out that he sweeps these battleground states, that certainly holds the key for him to flip a michigan or minnesota. >> and michigan and minnesota are not too early to call, they're both too close to call right now. >> look, there's no question that they're nervously optimistic at trump tower. you have a lot of sweat on the brow at clinton campaign headquarters right now. this was not what they were expecting. they were expecting, i think, a pretty early night, but they're looking at leads in these states that are pretty substantial. you have for trump with a lot of vote coming in. >> howard fineman has been talking to the clinton camp here in new york and let us know that he has some reporting on that front. howard? >> yeah, brian, earlier today and just a few hours ago, the clinton people were saying that they expected to win florida by five points. that was the internal talk. that's obviously not happening. and, you know, my role at huff post is to cover politics, but also to help run our international editions. we have 16 of them. and around the world, people have been looking at us in america

his running mate mike pence joins trump in new hampshire and michigan after a solo stop in michigan, minnesota and pennsylvania. hillary clinton started her day in pittsburgh. she also campaigns in michigan and north carolina. here's what she told supporters at that pittsburgh rally just a little while ago. >> -- think about what we are capable of doing together. the kind of future that we can create if we search for and find common ground. and it is thrilling to have traveled across our country to see the hopefulness, to talk about the positive changes that are occurring. to really see america at its best. >> her running mate, tim kaine, campaigns in north carolina and florida. president obama, meanwhile, joins hillary clinton later tonight in philadelphia after a rally in ann arbor, michigan. we just saw him there. he was introduced by hillary clinton's daughter chelsea. president obama was nostalgic while looking ahead. >> -- i'm feeling a little sentimental, this is going to be my last -- probably my last day of campaigning for a while. >> people in '08 decided to choose hope over fear. an

the midwest was such a place that works well for donald trump why not spend more time in michigan and minnesota? effort then nevada and colorado, that are less likely? >> let me hit that point,?? qui. underground in the operation, get the votes out efforts and all of that. we have massive organizations in michigan and wisconsin twofpl of the best political parties. these are two -- they're very good ob rations. we have spent millions and millions of dollars in. you are also seeing it and we believe that pennsylvania and michigan, wisconsin could quickly move onto our board. >> dickerson: you mentioned donald trump is a different candidate appealing to different voters. the early vote in nevada and florida he's driving away the voters you talked about attracting after the 2012 election. they vote. you can see it's happening from the data. >> dickerson: do you think he will do better with latinos then people think? >> i think he will do better than people think. in florida, today, we are 7000 ballots down. four years ago we were 104 balance on doubts. all of thisxd these are great anecdotes. the

was suppose to be in wisconsin now in michigan and in minnesota. is that a crazy last minute genius or a sign of spreading himself too thin? how do you read it. >> two things. going to feeling like 2012. i feel like we are in a deja vu moment. a time machine and back to 2012. we're talking about the same things we did at this point in 2012. back then can mitt romney win driving up votes among white voters and growing that base. we are litigating that again. we said can mitt romney tip a years, at the last minute with no effort or on the ground work there. in 2012 it was pennsylvania this. year it's michigan. so, we know what the answer was in 2012. this is, it?? looks -- it looks like we're heading down the same path in 2016. i think your point that you raise to reince priebus was the right question. it makes perfect sense that michigan and pennsylvania wo if you win with white working class voters only that's where you go. that's where you invest early by finding the voters, registering them, getting them out. not going in with 48 hours to go. >>

it's not a criticism but a geographical observation in new mexico, michigan, minnesota, all reliably blue state where is he was trailing. that's where we started our conversation with former speaker of the house newt gingrich campaigning for trump. it suggests he doesn't have a clear path to opposite. the polling shifts and he is up six points in the l.a. times poll this morning. >> that's always been a good poll for him. >> yes, and it was also a very accurate poll in 2012. the idea of blue states and red states are dependent on the next election. they start changing and go from blue to whatever. >> his momentum is certainly undeniable. but there is the fact that more and more states have more and more early voting. our mail-in ballot system, no proof just an allegation that it's crooked. is that fair? >> it's not fair but it's a crucial thing across the country, and tell make a difference in a close election. >> last time you were here with brandon righty man you said this with donald trump. >> i think he has the biggest upside and biggest down side of any candidate i have ever see

