( cheering ) >> reporter: on the last full

day of campaigning, a final plea to get out the vote. >> i'll show up for you for six more years. >> reporter: democratic senator raphael warnock is fighting to keep his job over republican challenger herschel walker. >> you got to vote for something new starting november. >> reporter: the race is locked in a virtual tie, and if no candidate gets over 50%, it could head to a runoff in december. >> you look down here, our polling shows not going to have a launch. >> reporter: florida senator rick scott oversees campaign strategy for senate republicans. you don't think there's going to be a rawive? >> i don't think there will be a runoff. >> reporter: do you think this race will go to a runoff? >> i have every faith in the people of dp that i'm going to win. i'm leaving it all on the field. >> reporter: georgia is one of six tossup races that could decide control of the senate along with pennsylvania where the contest between john fetterman and republican dr. mehmet oz drew three republicans to the trail. >> it's a choice between two

talking about rebuilding the middle class, and tomorrow we'll talk about rebuilding the middled class that gave my family a shot at the american dream. >> reporter: republicans continue to hammer the economy as part of their closing message to voters, while democrats argue democracy is at stake, a critical choice for voters, hours to do before polls open across the country. norah. >> o'donnell: nikole killion at a busy campaign rally, thank you. one of this year's most closely watched races is for pennsylvania's open senate seat. the battle between democrat john fetterman and republican mehmet oz is neck and neck in the closing days of the campaign. jericka duncan is on the ground in pennsylvania where the senate race is the most expensive in the nation. good evening. >> reporter: that's right, norah, with over $350 million spent on that race. right now we can tell you over

1 million of the regmis n in td balre-ivon lotsll, givi9 ng you a sense this will be a fight to the last bitter end for every possible vote. now both democrats and republicans, they're not just calling people, they're sending text messages, but they're on the ground door to door getting the message out. we spoke with one volunteer with fetterman's campaign earlier today. >> people want to be out there. they want to vote, but sometimes they need somebody to remind them, and sometimes they need somebody that's going to tell them their vote is important. >> reporter: this afternoon, i spent some time with republican volunteers from a group called the mighty american strike force. they traveled all the way from texas to make sure voters turn out for fetterman's rival, dr. mehmet oz. what else it about the day before, being on the ground, talking to people that is so

important? >> every door that i go to, i just tell them it's all about the turnout. if we can get enough people out, we can win. so i ask them, when they say they're going to go vote, then i ask them, who can you take with you? >> reporter: keep in mind, there are about 550,000 more registered democrats than republicans here in the keystone state. of course, we'll see if that's enough of an edge to keep democrats hoping to hold on -- or not hold on, but to have the seat here on the senate side for democrats. norah. >> o'donnell: that's right. your vote is your voice, an important reminder. jericka duncan, thank you. in arizona, two of the top races include republican 2020 election deniers and both are in extremely tight races against their democratic opponents. in the race for governor, republican kari lake is going up democrat katie hobbs, and democrat senator mark kelly is fighting off a challenge from

the vast majority vote early, nyree foster plans to go to the polls tomorrow. >> i'm just kind of one of those people i know that it's a need and something i'll follow through on. >> reporter: because these races are thought to be so close, a new arizona law could come into play. any race that finishes within half a point automatically goes to a recounted, and those recounts wouldn't start till december. norah. >> o'donnell: sounds like voters are earn niced. kris van cleave, thank you. for a closer look at control of song and the fate of president biden's agenda for the next two years, cbs's scott macfarlane is here to walk us through the key races that could decide the balance of power. let's start with the senate. >> reporter: good evening, ten battleground states marked in yellow, if democrats win five, they maintain control of the u.s. senate. republicans would need to win six. democrats hold new hampshire, georgia, colorado, arizona, and nevada. republicans hold north carolina,

florida, pennsylvania, ohio and wisconsin, which means republicans have to win a blue state, flip it red to get the minority. they have been so bullsh and spent more than a quarter million dollars in georgia hoping herschel walker can do that. if republicans do, democrats have to win back a red state. that's why there's been so much money and three u.s. presidents in pennsylvania, in recent days. all of this hinges on these ten darlgd states. >> o'donnell: what about the house? >> close margins, we have them in the u.s. house, 218 votes needed for control. republicans have 213 which means they have to win five more. there are more than five endangered democratic house seats in new england, new york, new jersey and virginia alone. norah, republicans could be on a pathway to 218 before much of america sits down for dinner. >> we'll watch that closing. scott macfarlane, thank you. former trump has played an outsized roll in these midterm

