A live look in pittsburgh where the former Vice President is about to get some celebrity backup from lady gaga at a drivein rally while biden focuses on pennsylvania. Former president obama is on the ground in georgia and florida. Both states voted for candidate trump in 2016 but the polls now show very tight races. President trump firing up a crowd in travers city, michigan, before heading to wisconsin for another rally. Were covering all the angles in both campaigns ali vitali following the biden camp but lets begin with jeff bennett, hi, jeff. The Trump Campaign counting on an election day surge tomorrow to help fuel his path to reelection the Trump Campaign is drawing some confidence in these large crowds the president has been pulling as he campaigns across the country despite the polls showing him behind people spent seven or eight hours in the cold. Hes wrapping up his speech here behind me. You can look at how a campaign views its own standing based on the ways in which they view their final hours. President trump largely on defense trying to defend turf from joe biden in pennsylvania, North Carolina, he has two stops here in michigan back in 2016. President trump won michigan by fewer than 11,000 votes. So what the campaign is banking on is that come tomorrow they have some projections, they say, that they show a two to one margin that Trump Supporters showing up on election day, they hope, will eat into whatever advantage democrats may have with that early vote shep Geoff Bennett covering the president. Now to ali vitali with the Biden Campaign hi, ali. Reporter hey, shep joe biden finishing tonight capping off Election Night eve in pittsburgh for a drivein rally with lady gaga this comes after he spent some time in ohio an aggressive state for them despite the fact it has a history of going red pennsylvania is the place he spent the most time in the general election and it is where he is kapg things off before going back there tomorrow as well he and his running mate effectively split up the state hes out in the western part and Kamala Harris in the east and the all important suburbs. While they were up in the northeast, former president barack obama took on the south georgia and florida bringing this message listen here in south florida, you see these ads. Joe paling with communists, paling with social you think he was having coffey with castro every morning. Dont fall for that. Joe Biden Joe Biden served as a senator from delaware. He was my Vice President i think wed all know if he was a secret socialist by now. Shep, barack obama clearly relishing this attack dog role hes taken on the last few weeks on the campaign trail combatting that attack line of socialism against this democratic ticket in these closing hours the Biden Campaign is making one clear point that really transcends partisanship at this point which is that they believe that every vote should be counted and vote counting doesnt stop at midnight on Election Night thats not partisan spin, thats the way elections work, shep battle grounds decide elections of course. Cnbc is there. Frank holland live in pennsylvania Brian Sullivan in michigan first, Contessa Brewer live in florida with seniors who could lead the way in the villages hey. Reporter hi, shep. Half of the registered voters in this state are boomers or older. Retirement haven the villages brands itself floridas friendliest hometown but i found out that is not the case when politics comes up. Graduated in 69. Dont let politics listen why would you want a draft dodging pervert hes not a pervert. How many times has he been married. Read my buttons, girl here, read my buttons. Reporter well, vocal democrats are a new phenomenon here every week ed mcginty is out waiving his signs trying to turn the tide of trumpism often hes a voice crying in the wilderness since february ive been sitting out here with three or four people. Theyve been here to support me. Reporter residents here are mostly white and mostly republican 68 of them voted for trump in 2016 in 2020, everywhere you look the enthusiasm for trump. Four more years reporter is apparent. The people weve talked to and seen, theyre very strongly for trump. Im very happy what he has done so far in many ways. Reporter but democrats have been working to peel away that support. Republicans working to shore it up both President Trump and Vice President mike pence have made recent Campaign Stops in the villages still, mcginty swears you can hear change in the wind. If you hear beep, beep, beep like youve heard a lot of, thats biden if you hear, honk, thats a trump person thats a biden person. Reporter nationally the latest nbc wall street journal poll shows biden with a 23 point lead among seniors, but with florida seniors, hes neck in neck. Thanks, contessa. Another key demographic, suburban women sending out their surrogates ivanka trump on the trail in michigan and iowa. Dr. Jill biden in erie and pittsburgh the president won that group by 16 points back in 2016 now the former Vice President leads suburban women by 23 points thats according to a Washington Post abc news poll cnbcs Frank Holland has been talking to suburban women in pennsylvania frank, what are the issues driving their vote reporter shep, the economy to social issues the women we spoke to in the suburbs, theyre deeply divided on the issues that matter to them 900 registered voters here in pennsylvania women in the suburbs, especially around philadelphia, are seen as the key to winning this battleground state we sat down with four