been offering israel concrete ideas for how to try to protect palestinian civilians, but despite the civilian casualties growing, white house officials are doubling down. they say they do not think this is the right time to call for a cease-fire, that it would allow hamas to regroup. instead, they are urging israel to consider these pauses to try to get aid in and get both foreign nationals and hostages out, but again, you heard there, israeli prime minister netanyahu yesterday defiant about the idea. this was also interesting. overnight, a senior white house official told reporters that hamas had been demanding that hamas fighters be allowed out of gaza into egypt as a condition for letting foreign nationals out too. the white house said that was unacceptable. it really slowed those talks down. the white house telling us that about 100 americans and their families have been allowed out of gaza now. they are really hoping, gio, that more will come out this weekend. >> gio: we are all hoping for that too, maryalice.

"i don't think i would be so nitty-gritty that i focused on details like this. this is not what an executive at my level focuses on." >> the last couple days have gone great. >> reporter: he said he and his brother were dragged into the case by their father's political enemies as collateral damage. their sister, ivanka, will testify too. >> do you swear to tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth? >> i do. >> reporter: like her brothers, ivanka trump, who is not a

her. >> reporter: officials say the victims were 43 to 104 years old. the criminal complaint alleging she would administer lethal doses of insulin during the night shift when staffing was lowest and if she sensed a victim would pull through, she'd take additional measures to try to kill the victims, including administering a second dose of insulin. >> and one of those medical facilities where pressdee worked telling abc it shares in the horror and pain she caused. the former nurse is being held without bail, her attorneys saying she is cooperating with investigators. janai? >> janai: really unbelievable story, thank you. this morning, tens of thousands of students in portland, oregon, are waiting to see if they'll be back at school next week as a teacher strike there enters day four. abc's melissa adan is here with the latest on the impacts to those nearly 50,000 students. good morning. >> janai, good morning. so many kids, public school students in portland, are now on

break indefinitely. all 81 of portland's public schools are closed and teachers are on a historic strike, all of this sending about 49,000 students home as they enter the fourth day of their strike. the district and teachers coming to the bargaining table yesterday after not reaching an agreement. both saying they're willing to negotiate through the weekend. so, what are teachers looking for? well, the portland association of teachers are calling for higher wages, about a 20% pay increase, smaller class sizes and more planning time. those demands coming with a $220 million price tag for the district, and the district says they do not have the funds to meet the union's current demands, because the state has not given them the budget. well, the governor telling the school district to work with the resources that they do have right now. but look, on the weekdays, it's a scramble for families to just figure out where to send their kids and of course, whit, all of this with the looming concern of what will happen come monday. whit? >> whit: melissa, thank you so much. turning now to the economy

and a rally on wall street following the latest jobs report, but what could this mean for interest rates and wallet? abc's alexis christoforous joins us with more on what this means. >> that hiring frenzy that we saw post-pandemic appears to be over. the labor department saying the u.s. added a less than expected 150,000 jobs in october, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%, and wage growth slowed. the economy also added about 100,000 fewer jobs in august and september than first thought. wall street applauded the october jobs report, sending the dow up more than 200 points yesterday to cap the best week for stocks in about a year. investors are betting that soft job number will convince the federal reserve to stop raising interest rates. the fed has hiked rates 11 times in the past year and a half to slow spending and tame inflation. so far, it's working. inflation has gone from 9% more than a year ago to 3.7% today.

at the same time, home buyers have seen mortgage rates more than double to around 8% while credit card interest rates have climbed to a record 21%. this week, the fed left interest rates unchanged for the second straight time as it waits for more proof that the economy is slowing. economists say the october jobs report could be that proof, and some say the fed's next move may actually be to cut interest rates before june. guys? >> janai: that would be some welcome news, thank you. it is time now for a check of the weather and somara theodore, you've got a gorgeous shot behind you. >> somara: this is ethereal. i feel taken somewhere. this is beautiful. right now, we're looking at an undercast of mt. washington, new hampshire. cloudy day, that's relative to elevation. we're also looking at bretton woods. the cold did some good. we've got snow being made out there, so the ski resorts are capitalizing on that cold air. it's not as cold this morning.

the quake felt as far away as india's capital, new delhi. >> janai: and at home here, the texas rangers celebrated the franchise's first world series championship ever on friday with a two-hour parade near the team's ballpark in arlington. fire officials estimate somewhere between 400,000 to 700,000 fans attended that celebration. >> gio: big party in texas. congratulations. >> whit: we are going to start here on this half hour with a closer look at the top political headlines this week. joining us are abc white house correspondent mary alalice park and our deputy political director avery harper. we're always talk about the election, 2024, but there is an a off-season one happening in 2023 and some big races, including the issue of abortion. >> right. i'm watching a few key races. there's two governors' races, one many mississippi.

