7:04 am
campaign to air grievances and push false claims about the 2020 election, insisting he should have never left the white house after he lost. >> i shouldn't have left. i mean, honestly, because we did so well. >> reporter: at that rally in all important pennsylvania, trump suggesting he wouldn't mind if journalists covering his campaign were shot. >> they have this piece of glass here. but all we have really over here is the fake news, right? and to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news, and i don't mind that so much. i don't mind. >> reporter: his campaign telling us trump was joking. it's the second time he's said this about republican liz cheney, who has endorsed vice president kamala harris. >> she's a radical war hawk. let's put her with a rifle
7:05 am
standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face. you know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in washington. >> reporter: trump's campaign downplayed those comments. the former president hitting three swing states in one day, going from complaining that president biden is no longer in the race to calling democrats demonic. >> but this is a group of people, larger than people think. but it's a very demonic party. it's become that way. the people aren't. the people, democrats, regular democrats aren't. most of them agree with what i'm saying. >> reporter: as he tries to win back georgia, the former president campaigning with herschel walker the senate candidate who lost after it was revealed he allegedly paid a woman he had an affair with to have an abortion. something walker has denied. >> we will build a missile defense shield all made in the usa, wrapped around our country to defend ourselves and our country. it's all going to be made in the united states.
7:06 am
a lot of it in your great state. we'll put herschel walker in charge of that little sucker, okay? >> reporter: in the final stretch also campaigning alongside robert f. kennedy jr. kennedy, who pushed a range of conspiracy theories about vaccines, said trump promised him he would be in charge of the public health agencies. >> i want to be in the white house. he's assured me that i'm going to have that. >> reporter: over the weekend saying a trump administration would advise all u.s. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. the trump campaign putting out another statement saying the former president received a range of policy ideas but remains focused on tomorrow's election. today he heads to north carolina, pennsylvania and michigan. >> george: thank you very much. >> robin: right now we're going to turn to our chief white house correspondent mary bruce in pennsylvania with the latest on the harris campaign. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. kamala harris is finishing out the campaign crisscrossing this all important state.
7:07 am
she's hoping to turn out every last voter by convincing them she's the candidate who can turn the page. overnight kamala harris making her final pitch to voters in michigan. >> i am here to ask for your vote. i am here to ask for your vote. >> reporter: eager to end on a positive note, harris not mentioning her opponent by name, opting to focus less on donald trump and more on the kind of president she would be, drawing a sharp contrast. >> i pledge to listen to those who will be impacted by the decisions i make. i pledge to listen to experts. and i pledge to listen to people who disagree with me. because you see i don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. in fact, i'll give them a seat at the table.
7:08 am
because that's what strong leaders do. >> reporter: but in a state with one of the largest arab and muslim populations, harris aware that the war in the middle east is a crucial issue. in east lansing pledging to end the conflict and suffering. >> this year's been difficult given the scale of death and destruction in gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in lebanon. it is devastating. and as president, i will do everything in my power to end the war in gaza to bring home the hostages, end the suffering in gaza, ensure israel is secure and ensure the palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, security and self-determination. >> reporter: the vice president crisscrossing the key battleground state on her last weekend of campaigning, hoping
7:09 am
to get out the vote and reach key constituencies like black voters with stops at churches. >> my joy cometh in the morning and church morning is on its way. >> reporter: and black owned businesses. >> this is a fight that is not against something as much as it is for something. >> reporter: in the final sprint, both campaigns trying to broaden their reach playing ads during nfl games speaking directly to voters. >> just remember, kamala and her friends broke it. i'll fix it. most important election in the history of our country. go and vote. >> now the baton is in our hands. i pledge to seek commonsense solutions to make your life better. and i pledge to be a president for all americans. >> reporter: harris taking a moment to cast her own ballot, too, by mail. >> make sure you fill out your ballot. i did mine. i'm gonna put it in the mail.
