Global Headquarters in New York City. Here's Tiffany Meyer. Good evening and thank you for joining us tonight. Former President Trump seizing every moment in the final hours leading up to the election to campaign in key battleground states. Today he's holding a large scale rally in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has the latest on Trump's campaign. Former President Trump just wrapped up his first of three rallies in three separate swing states here in Lyttots in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Then he heads to North Carolina where he holds a rally there and then in Georgia later in the day. Just last week the Lancaster District Attorney said he found 2,500 counts of voter fraud on applications and Trump really dug into that in his speech. 2,600 votes and I don't think there should be a problem. It was done by the same guy and that guy should go to jail for a long period of time. Now maybe, now maybe he's not guilty but you'd have to do a lot of talking I think. The former president really dug into how he'd prefer to have faster election results rather than it going on for a longer period of time after the election day as well as paper ballots and including voter ID. There's only one reason you don't want voter ID. There's only one reason and that's to cheat. There is no other reason. There's no other reason. He also called into question the integrity of the polls which show a tight race here in Pennsylvania and across all the swing states. The polls, I'm telling you, you can make those suckers sing. You get the right pollster, you can do, and you really do inflict damage when you do like this person from Iowa. Today the election essentially is really, we're talking Turkey, comes out with a poll different from every other poll because it wasn't even in question. It's really the opposite way. I'm way up. Pennsylvania is the largest swing state with 19 electoral college votes and that's why former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are spending most of their time campaigning here than any other state let alone swing state. And here in Lancaster, there are many Amish voters who are coming out in support of Trump. Trump mentioned that during his speech. I also want to recognize our great Amish community. Where are they? The Amish community. They're a church. I love them. I trust their vote. They are the most, and you know what? They say, I mean, you tell me, this is the first time they've ever been involved. They've got on their horse and buggies, right? They don't do machinery. But they made an exception that they're able to come and they're coming to one of the rallies and they made an exception where they can go, but they can't drive. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is holding several events in the swing state of Michigan. Reporting from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Jack Bradley, NTD News. Vice President Kamala Harris is rallying at Michigan State University, attracting thousands of students just two days before November 5th. Our reporter Chris Bobb spoke with Gen Z students outside the rally in East Lansing to hear about the issues that matter most to them and their expectations for the next president. I'm on the campus of Michigan State University just two days before the election. Thousands of students have gathered outside of the Jenison Fieldhouse to hear Kamala Harris speak. I spoke to Gen Z voters on the line who are students here at the university about what their hopes are for the next president. Love Kamala's stances on abortion because that's something like as a woman that's very important to me. As well as like Trump's stances on minorities because I'm part of like a few minority populations so I don't want to see my rights be revoked for a lot of things. We're only getting more and more diverse as a country and Gen Z is very diverse and has a lot of diverse opinions. So I think we're trying to protect everyone's opinions and everyone's rights as much as possible. There's multiple groups obviously on campus of different points of view but I feel like the school is trying to do a better job at like helping students feel safe on campus and still having people be able to share their voices. There was like recently a rally for voting early on campus by the rock and I thought it was really impactful. How many of you have voted early already? You can raise your hands. Okay everyone. So why did you vote early as opposed to waiting for November 5th? For me it was just really important to make sure that I did my part. We're busy college students so having the resources on campus and even back at home I voted absentee ballot so I've had my vote in for quite a couple weeks now. Having the resources to do that early helps us not miss our classes and still be able to participate in our daily lives. So it's really important for me to be able to have that opportunity. With just two days before the election, so far over 40% of Michiganders have voted. That's almost 3 million people have submitted either absentee ballots or have went to one of the early voting sites like we have here on campus. From East Lansing, Michigan, I'm Chris Bobb. Vice President Kamala Harris answered questions in the swing state of Michigan today. She was asked how she voted on a criminal justice reform bill in her home state of California. If passed, it would make the crime of shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders. It would increase penalties for some drug offenses as well. I am not going to talk about the vote on that because honestly it's the Sunday before the election and I don't intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it. But I did vote. Those in favor of the bill say it's necessary to help law enforcement punish shoplifters while those against it say it would disproportionately imprison poor people and those with substance abuse issues. Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend. Harris flew to New York City after campaigning in North Carolina to be on the show. She played in a skit with actress Maya Rudolph, who's been acting as the vice president in recent episodes. The two wore matching outfits and Harris told Rudolph, you got this, shortly before they said the iconic line, live from New York. It's Saturday night. Harris' visit to Saturday Night Live was announced just minutes before airtime and that was the final SNL episode before election day. Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz was in Georgia today and he gave this message to volunteers as he tried to rally them for the final days before the election. Now, for all of you, I recognize this, I am preaching to the choir, but our recital is two days away. What we're going to be doing on those doors is singing to folks. We're not going to sit around and watch the polar coaster, oh, we're winning, oh, we're winning. No, no, no. We are going to win this race, but we have not yet won this race. And that's for the people in this room. This will be won through the states like Georgia. Georgia is a critical swing state that could play a key role in determining who will be the next President of the United States. West Palm Beach officials are stepping up security as they prepare for election night. Former President Donald Trump will be hosting a watch party at the city's convention center and there could be thousands of people there. In a press conference on Sunday, Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said there is no way that everyone is going to be able to fit in the convention center on election night. He also said there will be designated areas for protesters and that no matter how big the crowd is, they won't be allowed to get into the street. The mayor of West Palm Beach said, quote, if you are thinking about or planning on coming to our city to cause problems, don't do it. It won't end well for you. And he said that he wanted residents and visitors to know that they will be safe in the city. On Saturday, dozens of volunteers crowded into Waukesha County Democratic Party headquarters. Waukesha City Council's president is seeing more Democrats than the traditionally Republican stronghold. The room was buzzing with excitement. Actress Jennifer Garner was there to kick off the day's canvassing event. I've had the pleasure of getting to meet people this election cycle in five swing states. Wisconsin is my last stop. Local City Council President Alicia Halvinsleben is pushing forward the effort to get more votes for Democrats in the upcoming election. She says she sees a change in local voters. Things are really changing. I think that the Democrats who have maybe always been here are feeling a little bit more confident because as we see those demographics changing, we're seeing more Democrats in the area. It feels a little bit safer, nicer to be able to come out and say, hey, I'm a Democrat and say it loud and proud instead of hiding under the covers and saying, yeah, I'm a Democrat, but don't tell anybody. I'm out talking to voters today, making sure they have a plan to vote on Election Day. Tuesday? Yes, right down there at the church so you know. Are you planning on voting for Democrats up and down the ticket? Probably. Alright, awesome. Is it okay if I just run through the rest of the candidates with you real quick and then I can give you some information? Sure. I'll just be real quick, I promise. The suburban county west of Milwaukee has historically been considered a GOP stronghold. But in recent years, the Democratic Party has made inroads. The city of Waukesha is actually historically a more conservative area. The county as a whole has been considered a more conservative area, pretty much a GOP stronghold, really. But that has been changing in recent years to the point where the city of Waukesha is voting blue or almost blue, especially in the nonpartisan races where we have the more progressive candidate. The city is just barely going blue. Halvins-Leben remembers a time when people didn't go around telling their neighbors they were Democrats. But a lot has changed since she first moved to Waukesha from Milwaukee 12 years ago. It used to be that people said, I'm the only Democrat on my street. Now they don't say that anymore. I used to be so used to people saying that and I would say, no, no, no, there's at least three more. But now, people know and people are excited. They come outside and they stand on their porch and they want to say, I'm voting for all the Democrats I've already voted or I'm voting on election day because I like to get my sticker, whatever they're saying. They seem to have so much more enthusiasm. Halvins-Leben said that Democrats winning the entire county is unlikely. She shared her experience of canvassing and encountering Republicans. So obviously you still have some people who are really strong GOP, really strong Trump supporters. That's OK. Actually, most people are pretty nice. They don't want to get in your face. People don't want to be confrontational. She explained how the