he's heading into minnesota and michigan. that's not a traditional play. what is going on?ey see tightening in both states. they see michigan and minnesota possible hedges for virginia. they have a stop in minnesota. the minnesota event advertised 24 hours ago, it has 20,000rsvps. >> dickerson: nancy, what does the clinton campaign make of this. are they worried, she is going and the president are going? >> they are worried. they see the tightening poles and donald trump making a play for michigan. they're not just sending secretary clinton but bill clinton and president obama as well. there are fewer and fewer states that it makes sense to send hillary clinton. they don't want to send her to states where they have done the bulk of voting by early voting. she is going to states in the closing days where people vote primarily on election day like here in pennsylvania, new hampshire and michigan. >> dickerson: who is she trying to turn out in pennsylvania is who should we watch for on tuesday? >> she needs to run up the score here in philadelphia, john, and the surrounding su

democratic dna like minnesota, michigan, pennsylvania, donald trump may get one of those. problem is that he may need two or three of those to get to the map. >> that's one of the things that clinton campaign is smiling about. throw spaghetti on the wall and see what stucks. honesty at the end of the campaign here saying we're happy's going to minnesota, sioux city, iowa, and not staying in michigan. it may have been smarter for him to barnstorm michigan. they haven't voted yet. for all the early voting, michigan is on election day. it is a game day thing. he is going back grand rapids on monday night. >> it's midnight, though, right? >> i was talking about this yesterday. monday night at 11:00. his final rally was supposed to be with sean hannity. i don't know if he could get through the senate. that was supposed to be the big final event. they added michigan in part because secretary clint sbent president will be in michigan. they're trying to take over the local news. it is throwing spaghetti at the wall to a degree. they have the clinton campaign a little nervous. >> n

in four states, michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania and wisconsin, those who vote early have the right to change their vote on or before election day. so far at least 1.4 million people have voted in those states. given the twists and turns of this campaign more than a few might be giving that option some thought... jonathan hunt, fox news.>> in national news, investigators are still trying to find out what caused tuesday morning's deadly bus crash in maryland. they will be looking at recording equipment, an autopsy and interviewing a survivor to help explain what happened. investigators want to look at the autopsy to see if the school bus the school bus slammed into the commuter bus in baltimore early tuesday, killing both drivers and four passengers. 10 other people were hurt. an expensive sports car reduced to scrap, following a violent crash in los angeles. as you can see the entire front of that neon-green mclaren is gone! witnesses said the mclaren was going 60 miles an hour when it crashed into an audi. both drivers were taken to the hospital. one suffered serious injuries, the

michigan. he won minnesota. by eight points why. bother going there? not focus energy on a state like michigan? there are two strategies could you end up doing. you could flood the zone the way donald trump is doing it. reminds me of 1996's bob dole strategy. bob dole lost by several percentage points in that '96 election. you concentrate on one state. john kerry tried to do that in ohio in 2004. here is the danger for donald trump as he is crisscrossing across the country. if hillary clinton just wins florida or say she ends up winning north carolina, it's done. that is not only does donald trump have to put one of these other states on, he has to be able to win one of these even stephen contests that could go either way on election night. they are putting so much to flood the zone, go to so many different places they have to keep their guard up in florida or north carolina where it's close. >> fred, when you look at the battleground map and based on the polls, what should we look at as polling places that will be close to give you an idea of the resul

we have three states still remaining to call, michigan, minnesota also, new hampshire. maine, also, we did just call maine. but one interesting detail about the state of maine. donald trump will one one electoral vote in the state of maine. the first republican to win an electoral vote in new england since 2000, that is because it's based on congressional districts. some other information we want to give you right now, hillary clinton is at 218 electoral votes. 289 for trump. no republican has won pennsylvania since 1988. no republican has won wisconsin since ronald reagan couldn't even go there after the convention. but hillary clinton did win some states including california and virginia, bringing her total to 19. dramatically fewer than expected. one of the big surprises alisyn brought up say little bit ago, donald trump they had coattails, republicans, they will keep control of the senate. they don't even need mike pence to break a tie. as for the house of representatives, as of right now, this is where the balance of power stands, republicans easily maintaining con

