In a few minutes, well speak running mate, governor mike pence, and Hillary Clintons top strategist Joel Benenson. But we begin with Fox Team Coverage mike emanuel is with the Clinton Campaign in philadelphia. But we start with Senior National correspondent john roberts, whos in sioux city, iowa, a state president obama carried twice but trump has a good chance of flipping tuesday. John . Reporter good morning to you, chris. Yes, the real clear politics average of polls shows donald points here in iowa. Some tense moments last night in reno, when the secret service for the second time in this campaign leapt on stage to protect the candidate. The situation here, they actually whisked him off the stage after somebody at the front of the crowd started yelling gun. Apparently they saw a protester reaching for something in his waistband. They thought it might have been a weapon. Turns out that it was only a sign. The 33yearold was detained by the police, later released. Station that he is a republican who does not support donald trump, was simply trying to hold up a sign that said republicans against trump. Trump was off the stage for a few minutes but returned shortly thereafter, appearing none the worse for wear. We will never be stopped. Never, ever be stopped. I want to thank the secret service. These guys are fantastic. Reporter donald trump begins his day in sioux city, iowa. Its the first of ten stops in ten states that hell do here in the next two days. A lastsecond drive to try to get as many people out to the polls as possible. Trying to expand the electoral map as well, going into places like michigan, wisconsin, and minnesota. Also in virginia. But really, chris, when you look at the map, it comes down to six states. Donald trump leads in five of those six states. If he were to win those, win florida, in which hillary win maines second Congressional District, he would get to 270 on the nose and win. But consider this, chris. If he were to get all that and not win maines second Congressional District, it would be a 269 tie. Everyone talks about ohio, florida, North Carolina, pennsylvania becoming so important. This could come down to one Congressional District in maine. Chris . John roberts reporting from iowa. John, thanks for that. Now to the Clinton Campaign. Mike emanuel is live in has voted for the democrat in the last six president ial elections. But the polls are tightening there too. Mike . Reporter chris, after weeks of tremendous confidence, the Clinton Campaign is revealing some jitters about some typically blue states, including michigan. The Clinton Campaign has announced Hillary Clinton, the former president bill clinton, and president obama will all be making Campaign Stops there in michigan after seeing the polls event today in lansing. Tomorrow, president obama will try to get out the vote in ann arbor. And the democratic nominee will be in grand rapids tomorrow. That after both clintons spent time campaigning in michigan this past week. It is worth noting a republican has not won the great lakes state since 1988. Last night clinton had another big name entertainer helping her to rally here in philadelphia. Singer katy perry did a get out the vote concert for clinton. Clinton told supporters already more than 37. 5 Million People have voted and called on others to do their part. I believe they are standing up for a hopeful inclusive vision of america. And im asking you to stand up for that same vision when you come out and vote on november the 8th. Reporter it is worth noting that pennsylvania is another blue state that Hillary Clinton is spending a lot of time and energy here ahead of election day. Shell return here tomorrow night for a rally with the president and first lady on election eve. Chris . Mike emanuel reporting from philadelphia. Mike, thank you. Joining me now from another battleground state, virginia, is trumps running mate, indiana governor mike pence. Governor, its all about the numbers now. Lets take a look at them in the latest real clear politics average of national polls. Trump is down two points to clinton. Youre losing narrowly in some key swing states. Down just over a point in florida, down 2 1 2 points in pennsylvania, up less than a point in North Carolina. Theres no question that trump and you have tightened the race, but the fact is youre still losing. The question is, how do you go over the top . What do you do in terms of over the top in these final 48 hours . Well, ill tell you what, our secret weapon is the American People who are saying enough is enough. I mean, i was here at a rally last night in virginia. We had an overflow crowd that was bigger than some of the rallies that ive seen out on the campaign trail over the last several months as ive campaigned for donald trump. Of course, you see the tens of thousands of people coming out with donald trump. Hell have five rallies a day today and tomorrow across this coun America Great again all across this country. I think literally by the hour the American People are recognizing this election is a choice between change and the status quo. Its between a stronger, more prosperous america with donald trump and Hillary Clinton is someone who will continue the same failed