[00:03:02] elections in the United States, what [00:03:15] clave, los datos de la votación y lo [00:04:13] in Iowa and then also here in Solina Kansas that he's been out [00:04:16] barnstorming for the last month trying to get Republican voters to [00:04:20] turn out and prevent both the house and the senate from going democratic [00:04:24] here in the next couple days. Trump here pleading [00:04:28] how bad do you have to be for a over and over again saying pretend that I time on the ballot, if you voted for me in [00:04:31] 2024, come out again, vote for [00:04:34] republicans. now the fact that Trump is finishing up this [00:04:37] rally, this rally schedule in these red [00:04:41] states says something about just the situation that Republicans find [00:04:44] themselves in. Kansas, for example, has not sent a [00:04:47] Democrat to the Senate since 1932, that's nearly 100 [00:04:51] years, they have decent chance at doing it here, the [00:04:54] polls showing the race between Roger Marshall, the incoming senator, [00:04:58] Adam Hamilton. the democrat neck and neck, and [00:05:02] that's why Trump is here last minute, just trying to turn out the [00:05:06] kinds of voters, low propensity voters who may be frustrated by the [00:05:09] Iran war and by the economy, but trying [00:05:12] to remind them of the stakes here of de potential [00:05:16] democratic turnover takeover uh so we'll [00:05:19] see in a couple days whether that works out, but again Trump [00:05:23] really having to come through and put all this effort in in these red [00:05:26] states that used to be just kind of easy republican strongholds. [00:05:30] Jessica all right uh Adam Kinkrin in Kansas for us [00:05:34] thank you so much for that. Let's go now to Texas, we've got new [00:05:37] polling in that race with the New York Times and Sienna showing Democratic [00:05:41] senate Senate candidate J. Hello Rico leading Republican Ken [00:05:44] packs in their 50 to 43%. [00:05:47] That's another traditionally red state that he's turned into a [00:05:51] surprise battleground in these midterm elections and CNN's Jeff Zelleny is joining [00:05:55] us now live from San Antonio. Jeff, we [00:05:58] heard from Talo Rico tonight at his final campaign event of the [00:06:01] weekend, Texas has been a white whale for democrats for [00:06:04] many, many cycles and so many people are [00:06:08] wondering if if this is is the time when they [00:06:11] are able to... flip it, what was Tallo Rico saying? [00:06:15] Jessica, that is really just the central question of this, our [00:06:18] democrats uh really uh putting their hopes in something [00:06:22] more uh concrete than before, and of course uh talking [00:06:25] to uh so many of them here at this campaign rally that just ended a short [00:06:29] time ago here uh they do believe that their hope is well placed and they [00:06:33] um point to these things, I mean about 7.8 million [00:06:36] voters have already voted in Texas through early [00:06:39] voting, democrats feel very good about those numbers of course lot. day numbers [00:06:43] a traditionally benefit Republicans, so we cannot read too much [00:06:46] into this, but the enthusiasm and the energy is so [00:06:50] clear on the Democratic side, the size of the [00:06:52] rallies, uh, etc., but in the closing days of [00:06:56] this campaign, James Talorica was also latching to something else. It's [00:07:00] the money that's been flooding into this uh campaign from Elon Musk. [00:07:03] He hit hard on that theme this evening. [00:07:07] Ken Packson is funded by one [00:07:11] dude. Elon Musk wants our [00:07:14] land, he wants our water, he wants our [00:07:18] tax dollars, he wants his very own personal [00:07:22] United States Senator, he is trying to buy [00:07:25] Texas, but on November 3rd, we're going to [00:07:28] deliver a crystal clear message to the world's first trillionaire, [00:07:32] Texas is not for [00:07:33] sale, [00:07:38] look, the corruption message has been a central one of the midterm. [00:07:42] election race here in Texas and elsewhere, but in the final days of this race, Tallo [00:07:46] Rico is uh really uh honing in on the the corruption message, but [00:07:50] also with the fact that Elon Musk is spending so [00:07:53] much money on this race, so it's an open question how much that will [00:07:57] will resonate, but there is some worry among Republicans, as [00:08:01] we've been talking with Republicans as well here, a senator [00:08:04] Ted Cruz just a couple days ago, he had some dire warnings for [00:08:08] Republicans about that they need to show up, they need to increase [00:08:12] their... enthusiasm, so Jessica, this race, [00:08:15] Texas is not used to being a battleground, certainly in a mid-term [00:08:18] election, a campaign, it absolutely is, so we will [00:08:21] see how the next 36 or so hours uh play out [00:08:25] before those polls open on Tuesday morning. I now Jeff Zellen, you're in the middle [00:08:28] of it all uh coming to us from San Antonio, thank you so much for [00:08:31] that. And be sure to join us on Tuesday for Election Night in [00:08:35] America. Our coverage starts at 5 pm Eastern on CNN or streaming live [00:08:39] with an all-access subscription.

