of course, with the race for the white house just one week away. this is the final stretch. by all accounts, it could not be closer. >> we want to show you the national poll. right now where we're looking, it's a statistical dead heat. of course, it all comes down to the electoral college and the crucial swing states. and as you can see, yep, it's neck in neck across seven of the biggest battlegrounds as well. >> candidates are now focussing on their final messages. vice president harris is set to deliver her closing argument during a major speech from the nation's capitol. that's tonight. former president trump heading to pennsylvania, while his campaign faces more backlash over racist rhetoric at his weekend rally at madison square garden. we have it all covered including a breakdown of those numbers with steve kornacki and a closer look at the issue of election interference and security. but let us begin with nbc's peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. both campaigns are projecting confidence heading into this final stretch. but by all measures, this race

is going down to the wire, where persuadable voters could decide the election. and the harris campaign right now is hoping the backlash from that weekend trump rally in a series of derogatory comments and jokings there will give them a late lift as both harris and trump countdown to election day. in the campaign's final week the fight is on for the small number of battleground voters who may still be up for grabs. >> can we hear it for our first-time voters? >> we're close to winning this. >> reporter: former president trump's campaign still dealing with fallout from sunday's row kus rally at madison square garden where several speakers made a variety of racist, sexist and crude comments. >> there is literally a floating island of garbage the middle of the ocean right now. i think it's called puerto rico. >> reporter: some republican lawmakers denouncing that joke. trump ally peter navarro posting it gave the other side something to hang on to. it was just stupid. the head of the republican party

in puerto rico saying he would with hold support until trump apologized. the trump campaign has distanced itself from that joke. but trump has not denounced it. his running mate jd vance down playing it. >> i think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little they think in the united states of america. i'm just so over it. >> reporter: harris' team looking to capitalize in a new digital ad targeting swing states. >> puerto ricans deserve better. >> like pennsylvania where president biden won the state by roughly 80,000 votes in 2020. it's home to more than 300,000 eligible puerto rican voters. democrats are hoping the controversy could be a difference maker. the comments have been noticed there -- >> that rally brought up a whole bunch of issues. >> reporter: but some say their unfazed. >> i didn't get offended. >> harris responding to the rally. >> fans the fuel of hate and division. >> reporter: trump saying she stokes division after he's repeatedly called democrats the enemy from within.

>> kamala is running a campaign of demonization and hate. >> reporter: and slamming her for calling him a fascist. >> but she's a fascist, okay. she's a fascist. >> reporter: meanwhile a clear gender gap developed between the candidates supporters, video emerged of a recent hot mic moment between harris and michigan's governor. as president obama on the trail yesterday spoke directly to male voters. >> some men who seem to think trump's behavior is somehow a sign of strength. you know, sort of the macho, fake macho thing. that's not what real strength is. >> reporter: and tonight only a short distance from here with a white house as her backdrop, vice president harris is going to deliver her closing argument, calling on americans to turn the page on the trumper ra from the very spot where donald trump spoke on january 6th, urging her supporters to mar to the capital.

for his part, trump is scheduled to speak before a pair of events in pennsylvania today. savannah. >> peter thank you. a closer look at where this race stands one week away. let us turn to the king of the big board, nbc's national political correspondent steve kornacki. good morning. so here we are. this is the national race. one week out. this is the snapshot. >> and we say it's close, but i think one thing to keep in mind, too, remember the last two elections when donald trump ran, looked very different at this point. so harris with an advantage nationally now on average of 1.1 points over trump. four years ago, on this day, the national poll average was joe biden by 7.4 points. look at that difference. go back to 2016. on this day, hillary clinton's advantage was 4.6. so the polling has just been much tighter this time around. for a long time now. >> there were polling misses in 2016 and 2020. so we'll see how much of a differential that is. let's look at the battlegrounds. we vote by electoral college. this is where the votes really count.

show us the swing states. >> you can tell us how tight they are. the candidate ahead here, the margins are so slim. >> one thing to think about, look at the three where harris does have a small, small advantage. if she does hold michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin, if there's no surprise anywhere else, she will have exactly 270 electoral votes and from trump's standpoint to show you how tight this is, look, the poll right now has -- the average has him slightly ahead in north carolina. slightly ahead in georgia. if he gets those two, all he would need to get exactly 270 is to change pennsylvania where the average right now is just .6 of 1 point to harris. do that and trump has exactly 270. >> well, that explains why the candidates have been parked in pennsylvania for the last couple months for the most part. let's talk about the gender gap. it's really looking like this may well be the story of the election. whose voters show up in greater number in terms of women and men. >> it's fascinating. our own nbc poll found this recently.

now our friends at cnbc with a new poll again showing what would be a historic gender gap. among men, donald trump with a 17-point advantage other harris. among women, harris with a 12-point advantage among men. that's a total of 29 point gender gap. that would be higher than anything we have seen. the one thing i note, though, we often talked in the past about the gender gap helping the democrats. it's often netted out. the republicans think they may be turning the tables again, like in our nbc poll, a bigger advantage for trump with men than harris has with women. republicans think this may net out in their favor this time. that would be a ch that would be a change. that's a big if. >> thank you so much that's where we stand one week out. we'll see you soon, steve. thank you. sg, thank you. another issue surrounding the 2024 race, the safety of election workers and officials who are facing increasing threats as november 5th looms. nbc stephanie gosk joins with us that part of the story. hey, steph, good morning. >> hoe ad good morning. the fbi and department of

homeland security are warning law enforcement nationwide over a thread from violent domestic extremists. that's according to a joint intelligence bulletin reviewed by nbc news. now when voters go to the polls, they will likely see increased security because of that. everything from more police, metal detecters, even bullet proof glass. this morning, with early voting under way nationwide, a growing list of alarming incidents in the build-up to election day. multiple ballot box fires set by incendiary devices in portland, oregon and vancouver, washington. where hundreds of ballots were destroyed. authorities say this suspect vehicle was spotted at both sites. but they haven't made any arrests. >> acts like this are part and intentional. and we're concerned about that intentional act trying to affect the election process. >> reporter: in a texas voting center where campaign materials are not allowed by law, a man alledgedly assaulted an election clerk who told him to remove a maga hat.

