relationship with vietnam or other countries, it just sort of delays things. what you see at these cops is frustration because the whole world can't come to these ideas. like the opec of wind with holland and other countries to help ramp up wind production, and costa rica just backed away from something they started along with denmark, the first country to move past oil and gas. because of putin's war, the energy crisis now, it's so much harder. the mood has changed in just a year. the strangle hold of fossil fuels is still there and the loss and damage thing is starting to move. the big countries are starting to reach for the check they promised to pay almost a dozen years ago. there's a lot for the president to do to win over parts. >> appreciate it. >> you bet.

>> right now, votes still being counted in critical undecided house and senate races. those will help determine which party will ultimately control congress. an election night red wave didn't materialize for republicans. they are on track to win a narrow majority in the house. again though, a lot of seats that haven't been called. 35 uncalled house races. republicans are leading in 11 seats. they're going to need nine here to retake the majority. >> senate much tighter. republicans have 49 seats confirmed. democrats with 48. control depends on three states. two, nevada and arizona, still too close to call. georgia is headed to a december runoff after neither candidate managed to get 50% of the vote. back to georgia. >> deja vu all over again. let's start in nevada where thousands of votes remain to be counted. rosa flores is live for us this morning in clark county.

what is the latest in terms of outstanding votes this morning? >> reporter: you know, it's difficult to tell, erica, and that's the point that officials have been making is that they just don't know exactly how many ballots are out there because this is the first midterm that nevada has universal mail ballots. that all means is that every registered voter, all 1.8 million of them, received a ballot in the bail unless athey opted out and so long as they placed that inside a mailbox and it got postmarked on election day, it can be counted until saturday. so there's why there's this uncertainty and the races here right now are razor thin. let me go through those quickly with you because in the u.s. senate, republican adam laxalt, has a less than 3% margin ahead of democratic incumbent catherine cortez masto. that's razor thin.

governor's race. the republican had a less than 5% gain over the incumbent governor. the secretary of state race, the republican has a less than 1% lead over the democrat. now this is what we've been hearing from officials here in nevada. it is just unclear exactly how many ballots are out there. they are of course waiting to count all of them and there are tens of thousands that we know for sure. there's about 80,000 of those that we heard from the clark county registrar yesterday. these were either in the hundreds of drop boxes that had not been counted on election day or they were mail ballots that were received and are yet to be processed completely. so those tens of thousands are still not reflected in the results that we just talked

about. so clear as mud at this point. >> yeah, as always, a lot more votes to be counted. that's the important part. thanks very much. >> in georgia, the two top senate candidates will face off again on december 6th in a runoff race that could determine control of the senate. how did we get there? neither democratic senator reeshed the threshold so it automatically triggers the runoff there. control of the senate potentially on the line here and perhaps not surprisingly plenty of money already being poured into the state in both campaigns. >> all right. so let's break down the numbers. closer look at what we're seeing particularly in these outstanding races in arizona and nevada. john is at the magic wall. did such a great job last hour. and folks like me who need it slowly. >> believe me. i need it more slowly than

everyone. one thing i want to point out, it may come down to the runoff in georgia in december or maybe not because you have nevada and arizona. if either party wins nevada or arizona, they would control the u.s. senate no what thor what happens in georgia. i want to focus on arizona and what could happen. right now, mark kelly, the democrat, leads by 95,000 votes. actually, his lead grew as more ballots were processed overnight in maricopa and pima counties. i'm going to give you the percentages there of what happened last night in a second. what i want to show you is how blake masters could potentially depending on how the rest of the vote comes in, make up that gap. let's put up the black board here for a second. there are 560,000 votes remaining. i'm going to write that down. if he were to win, blake

masters, 60% of the remaining vote, let's do times 60% here. that would give him 336,000 votes. the important number here, which i will write down for you, is that would net him, and i've got to put my glasses on for this. that would be a net, a net of roughly 112,000 votes. which you can see is greater than the margin separating them now. so if you're blake masters, oh, that's a good thing, but, but let me swipe this out here. this is why i want to tell you what happened last night. there were more ballots counted in maricopa county last night. 61,000 votes counted in maricopa county. and i told you that blake masters, he's looking at 60%. well, who got more votes in that batch counted overnight? it was actually the democrat,

