Less than 100 hours until election day. You heard me. And the United States reaching a terrible milestone tonight as covid19 rages out of control. More than 87,000 cases, the highest single di of new cases since this pandemic began. President trump and joe biden both campaigning today in florida, a crucial state with 29 electoral votes at stake. Trump holding a packed rally, downplaying the virus. Biden slamming trump for holding a potential super spreader event, and confidently telling supporters if florida goes blue, its game over for trump. I want to go to the candidates path to 270 electoral votes. John king is at the magic wall to lay it all out for us. On . A lot of new numbers from the Battle Ground states. Lets start in florida. Why . Joe biden and the president are both there campaigning today, and for all the new normal in our life, here we go. Florida, the end of a campaign, this is normal. A poll relatively close. Joe biden on top in this new pole, 50 to 45 in the new monmouth poll. When you average that in with other recent polls out of florida, joe biden is still on top on average with 49. President trump 46. What does that tell you . Democratic advantage. But florida is tight. Donald trump absolutely needs it like he had it in 2016. Lets go back to this map. President trump needs these 29. Joe biden would love them. And as he said today, gym over if he gets them. But he doesnt need them close at the end. Lets move back out and look at the 2016 map, take a lock at other battleground polls today. The 2016 map helps give them context. Number one, ohio. Joe biden with a fivepoint lead in ohio. If joe biden can win ohio, forget about it. No republican has won the white house in modern times without ohio. Thats really interesting, especially given bidens strength. We know in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. A new poll in pennsylvania, a sevenpoint biden lead there. Thats been consistent for some time. Iowa, 47. Very close in iowa. Thats a must win for the president. Again, North Carolina close. 4845. Two or threepoint edge even when you average them out in North Carolina. And i mentioned the florida poll here. The question, especially if youre a democrat is youre viewing this glass half empty or glass half full, here is what i mean. If we switch maps and go to the race at 270, lets go through the states. Joe biden at 290. He already if nothing changed would be the next president of the United States. But five days left. Things could change. If joe biden won, if that ohio poll was right and he won, if he came back to win in iowa where that poll shows him down one, forget about it. We dont even have to worry about florida, g, or North Carolina. It would be game over. Joe biden would be above 300. But what if it is 2016 all over again, and that close poll in iowa, joe biden was ahead but the president comes back . President gets iowa back. The president gets North Carolina back. He is down three now. He was down three around this time last time. Lets say he holds georgia. Again, democrats are confident in all these place, and lets say the president gets florida, democrats, they have a chance in all of these places. It doesnt mean they win them all, but theyre competitive. What if it breakses late for the president like it did four years ago . Then were in a very interesting ball game. 290247. That would make this giant. The president would still need more. Pennsylvanias 20 wouldnt be enough. But if he could come back in these states in the final days, there would be a big fight there and then a little bit more. Thats why we wait five day, don. Thank you, john. Did that make you feel any better . Its going to be all right. Its going to be all right. So, again, our thanks to john king. But michigan is one of of those battleground states that john just mentioned. President trump won the states 16 electoral votes in 2016, and he is fighting hard to win them again. Yet, with just five days to go, cnn rates the wolverine state leaning democratic. Vice President Biden taking no chance. He is heading there this weekend with former president barack obama. Joining me now is michigan governor gretchen whitmer. Governor, thank you. So happy to have you here. I know its a very busy time for you. So i appreciate you joining us more than ever. Vice President Joe Biden is leading in cnns poll of polls in your state, michigan. Former president barack obama expected to join biden on the trail there this saturday. You confident voter theres can deliver your state to joe biden after going for trump in 2016 . Well, ill say i feel god about the prospects. But we leave nothing to chance. Were working really hard. Weve got a great organization. Donald trump won michigan in 2016 by just under 11,000 votes. I won two years later by over 400,000 votes. And that tells me when people turn out, it is good for candidates like me and good for candidates like joe biden, who want to make some real improvements in our nation that to the benefit of every working person in this country. Governor, i have to ask you about this michigan judge that struck down the secretary of states ban on the open and carry firearm thing at the poll, at polling places on election day. The attorney general is expected to appeal. Are you concerned