There, including daughter ivanka trump, who will be in michigan and North Carolina. Donald trump is focusing on florida with three stops, including one in miami right now. Thats just wrapped up. Watch this. The work of government would grind to a halt if she were ever elected. Shell be in court for her entire tenure, and shell be convicted, because, look. The first time, i mean, frankly forget about this time. The first time she gets a subpoena from the United States dog, and she deletes everything . There shouldnt have been a second time, but i have respect that the fbi has given it a second chance. Our Jason Carroll is in miami. Following the Trump Campaign for us. Our White House Correspondent Michelle Kaczynski is in chapel hill, North Carolina, ahead of president obamas appearance there later this afternoon. Jason, three stops in florida for donald trump today. Whats his message to florida voters . We heard his attack on Hillary Clinton just now. Reporter well, first of all, a quick observation, wolf. At one point donald trump, you know, he likes to refer to Hillary Clinton as crooked hillary. At one point he said, thats going to be a great term for a president. Of course, he meant it sarcastically, and im sure didnt mean it as any sort of sense of foreshadowing. What you got to see happening now in the campaign is the trump closing argument. Hitting the themes, why voters should choose trump over clinton, and weve heard many of these themes before. He mentioned the email controversy. Meaning, he saying you cannot trust this candidate. Talked about wanting to repeal and replace obama care. If hes not in office he says its just going to be four more years of president obamas policy and finally, wolf, hitting once again on this unfounded claim of a rigged system. A vote for trump means you can get in there and try to clean up washington. These are the closing arguments youre hearing today and that were going to continue to hear as we head to november 8th. The Trump Campaign knows in order to get to the 270 that magical number of electoral votes, theyve got to flip a blue state and theyve got to take the state of florida. Why theyre here in miamidade. This is a blue county. Make no mistake about that, but donald trump came here to make his statement here today. Early voting seems to suggest that Hillary Clinton is doing well with early voters here in the state, but a poll also shows that perhaps donald trump will do better with those who intend to vote on november 8th. Once again, the bottom line, donald trump has to win the state of florida. Making a stop here. He also has two more stops in orlando and pensacola. Wolf . All right. Jason, thanks very much. Michelle, this is president obama thats about to be his Second Campaign stop in two days. Whats the strategy for the president . Does he have a specific target for his rally later today . Reporter yes, definitely. Look where hes stopping. Yesterday ohio, today North Carolina. Very similar situation here, where weeks ago we saw polls showing Hillary Clinton with a pretty sizable lead over donald trump. And then you saw the tightening. I mean, in both of these states it get down to the point some polls show trump in the lead. Others show Hillary Clinton with a smaller lead. So obviously the campaign feels, this is where president obama can be most effective at the end. Also, with early voting. I mean in this state, there are theres a lead of democrats over republicans, about a 13 percentage point lead over whos early voting, but those numbers are not where they were four years ago. Same thing with africanamericans. Thats a reason for the campaign to worry about it. Especially since larger numbers of republicans usually turn up op the day of the election. In this election, theres a lot of question marks out there. You see the urgency here. So president obama has been trying to make that appeal to the people that Hillary Clinton needs. Young people, and africanamericans. Interesting to hear the president as hes been doing these multiple interviews with radio programs that are popular among black americans. Just today, spelling it out in very plain language. Saying, look, i know the excitement was there for me. Well, you have to show that excitement for Hillary Clinton. And just today being out here and talking to some of the black students, theyre saying, yeah. There is a gap in the excitement level for Hillary Clinton. Obviously thats going to be there give than president obama was the first black president. But theyre feeling like you know, some of their friends and colleagues, they need to be pulled out toal po athe polls. Why theyre not showing up in enormous numbers for early voting. Well see how that works out on election day. Also today we heard the president weigh in on the email controversy in an interview. Hes been avoiding that topic. Given he was asked directly about it today, he pretty much echoed what weve heard from the administration. He reiterated what the fbi had said months ago, that there was nothing prosecutable there. But he also wants to hit on Hillary Clintons mistakes, in the sense that, you know, he kind of frames this in terms of a lot of noise and distraction out there surrounding this issue. How hes been terming it, but also been saying, look, everybody makes mistakes. Im not a perfect president. Ive made mistakes. Hillary clinton has made mistakes but often gets a bad rap, or