Just cast his vote. There is so much at stake. Who will we be as a country . Which direction will we go . Lets begin with Cnns Phil Mattingly live in raleigh, North Carolina. Thats a big state today. Reporter yeah, no question about it. A key battleground and a crucial tossup, according to both campaigns. Guys, 18 months of rallies, of round table, of debates, ending here in raleigh, North Carolina, for Hillary Clinton. A big rally, a lot of millennials, crucial to that North Carolina group. Big questions, will history be made tonight . Hillary clinton back home in new york after crisscrossing the country on her final day of campaigning, hoping to make history tonight. Our core values are being tested in this election, but my faith in our future has never been stronger. Reporter appealing to voters at a midnight rally in raleigh, North Carolina. Flanked by jon bon jovi and lady gaga. There is no reason why americas best days are not ahead of us. Reporter tens of thousands gathered outside philadelphias Independence Hall for her largest rally of the campaign. President obama and the first lady rallying voters for clinton. Are you fired up . Are you ready to go . Reporter and pleading with them to protect their legacy. Im also emotional because in many ways speaking here tonight is perhaps the last and most important thing that i can do for my country as first lady. I am betting that tomorrow you will reject fear and youll choose hope. Reporter obama symbolically passing the torch, pulling out clintons step stool for her to speak. Clinton zeroing in on her closing argument. Every issue you care about is on that ballot. Reporter trying to move past this divisive campaign. We have to bridge the divides in our country. I regret deeply how angry the tone of the campaign became. Reporter a deliberate move, aides tell cnn, to prepare for what happens next should she win tonight. Governing tomorrow night this election will end, but i want you to understand our Work Together will be just beginning. Reporter guys, weeks and months of packed schedules. Let me tell you whats on the schedule today. Youre looking at what tim kaine is doing right now. Thats it. Theres nothing else public for Hillary Clinton or for tim kaine for that matter. The field staff hard at work getting out the vote, trying to make sure they raise their margins on election day. For the most part, its the candidate by themselves with their closest advisers writing two speeches, according to aides, one concession, one victory. Other than that, alone with their thoughts. Alisyn . Phil, thank you for all of that. So donald trump last night hitting many of the same themes that hes been hitting for more than a year. He slammed clinton, the washington establishment, and the media. Trump says its time for the working class to strike back. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty is live at trump tower in new york. Reporter thats right. We certainly saw vintage donald trump on his last day on the campaign trail. Trump only landing a few hours ago back here in new york after he made that drive final push, campaigning well past 1 00 a. M. This morning in michigan. Trump saying it certainly has been a long journey for him and now 511 days after that journey first started here at trump tower, it comes down to this. Its now officially tuesday, november 8th. Reporter donald trump pulling off one final campaign frenzy. Today is our independence day. Today the american working class is going to strike back. Reporter sprinting to the finish with a rousing midnight speech in grand rapids, michigan, blitzing through five states in the final 24 hours. I thought New Hampshire was going to be my last speech, and i heard that crooked Hillary Clinton was coming to michigan. I said, lets follow it up. Reporter trump knocking clintons celebrity supporters. We dont need jayz or beyonce. We dont need john bon jovi. We dont need lady gaga. Reporter and trying to project confidence. Today were going to win the great state of michigan, and we are going to win back the white house. Reporter the republican candidate even reflective in his final campaign rally. Its almost hard to believe. We started a year and a half ago. We started with 17 very talented people. Now we have one flawed candidate left to beat. Reporter earlier trump talking up a celebrity friend of his own, new England Patriots quarterback tom brady. He called today, and he said, donald, i support you, youre my friend, and i voted for you. Reporter but brady hasnt publicly endorsed trump, and yesterday he denied having cast his ballot on a boston radio show. No, i havent voted yet. Reporter and trump will be casting his vote later today here in new york city. Hell be watching some of the returns, spending some time here with family, friends, and staff at trump tower. At some point then hell move over to his watch party at a hotel in midtown manhattan. Chris, the real interesting thing is his watch party is only 1. 5 miles away from clintons watch party. Such an interesting dynamic. Both candidates so close as the results start coming back. Chris . Theyll probably be able to hear each other tonight. That will be very interesting. Thank you very much. So this is the day for you in the United States. Polls are going to start to open during this hour. 12 states will open their doors. Millions of people can go out and exercise their right. We just watched senator tim kaine in his home state of virginia. Thats a critical battleground. 