75 of all precincts in florida are now reporting. Hillary clinton with the slight lead. She has 3,465,00 votes. Thats the early number in florida where polls closed just two minutes ago. 75 reporting. The state of florida right now, too close to call. 29 electoral votes up for grabs there. Donald trump has said if i do not win florida, i cannot win the presidency. We few minutes. The decision desk has also not been able to call the extremely important state of pennsylvania. The numbers arent yet in but, you know, pennsylvania surrounds itself in philadelphia. It is the Philadelphia Democratic machine that brought thousands out to try to win those collar counties around the city of philadelphia. Hundreds of thousands of votes lead expected for democrats there. It has been leaning toward democrats during this season but certainly voters will decide and pennsylvania has been showing in our exit polls to be very close tonight. It has not voted for a republican president ial candidate since george bush the 41st back in 1988. Many more to call yet. No call in the battleground state of New Hampshire. Were expecting this will be close. Only 5 of all precincts are reporting. 54 55 40 , a 15point spread right now. Dont Pay Attention because in New Hampshire, its very early. Just four electoral votes there but a potentially crucial state, especially for Donald Trumps path to 270 electoral votes. Hes been campaigning there. He needs it and badly. Were also waiting to call some of the other big swing states that closed before you joined us in the last hour. Ohio is close. Ohio, of course, a bellwether for republicans. Its called the last 14 elections. No republican has won the nation without first winning ohio. Right now, Hillary Clinton with early. Only 16 of all precincts in the Buckeye State reporting. Too early to call. North carolina, i should say, this is still ohio. Now North Carolina. 41 of all precincts now reporting. Hillary clinton with about a sevenpoint lead. It remains about eight points now in North Carolina. This has been a heavily contested state. North carolina will be decided in the difference between the cities, raleighdurham area, the charlotte area, Mecklenburg County, and then the rural areas, the rural will most likely go largely republican. The more city areas will go largely democratic. Not totally, but largely. And that will be the decision in North Carolina which is a battleground state, no doubt, and one in which both candidates have been campaigning and hard. Then theres the state of virginia, also already closed. Virginia with one quarter of all precincts reporting and donald trump with about a 13point lead or so, again, only 25 of precincts are reporting. The difference in the rural and the city. Its the counties around washington, d. C. , the area where so many government workers live, more liberal area versus the more rural areas of virginia. Virginia is a tossup state, has been for many cycles. Virginia too close to call. The state of georgia now, normally a red state, of course, but the population is changing in the state of georgia. Right now donald trump with a huge lead. 3 of all stations are reporting. Georgia. The atlanta area will tell us a lot here. That will go a lot more democrat if history is our guide. The more rural areas of the peach state to go to the republican, but georgia, too close to call. Now to some polls that have just closed now. 8 00 eastern time. The state of oklahoma is closed and fox news now projects donald trump wins the state of oklahoma. A reliably red state in no way surprising. Then to alabama, Alabama Always known to go republican. Which mostly means we dont have anything in yet from the state of alabama. On to mississippi. At one point, a long time ago in this session, somebody mentioned mississippi might when a tossup. Somebody was wrong. Mississippi is solid red and now the state of mississippi, the Fox News Decision Team now calls for the republican, donald trump. Almost nothing in, but has been called, the state of mississippi will go republican tonight. Then theres missouri. The state of missouri has just been called as well. This donald trump, Fox News Decision Team projects, excuse me, wins the state of missouri. Its just been called. The numbers arent on the board yet, but missouri goes to donald trump. The state of tennessee, the volunteer state with its cities, a lot of rural population area, but there was never much question about tennessee. Tennessee is reliably red. Has been and is. Only 1 in, but an enormous lead for donald trump in the early the republicans and donald trump. Off to the state of illinois, illinois has just been called as well. The Fox News Decision Team projects illinois goes to Hillary Clinton. The state of illinois and its electoral votes to her. Moving on to the state of new jersey, new jersey has just been called as well. A reliably blue state, though for a while a republican governor who few may know, its 14 electoral votes in the state of new jersey. Will now go to Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton the call for the state of massachusetts, as solid blue as they come, Hillary Clinton now projected to win by the Fox News Decision Team in the state of massachusetts. Then theres maryland, maryland which is solid democrat as well, and maryland already able to call, just moments after the polls have closed. The state of maryland and its ten electoral votes go to Hillary Clinton. The state of connecticut at this moment too close to call. Connecticut also reliably democratic. Seven electoral votes still up for grabs. Connecticut, but in delaware which is also reliably democratic, only three electoral votes, delaware will go to Hillary Clinton. According to the Fox News Decision Team. The polls closed seven minutes ago and that state, delaware, goes to Hillary Clinton. Washington, d. C. , where they complain of taxation without representation, where they have no voice in the congress, they do get a vote in the president ial race. They get three electoral votes and all three of those from the district go to h and then theres the stat of rhode island, tonight its just been called after closing eight minutes ago, rhode island goes to Hillary Clinton. Finally, state of maine, maine and its four electoral votes still up for grabs. The Fox News Decision Team has not yet made a call there. Lets recap some of those that closed in the last hour. Eastern time. Fox news projects donald trump will win the state of indiana. Hes up by just about 22, 23 points at this moment. Donald trump. In addition, the decision desk has called kentucky, the bluegrass state, reliably republican, and republican again tonight as donald trump, we project, will win the state of kentucky. And the state of vermont, fox news projects Hillary Clinton will win vermont and vermont three electoral votes will go to Hillary Clinton. Fox news also projects donald trump will win the state of west virginia. West virginia and its five electoral votes to go to donald trump. The decision desk has also ll South Carolina with its nine electoral votes. Those all will go to donald trump. And heres a look at the states each candidate has won so far. This is all the polls that closed at 7 00 eastern, 7 30 eastern and 8 00 eastern. All the ones that have now been called. Mississippi, South Carolina, tennessee, oklahoma, missouri, kentucky, west virginia, and indiana, all of those to donald trump. In the northeast. Massachusetts and vermont, maryland and new jersey, all of those going to Hillary Clinton tonight. Then we can move on to the latest in the electoral vote count. As you add all of those up, it is very early and it is very close. Hillary clinton with 68 electoral votes in the states weve been able to call. Donald trump with 67. Well be updating these numbers the moment were able to call new states throughout the hour and throughout the night. Now, of the night is the battle for the United States senate. It is very much up for grabs tonight. There is a belief that republicans have a chance of holding onto the u. S. Senate, but it is not a sure thing and far from it, it is up for grabs and the democrats could capture it. Were watching six races at this hour in florida. Marco rubio decided he would run for reelection at the last minute after losing the gop nomination. Even in his home state primaries. Hes facing democratic too close to call even with 80 of all precincts reporting. In New Hampshire the republican senator kelly ayotte facing the democratic governor, maggie hassan. This one had been close but in the late going, kelly ayotte has made a big serge. Only 6 of the vote are in. Were not able to call that. In pennsylvania, the republican senator pat toomey trying to hang onto his seat against the democrat katie mcginty. In illinois the republican senator mark kirk facing off duckworth. We have just called