CNN Inside Politics: Closing Time

Just 12 hours left in one of the wildest presidential campaigns in American history. And if the polls are right, one of the tightest, with the two candidates offering sharply different visions at recent rallies: Harris: "We have the momentum, because our campaign is tapping into the ambitions, the aspirations, and the dreams of the American people, because we are optimistic and excited about what we can do to together!" Trump: "What a terrible thing they have done to our country. And you're going to say that to her. You're going to say, 'You've done a terrible job, you're grossly incompetent, we're not going to take it anymore. Kamala, you're fired! Get the hell out.'"  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