mark kelly, who got 55%. so in the ballots that were counted last night, blake masters not hitting the numbers he would need there. the same thing was true in the south in pima county where there were 13,000 votes counted last night. within that batch, mark kelly, not blake masters, got 67%. so if you're looking at this, and you're mark kelly, you're thinking, oh, that's a good thing. but on the other hand, i've given you the one hand, the other, now back to both hands here. we just doen't know. the remaining 560,000 votes, what that will look like. in arizona, historically, the later the ballots have arrived, the more republican they have been. we're waiting until tonight to see that batch, what that looks like, to get a sense of what direction this might be headed. but wanted to show you the path for blake masters if it goes a certain way. >> breaking it down. we'll be watching in the coming

days. thanks so much. >> and as we all wait here to see just how those votes are going to fall, president biden is already touting democrats midterm performance, calling it a good day. >> mj lee outside the white house. this is an expectations game. obviously outperformed expectations, but poised to lose the house and the senate still hanging in the balance. so what is the sales pitch in effect post election from the president? >> you heard directly from the president yesterday and saw him sounding victorious and defiant unlike a number of his pre predecessors who after their first midterm election had to really promise a major course direction change for the country. the president saying that regardless of who ends up controlling congress, he is going to largely stay the course. he said he's willing to continue working with members across the aisle on important issues like bringing down inflation. national security issues. he also said that he is very

much prepared to exercise his v veto power if he sees republican efforts to undo some of his major accomplishments. this is more of how he talks about how he wants to govern in the next two years. >> what do the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people's opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for president in 2024? >> nothing. because they're fine finding out what we're doing. the more they know, the more support we'll see. the problem is that major piece of legislation we passed, some of it bipartisan, takes time to be recognized. so i'm not going to change the direction. >> one area where he acknowledged there's more work to do was on the economy. he said he understands a lot of families across the country are still feeling frustrated and feeling a lot of pain and just looking ahead, he does go aboard

tonight in part to attend the g-20 summit in indonesia. so we're going to get a good sense of how he now talks to foreign leaders about what's at stake in the u.s. now that the midterm elections are somewhat behind him. >> never seems to end. thanks so much. >> you just heard there president biden doesn't have any plans to change direction, but what about the gop? there's plenty of speculation this morning that a possible gop showdown between former president trump and florida governor ron desantis is more and more likely. a faceoff president biden says would be interesting. >> who do you think would be the tougher competitor? ron desantis or former president trump and how is that factoring into your decision? >> it would be fun watching them take on each other. >> fun to watch. joining us now, cnn politics reporter and editor at large, chris cillizza. president trump may be feeling heat a little bit after

republicans appear to have underdelivered. that's not how he's spinning it, important to note. conservative media has a pretty interesting take on these results. >> yeah. i'm using this term advise bly. there are some cracks in donald trump's support among conservative media. i want to show the "new york post" cover. donald trump as hufmpty dumpty. this is the "new york post" being the "new york post." it is worth noting that on the day after the election, they had a headline about desantis and how strong he was. on the second day after the election, they have a headline about donald trump and maybe him losing his grip on the republican party. on a more serious note, "the wall street journal" editorial board has an editorial that makes the point that i've tried to make to people over and over again. just in pointing out donald trump's record. he's won one race. 2016. he lost the house and the senate during his time in office for republicans. and he lost the 2020

presidential race. then you go to 2022, there have been losses there, too. so i think you're seeing, erica, some, some elements of discontent within the republican party about donald trump. i hesitate to say that's the entire party. i think we have to be careful in making generalizations like that. but there's at least some. >> yeah. remember on january 7th, 2021, there were a lot of folks pronouncing the end of the trump right reign as it were and things change nd the wake of that. when we look at a potential trump desantis showdown here, first of all, is that realistic? does desantis openly step up to him? what does it look like? >> i think it's realistic. i think desantis is putting the pieces together to run. i want to cite a couple of things from the exit polling. this gets to the be careful about general sizations about trump. 23% had an unfavorable opinion so he's still popular within the party. let's not say it's all over for

