Bryan, as you await there, set the scene for us in pennsylvania . Reporter bill, good evening, yeah. Both campaigns are treating pennsylvania as a mustwin. The prevailing thought is keystone state 20 electoral votes could very well decide the election. Dont take my word for it, take a look at the candidates travel schedule. Look at President Trump travel schedule in pennsylvania. By this coming monday the president would have made 8 Campaign Stops in pennsylvania this week alone. Today hes making 4 stops in the Common Wealth ending the day here in butler and then in montorsville, final pennsylvania stop monday in scranton, bidens hometown. The key is turnout, turnout, the president really needs to really bring up the score, the margins in those red counties, more voters have to come out for him because they expect biden to have gained in and around philadelphia and pittsburgh particularly in the suburbs and when you speak to the republicans in the state, bill, they do say that there are votes to be had by the republicans. They point out since 2016 over 205,000 registered democrats in pennsylvania have switched to the Republican Party. 7 counties, mostly in the western part of the state have gone from majority democrat to majority republican registered voters, the president today continues to hit biden hard on the Energy Industry particularly important in western pennsylvania, he has been playing the campaignstyle videos at the rallies showing both screens and added versions of biden in his own words painting him as antifracking and antioil industry. Here is the president earlier today in utah. For 47 years, he supported every disastrous trade deal that enriched cronieses an impoverished your state. Reporter the president said earlier this month, if we win pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing. The real clear politics has the race here biden up by a little less than 4 points in pennsylvania, but that is tighter than it was just a few weeks ago. Bill. Bill chilly day, bryan, hang out for later in the hour, bryan llenas. What bryan was breaking down 2016. Butler, pennsylvania, thats where bryan is. Start popping around pennsylvania, you see where the margins are 66 county, 76 over here. Its not the number of votes that you would find in a pittsburgh or philadelphia but nonetheless, as bryan pointed out the trump thinks theres still votes to be mined out here. Tour of pa with four stops on saturday. The president started out yesterday and booked over to burkes county and look at that margin. 73 , can you make it higher than that . The trump team is trying to do that. In the meantime lets pop on over to michigan where former president obama and joe biden speak in a moment. Peter doocy is taking in the action. Hes live in detroit, michigan gain. Hey, peter. Peter and bill, the two of them stopped at a local church to thank volunteers and try to pump up the Grassroots Efforts which is a big change from a few weeks ago when because of covid19 lockdowns the campaign only try today reach voters in competitive states online and on the phone. At each stop today, though, joe biden has been the headliner, that was never the head when barack obama was at the top of the ticket. He obviously, joe biden is the democratic nominee although he and obama are putting a lot of focus on the current president. The president likes to portray that i love this, likes to portray hymn as a tough guy, when youre in high school wouldnt you have like today take a shot. Thats a different story, anyway. A macho man. Peter dispute that, barack obama said joe biden doesnt have a meanspirited bone in his body. 179 cars parked in the lot behind the school in flint for that event which coincided with the hot ticket in town broadcast of the Michigan State football game. Barack obama focused heavily in his remarks on President Trump covid19 response but also tried to make things personal, he called biden his brother and he admitted democrats got complacent during the last election and even though we really dont hear a ton of obama about the news of the day he has apparently been paying attention and trying to use what hes learn today level lines like this at trump. Hes still worrying about inauguration crowd being smaller than mine. It really bugs him. He talk hes still talking about that. Does he have Nothing Better to worry about . Did no one come to his Birthday Party when he was a kid . Peter and if you have a look, weve got a picture of the stage in bell ill bell aisle where obamabiden motorcade is making its way. Its interesting, kind of funny, at first event they were trying to keep people entertained before the headliners showed up so they had big screens on either side of the stage that were showing the Michigan State and michigan game but because it was coming from local broadcast there were ads on the biden stage for president obama President Trump and hopeful john james. Bill it happens, right. Peter, we will check with you. Peter mentioned michigan, grand rapids, you can see the president late on monday night as part of Closing Argument as we move to tuesday on election day and detroit is right here. The event that president obama was earlier today was the home of flint, michigan, heavy demographic for africanamericans, a lot of democratic votes, 5545 four years ago. Hillary clinton picked occupy a hundred thousand votes. Wayne county, thats detroit. You see how well Hillary Clinton did almost 70 to have vote. Interesting to know, we talked to Debbi Dingell a congresswoman in michigan about that, in 2012 barack obama had almost 600,000 votes in wayne county alone which is detroit and Hillary Clinton underperformed that mark just 4 years ago. Keep an eye on that as we move forward tuesday and into the results on wednesday perhaps. Wisconsin is also getting a lot of attention from both campaigns, final days before