about people there bringing guns to the polls . Well, i think one of the low points of whats been an incredibly challenging eight months of course is the depictions of people with arms at our state capitol. I know a lot of people around the country were scratching their heads wondering why on earth can we bring weapons into our capitol . And you cant in most. And i think its a legitimate question. The fact of the matter is voting is a fundamental right. Its core tower democracy. And we have a duty to make sure that every voter can go with in a convenient way and cast their ballot and know that theyre going to be safe in diagnose that. So the secretary of state and attorney general are pursuing that. But i think its important to recognize that we have laws on the books right now that say you cannot intimidate someone as they go to the polls. And we will make sure that the law upheld. So intimidation a form of suppression. Are you concerned about any attempts to challenge the vote counting or the legitimacy of ballots . And is your state prepared for that . Well, it certainly would lead you to conclude that the president and his supporters are laying that groundwork. And the fact of the matter is we have run elections since the beginning of this country, and even more challenging times than we have right now, and theyve had integrity, and we can be confident in the outcome that the will of the people is respected and a peaceful transfer of power. And were going to make sure that that happens in this one as well. I want to talk to you about the pandemic, and im going to put this chart up. Because this chart shows covid cases surging in michigan. Listen, i know youre very aware of this. The state is recording its highest sevenday average for new daily cases. What steps are you taking, governor, to stop it . Well, don, i have been working incredibly hard here in michigan, even though the federal government eight months and still does not have a National Strategy. We in michigan pushed our curve down dramatically. It was because we took aggressive action. We followed the science. We did what we needed to do. But of course when donald trump started taking aim at me, my legislature started suing to undermine my powers. And while i won in the first two courts that. Won in the Supreme Court on a party line vote, and that ruling has created a lot of confusion. Weve seen people drop their guard. Weve seen people use it as an excuse not to mask up, even though we still have statewide law that we do need to mask up. This confusion and the mixed messages coming from the Trump Administration and the lack of a National Strategy has made it harder for governors like me to try to contain this virus that is have valujeting our nation and having dire consequences on our lives and our livelihoods. Lets talk about the possibility of people copping after you. You say the president taking aim at you in a verbal sense. But two men have been charged in michigan relating to their alleged involvement in a White Supremacist Group called the base. Just weeks after 13 men were charged for domestic terrorism for what Law Enforcement calls a plot to kidnap you. Is there an extremism problem in michigan . What is going on there . Well, i think sadly what we are seeing is something that has been there for a long time, and not just unique to michigan. We know that this is a problem in our country where there are fellow americans who are intent on terrorizing and hurting their fellow americans. And we need to call it domestic terrorism, which is exactly what it is. I think that its an important moment that we need people of goodwill on both sides of the aisle to take this on. When the plot was announced against me, i did make a statement shortly thereafter, and i quoted reagan, because i do think that its important for us all to acknowledge that domestic terrorism threatens the fabric of our democracy. And we need leaders on both sides of the aisle to take it on. You know, Ronald Reagan gave a speech to the naacp when he was president that called it out, called it what it was and said it was not acceptable in the United States of america. And its time that leaders on both sides of the aisle do that as well right now. Listen, i want to be honest with you. I know these are really tense and emotional times for almost everyone in this country. And having spoken about what you just spoke about, i know there is only so much you want to speak about. You may not want to address this at all, but how you feeling as we are leading up to this very momentous day about your safety, having had that plot against you, what Law Enforcement calls a plot to kidnap you . You know what, don . I have a job to do, and i take my job seriously. This should not be a part of it, having to worry about my personal safety. Dr. Fauci shouldnt have to worry about whether or not he is safe. Leslie live stahl shouldnt have to. In fact, all of the people who dedicate themselves to either reporting the news or saving lives by following the science and counseling people like me, none of us should have to deal with that. And we deserve better as a nation. Ive never lost sleep based on worry about my personal safety because ive got the Michigan State police thankfully. But the fact of