so if you live here or in michigan minnesota, those four places, you can change your vote to donald trump. >> about 28 million people have already voted, and the race is now in a dead heat with the election just six days away. >> you see hillary clinton there. she was hitting hard on trump on everything from his treatment of women to his tax returns. she's hoping to shift attention plaguing her campaign. it's your voice, your vote. >> reporter: hillary clinton is determined to do one thing, put the focus back on donald trump. >> he sure has spent a lot of time demeaning, degrading, insulting, and assaulting women. >> reporter: and right there with her to deliver this blistering assault? >> he housekeeping, means eating machine. >> reporter: the former beauty queen insulted because of her weight. >> i mean, really, can we just stop for a minute and reflect on the absurdity of donald trump by default with this universe? >> reporter: no mention of those e-mails or the fbi's investigation. instead, clinton unleashing an all-out assault on her opponent's character. in her latest ad, she finall

and number two, he has to either get that pennsylvania, minnesota, michigan, wisconsin, it is a tough road to hoe for any republican. >> yeah. sean, i'm all over the place. i was in ohio all over today. 12 stops in ohio. i'm in minneapolis. i'll be in wisconsin tomorrow. the turn out in incredible. we will do it. no question. people are sick of this nonsense. people are sick of the corruption. people want our country back. they want the country to be vibrant again. we are doing everything wrong. our career politicians are flushing the country down the drain. we're going to win this, sean. we are absolutely going to win. >> if your dad doesn't win this country will be paralyzed, zero progress. we will continue the decline. a mitigated disaster in light of tonight's news. eric, thank you. see you soon. >> thank you, sean. >> more on tonight's breaking news. new details about the fbi investigations, plural, into hillary clinton's e-mail server and family foundation. newt gingrich weighs in. later, larry eld earn sheriff david clarke as we roll along. >> insult women. >> all talk. >> here

he held rallies in minnesota and michigan. minnesota hasn't supported a republican candidate since 1972 and michigan since 1988. earlier today, trump weighed in on the clinton email controversy. trump taking part in a five-state blitz today. he just wrapped up a speech in pennsylvania and has one planned for virginia. meanwhile--hillar y clinton--appearing in battleground pennsylvania and ohio today. she attended a church service in philadelphia this morning. joining her was new jersey senator corey booker. clinton--using star power in the final days of the election james and stevie wonder hitting the campaign trail. president obama returned to florida today--- on the final day of early voting in the state. the president spoke at a baseball stadium near orlando. he told the audience the race will be over if hillary clinton wins florida. stevie wonder performed a concert in support of clinton at that same stadium earlier today. mike pence was back in the tar heel state today--- holding a rally in hickory. the g-o-p vice presidential nomi

michigan, pennsylvania, minnesota. minnesota is a state that hasn't voted republican since 1972. when i look at the new nbc poll out right now, that has hillary clinton up four, why does it make sense for donald trump to be in these blue states? >> minnesota makes no sense whatsoever. he bailed out of wisconsin here when somebody in his campaign realized that the rally that he had scheduled for later today, with paul ryan, that would have been quite a rally, was actually scheduled opposite a green bay packer game. which tells you a little bit about -- a little bit about what is going on in this campaign. did not occur to anybody that the worst possible thing you could do would be to come to wisconsin in the middle of a packer game. that tells me that a lot of this stuff is just throwing stuff up against the wall. this is a tightening race, no question about it. given the -- i guess the disparity in the ground game, in the turnout, and the digital campaigns, between these two campaigns, i think that, you know, if it is a coin flip in these states, the advantage has got to go to hi