the election. President trump and joe biden spending time yesterday and the president plans on making one more stop there before the election. Mike tobin picks up coverage, hes live in madison now with more, mike. Mike well, bilker as we have been watching the flurry of Campaign Stops you notice that wisconsin keeps popping up as locater and graphics, both campaigns look at badger state as can win and mustwin, President Trump will be in ken kenosha. He keeps bringing america free trade agreement. At every turn biden betrayed American Workers and twisted his knife into the back of wisconsin workers. You suffered as much as anybody. Mike trump squeaked out a win by less than 1 in 2016 after Clinton Campaign famously ignored wisconsin. Democrats are not repeating the same mistake. I came up here campaigning for hillary and for a whole lot of reasons not all was her fault ended up not taking it seriously. We thought it was differently. Ive been here a lot and by the way when i get elected, if i get elected im coming back. [laughter] [applause] look, in the final days, we have to keep our sense of empowerment and sense of optimism. Mike republican volunteers in wisconsin have knocked on 2 million doors and with coronavirus concerns democrats placed emphasis on electronic outreach however political activist committees have been knocking on doors for democrats. We are an essential state and its odd politically because we are itsybitsy state and when you have the possibility of putting a winning coalition, wisconsin jumps out as being important because we are really one of the few states that can flip one direction or the other. Mike now, polls show that joe biden has a lead going into the final days here. Its pretty much the same lead that Hillary Clinton had in 2016, before trump the last republican to win wisconsin was ronald reagan. Bill, back to you. Bill thank you, mike, mike tobin. I will show the map from wisconsin. Thank you, mike, check back with you a little bit this later. Home of madison, capital folks, young folks live there, 75 for Hillary Clinton, thats where you two to campaign, over here milwaukee up in green bay, here is the lay of land in milwaukee, wisconsin, 70 of the vote, now you see why, you can see in the final closing days where both campaigns are going get the vote. By the way milwaukee, africanamerican population, about a third there. So as target based on some of the reporting out of florida earlier this week that africanamerican turnout has been soft, point of photohere note here, polls open sunday and it will be focus on africanamerican churches starting sunday as well. Popping up to green bay, brown county here. The president did pretty well picking up 67,000 votes over Hillary Clinton. And as you watch here, just as you see the red and the blue on the map, you can see over time what happens here. This is 8 years ago in 2012, you see that fill in for barack obama in south, west and the north. Look what happened in 2016, so many of those blue counties, again, i will show it to you, dissolve into red and thats what the trump team is banking on again this year and we will see if thats the case. More on the strategy right now i want to move further west to the state of minnesota and the former acting director of intelligence rick ranell with me, good afternoon, thank you for your time. Youre in minnesota, youve been on the trail, give us your sense of the race as of now . Well, first of all, we have to say that every time you or anybody quotes polls, we have to remember that the polls have been historically wrong. I actually dont think that we have behind. Ive been all over minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania nonstop and i have to say that we are we are doing great. I feel the energy is behind President Trump. We have a lot of democrats that have come out for President Trump. When you look at the coalition thats come together for President Trump, its working class, its more blacks, more hispanics, more gays, more working class than ever before. I think that donald trump is is set to win this bigger than he won in 2016 just because of the coalition and the excitement and this is coming from somebody who is on the ground constantly talking to voters who say i didnt vote for him in 2016 and i sure am now. Bill that sounds like a prediction, rick. Rick well, look, its a better prediction than any of your pollsters that are giving 600, 700,000 people a phone call. Im actually shaking hands and talking to people, so, you know, theres ways in washington, d. C. The political keep quoting polls and its giving people a false impression and people are angry at the media right now and they are angry that they only getting one side of the information and that theyre being told about all of these polls where the president is down. People are angry and i think its backfiring and all those in washington, d. C. And in new york city who run media companies, they dont get it. They dont have the feel for what americans are doing and i would i would say, you know, thats a long answer to your question to say, yeah, i think i have a better feel for what americans are going through certainly in the midwest than people in washington, d. C. Who havent been out on the campaign trail. Bill you mentioned a lot of battleground states an we will show through the map, they really are the focus of the campaign as you well know. As you travel, what is your sense of covid and how thats playing in the campaign in the president has taken a lot of hit for having the rallies, what do you think about that . I dont think the president is taking a lot of hits on the rallies. I see massive support for the president. I see massive numbers of people who are really angry that america is trying to shut down. We were told that, you know, the United States is doing worse than europe but tomorrow we are