elections but he's been teasing a 2024 run and some republicans are worried he could overshadow big wins for the g.o.p. robert costa has more on trump inching closer to an announcement. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. former president trump in hoa, busy on the campaign trail in recent days, but mind the scenes, he's telling his top advisor, his allies he's moving closer to a 2024 presidential bid, could come within case. he'll be at mar-a-lago tuesday night at his florida estate. we'll be closely tracking what's going on there as part of our election coverage. >> o'donnell: and let's talk about the house because republicans increasingly opt missing. what would that mean for kevin mccarthy who wants to be speaker? new developments today, norah. kevin mccarthy on the brink overpossibly being speaker of to house. he would move on is a bored bill should republicans win, and giving his blessings to

aggressive to the wishings and not ruling out impeachment of biden cabinet members or biden. >> a preview of what could be ahead, thank you. president biden has been briefed by law enforcement officials to potential threats to the midterm elections. cbs tells jeff pegues workers have been a prime target. what are federal authorities doing. >> reporter: the f.b.i. is activating command centers across the country for potension of violence hanging over the midterm elections. a recent research warned domestic extremists pose a heightened threat. over the weekend the campaign headquarters of republican gubernatorial candidate kari lake was evacuated after the discovery of an envelope filled with white powder, and while no one was hurt, the scare came as details of threats to arizona election workers were published and a judge ordered masked men

in tactical gear to stay away from ballot boxes. norah. >> o'donnell: so that's potential domestic threats. what about foreign interference. >> reporter: concern about that as well. u.s. cyber officials says china has been active spreading disinformation in a way it hasn't seen before, seeking to sow chaos by manipulating social media. but we're also being told u.s. cyber teams believe the threat from hackers is lower than it has been in the past. norah. >> o'donnell: jeff, thank you so much. and to better understand in election. cbs news has identified key groups of voters whose motivations go beyond party labels, they include pressured parent who are concerned about inflation and their children's well being. in tonight's special edition of "eye on america," cbs's caitlin huey-burns takes a look at how they could be the difference in pennsylvania's high-stakes election. >> you know, really trying to just keep my anxiety at bay. >> anxiety is the word that comes to mind primarily. >> i'm tired. i'm scared, but i'm also

optimistic. >> reporter: we sat down with three parents in the philadelphia suburbs to talk about issues driving theory r their midterm vote, a vote so powerful, it could help determine who controls congress. what else the most imompt issue as you are casting your ballot? >> we have to do something on crime. we have to change that for our children. >> reporter: so what is the most important issue for you is this. >> i am concerned about the lack of self-agency and governance that i have in terms of my body or that my daughter has. >> reporter: abortion access? yes, and i don't understand the conversation when, you know, you hear people say my body, my choice is baloney, but it wasn't when you were talking about wearing a mask. >> reporter: and how about you, g gerry? >> inflation. >> reporter: have you had to adjust to accommodate for things

being more expensive. >> absolutely. i started cutting back and the kids started to see that because i was only buying necessities. >> particularly with a teenage boy in my house and he's eating us out of house and home. >> reporter: these are the issues at the center of the u.s. senate race between democrat john fetterman and republican mehmet oz. gerry gant says neither candidate is a good option. >> no, i'll probably vote third party. >> reporter: the group has dep concerns about the pandemic's impact on their children, but they differed on who to blame. >> they were milestones that were missed, and there were -- with that, there has been an assumption of kind of teacherring your dreams and aspirations. >> reporter: as a parent, that's hard to hear. >> it's hard. you're worried that they are behind. >> they are incredibly behind. we can dig our kids out, right. >> every institution failed them over the past two, three years. >> reporter: do you feel like parents have a voice in this

election? >> everyone that i know understands that it's vital hat they vote. >> i really think every vote is going to make a difference this year. >> reporter: this group of parents had very different political views but they all agreed humanitiy and decency are missing from the political discourse and all just want what's best for their children. >> o'donnell: caitlin huey-burns, thank you. we'll have full coverage of the 2022 midterm elections starting tomorrow night 8:00 p.m. eastern, 5:00 p.m. pacific and see you then. tonight hurricane watches are posted along a 250-mile stretch of florida's east coast. the latest on the storm threat when we return.