the candidates are set to make stops in florida and in north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, minnesota, and, of course, in new hampshire. emily: hillary clinton and tim kaine pushing just as hard today. they'll get big help in new england. the eyeopener's erika tarantal is tracking the democrats this morning. erika. erika: the clinton camp getting a boost from the hampshire. the democrats zeroing in on battleground states in these final hours, pennsylvania, michigan, north carolina, florida, virginia all on their list. clinton urged supporters not just to cheer but to vote. >> when your kids and grandkids ask you what you did in 2016, when everything was on the line, i hope you're able to say you voted, you voted stronger, fairer america. erika: she was joined by gold star father khizr khan whose son was killed in iraq and has become a fierce clinton supporter. recent polls have shown clinton inching ahead of trump but the only polls that matter will be open tomorrow. randy: thank you. this is what the abc news electoral map projection looks least 275 electoral votes. that's more than

si vives aquÍ, en michigan, pennsylvania o minnesota, en esos lugares puede cambiar su voto y vamos hacer, la respuesta es sÍ aunque de forma parcial. en estados unidos hay 7 estados que permiten que se voten hasta 3 veces, el estado en donde Él estaba en wisconsin permite que un ciudadano vote 3 veces. la gente estÁ decepcionada, hay nueva informaciÓn por los nuevos correos de hillary clinton, puede arrepentirse de su voto. no significa que su voto vaya a contar 2 o 3 veces, su voto contarÁ solamente una vez. wisconsin, minnesota, michigan, pennsylvania y mississippi, los procedimientos son complicados y diferentes en cada estado. se tiene que identificar, se localiza el voto, se anula, se rompe y luego se vuelve a votar. javier: muchÍsimas gracias, te dejamos trabajar. lo siguiente tiene que ver con el alcohol, no consumÍa alcohol ni drogas, tampoco fumaba. carolina: su salud dice que era ideal, una hepatitis misteriosa le daÑÓ el hÍgado. javier: contrajo la enfermedad por el excesivo consumo de bebidas energÉticas. de vÍa entre cuatro a cinco refrescos estimulantes para soportar su tra

he was also in iowa and traditional blue tatestates, minnesota and michigan. s focus on reliably blue territory in minnesota and michigan. why is trump spending time there? >> can i ask you the question? look, i don't mean to joke about it. he needs states. they're looking at the map and getting calls from supporters in the states saying we think the polls are closer so they're going. he's having a hard time getting to 270. even if he wins the toss up states, wins florida, ohio, gets him to the 250s or 260s. how do you get to the finish line? we go back to 1980 on the map. i'd have to go to 19d72 for a republican winning minnesota. i'll circle minnesota here in case you don't notice. it was won by a democrat. 1984, notice anything? only one state. walter mondale's home state, to be fair. it hasn't been won by a republican since 1972. it's usually not close. why is donald trump going there? it is ten electoral votes. he is hoping he can -- lightning will strike as he goes through the states. michigan is 16. if you can't win north carolina, you have to counter it

including michigan, pennsylvania, minnesota. his trip to minnesota and a lot of republicans thought that he was making a mistake by not emphasizing more on florida and ohio, north carolina, pennsylvania. well, he is actually having a slight lead in pennsylvania. and he has pulled off the other victories. and now on the upper industrial midwest, in the case of minnesota, it hasn't gone republican and 44 years. in the case of michigan, it hasn't gone republicans since they talk about those democrats, it's time to stop talking about trump democrats. because he had to have gotten a lot of independence, undecided, and some democrats. >> he strongly did. and live at the donald trump headquarters, we go back there with any news that might warrant. if you mention arizona, certainly a state that has been leaning red, arizona is leaving red with its 11 electoral votes. the donald trump with a lead there. now reporting in minutes -- minnesota. and hillary clinton with 45.7% of the votes, it is still too close to call. let's go live now to

state, if you're in florida, if you're in ohio, if you're in iowa, pennsylvania, wisconsin, minnesota, michigan, colorado, new mexico, nevada, if you're in maine's second congressional district, north carolina, we need you. it's up to you. you can decide tomorrow to save america from the declining state it is in and stop this downward spiral. that's what this election is about. tomorrow night if hillary clinton is elected, those who didn't support trump voted for hillary or never trumper, i'm telling you right now, you own her supreme court, you own her unvetted refugees, you own her tax increases, you own her open borders, you own obamacare and you own her energy independence. you will own it. all right. we got a lot coming up tonight. trump takes his message to a lot of swing states. today laura ingraham is here with reaction. ivanka, don jr. and tiffany will be here tonight. all of that plus rudy giuliani as we continue this election eve.

