01:33We got a war going on and she's out partying.
01:36At least we're working to make America great again.
01:39That's what we're doing.
01:41With less than two weeks to go before election day, the two contenders will continue to hold
01:47rallies, particularly in the seven key swing states, where they are still neck and neck
01:52in the polls.
