florida, 69 % of the vote counted. fast count in florida. in the marco rubio war-room and looking at these numbers, that's incredibly steep math to look up when you're at 70% of the vote. donald trump filling in the map everywhere except marco rubio's home, miami-dade county, marco rubio is from west miami. 75% of the vote in there. marco rubio with a healthy lead back home here. if you look at the rest of the state, it's quite bleak. i was talking to people earlier today who said, wolf, actually marco rubio a couple weeks back got warnings from friends that the florida operation wasn't in top shape, checked in his staff and told him not to worry. if the results keep up like this tonight, senator rubio not a happy camper. can he stay on if the numbers hold up and has a disappointing huge loss in his home state in the expectation is that will not be the case. if you flip over to the democratic side, this is filling in just as hillary clinton would have liked it. it's a big basket of delegates. she's winning just about everywhere. some bernie

south florida is more like the north east, central florida is that the midwest, and north florida is likely south. pensacola has been a tough area for democrats, where the caller lives. she will not do well in the panhandle. there it is about margins. just like south florida is about margins in the exactly reversed situation. south florida has to make up for the democratic perspective, some of the vote tallies in the panhandle. host: it has been noted by our florida hashat become less white. that tends to advantage democrats. when you see that in florida? you will certainly not see it in the panhandle. to some extent in self-worth, the mostly central florida, with people that are puerto rican and hispanic in general. a lot of people in the hospitality business -- a lot of people flock there for work with disney world, universal, and all of that. he will see that in two or three or four key counties in the middle of the state with orlando as the new kilis. nucleas. host: what about cuban-americans reliablyre no longer republican. -- the relations with cuba and in florida? guest: i thi

, spanish florida. the ambition of land had already been achieved. so we're okay for now. so into florida comes all these red sticks and hundreds, if not thousands, of african-american slaves. if you can imagine during the red stick war and the tumult of war, if you're a slave living somewhere along that frontier, it's dangerous. but your ability to find freedom in that chaos is slightly better than freedom outside of that chaos. and so they often joined up with indians, or they made their way behind enemy lines and they found their way into florida, and set up in what we call marooned communities, independent, separate, african-american-free communities and sometimes they joined seminole or creek or indian communities in florida. now, how do you suppose the governor of georgia, or alabama, or mississippi, or south carolina, or any of the voters in those states felt about the large influx of african-americans heading into florida? come on. someone's got to stand up and come to the camera. >> because the

, florida, florida. tonight we have breaking news tonight about an important new tracking survey of early voters and likely voters in florida. this is the first poll in florida that includes actual early voters. how they have voted. so this poll is giving us a picture of the early voting results in florida right now. and if we can get data like this for only one state, florida is the state we want. florida is once again the most important state on the electoral map. because democrats and republicans all agree that hillary clinton has alternative routes to an electoral college victory that do not have to include winning florida, but donald trump, donald trump has no other way. it is virtually impossible to win the electoral college for donald trump without florida's 29 electoral college votes. florida is do or die for the trump campaign. and donald trump's campaign schedule proves that. donald trump has three campaign events tomorrow in florida. hillary clinton was in florida today, but tomorrow she will

monster hurricane matthew bearing down on florida. you are looking live at florida. the deadly storm makes its way up the east coast killing 300 in haiti and devastating the caribbean. georgia, florida, north carolina under a state of emergency. with winds up to 120 miles per hour, more than 250,000 people are already without power in florida. a number only expected to grow with the potential of storm surges up to ten feet. >> florida governor, rick scott issuing a dire warn thag this is no joke. >> if you are in an evacuation zone, get out. this is not something you should take a chance with. time is running out. leave. there are no excuses. evacuate, evacuate, evacuate. >> you have to leave. there's going to be 20 feet of water in your house. it's scary. >> right now, the storm is a category 3 hovering near florida. >> we have live team cover achbage from florida to georgia. >> we talk about this cat 3, that's sustained winds of 120 miles per hour and gusts more than that. >> you have to remember to put it in perspective, katrina when it made land fall was a catego

