deal. their second title in six years, plus, the historic night for a rookie shortstop as we say -- >> good morning, america. let's go. good morning, america. for those of you in areas that observe daylight saving time, we hope you're feeling refreshed from that extra hour of sleep. hopefully you got that extra hour of sleep as we switch to standard time. we are live in philadelphia as part of our team coverage for the midterm elections just two days away now. >> yep, that's right. it's heating up, eva. control of both houses of congress is at stake on tuesday and with polls showing so many races are deed heats, it's no surprise to see how intense these last days are on the campaign trail. this weekend the current president and three former u.s. presidents were out campaigning, three of them in pennsylvania alone. >> it goes to show how important that state is, and both sides spending massive amounts of money on campaign ads.

according to the wesleyan media project, $3 billion nationwide and also a lot of voters. we have seen those long lines at a number of early voting sites in places like wisconsin and north carolina. >> and as we plunge into the last two days of campaigning, a new abc news/"washington post" poll puts the economy and inflation as top concerns of voters, and those feelings are more intense among republicans. education, threats to democracy and crime are also major concerns. abc's maryalice parks is here with us this morning. good morning to you, maryalice. >> good morning. eva, yeah, exactly, and we tens of millions of americans have already voted this election, those long lines of early voting this weekend, and so much attention right here in pennsylvania. both parties really just bringing out all the stops to try to get their voters to the polls. an incredible split screen overnight in pennsylvania. with two days to go, two presidents together in

philadelphia, across the state a third. >> are you fired up yet? [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: president biden and former president obama hand in hand with both democratic senate candidate john fetterman and gubernatorial candidate josh shapiro telling the crowd, the right to vote is on the line. >> truth and facts and logic and reason and basic decency are on the ballot. ballot.cy itself is on the - >> reporter: the crowd raucous, largely younger voters. democrats hoping the star power will deliver the shot in the arm needed to keep pennsylvania blue. biden calling out former president trump's rally across the state in latrobe. >> this crowd is so loud, i think they can hear us in latrobe. >> reporter: trump landing his signature plane before his own riled up and excited crowd

campaigning for the republican ticket, doug mastriano running for governor and republican senate candidate dr. mehmet oz. >> if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the american dream, then this tuesday you must vote republican in a giant red wave. >> reporter: pennsylvania could decide control of the senate as could a number of laser tight senate races from new hampshire to arizona to georgia. americans dialed in long lines of early voting in madison, wisconsin, and charlotte, north carolina, this weekend. in new york, another former president, bill clinton, campaigning next to governor kathy hochul, her race suddenly close. >> we'll win this election because of the people in this room. >> reporter: hochul's challenger, congressman lee zeldin, like so many republicans, doubling down on messaging around crime. >> we are taking our streets back. we are taking our subways back.

>> i talked to a lot of democratic voters last night at that event with president obama and president biden, and, eva, they mentioned a lot of issues that matter to them, but every single one talked about this issue of democracy, voting for their right to vote, how worried they were that some republican candidates were continuing to be skeptical and cast doubt on elections. >> and we're hearing those voters talk so much about the issues in this election. maryalice, thank you so much. let's zero in on other races, two other key states, first, georgia. abc's ike ejiochi joins us from atlanta. good morning to you, ike. >> reporter: good morning, eva. when you talk about races coming down to the wire, you wouldn't be able to find one closer than what's happening right here in the georgia senate race. the latest polling average from fivethirtyeight showing incumbent democrat senator raphael warnock in a statistical tie with republican challenger herschel walker. as both candidates are out campaigning in a last-ditch effort to boost voter turnout, warnock has been talking about his work with senator ted cruz in an attempt to attract independent and split ticket

voters, and walker has recently appeared with far right conservative figures like marjorie taylor greene honing in on social issues like parental rights, walker also trying to move past the recent controversy surrounding a second woman claiming walker paid for her abortion, an issue he has vocally campaigned against. now, another key race here, the gubernatorial race between incumbent brian kemp and democratic challenger stacey abrams. fivethirtyeight showing concern with a healthy lead, eva. >> ike ejiochi for us there in atlanta, thanks, ike. now to nevada, a stronghold for democrats, but this year polling is giving republicans an edge in the race for u.s. senate. abc's morgan norwood is in las vegas with more. good morning to you, morgan. >> reporter: eva, good morning. all eyes on nevada as we're starting to see republicans muster up enough momentum to potentially flip a traditionally blue state red. let's break this down. we have republican adam laxalt facing off against incumbent