the matter is what i do lose sleep over is we have an administration in washington, d. C. That has never gotten their arms around covid19. There are 225,000 americans who have died, tens of millions who are unemployed, people in food lines who never imagined that they would have to do that. We are in crisis as a nation. And it is my hope that we elect an incredibly decent person with some expertise and some empathy who has got a plan to get us out of this mess and get us back to work, and thats joe biden. Governor, be safe and well. Thank you so much. Thank you. Now i want to get to the breaking news in el paso, texas, where the county judge is ordering a twoweek shutdown of all nonessential businesses due to a massive spike in coronavirus cases. Here we go. As of today, there are more than 14,350 cases and the covid hospitalization rate is at a staggering 44 . Lets discuss now. Judge ricardo of El Paso County joins us now. Judge, i really appreciate you join us. I know its a very busy time for you. Your county has never seen this level of infects. Youre warning that if the community doesnt respond, there will be an unprecedented or understand present dented levels of of death. So tell us about the stayathome order thats going to go into place and what you guys are doing there. Well, thank you, don. Appreciate being on cnn and really appreciate the opportunity to highlight a better image of el paso, because, you know, were a community thats coming out of a tragedy of the walmart tragedy and going through a healing process. Were able to accommodate almost 150,000 refugees coming through our community. We started the pandemic on the right foot. You know, when we focused on Public Health as being the most important and then minimizing the economy, thats the way we were able to get into opening the economy. For some reason, offensive been sort of fighting with the governor, trying to have a buffer, trying to see us as a unique community. We were almost symbiotic with great neighbors to the south. Were right up against new mexico. A very unique situation. And there is this tendency to believe that what happens in san antonio and houston is what happens in el paso. Theyre almost like el paso blind. We know what you need. So what ive been fighting is that opportunity to give our Community Leaders the advantage of saying we live here. We live with this situation. We know what to do. But its been very difficult, don, to really have that kind of an alignment with the governor. He has been exceptionally generous in providing the sources for testing and contact tracing, all of these things. So there is two buckets. One is fighting the people that already have the virus. And then there is this other bucket as to what do we need to do to prevent the virus. And i think thats where were having our differences. Well, lets all this is happening, as you know, in the middle of a very consequential election or elections, and theyre considered essential service, right. But you concerned people who plan to vote in person will be reluctant to go to the polls, judge . You know, one of the things that was very important is the timeliness. And people say well, why not wait until wednesday . When i approached the medical community and i said that i was very concerned about the elections, although election director has done an amazing job. We feel very prepared. We feel there is not going to be any barriers, and the stayathome order really doesnt trigger any problems or issues for the people that are voting. I did consider that. But were at such a crisis, don, say were going to weight five to six days would put news a very critical situation. Right now were having to come up with tents with negative pressure there at the hospitals. Were looking at possibilities of flying people out to places like phoenix. Were looking at the Convention Center as a possibility to repurpose it for a hospital. And then the pell profession tells me that this trend from five to ten days, we would have exhausted those resource, and wed be right back to the same situations. So thats pretty alarming to be in that situation. And ive been looking for collaboration from the governor. And its been difficult. Its been difficult that he does understand this uniqueness. Ive tried to focus on the fact that we have this great dynamics between mexico and us. This is one its the same dime miblgs. Were just dealing with a different phenomenon. What they want to do is say lets focus on juarez as being the issue or focus on el paso. Im trying to be not as simplistic about the approach. We hope that your approach works. This is really staggering information. It is. Judge, best of luck. Take care of yourself. Be safe. Well hope to have you back with much better news in the coming day. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. You do a great job. Thank you. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. So like i said, less than 100 hours to go until election day. Can you believe that . The president and joe biden are making their closing arguments in the days, the hours i should say winding down. And their strategies couldnt be more different. We are going to defeat the marxists and the socialists and the rioters and the flag burners and the left wing extremists.

