A concert in philadelphia. You ready to rock for hillary . When your kids and grandkids ask you what you did in 2016 when it was all on the line, i want you to be able to say, i voted for a better, fairer, stronger america where everybody has a chance at the american dream. This weekend, the two campaigns are taking very different paths to election day. Today, Hillary Clinton and tim kaine are targeting a number of states in an attempt to try to check mate trump. Michigan, not yet lit up on our board, is suddenly in play. Tomorrow clinton and president obama and bill clinton are all going to be saturating that suddenly into the battleground state. D donald trump and mike pence have no clear path. They are throwing spaghetti at the wall, trying to find some combination of new states, like minnesota, that will get them to 270 electoral votes. Of course, they still have to win the traditional battleground states, florida, ohio and North Carolina and find a couple of blue states to flip. Iowa looks good. Is it michigan . We have correspondents all over the campaign trail. We will begin in philadelphia where Hillary Clinton will be waking up this morning. Thats where we find our kristin welker. Philadelphia, whats this about . Reporter chuck, pennsylvania is a part of secretary clintons firewall. In order to win here, in order to win the white house, she has to get large margins of africanAmerican Voters in urban areas like right here in philadelphia. That was on display during that katy perry concert here last night. Clinton has made 16 stops to pennsylvania since the dnc. A lot of those stops aimed at energizing africanAmerican Voters. Consider this. President obama got 93 of the black vote here in pennsylvania in 2012. Clinton doesnt need to match that. Shes got to get comparable numbers. Its in other battlegrounds like North Carolina and ohio where she will be joined by lebron james. And to help her make her case, she has a million volunteers stretched all across the country helping to get out the vote. There you go. Now lets go to wilmingtowilmin North Carolina, check in on where donald trump will be with katie tor. Donald trump is visiting eight states in two days. They are taking a renewed interest in michigan where they say internal polling showed them in a dead heat with Hillary Clinton. Why . They say their jobs message is cutting across all demographics in that state. In order for them to get to 270, they believe michigan is absolutely their best path. If they do win that state, they can afford to lose pennsylvania where Hillary Clinton is currently polling in the lead. Also, nevada and New Hampshire. They are making a surprise visit to minnesota, a state that president obama won by eight points in 2012. But the campaign does concede that in order to win, theyre going to have to find a blue state and turn it red. Check . Katy, thanks very much. Now lets go to the swing state, perhaps the most important swing state of them all, florida. Its in orlando that were going. We like to say on this show, florida, florida, florida. Reporter it looks like this year as well. Early voting smashing all kinds of records. Just over this weekend, the democrats have started outpacing the republicans. Big reason, 200,000 more hispanic votes have been cast already this year than in all of 2012. A word of caution for Hillary Clinton. Shes behind where barack obama was in 2012. Thats why the president is coming here today, big puerto rican population. He wants to run up the score for her before election day. Because on election day, republicans tend to outvote the democrats. This is the last day of early voting here in florida. Including most of the big population centers. Make no mistake, chuck, looking like another heartstopping election day in florida. Sure does. Thanks very much. Finally, our final stop on the map this morning, its actually usually first stop of any president ial candidate, its in the great primary city of manchester, New Hampshire, where we find our own Andrea Mitchell who has been covering Hillary Clinton for decades. An andrea, what do you got . Reporter this is not the way Hillary Clinton wanted to finish up. Her plan to end on a positive note got upended by the fbi letter, forcing her to fight back. For the past week, everywhere we have gone with her, she habs ben reminding voters of every thing donald trump has said. Tomorrow night, the Clinton Campaign will take two minutes. They are paying for a commercial on nbc primetime and on cbs. Theyre hoping to reach 20 Million People. It will be all about uplifting, inclusive america. They are making it as we speak. Its going to include that stronger america theme. First, of course, tonight she will be in New Hampshire where voters famously are late deciders. Clinton will be introduced by the gold star father who the Campaign Says represents the very best of america and president obama coming back here tomorrow. Thank you. As we march towards election day, we can tell you that as of yesterday, nearly 40 Million People have already voted. We expect the total early vote turnout to be 50 million by tuesday. There are strong indications this weekend the hispanic vote is up sharply in las vegas and along the critical i4 corridor of florida. That would be very good news for Hillary Clinton. Joining me now is the chairman of the Clinton Campaign, john podesta. Mr. Podesta, welcome back to meet the press. Good to be with you. Talk about the good news on hispanic turnout. But you are having struggles with africanamerican turnout. We have seen indications North Carolina, georgia, ohio, michigan, that all that turnout among africanamericans is down in the early vote. I will put up a North Carolina stat here that