7:03 am
mind for some many, security. take a look at the white house. this is a live look. abc news has learned a nonscalable temporary fence is expected to go up there outside today, all of those details coming up in just a bit. >> everyone braced for the big day. it's a busy monday, one day left. take a look at the map. it shows the final day of campaigning for both sides. trump will hold five rallies in four states. joe biden will be in pennsylvania and ohio today. the running mate surrogates also hitting the trail. president obama going to be in georgia tonight. our team is spread out all across the battlegrounds. mary bruce starts us off in pennsylvania. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, with 20 electoral votes the candidates have been spending a lot of time here. now it is crunch time. they are both out in full force today taking their last stands in the critical battleground states that could decide their fate. this morning, the finish line now just hours away. >> we're going to win four more years in the white house. our beautiful white house. >> it's time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. >> reporter: president trump on an all-out blitz holding nine
7:04 am
rallies in six states over the weekend and planning five more today hitting many of the same states. he's playing defense sweeping through areas he won in 2016 with polls showing he has a narrow path to victory, trump is banking on a large turnout on election day. >> we have a giant red wave that's formed. it's formed. >> reporter: while joe biden is flooding the zone in pennsylvania, his entire team today fanning out across the critical state. polls show him still slightly ahead in the keystone state. pennsylvania is one of 33 states that won't start counting absentee ballots until november 3rd. final results could take days but now without any basis trump says ballots should not be counted past election day. >> we should know the result of the election on november 3rd. that's the way it's been and that's the way it should be. >> reporter: but that's just not true. while projections are usually made, no state ever reports final results on election night. biden says he's taking nothing
7:05 am
for granted as he tries to rebuild that blue wall trump broke through in 2016. >> guess what, mr. president, i'm coming for you. >> reporter: hoping to take back michigan, biden saturday with a little help from his heaviest hitter, former president obama. >> oh! >> reporter: obama trying to get out the vote and showing he's still got it. >> that's what i do. >> reporter: biden is also trying to make inroads in once deep red states like georgia, arizona and texas where on friday a biden campaign bus was swarmed by a caravan of trump supporters. the president praising the move retweeting the video adding, i love texas and blasting the fbi's investigation into the incident calling the people involved patriots. the biden campaign calling the ambush reckless, dangerous and an intimidation tactic. sticking to his message biden says the president is surrendering to the pandemic. >> the truth is to beat the virus, we first got to beat donald trump. >> reporter: but the president still eager to change the
7:06 am
subject, putting on a positive spin at his packed rallies. >> and we're rounding the turn on the pandemic. we're rounding the corner. >> reporter: but dr. anthony fauci challenging that view telling "the washington post" you could not possibly be positioned more poorly adding the country is in for a whole lot of hurt this winter. the white house firing back accusing fauci of playing politics ahead of the election. [ crowd chanting "fire fauci" ] >> reporter: and the president hinting he may fire him. >> don't tell anybody but let me wait till a little bit after the election. i appreciate the advice. i appreciate it. no, he's been wrong. >> reporter: with cases reaching record highs, the president is blaming doctors and hospitals claiming without evidence that they're inflating the numbers. >> you know our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. you know that, right? i mean, our doctors are very smart people. >> reporter: the american medical association responding the suggestion that doctors in
7:07 am
the midst of a public health crisis are overcounting covid-19 patients or lying to line their pockets is a malicious, outrageous and completely misguided charge. now, joe biden is spending most of the day in western pennsylvania, but he's also making a stop in ohio, a sign his team thinks that state may be in play. he finishes out with a blockbuster rally with lady gaga at heinz field in pittsburgh while the president today is holding five rallies including one in joe biden's hometown of scan ton, pennsylvania. he's also hitting michigan, north carolina and finishing things out in the critical state of wisconsin, george. >> i think we have to get you in from the rain. first the focus on pennsylvania in our final poll shows a seven-point lead for joe biden. >> reporter: yeah, he's up seven points right now in our latest poll. that is down from nine points in our poll last month. that's still a larger lead than hillary clinton had four years ago but it is not enough, george, to make biden's team confident about this state. it is critical but not a must win for biden. his team does see a path to 270
7:08 am