13 electoral votes up for grabs. Hillary clinton hoping her running mates home state stays blue. We have cnns brian todd live in ashburn, virginia. We just saw senator tim kaine. Hes getting out there. How about by you . Reporter chris, a lot of enthusiasm here. People have been lining up since 5 00. Its cold outside. Theyve been braving the cold, snaking this line all the way out the door and around the corner. This is where theyre checking in here at Sanders Corner elementary school. Patiently waiting their turn to check in here then go vote. Heres what we talk about, about the enthusiasm. Its been a long and divisive campaign. No one knows that better than you, chris. As we talk to voters here, not tamping down their enthusiasm. Look at this line. It snakes all the way out the door. As we said, these people have been lining up since before 5 00. We got here long before 5 00, and there were people here already. Look at this. Going all the way out the door here at Sanders Corner and around the corner. Voters yesterday and the day before, we were at various events, talking to us about they were tired of the divisiveness of the campaign, tired of the tone and rhetoric, but it never stops their enthusiasm. A big surge in early voting here in virginia. More than 530,000 people cast early ballots. That hasnt tamped down the enthusiasm to come out on election day. Check this out. Its snaking all the way down and around the school. I mean, there were 60some people here almost an hour before the polls opened, chris. So this gives you a real gauge of the enthusiasm here in virginia. It is a crucial battleground state. The race is tightening in virginia. Hillary clinton, donald trump have both been in this county trying to win over votes. Theyre counting on counties like this because this is a swing county. This could go either way. Obama narrowly won it in 2012. Donald trump counting on it this year because he came here on sunday night in a lastminute appeal, hoping to win some of these folks over, chris. Hey, this is what its all about, brian. Were going to check back with you. Lets bring in our allstar political panel. David gregory, ron brownstein, jackie kucinich, and abby phillips. Good to have you all here. Last night we saw both campaigns end where they began. Very different and defined messages. We saw star power. We saw pageantry. David, what is the takeaway at the end of that last night into this morning . You know, it is an amazing contrast that we have. A nasty campaign, very unpopular candidates, two candidates who are scrubbing this electoral map, looking at the shape of the electorate with very different messages. You know, donald trump is trying to restore an america he says is lost. He represents radical change, crude change to a lot of people, but radical change when, what a of voters wanted. Hes reshaped the Republican Party. Heres Hillary Clinton, the ultimate insider, a kind of party chief within the Democratic Party, trying to assert her hold over the Electoral College. The ultimate insider, the ultimate outsider. He finished kind of dark and angry, she finished a little more upbeat. To davids point, we had a billionaire from new york city in the backyard of Walter Ruther in michigan talking about the american working class will be back as a republican. And you had a democrat in philadelphia and elsewhere and in raleigh, basically saying were going to welcome everyone into this new america. And this kind of realignment of the twoparty coalition, from a Republican Party that was essentially white collar, white american, and a Democratic Party that was bluecollar white america, to one in which republicans are increasingly focusing on the middle class and the democrats are this Diverse Coalition of socially liberal whites thats tilting them more toward relying on the sun belt. They cant completely abandon the midwest. Abby, how about that line that brian todd just showed us . He said people have been standing in the cold for an hour before the polls opened, and you saw it snake all the way out the building and down the block. People are activated. Theyre energized. Regardless of whose message it is youre taking to the polls with you this morning, people want a stake in it. And whats amazing is how many people have actually already done this. This is the election day version of what has been going on for about two or three weeks in some states. So i think we are definitely going to see huge amounts of turnout, but for people watching tonight, were going to be potentially up very late because some of these lines are very long because a lot of people are casting their ballots today. A lot of people are making lastminute decisions about who they vote for. And thats the kind of uncertainty that really leaves us kind of not sure whats going to happen later tonight. You know, the other thing i wanted to mention about last night that we havent seen in other cycles is the extent you had the incumbent president there. Hes popular, probably at the height of his popularity. He left it all on the field last night. I mean, you heard the fired up, ready to go chant. You heard this is a whole ball game. If donald trump wins, the