this. Tammy duckworth is the winner in the state of illinois for the United States senate. Now that is a pickup for democrats. Thats one pickup on the night so far for democrats. Tammy duckworth unseated mark kirk. Not all together surprising. We sort of expected this but in a world where you need to pick up five if youre democrat, theyve now picked up one. The first swing, the first flip for democrats has just happened. From mark kirk now to tammy duckworth. Missouri senator roy blunt in a very tough race against his democratic challenger, missouri secretary of state and the u. S. Army veteran jason kander. Many know jason kander ran a Television News ad and advertisement with himself blindfolded putting together an ar15 saying i want to see ray blunt do that. He has been a formidable challenger for roy blunt. We believe it was swing the late days to roy blunt. We shall see. The Missouri Senate race too close to call and still no call in the state of North Carolina where the republican senator richard burr is in a very tight race with the democrat deborah ross. 53 of all precincts are reporting. The republican incumbent is trailing at this moment at about 3 Percentage Points. Were not close to a call yet in North Carolina. This one is going to come down to the late, most likely the expect this North Carolina senate race will be close. Now, a look at the balance of power in the u. S. Senate right now. As i mentioned just a moment ago, theres been a pickup for the democrats. Democrats need to pick up five seats to take control. If trump wins the white house. But they only need four seatses to control if clinton wins because the Vice President is the tiebreaker. And tim kaine would be the tiebreaker for democrats. So heres new balance of power. This is of senate seats that are now won according to the Fox News Decision Team or that remain because they were not contested in this election cycle. Democrats right now have 40 senate seats. Republicans have 34. Based on all those weve called so far. Well be filling in the seats in the i should say the president ial races throughout the hour. Were less than 20 minutes away from the next poll closing in state of arkansas. Lets bring in our panel. Joining us from the clinton election headquarters in new york city is a clinton spokeswoman spokesman, brian fallon. Brian, great to see you. Center tonight, what are your feelings about what you learned thus far . Thanks, shep, for having me on. Were feeling very confident right now. While theres still a lot of data to come in, were outperforming president obama in 2012 in key battleground states, in wake county in North Carolina, in Fairfax County in virginia, which is a county that i think president obama won by 20plus points, we seem to be with a small percentage in so far. And then if you look at pennsylvania, weve seen reports today from city officials in philadelphia that they expect turnout to surpass the 2012 benchmark of 78 of registered voters turning out. So in the key bellwether areas of these battleground states, were seeing turnout where it needs to be. We think were on a path to 270 electoral votes tonight. Donald trump has already said if Hillary Clinton wins the state of florida, he cannot be the president. In florida. There appears to not be as great of turnout in the Miamidade County area among africanamericans as there had been during obamas last election. However, theres an enormous turnout of new voters, new voters mostly latino in and around Orange County, over in the ft. Lauderdale area. Where do you think florida is right now and how important is it . Well, florida i think is a musthave for donald trump. I think we should take him at his word because hes right. He needs to win it in order to get 270 electoral votes. D critical counties around the state, were seeing positive signs. So, yes, miamidade is a county that has already exceeded 2012 turnout levels. Weve seen a surge in the latino vote, help power that i think that thats something thats going to be a big story line throughout the night not just in florida but nevada, places like virginia in terms of also in a place, by the way, like North Carolina which is not known for its percent of the electorate that is hispanic but in early hispanic turnout during early voting in North Carolina. I think thats going to be a key story line throughout the night. The other key counties in florida right now, Palm Beach County is one where were rung ahead of obamas pace there. In Broward County before the polls closed tonight, they set an alltime record for turnout with more than 720,000 voters there. And then in hillsborough county, a key bellwether, the tampast. Pete region based on the early figures in there, were running ahead of president obama. He ended up winning it with 5 of the vote in 2012. Duvall county, jacksonville area, donald trump is underperforming mitt romney. From the panhandle to northern florida, to the corridor down in southern florida, it looks like we have positive signs all across the map in florida. 29 electoral votes that donald trump desperately needs. I think that gives us even further reason for confidence. Brian, are you tired yet . I got three hours of sleep last night. I think that was three hours more than Hillary Clinton did. Airport in winchester county around 3 30 a. M. , greeted supporters then was voting at 6 00. I dont think she took a nap in between. Shes tireless. We take our cues from her. Brian fallon from the Hillary Clinton headquarters tonight at in new york city. Thanks so much for being here. We love to check in with your people throughout the night. We wish you all the best. Absolutely, shep. Fox News Decision Team projects in the state of florida the marco rubio will win his senate seat yet again. 86 of all precincts are reporting. Marco rubio with 51. 5 of the vote. Patrick murphy, the challenger, 44. 9 of the vote. Marco rubio facing a man from a wealthy family, put about 5 million of his own money in there. Decided they werent going to put a lot more than that in. There was a time when it looked like murphy had a chance to to pull it out in the end. We dont know yet what the margin of victory is going to be. Marco rubio will return as the senator from the state of florida. That means that is not a pickup for a democrat. Thats hold for republicans. And that means democrats still need to pick up four more seats and not let any get away. Kelly ayotte may have something to say about that. Well be able to update the president ial race repeatedly and we believe well have some new calls in just a moment. The senate and the balance of power there v grabs. And what does tomorrow bring . Whoever wins this race, where does america head next . Its all part of our reporting on the fox broadcast night from fox news election headquarters in new york city. You bought a wig, a jersey, and overpriced nachos. Dont let sinus symptoms bring you down now. Get fast sinus relief with vicks sinex and get back in the game. Race for the white house is on. It is as close as it can be. The Electoral College count is almost even. 68 67 right now. Need 270 to win. Marco rubio has just been announced as the winner by the Fox News Decision Team in the state of florida and the president ial race is absolutely 100 tied in the state of florida right now. Would you look at these numbers . 28 votes now separate Hillary Clinton and donald trump with more than, or close to 8 million vots counted. Absolutely astounding. 48. 5 48. 5 . Florida is as close or closer than it has ever been. Donald trump has said i must win florida or i cannot win the presidency. The chance is still there. We could know soon. Florida is Donald Trumps second home, state which researchers in our brain room say holds the most importance for his campaign in this election. Steve harrigan live in south florida right now. Steve, man, its mindboggling how close it is. Everyone predicted it was going to be close. Floridas been close in the past and now its incredibly close, perhaps closer than ever before. One thing both sides agree on is just how important florida is. Tim kaine called it check mate state. If the democrats win, they say they can stop donald trump and trump, himself, who has a second home here says this is absolutely crucial to his path. 29 electoral votes he needs. What we have seen throughout campaigning by both candidates as well as their surrogates. President obama was down here time and time again. Really signaling the importance of this and seen tremendous passion on both sides from the Trump Supporters at huge rallies across florida, you saw thousands and thousands of people waiting all day in line. And now in the last weekend, the soles to the polls event, saw africanamerican churches, huge crowds as well, an incredible turnout. Early voting was huge. 6. 