This Morning from CBS News, Nov. 8, 2016
“Core values”
In her last day on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton made few direct references to her opponent, Donald Trump, choosing instead to emphasize the choice facing voters -- a choice, she said, between “division and unity.” Clinton said the nation now knows “who he is,” and painted the election as a test of America’s “core values.”
“Corrupt system”
Republican nominee Donald Trump spent his last day of the campaign barnstorming across battleground states, telling Americans that a vote for him was their last chance to defeat a “totally corrupt system.” He slammed rival Hillary Clinton as a failure and praised his followers, but his overall message was a dire warning them: elect me, or our “movement” is all in vain.
What to watch
Almost 19 months after Hillary Clinton announced her presidential bid, and almost 17 since Donald Trump announced his, Election Day 2016 is finally here. As voters head to the polls to pick the next president of the United States, here’s a CBS News guide to the major points to keep an eye on as the results come in.
Live updates
As polls open on Election Day, the CBS News politics team will be filing the latest updates from the presidential campaign trail in a live blog, updated regularly throughout the day and until the votes are counted.
Protecting democracy
Federal officials are still looking for people who may have information about a potential terror threat linked to the presidential election. As New York City deploys its largest election detail ever to protect polling sites, officials are also worried about online threats, and we get a look inside the government’s secret cyber command center.
Russian motive
A military parade in Moscow yesterday was meant to recall an era when Russia was proud, and powerful -- a status President Putin wants to restore, and one he blames the U.S. for getting in the way of. So did Russian hackers try to meddle in America’s election as a kind of payback?
Markets say…
With millions of U.S. voters set to head to the polls, investors are placing their bets on the outcome of the presidential election. While the contest looks close, financial markets have a clear winner in sight. We look at who investors expect to take the White House.