7:10 am
>> reporter: making a surprise appearance on saturday night live. playing the mirror image of actress maya rudolph's version of her. >> because what do we always say? keep kamala and carry on-ala. >> reporter: kamala harris is spending the entire last day of this campaign here in pennsylvania. the state most likely to tip this race. she has several events throughout the day and then culminates in what is expected to be a massive rally. she's leaning on big names like katy perry, oprah, lady gaga and ricky martin, the roots and others to help get her to the finish line. >> george: okay, mary. thanks. let's bring in rick klein. one of the most remarkable things we have seen here, it basically hasn't moved since kamala harris got in the race. >> exactly right. good morning, george. our final poll has a three point lead 49% to 46%. that's what we showed yesterday. we stayed in the field an extra day to see if there's any late change. identical. the race has barely budged the
7:11 am
entirety of the race. all of that said, there's been some intriguing movement late in the battleground states. the latest and last new york times poll shows kind of the reverse image of what you might expect. harris very narrowly ahead in nevada as well as north carolina and georgia. those are must win states if you're donald trump. that's a little bit of a surprise. meanwhile, the opposite is true in some of the battleground states that harris has to win. right now a tied race in pennsylvania, a tied race in michigan. that's problematic for the harris campaign. that tells you why both campaigns are nervous. they still have to defend what should be state territory in a close race. >> robin: let's break this down. let's talk about the gender gap. former president trump the clear favorite among men, while kamala harris big lead among women. >> that's right, robin. our poll has trump leading among men by five points. harris up by 11. that's 15 point gender gap. not far from what it is typically. if you drill down more inside some subgroups you see a bigger range. among independent, 22 point gender gap.
7:12 am
among voters under 30, among younger voters, that is a 45 point gap. that's a huge break for women under 30. that harris lead is enormous. the fact that trump has a tiny lead among men doesn't weigh that out. >> george: one other constant, the american people seem to be divided and super angry. >> you see it here. 74% of americans say we are on the wrong track going into election day. that's an astounding number. includes half of harris supporters. 98% of trump supporters. wild numbers. those are the things that are typically brutal for an incumbent party. this is an unusual year in so many way. >> robin: as we've been reporting a huge number of people have already voted, rick. >> it's a big deal, robin, but a 78 million plus americans have already voted. it's going to take a while to count those votes. record number of in person votes. but the mail votes start to pile up. every state different.
7:13 am
georgia and north carolina for instance. we are expecting a relatively fast count. some soft biggest pennsylvania counties say they're going to handle things differently. nevada and arizona probably won't have final votes by the end of the week. that is not a sign of anything being off. it's what state officials say to expect especially if the margins are tight. >> robin: that's what we all must keep in mind, rick. thank you very much. for our reporting let's bring in jonathan karl. you spoke with the former president yesterday, donald trump. >> i spoke to him early. voice sounded weary, a little scratchy. he's got this unbelievably packed campaign schedule. but i have to say, although he told me he thinks he's leading everywhere -- by the way, he said he hadn't seen that new york times poll that shows him trailing within the margin of error. he did acknowledge something he never acknowledged before. i asked him, is there any way you could lose? he said, yeah, i guess you could lose. bad things could happen.
7:14 am
the other thing is, he took issue with the notion that he's been off message which some of his top advisers say he's been all over the map in his speeches. all the negativity, not focusing on the core economic issues they say he should be focused on. he calls it the weave. he said the weave got me elected president. we saw it continue yesterday. >> george: one thing that's pretty consistent, we saw donald trump's message, pretty dark, pessimistic. at least in the last day kamala harris coming out much more hopeful. fundamental planning of modern american politics the more hopeful optimistic candidate wins. if trump wins it's testing that. >> it tests so much of what we think we know about politics if trump wins. both that, in terms of the ground game. this has been an intensely negative campaign all around. end of democracy versus the end of our country as we know it. but donald trump has gone incredibly dark. even in ways that frankly have shocked me. when he said yesterday invoked
7:15 am
the idea of shooting through reporters and he wouldn't mind that. we've reached a new level. >> george: it really is something. we just heard jon say it's not exactly what the campaign wants donald trump to be doing but there is some strategy. trying to drive out angry young men. >> absolutely. this is where the form pert has been focused in the final days with his messaging. he's been appearing on podcasts, trying to energize infrequent voters, young males, to get out and vote. i was talking to one republican over the weekend. they said show me where he's campaigning and i'll show you where you are concerned about. there's nowhere he is spending more time than north carolina. >> george: why is that? >> it's the only battleground state where he is on defense. he won the state in 2020. you have a governor candidate that has been shrouded in controversial. most of the counties donald trump won in that state are rural counties that have been impacted by hurricane helene. i talked to donald trump a few days ago. he felt pretty confident about his chances.