5 million p what we really could see when this is all told is the importance of the hispanic vote in florida. Four years ago they underperformed, under 50 . That is quite digit this time around. They are overperforming. More hispanics voted early in this election than voted in the entire election of 2012. So thats a key demographic. The two biggest groups, cubanamericans mainly here in south florida, traditionally more conservative, but puerto cubans, their numbers are rising each month through that economic turmoil on the island of puerto rico. They are coming here, voting overwhelmingly democratic. So really a battle for that hispanic vote taking place right in the center of the state. If the south is liberal and the north the panhandle is conservative, its right there along the i4 corridor where a razor thin battle will be won. Shepard, back to you. Appear, steve, your announcements about the latino community, the new Puerto Ricans, oath who are have come thats giving an edge to the democrats. And yet the africanamerican vote in south florida, Miamidade County and surrounding areas, that africanamerican vote is way down from the last election cycle. And that could give the balance it allows donald trump to have a shot in florida. Certainly for the democrats to win the state of florida they have to follow the path president obama did four years ago. He won the state by just 70,000 vote, a little over that. Less than 1 . Margins here in the south. In miamidade and broward counties. Huge margins among africanamerican voters and young voters. Initially in the early voting, those two groups have underperformed. We did see heavy voting in some of the big cities last two or three days of early voting. Heavy reports, too, in Broward County. A Record Number of ballots cast there. For the democrats to win, really have to perform well in these southern mainly democratic county, shepard, back to you. Steve [ fire alarm blaring ] [ indistinct conversations ] [ fire truck horn honking ] five pickup for the democrat means they take control. Fox broadcast Network Election coverage continues with Shepard Smith. This is a fox broadcast Network Election alert. Fox news now projects donald trump will win the state of alabama. Took a while to call it after the polls closed there. The reason for that is theyre kind of slow getting their numbers in from the state of alabama tonight. Le reporting. Enough to say only about 1,100 voters in, donald trump will win the state of alabama tonight. Quite easily. The decision desk called the Indiana Senate race, a bit of surprise to election watchers, not in recent days but a surprise. Evan bayh, democrats admit he bayh moved out of his district in indiana, asked his address, could not remember it, had not been back to the state very much and todd young called him on it loudly and often in commercials and todd young, fox news projects wils pick up the open senate seat in the state of indiana. Not a pickup for republicans, it was an open seat held by a republican previously. Polls have now closed in the state of arkansas. Arkansas for the republicans, for the president ial race, closed at 8 30 eastern time, 7 30 central. Arkansas too close to call. Solid republican throughout. Arkansas not called yet. Kentucky senator rand paul republican president ial candidate himself before dropping out of the race in february. Hes with us now live from louisville. Senator, fox news projects you congratulations. How do you and yours begin to put things back together with the Republican Party . It appears the senate is very much in question. Republicans could lose it. Could you be a leader in put things back together . I think so. Kentucky, a huge republican sweet, biggest victory in 100 years here. We defeated the democrat speaker of the house whos been in for 36 years. We are poised to take over the statehouse for the first time in almost 100 years. So kentucky maybe because were tired of the regulations. Clinton regulations killed the coal industry. No matter what the president is, its still going to be a fight over whether or not were going to let the president , whoever it is, regulate our businesses. You know, and i think really thats a big constitutional question. And there still will be battles in congress over that. The Republican Party, itself, senator, you got on to donald trump for talking about people and the way they look. The republican primaries. Youve suggested that he was not a kind of leader that your party needed. What is it that republicans are going to need to do now, and what will the Republican Center be . What will define the Republican Party tomorrow and going forward. I just finished myacceptance speech for my victory. I said we need a better, bigger, bolder party, more diverse party. I said from the beginning made my run at the presidency, we need to be more diverse, need more africanamericans, more hispanics. I spent time specifically campaigning in the africanamerican presinks in the western part of louisville in hopes of trying to get conversions and to the Republican Party and get people to believe that republicans do care about people who live in poverty and who have bad schools. And dont have economic opportunity. So i worked very hard to try to prove that, yes, republicans do care, but also electorally, thats how were going to, you know, we lost in illinois in a pretty big way. In chicago. You have to go out there and compete for africanamerican votes. And republicans havent done enough of it. And i think the party in the future to win nationally, to win the presidency again, will have to do that. Rand paul who win again his seat in senate from the state of kentucky live with us from louisville tonight. Senator, thank you so much. All the best. Thanks, shep. Ed rollins is with us, gop campaign consultant, Fox News Contributor. Served as National Campaign director for Ronald Reagans hes with us now. Where do you see things . Its a very tough, very close race. Obviously the democrats had great organization, turned out a lot of hispanic voters. Lot of Puerto Ricans in florida. Thats a very close race. Obviously it hasnt been called yet. Trump has to win that and move forward. He certainly matched that organization, that state, its a deadeven race. The key thing here is both senator paul and marco rubio who have won reelection, both said they werent going to run after they ran for president. Those are two Key Senate Races keep the senate. The indiana seat is also very important. If you keep it, theyre a large part of it. Very large part of it. Obviously its with a one or twoseat margin. Its very critical that they basically are willing to deal with the other side. Kelly ayotte up in the state of New Hampshire, that was a long, hard slog. How did that happen . A lot of money. Over 100 million. 130 million for a state thats four electoral votes. Its a gigantic sum of money. Thats m and reagan spent in 1984 to run a president ial campaign. Its enormous amount of money. Very hardly, you know, two very significant players. And we hope kellyanne its still close. The plea from republicans has been if Hillary Clinton wins the senate, wins the presidency, we need a check. If youre a republican, you need a check on that white house and it would be the senate and the house that would do it. How critical is the senate for republicans . Senate is critical. Otherwise youre going to lose some seats in the house. Going to get reelected as speaker in this contest. If its 50 50 in the senate or the democrats control the senate, any one senator is king. One senator can move off and take it and really have to have a loyal opposition on these big issues. So its critical republicans win the sfat. Do you have a sense of what the republican focus is tomorrow . Better be about hispanics, go back and read the previous analysis of four years ago. The autopsy. Because everything that weai he said in that autopsy, we didnt do. And obviously theyre paying the price for it tonight. I remember george bush talking about how civility doesnt end at the rio grande, donald trump talking about building walls there. A large part of the republican electorate has bought into this idea that we need a wall, that we need separation, that we need to be in large part an isolationist place. Thats not whats going to win votes in United States. Equally as important, you cant basically just talk about hispanic voters. Theres mexican voters, theres obviously puerto rican voters ricans now in florida and you obviously have cubans, very strong supporters, the younger generation. Puerto rican vote in florida now around tampa bay is really a very critical thing for democrats. Florida is very much up for grabs in the president ial race. Third largest state. The bottom line, california, texas is large, florida is a swing state. Its ten media markets. Its the ultimate media state. We have to hold it long term or were not going t you know the man.

