Former Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Monday explained Donald Trump campaign's biggest "problem" ahead of Election Day.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, the ex-Democratic lawmaker submitted, "Here's the problem the Trump campaign has: They can't reach out to new voters, because he's never campaigned that way. He doesn't believe in bending the knee, and making the tent bigger, and saying, you know, come on in, we can all work together. He believes just motivating with grievance and hate will agitate enough people he will get enough to win. He did it once. He failed last time."

"So who does he need to get right now?" the MSNBC analyst continued. "He needs to get men who have not voted before. And those are mostly young men who have not voted before. Who does Kamala [Harris] have to get? She has to get older women. Now, I'm just telling you, I've run a few races. if somebody told me you get to pick who you need to try to get to the polls, young men or older women, you would have to be an idiot to pick the young men, because they are low propensity voters for a reason. They don't think it matters. They are not motivated."

McCaskill emphasized, "Women are hyper-focused right now on what's happened to us, and especially women of my generation. That's where you see the movement in all of these polls. That's why the [Harris] ad is bugging them about women can vote and not tell their husbands how they're voting. That gets at the heart of those Republican women in the suburbs, like [Ex-Rep.] Liz Cheney, who is saying, 'Hey, this has gone too far. We're going to save our country.' And I'll tell you what, I think I'm going to sit here in a couple days, and i'm going to tell you, I told you women would save the country."
