I think looking back, this is not only the end of this campaign, this is the end of her second bid for the presidency. some of the advisers and supporters and friends that i have seen walk through the doors here of this new yorker hotel have long faces on them for that reason. they have been with her since 2007, throughout this campaign. this is not anything that they ever expected would be happening on the day after the election. >> to say they are stunned is -- and overwhelmed is an understate...

>> and looking very good, lets see what happens. he was asked just after he voted who did you vote for and he joked it was a tough decision. >> he said its going to be an interesting day. i think thats absolutely an understatement of the day and the year. >> mike pence, his running mate, is getting set to vote in indianapolis right now. he just finished a bike ride. well take you back to indianapolis live to see that in a few moments. stay with us. >> our special coverage continues.

Presidential elections in what is the understatement of the century. it is impossible for donald trump to win the white house without florida and its 29 electoral votes. polls show it tight as a tick. lets bring in nick valencia. >> reporter: good morning, christine. the most crucial swing state with 29 electoral votes. yesterday, on sunday, early voting wrapped up with historic turn out in leon county. a democratic strong hold. heavily in favor of hillary clinton with 12,000 more people casting...

Bring the country together. are they that confident, julie pace, or is that just, shall we say, a public face? >> pretty confident. i spent about ten days with clinton through last week and they certainly felt like the incident with the fbi stalled her momentum but do feel like they maintained several clear paths to 270 electoral college votes, and you have seen hillary clinton in the last couple days looking a bit beyond the election. talking about how she does want to be a president for everyb...

We saw a huge swing, thats an understatement, in the abc poll, where we were down by 13 points about a week ago and now up one. rasmuss rasmussen, were tied and in certain swing states, its a dead heat. shes losing her lead in virginia. this is not looking good for hillary clinton. >> harold, what do you think about that? >> i think theres no doubt that the numbers have tightened. we remain confident in all the battlegrounds. i think theres a lot for mr. trump to overcome in the last few days. p...

Going to go to the polls and vote for hillary clinton. the clinton campaign wants those people to go immediately. and i think theres no question thats news like this can have a potentially depressive effect. we know for a fact that on saturday, for example, it did not necessarily in some of these states slow down early voting. but this story is just developing. its just getting started and i expect it to continue in a way that is really unfavorable to the clinton campaign at this point. we now h...

Going to have to figure out. although its not the big question. the big question is, are there any classified documents in there? and the latest ive heard, there was no suggestion on anyones part that theres any kind of withholding of evidence or obstruction of justice issues. >> quickly as i mentioned, harry reid accusing now possibly director comey of violating the hatch act. you have this letter from eric holder. youve been in dc a long time and watched this from the department of justice sid...

May be at work now. frankly, i no longer am worried about the russians. im worried about the director of the fbi. >> do you think, to your previous point, and quite frankly, i am not worried about putin or the russian, but i am worried about the drirector of the fbi. >> and do you think that to your previous point that there is awful research on both sides that could be dropped? >> well, i dont know. it is possible. this year is unusual and understatement year obviously, and i have no idea. >> n...