7:16 am
again three stops over the weekend. another stop there today. >> george: we did see that new york poll. thank you very much. rebecca? >> rebecca: we get more on the security concerns, both physical well being of poll workers and foreign attempts to interfere through disinformation. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is here. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: rebecca, good morning. in the final hours of the campaign, local officials are taking steps to protect election workers. in detroit, they have bulletproof glass and a panic button for workers to call police, even on the roof. as this vote counting site in maricopa county, arizona, metal detectors, armed guards, surveillance cameras and, if necessary, a swat team. in washington state, nevada an oregon, governors plan to have national guard available for any large scale civil disturbances. despite all the security concerns for election workers, homeland security officials say
7:17 am
voters will be safe to vote and for 97% of them there will be a paper record of how they cast their vote, meaning complete accuracy for recount. they say voting machines cannot be hacked because they're not connected to the internet. i spoke to a law enforcement official over the weekend who said this should be the most secure election ever. guys? >> george: let's hope so. pierre, thank you very much. coming up, we are zooming in on some key battleground states one day until the final votes. >> rebecca: plus what sparked the violent altercations between police and fans in the stands at a college football game. >> robin: breaking overnight the legendary quincy jones passing away. this morning we remember the music titan. but first ginger with the state of emergency. tornados really ripped through oklahoma. >> ginger: violent weekend there. five confirmed tornados already. one as high as an ef-3. several ef-1's and 2. you see the damage. you can see why this is a problem. thankfully, no one was killed. 11 people were injured and sent to the hospital. this video is from oklahoma city proper. southeast side of okc. unfortunately, they've had a
7:18 am
very busy morning. that front starting to kick more of these storms off. right now though just flood watches and flash flood warnings in parts of the ozarks, parts of arkansas. what i want you to watch, later this afternoon and evening as things perk back up, anywhere from portsmith, texarkana, up to okc into southwestern missouri, you've got tornado threat with damaging winds. that's the one story. but we also have an area that we're watching in the caribbean. this area of low pressure will likely become a depression and we'll look for it to move up and impact the cayman islands. they've got hurricane watch. western cuba could see mud slides with the heavy rains. watch for key west or southwest florida, even though it looks like it turns a little away. that high pressure system is what's gonna drive it. then we've got this trough that comes in. these are the spaghetti plots that take us to the end of this week and the weekend. something we'll be watching very closely. all right.
7:19 am
we'll have record highs to talk about but first let's get your local weather in 30 seconds.
7:20 am
>> rebecca: coming up, guys, the winners of the new york city marathon are live in times square. we also have a lot of winners on our gma staff who ran in that race. we will be right back. congratulations to all of them. b and being part of a team can be tough. but with an organization like best buddies by your side anything's possible. join our movement. this saturday and sunday jersey mike's is donating 20% of sales to best buddies.

