Hillary Clinton is telling young people in a conference call with primary rival Bernie Sanders that it's "all hands on deck now."
She says millennials "will decide this election" and is urging them to vote. She's asking them to do phone banking in their dorm rooms and canvass neighborhoods in the final days.
Sanders said on the call that Clinton will bring the country together and the stakes are high for policy issues like climate change. He says "the future of the planet is at stake."

Hillary Clinton is going prime-time on the eve of the election.
Her campaign says she'll do a two-minute national TV commercial Monday night, running during the NBC program "The Voice" and "Kevin Can Wait" on CBS.
Altogether, her campaign expects the ad to be seen by a combined audience of 20 million.
Earlier Saturday, her campaign debuted a battleground-state ad to run through Election Day in nearly a dozen states. It's set to the Katy Perry song, "Roar."

Hillary Clinton is cutting a speech in South Florida short, after a sudden downpour. She told the soaked crowd, "You're a hardy bunch" and asked them to "vote for the future."
Clinton left the stage after speaking for seven minutes. The event is expected to be her last in Florida, where her campaign has been encouraged by high levels of early voting among Latinos. About 60 percent of the state is expected to cast ballots before the election Tuesday.
She's heading to Philadelphia, where she's hosting an event with pop star Katy Perry.
Also in Florida, her running mate, Tim Kaine, urged supporters to take advantage of the last day of early voting in the state.
He told a rally in Fort Myers that early voting helps Clinton decide where to spend time and money in the final days.

Melania Trump is back campaigning for her husband.
She joined him Saturday in Wilmington, North Carolina, telling supporters the country needs a president who will keep the nation safe, lower taxes and bring back jobs.
Earlier this week, in Philadelphia, she delivered her first speech since the Republican National Convention.
She says she had so much fun she "decided to do it again."

House Speaker Paul Ryan and Donald Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, have joined together in a sign of Republican unity.
They appeared at a rally Saturday in Wisconsin's most conservative county — a month after Ryan said he would no longer defend or campaign with Trump.
Both Pence and Ryan said it's time for Republicans to "come home" and vote for Trump. Pence heaped praise on Ryan, calling him a friend and great conservative leader.
Just days earlier, Pence refused to say whether he thought Ryan should be re-elected as speaker.

Hillary Clinton is courting voters in a Haitian-American neighborhood of Miami.
She told cheering supporters holding Creole campaign signs that Haiti has been close to her heart for a long time. She urged them to get to the polls to vote.
Her husband helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the country as a United Nations special envoy after the 2010 earthquake. Hillary Clinton visited multiple times as secretary of state and her family foundation has been involved with aid programs in the country.
Some Haitian-Americans question the success of the Clintons' relief efforts and blame them for some of Haiti's corruption.

Donald Trump is scheduling a last-minute stop in Minnesota as he tries to make inroads into traditional Democratic strongholds during the final frenzied days of the race.
Trump is also expected to campaign in Pennsylvania and Michigan, two other traditionally Democratic states.
Trump says, "We're going into what they used to call Democrat strongholds where we're now either tied or leading."
Minnesota hasn't cast its electoral votes for a Republican since 1972.
A Republican hasn't won Michigan or Pennsylvania since 1988.

Hillary Clinton is stopping by an early voting location in Miami to encourage her supporters to cast their ballots as soon as possible.
The Democratic nominee visited the West Miami community center where Florida Sen. Marco Rubio voted earlier this week for himself and, he implied, Donald Trump.
Clinton was accompanied by singer and actor Jencarlos Canela, and Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin.
Columbian dancers were among the supporters who turned out to cheer Clinton.
She is making a final swing through Florida before Tuesday's election. A majority of voters in the state are expected to cast their ballots before Election Day.

Donald Trump is bragging that he doesn't need celebrities like Jay Z to fill up arenas.
Trump tells a Tampa, Florida, rally that when it comes to drawing crowds, he does it the old-fashioned way, by appealing to supporters drawn to his message. He's contrasting his events with the star-studded rallies of Hillary Clinton in the final weekend before the election Tuesday.

10:30 a.m.
Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence says Hillary Clinton "personifies" the failed status quo.
The Indiana governor told a crowd of hundreds in Holland, Michigan, on Saturday morning that Donald Trump would push "commonsense conservative principles" if elected president. It is Pence's third consecutive day of campaigning in Michigan, which has not backed a Republican nominee in 28 years. Trump is hoping to change that Tuesday.
Pence is urging Republicans in conservative-leaning western Michigan to "come home" to the Republican candidate to keep Clinton from shaping the Supreme Court.
Pence is set to also campaign in Wisconsin and Virginia on Saturday.
