4:01 am
light. >> republicans are going to blame mitch mcconnell. >> they were going to have an ethics investigation against him. they avoided a disaster. >> they wanted to see if we were stupid enough to vote for roy moore. i am so proud of the people of alabama for rising up. > it was totally sixist. it was a deliberate takedown. >> he was obviously talking about political partisan games that people often play. this isn't new. >> we know what he was trying to say, and it's beneath the office of the presidency. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> welcome to your "new day". we are following breaking news. alabama elected democrat doug jones to the u.s. senate. jones is becomes the first democrat representing this deeply red state in 25 years. jones defeated the gop scandal plagued and controversial candidate roy moore. roy moore, however, is refusing to concede, at least he was last
4:02 am
night. but jones is clearly the winner. republicans narrow majority of the senate is down to just one seat, which could of course impact president trump from getting legislative wins. >> it is his job to certify this election and we will get the finality from him directly. president trump is conceding that he knew roy moore was going to lose. he said he was right. that's what last night was about, his being right. this is the second candidate backed by the president to lose there. meantime, the president is defending another one of his tweets. this one attacking a democratic senator, arguing that reporters's minds are in the gutter. that's what the press secretary says. that's where your head has to be in order to think his tweet was sexually suggestive. senator gillibrand is firing back and said it was a sexist
4:03 am
smear and she won't be silenced. one for the books down there. >> reporter: that's right, chris. despite that latest tweet from president trump, we saw him throw the full weight of his presidency behind the accused child molester roy moore in the final stretch of this campaign. and in the end it wasn't enough. this wasn't just a loss for moore. this was a stinging defeat for president trump who broke with much of the gop leadership to back this controversial candidate. >> i think that i have been waiting all my life and now i just don't know what the hell to say. >> reporter: democrat doug jones becoming the first democrat in decades to win a senate seat in alabama. stunning the country by defeating embattled republican roy moore in the deep red state. >> as dr. king liked to quote, the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. >> reporter: the moore campaign
4:04 am
refusing to concede. >> when the vote is this close, it is is not over. what we've got to do is wait on god and let this process play out. >> reporter: doug jones's campaign telling cnn, moore did not call jones to congratulate him. but the alabama republican party declaring the race over. >> do you expect anything other than mr. jones being the next senator from the state of alabama? >> i would find that highly unlikely. >> reporter: a source close to the white house describing moore's defeat as an earthquake, telling cnn the results are devastating for president trump who gave moore a full-throated endorsement in the final stretch of the campaign. >> get out and vote for roy moore. the president claiming this morning that he predicted that roy moore could not win a general election and that the deck was stacked against him after citing the impact of the votes last night. a gop official close to the white house says moore's loss
4:05 am
should be a wakeup call by trump who was advised to stay out of the race. >> if they can destroy roy moore, they can destroy you. >> reporter: the conservative leadership fund super pac, which refused to back moore after the rnc renewed their support, blaming bannon for the loss. saying not only did he cost us a senate seat in one of the most republican states in the country, but he also dragged the president of the united states in his fiasco. and he called on step yann to resign. criticizing his in ability to influence mr. trump. the president ultimately siding with bannon, who a source warned mr. trump that a moore loss could embolden democrats to go after mr. trump on the allegations he's facing, allegations mr. trump has vehemently described.
4:06 am
john merrill tells us it will take a couple of weeks to certify election results. it is very likely that jones won't be sworn into the senate until the new year. that gives a new sense of urgency to republicans trying to get it passed before washington. we do not know when we will next hear from roy moore. >> kaylee, thank you very much. >> let's bring in cnn analyst maggie haberman and most of" smerconish" michael smerconish. did you have jones winning last night? >> i didn't have either winning last night. i think the indicator was when the exit polls showed that moore believed the accusers by a margin of 49-45. >> more people. >> than disbelieved, right. >> moore certainly does not believe the accusers. >> i said yesterday this was very unusual in so far as each national party needed to root for the other guy. so i believe that last night was a big victory for the gop.