its blown up to the point that it has before. Thats how he frames the controversy as he makes his pitch for her being the better of the two candidate. Wolf . Michelle kaczynski reporting for us. Thank you very much, michelle. I want to play a little clip of what else the president had to say about the fbis review of the Hillary Clinton email issue. Listen to this. I do think that there is a norm that, you know, when there are investigations, we dont operate on innuendo. We dont operate on incomplete information. We dont operate on leaks. We operate based on concrete decisions that are made. When this was investigated thoroughly the last time, the conclusion of the fbi, the conclusion of the justice department, the conclusion of repeated congressional investigations was that you know, she had made some mistakes, but that there wasnt anything there that was you know, prosecutable. Lets bring in our panel, talk about this and a lot more. Joining us right now, our Panel Including susan paige, the Washington Bureau chief for usa today. Cnn political analyst David Gregory and David Chalian and amy stoddard, associate editor and columnist for real clear politics. Quickly, david. The president talks about the email issue, the fbi review of whats going on right now. When he does that it generates more news coverage. This is a story the Clinton Campaign would like to see go discussed as were doing right now. As were doing right now. Its not going to go away. I think they understand that. Certainly the president understands it. From a narrower, Strategic Point of view they recognize this is hurting and on the minds of voters. I think they believe that there is a chance to turn it around to her favor. If the president s out here talking about this saying, look, her enemies are overreaching here. This is unfair. There are people who have to get out. You heard the president pointedly saying today to africanamerican voters, look we have one more election, even though im not on the ballot youve got to turn out for her, youve got to vote for her. Theres a feeling the democratic faithful can be fired up, get a little more enthusiastic out of a sense of unfairness with regard to what the fbis doing, thats the best they can try to do at this point. Well talk more about that. David, new polls in key battleground states released. Put some numbers up on the screen. New cnn polls that just came out in arizona right now. Donald trump leads Hillary Clinton by five points. Traditionally in president s contests a republican state. Its a tight contest in florida right now with Hillary Clinton ahead by just two points. 4947 . In nevada, the race shifted with trump now ahead, impressive lead 4943 in nevada. In a pennsylvania clinton hold a fourpoint edge but it was bigger a month or so ago. What do the numbers, david, say to you about where the race is with only a few days left jrc . T i think the Clinton Campaign, you note add 2345narrow margin pennsylvania, a fourpoint lead is a Pretty Healthy margin and another poll came out, Monmouth University in pennsylvania today also showing a fourpoint lead for clinton. Immediately you look for a blueleaning state. Is it holding . If youre the Clinton Campaign, you can breathe a sigh of relief there. The other side, good news for donald trump obviously. Still very competitive in states he must win. Florida, nevada. Those nevada numbers some of the best in nevada ive seen for him in quite some time. Well see if other polls agree as more nevada polls come out. Look whats happening inside thee these numbers. Look at enthusiasm levels. Key to watch. Look across all four states you see that in every state, except pennsylvania theyre about tide, trump voters more enthusiastic than clinton voters. If the final home stretch that is really important. The other thing we learned i think you can see, some enthusiasm numbers right now. Florida, tenpoint advantage. Arizona, threepoint advantage. Pennsylvania pa and big advantage in nevada. Take a look at temperament and honesty and trustworthiness, character traits at the very core of this election. You see flaws on each side. The temperament question, he is down in every single state. Huge. Look at that. 5634. 20point gaps. 23, 25point gaps where shes seen as the one to have the temperament to serve as president. Ask about hon effort and trustworthiness across all these states, that is her achilles heel to what david was saying. Down in every category there, in arizona he beats her 5136. Nevada, 5137. Florida, 4640. Pennsylvania even where shes ahead 4638. So it is clear if this issue if the race is about character, youre going to hear the Clinton Campaign talk as about donald trump temperament as possible and hear the Trump Campaign talk about Hillary Clintons honesty and trust worthiness. In these four states, interesting, donald trump has a better image being more honest and trustworthy than Hillary Clinton. How worried should she be . The numbers werent terrible for her. Take heart you didnt see a plunge. Im with david. The sort of internal numbers in here are interesting. Its not that his honesty numbers have gained in a lot of these polls in the last 36 hours. Hers dropped. Thats as a result of the fbi revelation. Shes killing him on qualities for commander in chief, on temperament. Split on immigration and trade. Vision for a future, he has a stronger message. Ties her in arizona but she beats him