if we can look at florida, florida is 1.2% difference, donald trump leading in the state of florida, 95% of the votes in, and it's too close to call. next, north carolina -- i should say ohio which we've been watching all night. this is a stunning number. 65% of all pre sengts are reporting it looks as if from a 10.5 point lead. it depends where the outstanding counties are, but we'll know soon enough. ohio is still too close to call. north carolina, 79% of all precincts reporting, donald trump is holding on to his lead. wake county, north carolina, still outstanding. that will be, most likely, a large hillary clinton difference, but he's winning there, and in the state of virginia, by .3% with precincts reporting, donald trump with a lead in virginia. the close tounts outside washington, d.c. which normally skew blue are yet to be tallied. ed rollins is here, dana perino is with us. what's the biggest surprise for you. >> if the spread is ten points in ohio -- he was favored to win ohio. clinton's polls must have been wrong earlier on, because they try to get that enthusiasm vote up

more than 200,000 florida residents have ady states of emergency have been declared in florida, georgia, and south carolina. the wind and rain picked up near port st. lucie overnight but the potential storm surge is the main concern. dangerous storm surge could raise water levels by 11 feet in some coastal areas and producing devastating flooding. greg angel, of our west palm beach station, wpec is in vero beach where flooding is a major morning, greg? >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. as you see just from our shot, a little bit of moving around. we are, right now, in the midst of hurricane force wind. we are now here in vero beach. in indian river county along the east coast. i want to show you behind me here. you see boats tied up here. this is part of the intracoastal. the boats are doing a little bit of bobbing. this is actually good because looking at the position of the storm out in the atlantic, we more targeted hit from this storm and the damage could have been far worse. however, the concern is far from over. let me walk over here and kind of show you. this is the intracoa

florida governor rick scott says the storm is a monster. there are no reports of deaths, though, or injuries in the bahamas, but there was extensive flooding. dozens of people trapped in their homes had to be rescued. >>> matthew has created a travel nightmare for millions. and others forced to change their planes because of cancelled flights. brian webb is here in new york with that part of the story. brian, good morning. >> reporter: this may be an east coast storm, but it's affecting travel plans across the country. for some, rebooking vacation plans. for others, a mad dash to get out of the way. >> we were the last flight out. but we were the last flight out. >> reporter: airports from miami to orlando on shut down as the storm moved north. more than 3,700 flights through tomorrow have already been cancelled. desperate travelers tried to book a flight. terry and curtis knapp were among the lucky. they made it home to texas. >> yo could just hear the people around you and behind you saying i barely made this flight and those that haven't

and spanish controlled florida. the war was fought in part to prevent slaves from fleeing into florida. florida state university is in tallahassee. the class is about 50 minutes. >> if we think back where we were last week, and the week before, the seminoles are forming in georgia. we have all this large context. we've talked about coal essence, civilization, migration, all of these different themes. we've even talked about this idea whether we thought the seminoles existed as a people and we talked about the red stick war. this is kind of these culminating trends that we're trying to work up to and today we'll look at what is often seen as the start of an american awareness that the seminoles exist and it gets a name called the first seminole war. what i'd like to do today is challenge a little bit what we normally think about the first seminole war. up here i put up in simple terms how other people have described it. first seminole war really quickly makes me think of first seminole war, we can think of first worl

zip-cars are coming ral florida. this morning-- orlando mayor buddy dyer will join the city in welcoming the new car-share program. zip-car has already been introduced at the university of central florida. it allows people to rent a car fast-- and for a short amount of time. you can check a car out -- with the swipe of a card. also-- keep an eye ut for special "zip- car only" parking spots around the city. some pro-sports team in florida receive state sales tax rebates... and now the daytona international speedway might be added to that list. florida state department determined the sports stadium qualified for the funding plan. the speedway is asking for 90 million dollars total-- that would be 3 million dollars over the course of 30 years. while the speedway is just one of the stadiums that qualified... state legislators still need to approve the plan by the end of next month. it's national signing day... and as usual... florida will be 9g a major role in what you see e college football land-scape next year. it's bi