4:07 am
>> because? >> they have rid themselves of roy moore. others have noted this. every republican in the 2018 midterm would have been saddled with this guy for the next year. so they have vanquished themselves of this individual. >> but there are a lot of people in the white house who do feel that way. >> but they lost a seat. >> they would rather lose the seat -- again, they meaning some of these advisers we're talking about. certainly i don't think mitch mcconnell didn't want to lose the seat but he didn't want to have to own this. they didn't want to answer questions about this over and over again. the issue is whether or not this impacts the tax plan and the belief from the white house is the vote will come in the next few days and therefore it won't matter. they have a way of sliding and falling apart. so we'll see. they are happy they do not basically have to have every single question begin with the words roy moore the next however many months of this.
4:08 am
>> let's look at the incomes. vote iss voter turnout was higher than expected. it was 40%. people were motivated to come out. and the black vote just cannot be overstated here. jones got 96% of the black vote. it was higher than what barack obama got in his election. >> what struck me about the constituencies is often those that you see only every four years. people of color, women, minorities, they were there to be counted, millennials i meant to say. they consequently lead to so many blowouts, they were there. and i think that was the margin. >> the struggle for the president had been from jump to grow the base, right? >> right. >> so now you have had virginia and alabama. and the message is troubling him for the same reason in both. his base is shrinking in these
4:09 am
elections and his ability to grow seems to be nonapparent. put up the numbers for women in alabama. the president did better than this. female voters, jones, 57%. moore, 41%. write-i write-i write-ins negligible. and college educated women, moore pronounced. how much concern is there that the growth they need to see to be viable in the next election is there? >> there is concern. there is concern on two fronts. as michael said, this is a motivated base. there were more than a few white house advisers last night who raised the scott brown race from early 2010. that was a real harbinger in massachusetts of what was going to come in the midterms. they are very concerned about this year. and the president's own advisers
4:10 am
have been saying for months now, your numbers with republicans across the board are tracking down in a bad way. and you do need to pay attention to this. that is still a long way off. a lot could happen. if there are third-party candidates in a number of states, that will likely help donald trump. but this is an electorate that is clearly restless and is going to be hard to keep with the president. also, look, we are seeing there is just a limited to this personality of the president. the republicans have won in special elections over the last year more than they have lost. and they're feeling very good about that. this is a dangerous harbinger. >> let's talk about the allegations and what role they play. exit polling suggests that 52% of the people who voted felt that the allegations were definitely true or probably true. 42% probably false, definitely false. this is interesting, michael. women with children who are
4:11 am
teenagers -- under the age of 18. so the age of the accusers. >> right. >> you know, went overwhelmingly for doug jones. 66% of them voted for doug jones. 32% of them voted for moore. so the allegations, they were a huge factor. >> su my god, that could be my daughter. by the way, it was a razor-thin margin. had roy moore pulled this out i would say he could send roses to gloria allred. even though the yearbook didn't disprove, it could have been outcome determine active. but any critical thinking of the final, eight or nine or whatever it was, allowed people to draw a conclusion that this had taken place.