Less than 100 hours away. Coronavirus cases surging all across this country. More than 87,000 cases reported just today. That is the highest single day of cases in the u. S. Since the pandemic began. So hearing the candidates talk about the virus today really sums up this race. We locked down. We understood the disease, and now were open for business. He is doing nothing. Were learning to die and donald trump has waved the white flag, abandoned our families and surrendered to the virus. So lets discuss now. Kiersten powers is here, cnns senior political analyst, and mike shields, former chief of staff to Reince Priebus at the rnc. So god to see both of you. Look at you, youre in florida. Mike, youre in d. C. I am. So mikes got his finger on the pulse. But im going start with kerstin anyways. Coronavirus cases are at a record high in the u. S. Anyway. Its as if President Trump has two opponents right now, joe biden and the way he has handled this virus. I think the coronavirus is something that has impacted this race. I guess well really never know what had happened had the pandemic not have happened. But we have seen since the pandemic started and really got out of control, weve seen voters moving from trump in particular, seniors who are very important to his election last time around, and a lot of them are citing concerns about how the pandemic has handled. I think that he has kind of doubled down on this strategy of painting america as this kind of going to turn into this apocalyptic communist antifa kind of rioting place if joe biden takes over. Well see if the strategy works. But that seems to be where he is. I want you to weigh in here. Youre in florida. Florida is crucial to the president s path to 270. Ive been speaking with you over the last couple of weeks. Youre pretty confident about his chances in florida. That alone is not going to be enough, am i wrong there . Well, of course. He has to have a path to 270. It includes florida, and republicans feel really god about how things are going in florida, particularly with the early vote numbers that are succeeding very well for republicans. And especially in south florida, where democrats are complaining that they really have no ground operation whatsoever in south florida, and republicans have a larger lead in south florida at this point than they did in 2016. Republicans feel god about florida. Look, on the issue of covid, the president is casting everything in these big stark things because its all about turning voters out, because its what were talking about. He has made the case we need to open up the economy. He managed to cast joe biden adds the shutdown guy. They see that as an advantage for them heading into the poll because the country doesnt want to get into a a shutdown again. Even with the rallies, though, mike, with the very little well, no social distancing, but very few masks. Go on. Go ahead. Well, look, they hand out mask. They have testing people. People are coming. At this point people understand the dangers of covid and coming to an outdoor event, and theyre doing that themselves. And that is kind of the point of the president. A freedom, lets open up the economy, lets make sure people get their jobs become as opposed to lets shut everything down and be afraid all the time. Look, the voters are going to decide how they feel about that. There is a tremendous number of americans. The thing is it really splits along income liefnlts when you have lower income, youre more likely to say let me go back to work. When you can afford to do zooms like this at home because you have a white collar job, youre more likely to say shut everything down. Just like every other thing in the country, it becomes incredibly polarized. President trump has said these are my voters and im going to represent them. I was laughing at kirstens face. You had this pained look on your face, kirsten. Go on. I dont think its its not like democrats or joe biden or doctors support shutting down the economy like its some gleeful fun thing that people are doing. People want to stop the pandemic, and they want to stop people from dying. He said he doesnt want to shut down the economy, by the way. No. Nobody wants to shut down the economy. Thats the point. What people want is for us to be able to get past. This and to get past this Everybody Needs to do what they are supposed to do which is wear their masks and get social distance. I think that this is something that joe bidens very concerned about. But, you know, and look, if trump wants to double down on that message, thats fine. I mean, i think mikes right in the sense that it is right now everything is about turning out your voters. And if thats whats going to turn out trump voters, you know, then he is welcome to make that argument. Its not going to help us get past the pandemic. But its also very dangerous. We have to be honest about that. Listen, i think mike is right thats it all about turnout. But what he is doing, encouraging people. People cant even have concerts now. Theyre forbidden. Yet he can have these masked rallies. It is what it is, as they say. Thank you both. I appreciate it. See you soon. More than 8100 Million People have already cast their ballots this year. Who could be driving that huge turnout. Plus, a Georgia Senate seat turns even more heated. Im going speak with the democrat looking to unseat the republican senator perdue. Perhaps senator perdue would have been able to respond properly to the covid19 pandemic if you hadnt been fending off multiple federal investigations for insider trading. Beautiful. But support the leg when i started cobra kai, the lack of control over my business made me a little intense. But now i practice a different philosophy.