CNN's Kiung Law is there to talk to voters who say they're [00:08:56] determined to make sure their votes count. Also, what [00:08:59] might a potential blue wave look like on Tuesday? We're going to break down [00:09:03] some of the key signs that experts will be watching for on election night, [00:09:07] and in North Carolina, top of mine for many voters this [00:09:11] time around is Common. cost of living.

Right now, it's not a good time to ask me [00:09:25] to vote for anybody. My lights off. Can you hear [00:09:28] me get them off? [00:09:46] Business is all about making [00:09:48] connections, [00:09:53] but some connections are easier to make than [00:09:55] others.

[00:12:57] The need to migrate knows no age, many [00:13:01] say they want to reach Mexico City, but others seek to [00:13:04] go further [00:13:05] north. [00:13:09] The Mexican army's anti-drone battalion consists of [00:13:12] these types of elements of inhibitors to take down drones [00:13:16] that have become a threat. The [00:13:19] Chiapas authorities have detected a cattle smuggling [00:13:22] point. [00:13:25] the illegal crossing points for cattle going from [00:13:28] Central America to Mexico. Thousands of [00:13:31] protesters, workers of this country, left at [00:13:34] 9:30 in the morning from the Angel of Independence. I [00:13:37] am in the municipality of Teuchitlán in the Mexican state [00:13:41] of Jalisco. Here the discovery was macabre by [00:13:44] groups of people searching for [00:13:46] missing persons. What made you come here with the [00:13:50] suspicion that your son might be on this [00:13:52] ranch? [00:14:02] A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit from the Trump Justice Department that sought to set [00:14:06] aside some ballots and delay certification of Alaska's Senate [00:14:09] race that controversy stemming from the allegation Alaska Democrats tried to [00:14:13] confuse voters by recruiting a senate candidate with the same [00:14:17] name as the Republican incumbant. The Democrat [00:14:20] candidate in that race Mary Paltola denies the allegations, [00:14:23] incumbent Senator David [00:14:26] said he would accept the results no matter [00:14:27] what? [00:14:30] are you only going to accept the election results if you [00:14:32] win? [00:14:36] no, I'm going to accept the election [00:14:37] results. [00:14:40] CNN's Kuang Law is there on the ground in Alaska and has [00:14:43] this? well Jess, the people here at this [00:14:47] particular early polling place say that they [00:14:50] are absolutely paying attention to what's happening. almost [00:14:53] everyone here knows. about the legal back and forth, but it [00:14:57] certainly isn't manifesting anyone not showing up to the [00:15:01] polls. Take a look, this is the early voting spot, you see [00:15:04] the line extends all the way down the hallway, it actually wraps [00:15:07] around that way, and then we're going to just pivot over this [00:15:11] way, it has been this long all day, we've been here four days in a row [00:15:15] now, and each day it's gotten longer as we [00:15:18] get to election day, so it's hard to predict [00:15:22] what it's going to look like day by day, um and and as [00:15:25] there's more news and you can see it going all the way around this [00:15:28] way, as you stop and talk to people, they'll say they want [00:15:32] their vote to matter. they are aware of the two dans [00:15:36] on the ballot. and if there was some sort of [00:15:39] delay in certification, I want you to listen to what this one voter told [00:15:43] me, it scares the dickens out of me, [00:15:45] I'm that frightens me desperately, [00:15:49] um, and I get nervous about the long-term um [00:15:52] effect on our country, if that's the if that's the case, but that means for elections around the [00:15:55] country, so yeah, and what would that mean if it did [00:15:59] happen? I mean to me that means that um [00:16:03] uh no one's vote is, no one's vote matters so... [00:16:07] It's not just Alaska for these voters that's on the [00:16:11] ballot and their voice, they really feel like the [00:16:14] difference this year for them is that the entire nation [00:16:18] is watching this time, that there is a statement about democracy [00:16:21] being made, and that's a sentiment that we're hearing from the people who [00:16:25] are independent voters, non-partisans, [00:16:28] republicans as well as registered democrats, and as [00:16:31] we get to the very front of the polling place, I'm going to sweesen over [00:16:34] here, this is... where they hope their [00:16:38] vote will matter and that it is [00:16:41] counted at the end of the day, just right, kuong [00:16:45] law