without winning here in pennsylvania. while there are glimmers of hope for trump in our latest poll, his margin of disapproval appears to be down. >> trump cannot afford to lose it. let's bring in cecilia vega and jon karl and let me begin with you, cecilia. what's your sense of the mood inside the trump camp today? >> reporter: look at the map. it tells you everything, 14 states between saturday and today. they are focused on pennsylvania. they know that is a must win. his final rally tonight is going to be in grand rapids. that also tells you that is where he closed out his 2016 campaign. this shows they're heading into election day on defense only visiting states he won back in 2016. when you talk to folks on the campaign privately, they will concede that they know that this is a very uphill battle. publicly they're going into tomorrow very confident but privately they know they have to turn people out. they're seeing these numbers that democrats are turning out, the early votes, and they know their people need to come out
7:09 am
tomorrow on election day. that is why you are seeing the president hold so many rallies because this is no longer about changing minds, george. this is about getting their supporters out to vote and i'm told the president for his mood he's happier than he's ever been seeing enthusiasm in the large crowds he's been getting the last few days. >> the adrenaline rush the last 24 hours. jon karl, we saw the president say the winner should be declared tomorrow night but there is a very, very high likelihood that's not going to happen and that's not a sign that anything has gone wrong. >> reporter: no, that's absolutely true, especially this year because, george, there is so much vote by mail. and in several of the key states, states like pennsylvania and michigan, they won't even begin counting most of those votes until election day. it simply takes more time. local officials in minnesota, michigan, pennsylvania have all warned people that the counting will take time, likely take days. there's nothing wrong with that. that's the way it goes. we won't have a full count on election night. >> jon, depending on which votes
7:10 am
the states count first, and it's going to be different in every stay, you could have somewhere it looks like joe biden has a huge lead when in fact donald trump will close the gap later and vice versa. >> reporter: that's exactly right. look at the sunbelt -- florida, georgia, texas, north carolina, those are all states with massive early voting, a lot of vote by mail and those are also states that start counting as the votes come in so they're already tabulating the votes and will have results quickly and the first results may well be those mail-in votes that could favor joe biden. so, you know, george, the talk of the president declaring victory prematurely saying that he's got a lead, well, it's quite possible that early in the night that joe biden is the one with the lead. >> right, then you flip it around. in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, could be very possible that donald trump has the lead but that will flip later from mail-in votes. jon karl, thanks very much. >> trying to keep that straight but as we said florida could be a deciding state in this race. now the question this morning, will president trump be able to hold on to it? victor oquendo is in miami with more on what it will take to win
7:11 am
the sunshine state. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after two record-shattering weeks of early voting more than 8.7 million ballots cast, florida is catches its breath. as expected it is a advertise rate in the biggest battleground state. 29 electoral votes up for grabs here. the president knows he needs to carry the sunshine state in order to win state he visited more than any other, a place he calls home back late last night for another rally. the last time former vice president joe biden was in town he said if florida goes blue it's over. according to our latest abc news poll, early voters favor biden by just three points and the majority we spoke with said they already voted or planned on doing so early, leaving just 17% as election day voters. robin, florida always keeps it interesting. >> yes, that's putting it mildly. latinos and seniors expected to
7:12 am
play a crucial role there in florida. >> reporter: we'll start with the latino vote. they appear divided in florida while the president has substantial support from the biggest latino group in the state, cuban-americans, joe biden has a lot of support, broader support from other latino groups like puerto ricans who have been disheartened by the president's response to hurricane maria. one more group is at play here. the independent vote, democrats targeting them because this is a group that tends to be younger with more people of color. robin? >> victor, thanks so much. amy? texas also this year, a battleground and the big question some people are asking, can biden turn texas blue? marcus moore is in dallas with mo more on that. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: amy, good with 38 electoral votes at stake texas could be make or break for either candidate and we have seen remarkable voting in this
7:13 am
