hello, everyone. i m kate bolduan. at this hour, we are in the home stretch. today is the final day of campaigning before voters start getting counted. candidates across the country are out in force as they should be of course. getting final face time with voters and their final opportunity to lock in any waiving votes. the mood understandably tense with so many razor tight races and so much on the line. republicans are growing increasingly confident they ll make major gains in congress and in governor s mansions across the country. the current and former presidents back on the trail again to try to boost turnout. president biden will be campaigning for democratic candidates in maryland today. former president trump will be in ohio for a rally for the republican senate candidate there. and another sign of justice how focused in voters are on this midterm, more than 40 million americans in 47 states have already cast their ballots in early voting. and when all of the votes are
reason and basic decency are on the ballot. plus, an important cnn exclusive. an interview with the man in line to replace nancy pelosi as speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy outlining the house republican agenda. i think the first thing you ll see is a a bill to control the border. first thing we re going to do is make sure an economy that s strong. and donald trump reminds mccarthy and every other republican who s on first in the gop. trump stops in ohio, pennsylvania, florida, in the final days to make clear he sees the midterm closed as his 2024 opening act. we re winning big, big, big in the republican party for the nomination like nobody s ever seen before. there it is, thank yorump at 71. ron desanktimonious. at first, election eve and a crossroads for the presidency. already had 1 million ballots cast 41 million ballots cast. the final count will determine which party controls the house. which party controls the senate. also which controls the governor
so just everyone prepare for that in the coming days, kate. absolutely. and john fetterman s campaign putting that out. patience, patience, it will take a little while because of the way that the laws are written in pennsylvania. it is good to see you, thank you. so another state that could determine control of the senate, is georgia. democratic rafael warnock and herschel walker are on the campaign trail today. and unique to the state, a possible runoff hangs in the distance. more than 2.5 million georgians have already cast their ballots and in an early voting record. eve a mckend live in atlanta for us. what is the final pitch that you re hearing there? reporter: well central to senator warnock s argument for re-election is that ultimately he has a record of working with republicans if it benefits georgians. he spoke over the weekend in the home town of savannah and he recalled the legacy of the late
