged his voters to vote early. now, the problem -- the thing we don't know is are these 93 million people just voting early and they would have voted anyway on election day, or are these people that are new voters? so basically are these people about enthusiasm or more about covid? >> businesses in some cities are boarding up their windows preparing for social unrest after this election. patrols are even being increased here in new york. talk about the unprecedented security concerns before this election. >> it's no surprise that people are prepared for more broken windows, more things, you know, threatening small businesses and big businesses after election day. we're seeing it in washington, d.c.

we're seeing it in new york. i imagine we'll see it throughout big cities and probably medium size cities across america over the coming week regardless of the result. >> before you go, looking at control of the senate, which races are you watching the closest and why? what can we expect? >> well, so i would take a very close look at north carolina. there's been a little bit of a scandal there with a democrat who was considered sort of a shoo-in, was leading the republican there until there was basically text messages of conversations that strongly suggested several extramarital affairs. that's going to be a squeaker right down to the wire. i'd also watch closely for montana and georgia. the democrats are putting a lot of hope in both of those states. if democrats want to keep or take back the senate and make chuck schumer majority leader, those are the states you should be watching for on election day. >> our thanks to alex thompson from politico. and coming up, big news in the fast food industry. the popular menu item coming back.