4:12 am
>> you did see another troubling sign. people who went for roy moore don't believe the allegations. that's upsetting. it means that the truth is becoming a function of political ideology which is always dangerous. but do you think it's a fair statement that it's not just who they voted against. it is what they voted for and maybe this call to decency that was really bigger than doug jones in terms of the campaign message worked, matters? >> i think to a point. but i think that roy moore -- the accusations against hip -- and we have to remember that with the me too movement there is a spectrum of what people have been accused of. everything is not the same. not everybody is harvey weinstein. not everybody is roy moore. this is what he was accused of. it involved children. the president's own daughter said that goes to a different place. and i think people recognize that. but i do think people who wanted
4:13 am
to look at this race, and a lot of people did, as there is a bottom, right? just in terms of how far things can go. that has been the complaint about the president for many months. there is just no bottom on what he can say, what he can do, what can be gotten away with. there was a bottom here. it's not like it was a huge landslide. >> it was two points. >> it was not the partisan lens everybody was looking through. a lot of republicans who didn't vote because they didn't believe roy moore's denials. they did think the preponderance of evidence was there. he will pick whichever picture is more convenient for him in that moment. but he was, according to an aide i had spoken to, put off by the way that roy moore handled that hannity interview where he
4:14 am
seemed to allow for the possibility that maybe this all did happen. you know, there were enough red flags here for people to give them pause. roy moore was not exactly unfavoring in his denials. >> he didn't follow the playbook. he denied it but not the way trump did. deny on every level at all times. >> not only did he not follow that flaw book, and this was said by my colleague colleen. when trump was facing accusations following the "access hollywood" tape, he not only refused to get thrown out of the ring, he refused to even falter. he kept going and kept going. and he showed up in public and continued talking to the media not all media but media. roy moore was basically invisible the final days of this week. there is a reason why. they were concerned that the more he was seen he would shed
4:15 am
support. >> that's really interesting. everybody speculated why wasn't he on the campaign trail. where was he that last weekend. you're saying it was a calculation. he wasn't just m.i.a. >> it goes back to my original premise which is to say if he had to go into the witnes protection program because they are are, just imagine if we had won to roy moore, united states senator. that would have been a disaster for the gop. >> a little bit more of a challenge. they had low fruit roy moore won. what will they do now? they have an extra seat. michael, thank you so much. maggie. coming up in the next hour we will talk with john mayerril secretary of state. >> by the way, we will have beverly nelson of the yearbook thing and what is the final answer on the yearbook signature. president trump under fire for his provocative twitter
4:16 am
attack against senator kirsten gillibrand who called it a sexist smear. the white house is pushing back saying it's us who have our heads in the gutter. joe johns is live in the white house with more. what's the latest, joe? . >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. much of this is a back drop. you have the president's back drop of treatment over women, a big issue in the campaign last year, come roaring back front, center stage in washington, d.c. an insult in the president's tweet just yesterday insinuating senator kirsten gillibrand, the junior new york democratic senator would essentially come begging to the president's office, obviously he wasn't in office at that time, asking for donations, begging for donations and would do anything for them. this was seen as innuendo, sexual innuendo by critics of the president. the view from the briefing room
4:17 am
here at the white house was that people were reading things into the president's tweet that simply were not there. listen to sarah sanders. >> i think all of your mind is in the gutter if you read it that way. he's obviously talking about political partisan games that people often play and the broken system he has talked about repeatedly. this isn't new. this isn't a new sentiment. this isn't new terminology. he has used it several times before. >> reporter: senator gillibrand, for her part, said this was an attempt by the president to silence her, and she was not about to give him the benefit of the doubt. >> it was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice. and i will not be silenced on this issue, neither will the women who stood up to the president yesterday. >> reporter: controversy coming in the midst of the me too movement that is now here in washington, d.c. there are a number of democrats, including senator gillibrand,
4:18 am
calling for the president to step down, however unlikely, and some other democrats are asking for an investigation of the president's treatment of women. chris and alisyn, back to you. democrat doug jones certainly pulled off a huge upset in alabama. an interesting question about what it means. is this in some way the better outcome for the gop everyone though their candidate lost? let's debate that next. (laughter on tv) when it's finally sunday and you've got no plans but with your comfy pants... (alert chime on phone) keep it simple with marie callender's roasted turkey & stuffing. tender turkey with stuffing, creamy mashed potatoes, and made from scratch gravy. spoiler alert, things are about to get good.
4:19 am
(click, laughter on tv) because me time calls for marie callender's. are sure you're wrapping that correctly?ghter on tv) oh, well, it doesn't matter how you wrap it. your gift is already wrapped in america's most awarded network. uh, blanche, it happened again. (announcer) a gift is only as good as the network it's on. this ♪s electricity.