stage. he thanked the workers below for catching him. thank goodness. but, yes. first time you see that video, you feel it. >> robin: you really do. >> rebecca: we've got a lot more ahead including james vanderbeek revealing his cancer diagnosis. >> george: now some of the battleground states. we'll start with georgia. donald trump won in 2016, lost by fewer than 12,000 votes in 2020. steve osunsami is in atlanta. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. we are already seeing record turnout in this election. so far more than 4 million people voted. compare that to 2020 when the total vote was about 5 million. so people are curious whether or not we are even going to see long lines at polls like this one tomorrow. republicans point to success in some of the small deep red counties where voter turnout is near 70%. incredible numbers. the only issue is that's not
7:33 am
where most of the people live. they live in counties like this one where i'm at this morning. fulton county, where the polling turnout has been well above the state averages. both campaigns are gonna be on the lookout for what you might call closeted voters. on the left black and women voters for trump. on the right, independents who are sick and tired of the chaos, the indictments and the lies about the 2020 presidential election results. people who won't vote for the former president. one thing to keep a close eye on are new voters. so far more than 500,000 of them, many of them people who have moved from out of state, young voters, and one important thing to note tomorrow for anxious nerves. we could get an indication of how this early vote falls very early. under new state law, the
7:34 am
counties here now have to report all of the early votes and the absentee votes they have so far within an hour of the polls closing. the polls close at 7, which means we could see the results of those 4 million votes as early as 8:00. robin? >> robin: that would be different from the last go around. all right, steve. our thanks to you. the so called blue wall states are thought to be vice president harris' clearest path to victory. she heads to pennsylvania after spending yesterday in michigan. juju chang is there in detroit for us. good morning, juju. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it is down to the wire here in michigan. you know, historically there have been two giant guardians at the gate for the blue wall for democrats. one is african-american voter. that is why kamala was here at a black church in detroit this final sunday. remember hillary lost here in a squeaker in part because of lower african-american turnout. trump all picked away at blue collar workers, the other guardian. detroit home to the car industry. even top leadership of the uaw has endorsed harris and is organizing for her campaign i
7:35 am
talked to a 30 year veteran of the union say a lot of his buddies feel the leadership has lost touch with the factory floor. >> robin: you talked to some other voters. the muslim american vote there in michigan is so key, to important. you spoke with some voters from that key block? >> reporter: absolutely. they make up the largest percentage of arab american voters in the country. they are solidly dems here in michigan but many told us they can't bring themselves to vote for harris because of the war in gaza, even though they know trump is even more pro israel. now one muslim leader, ali dagger a life long democrat who'ven worked for obama in 2008 told us his ballot sat unopened for weeks. he opened it and told us he has finally decided to vote for harris. he's telling his friend, don't sit this one out. if you don't vote, you don't count, robin. >> robin: because inaction is
7:36 am
actually inaction. people need to know that if they don't vote. >> rebecca: thank you, robin. abortion is also on the ballot in ten states including the battleground state of arizona. elizabeth schulze is in phoenix with more. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. we are right outside the maricopa county election center where 60% of arizona's ballots will be counted. directly on those ballots is abortion. arizona is one of ten states with an initiative to expand abortion rights. the proposition would enshrine the right to abortion in arizona's constitution. organizers tell us they are optimistic that it will pass with bipartisan support at the top of the ticket. the former president trump slightly ahead. he narrowly lost to president biden here by just 10,000 votes in 2020. rebecca, that was the first win for a democrat since 1996.
7:37 am
>> rebecca: of course, we saw the tight race in 2020 play out with protests and conspiracy theories there. what does security look like this time around? >> reporter: and this center really was the target of some of the protest from trump supporters. some workers tell us they are still facing violent threats on their lives. you can see this iron fence. that was put up after the 2020 election. there's another fence outside the perimeter of the building. the sheriff's office tells us they've all put in place sniper, patrols on horse back, drones, just for extra surveillance. rebecca? >> rebecca: deep appreciation for all the people doing that work there. thank you. robin? >> robin: we're gonna turn to the life and legacy of quincy jones. the music titan who worked with frank sinatra, michael jackson, ray charles and so many more, passing away overnight. lara is here with more. i remember when he was asked time and time again how he wanted to be remembered, he would always say as a good father. >> lara: he did. and that he was, robin.
7:38 am
good morning to you. he was the father of seven children. in fact, his very last post on saturday was wishing his daughter martina a happy birthday. but quincy jones was a creative genius, considered one of the most influential forces in modern american music. his career spanning 70 years and in that time giving us some of the most memorable music of his life time. the world is mourning music titan quincy jones considered to be one of the greatest minds in music and television history. >> i have seen the power of music as a tool to reach the hearts and minds of millions of people. >> lara: born in chicago, jones found his love for music when he moved to seattle as a young teenager. it's there he met his friend and collaborator ray charles. >> ray was god to me. >> lara: in the 1950s jones followed his passion working as a trumpeter for lionel jazz band. he worked with frank sinatra on the classic "fly me to the moon." ♪ fly me to the moon ♪ ♪ come on
7:39 am
