with us on cnn, i'm john vause, it's 1 am here in atlanta, georgia, 11 pm in phoenix arizona, 10 pm in reno, nevada. -- and with georgia now heading toward december runoff, the focus is on two very close races in arizona and nevada, two states where incumbent democrats are trying to hold on to their seats in the u.s. senate, let's take a look at the latest updates, with how the votes are yet to be counted in arizona, democratic incumbent mark kelly, expanding his lead over blake masters. most of the votes have been counted for maricopa county, arizona's biggest county, with half the states total, population that includes the city of phoenix. kelly's campaign managers told cnn, they are confident expect to win. nevada, new numbers shows that katherine cortez masto is closing the gap on adam laxalt, there's still tens of thousands of ballots yet to be counted from clark county, the biggest county in the state, which includes las vegas, and the

states only county that leans democrat. cnn's gary tuchman has the very latest in from las vegas, nevada, first of cnn -- 's from phoenix arizona. here in maricopa county, the tedious work of democracy, continues counting the vote, hanging in the balance is the control of the u.s. senate. some 78,000 vote results for releases, were released this evening by maricopa county, didn't really change the races all that much percentage wise, but the democrats who are currently on a razor lead, a razor thin lead, they got just a bit more vote pad. now this is a slow, process, and it is a careful process. what we are hearing, though, on the edges, or some of the republicans on this ballot, who are frustrated have been talking about some of these election officials, might be doing this on purpose, releasing the slowly, on purpose. and we've got strong pushback

by election officials here. >> quite frankly, it is offensive for carrie like to say that these people behind me, are slow rolling this, when they're working 18 to 15 hours. i really hope this is the end of that, now we can be patient, and respect the results when they come out. >> the count continues, the election is not over in maricopa county election officials are looking start to zoom in on some of those election day ballots. kyung lah, cnn, phoenix arizona. >> here in the largest county in the state of nevada, the clock county election, center we can tell you that the tabulators, are done tabulating for the evening. they will resume on friday. >> in the 17 counties, the state of nevada, the democratic candidate for senate, who's an incumbent, and the democratic candidate for governor, who's an incumbent, are making up ground with the counting of mail-in ballots. tens of thousands of ballots,

still need to be counted in the state of nevada. right now catherine cortez masto, the democratic senator, has made up about 7000 votes today, it is now behind the republican challenger by 8000 votes. , meanwhile governor steve says whack is made up around 7000 votes. >> here in clark county alone, the largest county in the state there are at least 50,000 ballots still to count, these are not ballots that were done in person on election day, these are ballots that are mailed, in a region of didn't drop boxes on election day. now the ballots can come until saturday, so either way they would've been counted, they're not counted because there was, cause the kind of because that's the law, as long as they were counted by, tuesday they can arrive by saturday midtown counted. this will continue till, saturday the counting will continue to, saturday and we still don't know who the winners of these very highest profile races will be, this is gary tuchman, cnn, in las vegas. >> even with some key races yet

to be, decided the biden white house is breathing, easy after every expected republican blow it never happened. you spread sent -- first crucial tested, democracy since the january 6th insurrection. speaking to democratic campaign workers thursday, biden also warned of the ongoing threat posed by republican election deniers. >> thank you for fighting like the devil, to make sure that we had a free and fair election. and you know all those election, deniers so, far the best of my knowledge, none of them has said when they lost, they said we lost, that's a big deal, i really mean it tuesday was a good day for america a good day for democracy and was a strong night for democrats. >> standing by for us this hour in new york, is ron brownstein, cnn senior political analyst, and senior editor for the atlantic, thanks for being with us, ron i know you have a long couple of days. >> yeah, what a week.

>> what a week. and it's not over yet. , republican voters outnumber democrat voters by a significant number. now, at the same time, as cnn exit poll found that in the house, 49% of independent voters, when for an independent candidate, well 37% win for republican. -- democrats won independent voters, who may be the first time that the party who controls the presidency has won in the midterms as 2002. they got a lot of self-identified voters to vote for, them that's, democrats and they do this especially well in close races, that's how democrats manage to defy the odds. why did independents go for democrats over republicans? >> well, i describe this in october, as a double negative election. as we saw any exit, pull a majority of voters disapprove of the way that joe biden's handling the presidency. we have an incredible, number 75 or 80%, saying the economy

is only fair, for large numbers in the exit, poll say that inflation has been moderate or severe, hardship on, them and historically those are the kinds of numbers that produce a road for the party holding the white house, particularly among those independent voters. but, there is a second negative, to the judgment, that bounded and limited the impact of the first, which is that many of those same, voters had deep concerns about the republican party, and the trump era. and what democrats were able to do, is focus just enough voters, -- but on the question of what republicans would do with power, and i think the reluctance to give republicans unified control, symbolized and crystallized by the issue of abortion, and also about democracy, is what allowed democrats to really avoid the worst, in this midterm, especially given those underlying economic attitudes, and i to biden.