4:20 am
this is a power plant. this is tim barckholtz. that's me! this is something he is researching at exxonmobil: using fuel cells to capture carbon emissions at power plants. this is the potential. reducing co2 emissions by up to 90%... while also producing more power. this could be big. energy lives here. when people ask me for i always tell them the thicker the enamel, the more white you're going to have. i would definitely recommend pronamel strong and bright to my patients. pronamel strong and bright toothpaste helps to actually strengthen the enamel. it's going to keep that enamel strong. it's going to keep it white. patients get what they're asking for. they want whiter teeth. they're going to get it with this. not only what dentists are looking for in a product,
4:22 am
4:23 am
again, bannon must go and go now. was this a democratic victory? was it a little bit of a win for the gop overall? confusing? let's discuss. ed martin and margaret hoover. great to have you both here. if i don't see you, merry christmas to you and your families. you lost a seat. that's bad. but you do not have me beating you over the head with roy moore from now through the midterms. is there a little bit of pass or mine us? >> i heard smerconish say that. the president used a good word, hard-fought election last night. priorities usa spent millions to turn out the vote. and so we were outspent, meaning the republican side, i don't know, 3, 4, 5 to 11.
4:24 am
i think the party will have to regroup. look, i was someone who said roy moore deserved a chance. the people should speak is. the people spoke. the people should not drag this out. we should move on. and we will. and his vision will be part of the future. >> casting him as an under dog is unusual. the president got outspent but he won. how do you take this? >> first of all, if the republican party had fielded a candidate with any sense of moral decency and if the establishment had taken a consistent stand and been morally courageous, we wouldn't have had this issue anyway. the funding problem resulted from the fact that we had a terrible candidate. by the way, this was not all democrat money that went into this race to support doug jones. there was republican money on the sidelines that was frankly maybe not helping doug jones but certainly not helping roy moore.
4:25 am
bannon also for republicans that are not bannon republicans, which for the last two years has been the majority of the party, took a beating on the money side. not only had he lost a serious funder in mercer but there were big republican ceo conservative principles pact, who was supporting roy moore, dick uehline, six figures into this race. bannon is not going to be able to do what he says he will do. so this seriously sets back changing the republican party. >> peter king giving so much legitimacy to bannon.
4:26 am
i world his way in with trump. i always thought he was an outliar. is he that important to your party? >> we are still going to fight this. two years ago we would not have had a party who said they were against trade deals, against amnesty for illegal. it is a big fight. a fight from the old guard establishment and the new way. bannon is the first to say he's not on the ballot. he has focused a bunch of people on those issues of nationalist, populist. that's not going away. >> moore was his guy. he was down in his field jacket, made it about himself in these harangs to the voters. >> mo brooks was his guy initially. i texted this morning with steve. he said off to many people you're going to have good days and bad days. but this is a fight to take back america. that's how people and me out in the country really feel. >> that's the proposition. was this a good day for a bad
4:27 am
day. it was not what they voted against but what they voted for. i know that is upset by the evangelical vote. that is a conversation for a different day. it takes us to the trump tweet about kirsten jim brand. i see this as a metaphor. he seemed to make suggestions that are insensitive if not overtly sexist. did you see this as they were playing with a sexist line when she was talking about she would do anything, begging for money. "usa today" said it was tantamount to calling her a whore. >> everybody knows this is consistent with everything he's done starting with megyn kelly blood coming out of her
4:28 am
wherever. this is consistent. he was doing the exact same thing he has done all the way along and trying to claim plausibility deniability your head is in the gutter. that's absurd. there really needs to be a no tolerance policy from republican women on this kind of language from the hem of their party and the president of the united states. >> ed martin, do you want to endorse what the president wrote? >> i grew up in new jersey. you grew up in new york. trump grew up where he's from. she stepped into the ring. >> he called her a whore. >> as maggie said, this is what he does all the time. >> denigrates women. >> no. he pushes close to the room. ben carson, marco rubio. >> when you say this kind of thing about a women it is different about a man. if you would say is i would do just about everything to get money. he is not going to say, oh, the