trump. but i want to go to the desantis nu number. in florida, he was asked would you want desantis to run for president. these are people who know him. 72% said yes. so i think there is some momentum for desantis. he raised a ton of money. $200 million for his campaign. he has a lot of that still left on hand. he had a huge night compared to the republicans more generally and compared to trump more generally. so i think we may see this fight and i think donald trump is worried. >> wouldn't be surprised if he was a little worried. thank you. >> thank you. >> we will hear the attacks and nicknames. up next, i'm going to speak live with republican congressman and member of the january 6th committee, what role he believes the former president played in these midterm results and how a trump desantis showdown looks to

him. >> plus, back live to florida. the state once again hit by a major storm. we'll take a look at the latest track. this is now tropical storm nicole, but it made landfall as a category 1 hurricane earlier this morning. t here! i was busy cashbacking for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited. ♪ ♪ think about the best night's sleep you've ever had. at tempur-pedic, we're dedicated to helping you sleep like that.

"the wall street journal" editorial board wrote this morning a piece titled trump is the republican party's biggest loser. it reads we're quoting here, since his unlikely victory in

2016 against the widely disliked hillary clinton, mr. trump has a perfect record of electoral defeat. the gop was pounded in the midterms, mr. trump lost himself in 2020 then sabotaged georgia's 2021 runoffs by blaming party leaders for not somehow overturning his defeat. that gave democrats control of the senate. joining me now to discuss, republican congressman, adam kinzinger of illinois. thanks so much for taking the time this morning. you've heard the editorial. that not limited to that newspaper and i should note you've been saying for some time that support for trump among gop voters is weakening. is this election in effect the fourth in a row that trump as leader of the party has lost. is it it for the former president? >> no. i don't think this is it. i think it's going to take a number of losses for the gop to kind of fully exercise, if you

will, the trump influence, the trump thing. and we'll see what happens. this is a blow to him and while it's probably i guess a decent election for republicans likely to take the majority, possible to take the senate, it's not what was expected. going to have to be a lot more hits to trump. here's the real question we've got to watch over the next week. does donald trump try to throw kevin mccarthy under the bus for this? which of course he will, but it's never donald trump's fall. that's what's going to be kind of rich to watch, frankly. >> if he throws mccarthy under the bus, is mccarthy not the incoming speaker of the house? >> i think it's very likely. again, mccarthy's put together a strong play for speaker, but where donald trump can have an influence is if he decides people like jim jordan, matt

ga gaetz. it's also quite possible they give kevin the speakership and make his live frankly a living hell over the next year or two. >> let's talk about effect for the race in 2024. you have said this makes that race wide open. that it might open a path for a moderate candidate not named trump or desantis. who exactly has a potential path to that nomination? >> that's what i don't know. you can look at names like tim scott, who i think is, can really bring a different kind of perspective to the gop. there's people we're probably not even talking about. the question is who has the courage to do it. even when you're looking at the desantis thing. he had a strong night, but the question is does he turn around and take on donald trump? you're going to make most of the base of the party upset. you're going to have to win that fight. i think that's the real question

is who's got the courage to do it and who's going to go out there with a strong message. to win in a primary, the message can't be that necessarily trump is awful even though many of us believe that. it's got to be hey, it's time to move on. here's a vision for the future because the one thing the republican party has been lacking is a vision for the future or ideas for the future. we've got to get back to that. >> do you run in 2024 for the republican nomination? >> no. certainly not my intention. i'd never rule anything out, but i'm excited to frankly be out of the house. i have an organization country first. by the way, country one st.com. we're going to take on toxic tribalism. there's a ton of stuff that unites as americans, but nobody's focusing on it. >> does a trump desantis battle for the republican nomination weaken both of them as potential republican candidates in 2024?