rise in local Democratic voters in the area is visible and said people want to help get more. I was out here for the 2012 election and we did some canvassing. It was a very different atmosphere. There were a couple of people. We were all just kind of sitting in a circle chatting for a little bit and then we took out our turfs. Now our office is filled, especially for GOTV and GOTV weekend, which means get out the early vote or get out the vote. Our office is packed. We barely fit in there anymore. She said even though she is seeing more local Democratic activity, the wider area still has many more Republicans. On the final day of early voting in Ohio, thousands of voters turned out, lining up since the morning to cast their ballots. We feel good about it. There's a lot of people coming out to vote. That's exciting. A lot of people started queuing up about 10 a.m. this morning. So we've just started voting. So this line will move very quickly. These voters have an opportunity to vote. I think on the last day of early voting, people expect to see a line. And I think most people you'll find are very pleasant, very happy. People are ready to vote. So I think our voters, they know what to expect. So they're ready. They're ready for it. We have great weather. According to the Ohio Secretary of State's office, over 2.3 million ballots have been turned in, of which 1.4 million were early, in-person voters. The rest are mail-in ballots. Both campaigns are putting in their final efforts in the swing states. Here to discuss the matter with us is Jeff Couere, the political analyst and host of the Ringside Politics radio and TV show. Welcome, Jeff. At this point, looking at the candidates in the swing states, what would you say their main goals are at this point? You know, I think it is right now just a push to get all the people that they've identified as their supporters that they've ID'd to the polls. It's just get out the vote at this point. I don't think there's much persuasion left. I don't think we have too many undecided voters left. It's just which side can get out their base the most will probably win this election. And all indications are it is very, very, very close. We've seen from candidate Harris a particular focus on men, Trump focusing on women, both candidates focusing on black and Latino voters. How do you think they're going in this regard? Well, Harris is not doing as well with black and Latino voters as Clinton did, as Obama did, as Biden did. So this is a growth area for Donald Trump. So that's why this election is closer than it was in 2020. Trump is pulling ahead of where he was four years ago. And a big reason is he's doing better with minority voters. He's connecting with especially African-American men and Hispanics, I think, because of the border and also because of the bad economy. So I think that is helping him gain in those areas where in the past it was a real problem for Republicans. Trump might get more African-American vote than any GOP candidate since Richard Nixon. So it might be a real positive for the Trump campaign. We'll have to see if it materializes, but that's what it's looking like right now. And with Harris in Michigan, why is Michigan such an important state for Harris? She's got to win. She's got to win these blue wall states because, you know, there's seven what they call battleground swing states, very, very competitive states. And, you know, polls show President Trump doing well in Arizona. I know North Carolina, he won last time, so probably has the edge there. Harris is hoping to continue what Biden did in Georgia four years ago and win Georgia. That's going to be difficult. Nevada has been trending well for the GOP in early voting. So she's got to hold the blue wall, which is Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. If Trump wins the four Sun Belt swing states and picks off one of the blue wall states, then he's president. So she's got to hold on to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which is why, you know, so much focus is in those areas. And there has been some trouble with Muslim voters in Michigan. Some groups have come out for Trump. So she's trying to really put that base back together. Biden won it in 2020. She's hoping to replicate that this year. It's very tight. I looked at a poll before coming on and it's basically tied. All of these states are very, very close. With things as tight as they are at the moment, what what could either candidate do to really break the tide, do you think? You know, I think at this point, even like a last minute gaffe or a surprise is not going to have that big of an impact. Harris went on Saturday Night Live last night. That was a way maybe to reach some voters that aren't typical voters, maybe some of the younger voters watching SNL to connect with them, maybe helping her. So she took some time off the campaign trail to make an appearance on that show. And then what Trump has been trying to do, I think, is to maybe pick off one of the traditional blue states to give himself a little bit of a cushion. That's why he went to Virginia yesterday to see if he can translate the popularity of Glenn Youngkin into a win for himself, because the governor there is Republican, very popular. So he's hoping that will translate and maybe help him pull off an upset in Virginia. So that's interesting because that's not one of the seven battleground states. But he went there yesterday that shows that he believes he can maybe pull off an upset there. And just