there from anchorage, thank you so much for that reporting. okay, we've [00:16:49] got a whole new set of polls out late this evening, the New [00:16:52] York Times polling showing democrats leading republicans in five of the [00:16:56] seven key senate races in Michigan, [00:16:59] democratic nominee Abdul El Sayed, leading Republican nominee Mike Rogers [00:17:03] by 11. In Texas, the Democrat James Talorico has seven point. [00:17:07] point edge over Republican Kin Paxton, in [00:17:11] Maine, Ohio, and Kansas, the lead narrows, as you see there, but it is [00:17:14] still outside the margin of error for those for those [00:17:17] polls, and uh, there is no clear [00:17:20] leader in those Alaska and Iowa contests. Our panel is back [00:17:24] now, I'm saying all that because that's kind of last data point we are getting [00:17:27] before we head into the actual election week. Sure, Michael, [00:17:31] I'll start with you, if you're going off of of that, [00:17:35] which we can, we can also talk. [00:17:39] I want to make clear for the record I have not, that's fair, if you, but if you [00:17:42] were, that would suggest, I i think it's fair to say if you're just you know kind of looking [00:17:46] at those trend lines that you'd that you'd rather be democrat than a republican [00:17:50] heading into Tuesday, but I think you might disagree with that bas [00:17:53] on what you're saying, of course I disagree, there's no way we're going to lose [00:17:57] Maine, I don't think we're going to lose in Texas, look, these races are certainly [00:18:00] more competitive because of the enthusiasm gaps for my friends on the other [00:18:04] side, I will acknowledge that, this is not an ideal environment. [00:18:07] environment uh for Republicans, but when you start looking at [00:18:10] just some of the structural advantages in places like Texas where you have a Republican [00:18:14] governor with 92% approval among all registered Republican voters, I'm [00:18:18] somehow led to believe that they'll vote for him, but not the [00:18:21] Republican who's running for senate. I i just find that hard to believe. Look at [00:18:25] Maine, democrats have counted Susan Collins out time and time again, [00:18:28] she's continued to excel and win all of those races. I don't believe the [00:18:32] voters in main will vote for Troy Jackson over Susan Collins. I [00:18:35] mean, some of these things just don't seem really. realistic to me, I think Dims may win [00:18:39] seat or two, maybe even three if I'm being generous, but five or [00:18:42] six, which I know Bakari believes, I just don't see it, uh, yeah, I [00:18:46] mean, I, I do think Democrats are going to have a good day, but but [00:18:49] listen, I if Polles mattered, Hillary Clinton would be [00:18:53] president of the United States or would have won in 2016, right, we would have been wearing [00:18:57] our all white, we would have been in the jabvet center watching the glass fall [00:19:00] down, um, and that that's not the case, what I will say is is you have to like [00:19:04] turn the page on the polls, not just taking the early voting data, but turn the [00:19:07] page and in Texas for example, it it's the perfect [00:19:10] storm for democrats to win, the polling shows that [00:19:14] Talorico's been above 50% for the last two or three weeks, which is hard for democrat [00:19:18] in the south as someone who's run statewide, and 50 is an [00:19:21] important number when you're looking at that, but but he also doesn't need [00:19:24] 50, which brings me to my second point, because democrats you have to [00:19:28] have one, a piss poor candidate on the republican side which can paxon [00:19:31] is, you have to have an environment which is favorable, which we have right now, and [00:19:35] then you have to have a third-party candidate which... was able to siphon a little bit so you can [00:19:39] possibly win with 48-49% of the vote, [00:19:42] that's what gives Talo Rico a chance, that's what actually puts some of these other states in the south, it's [00:19:46] a crazy strategy though, the be relying on these random third party candidates, mean it's the only [00:19:50] strategy we have in the south right now, well the other thing that happens in texas, [00:19:53] we can't i mean sir michael, the reality here is paxon is a [00:19:57] really bad candidate, mean he's one of the most corrupt, he's one of the [00:20:00] most i'm not saying he's the ideal person here, [00:20:05] republican legislator? legislature to impeach you right, [00:20:09] like they went after him in the republican legislature, so um the only reason [00:20:13] he's there is because donald trump got him there, i know [00:20:15] lot of