>> i would say no for desantis. yes for trump. the thing trump's got going for him is everybody's too scared to take him on and those that do end up getting excommunicated from the party. so if somebody takes him on with a big following in the gop, that's devastating to trump. for desantis if he does it and comes out on top, i think it refines him. helps him to build his own brand. every time at this point in time in a race and primary, the front-runner has never ended up being the nominee. you think of basically every election. maybe a different situation now. >> you heard president biden when asked if he's going to course correct it all following this election because looks like the democrats will at least lose the house here. he said i'm not going to do anything. i'll do nothing. are he and democrats missing a lesson from this election as well? >> they really are and this is

their big risk they run is that they had a better than expected election so it's hey, we're doing everything right. look, it's not. i mean, i think the january 6th committee, the attack on paul pelosi had an impact and dampened republican turnout. also invigorated republican turnout, plus abortion. inflation is a huge issue. the border is a huge issue. crime is a huge issue and look at wisconsin. the democrats lost to ron johnson. one of the most disliked politicians in the country because they put up wrong candidate. democrats still have to put up people that can attract the center. you guys would have crushed ron johnson if he would have put up a different candidate. >> and they lost a lot of seats in normally blue new york in the house as well. >> final question, you mentioned the january 6 committee. as you well know, the committee gave trump more time to turn over subpoenaed documents. any remains under subpoena we should note for his own

testimony? is it like, realistic, that he testifies to your committee? >> we'll have to see. it's expected. it's the law. if he doesn't, he'll have to answer to the american people for that because our time is limited on this committee. we're going to continue this investigation as long as we can. really i think a loftt of the focus is looking at doj and what they're going to do, but it is the law donald trump show up to our committee to sfpeak to us. >> congressman kinzinger, good to have you on. thanks so much. >> you bet. still to come. from advertising struggle to a chaotic rollout of a new pay for verification process, what is elon musks new message as the company faces fresh scrutiny? more than 75 million meals, ie when people needed it most. but there's still work to be done. thank you, claire. this year, we'd like to invite you back to jersey mike's for another special weekend. come in november 19th and 20th, where 20% of all sales

tropical storm nicole weakening right now after slamming into florida's east coast, hitting the state with those heavy rains and powerful wind gusts. >> layla santiago is in new smyrna beach, florida. people there still recovering sadly from ian a few weeks ago. i wonder what you're seeing there now. >> reporter: when we last checked in with you, we were in titusville and now we've moved further north to assess the

damage, which is what officials are going to be doing today. we'll show you what it looks like. you can see how the water continues to rise, which earlier today, emergency officials had said they were really concerned about high tide and what was coming in in terms of the water here and let's head over and show you part of the reason why that's such a concern. the flooding that all of the officials warned about are now being, is now really starting to add up. i can see it more as expected. now, as you mentioned, jim, this is an area, i know we focused a lot on the southwestern part of florida when ian sort of decimated the state, but this is an area that also had quite a bit of flooding. so it was already vulnerable to what happened six weeks ago. enter nicole. so now we have more rain, more water, more winds. rain gusts. just take a look at this tree right above.

you can see this is far from over. the wind gusts still coming in as the back end of nicole makes its way to where we are right now. so as i mentioned, the other major concern here especially here, coastal erosion. take a look at some of the images that we have from homes and strauctures deemed unsafe directly correlated to coastal erosion. homes just teetering on the edge and in danger of going in. so they are dealing with power outages as well across the state. before the storm hit, they had 1600 linemen on stand by ready to go, but the big portion of this storm right now, what's impacting people now, the potential power outages, flooding as well as the coastal erosion. >> good to have you there. please keep yourself and your team safe. >> facebook's parent company

says it will now layoff 11,000 employees. that's the most significant job cuts we've seen in the tech giant's history. mark zuckerberg announced it in a blog post. it comes after twitter drastically reduced its workforce by half. how can these troubles in the tech arena signal other concerns? it's facebook. it's twitter. but we also have amazon, lyft, apple, i should say parts of this going back to, i was a young reporter in san francisco during the dot com boom then the bust then we remember the ripple effect. is there more to come in the tech sector? >> i think it's going to have that same kind of effect for the main reason that the tech sector was lifting up the s&p 500, lifting up the markets. so when you start to see these mass layoffs and cost cutting measures, it should be sending a big signal about where we are in the economy and meta is the

latest in a string. we don't know where the economy's going. if we hit a recession, it could get worse. >> when we look at twitter, i would say it's every day something now, but feels like every day there's something new but this new report that elon musk sent out the first e-mail he has sent to his employees saying there's no sugar coating this, the economic outlook isn't good. they should prepare for difficult times ahead. says he's ending remote work. prioritizing bot suspension. what struck me about this is this is the first e-mail he sent to his employees. his messaging has been terrible. i think if we're being kind. the way that you garner, right, there are concerns about morale. the way you garner trust of your employees in a difficult time, just talk to them. >> absolutely. and he's been talking to everyone else. to advertisers in the advertising community. different stakeholders. publicly on twitter. so it's not like the employees don't see he's out there talking