shows it down almost 6 from the turnout in 2012. Why do you think you are having trouble motivating africanamerican vote . Well, look, all the way through the primaries, africanAmerican Voters came out for Hillary Clinton. We expect that again now. And were working very hard to make sure that happens. She is campaigning across the country in africanamerican communities. We have had the president out for us. You know, you are comparing us against the first africanamerican president running for reelection. We think we can hit those numbers. The president is helping us do that. But we built a different kind of coalition and a bigger coalition. You mentioned the historic hispanic turnout were seeing in floo florida, in nevada, where we feel good. Obviously, more work to do between now and tuesday. We have had College Educated women voting in higher numbers, voting for her in higher numbers. Asian americans voting disproportionately. So were feeling very solid going into this last weekend. But theres a tremendous amount of work to do. You brought up the president. I want to play for you a clip of an interview he did with reverend sharpton about motivating africanAmerican Voters to the polls. Take a listen. Michelle and i, we talk own the dinner table, we explain to our daughters, not everything is supposed to be inspiring. Sometimes you just do what you have to do. One of the things you gotta do right now is to make sure to vote for Hillary Clinton. Its not a hope and change election. I assume you would like the president to come up with another rational other than not everything is supposed to be inspiring . Look, were on the ballot on tuesday on the ballot in these early votes is what kind of country were going to be. As a president has crisscrossed the country, he laid that challenge to the voters on the line of what kind of country are we going to be. Are we going to build pep up op . Are we going to run a campaign of bigotry or are we going to run a campaign of inclusion and solving our problems and making the right investments for people as Hillary Clinton has proposed . She has done that all her life. Thats what the cause of her life has been is to fight for family and children. And thats what we think that voters who are now i think with enthusiasm coming out and voting for her will do. Chuck, we have a million volunteers. We did 7 million voter contacts yesterday alone. Thats the kind of enthusiasm i think that shes been able to demonstrate. Whats happening in michigan . How concerned are you . We saw the iowa poll numbers. You are clearly behind in iowa. Likely thats the one blue state for sure that trump is going to flip. Michigan, obviously, you are taking it seriously by sending secretary clinton and the president up there. Look, if we hold on to nevada, hold on to michigan, you know, then Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president of the United States. Most people vote on election day in michigan. So our schedule has been oriented to being in the early vote states in the earlier period of time. Now were going to michigan, to New Hampshire, to pennsylvania where they do it the oldfashion way, everybody votes on election day. We feel like we got a lead in michigan. We want to hold on to it. We think we can do that. Tim kaine yesterday in an interview said, people within the fbi are actively working to try to help the Trump Campaign. Do you believe the entire fbi announcement has been a benefit to the Trump Campaign and that there are forces in the fbi that are actively working against your candidacy . Look, i think what mr. Comey did nine days ago was a mistake. I think it broke with precedent. I think it was criticized by democrats and republicans. Including four im sorry, two former Deputy Attorney generals who served with him in the bush administration. I think it was a mistake. Is it a mistake that should lead to resignation . I never questioned his motivation. I just said it was a mistake. It broke with precedent. Theres a reason for the policy. It looked like that it was interfering in the election. I think the leaks that have been ongoing, which was what tim was referring to, is worrisome. I think the men and women of the fbi are doing a tremendous job out here across the country. But the leakers should shut up. Let me ask you a final question about wikileaks. I dont think anybody feels as if it being exposed the way your personal and private messages have been exposed. Explain what this has been like. You mean on a personal level . Yes, sir. Ive got a pretty thick skin, chuck. What i have worried about is to make sure that this is an unprecedented situation where a foreign power hacked my emails as working with wikileaks and assange to dribble them out in order to maximize the damage to hillary and to maximize the help to donald trump, who has adopted essentially Russian Foreign policy and rejected bipartisan u. S. Foreign policy. So its kind of an unprecedented circumstance. Look, my job is to make sure that were doing what we need to do to make sure that those volunteers are on doors, on the phones. Thats what were going to do to win this election. John foe decembpodesta, camp for the Hillary Clinton campaign, thats all the time i have. Thanks for coming on. Thanks, chuck. Joining me now, from the other side, is former speaker of the house and a current donald trump supporter, newt gingrich. Welcome back to meet the pre press. Chuck, its great to talk to you. Let me start with reading from a memo you wrote on behalf of the rnc earlier this year. Principles for planning the 2016 general election campaign. Your first two points, bullet points were, speaker gingrich, under words and ideas matter were this, the wrong words