policies that have weakened america at home and abroad. We feel tremendous momentum. This campaign is on offense. I do want to get to some specifics. Big numbers in a number of states. Florida, North Carolina, arizona, nevada. Are you worried that the polarizing remarks that your running mate, donald trump, has made since his opening announcement may come back to beat him . Well, you know, im really not. The truth is that hispanicamericans have the same concerns that every other american does. We want to get this economy moving again. We want our country to be safe. I waju last weekend. Saw overwhelming support for donald trump. Strong stand for freedom in this hemisphere, standing strongly against what the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton want to continue to do. So you think all those hispanics, sir, are coming out to vote for trump and not for clinton . Really . No, im saying that the American People want change. Thats americans coming from every category. I literally saw it. Coffee at a classic stop in miami. Karen and i had a hard time getting through the place with people that were enthusiastic about Donald Trumps stand for a stronger america at home and abroad, getting this economy moving, and repealing obamacare. I talked to leaders in that community who are feeling the crushing weight of obamacare. 25 increases in the premiums of obamacare, chris, in florida and all across the United States of america. The American People know we can do better. Washington, d. C. And i really do believe thats why youre seeing people from all across the spectrum, republicans, independents, many democrats, and people literally from every community in this country rallying behind donald trump more and more by the hour. Trump has been arguing that if clinton wins, that she faces a criminal investigation and an indictment. Here he is on the campaign trail. Create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. What a mess. I mean, we went through it with him with the impeachment, the lies. Arent we tired of this stuff . But governor, trump has no hard evidence that shes going to face an indictment. Thats overstatement. Well, Hillary Clinton and her foundation are under a current investigation by the fbi. We just found out this morning that she had her maid print off classified information, according to revelations in the new york post. The American People know no one is above the law. We commend the fbi for following the facts and reopening the investigation. But i think this is part of the way the American People need to count the cost in this election. Do we want more of the fast and loose ethics of the clintons want a clean break, drain the swamp in washington, d. C. , have fundamental ethics reform, and rebuild our military, revive our economy, repeal obamacare k and have appointments to the speak court that will uphold our constitution . This is all part of the equation that i think explains why you see such tremendous momentum in this campaign and why our campaign is literally expanding the map. Were on offense. Clinton campaign is literally on defense, trying to shore up blue states around the country in the waning days oth speaking of criminal investigations and draining the swamp, two of governor Chris Christies top aides were convicted of fraud and conspiracy friday in the bridgegate case. And given the fact there was repeated testimony in that trial that christie knew all about the effort to close the lanes to the George Washington bridge to punish a political opponent, are you comfortable with christie as the chairman of the trump well, what i would tell you is Chris Christie has continued to strongly state his position that he had no knowledge of those actions taken. And frankly, as he said late in the week, that what those convictions prove is that he was right to immediately fire those people for the actions that theyd taken. Look, all of our focus is on election day. I promise you. Were grateful for Chris Christies role in the campaign, and were going to all keep our a victory for the American People. So no chance hell be replaced after the election . I mean, youre standing by Chris Christie despite all that evidence . Look, theres no changing in personnel here in the waning days of the campaign. Were 100 focused on bringing home a great victory for the American People, and republicans are coming together, chris. I was yesterday with Speaker Paul Ryan in wisconsin. A couple days before i was with last night in virginia with ed galess my. Republicans are coming home and recognizing we need to elect donald trump as the next president , reelect a republican majority. The momentum is palpable out there. Im looking forward to jumping on a plane, heading to florida, North Carolina, and New Hampshire today. Donald trump is well, before you do that, governor, let me ask you one final question, if i may. Negative campaign. You talk about the party coming together. I want to ask you about the country coming together. I think youd agree, one of the strengths of our democracy is when the election is over, no matter how ugly, the loser graciously concedes to the winner and we all rally around the new president , whoever that turns out to be. Donald trump has