>> i can't think of anything like this happening during my time here as sheriff and i certainly hope to never see it again. >> reporter: with election worker safety amok their concerns, state and local election officials tell nbc news they've put in a range of new security measures since 2020. there's bullet proof glass at the board of elections office in maryland. the mail room in durham county, north carolina, soon to be equipped with a panic button. and in maricopa county, arizona, snipers will be set up on the tabulation center's rooftop. in philadelphia, mail-in ballots will be counted in this warehouse outside the city center. >> count all legal votes. >> reporter: four years ago the count looked like this at the convention center downtown. >> we will have a very heavy law enforcement presence. >> reporter: city commissioner seth blue steen says this time around they have more control with gates, fences topped with barbed wire and multiple check points. do you feel like you need that security for this election?

>> unfortunately i think it's necessary. we have to be prepared for the worst case scenario. >> reporter: bluesteen like many election officials faced violent threats in 2020 against himself and his family. father of three moving his family elsewhere during the election. >> it's really frustrating. nobody should feel unsafe doing the job of counting votes. >> a study published this year by the brennan center for justice found nearly 40% of election workers say they are facing abuse and harassment. and over 90% of local officials have taken steps to increase election security for both the workers and the voters, guys. >> just thinking like 15 years ago if we would have heard that story we would have said what are you even talking about? >> four years ago, hoda. >> disturbing. >> thank you, stephanie. >> we have craig with us. what you got this morning? >> savannah, hoda, good morning. good morning to you as well. breaking news overnight. an israeli strike in northern gaza has killed at least 90 people. that's according to the gaza health ministry.

it's heartbreaking but it's also, i'm sure, for anyone that has ever loved an addict knows it is despair and frustration and sometimes anger. >> sometimes you're mad, yeah. you bet. >> one of the problems that it does for families, too, and we don't talk about that as much and i plan to is how destructive it is for the families because nobody knows how to act. >> and we need different ways to address that. and kaitlyn is working on that sort of thing now with some extremely bright people here in canada, who are doing advanced research into addiction. >> reporter: it's a love letter to matthew in the hometown that meant so much to him. >> these are the courts where matthew would play. >> these are the courts, yeah. >> reporter: as a boy, matthew spent most of his days playing tennis at the rock cliff lawn and tennis club in ottawa. >> did he have that charm on the tennis court as well? >> no, he was fierce. >> he was just fierce. he didn't say a word. he went out and he played the

match. >> there is a lot about this place that seems so sweet and gentle and i'm sure brings up a lot of memories. >> matthew went to school nearby. that was when he really started acting. >> yeah. >> he developed the excitement for it, and people thought, this kid has some talent. >> yeah, he stole the show. >> reporter: it's also where matthew met his lifelong best friends, brian and chris murray, whom he credited with inspiring that signature chandler intonation. >> could she be more out of my league? >> that's from, god, elementary school. we had this really nasty librarian. i remember one of us saying something to the effect of, wow, could she be any meaner? you know. and that kind of stuck, you know? and we started talking like that in questions. >> so when you saw chandler bing for the first time on "friends," were you like, wait, that's us? >> yeah, yeah. that was him, too, right?

that's the way we spoke. didn't expect the world to start speaking like that, obviously. >> who wouldn't want to, you know, change the world a tiny little bit. >> chris and brian who was on the foundation's board stayed close with matthew over the years. >> he spent his last christmas here at my house. i know somehow that's comforting. >> how did he seem to you? he just seemed like he had -- he was on the right path. >> he was absolutely on the right path. he was writing. he was reading scripts. he wanted to direct. you know, the book had just put a massive spark in his step. >> a loss that was felt by millions around the world, but no more so than by those that loved the one they still sometimes called manu. >> these are beautiful lights being extinguished from people's families all the time. and i get comforted of thinking that doing the work that we're doing, helping to keep some of

those lights burning, turn them back on, if you will, that's manu. >> wow. >> i love that they still call him manu. one of the girls couldn't pronounce matthew when they were a baby and manu stuck. you know what's interesting about that house where we shot the interview is brian murray's house. that's one of his best friends that you just saw in the piece there. actually, a long time ago, the morrison family lived there. keith and suzanne and the girls and matthew, too, would visit there when he was older in that very house. so there is a lot of memories in ottawa, and it meant so much to him. >> it was such a special conversation. >> we should mention there is a lot more of savannah's conversation. you can learn about the matthew perry foundation of canada at today.com. >> the fact that his life, so much of it seemed to be consumed by addiction. now in his death, his family has devoted their lives and his friends to helping others. >> it is worth mentioning again, keith, our friend from

"dateline," we wouldn't be talking about this so openly if he hadn't talked about it so openly, if he didn't think that will make a difference. and let's hope it does. >> let us switch gears. mr. roker? >> that's going to be his legacy, too. really special. as we take a look today, a lot of sunshine throughout the east. few showers in parts of western new york. record highs through the central part of the country. a fire risk there as well. snowy conditions developing in the