a few of the gray states you see there, minnesota and michigan, specifically, have already declared red by other media outlets. >> president-elect trump addressed the nation just before 3:00 this morning after sweeping most of the country's battleground states. he acknowledged the deep divide in our country. hear what he had to say about that coming up in just a moment. >>> first, let's get an update on your forecast. forecast. no surprise here, right, in the weather department. we've been tracking this for quite a while. there it is. some light rain. beginning to see sprinkles. i don't think it'll be a big deal as far as the rain fall. what will be, will be the cloud cover. it will be a lot of it. so that will keep our temperatures back in the upper 70s and that blanket of clouds not allowed for temperatures to be as cool as we were this time yesterday. low to mid 60s. we'll climb up into the upper 70s. this is a brief interruption in our nice weather of late chl sunshine heading into tomorrow. we'll detail that, the cooler temperatures, the lower humidity heading into next weekend in

trump will go to michigan and minnesota instead, but ryan brushed off the change. im not going to armchair quarterback their campaign decisions. i think hes going to minnesota also theyre going to a lot of different states that theyre close in. plus, mike pence is here in wisconsin today this week, pence said ryan should remain speaker -- then heaped praise on him in front of a friendy crowd saturday. paul ryan is one of the great conservative leaders in the united states of america, and wisconsin should be proud in turn, ryan blasted hillary clinton for having "scandal after scandal." but when this chant started... crowd: lock her up!ryan pivoted away. i got another idea. heres an idea. lets make sure she never becomes president cheers trump, though, is running out of time to get the full support of apprehensive republican voters in the milwaukee suburbs that are critical to his chances. thats what we were trying to do here with the pence rally — try to get everybody to come home. get republicans to unify. and look at the consequences, the stakes of this ele

in michigan, even in minnesota in pennsylvania. very few places.a broader range of counties in 2012. and donald trump was able to either flip them or narrow the democratic margins. look at north carolina. in north carolina she did what she wanted to do, look at wade and mecklenburg, raleigh, the two biggest counties. she won them by 100,000 votes than president obama won them in 2012. there the white voters consolidated against donald trump. we saw that in the travel schedule, chris, every week we saw president obama or hillary clinton or in raleigh. and donald trump in north carolina. and a coalition of restoration of voters who are uneasy with the economic and cultural and d demographic changes in the country. it worth noting before the evening is over, she may be ahead in the popular vote. we have occasion where the democratic party would have won the popular vote in six of the past seven presidential elections and will control nothing. not the senate, the house or supreme court. that would be an extraordinary kind of statement of where the narr

so they were looking for backstop states and michigan, minnesota and wisconsin is where they chose becausesaw in polling data that that part of the country was tightening. >> all right. dana? >> carl, we've made a lot of comments over the past several months about organization and whether the trump campaign had enough of it. my sense is that the rnc has not gotten enough credit over the last four years no matter who was going to be the nominee and that's paying off in some states, even my home state of colorado. >> yes, that's what trump is relying on. trump doesn't have a separate campaign organization. he's piggybacking off the rnc. there was some evidence in the polls in the last few days that the senate may stay in the hands of the republican and the rnc has done a good job. we've beefed up their big data in media presence and may not rival hillary clinton per se but far more superior to 2012 when they had a lot of problems. there's been some complaints about voting booths not working but that's normal. >> brace yourself, carl. >> great to see you. i love the hilton. be sure to check o