to other constituents. he's not talking to them. the e-mail you mentioned was interesting. he says we need to go all in on subscriptions because advertising revenue is not going to be enough to get us over this potential recession hump but then he's saying we still need advertising. the question becomes is elon musk going to get in his own way? you might try to inundate as much product as you want but if you're tweeting misinformation about paul pelosi's attack. >> this new blue check verification isn't going well as you can see just by looking a t the platform. there are plenty of theories out there. number one being he has no idea what he's doing and doesn't understand how the company runs. number two, maybe he wants to run it back into the ground. is it also just sadly that we're watching the demise of the company?

>> no, i don't think it's the demise of the ecocompany. he wants to break things like an entrepreneur. he wants to layoff people, bring his own people in and experiment with products in his own way. that's how you innovate. to give him credit. the challenge is twitter is not a hardware company. it's a software company and if you're to move fast and break things, it's felt instantly and in realtime. so often time, we're seeing these weird verification updates have backlashes. people are signing up to be verified who have spoof accounts. it's happening so fast and their enforcement is not moving quick enough to catch up to it. that's his greatest flaw but i'm trying to remain hopeful and bullish for twitter because it's such an important public town square around the world. >> great to see you. control of the u.s. senate still up for grabs in a critical race in arizona. still too close to call.

in the state of arizona, cnn estimates some 600,000 votes need to be counted at the races remain too close to be call. mark kelly has the edge over his

gop challenger blake master. >> katie hobbs locked in a neck and neck battle for governor with kari lake. leading by 13,000 votes. joining me now to talk all things election and what's next, cnn national political reporter and analyst, co-author of politico's playbook. rachel, welcome back from maternity leave. as we look at where we're at this morning, i think it's fascinating. i'm here no new york state. when you look at the fact that four seats, rachel, were flipped in new york. "the new york times" headline, if democrats lose the house, they may have new york to blame. it's not just about redistricting. what is the takeaway from these new york house seats? >> yeah. look, democrats are furious right now at leaders in new york right now. specifically this judge who sort of overruled this map they had originally carved out in new york. originally, democrats were

looking to use the redistricting process there, thinking they could use it as a place to help them stave off a huge republican wave. the seats they carved up were struck down by a court and put in place a map that was frankly terrible for democrats and so there's a lot of sort of finger pointing out there no new york right now because had things gone differently, even republicans are saying that democrats could have likely kept the house. you see elise stephanic saying new york is the reason republicans are going to flip the house and you know, demo democrats agree and it's causing a lot of turmoil. >> that will be part of their internal soul searching as they move forward. you spent a lot of the time in arizona and in nevada speaking to voters but specifically talking to women. talking to independents. what was most important to them? >> well, far and away,

inflation. but it's interesting that the gubernatorial race we're watching so closely, the kari lake katie hobbs race is still loc looking so close. what it suggests are those pushes in the end to get democratic voters to turnout on the issue of abortion for example and on the democracy argument after you know, kari lake had made so many statements echoing president trump's lies about the 2020 election. that may may really be playing a role here in the end in helping to keep this race really close. and of course, there are all of those independents in arizona who constantly swing elections. kirsten sinema, john mccain are all great examples of folks who really went after those voters. so right now, we're just trying to see what's going to happen. i mean, obviously there are still so many ballots outstanding in maricopa county

and it's hard to know exactly what the party breakdown is on those. if you remember from 2020, things actually tightened up for biden in the end as the counting went on and so we may end up seeing a lot of ticket splitters there. it's just fascinating to watch. >> it really is. as we look at, too, where things are moving, as we wait for these final house races, i know that there is already the jockeying is already happening by kevin mccarthy. he's trying to make sure that he's ready to go. that he has the votes for speaker. i found it interesting this morning, georgia's lieutenant governor duncan said this morning on cnn this morning that the republicans have a window of opportunity here but said the first 100 days can't be about trump's agenda or his list of grievances, rachel. but that could actually impact mccarthy's run for speaker. >> yeah, look. because election night was such