democratic senator catherine cortez masto. according to analysis by fivethirtyeight, laxalt has a 58% chance of defeating cortez masto, and the latest polling actually has them running neck and neck. representative steve horsford susie lee, and dina titus also seeking re-election, and then there's the race for secretary of state. the position, of course, tasked with overseeing the elections. democrat cisco aguilar is running against jim marchant, he's a republican backed by donald trump and a 2020 election denier. should he win nevada could be looking at an overhaul of its election system ahead of the 2024 presidential race. bottom line, the race for nevada highly competitive in this race and expect inflation to be a key driving point for many voters as they head to the polls. >> morgan talking to voters last week, so many talking about the economy. i'm heading back out there tonight. certainly will be a close race, thank you so much. turning to the heightened concerns about political violence ahead of tuesday's voting. election officials stepping up

security. abc's aaron katersky is here as federal intelligence officials are now advising local authorities to be on high alert. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, janai. this really is a moment of political frenzy that law enforcement officials fear is growing dangerous. a law enforcement analysis obtained by abc news said domestic violent extremists pose a heightened threat to the midterms. potential targets include polling workers, election workers or ideological opponents, and while most americans will vote without a hitch, the nation's political atmosphere is colored by violence. think of the conspiracy theorists who allegedly broke into house speaker nancy pelosi's home and attacked her husband. self-appointed poll watchers that are showing up with guns and tactical gear at ballot drop boxes in arizona. there have never been as many threats made against members of congress, and the situation is all the more fraught, officials say, because a small but growing portion of the population is convinced election results are unreliable, and they are

unlikely to accept the legitimacy of the outcomes unless their candidates win, and intelligence officials are also concerned that the nation's foreign adversaries will seek to disrupt the vote or perhaps use social media to amplify a sense of discord in america with our in-boxes the next couple of days going to be filled with misinformation. americans are advised to exercise caution and skepticism, whit. >> important information, something we'll watch closely, aaron, thank you. so the polling down this final stretch is showing razor thin margins. our latest abc news/"washington post" poll finding 49% of registered voters favoring the republican in their congressional district and 48% for the democrat. compare that to four years ago when democrats had a seven-point margin ahead of election day. let's bring in our abc news political director rick klein at our big board there. rick, good morning to you. let's go ahead and start in the senate. where does each party see a

realistic path to victory? >> whit, the senate is now at 50/50, and if it stays that way democrats keep control because they have the tiebreaking vote with vice president harris. but let me tell you how republicans see a path to potentially getting to 51. that's their magic number. they think they'll be fine with senator rubio in florida and feel good about their chances in north carolina with congressman ted budd and they also like the idea of holding on to the state of ohio, wisconsin with their incumbent as well and they feel like utah, the challenge there is a little bit overblown, then they think if they just have one opportunity there to keep the state of pennsylvania with mehmet oz against john fetterman, that puts them right at 50. then they're just one state away. it could be georgia, it might be nevada which has been trending their way and, boom, they have their magic number. on the other hand, democrats think they'll be fine in the state of new hampshire despite the challenge against maggie hassan. they think washington is a pretty blue state. similar for colorado, senator mark kelly wins in arizona, and if they're able to then take the state of pennsylvania, if john fetterman is able to flip it,

that's why we see so many people there. if fetterman flips it, they are one state away. all they have to do is hold on to georgia with raphael warnock or nevada, either one of those situations put them at 50. they stay in control. >> it truly is a puzzle for both parties to figure out. while i have you, i want to ask you about the governor's race in new york getting a lot of attention, surprising some people. tell us what's at stake and how this race got so close. >> yeah, i want people to realize why new york is suddenly coming into the national landscape. we get all this national attention right here in new york because suddenly it is a competitive governor's race. no one thought that kathy hochul would be in trouble, but that crime issue is big, and there's another big reason as well, whit. this is what the house map looks like right now. you see democrats in firm control of this area in the hudson valley, the lower catskills. but under the redistricting map that was forced on democrats in new york, all of these districts potentially are in play. you could have three incumbent democrats lose their jobs on tuesday, and keep in mind, to hold on to the house, democrats only have a margin of five.