As a Marriott Rewards member, i can embrace a world full of surprising moments. The new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. So no matter where you go, you are here. One minute before the hour on the fox broadcast network. The electoral numbers. Clinton 68. Trump with 76. House. Were a long way to go. Its the bellwether tossup states that are going to decide this. Right now, florida, ohio and North Carolina, too close. Way too close to call and those are the ones that are on Donald Trumps path to the white house. If its possible, it goes through those states. Joining us now is the Fox News Sunday host, Chris Wallace. As tight as they can be. Yeah, and while theyre swing states we should point out theyre almost mustwin states for donald trump. I told you at 3 00. No republican has won the florida since 1924. Only one democrat has won North Carolina since 1976. That was barack obama in 2008, and then he was taken back by romney in 2012. And no republican has ever been elected president without ohio. So you got to win all three states and even if he does, and he wins all the other romney states, that only gets him to 253, hes still 17 votes short of the presidency. Lets talk about those three states. North carolina is a between the cities, charlotte, Mecklenburg County, raleighdurham area, universities around there versus the rural areas. Theres a balance. Thats true in all of these places. The states are split. Like country is split. Split between men and women. Were seeing a huge gender gap split between the races. Split on education. And were seeing that i have to stay, florida is a surprise to me because, you know, ill give my opinion now that its hispanic vote. Were talking about maybe 20 of the electorate being hispanic. Many firsttime voters. Right. But look at these i mean, its florida. Were still within, like, a point. Were still within, you know, thousands of votes. Not hundreds of thousands of votes. And the reason appears to be though theres this enormous influx of new voters, firsttime voters who are hispanic, along the i4 corridor, also down in ft. Lauderdale, they were expecting a bigger turnout in duvall county around jacksonville. Theyve not seen that. One of the places that looks to be most disappointing for the democrats is the africanamerican turnout in Miamidade County. Its crucial there and the numbers are down. Yeah, again, as i say, that was a surprise to me. I expected that trump was going to lose florida and if you look at this map tonight, he has not lost a mustwin state yet. Nope. And, you know, its all within the margin of error. The fact all these three musthave states are too close states plus the romney states, hes at 253, 17 electoral votes away from the presidency. This is still wide open for him. Then we talk about ohio, obviously no one, republicans must go through ohio to win. John scott, our anchor, has been reporting from ohio throughout the day and the word out of ohio is turnout is down. The weather is not perfect there. They had hoped in the state of in the city of cleveland, for instance, Cuyahoga County for there to be a large africanamerican turnout. The last turnaround. This brings us to a bigger issue, the clintons challenge was try to recreate the Obama Coalition of barack obama was not on the ballot. One of the questions were seeing is can she get the africanamerican vote, can she get the Millennial Vote . She certainly is getting the woman vote, but can she put together all the disparate elements of the Obama Coalition and the answer is we dont know yet. If you are a president clinton in the end, if there is something on the house and the senate side. Republicans have made the case to republican voters, you must help us save this senate. Its very much up for grabs. Very much. Theres a net pickup, at least at this point, last i saw of one which is the one we expected, illinois, but toomey im sorry burr . No. In ohio. Portman. Portman. This is interesting because a lot of people were talking swing states that the republicans were going to be were going it be dragged down by trump, that he was going to be an anchor on them. We saw some republican, rubio in florida, portman in ohio who have run strong, aggressive independent campaigns have run ahead of trump and the nights already over. Theyve already been projected as the winners. So you can win and get ticket splitters and also todd young winning in indiana, thats an a lot of people thought that was going to be a flip to the democrats with evan bayh. No. So, you know, the republicans may live to fight another day in terms of control of this senate. It appears that they may, indeed. All those senate seats are still up for grabs. When you look at this in the main, chris, in the main, were talking about this election in a split, a different way than we have in election cycles past. The people who post trickledown economics who have been very successful from that period to and those who feel theyve been left behind are another. Theres also the split along gender gap. Theres the socioeconomic split. Theres the education split. These are fairly new in our election. Were not talking about evangelicals. Were talking about these other splits. Thats right. Socioeconomic. Its who you are. Not what you believe in and your sense of whos going to help you and what the solutions are to a lot of another interesting electoral map seems to be changing. Democrats i mean, georgia has not been called yet. Youre seeing because of the growth of africanamericans and the growth, particularly of hispanics, youre seeing some traditionally red states that may go democrat. Not yet definite but certainly youre headed in that direction and conversely youre seeing rust belt states that may be swaying more to the republicans because of the trump argument against trade and immigration. How do you see the next hour playing out . These big important swing states, florida, ohio, North Carolina, were going to have a better idea soon, but as close as they are now, if donald trump can get the three of them, he then has to figure out a place to flip somewhere out in the middle of the country, a state thats gone blue forever, hes got to have it. He could probably get a few states out west. Pennsylvania, colorado, he could take new mexico. Got to hold onto arizona. Its tough. As i say, if he takes all of in terms of the result, we dont know. In other words, if theres a decisive victory, if youre getting down i heard karl rove say a while ago, whats the difference . Its about 100,000 votes now in florida, 91 . A little over 1 in trumps favor, but, you know, if its such a flatfooted tie, youre counting votes one by one by one as we saw in 2000 and this thing might not be decided tonight. Calling all lawyers. Florida. Not yet. We shall see. Chris wallace from Fox News Sunday sunday. Make sure to join him. Chris, thanks. I hope we have a president. I hope we will, too.