a disappointment for republicans who were expecting a bigger margin, a bigger red wave, mccarthy's going to have a real hard time as speaker. i think a lot of insiders believe and i report this in playbook this morning, that he will eventually get the speaker's gavel but because of the thin margin and the fact they could only have say you know, half a dozen seats more than democrats, he's really going to be held captive to the far right wing of his party to the sort of trump ak lights who are going to try to lord their votes over his head. there's a discussion about running a candidate against him for speaker to try to get him to promise to put certain priorities on the floor and put people like these maga republicans on powerful committee posts to allow them to reinstate certain rules that basically would make sure that mccarthy listens to their every whim. so even if he has like a certain agenda he wants to start with, i

mean, he's talked about the border. getting rid of this influx of irs agents that democrats had put in place to try to crack down on tax gap. if he wants to focus on that, the problem is he's going to really be choked around by these members who because of the slim number of republicans in this majority are really going to have an outside sway over what they do. >> it will be interesting to see what that jockeying looks like if in fact republicans do take the house with a tight majority. we saw how publicly it played out between progressives and more moderate democrats. they could be watching the same thing between conservatives and more moderate republicans there. is the audit already starting from those you've spoken to in the democratic party about lessons learned here that they're taking to '24? >> absolutely. you know, you look around the country at some of these races where republicans made gains again. or took areas back in the suburbs that were so difficult

for them during the trump years. and of course, that was because of the economic climate, but also because of the arguments that republicans made on crime. a lot of people as we talked about many times, really don't feel safe right now and democrats never really had a good response to that. i think that's definitely a huge issue in what we saw in democrats losing a lot of those new york house seats. so there's going to be a conversation about how to repair their image around those issues and that's starting now. >> may, rachel, thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. overseas now. the russians in retreat from a key city, a major one in ukraine. one ukrainian official is warning russia plans to turn that city, kherson, into a quote, city of death. we're going to be live in ukraine next. tech vo: this coue counts on their suv... as they travel for their small business. so when they got a chip in their windshield...

this morning, caution from ukraine. the ukrainian military just liberated a town that lies on the main road to the russian occupied kherson. an official warns russia wants to turn kherson into a quote, city of death. >> the ukrainian president says

he is now preparing for all possibilities. >> translator: they're ready to defend this region and they're not ready to leave the city. and the fact that they are in this homes means that they are seriously preparing. but we are also seriously prepared for these developments. but we're not considering this as just one single operation. we have a strategy. and different directions. >> cnn international diplomatic editor, nic robertson, is in ukraine. a big question is this a big victory for ukraine? it was, by the way, the biggest provincial city taken by russia in the whole invasion. >> reporter: it's huge. it's significant. it's symbolic. it's a big blow to putin's prestige back home. it's a political liability for him. the russian military are trying

to spin this as a strategic withdrawal to save troops, men, and material, but we know the sort of callous and calamitous way they've treated troops so far. so that's hard to buy. russian troops retreating have said it's because they couldn't resupply, get enough ammunition. this was a capital city of a region that less than six weeks ago, he declared part of russia. illegally. what we understand from ukrainian officials today is that they expect to have to fight to take kherson, but in the space of just today, they've taken over 100 square miles, taken control of 12 villages. at the moment, they're about 12 miles away from kherson and the evidence is that the russians are withdrawing according to their military to a plan. but it's not clear what happens when the ukrainians get to kherson city itself. is it going to be booby trapped?

we know the russians have heavily looted it. taken money from banks, equipment from hospital, fire trucks from fire stations, so what they will find is unclear, but it seems they're very much on the way to getting there, jim. >> good to have you there. please do stay safe. >> thanks so much for joining us today. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jim shuuto. at this hour with kate bolduan starts right after a quick break. i did. but i haven't even thrown yet. you threw good money away when you bought those glasses. next time, go to america's best - where two pairs and a free exam start at just $79.95. it's a quality exam worth 59 bucks. can't beat that. can't beat this, either. alright, i'll give you that one. ... and, apparently, that one. two pairs and a free exam starting at just $79.95. book an exam today at americasbest.com somebody sign this kid! ♪ music: “everywhere” by fleetwood mac ♪ you ready? ♪ ♪
