while studio 1-a gets an election makeover downstairs. >> that's all ahead of the election of course. the top story this weekend, another horrific shooting, this time at a yoga studio in tallahassee, florida. two people killed before the shooter turned the gun on himself. matt bradley is joining us now with the overnight details. good morning to you. >> good morning. it was over almost as soon as it began. responding officers arrived only minutes after it started so when they got there, the gunfire stopped. the question now, why did it happen? >> breaking overnight, tragedy in tallahassee, a gunman opening fire at a yoga studio in florida killing two and wounded five others before fatally shooting himself. >> we just heard pow, pow, pow, and we saw people running down the stairs. >> police say the shooter opened fire just after 5:30 friday evening. >> all indications are this is the act of a single person.

there's no immediate threat to our community. >> melissa tended to survivors. >> the gentleman that came in apparently tried to fight off the attacker and he had quite a few wounds on his face. >> she recounted the victim's stories. >> they said he came in and he had a black bag and he pulled it out. as he went to go load it everybody started pounding on the windows and the walls to let people know. >> the victims have been identified as nancy and mora brinkley. the republican candidate for florida governor called the news heartbreaking, sending prayers to the victims. and tallahassee's democratic mayor praised the quick response. they're facing off in a tight race for the governor's seat on tuesday. gillam returning to tallahassee

putting his campaign on hold. that race is one to watch on tuesday. tragedies like this one could have an effect. much of the rhetoric between these two candidates and their polar opposites has turned on crime and gun control, peter. >> matt, thank you for that. >> our other big story this morning, a race to the finish for democrat and republicans in the final days before the midterm. just three days to go until america votes and president trump has a packed schedule. he'll be heading to seven states over the next three days. and former president barrack obama will also be making a few more campaign stops in indiana and illinois. we have it all covered for you this morning. let's begin with kelly o'donnell. she's traveling with the president that will headline a rally later today in montana. kelly, good morning. >> good morning. the president's travel itinerary in this push reads like a road map of the country's hottest senate races and he will be here today trying to help a republican challenger defeat the

state's democratic incumbent senator. the president is going to places where he won in 2016 hoping to turn his voters out by tuesday. >> packing a pair of rallies into his friday night. >> thank you. >> a road trip fuelled by a strong october jobs report. >> what job numbers we had today. did you hear? >> in a frenzied final push toward tuesday, the president made clear the issues motivating his voters. >> between justice kavanaugh and the caravans, you people are energized. >> but for all of his focus on winning, the president acknowledged democrats could take control of the house. >> it could happen. it could happen. we're doing very well, and we're doing really well in the senate. but it could happen. >> then his counterpunch. >> if you don't want to be saying the words, speaker pelosi

for the next two years. >> feeling the pressure, he watched his predecessors. >> barrack h. obama. >> return to the campaign trail. >> he had a very small crowd. >> president trump who was often criticized for disregarding facts himself, accused the former president of being untruthful on issues like obamacare. >> lie after lie, broken promise after broken promise. that's what he did. >> the trump's midterm message boils down to defining the choice for voters on his terms, painting democrats as dangerous. >> a blue wave would equal a crime wave. very simple. and a red wave equals jobs and security. >> the president's long time lawyer said he heard president trump use racist language on

multiple occasions over the years. he said i told trump that the rally looked vanilla on television. trump responded that's because black people are too stupid to vote for me. end quote. has the white house commented or the president himself commented? >> the white house has ignored this. they really distanced themselves from michael cohen who was of course once a defender and loyalist and is now one of the more prom ninent detractors. of course in the past he defended the president on these comments saying he was not racist and he came out publicly in part of the timing, trying to make an impact on voters before the election. cohen himself pleaded guilty to a series of financial crimes and in the past defended the president and now he's saying people should know about some of their personal conversations in the past. from the white house, nothing. >> all right, kelly, thank you. >> president trump's predecessor barrack obama not pulling any punches himself, going all out on the campaign trail. unusual for a past president.

he's taken a break today. but in friday he stopped in florida and georgia. there's some hotly contested races for senate and governor. katie, good morning to you. >> good morning, peter. the latest polls in this race has stacey abrams and her opponent within a single point of each other, and there's races like this happening across the country with razor thin margins. president obama hoping he can push those fighting democrats across the victory line. >> if you turn out on tuesday to vote, change starts to happen. hope starts to happen. >> former president obama calling on all democrats to vote in tuesday's midterm election. from wisconsin to pennsylvania -- >> i can see a great awakening happening. >> to florida. he's saving his final stops for

