Its a sprint to the finish for both president ial candidates on this last day before the election. President trump is scheduled to hold five rallies in four key battleground states. Former Vice President biden will be in two states today, ohio and pennsylvania. The long lines have not deterred an historic early turnout. Its estimated more than 94 million americans have already cast their ballots. Tensions are rising before election day. The fbi is investigating after a protrump convoy surrounded a Biden Campaign bus in texas and in North Carolina. Officers used pepper spray against a group of demonstrators that included children at a rally to promote voting. Police said they were blocking the roadway. Ben tracy is following the final countdown. Ben, good morning. Good morning. President trump will spend the entire day on the road holding those five rallies. His final one late tonight in michigan. Thats also where he held his final rally in 2016. And with the president still trailing in the polls he continues to sow doubts about the outcome of the political election. Well have a big victory. At his final rally in florida, the president sounded confident, surrounded by thousands of supporters who did not seem to mind that it stretched well past midnight. President trump held five rallies in five states sunday, and hes banking on a surge of support on election day. Wrat until you see whats going to happen with the great red wave. But he continues to demand to know a winner on Election Night. We should know the result of the election on november 3rd. The evening of november 3rd. Thats the way its been, and thats the way it should be. But thats not true. Votes have regularly been counted after election day. In 2016, nearly 10 of all votes were counted after the election. And this year its a scenario thats especially not guaranteed given record voter turnout in a record surge of mailin ballots due to the pandemic. More democrats tend to vote early, and those votes could take longer to count. Many states cant even start counting until election day. And while mr. Trump is now denying reports that he may declare victory before an official result is known that was a false report. Well look at what happens. Reporter hes signaling his campaign is ready to challenge Election Results. Were going to go in the night of, as soon as that election is over, were going in with our lawyers.

So i dont think were going to need to get to that point. President trump will now spend Election Night at the white house after scrapping plans for a matter at his nearby hotel. The president was not happy that washington, d. C. , limits indoor gatherings to 50 people. The white house sits on federal land so those rules dont apply here and the New York Times says the president plans to gather hundreds of people in the east room of the white house. Ben, thank you very much. The president is holding five rallies today, including some in coronavirus hot spots. And one target of the crowd scorn at last nights trump rally in florida was dr. Anthony fauci, the nations top Infectious Disease expert. President trump has not said what could happen to dr. Fauci if he wins a second term, but that may be changing. Ed okeefe is following both campaigns. Good morning to you. What did the president say . Well, good morning, tony. The president appeared to once again openly toy with the idea of firing dr. Anthony fauci because hes a career public servant. The president could only demote, maybe sideline him. But the criticism comes as the doctor has given another scathing interview where he criticizes the administrations response to the coronavirus. Wow, what a crowd. Reporter at the president s rally last night, the crowd broke into chants calling for dr. Anthony faucis removal. Fire fauci dont tell anybody but let me wait until a little bit after the election. Reporter the president cant technically fire the career public servant, but fauci has yet again angered the white house after he was asked by the Washington Post about the differences between the campaigns. Fauci said the plt resident is looking at the virus from the perspective of opening the country and the Biden Campaign is taking it seriously from a Public Health perspectivive. The white house called the comments unacceptable and called him partisan by praising the president s opponent. To beat the virus, weve first got to beat donald trump. Hes the virus. Reporter in philadelphia sunday, biden slammed President Trump for his response to the coronavirus which is disproportionately impacted communities of color. The Vice President hoping turnout can help him. We need every one of you to get out and vote on tuesday. My message to you is simple. Pennsylvania is critical to this election. Reporter but bidens road to the white house is not without tension. No wonder theres so much traffic. Reporter this video shows Trump Supporters in texas using trucks and cars to surround and follow a Biden Campaign bus over the weekend. It was traveling along interstate 35. And no one was hurt. But in a tweet, the president celebrated the drivers writing, in my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. And he was critical of the fbis decision to investigate the incident. People that are driving down a highway with an American Flag and a trump flag, right . Dont worry. Theyll be just fine. Theyre going to be just fine. Reporter important to note neither biden nor harris nor their spouses were on that bus. It was Biden Campaign staffers and volunteers and Texas Democratic officials told me this was an isolated incident. They are aware of nothing else like it happening in recent days in the lone star state. Today the president , as we mentioned, is visiting making five stops in four key battleground states. Joe biden begins in ohio. A state where his team sees lastminute hope of possibly turning it blue. Then he spends the rest of today in western pennsylvania, ending it at heinz field in pittsburgh alongside lady gaga. Guys, lest we forget because theres been viewer inquiry about this. There is just one day left until election day. How many days . One. Just one. I want a zero board tomorrow, ed. In a neighborhood nufull of g screens, we still