Watch Hillary Clinton's Final Appeal to Prime Time TV Audience Monday Night
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will make a final pitch to voters in a two-minute prime-time TV ad on NBC and CBS Monday night.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is making her final appeal to voters Monday night with a big splash — an event in Philadelphia with President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and husband Bill Clinton, as well as a two-minute ad scheduled to run on national television during prime time.
“Tonight I’m asking for your vote, and tomorrow let’s make history together,” Clinton says in the ad, which will run on NBC and CBS, nationally — a big jump from her focus on key battleground states.
Although Clinton does not mention Republican rival Donald Trump by name, she notes how "core values" have been called into question in their head-to-head race.

“Our core values are being tested in this election, but everywhere I go people are refusing to be defined by fear and division,” Clinton says, speaking directly to the camera. “Look, we all know we’ve come through some hard economic times and we’ve seen some pretty big changes, but I believe in our people.”
“Working for children and families has been the cause of my life, but it’s never been more important than it is right now. This has to be our mission together: to give our kids and every American the chance to live up to their God-given potential,” Clinton says.

Clinton pledges: “I will work my heart out as president to make life better for you and your family. We won’t always get it right, but you can count on this: I’ve never quit, and I never will.”
On her final day of campaigning, Clinton will appear at rallies in Oakland, Pennsylvania, and Allendale, Michigan, before a rally on Independence Mall in Philadelphia Monday night, where she will appear on stage with President Obama and Michelle Obama, as well as her husband.
However, that's not the last stop of the night. She will hold a midnight rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, with Bill and Chelsea Clinton.
In recent national polling averages, Clinton leads head-to-head match-ups against Trump, with the Democrat holding 46.9 percent support compared to 44.3 percent for the New York businessman, according to averages compiled by RealClear Politics.