race with 9.5 million people casting ballots during early voting here in texas. that's more than the entire vote of 2016 and it's also significant because polls are showing what could be a very close race between president trump and joe biden in the state that historically has been a republican stronghold. now according to the latest polling average from fivethirtyeight, president trump is leading by just one point and one of the factors contributing to the close race is the changing demographic. latinos make up 40% of the population and are a crucial part of the voting block here and democrats hope they can help turn the state blue and it's the reason senator kamala harris toured the state on friday. but there have been some complications with voting. republicans are trying to get a federal judge to throw out more than 100,000 ballots because they were cast at drive-through polling stations in the houston area. they are arguing it violates state election laws and an emergency hearing is set for later this morning and, george, if a judge decides to throw out those votes, that means all of those voters will have to go back to the poll. >> the state supreme court rejected that yesterday. okay, marcus, thanks very much. let's bring in tom llamas for a deeper look at these battle
7:14 am
grounds. we've been focused on six key battlegrounds all through the election. >> reporter: that's right. george, we've been monitoring the polls. the polls are so tight right now and as we've been talking about this is where it ended up four years ago when donald trump won the white house. now, we've been talking about big three, the blue wall right there for democrats that flipped. if joe biden is able to flip those three states look at his totals, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, he's well on his way past 270. he's well on his way to the white house, george. >> that's where it starts which is why president trump is spending so much time on pennsylvania. he needs to flip that. >> that's right. put pennsylvania red right now and say president trump protects all his states and keeps pennsylvania, he'll have to protect everything else including in the south. if he can do that, george, he will become the next president again and get re-elected. if joe biden is able to pick off any of the southern states where the polls are tight including north carolina, look at joe biden's total. just with north carolina, wisconsin and michigan he'll become the next president. let's give that back to president trump. if he can pick off georgia where
7:15 am
the polls are tight as well, 274, joe biden on his way to the white house and the same story if he can pick off florida, 287, there are several paths to the white house. we talked about the political earthquake four years ago when donald trump was able to flip the blue wall here. now if there's another political earthquake, if joe biden is able to flip texas, george, look at that number, 296. it would be game over very early. george, back to you. >> tom, thanks very much. robin? securing this election from threats also a major concern. pierre thomas is in washington with more on that and, pierre, what has authorities most concerned? >> reporter: robin, good morning. as we race toward election day against the backdrop of a surging pandemic, law enforcement is feeling the stress. there is real concern about the potential for civil unrest. you see these stores being boarded up in cities like washington and new york and while no specific threat has been identified, the fbi has been on alert since the alleged plot to kidnap and possibly kill michigan's governor. sources tell us a number of suspects have been under
7:16 am
surveillance in recent weeks and last week authorities arrested suspected neo-nazis who allegedly had a list with the names of prominent people including some from black lives matter. this 19-year-old is accused of contemplating the killing of vice president biden. he allegedly went to a location four miles from biden's house. of course, they're on the lookout for any hacking or disinformation campaigns by the russians or the iranians in the next 24 hours and in the days just after the election. robin? >> oh, my, pierre, thank you. we know george will anchor our live coverage of election night with our powerhouse political team at election headquarters here in new york, also in d.c. and delaware. plus, we'll have correspondents reporting live from various states across the country tomorrow starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. let's all just breathe. >> that is starting tomorrow. could go on a lot longer than tomorrow. we have a lot of headlines this morning including the covid crisis as infections and hospitalizations soar. police in new york broke up an illegally packed halloween party and the cdc is releasing new
7:17 am
guidelines for voting in person. dr. jha is here with what we need to know before we head to the polls. what we're learning about prince william's secret covid diagnosis but first let's go to ginger. >> reporter: yes, amy, hurricane eta, our 12th hurricane of the season has its eyes set on central america. it's about 155 miles east of nicaragua and honduras' border there and anticipate life-threatening flash flooding. up to 35 inches of rain locally. landslides will be a problem. this will be a big issue going into the next 48 hours or so. so that's mid week. then it kind of hangs out. this is why you may or may not have heard online about the next hurricane impacting potentially the gulf of mexico or florida. well, if we go into those next week computer models some of them do try to take it back up into the gulf and potentially impact the united states. we've got a long time until that happens, of course, we'll update you. it'll be better by the end of the week. windy and like dangerously windy in the northeast.