Another lifechanging technology from abbott. So you dont wait for life. You live it. So major developments over the last 24 hours in the hardfought state race in georgia between republican incumbent david perdue and his democratic challenger jon ossoff. Tonight senator perdue announcing he is not going to show up at the final debate with his challenger. Hed rather go to a big rally with President Trump. Why would senator perdue prefer playing to the crowd at a friendly trump rally over a chance to debate his challenger, maybe win some folks over . Maybe this moment from last nights debate between the two explains why. Well, perhaps senator perdue would have been able to respond properly to the covid19 pandemic if you hadnt been fending off multiple federal investigations for insider trading. Its not just that youre a crook, senator, its that youre attacking the health of the people that you represent. You did say covid19 was no deadlier than the flu. You did say there would be no significant uptick in cases. All the while, you wore looking after your own assets and your own portfolio, and you did vote four times to end protections for preexisting conditions. Four times. And the legislation that you out the, the protect act, it includes loopholes that specifically allow Insurance Companies to deny policies to georgians with previously existing conditions. Can you look now in the camera about and tell the people of this state why you voted four times to allow Insurance Companies to deny heart because we nay suffer from diabetes or Heart Disease or have cancer in remission. Join egg many now jon ossoff. What debate that was. Do you think this is good or bad news that senator perdue is cancelling your final debate . Well, last night didnt go well for the senator, and this is not a guy accustomed to being asked tough questions. He hasnt held a single public hall town meeting in years. He is notorious for selling access. The guy sells lavish private island retreats to lobbyists for 7500 corporate pack checks. This whole i got to go to a trump rally thing is a pretext. Im available to debate senator perdue any time, anywhere. He just doesnt want to answer tough questions about his personal financial misconduct, about his disastrous performance during this covid19 pandemic, assuring us this was no deadlier than the ordinary flu, while he rearranged his stock portfolio to profit. And his record on health care, trying to take Health Care Away from his own constituents in the middle of a pennsylvania. As we noted, youre in the midst of a very tight senate race. Whats the impact of having two contested senate seats where democrats are competitive and a competitive president ial race in red state georgia . Well, georgia is the most competitive state in the country. As you mentioned, were the only state with two senate races that wants them. Im running alongside the Senior Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist church, the other democrat in the race. We have all of the momentum here. But we have got to turbo charge our turnout efforts in these final day, especially because we still see that black voters are being made to wait outrageous durations in lines at the polls to work. Our Voter Protection efforts need support. We can defeat senator david perdue in georgia, and he deserves to be defeated. But in order to do that, we need the resources to protect ballot access. Chip in a dollar to help us finish the job in georgia, protect Voting Rights and win these two Crucial Senate races. I just want to put this up for our viewers. This is a spokesman from senator purdues office. As lovely as another debate listening to jon ossoff sounds, senator perdue will not be participating in the tv debate but will instead join donald j. Trump for a huge get out of the vote rally in northwest georgia. That was their official response. Thank you. I appreciate you. Best of luck. Well asked senator perdue to join us tonight, but he was not available. Followup on the races around the country. Silence is not an option.

Voter turnout, its a key, and its soaring in this election, and its a major driver. The major driver is young voters. Can you believe that . Now i know that every elect we talk about young voters and how they can make a difference, and almost every election they just dont show up. Are you hearing me, nieces . Its like our conversation almost every day, our texts, and they get so mad at me. I want you look at what theyre telling thus time. The young folks. 90 of registered voters under the age of 40 say they are certain to vote. Compare that with 75 during the same time period in 2016. And who are they supporting, you might ask . According to an average of recent cnn polling, 62 of likely voters under 40 say joe biden is their choice for president , while only 34 say it is donald trump. But these are just polls, okay. What about the votes . Lets bring in now cnn senior Political Writer and analyst harry hinton. Harry, okay. I hear it every time. Ill believe it when i see it. Look, i would love to see it, honestly, i would. But ive been around a long time, as have you, and they just dont show up. Those are the polls. But there is 81 million votes that have already been cast. What can you tell us about this youth vote turnout so far in this election . Sure. If you look nationally, what youre seeing amongst those early voters is those under the age of 40 are making seven or eight points more of the electorate than they were at a similar point in the 2016 cycle. Youre seeing it nationally, but also seeing it in the state of texas. Thats a state im really looking