cripple or kill. The right big idea or ideas expressed in clear and simple language with the right tone can win campaigns. If donald trump comes up short, is it because he violated those first two bullet points in your in what you sort of set out there, words matter sometimes . Well, i think the reason trump is such a fascinating historic figure is he managed to encompass those points. He hurt his campaign at times by saying things unwise. At times he has been a historic figure. His use of large ideas, whether its make America Great again or drain the swamp, the speech he gave at gettysburg where he outlined item after item in his contract with the American Voters, his proposal for a new deal for africanamericans, which is more than any republican president ial candidate in my lifetime. So hes a funny paradox on the one hand he is one of the most brilliant marketers i have ever seen. On the other hand for a while, he was undercutting himself. If he had not done that, he would be ahead by ten or 15 points right now. As it is, he has had to make a comeback. Go ahead. No, no, no. Your turn. I am bemeebemused about the in hispanic turnout. Could it be donald trump could lose to look back and say he lost this election on the very first day he announced when he called when he insulted mexicans on that very first day . Because it does seem at least so far that the evidence is that activated the hispanic vote. You know, look, the other side of that coin, chuck, is could it be that Hillary Clinton when she loses will look back and say, i shouldnt have been a serial liar, i shouldnt have totally abused National Security and i shouldnt have used the state Department Office for personal corruption . I mean, shes got plenty of stuff to look back on if she loses. She was the one who was the front runner. She was the run who represented the incumbent president. Shes the one who spent 46 years of her life trying to become president. Now shes scurrying off to michigan. She didnt think it was in play. Shes lost ohio in addition to iowa. Thats two states that have flipped for sure. I think that she has a very long couple days here. Remember, trump brought into this election i was at a book signing the other night in georgia. 90yearold woman who had never voted in her lifetime. There are people trump is bringing into the game. Do you think when you look back on this election that the lack of unity inside the republican party, how much of that has been a handicap to his election . I look at a place like New Hampshire in particular where you dont even have the Senate Candidate kelly ayotte and the president ial candidate on the same page. 1,000 votes could flip New Hampshire. Thats exactly right. Thats one of the real challenges that we faced all year. The truth is, donald trump represented an outside grassroots populism that was furious at the republican leadership. When this campaign began, 63 of all republicans said they did not like their leadership in washington. And those are the people who nominated trump. Well, it turns out some of the folks in washington didnt particularly like having what is in effect an outsider populist hostile takeover of the party. I get that. Some of them would rather have Hillary Clinton win and have a left Wing Supreme Court and have the corruption continue rather than elect donald trump. I get that. The question for trump is, can he arouse enough voters to overcome these . My guess is he can. I think were going to be shocked how relatively few people there are who care about the never trumpers. Can i ask you quickly, you use the word let the corruption continue. Have we been too loose with some words . I say that because no. Look, theres actual corruption that is a crime and then theres sometimes we use that word to describe legal politics. Fair or not. Do you worry we have let language get too loose . No, chuck. I worry with all due respect to you as a person. You no you know were pretty good friends. I worry the elite media has blindly refused to tell the truth. Every foreign gift, foreign speech every one its a big charge. Its the u. S. Constitution. Theres a section in the constitution that says no one nor their spouse can take money from foreigners. She has to be guilty of 70 or 100 counts just on that one charge. Then you look at the people who came into the office by the way, the interesting thing about wikileaks is they showed us how corrupt the system was. She showed us people are being told you need to get them in because theyre giving to the foundation. I think the real corruption is the lack of the media being willing to be honest about how much lawlessness the clintons stand for. Now you have gotten me to my last sort of point here. Im trying to figure out, november 9 what do we do as a country on november 9 . It has been a rough election. I want to use your words. This is what you said in january of 2001, after another very contentious president ial election. You said the following. Most americans do not find themselves actually alienated from their fellow americans or fearful if the other party wins power. That was america 2001. Do you believe thats the case in january of 2017 . No. No. I think tragically, we have drifted into an environment where if hillary is elected, the criminal investigations will be endless. And if trump is elected, it twill be like madison, wisconsin, with scott walker. The opposition will be so hostile and so direct and so immediate that it will be a continuing fight over who controls the country. I think that we are in for a long, difficult couple of years. Maybe a decade or more. The gap between those of us who are deeply offended by the dishonesty and corruption and the total lack of hon he esty o clin