At outback, steak and unlimited shrimp is back for just 15. 99 for a limited time. Try unlimited garlic herb butter, or crispy shrimp for just 15. 99. And let the bold flavors speak for themselves. With unlimited shrimp the race for the white house too close to call. Ten minutes before 9 00 on the east coast. Lets look at florida. There is an opening now with 91 of all precincts reporting. Donald trump pointplus lead there. 113,203 votes separate Hillary Clinton and donald trump. The republican, donald trump, with the lead in florida. Trumps campaign has said florida is a mustwin. An absolute mustwin if he wants the presidency. So far so good. Big picture of everything were watching, bill hemmer with the bill board and look at florida and beyond. Good evening to you. Years ago. Do you remember . Wow, we going back . What do you think . Possible. At the moment right now, shepard, this is a difference of 113,000 votes. Trumps at 4. 3 million. Clintons at 4. 1 million inching toward 4. 2. What is going on in florida tonight . Go down just a little bit and show you, all right . This is hillsborough county. This is tampa. See what trump is doing at the moment . A bit of an edge right now as we zero in on some of these counties. What we always talk about, whe we discuss florida, is where the balance of the vote is located. For democrats oftentimes its in the southeast. Broward, Palm Beach County. For republicans in the panhandle. They almost offset each other. Whats the counterbalance in between both . Oftentime its the i4 corridor, tampa, runs up through Orange County and orlando, goes up to Volusia County and Daytona Beach. And the trump team thought for a long time prior to this election romney flipped two states in florida four years sorry, two counties in florida two years ago. One was Volusia County, Daytona Beach area, flagler. Right now trump is doing better by about five points, Percentage Points now, than mitt romney did four years ago. That kind of action, shepard, thats keeping this race close here in the state of florida. Show you ohio at the moment, this is when were seeing. Too close to call. A difference of, do the math, 20,000 votes far. Thats what were seeing in the Buckeye State. Down here in North Carolina, we havent made a call on this, either. And for obvious reasons here. A lot of this vote is still missing here in the state. A lot of people thought, hey, if you win florida, you win the white house. You win ohio, you win the white house. Not so much this year. This is an interesting circumstance, shepard. It is developing in realtime. And we have not even gotten to the upper midwest. Michigan, minnesota, wisconsin. Stay tuned. Were about to find out. Yes, we are. Those three states and 11 others close in just seven minute heres on the fox broadcast network. If youre donald trump, you got to have florida. If youre donald trump, you got to have North Carolina. If youre donald trump, you got to have ohio. All of them are swing states. All of them are too close to call. All of them are possible. Big states about to close. All of those that bill hemmer just mentioned. The suspense will end as we found out whose efforts have paid off and whose have short. As our Election Night coverage this is a fox news election alert. Im Shepard Smith in new york. Polls have closed in 14 states across the nation. At 6 00 west coast time, 9 00 east coast time including the battleground states were watching tonight including colorado. Colorado with no precincts yet reporting. The fox news decision desk says it is way too early to call colorado. The polls have just closed as well in the state of arizona, a traditionally red state where theyve been much closer this year than previous contests, largely because of a larger hispanic population moving into the state of arizona. Its too close to call with nothing reported out of arizona. Hillary clinton trying to become arizona since bill clinton in 1996. Then theres the state of michigan where theyve had so many jobs issues. Donald trump has been hammering those issues since the beginning. Michigan has been blue since 1992. No republican has won since 1992. Donald trump has been making a push there. So far its paying off, Hillary Clinton with a slight lead, only 10 of precincts reporting. On to kansas, fox news projects even though Hillary Clinton is leading in the early 7 of all precincts reporting. In kansas fox news projects donald trump is the winner in kansas. Down in louisiana, constantly and reliably a red state, so far too close to call as we have no reports out of the state of louisiana. Polls have just closed, reliably red. In north dakota, the fox Team Projects with 1 reporting, donald trump will win in the state of South Carolina. Boards we have tonight, now south dakota, the Decision Team has made a call in the last few seconds, south dakota will go for donald trump. Republicans win south dakota yet again tonight. Moving to nebraska, the corn husker state, donald trump in a reliably red state, Donald Trump Holds nebraska and will win the electoral vote in the state of nebraska. In new mexico the race is still too close to call. A threeway race there. We have all three on the board. This is too close to call in the early going. The empire state of new york, new york has been decided. Less than 1 of all precincts reporting. More than 146 people were voting while i was in precinct 1 today at 6 58 a. M. Thats all thats insofar. The Fox News Decision Team is, clinton. Moving to texas, a state closer this year than in previous contests, only 55 of all precincts reporting. Only a 5 spread right now. Texas will not be the blowout it normally has been. Texas, fox news decision desk projects will go to donald trump tonight as expected. Moving to wyoming, dick cheneys home state, also reliably red, fox news decision desk donald trump will win the state of wyoming. He waiting to call, big bellwether states that will be so very important. This, i have just gotten a word from a number of democratic operatives, one who calls this in florida shocking. Democrats believed and have believed throughout the day that florida was in their hands, that Broward County, the i4 corridor with all of the new latino immigrants who are voting for the first time, as much as 20 of the electorate maybe latino would run away with it as a result of it. Why arent they . Here is the reason. In the reliably red Rural Counties across the state from the panhandle down the west coast, down in ft. Myers, naples and lee county, are all of those republican smaller areas, donald trump is crushing mitt romneys numbers from before. Mitt romney may have won with 69 . Donald trump is getting higher. Rural is balancing the hispanic vote in that state. Africanamerican turnout in Miamidade County is low. Some calls out of Miamidade County, about half of Broward County is yet to report. Its believed Broward County will go largely toward Hillary Clinton, but florida is very much in question now. If donald trump can get florida, this could be a very long night, and he is leading right now. 91 of precincts reporting in florida and not surprising it is that donald trump has said he has to have, no republican has gotten to the white house without first winning ohio. Donald trump is leading right now with 40 of all precincts in. About a 2. 5 point spread. Ohio is too close to call. North carolina, Hillary Clinton has called it the state that will put her over. If she wins North Carolina, he cannot win it. Hillary clinton is trailing right now by the slimmest of margins. Would you look at these numbers, 69 of state of North Carolina are reporting in. Remember this is the charlotte, Mecklenburg County area. Those are heavily democratic. More rural areas more solidly republican, the balance is on. It is. 1 of a point separating. If youre donald trump, youve got to have florida, North Carolina and ohio. He could get all of them. Then you have to go out west and blue states with small electoral counts. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not over. Two hours ago, the exit polls that all the experts were saying, this is a night for Hillary Clinton. Its just a matter of when. That is no longer the case. If he wins those three states, florida, North Carolina and ohio and is able to pick off a couple of blue states, this could be Donald Trumps presidency at this moment. It is way too close to call. Here is what the electoral count looks like right now including all of those that the Decision Team has been able to call. Donald trump has 139 electoral votes. Hillary clinton has 97 electoral votes. You have to have 270 to win the presidency, and were a long way from that. For the battle to the u. S. Senate, were watching two races at this hour, fox news predicts arizona senator jain will hang on to his seat as expected, conceding to ann kirkpatrick, it was close for a while. John mccain will be a runaway in wisconsin, democrat Russ Feingold trying to get his seat back from the guy who defeated him six years ago, republican senator ron johnson. This is one of those tea party sort of things, Russ Feingold trying to get that back. If hes able to get it, that would be a democratic pickup because ron johnson held that seat before. Right now its too close to call. Big picture, the senate is in play tonight. Democrats are hoping to pick it off. Theyve picked up one seat so far. Here is a look at the balance of five seats to take control if donald trump is the new president or four seats if clinton wins because the vp is the tiebreaker there. The president pro tem of the senate gets the tiebreaker vote. Here is the balance of power in the senate, based on the races we have called, republicans with 42 seats, democrats with 41 seats and a long way to go. Were next from an hour away from the next polls closing nevada. Lets bring in john bussey, associate editor of the wall street journal, a. B. Stoddard of real clear politics and Josh Letterman from the associated press. We came in tonight thinking it could end at florida, if we call florida early the rest doesnt matter, if she wins florida, theres no path. Theres a path for him now. The toughest states are still tossed up. We still dont have word on where these states are going to go which much in the race. As you point out, if he wins florida, then picking off those other states that hes got to sweep a number of them. Picking off those other states which at this hour, so close looks even possible. The question is what happens in the midwest. When those states that have traditionally gone democrat that Hillary Clinton feels confident about where trump has been lobbying and rallying his troops minnesota isnt even possible he could have those inroads into the democratic camp. Amy stoddard . Minnesota right now. Certainly is. He made a play for minnesota and the world laughs at him. The Campaign Said were in minnesota for a reason, now we know. Its tight in virginia. North carolina, all the battlegrounds, its very, very tight. But if he picks up a couple, hes going to i think when we were talking about the latino thing, low propensity voters, the donald trump voters are there. They werent likely voter screens, or there are people who came into the booth, the people who have been out of cycles, came into the booth and voted for trump. Josh, where are we . Tonight hasnt been an early blowout for Hillary Clinton. Even if it ends up being a close night and trump concedes and clinton wins, she may not have the broadbased mandate shed like to see from an overwhelming victory. What democrats are concerned about shep, if donald trump is close enough that he could argue that there were some type of shenanigans, this is something that could drag out and make it more difficult for the next president to bridge a very divided country. I want to get the florida board talk about the other issues of the night. Its this battle of, is there enough of a hispanic vote that will come in hot for the democrats while the africanamerican vote is clearly lower than they had hoped. The balance of that isnt a onetoone balance because hispanics go about 70 for the democrats where africanamericans go about 80, 85 for the democrats. Made so much of that was part of the early voting process, signaled to clinton she had a really good chance in florida. Its been counted, metabolized in these numbers. The question is what was the hispanic vote today on election day. Or was it already factored in. Was that sief ended off into the early voting, pulled ahead into the early voting. Half of Broward County is still out. 131,000 the florida board. Sounds like a lot of voters until you calculate close to 9 million votes are in, separated by 131,000. Thats too close to call with 93 of precincts reporting. Maybe its too early to say the following thing. The rule in the state of florida is if you have less than 5 ,. 5 difference, you have an automatic machine recount that would have to be triggered by the secretary of state. Only 7 of florida is uncounted. Its way too close to call. I think its going to take a long time. I think it looks like a recount is very likely. One of the factors, also, is were not really sure, with the democratic registrations came in in the early voting, you pointed out early in the broadcast, a lot of this is about disaffected economic feeling in the voter. That goes across republican and democratic lines. Thats why youve seen som trump in the midwest. Our findings were, if you looked at the census between 2000 and 2015 and saw those counties where there was the greatest immigration of latinos into the counties, those counties during the primary went trump. It wasnt just republicans, sometimes it was a crossover democratic vote. How many of those democratic registered voters, early voting and on election day are voting for trump . One moment. Democratic headquarters. Debbie wasserman schultz, thank you so much for being here. One democrat said to me on text message tonight, this is shocking. Its not shocking. Anyone who has followed florida politics, particularly at the president ial level for at least 20 years knows that florida comes down to the wire in every one of these. Ill tell you that i a cautiously optimistic given that 50 of my home county, Broward County is still out. Most democratic county in the state, about 200,000 votes left to be counted from todays voting in person. So i know were going to have a good, strong infusion of votes for Hillary Clinton when broward is fully reported. Its going to a nail biter. It looks like about a 2 advantage in the state of florida. 2 doesnt appear possible for Hillary Clinton. Have you been able to look at the map. Is it miamidade africanamericans havent come out, is it that the hispanic vote isnt factored in, is it that donald trump is surpassing any numbers that mitt romney had in the rural areas . How do you see it . Well, we had record setting turnout in south florida in our three main counties. Miamidade, the palm beachs and broward. Those three counties usually have to put up huge pluralities for the democratic nominee to make sure we have a shot at carrying florida. Weve achieved that. Its still close because its going to be close regardless. It does appear that the margins, even though the vote total is small in the turnout, the margins in the panhandle, for us we always have to keep it close in the panhandle. Weve got to win the i4 corridor and really run up the were going to wait and see how it all shakes out. Regardless, were all close and this is not a surprise to me. Left out of your equation there was southwest florida, lee and collier countys, naples, ft. Myers, immokalee, up into charlotte county, Port Charlotte and the rest. It usually leads republicans. I wonder if you think thats part of the balancing. It more than leans republican, thats a red part of the state except for the sarasota area, yes, most definitely that would factor in. The question is in every president ial election, you have the panhandle, southwest florida come together to cancel out the votes in the big your gan counties that run up the score for democrats. We always have to have enough of a turnout in those counties to be able to be in a stronger position. I feel like weve done that. But were going to have to wait a little while to see. Still a narrow path, of carolina, win ohio, a tall task, were not able to call any of those yet. We then shift to the midwest. I wonder what your assessment is for the midwest and how it looks for democrats and republicans today . Keep in mind Hillary Clintons pathway of 270 electoral votes is still a much wider variety than donald trump. Donald trump has to win my home state tonight in order to get the 270, Hillary Clinton has a number of other pathways. Again, i think in saying, i think we will ultimately were going to end up with enough states in our column to make Hillary Clinton president of the United States. You can see the turnout patterns that are going on. Real talk, real count. Recount in florida or are you going to avoid it . Theres varying types of recounts. Im not ready to go there yet. A machine recount, shep, is much different than a manual recount. We have the ability to go to a of a deal than the manual recounts. Well never have another experience like we had in 2000. Debby wasserman schultz, if you were expecting a the three big states that donald trump must have. Florida, ohio and North Carolina, all up for grabs. And if we wins them, and he could, its going to be a very long night. Trump supporter matt sclapp is with us, chairman of the american conservative union, former political director for george w. Bush and has been watching this thing closely. Democrats thought they had florida. As it turns out, republicans vote on election day and theyre making it up. Thats exactly right. Theres all this talk early vote and everything that happens with it. The fact is, until all the ingredients are in the bowl, you dont know how it will turn out. Its very positive for trump. Im cautiously optimistic about trump. Very positive for trump. The one downside would probably be Broward County. Though Broward County has an older population thats lived there for a long time. Theres also the population west the affluent counties vote and vote republican and they normally vote day of. Your hispanics and older population will be a balance today. Thats right. The other thing about florida, you always have to look at the recount question. Right now it looks tight enough where we could be in that position which makes tonight very interesting. If the difference is less than. 5 ,. 