in the other states. He has economy and terrorism, top issues, but she also has him on health care, interestingly enough, a week into the obama news which is really tough and on foreign policy. Its such a mixed bag. Its really going to come down with both candidates now having sort of brought home their bases, particularly important for donald trump here in the 11th hour to turning out their voters. Hes got to touch a traditionally blue state like pennsylvania or michigan, for example, red, republican. He doesnt do that, probably not going to win. Can he do it . Looking pretty good in nevada pap state obama won four years ago. Nevada is a state that has gone with the winner of the election every time since 2012. Might be a state to look at. The con taeft has gotten a lot closer compare pid thursday. The day before the comey announcement. When the clinton camp decided to go to arizona. If making those decisions today they would not go to arizona but to a blue site to shore up as she is by going to michigan. They are no longer so confident that theyre going to win the senate. And they are no longer so confident theyre able to expand the map. They are back to a 270 electoral vote strategy, but after all that is enough. Whats helping trump now, correct me if im wrong, david, hes listening to adviser and basically sticking to the script, to the teleprompter. Not add litslibbing. Theyre afraid he could say things to turn things in the wrong direction from their perspective. I think thats absolutely right. You hear him when hes talking about, you know, getting Business Done in washington it will be difficult. Thats a salient point. Its a strong ninety he makes. When he talks about her being convicted and put in prison, when he goes off the reservation, but hes sticking to that. Something else is going on talking to senior republicans. The guilt factor all of a sudden going on among big time republican donors and other republicans seeing either in early voting or captured in these polls. People has thought basically trump was going to lose, and now all of a sudden its tight and they think, oh, geez. If im blamed for, you know, for sitting this one out or not being with him that could be a story line i dont want toing that. I want to come home pup see a lot of republicans i think combined with his message coming home, and then theyre being recented what they dont like about her. Im interested in what is the question voters have at the end . In 2004, if the question was terrori terrorism, karl rove says answer george w. Bush. He won the election. Is it character, temperament . Eem on the eve of voting say who can i matchen in the oval office . You think that benefits her . Im not sure what is the decisive question. And how many voters are still asking that country. We dont know how many late deciders, usually not that many and so, yes. What is the question going in . How many people are still asking a question . 25 Million People or so is vurd voted in the leekelection. Guys, stay with us. Dont go far. You can kocatch allday coverag right here on cnn tuesday.

While it will certainly be a battle on the field its also shaping up now to be a battle during the commercial breaks. Our senior media correspondent brian stealth slter is in new y. Campaign is trying to capitalize on tonights historic world series game. What are you learning . Reporter that is right. The biggest Television Audience between now and tuesday night will be the world series. In just a few hours. Today the donald trump bought one commercial for tonights game and the Clinton Campaign moments ago bought four commercial spots. Meaning several campaign ads during the game seven. Also by the way, one nra ad. If you were watching last night you might have seen two clinton ads and one nra ad. Now the Trump Campaign getting in on this baseball action, and the Clinton Campaign, with four ads potentially, could be all over this game. Heres the thing, wolf. Games are unpredictable. We dont know all four will be able to run during all of these innings. Thats what theyve booked for now and we dont know what the ad will include. Positive ads . Negative ads . One thing we know for sure. Millions are tuning in for the world series. Probably 30 Million Viewers tonight. Its the biggest opportunity these campaigns have left to reach a lot of eyeballs all at once. Im sure buying those ads, not cheap at all. But clearly feel money well spent with all the people watching this world series. Final game seven a huge audience, i am sure. Thanks for that report. Once again, less than six days to go until election day here in the United States. More than 24 million americans have already cast their ballots. Heres a snapshot of a few key states in colorado, iowa, North Carolina and nevada. More democrats than republicans have already voted. In arizona, florida, ohio and utah, more republicans than democrats so far have voted. Joining us now from buffalo, new york, republican congressman chris collins, cochairman of the trump house leadership committee, the first member of the house to endorse donald trump. Congressman, thanks for joining us. Good to be with you, wolf. Good to be with you. The early voting total so far add up to about 20 of the voelgts vo total voters based on the 2012 turnout. How much is the trump camp reading into the early numbers . I know theyre looking at them closely. Actually, wolf, the Trump Campaign