democrat and four republican women. The republican women told us their top issues are the economy, the Supreme Court and law and order. Being 40 minutes away from philadelphia, which im sure you all know whats going on, the fact that law and order doesnt seem to be important right now and the defund the police is its just mind blowing i mean, that alone to me is the biggest reason why im voting for him. The taxes went down the fuel prices, the oil prices affected every single expense line on my report and i made more money during the administration of trump than i did in obama and obama i actually was on the verge of having to shut down. On the other hand, the Democratic Women we spoke with said social justice, lgbtq rights and the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and how it could affect health care are their top concerns. The biggest thing influencing who im voting for in this election is racial tension and hoping for more immunity in the United States. I think joe biden has the chance to bring in more unity. Im incredibly concerned that there is a court case in front of the Supreme Court that relates to obamacare and that she has said she will rule against that and that i am terrified for our country all of the people who will be kicked off of health care and what that means for everybody. Reporter and as we count down to election day here in this battleground state, the governor of the state releasing a new psa. It may take time to get the States Election results there are more than 3 million mailin ballots votes. The last stop for President Trump tonight, kent county, michigan same stop as his final rally before victory four years ago. The president behind in michigan in most of the polls this time Detroit Free Press showing him down 7 margin of error plus or minus 4, but some polls were wrong in 2016 in fact, just days before that election now President Trump was behind in the same Free Press Poll by 4 before going on to win the state. Cnbcs Brian Sullivan live in grand rapids brian, what is it about kent county thats so important reporter this county exemplifies exactly the change in michigan and maybe the country, shep. This was reliably red for decades. Its gerald fords hometown, for petes sakes weve seen more voters moving to the suburbs. It has become more blue. They voted for a democratic governor in Gretchen Whitmer for the first time in decades in kent county. If you look at how michigan is going to go you have three counties, this one, macomb and miskegan if you think that is close, shep, when you look at the state of michigan all together, donald trump winning in 2016 by just 10,704 votes compare that to obama who beat romney by 450,000 votes in 2012. The key is, will that formerly blue, maybe blue collar or union worker, will they continue to stay red with trump or go back to the blue like biden is hoping well find out tomorrow. Only half the county has voted early. Big day tomorrow. Brian, thanks now the big question, whos going to win well do the lawsuits and the mail problems later, preparing for unrest and visit the battle grounds. First, what do the numbers tell us steve kornacki, new numbers. 97 million americans have already voted. Walk us through the map right now. Yes really interesting, shep, because theres a difference nationally the poll average is high, Single Digits our nbc wall street journal poll has biden ahead by 10, but check out swing state numbers from the new cnbc change polling. Take these in two different groups michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania remember, trump barely won all three ofthese in 2016. Theyve got a 7point lead in a new poll for biden in michigan 8 in wisconsin and then 5, a little bit closer in pennsylvania. So it is no accident the Trump Campaign has been spending so much time and money in pennsylvania lately, because they have to win at least one of these three states and they clearly see pennsylvania as their ripest target here again, the poll finding biden ahead by 5 trump must win pennsylvania tomorrow to have a chance in the electoral college. He has to do more than that as well next tier of swing states, really these are all mustwin, arizona, North Carolina, florida. Look closer, only 3 points is the biden lead in arizona, 2 in North Carolina, 3 in florida so from trumps standpoint, hes up against it in pennsylvania, but if he could get a win there, hes not that far off in the next level of swing states youve got to win them all no margin for error here, but when you look at the swing state polls, its narrow but you do see a path that still exists barely for the president steve, what does the data tell us about why people are voting the way they are . We have new numbers from our Cnbc Change Research Poll . This is really interesting, too. What is motivating voters here on this question of trump voters, is your vote more for trump overwhelmingly thats whats getting them out there. Some small number say against biden. Heres where it gets out there more of them, a majority of biden voters say theyre not really voting for biden as much as theyre voting against trump. 