>> -- as you mentioned, nonpartisan states united action, reported a bad eye for candidates refusing to recognize the electoral vote. >> election denialism has failed to gain new, ground in most of the state wide races that are getting called. it seems the status quo, then, will remain, that's not a loss for the american democracy, but is it a win? >> i would say no, the threat is still there, because what we have seen happen since 2020, is the kind of germ of election denial has spread through the republican party. the idea that it will now go away if and when trump, overdoses very naive. if in arizona, the final outcome is kari lake losing by a few thousand votes, either way if she loses by 2000 votes does anybody think she just walks away. >> a lot of speculation over

donald trump's hold on the -- last time that perhaps the republican establishment is turning on trump. this is a republican party that stood by him despite this january six, uprising his attempt to overturn the election, despite the discovery of hundreds of classified documents but if trump becomes an election liability, is that what finally does it. >> his electoral superpower is turning out white voters, and there's no question that he brought in a lot of non non-college, non-urban voters would not traditionally been regular participants, and republicans that are always one of the best of both worlds, they wanted to benefit from that without necessarily alienating the suburban voters who continue by the way, in tuesday's results to recoil from trump so now i think you will see more of a desire for an alternative path is not simple john and something that

viewers around the world need to understand, is that the rules by which republicans pick a presidential nominee, are very different from how the democrats pick a nominee. the republicans win advantage whoever has a single largest block of support. as many more winner take all features, so even if there's a 55 or 58% majority of republican voters, who don't want trump again, if you can hold 40 to 40, to 44, that's gonna make it very hard for anyone else to get past him. i will just parenthetically, note that in 2016, he had become the presumptive nominee, pulling away from the field, before he reached 50% of the vote in any state. that's something that could happen again, unless the party consolidates more quickly and it did in 16, behind a single alternative to trump. >> ron, it's coming up soon, thanks for being with us. you're watching cnn, and

there's a lot more to come, including a lot of support and climate change summit in egypt. the first stop on the u.s. presidents three nation tour, also ahead, the ukrainian flag flying high, over once liberated territory. but braided by any ukrainian offensive, which is inching closer to kherson. we left aluminum out and put 48 hours freshness and 1 quarter r moisturizers... in. dove 0% alumuminum deodorant. lasting odor protection ththat's kind on skin. ever wonder why they call it the american dream... and not the american goal? announcer: derek jeter ...or plan? maybe... it's because in dreams, you can do anything. in dreams... you can ld your entire world in the pm of your hand. and turn time inside out... again and again. and you can do it all with your eyes wide open.

and biden turned up empty-handed, received a lot of criticism for, that not this time. >> yeah, he walked into that summit in scotland, just as his proposed climate problem is totally falling apart. republicans opposed, it there were key democrats that work holdouts. and it is interesting how different a year has made, eventually the bill passed, it was sort of a slow for the, president but it did include 370 billion dollars, to combat climate change. that was the largest investment in american history, and the president certainly does feel like he's entering this conference, now a year later, having put his money where his mouth is, when it comes to goading other nations, into making their own significantly ambitious climate pledges. why don't officials say that he does plan to try to leverage those commitments, when he speaks later today in sharm el-sheikh, to try to tell leaders that now is a time for their own countries to step up, for their own countries to make

a very significant investment to try to curb global warming. the president feels like he has pointed his back, when it comes to the summit and the rest of this trip, in part because the midterm elections which seem as if they were a referendum on his choices over the last year and so the president does feel pretty good, white house officials say he'll say's remarks was that other leaders need to keep their eye on the ball, when it comes to curbing greenhouse gases, and stay focused on the specific, issue when issue that whole confront, here is that a lot of leaders are focused on a different issue which is the issue of climate reparations, basically some poor countries have been adversely affected by climate change, are asking for wealthier nations, where the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, to pay up, to essentially pay them to help build resilience for issues like floods, fires, other extreme events that are directly related to climate

change. but the presidents dilemma is that there really is no support for that politically. particularly of republicans take control of the congress, and that is sort of the issue, the dynamic that the president has, as he embarks on those around the world seven-day trip, certainly the president will tell you as leaders as he does ever around the world that america is back, that is renewing its commitments to allies to things like democracy and climate change, and certainly the biggest threat to that is president trump, and he does pollute appear politically weekend, but at the same time if republicans take control of one or more chambers of the congress, the presidents agenda will be severely curbed, those are the two things that the president is bouncing, as he arrives here in a few hours in sharm el-sheikh. >> kevin, we appreciate the update. >> the cop27 summit is part of a weeklong trip to take president biden to several major summits, from egypt he's heads to cambodia, for the ag