lastly, Jeff, what should viewers be looking for in these final days that might signal the outcome for the election? Well, I mean, I think it's going to be a it's going to be a long night. My prediction is we're not going to know, I think, on election night who the president is going to be, because so many of the states now have delayed processing and counting the mail-in ballots, the absentee ballots. So it could be a situation where it might take a few days before America really knows who the winner is. I do think we'll have an answer as to who's going to control the House and Senate. And that is very close. My prediction is the Republicans are going to be able to control the Senate and the House is pretty much up for grabs. So that's good. I could go either way. I think we'll know that answer. But I think it's going to be a little while before we know who the president's going to be. Thanks for your insights, Jeff, and for joining us at these tense and tied times. Yes, indeed. Thanks for having me. Spain is dealing with the aftermath of its deadliest flooding in modern history.

Police in New York City are dealing with a dangerous trend among young people that has claimed six lives so far this year. It's known as subway surfing. Subway surfing. It's possibly one of the most dangerous trends to gain popularity on social media. It involves riding on top of a subway car while it's moving. Police in New York City say six people have died so far this year trying the stunt. You know, we didn't know anything about, as a young person growing up in South Jamaica, Queens, we knew nothing about likes. We knew nothing about someone clicking on our photos or pictures. We walked around with a Polaroid and we were lucky if 13 people saw it. In September, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York City Mayor Eric Adams said they were tackling the problem. They made a deal with social media companies to take videos of subway surfing off their platforms. The MTA reported last week that 10,000 videos had since been removed. Now you have 30 million people watching your likes. That becomes intoxicating and it's an adrenaline rush. And then you compete to see who can do something more dangerous on top of the train in the process. And that's why we have changed the dynamic and we have met this threat head on. Officers have arrested more than 180 people related to subway surfing. Police have also launched a new ad campaign to raise awareness of the dangers. Sean Marshall, NTD News. The presidential election is right around the corner. China is seizing the chance to boost its military presence in the Indo-Pacific. NTD's Flora Hua brings us the latest. Zooming in on Taiwan, the island's defense ministry said earlier on Sunday that China sent nearly four dozen warplanes for drills in the Western Pacific. Similar activities have continued for two days. And for the first time, China conducted a dual carrier operation recently. The move is seen as the Chinese navy flexing its muscles in the South China Sea. One of the carriers, the Liaoning, participated in Beijing's war games near Taiwan last month. Now more on China's maritime power. A new satellite image suggests that China might have built a new aircraft carrier. It was captured by Planet Labs a few weeks ago. A former U.S. Navy submarine commander said the size and shape of this vessel is much smaller than any other carrier China owns, meaning it could be the world's first civilian carrier. And zooming further out, Russia recently sent its most advanced fighter jet to China to take part in an airshow next week. Known as the Su-57, the Russian jet is seen as a counterweight to some of the U.S.'s top warplanes. The fighter jet is equipped with stealthy capabilities and modern weapon systems. Analysis suggests Russia may be using this airshow as a platform to expand its defense exports. Flora Huat, NDD News. Over 200 people are now reported dead in southern Spain. That's after what's being described as the country's deadliest flooding in modern history. The Spanish royal family traveled to affected areas today, where some protesters directed their anger toward the monarchs. Some demonstrators threw mud at Spain's King Felipe VI as he arrived in one city badly hit by the flooding. A Spanish broadcaster reported the country's prime minister was evacuated from the scene. Police had to step in to keep the crowd back. Some protesters wielded shovels and poles. Meteorologists say a year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours in parts of Valencia. This caused pileups on highways and submerged farmland. Many are still without drinking water and basic services. The yearly marathon kicked off in the Big Apple today, bringing together thousands of runners and spectators. Dutchman Abdi Nagui survived a tense battle through the final mile to win the New York City Marathon. He finished in two hours, seven minutes and 39 seconds. In the women's race, Sheila Chepkire led a canyon sweep of the podium, finishing in two hours, 24 minutes and 35 seconds. The 2022 champion Evans Chabette seemed destined for victory until the final 400 meters, when Nagui pulled away, forcing Chabette to settle for second place. Chepkire ran a technical, flawless race, hanging in with the lead pack from the start and denying defending champion Helena Biri in a gritty final mile to collect her first major title. Biri completed her third-place Olympic finish just 12 weeks ago in Paris. Thank you for tuning in. I'm Brendan Fallon. Have a great night.