5 of the total vote, the first thing they do is an automatic machine recount whi just sort of happens. Anything after that, if they find first of all, youve got to talk about where we are. Hes crushing mitt romneys numbers in rural florida. How did they do that . As republicans, think about it. We havent won a battleground state in 12 years. The fact that donald trump is actually competitive in all these states youve been talking about tells you that this race is a whole different race for republicans. Were used to winning the ruby red states and losing these other ones close. Tonight as we move west, this is incredibly good news. How did we do it in the Rural Communities . He connected with the ordinary guy and gal out there who feels like this country is just on the wrong track and they dont feel like theyre getting ahead economically. She was relying, and her team, on political science. Lay the table, get your ground game in there, get them to the polls. All of that happened. He was relying on his rallies, relying on a ve he believed there was really a movement. A lot of the smarty pants on all the big networks, all the pundits said a movement doesnt win an election, a ground game does. They may turn out to be right, but not yet. She has the mechanics, he has peoples heart. The enthusiasm gap, people say what does it matter . If youre enthusiastic for your candidate youre at those polls. Dont vote. It looks like they didnt hit their numbers on the Hillary Clinton side. North carolina its a battle of the cities and the rural areas. CharlotteMecklenburg County, raleighdurham area, theres a balance there. Thats right. A still a lot of the rural areas to come in. My understanding is theres still Durham County to come in. Wade county is in. On par theres more Rural Counties that could come in that would be good for donald trump and richard bird, Important Senate see. Ohio, Cuyahoga County, youve got to have it if youre republican trying to get to the presidency. A large push is made at the end. What are you doing in cleveland . Now we know. Africanamerican turnout is low. Hes going to win ohio. This is a big news. My opinion from my contacts is trump looks very stout in ohio. To what do they attribute that . Same thing . In ohio the same kind of nrnl. Theyve seen their energy jobs at stake, their manufacturing jobs flee and they dont know where to turn. Trump is giving them a lifeline. The lifeline it is. Very much up for grabs tonight. Thanks so much for coming by. Thanks for having me. Were about to coverage continues with Shepard Smith right now. Its 6 30 on the west coast, 9 30 on the east coast, and another win for donald trump. Fox news now projects trump will win the state of arkansas, reliably red no doubt. The early numbers werent enough. With 42 of all precincts reporting an approximately 22point lead, donald trump declared the winner in the state of arkansas. Now to some of the races weve been waiting to call, here is the state of florida. Now 94 of all precincts reporting, donald trump with 140,028vote lead. Still waiting for about half of Broward County which has a large hispanic population. Much of that hispanic vote had already come in in early voting. But otherwise sprinkled around the state, florida, way too close to call, donald trump with the edge. If someone has a real edge in florida late in the game, that someone, if you had to pick one, would be donald trump. On to ohio. No republican has won it without winning ohio first. 53 of all precincts reporting, donald trump with an approximately sevenpoint lead in the state of ohio. Again, just about half of the precincts donald trump with the edge in ohio, and he has to have it. On to North Carolina, North Carolina still too close to call. 76 of all precincts reporting. Donald trump with a point and a half lead. Wake county in North Carolina, one of the more urban counties with a larger hispanic and africanamerican vote, wake county still outstanding. This one could be a little deceptive because of those that arent in yet. Call, as of the precincts reporting now, donald trump has a slight edge. It might actual be a Hillary Clinton slight edge. Were just not sure. Big picture if be ear donald trump, you have to have florida, you have to have ohio and North Carolina. You have to win all three before you go out west and try to pick up some blue states. Right now he has the possibility of getting all three of those states, just as an aside, the upshot from the New York Times which had this as large as 919 lead for Hillary Clinton at one point back before the fbi stuff. More recently today, i believe it opened at 85 for Hillary Clinton, 15 for donald trump. As i went to vote this morning at ten minutes before 7 00 a. M. On the east coast, that is where we were. Right now the upshot for the New York Times has it at 50 50. Were waiting and waiting for election returns to come in. The balance of power in the senate is still outstanding. For grabs. Its going to be a long night here on the fox broadcast network. Less than an hour away from the next poll closings, 10 00 eastern, 7 00 pacific. Among them, the battleground of nevada. Nevada where the unions that run las vegas, the restaurant unions have come out in enormous numbers for Hillary Clinton. But where donald trump has beenable to make inroads in some of the more Rural Counties, the same story weve been telling very much up in nevada. Nevada is still too close to call, closing in just 27 minutes. Watching the balance of power in congress. The entire house of representatives and a third of the senate up for grabs. James ar kin from real clear politics joins us live. One of the things we were expecting, waiting to see how many pickups would the democrats be able to get. By our count tonight so far its right now if youre a congressional republican, you feel very good about where things stand. Obviously its still very early. Carlos core val la came out early against donald trump. This was a district of democrats early on that they were going to carry. Carville la won it early in the night. Thats sort of a sign of good things to come for republicans. They feel pretty good about where thi just one pickup so far for democrats. The house of representatives, we havent called it. It almost goes without saying that the republicans will be able to keep it. Do you see on the democratic side, in the race for the senate, do you see a spot where you can put the pickups together where the democrats could take over here . I think the democrats still have a couple of different paths to the senate majority. Theyve already put one seat mark kirk. Republicans very happy about that, but when you look at pennsylvania still outstanding, New Hampshire still outstanding, democrats have high hopes for their possibilities in missouri, a state ha is going to go to donald trump. They think jason candor can win there. Theres still an opportunity for democrats, still a narrow path to the majority. It certainly is, given the way the president ial race, james arkin, thanks a lot. Our panel again, juliery ginn ski, tom bevin and morgan or take gas is a republican strategist. Florida is my focus at the moment. Ive just gotten a tweet. Tony fabrizio who is rick scott and trumps pollster has tweeted he believes donald trump will win florida. Fox has no call on florida right now. Florida is too close to call donald trump with an edge there as you see on your screen, somewhere around 130,000, 140,000 votes. Tom bevin, how surprised are you . We knew it was going to be tight. It ended up it probably could have gone either way. It looks like its leaning slightly to tum. Hes having to win these states and it looks like hes getting there. Even if he wins florida, North Carolina and ohio, its not over. Keep an eye in leading by two points with 88 of the vote in. If he loses North Carolina he might be able to replace that with virginia which would be something nobody saw coming. North carolina looking very, very close. Based on the counties and precincts that have not yet reported, though theres an edge on the screen right now for donald trump, there is reason to believe that based on the counties that are no longer reporting, North Carolina is a lot closer than this would appear. In North Carolina, donald trump with about 1. 