on set someone on saturday and sunday, then sunday, bali indonesia, the g20. and he said to meet with chinese leader xi jinping on the sidelines. the first time the two have met in person since biden was elected for president. ukraine troops continue to close in iraq by the city of kherson, slowly and with caution along the way. liberating more than 40 settlements in the south since wednesday, when russia announced troops will continue to withdraw from kherson. these images appear to show destroyed military hardware left behind by the russians. ukrainian military leaders say that there are signs that russia started to cool down, but officials remain, doubtful and that kherson will turn into a city of, death by would be up in whatever they, can and shelling ukrainians as they move. in the white house is taking a wait and see approach. >> first, this is a significant military milestone for the ukrainians, if in fact it

happens that russia follows through and withdraws to the far side of the dnipro river. of course, we're gonna watch actions not just announcements to see what actually unfolds. >> the russian retreat from kherson is a major blow to the kremlin, and vladimir putin, her son was the first major city that russia captured and held, since the invasion began in february. and the ukrainians say they doubt the russian soldiers are about to give out the sitting go quietly into the night. here's more now from cnn's nick robertson. >> a trap is what ukrainian officials say they are concerned about as they advance towards kherson they say they are going to complete this operation with military secrecy to protect their forces but even so through thursday they were making gains on the ground. today, the city is liberated, the soldier announced. this has handful of troops

claiming a small victory, on the road to kherson, well received by an apparently appreciative crowd. elsewhere, on ukraine's cautious advance, to liberate the port city, another tiny band of soldiers, celebrate an objective secured. >> since russia has announced, retreat villages are being taken quickly. in carolina, russians flood so fast they left their flag, rapidly removed by the ukrainians. meanwhile, russian troops retreating under orders, east across the strategic dnipro river, characterized their ignominious exit, as smart. noting, the damage to the bridge, that supplied them. >> russia's defense chiefs are also suspending the withdrawal as a smart, move to save soldiers lives, that is in stark contrast to their callous and calamitous lost two

soldiers so far. >> what was once the jewel in putin's congress this year, and illegally declared part of russia, less than six weeks ago, is becoming the most embarrassing setback for putin so far. failure to spin retreat as smart strategy, will undermine his leadership. >> ukrainian officials continue to be skeptical, of putin's motives. questions whether retreat is also a trap. >> they're simply searching for a way out of a difficult situation. the fact that they so deliberately announced they're moving to the left bank, does not surprise anyone. but we understand that we will still have to fight. >> on the battlefield, ukrainian soldiers appear to be gaining momentum.

nevertheless, officials want to could be days. >> before her santo safely under their control again. >> how safe it will actually be, is unclear. russian commander say they're pulling their troops back, to form defensive positions on the other side of the dnipro river, on the east bank, both ukrainians and russians, however, after these battles are fought for her son, will be able to re-deploy forces, to other parts of the country, and that is a significant gain, for both voices. nic robertson, cnn, kryvyi rih, ukraine. >> ukraine will soon receive new air defenses, to combat drone attacks, part of a new foreigner million u.s. aid package. also hawk missiles and other ammunition. in total, the u.s. has provided

18 point $6 million in security assistance to ukraine since the world began. this officials have been urging president zelenskyy in recent weeks to say is a least open to talks with russia. cnn's christiane amanpour sonoma zelenskyy, -- a past the president as to whether he's been pressured to negotiate. >> mister president, you've obviously heard there are all these articles been written, there's these foreign policy analysts are saying, is it enough already for you, should you go to the negotiating table? some of these countries, with economic pressures on their own, we're supporting you now, are you feeling any pressure to go to the negotiating table? >> look, they don't want this war to be finished. now without having any fatigue, everyone has to understand that it's only the kremlin, and only one person, the head of the

russian federation, who is not tired of the war. for our part, we say, please respect our principles, or the un charter. please respect our territorial integrity, please respect our, people are, rights our freedom, our lands, and our choice. that's it. >> so this word fatigue, is a big word. you can't get fatigue, so it's too early for all of us to get fatigued. but when russia truly wants peace, we will definitely feel it and see that. but you know, you can't wish for peace with words alone. where it's not enough. stop the war, withdraw from the territory, stop killing people, start reimbursing the damages inflicted on our country. criminals, must be prosecuted, so words are not enough. >> do you think the women are getting enough support? tell me what this says what your country, that there's a huge level of women, comparative to other nato countries, in the military --

>> i think that the number of women who volunteered to join our, enforces there's almost 40, 000, that speaks for itself. these are the women who chose the path at the military in wartime, not in peacetime, when it would've been more of a military, romantic idea. >> there is a shortage of purely female things, and uniforms, there's only male underwear in the army's. women in the armed forces, are still unique. but it's not unique in ukraine anymore. >> and this whole war, it continues our path towards gender equality. and we've already made great strides in this. so this war, is as equal as ukrainian society. i'm certain that after this war women's rights will be even stronger already made strides, and where you have women generals.