republicans just have to flip five districts across the country to win control. they could get more than half that total right here in blue new york. >> love that in-depth look. rick, thank you so much. we appreciate it. let's go back to eva in philadelphia, and, eva, we just heard from rick how close these races are, and you're learning more about how long it could take before we have final results. >> yeah, we definitely are. after the polls close on tuesday, we are unlikely to know which party will have control of congress. the reason, varying vote counting procedures in different states, so let's bring back in maryalice parks. if these races are close, it's possible it could take a couple of days to get the results. we may not know who is controlling the senate. kind of what should we be prepared to expect? >> yeah, eva, that's exactly right. we might not know on tuesday night, especially if these races are as close as rick was just talking about, and that's largely because americans have changed how they vote. so many more are taking advantage of early voting and mail-in voting, and that really

extends the window of counting. it doesn't mean that anything is wrong. it actually means that states are being very careful. that they're checking every one of those absentee ballots and they're verifying the signatures. they're verifying the voters, but in 19 states voters can drop their ballots in the mail on election day, and so that extends that window for when states can receive those ballots and count them, and it just means everyone has to be a little patient. >> what states are you anticipating are going to be states that are going to take a little bit longer? >> well, right here in pennsylvania the secretary of state already warned it could take a few days, hopefully not quite as long as it took in 2020. but washington state, rick was talking about how there's a close senate race there. washington state is an all mail-in vote state, and again voters can drop their ballots on election day, so it could take a while there if that race is really close. california is also expecting to have a large percentage of early and absentee voting and i think this is important to remember, it's important to remind people, there's actually a lot of evidence that mail-in voting is more secure.

one voter, one bar code, one ballot, a paper trail, so, again, just if it takes days to count, that doesn't mean there's anything wrong. that means state officials are being careful, and it just means we do everything state by state and that each state controls their own process. >> yeah, i know here in pennsylvania they can't open the ballots until 7:00 a.m. on election day to even begin the counting process, so they can't start counting until tuesday. >> exactly. >> thanks so much, maryalice. and tune in to "this week." martha raddatz speaks exclusively with senator cory booker about the democrats' plan to hold congress as polls suggest tighter than expected races across the country, plus much more from our abc news/"washington post" poll, and jonathan karl speaks with virginia governor glenn youngkin about what a republican takeover of congress would mean for americans. and we will have full coverage of election night on tuesday starting at 8:00 p.m. on abc and streaming live on abc newslive starting at 7:00. >> we will certainly have a lot to talk about. well, turning overseas now

in the meantime, to the war in ukraine and iran's 180 finally admitting its part in helping russia. abc's tom soufi burridge is in kyiv. tom, good morning. the iranians admitting to supplying russia with drones. >> reporter: good morning, janai. yeah, an extraordinary about turn from the iranians finally admitting they have supplied russia with lethal drones but claiming it was done before putin invaded. overnight a blunt response from zelenskyy, the president accusing the iranians of lying and the biden administration privately encouraging top officials here in kyiv to drop their public refusal to engage in peace talks with the kremlin according to "the washington post." now, this is not about the u.s. forcing ukraine to the negotiating table, but possibly asking them to keep the door for talks at least slightly open. ukraine, though, firmly believes its only real option right now is to force moscow into submission on the battlefield. as one ukrainian official told me, diplomacy will have its day,

but now is not the time. whit. >> tom soufi burridge for us, thank you. shifting gears coming back here at home and the world series. we have a new champion and the possibility of a new dynasty in the making. the astros taking game six at home last night. abc's will reeve is in houston didn't get much sleep. people - will, good morning to you. >> reporter: yeah, whit, you're exactly right. and they're going to need to update the signage around here. 2022 champs, congratulations to the astros. thorough domination through and through, especially sweet for dusty baker. the manager has won over 2,000 games in the major leagues. now he's getting a ring. >> there goes the runner, fly ball. this time they finish the job! the houston astros, world champions. >> reporter: this morning, the houston astros are world series

champions, the first team to clinch the world series at home since 2013. houston beating the philadelphia phillies, 4-1 in game six in front of an electric home crowd. kyle schwarber putting the phillies on the board first in the top of the sixth inning crushing a solo home run to deep right field. but the astros had an answer for that. >> alvarez hits a high drive, center field. >> reporter: this three-run sixth inning home run from yordan alvarez was all the astros needed to pull ahead for good and give baseball legend dusty baker his first world series as a manager. >> they told me in spring training that they're going to win. now, what's next? party. >> reporter: rookie sensation jeremy pena won world series mvp. >> man, you dream of this as a kid, but it feels so far away, you know, you feel like it's this elusive thing, but, you know, we made it happen.

