favor, even though the campaign wants to talk about making a play there, clearly for them florida is more important where the see the polls close. ohio more important. that s where trump will spend time this week. deploying melania to pennsylvania is a way to maybe keep the state in play a bit. here is the other reason why it s significant. we rarely see melania trump on the campaign trail. never see her speak by herself. the last speak was clouded in controver controversy. the one she delivered, the rnc in cleveland, parts of which appeared to be plagiarized from michelle obama s speech, something trump made light of. a lot of eyeballs will be on the speech on thursday. i think it s been a couple three maybe interviews. it has been a while since we heard from her. thank you, hallie jackson. joining me, bill richardson, former governor of new mexico and an msnbc contributor. good to have you. let s get to it. i will play for you a clip of a
worried. she doesn t need florida to win. she doesn t need ohio, north carolina to win. you think about that, i think that shows still how narrow donald trump s path is to the presidency. he is out campaigning today in the west in nevada, a state which he has struggled in, a state he was actually doing well in but then started to fall quite far behind hillary clinton in a lot of more recent polls. he is defending himself in arizona, which should not be competitive but it suddenly is. he is going back to colorado where the early vote returns show that democrats are ahead of republicans. the race while it is still very close is still ultimately hers to lose it appears. quickly, if clinton is elected, how do these e-mails play out long-term? well, i think you have to consider, alex, the specter of future congressional inquiries into her e-mail use, into just
voters there? reporter: alex, believe it or not, over 3 million people have already voted in this state. that s a third of the vote in the sunshine state. it s happening in polling stations like this one. let me take you inside. over 300 polling stations have been working from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. across the state. hold on. my mike got caught on the door. as i was saying, ever since we spoke to you last hour, we have seen more people coming in, families with children as local churches have been letting out. i m taking you here to the back where the voting is happening just to my right. as this is happening, we are hearing that buss are going to be coming in with the clinton campaign, bringing the souls to the polls. as you mentioned, since those polls are so tight, the clinton camp is taking nothing for granted here in the sunshine state. the lines not too great. i know you have been there since
that s been coming in every day and republicans are slightly ahead of democrats in terms of registered voters who have already cast their ballots. hispanics have been outperforming and turning out at the polls in large numbers. that s good news for hillary clinton. an explosive development this late in the race is something that would alarm any front runner. you can see how rattled they are. to that point, today we re seeing new polls coming out that don t look good for hillary clinton. they show her with a single point nationally, a few points up in florida, up by six or so the latest in north carolina. do you attribute that to the fbi announcement? how worried do you think she should be about this dip in the polls? enough to reverse the trajectory that was going her way before friday? in the sense that the race is so close in a state like florida, yes, she should be
earlier. maybe church goers will head to the polls. you think it will pick up. we are seeing more folks behind you. do you see in general the numbers picking up today? reporter: in fact, i mean, they have been decreasing a little. it s been rainy here in south florida today. that might be the cause. also, as you mentioned, churches are letting out. we are expecting more families here. just in this polling station where i am now, they have 13,000 people come and vote in one day alone. that was two days ago. we are hoping to see numbers like that in the next coming days, as early voting is under way here in florida. thank you so much. the video just released by the clinton campaign ape eaimed voters confused about the e-mail investigation. ing student? is it a carever deteined to te care of her own?