the incumbent victor there, tate reeves, is going up against a democrat named bransdon presley. we think of mississippi as a deep red state, but that race is actually pretty close, and so in kentucky, we're looking at governor andy bashir, going against a republican, who has the backing of senator mitch mcconnell and president trump. all eyes will be on ohio where voters will be casting ballots on the issue of abortion there. abortion is quite literally on the ballot and folks are going to be looking at that race to see what happens in other abortion-related measures that we could see happen next year. >> janai: we remember how it turned out in kansas last year. maryalice, impact want to bring in. president biden visited maine friday to comfort relatives who lost relatives in the mass shooting. he didn't call for a full-on assault weapons ban. >> the white house has called for that, but you're right, this is absolutely going to be an

issue, especially for voters under 40, who have had to grow up as a generation with school shootings. and we saw the president there in maine. he did say that he thought there was consensus was ultimately possible. it's about common sense, reasonable measures. you know, even though he made these sort of remarks about coming together, there's a lot of gun safety advocates who think he's not doing enough, not using that bully pulpit, not talking about enough. he thinks that congress is not doing enough. he's asking congress to literally do anything on this issue. the white house is spending a lot of time instead with nothing getting done on capitol hill focused on the states, trying to help states pass their own red flag laws, and it's interesting that we're going to have this back in front of the supreme court again, just next week. the supreme court is going to hear a case about whether a 30-year-old law that bans people who are under domestic abuse restraining orders can have a gun, and they're going to hear

next spring a case about when the government can, in fact, ban those bump stocks. both those cases could have huge implications. >> gio: such important topic there. and averi, let's switch gears and turn to donald trump. he faces two lawsuits to keep him off the ballot in 2024. we knew about the one in colorado, but we also see one now in minnesota. so, what does this mean for him, looking forward? >> colorado and minnesota are actually just the first states to hold hearings on this issue. we know that michigan is actually going to start oral arguments later this week. and there's other states that could follow suit. this is all about the 14th amendment. there's a clause that came about after the civil war where it says that if takes the oath of office to protect the constitution, and then you participate in an insurrection or rebellion, you should be barred from holding public office. there are legal scholars, including conservative legal scholars, who say that there are grounds based on trump's actions around january 6th for him to be disqualified. we are going to have to wait to see what each of the states

decides in this, but it's very likely that we're going to see the supreme court asked to weigh in. >> whit: something to watch closely. let's talk about gridlock on capitol hill, maryalice. we were talking about the speaker's race before. and now, for people who maybe aren't paying that close of attention, it's confusing what's happening in the senate over the military nominations, hold-ups over something one senator involved, something that has very little to do with the military. where do things stand now? >> yeah, one senator, tommy tuberville from alabama, has put his foot down, and he is holding up, we're talking about nearly 400 promotions. these are military families, totally left in limbo, and right now, republicans are starting to call him out, especially republicans who are veterans themselves. they say this is reaching a breaking point, it is starting to put our national security at risk. now, he is making this protest, making this stand based on the military's policy to let people have time off if they have to travel across state lines to get an abortion. they changed that rule after the

abortion laws changed, and of course the military was under a lot of pressure to offer a policy like this. you had women that were stationed in states where the laws were changing. so, the senate's probably going to have to change the rules. but it was interesting. they did get around his hold-up to make one pretty historic, hugely historic appointment just this last week. the senate confirmed the first woman to run the navy, the top post in the navy. she'll be the first woman on the joint chiefs of staff. >> whit: wow. big move there. they were able to do it once, which shows they can do it again. >> they're determined. >> janai: ladies, thank you so much. it was great having you here. >> gio: we loved this. this was amazing. >> janai: it is time now for another check of the weather and somara theodore has it covered. >> somara: we're talking to the northwest, our friends out there are going to be dealing with rain. here's a beautiful shot, though, in seattle, washington, of the needle. we have rainy and windy weekend conditions in play. so, what we've got going on is this atmospheric river kicking

into high gear. at the onset of this on thursday, they had such strong winds that thousands were left without power. today, we're looking at more rain, and the soaker continues through monday, 11:00 a.m., as a result, flood alerts are in place. how much rain could they see? well, they could see anywhere from three to five inches. some of those hot spots will be medford, eureka, but keep in mind, this rain is coming down consistently and pretty quickly, and that could lead to >> somara: and that's your local forecast. i hope you h >> somara: and that's your local forecast. i hope you have a spectacular day. gio? >> gio: we hope that for you, too. coming up on "good morning america," the milestone moment for missy elliott, the highlight as she becomes the first female rap artist to be inducted into