4:29 am
president is making a sexual suggestion. >> if you play big league ball, you're going to get fastballs by your head. that's what maggie haberman said. >> she said this is the state of play for how he talks about women. >> no. i think she was -- >> trust me. i got it right. you got it wrong. maggie, it's still the same point. ed is saying this is who trump is with everybody. it's not geared toward her as a woman. do you buy that? >> it is geared toward her because she's a woman. he would not have made that statement to a man. let's not pretend otherwise. in this moment, trump maybe gets away with it today. maybe he has gotten away with it in the past. now there is a moment and we have been talking ad nauseam what is going to be acceptable as how you treat and talk to women going forward. you saw in alabama last night while it wasn't a referendum on sexual harassment it certainly
4:30 am
informed many, many of the voters, these allegations against roy moore. there may be a ticking time bomb on what voters are going to consider is acceptable coming from the president of the united states. and this kind of language. republican women need to draw the line for their party and party leader that this kind of language is not acceptable anymore. >> ed martin, margaret hoover, thank you for your perspectives as always on "new day" and keeping it decent as well. merry christmas to you and both your families. >> thanks, chris. women making their voices heard last night. exit polls show 57% of female voters supported the democrat doug jones over the republican roy moore who faced accusations of child molestation and sexual abuse. joining us now is democratic congresswoman debbie dingell. tell us your reaction. what do you think doug jones's means for democrats and the country?
4:31 am
>> well, i'm obviously glad to see that he won. it continues a pattern that we have been seeing in virginia and new jersey and here. i'm always debbie downer a little. it was a vote for decency last night. and i want to see that return to the public policy debate and return across the country. but i think we have to be very careful to not overreact. i think that the american people in general are still very angry and have the anger that we saw in last november's election. they will hold us accountable. we can sometimes get very much -- too much into the beltway. and i think we've got to really remember what the issues are going to be next november. sexual harassment, how women are treated. they need to be treated with respect will be one. but we still have very big issues like the economy, jobs, trade, pensions, which the
4:32 am
president talked about last year and has not tkphreufrd delivered on to the working men and women. >> you are always good for a sober assessment where you think the country is and certainly your statement i do want to show you one more will poll. this is how women who are mothers of children under the age of 18 voted. okay. so 66% they voted for doug jones over roy moore. so that of course was the age of the women who had come forward to say that he had approached them, he had asked them out. in one case he assaulted allegedly one of them. one was a 14-year-old. can we credit the me too movement here? >> i think the me too was an absolute player in this election and mothers were disturbed by a possible pedophile being elected to the united states senate. i also think we have to figure out -- i said this too from the
4:33 am
very beginning when i first talked to you about this. it's been a really rough couple of months. it's been hollywood, media, capitol hill, all of which need to set higher standards, be leaders. we need to make sure we're figuring out how this is real for the tip waitress, factory worker, lawyer, nurse, teacher. i have heard pretty horrific stories. the question; how are we going to go forward? i keep saying this. i was back home last week. the stories keep getting more horrific. i have a mother at uaw. i have two sons is. i have two daughters. where is this going. we have to learn to treat -- by the way, the seat orb our national seat, the president of the united states was not respectful to kirsten gillibrand yesterday. that was the most disrflful thing. we have to figure out how we treat everybody with respect going forward, men and women
4:34 am
working together. >> you have been saying that. i credit you with saying that first. we have senator gillibrand coming up, just to let our viewers up. you are one of 59 female lawmakers calling for congress to investigate the allegations against president trump. that's easier said than done. here is what chairman of the committee that would do that, trey gowdy said. he's on house oversight and government reform. here's what he says in response to your call for an investigation. allegations brought for now, while serious, do not allege violations of specific criminal stat chutes should be referred to the judiciary committee which has jurisdiction over allegations related to fitness for office and noncriminal matters. >> that now has over 100 signatures. i don't think it's a partisan