is very happy. Typically democrats turn out for the or cast the early votes in much greater numbers than republicans. Republicans tend to show up more on election day. So right now at least our data shows that the early voting by republicans is greater and bigger numbers than normal. Were quite pleased where things stand right now on early voting. The Trump Campaign also, weve now been told, planning to spend what, about 25 million on advertising these final few days before the election. Whats the strategy here . I know the money is being spent on tv stations in those key battleground states. You know, i really think, wolf, right now this is turn out the vote kind of messaginge ini. I dont know how many turn out the vote voters there be. Understanding the binary choice of Hillary Clinton, Supreme Court, obama care. At the same time trying to message to the undecideds, if nothing else, trying to convince those undecideds that may not vote for donald trump to simply skip the president ial vote. Vote down ballot. I think its not so much converting democrats supporters of hillary to vote for donald, but getting the donald supporters out. Getting back to the, what would you call the historical republican turnout model. Some of those people on the fence so long now understanding the binary choice and maybe messaging to the Bernie Sanders voters, vote for one of the independents or just skip the president ial line altogether. Were hearing, by the way, congressman, some of your conservative colleagues are holding some sort of private closed door meeting today to look ahead down the future. Some speculation theyre talking about the House Speaker paul ryan. They seem to be upset, at least some of them, with him, because he hasnt been very effusive, if at all in support for donald trump. He voted for him but is not really campaigning for hill. Not speaking for him. Where do you stand on this . Well, im a strong supporter of paul ryan, but the Freedom Caucus which is meeting today, its not about paul ryan supporting or no supporting with enough energy donald trump. Its more the Freedom Caucus has been frustrated, some bills they want to put on the floor, very controversial, very far right bills, have not seen the light of day. They want to change what we would call a rule in our conference that if they can gather x number of members that automatically those bills go to the house floor nap would. That would be a big change not relying on the majority leader to decide what goes to the house floor. Its more about procedures, that they want paul ryan to agree to. In order to get their support it ra really nothing to do with donald trump. This is kind of inside baseball on how bills get to the house floor, and the frustration of the Freedom Caucus that some of their more controversial dills have not been voted on. Some of us love inside baseball. Especially on day seven of the final game. Game seven of the world series. All right, congressman. Thanks very much. Chris collins, joining us from buffalo, new york g. To be with you, wolf. Thank. House ma importanty leader nancy pelosi calling out the fbi director james comey for his double standard were dealing with the president ial candidates. Her conversation with cnn.

Demming attacking the fbis decision to nrm kocinform dog o emails relevant possibly to Hillary Clinton the use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. Jamie gangel sat down with former House Speaker nancy pelosi. Jamie is joining us now. What did she tell you . Reporter we started asking nancy pelosi if she thinks fbi director comeys action have interfered with the race. She said, yes, i do. She also thinks that it is causing problems and heres more of what she said. I am an admirer of comey in terms of what he has done in the past. I think he made a mistake on this and he clearly has a double standard when it comes to donald trump. Keep him out of it. Just when it came to the hacking by the russians, that the highest confidence of our Intelligence Community says the russians did this, i know it privately, because of being hacked by the russians, and he says, well, its too close to the election to talk about that. And yet its not too close to the election to talk about the emails that he says may not be significant. So i think he made a mistake and these jobs if youre not in it for a while, you cant take the heat, and i think he just couldnt take the heat from the republicans. Do you think he should resign . Im not going to that place. I think that we have to just get through this election, and just see what the casualties are along the way. Reporter do you think Hillary Clinton used bad judgment in having huma abedin as such a close aide in all of this . The relationships that people have are something that im not going to comment on, no. Humas a lovely person. She has the confidence of Hillary Clinton. Theyre friends. I think huma used bad judgment in marrying anthony weiner. If you want to ask about questions like that, but i think that hillarys respect for huma goes back a long way and their friendship is important. So, jamie, polls clearly are tightening now. Does nancy pelosi think this latest email scandal, if you want to call it that, is hurting Hillary Clinton where it counts in the ballot box . Reporter right. Well, look, wolf. Clearly all democrats are very unhappy about what fbi director comey did, and this announcement, and