you look at this, minnesota, michigan might come back, trump is ahead there now. be the toughest thing for her to pull off. >> and then, i've been talking about new hampshire all night long. i thought she's going to have to win there to do this. >> what is your thought now? you came into the night confident. >> yes. no. i'm surprised and, yeah. you know? never -- i thought -- >> are heads exploding of people you're talking to? what's happening? >> no. i think most people, it wasn't they thought that she was going to blow him out or anything, but they thought there was no path for her, very tough for him to get to 270. and with the flaws and everything else, they thought that is going, i thought, too. >> she's now -- she's now where we thought he was. >> right. >> that is the shock. it's not shah she doesn't have a path to 270. she's now the one to have to thread the needle. and when you look at the spaces and counties out, and you look at what is going on, particularly in minnesota that may be the place, if she doesn't make it it may be because of minnesota. >> ye

michigan, minnesota and new hampshire. in michigan, it's a 0.3 differential. in minnesota, it's a one-point differenceal. and in minnesota a 0.1 differential. they are so close, that, again, we're not going to call them. john berman, does it matter if all three were to break for hillary clinton, does the race change? >> no. donald trump has 289 electoral votes. you start to say, this looks like a mandate. this looks like a size of victory that -- >> even though the popular vote may be split? >> the popular vote may go to hillary clinton. but in this country we go by the electoral college and the similarities between his win and barack obama's win especially in 2012 will be great. >> john, last night hillary clinton did not come to the podium, john podesta came. she is still processing, obviously, what happened and who could blame her? so many people are still processing and figuring out. so many democrats are despondent this morning. and the pundits and the pollsters did not prepare them for this. what went so wrong? >> that's the forensic that is going to need

those states are, minnesota, michigan, minnesota, mitch grab, pennsylvania and wisconsin.ning me now to help make sense of all going on. former ray gawn white house political director ed rollins. washington times. online opinion editor. monica crowley. it's great to have you both here. this charge coming from harry reid. i know he is a vi lerks west coast, venald i know's a -- i know he's a vile, venal nasty piece of business. >> the hatch act was put in place for people who are presidential appointees, what have you, they can't actively play politics. it has nothing to do with doing your job. comey is doing this job. if you are a presidential apoints toee you are -- if you are a presidential appointee you are exempt. lou: i don't want to get too deep in the woods here. his staff says he was back into the charge that there is a preliminary inquiry into paul manafort and others associated with the trump campaign doing business with russia. what is this? >> it's called dirty tricks in the waning days of a presidential campaign. every four years you get the mudslinging back a

carolina or florida are our hearts going to sink in the trump cam or do you think you can flip a michigan or minnesotaake up for that. >> michigan is a dead heat. pennsylvania is a dead heat. there is polling yesterday that said mr. trump was leading in both states. you look at new hampshire where mr. trump was last night getting the support of tom brady and bill belichik. there are a number of paths for in trump top get to 270. i think he will run past that and do better in the electoral count. but we are excited about how things look. martha: a lot of people look at the last few weeks and say they wish that's the campaign he had run the last several months. >> as everyone knows, mr. trump is a closer. martha: we expect him to vote at 10:00 this morning and we look forward to taking that live. bill: up and down the east coast, there are millions of americans making their voices heard it's been a rough and tumble campaign. it's clearly had its own personality. sometimes split personalities. can either candidate unite the country? fair and balanced debate with rich lowry and juan williams on deck next.

look at this, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire and michigan. you know, donald trump 15,000 votes ahead. 42,000 votes for hillary clinton in minnesota. and if we can look at new hampshire, this is a big wow. new hampshire just 307 votes separate the two. we're not going to call these races any time soon. we're going to wait for the secretaries of state of these states to tell us what happened because they don't change the outcome here. donald trump is the president-elect. hillary clinton with only 218 electoral votes. the big story the blue wall, her blue wall crumbled. donald trump picked up wins in wisconsin and pennsylvania. no republican has won in pennsylvania since 1988 and no republicans won in wisconsin since ronald reagan. hillary clinton didn't even go there after the convention. they thought they had it in the bag. one of the other big surprises in the slew of surprises overnight, donald trump had coat tails for hebs of congress. republicans will keep control of the senate. they have at least 51 seats. mike pence doesn't need to break