>> reporter: just two losses in this postseason for the astros, a deserving champion, a budding dynasty, indeed. just one piece of baseball trivia here for you, guys. it's amazing, dusty baker made his managerial debut for the giants back on april 6th, 1993 against the cardinals. the leadoff hitter for st. louis that day, geronimo pena, father of world series mvp jeremy pena. janai. >> wow, that is incredible, will. thank you for the fun fact and congratulations to dusty. we're going to switch gears now and get a check of the weather with danielle breezy from our nashville affiliate, wkrn. hey, danielle. >> reporter: good morning, janai. glad to be with you this morning. we want to start with the record warmth in the northeast. take a look at this. several record highs were set yesterday. 79 in newark, new jersey, augusta, maine, 76 degrees. that's the warmest november temperature on record, so it was warm, and guess what, it'll be warm again as we head into today and tomorrow. temperatures in the 80s in raleigh, in the 70s in d.c., new york and even into boston.

now to "your voice, your now to "your voice, your vote" and a look at one traditionally blue south florida stronghold that could turn red in the upcoming election. abc's jay o'brien joins us from miami, florida. jay, good morning to you. >> reporter: eva, good morning. registered republicans now outnumber democrats here in florida. it's a major shift that's leading voters to decide tuesday whether this is still a swing state or if florida is reliably red. 48 hours out from election day, florida's governor ron desantis and senator marco rubio holding comfortable leads against their democratic challengers, charlie crist and congresswoman val demings, out making their final case to voters. here in miami-dade, gop voters

even outpacing democrats in early voting and vote by mail raising the question of whether this historically blue county could go red. over in little havana, jose, a registered democrat, now pulling for desantis and rubio. why did you change your affiliation? >> well, three things, the border, biden inflation and crime. >> reporter: former president donald trump, a florida resident now eyeing a potential third run for the white house in 2024 set to rally with rubio today in the miami area where the former president made historic gains in 2020 coming within seven points of beating biden. a close striking distance in that county for republican incumbents. and at hard rock stadium in miami gardens as the university of miami, the "u," took on florida state. >> for me the big issues are the economy, and i'm also worried about some of the social issues like, you know, abortion rights. >> reporter: but as the gop

makes significant gains, local south florida democrats are knocking on doors under pressure to get supporters to the polls before the sunshine state slips out of their grasp. >> i am a female, and so everything about my life is on the line. when they say vote like your life depends upon it this election, that's what it truly means. >> yes. >> reporter: and across the state republicans are also outvoting democrats in early voting and vote by mail, meaning democrats have to make huge gains in voter turnout on election day to close the gap. janai. >> florida always keeps it interesting. jay, thank you so much. and it's not just names you'll see on the ballot, voters in a number of states will decide on some of the biggest issues through ballot initiatives. our political director, rick klein, is back at the midterm monitor. all right, rick, so we know abortion rights are big, but definitely a major voting issue in some places. >> yeah, janai, after the roe v. wade decision was overturned by the supreme court, abortion rights are essentially on the

ballot everywhere, but they are literally on the ballot in five states voting on tuesday. in kentucky, voters are being asked whether they want to explicitly say there isn't a right to an abortion under the constitution. in montana, they're looking to potentially impose penalties on anyone who doesn't try to save the life of a fetus that even one that's aborted. meanwhile, three states, california, vermont and michigan are all voting to establish potentially a right to an abortion under the state constitution. michigan, in particular, very closely watched because they have a close governor's race as well. >> we remember how big that was in kansas when it was put on the ballot, and now, rick, other big issues come tuesday, marijuana and gun control. those are also on the line. >> yeah, these are the states, on whether to legalize deciding- recreational marijuana. of course, that's happening in states across the country despite the federal ban that's still in place, and it'll be interesting to see how that develops because most states are moving in that direction, and on gun rights, janai, this is interesting. the state of iowa is looking to make it harder to impose any new restrictions on gun laws, and oregon might go in the opposite direction.

they're looking to impose requirements around background checks, around permitting, around even firearms training for anyone who is looking to purchase a gun. >> so many of those issues we've heard so much about this year, rick. we will all be watching. thank you so much. and still coming up here on "good morning america," the challenging conditions for runners at today's new york city marathon. we like the heat, but they'll be pounding the pavement toward the finish line. stay with us. stay with us. - while serving in iraq, our vehicle was hit and it was bad. back home, i had to learn to live with the scars both visible and invisible. having someone on your side means everything. - [announcer] dav helps veterans like latoya get the benefits they've earned. they help more than a million veterans every year. - my victory is overcoming my wounds so i can help other veterans. - [announcer] support more victories for veterans. go to dav.org. i'm getting vaccinated with prevnar 20®. a pfizer vaccine!