going see a whole bunch of European Countries shut down their economies. I actually think that we as americans have to recognize that we to everything possible, we wear masks when we can, we dont go around the vulnerable, we do everything we can except shutting down the economy. People dont want this economy shut down. They are angry about it and the more joe biden and Kamala Harris talk about the National Maskmandate that they want to do in january, the end of january 2021, thats not based on science. How can you predict that in 3 months youre going to have a National Mask mandate . They have no idea what the future holds but thats their policy. Theyre also talking about greater shutdowns. They want more social distancing at restaurants which means whole wings of restaurants or businesses are going to have to get shut down. I think that when you compare a lockdown and a shutdown which is what biden is calling for versus donald trump saying wear a mask around vulnerable people, but we have to get back to work. Now im seeing reports where the left is saying we should have opened up the schools, the Elementary School level. Look, this is a disaster for the left. This is not the Traditional Democratic party. Theyre defunding the police, theyre shutting down our schools, they are shutting down our economy and i see a lot of democrats in the midwest say i cant take this anymore, i am going to vote for donald trump. Bill ric grenell, thank you. This is how minnesota came out 4 years ago. Hillary clinton narrow win, a lot of people forget about this, just 44,000 votes in 2016. I mentioned michigan a moment ago and jump back here because this was the state that was decided by 11,000 votes. Trump beating Hillary Clinton in wolverine state. Debbi dingell, you came on the air with me in 2016 and said, i think trump can win this thing. What do you think now . Congresswoman hi, bill, good to see you, we will keep going. Its going to be go blue day on tuesday. I dont believe the polls. The only poll that matters is the poll on election day. People have to go vote and this is coming down to voter turnout, voter turnout. I think a lot of people didnt believe that donald trump could win, a lot of people in michigan, 90,000 people left top of the ticket blank last time and you dont feel that. But i do feel in certain parts of the states with certain demographicking demographicking it is tightening. The reason president obama and joe biden is you have to get people out and you cant take them for granted and women are turning out in massive numbers much more so than they did 4 years ago. Bill some of the anecdotal evidence especially in florida, how much concern do you have about hispanic votes going for trump and africanamerican support being soft . Congresswoman look, i dont take anything for granted. Im not one of the cheerleaders that says this is a done election. Its not going to be done. Every person that hasnt voted that care strongly need to go out and vote. I think momentum is with joe biden right now. I agree that covid is an issue that people are going to vote on but i do think that it turned peoples world upside down. Today in michigan we had the highest number yet. Its surging in state as cross the country and people are scared. Theyre scared about their jobs, theyre scared about whats going to happen to it. If the president had chosen to wear a mask in many places, because people listen to him, because people follow him, he would have reduced the number of people and would have reduced the deaths. If he comes to michigan you have to go . Bill its okay. I have a minute left. The point youre driving out there and we will see on wednesday what the state of covid is on on behalf of both men. Final point here, though, what we hear from republicans consistently is they go to battleground states and they see no ground game for joe biden. Thousand do you how do you feel about that . Theres been ground game and millions of calls. We have to figure out how we will measure that at some point. I can tell you ive had a ground game, 49,000 people that have returned ab ballots that did not vote in 2016. We are doing doors and targeted state legislative seats, have been doing doors since july. The Biden Campaign has now started doing canvass, we do have a ground game and we will deliver on tuesday. Bill do you want to give us a prediction 3 days out congresswoman . Can i give you a prediction on monday . I do think joe biden is likely to win but its higher than what people think right now. Bill thank you for your time. Maybe we will talk on monday. Debbi dingell, thank you, back home detroit, michigan. We talk about the upper midwest and thats where the contest is being waged now, pennsylvania and michigan, wisconsin and minnesota. A little bit later this hour we will move to southeast and tell you whats on the line. Minutes away dueling campaigns, trump and biden supporters coming out in force and we will take you live when our coverage continues on this Election Special saturday. Bill welcome back, everyone, special edition of bill hemmer report. Mark meredith in raleigh with a look at how the final day of early voting is going in the tar hill state. Mark final day of early voting. It is wrapped up and we are still waiting to get an idea of what the turnout was like statewide but the numbers, bill, they have been incredible on the ground in North Carolina. The latest update from the state showing already some 900,000 absentee ballots sent back in and some 3. 4 Million People also taking advantage of that early voting. The real clear politics average in North Carolina does show joe biden leading but by a slight margin, less than 2 per kennage points and we have seen the lead shrink in the last couple of days as voting wraps up and we are seeing lastminute surge of surrogates, highprofile republican Vice President mike pence.