republicans who are in the state who were corn voters who are trying to [00:20:19] organize against Pakistan, this is kind of our on our [00:20:22] fighting right, the George W. Bush wing of the party versus the Donald [00:20:26] Trump wing of the party going at each other, democrats are just there to kind of pick up [00:20:29] the pieces, hold themselves together, win the Latino votes that Donald Trump has [00:20:33] offended over the last 18 months and bring them back to the democratic fall. [00:20:37] and see what they can do on election day. I also think it's really important though to to remember [00:20:41] that Donald Trump spent lot of time in Texas, he was talking about, he's like, "I'm here twice [00:20:45] in one day, cuz I love you Texas so much because you've elected me so [00:20:49] many times." but he's out there and there's a reason he's there and it's because [00:20:53] voter turnout and it's because they know that it's so close now that [00:20:56] poll that we just saw, I'm not so sure that it's right, but it [00:21:00] is so so close and what the president has done, [00:21:04] he's gone back to these states and reminded his his [00:21:07] base what's at stake, so lot of people have heard [00:21:10] ter that he's so great, you know he's a minister, he's [00:21:14] all of these great things, the conservative could get behind him, look at the bushes are getting behind [00:21:18] him, whatever, and he's going. in there and he's like, I'm going to play this video that's going to make you remind [00:21:22] what's at stake here, we're going to talk about socialism, he talk about some of the mistakes made, other kinds of things and [00:21:26] people are getting out there and voting. Texas is a hard state [00:21:29] for democrats to win, and that's why the president was there, and I don't think that we should [00:21:33] underestimate that, and I think the polls are underestimate that we we want the [00:21:36] president to go lot of places and the crazy part about we [00:21:39] being the democrat, yeah, I mean, I heard Tim Scott give one of the best closing [00:21:43] messages ever today this morning on TV. Tim, Tim Scott literally [00:21:47] said that we are running on Trump's agenda, please got. God, let [00:21:50] let's run on Trump Trump's agenda for the last two years. The fact is, [00:21:54] I, Donald Trump is going to Kansas, Donald Trump is [00:21:57] going to Texas. You know where he's not going, North Carolina, [00:22:00] Georgia, Michigan, he's not going to New Hampshire, he's not going to Maine, he's [00:22:04] not going to Alaska, he's not going to campaign in Wisconsin in [00:22:07] Guvernatorial races or Nevada in, because he can't go [00:22:10] there, because we're races, he did go to Michigan and Alaska, but but [00:22:14] but your points did, I mean he he can't go to these [00:22:17] places because he's an albatrost. so he has to [00:22:20] go in ruby red areas where all he can do is juice turn out, he [00:22:24] is not convincing anybody else to come out and vote for me or my agent that turn [00:22:28] out, but that turnout may help some of those republicans, like when he went [00:22:31] to south carolina, citidal pole and had some results that came out that [00:22:35] suggested that republicans were far more responsive after [00:22:39] the president's visit, that makes a difference with car in the Kansas and in [00:22:43] Ohio, in a Texas, we were a week out for an [00:22:46] election, the guys may win two by two or three points, we were a week out for election in the world. that did [00:22:50] the heavy lifting in that sentence was the president was in South Carolina, [00:22:54] do you realize the fact that the president is campaigning in South [00:22:57] Carolina, it's badly absurd, go ahead, I will say [00:23:01] this, I will say this, the one thing about Donald Trump is that we can't underras, he's done the [00:23:05] hardest thing there is to do in baseball twice, he won the white house right, and so [00:23:08] anybody who's won the white house I have great respect for because they clearly have some [00:23:12] political ability, what I know about Trump is that he's [00:23:16] crazy, but maybe crazy like fox, and I think that he has some [00:23:19] sense of what... out there in the electorate to go after that all democrats should pay [00:23:23] attention to, because now when you really understand how you data target [00:23:26] people, he is clearly going after some part of the [00:23:29] electorate, trying to move them, and he knows if he can talk to them in [00:23:33] these very discrete ways that the rest of us don't see because it's not in our [00:23:36] algorithm, he's making content that goes at them, and i just don't [00:23:40] know who he's going after and what kind of turn out he'll get from them, but i think it's [00:23:43] probably just to hold the bottom up and not necessarily to win states [00:23:47] that are democratic leaning, but just... some place you can save as many people [00:23:51] as possible so it's not a complete, but that's that's important for helping us keep the [00:23:55] majority in the senate though, right? because if you can take Ohio, [00:23:58] Kansas, Texas, bakari off of that. I mean, I'm not s on [00:24:02] Texas, you can't, you can't get to five or six seats that are necessary for you guys to gain [00:24:06] control, it's just not there, but maybe it's not even about winning control, maybe it's just [00:24:09] about like helping a congressional race or helping some state legislators, but to your point, [00:24:13] Jamal, I do think that Donald Trump, and I think most people who've watched this since he came [00:24:17] down the escalator 10, 11 years ago... Donald Trump is more like [00:24:21] ticket master than anything else, I mean he's he's really non-transferable [00:24:24] right? we what we see about Donald Trump is that what he [00:24:28] has, no one else is able to duplicate, that's true, we have [00:24:31] we have we have seen other people try to come in and coop the megabase, look at that, well [00:24:35] let's go home, [00:24:37] transferrable, except the big issue here is voter turn out, and [00:24:41] republicans were not going to go anywhere, they're going to sit on the couch, if [00:24:45] you asked me this six weeks ago, I would have said democrats are going to run away with it, this is [00:24:49] going to be really really... bad for Republicans, the fact that Donald Trump has been out there [00:24:52] zigzagging across the country to places to your point are unexpected and you're surprised [00:24:56] to see him, actually says I think it's going to be harder for democrats to have the big [00:25:00] big huge night that ever was talking about than they will keep those, we got to stop the [00:25:04] bleeding, that's that's the purpose of this, and I think it's an interesting theory, most [00:25:08] presidents when the polling numbers are this low, they're saying at the white house, no one [00:25:11] wants them out there, or Trump is saying, I'm willing to bet these vulnerable [00:25:15] Republicans or in competitive races will get a boost by a 2%, [00:25:19] 3% turn. from my base and I think he's mathematically correct, well there's one president who [00:25:23] has been out there, his name was Barack Obama, and Barack Obama has been in all of these states [00:25:26] doing the same thing, but he's been, but he's been in Michigan right, he's been in Georgia, he's [00:25:30] been in these places and he's juicing turnout in these neighborhoods that people are are talking [00:25:34] about, he's Barack Obama actually went to Ohio right to campaign with [00:25:38] Sherry Brown, and so we're seeing these things happen, and well [00:25:42] look, I am not someone who believes that that Democrats are going to have like this [00:25:46] tsunami right, I do think we'll have a good night and we're going to have a good night down b like [00:25:50] in places like South Carolina, we have an opportunity to break a super majority in the state [00:25:53] legislature, to the people watching that may not mean a whole lot, but to [00:25:57] South Carolinans, that means well in local communities those things matter lot, [00:26:00] those things matter, and so and... and even you're giving some hope to places because you have [00:26:04] polls that come out and show where you're competitive in Louisiana, are we going [00:26:08] to win Louisiana? that's a whole another conversation, are you going to win Mississippi? but [00:26:12] at least the same polls that we're looking at say that maybe on November 3rd [00:26:16] right, or the day after the election, if we begin to organize and build [00:26:19] infrastructure, Stacy Abrahams type of playbook, maybe we can actually [00:26:23] transform you guys doing that, I mean despite the [00:26:27] environment for my party, Republicans are still competitive, [00:26:30] if this was 6-10 years ago. you look at this map and say there's no way in the world these [00:26:34] guys would have fighting chance and we do because of some of the vulnerabilities and [00:26:38] risks that democrats currently still have. all right, stay with us, we've got more to [00:26:42] discuss. uh, as we've been talking about just just right now, [00:26:46] is this blue wave potentially real? is it not coming up? [00:26:49] we're going to tell you what experts are watching for when the polls close Tuesday [00:26:53] night. [00:27:01] Live.