states with tight races like florida where a senate seat and the governor's race are both toss ups. his speeches focused on social justice and inclusivity but also took aim at what he called the failures of republicans. >> you got republicans out there saying, oh, well we will protect. let's call it what it is. it's a lie. >> small minded supporte-- they circling to hear about the issues he cares about. >> had two or three jobs. >> georgia's governor's race is in a dead heat. if stacy abrams wins, she will become the country's first black female governor. >> how big of a impact do you think obama has? >> most in attendance needed no convincing but perhaps the last

push from a familiar voice will get them to the polls. >> if you don like what's going on right now, don't complain, don't get anxious, vote. >> the democrats bringing out everybody they got. even oprah winfrey on the trail. president obama sounding hoarse. he says he hasn't been doing this for awhile. what is president obama's schedule going to look like? >> yeah, his schedule is pretty packed too, peter. he heads to gary indiana where he's going to m ka pacampaign f senator joe donnolley. he has a full schedule almost right up until election day. >> thank you. >> a national political correspondent for nbc news getting ready for a big time. thanks for coming in this morning. this is the most heated midterm election we have seen in a

generation. so will we see a blue wave? is it likely the democrats will take over the house? >> they certainly have -- i think they're considered favorites to take over the house this morning. the senate would be an outside shot. what makes this different than the past is the enthusiasm we're seeing on both sides and we saw this in the last nbc news poll we took a couple of weeks ago. democratic enthusiasm is through the roof. we can see this on your screen. three quarters of democrats saying they're very interested in the midterm election but that republican number climbed up almost to the level as the democrats. to see both numbers that high for a midterm election, that's extraordinary. >> the senate obviously looking tough, at least by the latest polls we have seen for the democrats to be able to take over the senate. there's obviously places that are trying to protect folks in north dakota, missouri, florida. what are you going to be watching in terms of the senate on wednesday? >> they're playing all over the

place. in specifically states that donald trump won. you can get a sense of what they're talking about. talking so much about is ted cruz going to survive there? he has consistently lead in the poll. you can see there this is the average, a 7 point lead for cruz. democrats are trying to take him out. if you go to tennessee, this is a state they think because their candidate is so personally popular, they think he might have a chance. claire mccaskill trying to hold on in missouri. maybe a coup of points behind there. heitkamp the most endangered democratic incumbent. this is a state trump won by nearly 40 points. democrats have to get a coup of those on tuesday night. >> when it comes to governors races there's two candidates that could make history. then we have stacey abrams that would be the first black governor in history.

>> turn out is so important for democrats, especially in georgia. the polling in florida, democrats have been very encouraged by. it's a small lead but a pretty steady lead for him in this race. georgia, when you watch the results come in tuesday, it is a run off state for its governor's election. so if neither candidate crosses 50% on tuesday night, even if one is ahead of the other by a couple of points, they go into a r runoff. >> let's talk about the president's travel. we know politicians often tip their hand, what they're looking at internally by what they're looking at. montana and florida today, what do you note in the places he's trying to get. >> senate races. we're talking about the house and the senate and the republicans have been better on the senate side. all the trump states being the battleground for the senate. there is a scenario and you saw

him trying to emerge from this election and say we were never going to win the house but look at what we did on the senate side. >> it doesn't mean a thing unless people vote. >> we'll find out in a couple of days. >> good conversation, thank you. stay for complete coverage of the midterms. we'll have the latest on all the key races leading up to election day with live coverage of the results coming in tuesday night at 8:00, 7:00 central. >> president trump is using immigration and also stoking fear surrounding that migrant caravan heading toward the u.s. as one of his crucial talking points in these hours leading up to the midterms even though the caravan is still weeks away from getting to the southern border. president trump already deploying thousands of troops there. gabe gutierrez is near the border this morning. gabe, good morning. >> u.s. customs and border protections have seen a surge

over the last couple of months. but the caravan is nowhere near the border just yet. still the military is already here. >> this morning, with the first of three caravans still several hundred miles away from the u.s. border, the military is already beginning to fan out across southern texas. these troops reinforcing this bridge. they're part of the first wave of up to 15,000 troops that president trump says will help secure the u.s. border. >> alex rodriguez is a vietnam veteran and strongly opposes the president's decision. >> this is not an invasion. >> estimates of the caravan's sizes vary widely. according to officials about 8,000 people are making their way toward the u.s. >> an enormous fraud is being perpetrated on the american people. >> she says she's a registered republican who voted for

president trump, a decision she now regrets. >> why do you think this is happening now? >> it's happening now because of the midterms. >> many in the caravans are women and children that say they're fleaing gang -- fleeing gang violence in central america. >> i'd bring every troop i could find. >> he says he's constantly seeing immigrants crossing the rio grande on to his property. he supports the troop deployment. >> what do you say to those that argue this is a waste of taxpayer money? >> they don't live down here. >> so what is the military doing right now? so far installing chain link fencing. troops have been sent here before but their presence is expected to be more visible, just three days before the midterms. >> gabe, thank you. >> let's check in with dylan for