the scene early this morning in vero beach, florida. heavy rain hit the area ahead of hurricane matthew's arrival. and a driver ran into trouble in jacksonville last night. the driver got stuck in a ditch full of water. people in the area banded together to help the driver get free. thankfully he is safe this morning. those are just a few of the videos coming in to our newsroom overnight. i'll continue to follow the back to you. >> tim, thank you. >> hurricane matthew is forcing some of florida's most popular destinations to shut down. disney has closed all its properties in florida, including disney world. sea world is closed too, along with universal studios, even the kennedy space center. the parks in florida are some of the most-visited tourist attractions in the world. >> before getting to florida, hurricane matthew hit the caribbean hard, especially overnight the death toll there rose to 283 people. officials warn that number will likely rise in the coming days as crews arrive in remote parts of the country. access to some areas i

florida's governor calling it a >> reporter: already, it has. matthew taking the lives of more than 100 people as it swept through haiti. the death toll there skyrock skyrocketing as flood waters recede. in the bahamas, the shore battered by damaging waves, rain and wind ripping vegetation, and the vacations of 3,000 tourists unable to escape. with the hurricane then headed for florida, residents thursday filling up the final stores are boarded up, and their shelves bare. a fight to get fuel. >> i saw two guys fighting at a gas station yesterday. yeah, it looked -- actually throwing punches. >> reporter: 1.5 million people ordered to evacuate, jamming roads, but not flying. time lapsed radar showing the normally busy florida skies clearing out as nearly 4,000 flights cancelled over the next two days. storm surge. where i am, it's expected to be 6-10 feet or more, meaning waterways like that behind me could rise and flooding is a concern for residents here. you can see the water is already rising. that is a dock behind me, just an hour or so ago,

hurricane matthew barreling towards florida. the brutal conditions intensifying as the eye of the storm taunts coastal cities. overnight violent winds along the beaches. gusts s above 70 miles per hour. the storm bringing the look and sound of fireworks in the form of downed power lines. thousands facing outages. officials fearing up to 3 million may end up in the dark. the national weather service saying matthew will be devastating. florida's governor making this dire warning. >> unfortunately, this is going to kill people. >> reporter: already it has. matthew taking the lives of more than 100 people as it swept the death toll there skyrocketing as the floodwaters recede, and matthew battering the bahamas before heading for florida. residents thursday preparing filling up those final sandbags. stores were boarded up. their shelves bare. more than 3 million people urged to evacuate here and in the carolinas. some refusing to go. >> everyone left town. everything is boarded up, and i'm just waiting. >> reporter: but many getting

florida, florida, florida, 90% of the vote is now in. >> it is surprising how close it is given the fact democrats and republicans in the state had thought that hillary clinton had a slight edge. we're still waiting for a lot of outstanding vote in southeastern florida which is a democratic stronghold. but he's up more than 100,000 votes as of now with 91% of the vote in. >> impressive lead but it could certainly come back depending on what happens in those heavily democratic counties in the southeast. >> and look, they not only spent money but they also sent their most prized resources, the candidates and both of them have been there to florida 25 times, holding 45 events. in one state. that tells you everything you need to know about why this is so close. >> anderson, night is turning out to be a real nail biter. >> it is. let's talk with gloria borger and david axelrod. as you look at florida, donald trump has a lead of some 100,000 votes. broward and palm beach. >> there are about 800,000. i was just speaking with a republican in the state, 800,000 to a million votes still out. they

first, we start with breaking news in florida. is in the bull's eye right now of hurricane matthew. it is barrelling in, threatening to trigger catastrophic flooding. >> that killer storm whipping up winds of 130 miles per hour, its powerful outer bands pounding the southeastern coast overnight and millions under evacuation orders bracing for up to 15 inches of rain and a storm surge as high as 11 feet. power lines exploding, and 100,000 people have already lost electricity. >> and that situation, no doubt, will get worse in the overnight hours. i want to show you what the radar is looking like right now with matthew spinning off the coast, accepting powerful rain bands all the way across the state. this storm is huge. 300 miles width. we'll get the latest now from abc's byron pitts. >> reporter: hurricane matthew, a demon in the dark, barrelling into florida's atlantic coast. winds up to 130 miles per hour. >> unfortunately, this is going to kill people. >> reporter: 3 million people urged to evacuate, clogging major highways up