chances that the senate and the house stay in republican hands are very, very high, meaning his legacy, he will watch his legacy be chipped away piece by piece, you know, over the next couple years. This really is the whole ball game. And you talk about the prospect of 16 years of democratic rule. This was a president , barack obama, who wanted to be a consequential president on the order of a Ronald Reagan. He has an opportunity to achieve that. Its also what kind of america are we and do we want to be. In hamilton, the lovely musical, theres that great line in that song immigrants get things done. Well, immigrants are now poised to perhaps deliver this election for Hillary Clinton. We are talking about a surge in the latino vote that perhaps could be decisive in florida, in North Carolina, in nevada. So its very interesting that immigrants are not just thinking about, you know, comprehensive Immigration Reform but are thinking about how the country thinks about them as they group, how welcoming we are as a country to immigrants. A Hillary Clinton ad actually spoke to that. Jimmy schmitt narrated. Exactly what youre saying. Its kind of the america were becoming. All the voters who feel left out from what that is, the coalition of transformation and coalition of restoration. But in terms of the obama legacy, one bigger legacy, theres not been a democratic majority on the Supreme Court in 45 years. We have all grown up in a world where theres a conservative and republican majority on the Supreme Court. If democrats win the white house, certainly if they win the senate, even if they dont, in all likelihood theres now going to be for the first time in 45 years a democratic majority in the Supreme Court. Which is one of the reasons theyve come home. A lot of republicans dont like trump, understand this reality, and vote just like people who are for gun rights. Itted cruz laying some frightening groundwork. John mccain has suggested it even. Youre talking about hamilton. Another line out of his song, hes talking about hes not going to waste his shot. Hamilton was that embodiment of i knew wed get to show tunes. Were there. I see it as more of a historical reference. Im not evolved enough. Thats what today comes down to though. Nobody knows the numbers if as well as you do, ron, but theyre all predicated no matter what demo youre looking at, at who comes out today. If those lines arent the reality all over the country, someone is going to lose their opportunity to complain. Every four years the biggest problem pollsters have is not figuring out how groups are going to vote, its how much of each group is going to vote and figuring out the composition of the electorate. Its even more important than usual this year. For example, were likely to see the biggest divergence ever between the vote of College Educated whites and nonCollege Educated whites. Donald trump is so strong among working class whites, but is at risk of becoming the first republican to lose the college whites. The distance between voters of color and noncollege whites will be enormous. Every point that is different in the composition of the electorate has a huge impact on the outcome and probably Donald Trumps best chance on the last day is what it was on his first day, which is that he produces an electorate that is more blue collar, more nonurban than the pollsters are expecting. Abby, we have a little illustration of whats happening with the hispanic vote. We just want to show it because it is notable how much its up. Florida, North Carolina, georgia, obviously we could look at nevada and other places, but you see its up significantly. 89 , 79 , 144 from the last elections. Folks are breathing a sigh of relief in brooklyn about that. There was some concern going into this that maybe donald trump, you know, being sort of vilifying Illegal Immigrants wouldnt be enough. Maybe it wouldnt be enough to cause some of these folks to come out, and they have. The question is, especially in a state like florida, what actually happens to those hispanic voters. It isnt a sure thing for democrats in florida to say hispanic voters are going to come out 80 , 90 for them. I think this is going to be a key test of what happens there. I still think its been surprising to me how many cubanamericans and others are not as opposed to donald trump as one would expect. And that actually continues a long trend of that group trending toward the Republican Party. It wont be 80 or 90, but it will be the highest ever in florida. 60 of new voters in florida, hispanic voters, voting for the first time. Panel, thank you. Theyre going to have record turnout, thats for sure. In that way alone, florida is going to be a model for the rest of the nation. Were going to hear from both campaigns this morning. We have the vp president ial nominee for the democrats, tim kaine. We just watched him voting in his home state of virginia. And we have donald trump jr. On in the 8 00 hour. The race to 270, the big test today for both candidates, which states hold the keys to victory, which ones should you be watching tonight. We break all that down. We get to play with a map. Oh, yes. And do you want a chance to be featured on cnns election day coverage . Of course you do. Its so easy. Just take a picture of yourself voting. Go to your instagram, use the hashtag my vote.