towards to understand the early vote. And what you see there in the state of texas is that those voters under the age of 40, specifically those 18 to 29 are making up a much larger share of the early vote than they did four years ago. Its 13 this year. If you compare that to 2016, what you see in that particular year, it was only a little less than 8 . So youre seeing that climb in the early vote both nationally and in a key state like texas. Okay. So 90 of registered young voters under the age of 40 say that they are certain to vote. All right. Compare to 75 during the first time. 5 said they were, but that doesnt mean they voted last time. 90 this time are saying that theyre going to vote. That doesnt mean theyre going to vote this time. Am i correct . These are polls. But we do see mitt the early vote. The thing is there is no reason to believe this time theyre lying more than they did last time. Thats why i like the preelection poll comparison. Last time they had more distractions. This time there is nothing. They cant go to the theater. There is a lot of things. So maybe they will actually take some time and show up. Yes. I think thats exactly right. And thats what you saw in the 2018 midterms, right . You saw that Younger Voters made up a larger share of the electorate in 2018 compared to 2014. So this strikes me as a trend line that were seeing from 2018 right through the early vote. And the polls are reflecting that. So harry, what happens to the dynamic of this race . Because we always say if young people vote, they could really make a difference and they could change things in this country, right . What happens to this dynamic of this race if the youth vote ends up becoming a bigger percentage of the electorate, even by just a few points . Right. Nationally, the age differences are not as large as they were, say, four years ago. You see joe biden is doing better with seniors. Lets say 18 to 29yearolds, or 18 to 39yearolds made up 5 percentage more of the electorate, that might only change the race by a point. Now a point can make a big difference, right . But go to a state like texas, which we brought up earlier where there is a much bigger difference between how the younger folks are voting and the older folks, then you could be talking one, two, three Percentage Points depending how much larger the youth vote makes up of texas. And that could make a huge difference attend of the ball game. You heard it from harry hintons mouth. There it is. Now it is law. Thank you, harry. Maybe its law, but whatever it is, it is. It is what it is. Thats all ill say about it. Thank you so much. Ill see you next time. See you later, vote like your life depends on it. Thats what George Floyds brother wants you to hear.

My brother narrated his death. It was just like a cinema movie. The whole entire time they was killing him. My son didnt harm anyone, and got shot seven times in the back. The families of jacob blake, Breonna Taylor, and george floyd, are sitting down for the first time together. Unfortunately, were all in a fraternity that we didnt ask to be in. Everyone sitting in front of you, right now, love that person unconditionally. Yes. There was no question how we felt about the person that got the atrocity committed upon them. I feel everyones pain, right here. Reporter but they all say their collective sorrow has created a source of strength. Your vote is worthy and, most of all, we are worthy of justice. Reporter their purpose is singular. Getting justice for all. Their method . Simple. Casting a ballot and helping others do the same. Protesting. Its amazing. But unless you take it to the polls, it will be all for nothing. Good afternoon, chicago. Reporter that is why theyre all gathered here, in chicago. Speaking up, even though they must be masked up due to the dangerous rise of coronavirus cases. Is the most consequential election that we have had in your lifetime, 2008 . 2016 . Or 2020 . Definitely, 2020. Why . Nothings changed, for us. So this becomes the most important because we have a misogynist, racist person in the highest job in the land. And im proud to be an american reporter President Trump has repeatedly called himself the least racist person in a room. For them, too ludicrous to be believed. But the families are focused, not just on the president ial race but local, political races. I see the chain that one can have if you pick the right one. They are also laser focused on racial tension they say has heightened during the trump era. Is race or racism on the ballot in 2020 . Its been on the ballot. Hey, when this leader we have, when he stepped in office, it seemed like everybody got emboldened. And they really showed who they really are. People just started doing anything and getting away with it. Reporter as for policing, the issue that changed their lives, in an instant, they want bad police rooted out but they dont want to abolish the police. Should the police be abolished as a whole . No. They shouldnt be abolished, as a whole. It just you got bad apples. Just point out these bad apples. They definitely need to be dismantled and put back together. Its not that we dont need them. You heard what she just said, right . Dismantled. And put back together. Reporter they say their own lives have been dismantled, and theyre trying to put them back together. And to these families of the movement against police brutality, voting for change is everything. If you dont get out and vote, you gonna just be back, looking at the same people who did the same things, horrific things, all over again. And you will never get laws past. Your life depends on it.