>> i would argue michigan and pennsylvania are more likely targets for trump than minnesota when lookinging. the fact of the matter is, even if donald trump runs the table on the real toss up states, north carolina, florida, ohio and nevada, he still would need to win one of these really difficult states, pennsylvania, michigan, minnesota. it's just very much an outside chance. they need to find somewhere. they need to put more points on the board. >> it may be rhetorical. the message to supporters is we are in it to win it. get to the polls. >> interesting, there are not sending people to help the down ballot people. i mean there isn't -- >> what does that mean? >> there's no senate race. >> is that a mistake in your view if you have a donald trump who wins? he has to mend fences. he has splintered lots of things with the gop. if you are going to be in the white house, you have to be able to coordinate and collaborate with those on the hill. >> i say their campaign would say to us, we have to win the election, first. i would ask everybody, what is the opposite of coat tails? the thing a

trump mentioned michigan, minnesota, iowa, new hampshire, north carolina. first off, all those states would not be enough. he would still need to win florida, but put that aside, where does he stand in those six states. >> let's first remind you where our national poll of polls is right now, jake. 46% to 42%, a four-point edge for hillary clinton averaging all those national polls that came out today. but you're right, let's look at some of the states he mentioned. michigan, just to show you the latest polling out of michigan, a four-point lead for hillary clinton. 42% to 38%. he also mentioned new hampshire. let's take a look at the latest poll in new hampshire. in fact, we have a poll of polls because a lot of new hampshire polls came out. jake, look at this. 44% for clinton. 41% for trump. a three-point edge for hillary clinton in our poll of polls. let's get that out of there. let's take a look in north carolina. he'd also mentioned north carolina. let's look at our poll of polls here. 45% to 43%. a slight clinton edge. now, he could be cherry picking h

michigan, minnesota and all thez seats are up. they are places that voted much more for trump.sota did not go red, but the other states did go for him than you would normally think. this will be tougher than we might have imagined. >> they are going to have to figure out what they will be doing quickly as we know elections start early and we are two years away from the mid-terms. >> about nine months. >> thank you so much. i can't wait. >> nice to see you. >> key names on donald trump's list of possible cabinet picks for defense and national security roles. up next, we will headline to the pentagon for a look at strong contention to lead the nearly three million military and civil knowian personnel. a major issue president-elect will have to face when he takes office. the fighting in syria. they confirm multiple hospitals have been struck in aleppo. many victims are believed to be children. richard angle will have an update on the raids and the u.s. response. life and death. for partners in health, time is life. we have 18,000 people around the world. the microsoft cloud helps

michigan. >> minnesota. >> well, we don't have enough republican voters to win an election. we have to win independents. we have to win women. we have to win hispanics. we have to win minorities. we need to really rethink what this party stands for and really start selling it on national elections. trying to get the fbi director to be on your side, on either side, this is not what american -- >> that is not what i said -- >> this is what you're saying, he's saying he's in it to turn the tables -- >> that's what i heard. >> he came out and said she was cleared. he needed to correct that wrong. now the tables are even. >> the tables are -- >> how do you go to -- >> if hillary clinton -- >> let's do this, let's move to a different subject, see if we can do one at a time on this one. >> good luck. >> alex burn, you're in a save undisclosed location. >> you're in a coat closet with a handy cam. >> the clinton campaign clearly wants to talk about russia. robbie mook yesterday all but called the conference call to say. but do you think the clinton campaign is successfully muddying

these other states they are talking about, colorado, michigan, minnesota, wisconsin, new mexico -- maybebut in the end, north carolina, nevada, those are the states that will be the toughest for him to win and eventually and his hopes. john: if that is the case, we will really have a love science that is going to go out the window the campaigns of hillary . clinton and donald trump could hardly have been more different when to substance and style. the same held true when they offered their final final closing arguments. over the weekend the clinton , campaign released a minute long video is a katy perry song that we are all sick of by now. on monday night, an estimated 20 million viewers of the voice on nbc will hear what is tactically a two-minute address to the nation. is not just my name and my opponents name on the ballot -- ballot it is the kind of country we want for our children and grandchildren. is america dark and divisive or hopeful and inclusive? our core values are being tested in the selection but everywhere i go people are refused to be defined by fear and division. an op-