obviously, you cant ignore the polls. But she said she really feels that in the end, it will help get out the vote. That its going to energize the base. So, you know, democrats have been worried about voters being complacent or not enthusiastic enough to get out to vote for hillary. So you know, as weve seen, nobody is happy with what fbi director comedy on the democratic side. But you can see in both her remarks, president obamas interview with cnn that theyre not shying away from raising the issue, because it gets, they hope, gets the vote out. Wolf . All right. Jamie, thanks very much. Coming up, early voting numbers revealing a big problem for Hillary Clinton. Turnout among africanamericans in early voting states is down. President obama likely to address this when he takes the stage in North Carolina later this afternoon. Looking at live pictures from there. Can he fire up the socalled Obama Coalition, which twice elected him president , to help Hillary Clinton . Well discuss when we come back. For millions of baby boomers theres a virus out there. A virus thats serious, like hiv, but it hasnt been talked about much. A virus thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it. Thats because hep c can hide in your body silently for years, even decades, without symptoms and its not tested for in routine blood work. If left untreated, hep c can cause liver damage, even liver cancer. But theres Important Information for us the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested for hep c. All it takes is a simple onetime blood test. And if you have hep c, it can be cured. Be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. For us its time to get tested. Its the only way to know for sure. Gives you better taste and better nutrition in so many varieties. Classic. Cage free. And organic. Only egglands best. With only six days left, Hillary Clinton and donald trump, they are in the final stretch of this campaign marathon. Candidates and surrogates fanning out across the country today. One of the last chances they have to convince people to get out and vote. Lets bring in cnn politics executive eder mark preston at the cnn decision desk. Mark, youre focusing in on two battleground states. Florida and North Carolina. What are you seeing in those states . Wolf, as you said. Six days to election day. More than 24 Million People have actually voted across the country. But the two key states we want to really focus in on are states that are the key to the road to 270. Look at North Carolina right now. Lets look at the breakdown here. You have democrats at this point have a 219,000 vote advantage over republicans in return ballots. Sounds like its good news. Except when you look where they were in 2012. They had a 292,000 vote advantage at that time. So clearly a bit of a dropoff from four years ago. Why is that . As you can see from these numbers right here, wolf. Right here you have the africanamerican dropoff vote right here. As well as just a little bit of an uptick of the hispanic vote, but this is troublesome. Barack obama will be in North Carolina today to try to rally those voters. Let us go to the state of florida right now, wolf. When you look at florida, about 3. 5 Million People have voted already. But you know what . Where are they right now . Republicans have a slight advantage in the state of florida right now when it comes to this, wolf. About a 9,000 vote in returned ballots at this point. However, go deeper into 2008. Look at that. Democrats had a 50,000 vote advantage at this same time. So, again, troublesome. Lets look into the Obama Coalition. Part of the Obama Coalition that was very helpful to him winning. Africanamericans are responsible for about 12 of returned absentee ballots at this point. Go back, though to 2008. They were responsible for 15. 1 p a decries by 3. 2 in return ballots. Good news for democrats, this number right here at the bottom, wolf. The hispanic vote is up 4. 5 than it was over in 2008. Barack obama again in North Carolina today, wolf. Hell also return there on wednesday and, of course, donald trump is in florida campaigning. Wolf . Thanks very much, mark preston for that. Just moments ago president obama boarded air force one for chapel hill, North Carolina, where hell speak at a Campaign Event for Hillary Clinton later this afternoon. Thats where my next guest is now. Democratic congressman g. K. Butterfield, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Congressman, thank very much for joining us. Thank you, wolf. Good afternoon. Its electric here in chapel hill awaiting the arrival of the president. Im sure it is. Let me ask you this. The africanamerican voter turnout, you just heard, is slightly down in North Carolina at this point in early ballot voting than it was four years ago. Are you concerned that the, the motivation is not there in big numbers for africanamericans to go up, to show up and vote as they did for president obama back in 2012 and 2008 . No. The motivation is here. I dont think its a good comparison to look at 2012, because weve just gone through a 500 year flood with hurricane matthew. Let me tell you, as of yesterday, 465,000 africanamericans had voted in North Carolina. Thats a 30 turnout and we still have six days to go in this election. North carolina is poised to win this victory for Hillary Clinton, and to wane senate seat in our state. The name of this game is turnout, and we are actively engaged in voter turnout across the state. We also are playing defense because the republicans are saying they are going to intimidate africanamerican voters on election day to try to nullify their votes. We are playing offense and defense, but you should know that 2 Million People have already voted in North Carolina. 