2 point edge. Your notes on North Carolina, julie . Depends on where the outstanding ballots are. Virginia sbrestingly enough, i remember this four years ago, Northern Virginia came in really late. That makes a difference, the d. C. Suburbs of virginia. Whats interesting about tonight pull this off among an diverse electorate, among a surge in latino voters, a looting of polling, White College educated voters. Everything we know about modern campaigns is out the window. I except saying for the last year math is math and math is with her. It turns out math may not be math. A lot of people in the business and who are political scientists what exactly happens in a largely diverse country how you have enough wife exigent voters. Its enough to make this a barn burner. The mood was very different two hours ago based on the exit polls. In the past two hours, trump is making this is a real contest. The one thing i want to say, we keep talking about the white voters voting for trump. While thats largely what were seeing in the polls, i dont think we can that are voting for him. Clearly theyre breaking for hillary, especially hispanics in florida and nevada. Its not like thats the only vote hes getting. People who are political scientists, we have to respect the voter and respect the people of america when theyre speaking. I would say that message any time in enthusiasm, trumps all of the getoutthevote efforts and the brain any things you want to do and if trump pulls message and hillary never found one. Virginia, 79 of precincts reporting donald trump leading by half a point. There you go, right at 1 2 a point lead. The pollsters missed something. It looks like trump is overperforming his polls, certainly in virginia. Hillary clinton was ahead and it tightened at the end. She had that state by three or four points. Its interesting. This is c thousands of votes. Go back to North Carolina, baem won wake county by 54,000 votes. Thats about what the margin is between trump and clinton. We could be looking at recounts in multiple states. We may not know tonight, thats right. Jill stein has 50,000 votes in florida. We say every vote counts. This is 2000 again. Were near the time when closing. Right now new mexico, fox news now projects new mexico goes to Hillary Clinton with 39 of all of the pre sengts reporting, new mexico goes to Hillary Clinton. Further, the state of louisiana, louisiana now 14 of the vote is in, reliably republican. Donald trump wins the state of louisiana. Theyre all coming in. Three big ones are still missing on the east coast and in the central time zone. Florida, North Carolina and ohio, all still too close t call. Donald trump must win all three of them to move his way west unless all of a sudden and frankly out of nowhere virginia. If donald trump is able to pick off virginia, certainly the counties the cities outside washington, d. C. , the bedroom communities outside washington, d. C. , some of those polls are not yet in. But if donald trump picks off virginia, its a whole new ball game. The presidency is very much up in the air. This is Fox Broadcasting 17 minutes before the hour. At 5 00 eastern time this afternoon we got exit polls in. We dont talk about them a lot on tv. It gives you an idea where the night is going. They tell us dont pay too much attention. Its a good thing we didnt. The Trump Campaign was paying attention and they were, quite they are no more. This race is turning and barring some new turn, its going in a direction no one anticipated. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor ed roll lens, heads of a pro tum super pac, director for president reagans reelection bid. I thought when i saw the exit polls, but the reality is this could be the biggest upset ever, ever. Bigger than truman the irony is, this is unconventional. He tapped into something in this population that nobody else got. The rural numbers were dramatic. Winning a state like florida, the ultimate swing state today. Fox news has president s said that they havent said that, i dont mean to get ahead of the decision desk, but its certainly trending that way. Certainly North Carolina and ohio which are the three he had elsewhere. My sense is, this could be a long night because it could be a lot of very close elections. You could end up with a recount. At the end of the day, he has shoktd everybody. Certainly, hes worked hard for it, i couldnt be more pleased. The comeback is whats amazing. Florida, 95 of all pre sengts reporting, donald trump with 100,011, 75 difference. Right at 9 million votes are in. Thats the separation. It is just about in fact, it is 1. 2 . Different kinds of counties, dinkt pre sengts from across the land still to report. Look at the state of ohio. Ohio, which we thought would be very close, Hillary Clinton is trailing in ohio by 10 points, 61 of all of the pre sengts are now reporting. Donald trump with a of ohio. Ohio is too close to call. The other one weve been watching, North Carolina, charlotte, Mecklenburg County, some of that is still out. Wake county in North Carolina, some of that is out as well. Largely africanamerican and hispanic, that could tighten things up in North Carolina, but North Carolina still too close to call. The state of virginia, which a couple of weeks ago we really had off the board. It looks as if Hillary Clinton had it won. Its tightened yet 87 of precincts reporting out of the state of virginia and donald trump has a. 3 lead in virginia. Hes close in minnesota, close in the west. Dana perino is joining us, one of the cohosts of the five, former press secretary for george bush 43rd, in the middle of all this for a while. Weve been watching it closely. This is not what the smarties thought was going to happen. Certainly a lot closer than i was cautioned its early. You could be here for a long time tonight, shep. Do you have a call to make . We dont. I was looking down to see where these counties are coming. Its too close. I think one thing you know for sure is Rural America and specifically in virginia, minnesota and also possibly pennsylvania and then that part of North Carolina, they have come out in a big way for trump. One about eight months ago, organization was overrated when he was criticized for not putting together his own organization and relying on the many sleepaids have Pain Medicine but zzzquil is different when all you want is good sleep . Zzzquil a nonhabit forming sleepaid thats not for pain, states were watching, still too close to call. Florida i cant see the monitor because of camera four. If we can look at florida, florida is 1. 2 difference, donald trump leading in the state of florida, 95 of the votes in, and its too close to call. Next, North Carolina i should say ohio which weve been watching all night. This is a stunning number. 65 of all pre sengts are reporting it looks as if from this board that donald trump has it depends where the outstanding counties are, but well know soon enough. Ohio is still too close to call. North carolina, 79 of all precincts reporting, donald trump is holding on to his lead. Wake county, North Carolina, still outstanding. That will be, most likely, a large Hillary Clinton difference, but hes winning there, and in the state of virginia, by. 3 with 83 precincts reporting, donald trump with a lead in virginia.

One thing about virginia, in 2014 when ed gillespie was running for the senate in virginia, it got to be about this close and ed gillespie almost won it. Guess what killed it at the end . The towns right outside d. C. I dont wont know those until later tonight. The establishment walked away from gillespie, otherwise he would have been a senator. He was a great chairman and no a lot of people didnt believe trump could win. I think no matter what happened, he has basically proved his medal tonight. People like me who think they know how to run campaigns, totally irrelevant. He tapped into something in this country that none of us saw early on. Down in florida, it is obviously still too close to call. Were not really donald trump down there. I guess its africanamericans arent in, and the hispanic vote came in early, and the Rural Counties are crushing it for donald trump. I think thats the story everywhere. Outside the big your gan areas, these people basically feel theyve been neglected, pushed aside, theyve been coming out in dramatically larger numbers than for romney four years ago. Small town america, small Rural America, the backbone of this naon voices tonight. Still too close to call.

In the battle for the senate, florida senator marco rubio held on to his seat. He was up against democratic congressman patrick murphy. If you think back, marco rubio said he didnt want to run for the senate in florida. He wanted to focus all his attention on the president ial race. He dropped out of that and rubio changed his mind, got back into the senat it was very close in polling until a couple weeks ago when marco rubio started to inch away, marco rubio holds that senate seat, key hold for republicans in the senate.

Whats it like down there, steve . Trace, still too close to call in florida, of course, the biggest swing state and a key prize with 29 electoral votes. The key for democrats to win florida in the past has been to run up big margins in the big south, miami, dade and Broward County.

In the final days of early voting, we saw a shift in that in the souls to the polls event at africanamerican churches. Record turnout in parts of florida, still not enough for Hillary Clinton to take the lead back from donald trump. Weve seen this seesaw back and forth. Now 100,000 vote late with sengts in.
