Just six days are left until the election
and both parties are heavily campaigning as they look
to secure control of Congress for the next two years
and some of their biggest names are on the campaign trail.
So we have team coverage for you tonight. Fox's Chelsea Torres
is in Georgia where former President Barack Obama is campaigning.
But first we want to get over to Fox's Pete Cudahy.
He is live in Chillicothe, Ohio tonight where
President Donald Trump will be speaking later tonight.
So Pete, what are you hearing from some of his supporters?
Good evening, Simone. Well, President Trump actually started speaking
just about 15 minutes ago, and he's drawn in a lot of support here.
There's about 2,000 people inside and about 1,000 more out
here watching a monitor, but you might not believe this.
I talked to one person who got here at 10 o'clock
in the morning yesterday, others driving hundreds of miles to be here,
and all of them agree on one thing,
that they believe the Republican ticket will win in Ohio.
I would be very surprised if there was not a red wave
in most of these states that he's visiting.
I'm a little anxious about it, but I still think
that we're going to win here in Ohio.
But despite the enthusiasm here at the Trump rally,
Republicans in Ohio may be facing an uphill battle.
Political analysts were calling
the statewide races here a toss-up for months.
But now Fox News' power rankings has changed both the Senate
and gubernatorial races to Leans Democrat.
But Trump supporters, however, say they're not concerned.
They think that polls are skewed and have bias,
so we're hoping that that is the case,
that people are just reluctant to interact with them because they
feel they're too tied in with the media and they're tipping one way.
I feel pretty good about it
because I don't believe that Republicans respond to texts,
emails, or to any polls, and I feel really good about it.
And for many here, their priority in this election is simple.
In the Republican majority, just so President Trump can finish what
he started without having to fight his way through everything.
But Democratic supporters at a Sherrod Brown
and Amy Acton rally say they're also focused on who controls Congress.
Overturning the Republicans. We have to overturn the Republicans.
We need to take over the House, the Senate. We need to take over.
We need to get things back in a right order.
The stops here in, well, Democrats
and Republicans here in Ohio have been pulling out all of the stops.
We saw former President Barack Obama here on Saturday,
J.D. Vance back on Thursday, and then right now, President Trump.
And it's all in hopes of winning this Senate seat that they
believe could be consequential in getting control of Congress.
Simone?
Yeah, they're all making their rounds. Thank you, Pete.
Speaking of former President Barack Obama,
I want to talk about him because he is in the Atlanta area tonight
trying to fire up Democratic voters ahead
of two critical midterm races in Georgia.
Fox's Chelsea Torres is live in Morrow tonight, just south of Atlanta,
where the former president, I believe,
will be speaking soon, right, Chelsea?
Or has he started already?
He has not, Simone. We're still waiting for him.
We did hear from the campaign
that they're running about 30 minutes behind,
so he should be coming up to stage any minute now.
But thousands of people are here to see the former president.
some people even said that they've been waiting
for well over six hours and a lot of voters I
talked to say they just want change
and it's not so peachy at the checkout counter either as prices
continue to go up that's including groceries
and gas prices and one woman even told us that
she has to change her entire diet just to save
a few bucks it's harder to put food on the table
and the prices are outrageous
in the grocery stores I mean I don't even buy meat anymore
It's just that expensive.
Can I ask you, you're not buying meat, so how do you switch to...
I'm vegetarian.
Georgia is a key battleground state once again this election cycle,
and Democrats are hoping appearances
by political heavyweights like former President Obama
could help get voters to the polls in the state,
where more than 2 million people have already voted early.
Tonight, Obama is stumping for Democratic Senator John Ossoff
and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance
Bottoms, who's running for governor.
And as he gets ready to hit the stage in just any moment now,
voters here in Georgia will likely hear a familiar message.
One Obama's been pushing while campaigning
for Democrats across the country.
It comes along, it just feels a little bit different.
People are so ready for something new,
so hungry for something better, so sick
and tired of being sick and tired that everywhere you go...
The Senate race shows incumbent John Ossoff leading
by eight percentage points over Republican challenger Mike Collins.
But it's also notable that 12% of voters are still undecided.
President Trump has already hit Georgia twice ahead of election day,
and the Republican challenger is confident
the race is much closer than it appears.
Let's look at the polls, because you see polls every day.
They're all over the place.
I'm telling you, this thing is neck and neck.
This race, y'all, is sitting right here in front
of us. It's right here. It's ours to grab.
We're seeing good turnout in good areas.
Now, Fox News power rankings do show that the gubernatorial race here
in the state between Republican candidate Rick Jackson and the
Democratic candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms is actually neck and neck.
But tomorrow, Kamala Harris, the former vice president,
will be here in the Georgia area.
And then Pete Buttigieg will also be here on Saturday.
As you can tell, both parties trying to throw everything they can
at the Georgia Orchard to help all of their candidates.
seem to be a busy next few days.
Thank you Chelsea, although.