43 of those are democrat. 31 republican. North carolinas not sleeping. We are wide awake in this election. Our eyes are wide open and were watching the republicans every day. President obama says, as you know, hes counting on Hillary Clinton to continue his legacy of these eight years on the tom joyner morning show today the president made an appeal to africanamerican voters that dont necessarily feel as enthusiastic as they did when they voted for him four and eight years ago. Lyn to what the president said. And i know that there are a lot of people in barber shops and beauty salons, you know, in the neighborhoods who are saying to themselves, well, you know, we love barack. We especially love michelle and so, you yo, it was exciting and now were not excited as much, and, you know what . I i need everybody to understand that everything weve done is dependent on me being able to pass the baton to somebody who believes in the same things i believe in. And so if you really care about my presidency and what weve accomplished, then you are going to go and vote, but if we let this thing slip, and ive got a situation where my last two months in office, preparing for a transition to donald trump, whose staff people have said that their primary agenda is to have him in the first couple weeks sit in the oval office and reverse every single thing that weve done so congressman, how effective is that message to the Africanamerican Community . Its hugely effective. Africanamericans are paying attention to this election, because we know so much is at stake. Not only do we have the Supreme Court that hangs in the balance but domestic policy as well. Africanamerican communities will suffer tremendously, not only under republican rule, but with donald trump at the helm, we are going to be neglected and will be set back for generations. Weve got to get this right. Africanamericans are attune to this and we are prepared to vote in unprecedented numbers. I believe by the time election day comes you will see a greater than 70 turnout of africanamerican voters in North Carolina, because we get it. Congressman g. K. Butterfield, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus from North Carolina. Thanks so much for joining us. Well, thank you. Were awaiting the arrival of the president and this city is absolutely eelectric as the state is as well. We are fully engaged in this election. The president s going toing back on friday and two more venues across our state. North carolina is a battleground for sure. Hes working really hard for Hillary Clinton right now.

As the sounds of gunfire ring out, they have encountered ieds and mortar shelling. Arwa damon has just returned from the front lines. Arwa is joining us live. Arwa, tell us about what youve seen and how this battle is progressin progressing. Wolf, as the counterterrorism unit we were in has been pushing towards the city of mosul itself, theyve come across what are fairly common isis tactics, the suicide bombers you are mentioning there but also roads in lane with ieds. Today we were in the humvee with them and over the radio we could hear the chatter and it was civilians who on more than one occasion were telling the troops where isis buried these roadside bombs. They were able to detonate them and push forward. Some fairly intense clashes in some instances, a lot of mortar fire being traded, especially the closer we got to the city of mosul itself. The front line as it currently stands where we were earlier today is around 600 feet from the first mosul residential neighborhood troops would potentially be entering and in that particular area there was a lot of mortar, rocket and sniper fire the soldiers position there had were telling us. Some were trying to stay in their homes, others were trying to flee as far away as they could and, wolf, some of the stories they were telling us were horrific. Its an incredible story unfolding right now, arwa. Youve spoken to civilians who have been liberated. What are they telling you . A lot of them are very relieved. They are also wary, though. Remember, the last time these people in mosul and on the outskirts of it interacted with the Iraqi Security forces, that was when they basically abandoned their positions, fled and left them to their fate of being ruled by isis. So theres a lot of trust that needs to be built there and there is starting to be being built in these initial stages. And as i was saying, the stories they have are chilling stories of being detained. Stories of having loved ones executed but the most horrific was the story of a woman who was enslaved by isis, raped, she gave birth to a son, she told us all she could do is pray she never has to tell him who his father is. Arwa damon reporting for us. Lets get the latest now in the investigation into a pair of deadly ambush style Police Shootings in the United States. In iowa, police have a man in custody, Scott Michael green, has not been arrested but police say they consider him a suspect in the killings of the Des Moines Police Sergeant Anthony babendio and justin martin.