go old school. I want to see a zero on the board tomorrow. Ill bring it for you tomorrow. The okeefe Countdown Calendar goes on. With the political heat rising, some are taking precautions for after the election. Our lead National CorrespondentDavid Begnaud is here in new york city. David, what are you seeing . We are in front of the famed Empire State Building which has already been boarded up on the ground level to stop people from breaking the glass and going in to loot. But in general here in new york city and elsewhere around the country, theres a concern that the tensions are rising. To the point where a lot of people feel unsafe. Police in graham, North Carolina, using pepper spray on what was said to be peaceful demonstrators. At least one officer was assaulted. The people wouldnt move so they used pepper spray. The governor said it was unacceptable. He called it voter suppression. To Beverly Hills now. Over the weekend, about 4,000 plowTrump Supporters gathered to rally in support of the president. Antitrump demonstrators showed up and clashed. Back here in the tristate, that being new york state, new jersey and connecticut, there were caravans of plrotrump supportes who blocked bl eed bridges stop people from getting in at one point. The backup was more than five miles in one area. Back in front of the Empire State Building, were expecting more businesses like this to be boarded up today. Even nordstrom said theyre boarding up all 350 of their locations around the country in advance of election day. Boy, david, thank you very much. Its a shame its come to that. Thank you very much. Joining us now is cbs news senior political analyst and 60 minutes correspondent John Dickerson. Hes in studio today. John, welcome. Were not relegating you to the kids table. Were just practicing social distancing. Were very glad youre here. And its good to be near you, gayle. All right. Were getting down to the nitty and the gritty. What does this tell us what does this final lap tell us about what each candidate is doing . The first thing is tells us, how important pennsylvania is. All the candidates will be there. Harris, pence, biden and trump will all be in pennsylvania. The turf, if you look at the battleground map, this is turf the president is defending. He won in 2016. His travel is all about the places hes trying to defend. Whats interesting is that one trip joe biden is taking into ohio. Thats basically biden going into the deeper redder part of the map. They must be seeing something there. Or they are fool hearty at the end. But thats quite interesting. And then the other important thing, theyre all trying to turn out the vote on election day. No persuasion going on. It will be interesting what plaum president obama does for the black vote in his travel. The president says we should know the results on Election Night and has told people hell declare victory if it looks like hes ahead. What do you make of the president saying that . I spent time talking to National Security officials in the administration and also secretaries of state and Election Officials in the states. And what they say is that when youve got an election where theyre boarding up windows in american cities, you want forces at all levels to be tamping things down, not to be calling the election system into question. So in that environment, you have perhaps the most vocal voice, the most the person with the biggest platform calling the American Election into question. So the plt resident is at odds h what his National Security officials are trying to do. You were in arizona recently and cbs news is calling it a tossup state. Arizona is an interesting state. It has Maricopa County at the center of all of our conversations on Election Night. The biggest county in arizona, the Fastest Growing county in the country. The biggest county donald trump won in 2016. And hes got so many supporters there. But theres also a rift in the party there. And the reason arizona is interesting, thats where the country is heading, to be more like a state like arizona. More diverse and so if donald trump can win there it means hes winning into america where its headed. This election is about who is the candidate of the future and who is the candidate of the past in part. And so arizona is interesting that way. Im really interested in east coast states that report their results early. Thats florida and North Carolina. Theyve been counting and tabulating, processing votes early. Both candidates spending their last hours in pennsylvania, hotly contested state. A key state. The absentee ballot deadline was extended there. Theres a legal battle over that. Whats the significance of that . The legal battle, it means the secretary of state in pennsylvania has said they will count those votes that come in after election day. The plbs the question is, counting them. Odding them to the total. Will they be added to a legal fight. Thats still a bit of a question mark. Theres supposed to be more guidance from the secretary of state today on what happens. It could mean those votes could be counted even if they come in later. The president saying the election has to be determined on election day. Thats never hand. So it just is another way in which pennsylvania will be a sticky state in addition to the fact it takes them a long time to count votes. Many people worry about november 3rd, the day after election, the thinking is this country is going to be deeply divided. It already is. What do you think each candidate needs to do to unite the country . The candidate needs to unite the country. Speak to the people who are not in your base. This is a key quality of the president to understand their needs, to hear them and say, i hear you. And not add just a bunch of gasoline to the floor that can be ignited with people whose emotions are running high. John, thank you. Side note. John and i will be part of the cbs news team bringing you the Election Results in a primetime special tomorrow night. Cbs news 2020, Election Night, america decides. Norah odonnell is leading the coverage. Hell be joining here along with Margaret Brennan and ed okeefe at 6 30 eastern here on cbs. Well be on the air as long as it takes. The u. S.