4:35 am
issue. i think it will play out in what the values are for a human being, the respect someone shows. we have to work together to make sure it is an institution of integrity, credibility, and respect. and that we cannot have a double standard, which has been in the early days and people are still saying that democrats are stepping up more than republicans are. i think today is a lesson for republicans that this just matters to human beings on a general level. if that's where they're saying to send it, i'm sure the women's group will meet with all of us, get our input. we have to make sure that these institutions, which our leaders in this country are above reapproach. we need to have higher standards. and we can't investigate some people and not others. though i think we've got to figure out -- i keep saying this. because we're in all of these gotcha moments and they matter. we can never excuse anybody's
4:36 am
behavior. we must be full of integrity. but the question is, where is this going? how are we making this real for men and women across the country? that's what i keep focusing on. >> i know. but in terms of congress, where is it going? do you have republicans who have signed onto the investigation? >> i have not seen what happened on the letter, but i know there are republicans that have also said that we should be looking at this. there will be -- anybody that doesn't get this, i would like to see us act in the congress on sexual harassment. >> i mean in terms of investigating the president. >> there are people in the republican party that have said it. and i think some of them have set a public battle. i was talking to some of them yesterday. they think this is the right path to go. i don't know if they said their names publicly. >> do you think they will come public at some point? >> i think one of them has, but i don't want to put the name on. but we'll see. i think people are really uncomfortable. what happened in alabama
4:37 am
bothered human beings and what they saw. and people -- we saw partisan ship. i think the american people are angry but i also think they want decency, calmness. we are so focused on what divides us and not on what unites us. as we go into this christmas, hanukkah holiday season, we've got to bring some stability for americans. how do we pull ourselves -- i'm really in this mood though. how do we pull ourselves together and work together. we have to address sexual harassment in a bipartisan way because it happens in a bipartisan way. we have to get answers, get solutions, pass it, set what the rules are, put a process in place that there is a process that people know how to follow and ensure everyone is treated fairly and then move forward. >> on that note, 'tis the season for harmony. congresswoman debbie dingell, thank you. >> dingell is right.

a major upset in alabama. roy moore lost the senate race. how big of a factor were the eight women who came forward accusing moore of pursuing them as teenagers when he was in his 30s? one woman, you'll remember, accused him of sexual assault. beverly young nelson joins us now with attorney gloria allred. beverly, let me start with you. how are you feeling this morning? >> i'm feeling fantastic. thank you. thank you for having me. >> thank you for being here. what does roy moore's loss mean
4:43 am
to you? >> roy moore's loss means to me the fact that alabama is about to make some changes. and i believe it's going to be in the positive side of things. i'm very excited. i want to congratulate doug jones for his win. i'm super excited. i could not even say more. >> how big a factor do you think the story that you told about roy moore, i mean, assaulting you, there's no other word for it, in the car behind the shopping mall when you were a teenager. how big a factor do you think that played in the outcome? >> you feel like my story may have played a part in this. but i also believe it was the other victims as well that also helped, you know, with all this. i feel like it was just not me. it was all of us. >> and do you feel that the outcome means that the viewers believed you and the other accusers?
4:44 am
>> i do feel like it helped. i really do. i'm very excited over that because, you know, there's no reason for me to go and lie on television when this was the truth from day one. i intend on still pursuing it. i'm not giving up. >> what does that mean? how will you pursue it? >> i believe that he should go before the ethics committee. and i believe that he should be investigated. >> gloria, what do you think this means? >> let me just say that i'm very, very proud of beverly and her tremendous courage and honored to represent her and so proud of all the other women who are brave enough to speak out. last week president trump in pensacola, florida at his rally said gloria allred is involved, something is wrong. what i have to say is, yes, if
4:45 am