said Different Things at different times. I want you to clear this up for us. Can you guarantee that if Election Night and if, and i repeat if, if donald trump should be the loser, can you guarantee that he will concede to Hillary Clinton and accept the result of the election and the judgment of the American People . Well, thanks for anticipating my answer. Donald trump is going to win this election. Hell be more than happy to accept the results. Can you guarantee hell put this behind us guarantee hell put this behind us chris, the campaign has made it very clear. A clear outcome obviously both sides will accept. But i think both campaigns have also been very clear that, you know, in the event of disputed results, they reserve all legal rights and remedies. But the truth is that this is such an exciting time in the life of our country. The way this country is going to come together is when we deliver the change that the american when we rebuild our military, were standing tall in the world, when we revive our economy, when we have a Supreme Court that upholds our liberty, and we see america growing and prospering again. When we see America Great again, america is going to be united and were going to move our nation forward. Governor pence, thank you. Thanks for your time, especially in this final weekend. And safe travels on the campaign trail in these last 48 hours, sir. Thank you, chris. Coming u top strategist Joel Benenson is here in studio f. And well check in with bill hemmer upstairs on the data deck with a look at the possible paths to the allimportant 270 electoral votes. As Fox News Sunday reports live from americas election and were back at fox news election headquarters in new york city. As the polls tighten just hours before election day, Hillary Clinton is fighting off Donald Trumps late charge. Joining me now is clintons top strategist, Joel Benenson. Welcome back to Fox News Sunday. As i pointed out to mike pence, while theyve tightened the race, theyre still losing, the trump side, but there are some numbers out there that are troubling to your side. I want to ask you about those. Trump voters strongly support him versus 65 of clinton voters. 63 of Trump Supporters are extremely interested in the race. For clinton, its 54 . And after news of the fbi investigation, 21 of independents are less likely to vote for clinton. Joel, there seems to be an enthusiasm gap, and the fbi investigation seems to be hurting clinton. No, i think there are a lot of ways to measure enthusiasm. Theres also a Washington Post poll. Historically. 56 of Hillary Clintons voter saying theyre voting for her as opposed to against her opponent. Kind of on par with people like al gore and george bush, bill clinton in 96. That same poll shows donald trump at 41 . That is historically and significantly lower than most president ial candidates. Do you think the fbi announcement, now a week and a half old, has hurt clinton . No, i dont. I think it obviously occupied a doors, we have had lines all weekend at our phone banks with people waiting to get in. Weve knocked on 2 million doors this weekend. I think where youre seeing the enthusiasm is in the early vote. Our people are going out to vote, where the early vote is going on. States like florida, states like nevada. Very strong numbers and not just with our base democratic voters, but we think were seeing a surge with suburban women, younger people, millennials, broadening our coalition. Okay. Having said all of that, has changed her game plan these last few days. I always say the most precious commodity in the last week of a campaign is the candidates time. She went to detroit to campaign on friday which is somewhat surprising. Shes going back there again to michigan, to grand rapids, on monday. Youre now running tv ads in virginia and colorado and new mexico. Those were all states that were off the board for trump two weeks ago. Going to michigan, by the way, is very consistent with our plan because michigan is one of states. No early voting. We have to make sure we get there in the last few days, keep people ginned up, getting them out to vote. Thats what youre seeing in some of these states. In terms of ads in states like virginia and colorado where we do feel weve got a winning margin there, weve had actually in the last two weeks a surge of resources, things have opened up for us. More money is coming in. Our digital fundraising has been great. People are supporting the campaign. And were going to put those to work because our job here is every statee donald trump to win makes his path narrower and narrower. Weve always wanted to be in a position where were not trying to thread a needle, were not drawing an inside straight, so were playing offense in all of our states. Lets talk about that. You heard me ask mike pence how does he get over the top. Lets go up to the data deck, up on the second floor here in our election headquarters, where bill hemmer is standing by to show us a possible trump path to 270 and then joel, well come back and talk to you on the its the mezzanine level. Weve super sized the billboard this year for 2016. You see all the states in gray on the map. Those are the states where its too close to call, the battlegr