east coast of florida. there you see the heaviest rain. the heavy rain bands extending now as far as the west coast of florida. some of them are heading towards the tampa area. almost the entire state of florida is feeling the effects of hurricane matthew. look at the buoy data. wave heights are around eight feet closer to the orlando area and near the beaches. wave height about seven feet with wind gusts 35 miles an hour. there you see the center about 100 miles away from land and the heavy rain bands moving in with a hurricane warning for much of the eastern half of florida. the winds are quickly increasing. west palm beach 35 mile an hour wind gusts. melbourne at 32. we can expect the winds to be increasing as we watch matthew get closer to florida over the next few hours. >> sheena, unfortunately the track is going right the way it looked over the last couple of days which is just a terrible solution for florida because of the way that the state is oriented. you can see that the center of the storm righ

recount in florida. a number of states are still too close to call including michigan, pennsylvania, new hampshire and wisconsin. >> you can catch some election coverage on www.wfla.com as these results continue to come in throughout the night. we will be here, our team is in the news center watching these results come in. >> you know what the best part is after tomorrow? no more commercials. of florida on this presidential election this year. >> what about the robocalls,

the outer bands have reached florida and extend into western florida.hese bands could also spawn tornadoes, especially through the night. so conditions for tornadoes to develop are -- will be in place later on tonight. i want to mention that even though this storm is up to 140 miles an hour right now, even if it were to weaken, say, to a category 3 storm, that's still winds up to around 129 miles per hour, so it is powerful no matter what, and it is forecast to weaken to a category 3 storm by the time it approaches jacksonville. keep in mind that's still 125 miles per hour winds and it's still just scraping the coastline. it would be better if it just made its way on shore so it could weaken further, but that's not the case in this situation. it's still continuing to do this loop, weakening throughout the entire loop but maybe even going back into the bahamas and approaching florida again as we go into the middle of next week. bizarre scenario there but it would be a much weaker storm. we're looking at that storm surge, 1 to 3 feet, in migthe mi area. t

rick scott, florida) we are

florida, illinois and north carolina. missouri still undecided. >> hillary clinton winning florida, north carolina, and ohio. illinois and missouri on the democratic side still too close to call. >> and another big win of the night governor john kasich winning his home state of ohio. >> donald trump declaring victory at his private club >> let's go live to mike signen tonight. >> good evening from the club in palm beach where it really just was an incredible night for donald trump. he clearly was the winner in taking all 99 sell gates in florida and then picking up illinois and north carolina as well. really, it was interesting to hear him speak tonight for once he was very gracious to marco rubio a man he has belittled if i can use that phrase, by calling him little marco repeatedly yet he was very kind tonight saying he has a great future ahead of him. but really what carried the day for donald trump here in florida was just a swell of voters like you don't normally see in g.o.p. primaries. a lot of those being new vote

florida goes beyond that. it is unlawful that the supreme court of florida has said to require four asked the jury the sentencing jury to provide a special verdict that in any way indicates what their quote input is on the sentencing factors. specific jury findings on aggravate her's without guidance of their affect on the sentence could unduly influence the trial judge's own determination of how to to sentence the defendant. the trial court alone must make detailed findings about the existence and weight of aggravating circumstances. >> is that post-ring? what's the date? >> yes this is post ring. they also held that ring didn't apply. it has no jury findings on which to rely. in fact the court also explains later in the decision in franklin that if florida bars special verdict precisely because requiring specific jury findings on aggravate her's without guidance about their affect would harm the juries independent determination. counsel my colleague on the other side says there would not be a statutory probl

in florida. marco rubio decided he would run for re-election at the last minute after losing the gop nomination. even in his home state primaries. he's facing democratic congressman patrick murphy. too close to call even with 80% of all precincts reporting. in new hampshire the republican senator kelly ayotte facing the democratic governor, maggie hassan. this one had been close but in the late going, kelly ayotte has made a big serge. only 6% of the vote are in. we're not able to call that. in pennsylvania, the republican senator pat toomey trying to hang onto his seat against the democrat katie mcginty. in illinois the republican senator mark kirk facing off duckworth. we have just called this. tammy duckworth is the winner in the state of illinois for the united states senate. now that is a pickup for democrats. that's one pickup on the night so far for democrats. tammy duckworth unseated mark kirk. not all together surprising. we sort of expected this but in a world where you need to pick up