46 say theyre voting for biden. Whether youre a democrat or republican, this is an election about donald trump whats the most important reason for voting sort of an openended question here the number one answer that came back from biden voters, to get rid of trump 2 3 said getting trump out of office is whats motivating them trump voters, whats the number one thing motivating them . Its the idea that democrats will push socialist policies a majority of trump voters pointing to that. Today i heard James Cargill tell Andrea Mitchell that well know a winner tomorrow night by 10 p. M do you agree with that or do you think this is a drawn out process . Well, its possible but i dont know if id bet on it. If we do know, its because of florida, georgia, or North Carolina those states are going to report a lot of states early. If biden wins one of those early, that could be a firm answer. Thank you hope youll all join us tomorrow for the vote special Election Night of the news and then its your money, your vote. Cnbcs all night live coverage of poll closings, decisions. Ill report the results. Cnbc correspondents report from the swing states and be our Business News anchors that you know and trust will welcome ceos and economists to discuss what it means for you, on the money, on Election Night on cnbc. First in business worldwide. Covid watch now. The number of cases hitting record highs, so we wanted to take a closer look at some key treatment that could be a game changer in the fight against coronavirus. We go inside the manufacturing process of regeneron. Whats keeping this critical drug out of reach of most americans . Most poll workers are older. Not even old enough to vote meet the teenagers stepping up big time this election. Plus, what will historians say when they look back at this unprecedented president ial election the facts, the truth, covid watch. The United States added another 81,000 cases yesterday highest number on any sunday of the pandemic several states reporting their worst outbreaks yet after battling the virus for almost eight months in the past ten days at least 15 states have hit new singleday highs for cases. Theyre shown in red here. Many of them in the midwest, as you can see. Thats from the covid tracking project. And now a look at where things stand today compared to last month. Average daily cases have nearly doubled. The number of people in hospitals and icus up more than 50 . Deaths increasing only slightly but we all know by now those numbers lag behind cases in hospitalizations as covid surges the white house is attacking dr. Anthony fauci as he gives the facts about whats happening and the science of whats coming in america. Fire fauci. Fire fauci fire fauci dont tell anybody, but let me wait till a little bit after the election donald trump said fire dr. Fauci. Isnt that wonderful ive got a better idea elect me and im going to hire dr. Fauci. The contrast between the two could not be clearer by every measure, americas response has been a historic failure. This disease has killed more than 230,000 americans what does the data tell us about who Americans Trust to handle it Going Forward . Well, a new cnbc chain Research Poll said in six states do you approve or disapprove . 2 3 of likely voters say they approve, about 1 3 said disapprove everyone is hoping for treatments so those who do get covid will not get sick regeneron is one Company Working on that. Its time consuming and there are no gaur antiques and get this, their therapeutics are produced when grown inside the ovary cells of chinese hamsters. Its complicated cnbcs meg tirrell on what science is doing to make covid a little less dangerous. Reporter regeneron started the work on its covid antibody drug way back in january, here at its headquarters in terry town, new york its moved at record speed, but still the manufacturing process for each batch takes a total of three to four months why . These drugs are grown in living cells derived from the ovaries of chinese hamsters. It sounds crazy, but these cells are commonly used in biotech manufacturing. Theyre grown in a series of bioreactors that start small and get all the way up to big tanks like you might see in a brewery except much cleaner. Then they start churning out the antibodies that lengthy and controlled process is why regeneron has 50,000 doses available whenever the fda gives the green light. Regeneron also partnered with roche and next year together they expect to make 2 million treatment doses. Eli lilly is in the same situation. Ceos of both Companies Say it needs to be rationed Scott Gottleib said the government should have done more to secure the supply. These antibody drugs, weve been saying it since may we wont have enough we didnt make the right decisions. Reporter operation warp speed has invested more than 10 billion in vaccines and less than 2 billion in therapeutics they have been a key focus and vaccines will be used by many more people. For regeneron, its been a massive effort the company moved production of all of its other medicines in europe to free up the u. S. Manufacturing capacity almost completely for the covid drug all under pandemic protocols, a huge push to try to help us all get back to normal for the news, im meg tirrell, terry town, new york. As covid cases rise, theyre seeing more restrictions that leaves people out of work and in desperate need of financial help from the government washington has failedthem. Cnbcs senior economics correspondent steve liesman. Theres talk of a stimulus but no action on stimulus. No, there isnt, and youre right. Economists, Federal Reserve officials all agree that additional stimulus is needed for this economy shep, i dont want to be too cynical on the primetime dinner news hour, but ultimately i remember back to the tart bill in 2009, it took a 700 point decline or 800 point decline in the dow to bring lawmakers to their senses that it was needed. I hope it doesnt have
