Its two separate events here, but also why this is such a huge move for the campaign, mere. Reporter well, gene, its proof of just how important the election. Both president ial candidate Hillary Clinton and the 42nd president of the United States bill clinton are here to urge bay area voters to cast their ballots early. The most recent nbc poll has donald trump and Hillary Clinton deadlocked in florida and the tampa bay area is key to winning our state. For days the clintons have been barn storming ohio, another state where she and trump are running a tight race. Last night clin of her speech on trumps inabilities to be commander in chief, attacking his relationship with russia and warning about how hed handle nuclear weapons. These are weapons today far more powerful than the bombs that destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki during world war ii. To talk so casually, so cavalierly about mass anilation down on the economy, stressing Hillary Clintons plans to help the lower and middle classes. Theres still too Many Americans across the board who look in the mirror every morning and think they dont have the power to make tomorrow better than today. That is a deadening feeling, and we gotta do something about it. Reporter the Clinton Campaign is trying to refocus on Hillary Clintons platform rather than the recent developments in her email scandal. Th thousands of emails found on a computer used by her top aide. Right now its unknown if any of those emails are new or copies of emails that have already been reviewed. Monday clinton dialed up her criticism of fbi director james comey, questioning the timing of the investigation and reiterating that she has nothing to hide.

The republican president ial nominee will campaign tomorrow in miami, orlando and pensacola, capitalizing on the email troubles rocking the clinton camp. We can be sure that what is in those emails is absolutely devastating. That was trump at a rally yesterday in michigan. Well, today the republican nominee will campaign in expected to be on obamacare. Trumps running mate campaigned in clearwater last night. Governor mike pence spoke to a crowd at st. Petersburg Clearwater International airport, undeterred by a power outage. Pence assured supporters hes in this race to win it. Dont be fooled. This race is on. And we are wheel to wheel, and we are leading in the latest polls in florida, and were gonna fight all the way to the checkered flag. [ cheers ] now, there was a slight about 10 minutes into the event the lights went out. Look at this. Pence improvised with a rolled up poster and a megaphone, while a small light was aimed at the podium. Well, the time right now is 5 38 on this tuesday morning, the 1st day of november.

Tickets will be just 10 for adults and 8 for kids over the age of 3. The crossbay ferry is the brain child of st. Pete mayor rick crisman who convinced the city council to toss in 350,000 to get this project going. Along with identical contributions from tampa, hillsboro county and Pinellas County governments. St. Pete also contributed another 100,000 in startup costs and to create this docking facility, all for it is a pilot test project, and i think commuters will give it a test. Its going because its a sixmonth project, so were not asking them to give up their cars. Were asking them to try a different way and to experience it for themselves.