[laughter] but my point is, we, florida, gets the blame. florida, oh, florida. but this is true of many of these stories. people like a guy decides to pleasure himself in a stuffed animal in the bedding d. of walmart -- department of walmart, he's not going to go to ohio to do that. [laughter] he's coming here, okay? we are ellis island for these people, okay? [laughter] so there's that. that's part of my defense. many of the people doing these things are not really from here. very few people are really from here, let's be honest. and there are some wonderful things about our state. we have terrific weather down here except during hurricane season which runs from june through the following june. [laughter] how many of you got taken in by matthew this year? i was holding out, because i'm so used to this. same drill, yeah, right, it's coming here. no, really, it could. you know, don't -- everybody be calm, but this could kill you. and so, you know, you're staying calm. finally, you know, they keep showing the cone and the thing, and even though you know it's not c

greater danger flooding or high winds in florida. >> well, what happens in florida now the worst of storm is getting into georgia. so we are this kind of thing, thunderstorms on eastern side can produce tornadic he activity the worst is now over, in florida, worst going into coastal georgia south carolina north carolina coming day florida is taking the brunt of it right now, believe it or not, the worst damage with this when they totally damage up may be further nor northeast coast beaches new jersey long island beaches as many hope to celebrate labor day, thank you. we will keep you updated. >> thank you bye-bye. >> big story for the markets labor department to release august jobs' report this morning, and added -- last month, employment rate to drop 4.8%, today's report could have a impact on the economy, making it more likely, that the federal reserve will raise short term interest rates, soon. >> if i looked at the day as i look at the economy the progress that is made, i judge that we are nearing full employment we should take advantage of the opportunity to remove some accommo

here is a live look at juno beach, florida. just south of jupiter, florida. not far from palm beach gardens. you can see the camera which is presumably tied down is actually shaking. we are talking winds that are up to 130 miles per hour and the storm hasn't made landfall yet. now on the move hovering close to florida and threatening a large stretch of the coast of florida. we got a live update earlier from randy in stewart, florida. now coverage 150 miles up the coast to daytona beach. >> the storm is getting closer and closer to florida by the minute. can you designed that? >> we just had a band of pretty strong rain moving through. this part of florida could see the worst that matthew has to offer. it closes in on the coast with winds rain and a storm surge of 6 to 9 feet. and the storm ravaged caribbean islands. 109 deaths after haiti took a direct hit. evacuation orders are in effect and hundreds of thousands have moved to higher ground. supplies and fuel are running out and so is time. the current track shows matthew conditioning up through the weekend.

florida, florida, florida as tim russert used to say. as florida goes, the election will go. >> well, the interesting thing about florida is whether donald trump will have lost florida because the empire strikes back, the latinos which have traditionally not come out to vote are suddenly coming out this time around. if the latinos make the difference in this margin in florida, one can make the argument he lost that election the day he came down that gold-plated elevator 15 months ago and started talking about a wall and doubling down on rhetoric that a lot of latinos found offensive to them. early voting shows they may have come out. they are disproportionately latino this year. >> tom, is that how your polls have looked? >> it's close. it's a toss-up. sean spicer was just saying republicans feel pretty good. it's still very early going there. i expect it's going to be really close in florida. >> morgan, from the republican side, sean spicer talking about a heavy turnout in the panhandle. >> which is still voting, by the way. >> sure. bu

who was that, florida? now, look, florida. what were mr. findlay's reading glasses doing in with my nylon panties? i don't know. maybe he was tryin' to read the washing instructions. look, mrs. findlay-- florida, you better get a grip on yourself. okay, okay. so i made one little mistake! now, look. florida, if you can't take a little constructive criticism, maybe-- listen, have you tried hormones? there you go again, blamin' everything on change of life. if phillip skinned his knee, you would holler "menopause." now, look. not having menopause is a very flimsy excuse. now, you have a job to do, florida, and i expect a day's work for a day's pay. and i give you a day's work! yes, but it takes you a week to do it! stop beatin' around the bush. why don't you come out and say it? 're trying to say? don't tell me what i'm trying to say, florida! well, you won't have to put up with me much longer, 'cause i'm quittin'. well, here we go again. all right, florida. you've had your little laugh. i'm sorry i yelled at you. i apologize. that is not why