>> bravery has no gender. >> later this, our chris will report in the women phenylephrine lines of ukraine, fighting to receive the equipment designed specifically for, women not, men to breakthrough inequality born in a moment of crisis. well, still to, come to a central bank's been attacking inflation for months, now but's government figures seem to -- are doing the job, those details in just a moment, control the u.s. congress in limbo. dozens of races to close to call, we'll take a closer look at on how republican election deniers have fared.

it is just 31 minutes past the

hour, welcome back everyone here in the nine states in around the world, i'm john vause. three days after the midterm election, hundreds of thousands of ballots are still being counted in western states, arizona and nevada outcomes along with the runoff in georgia will decide we -- right now cnn protects republicans will have 49 senate seats, to democrats 48, that means democrats would have to take two of the outstanding senate races to be in majority. republicans are just seven seats shy of claiming control the u.s. house, with more than 30 races still undecided, it's still possible to hit that 218 threshold, -- the first national issuances of january 6th insurrection of the capital, republicans did not see the dramatic wednesday expected, and the results were mixed bag for gop election deniers, several can still win their races, but others just unfair so well, cnn's brian todd breaks down the numbers.

>> a big theme in these midterms, the prominence of election deniers, we're focusing on those prominent deniers, starting in the -- four, senator, secretary of state, one of the most well-known and aggressive deniers, these arizona republicans kari lake, still in tightly contested race for governor, she has falsely declared president biden's win there in 2020 was stolen, and demanded this year that biden's 2020 win in arizona, be decertified, which is an impossibility. another two, denier republican blake masters still in that close race in arizona, for senator. in nevada, a tight race could put out a whack salon, office as a u.s. senator. walk sold made several false claims about the 2020 election, snow is rigged, and he's made baseless claims about the integrity of the vote count, in that state. but there are also very important races for secretary of state, in arizona and nevada, they have not been called yet. these are critical because the secretary of state basically

once the election laws in those states. and those two states aggressive election deniers are still in the running, in nevada, jim marchand will be on the cusp of victory. he has insisted that it was, quote, almost artistically impossible that joe biden won nevada in 2020, which is flat out wrong. and his claim that election winners into potential thousand and six, have been quote, installed by the deep state cabal, in arizona mark fischer filled in -- win overseeing the 2020 election. these are men who could be running elections, so define election results, in those crucial states. let's look at the prominent candidates among election deniers, who have already won or lost. one of the big winners among, deniers j.d. vance, he's gonna be the next republican senator from ohio. here >> we from donald trump, and claim that people were voting illegally, on a large-scale basis, both completely false claims. among the prominent losers, don

bolduc, the senate candidate from new hampshire and doug mastriano, gubernatorial candidate from pennsylvania. his campaign startled busses to -- on january 6th, and he was photographed on capitol grounds that day, though he was never charged with anything. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> voters consistently name the economy is our number one concern in the midterm elections, and thursday there is some encouraging news on inflation. the latest numbers through october shows inflation is used, to 7.7% over the last, year much better than the 8% many analysts had expected. we mark it responded, the dow gained 1200 points. but experts warn, not enough, and the federal reserve is widely expected to continue raising interest rates, maybe not as aggressively as before. to los angeles, now my, color senior fellow at the rutgers school of management, at rutgers university, it's good to see you. >> nice to see you, john. >> so the natives numbers are, out and the sun is shining, the purchasing, and the analyst as

-- a soft landing for the economy is looking increasingly plausible. plausible is an interesting choice of words, because it means you can reasonably make the case for something to happen, while possible means it's actually capable of coming true. we do stand with krugman, or wall street investors who see the days of sky-high flashing coming to the end. >> john, do you hear that? that is a sigh of relief. but we're not over yet. it's nice to see that we are seeing some traction. i still don't know for the peak, yet we've seen this before, four months ago we are at the peak, but i think it's showing that what the fed is doing is working, that's the cy, but we're not out of the woods yet. was trying to get to 2% inflation, and you just mentioned we are just at eight coming, down it's gonna take a little while, especially when you think about wage growth at the same time. so i'm not sitting here -- yes, i'm glad that the market

feels like this on a good day. it's great for the high volume that we're seeing. >> thanks always good to check in with the -- we inflation buggytown a 0.2%, to 7.2%. we because prices are still high. prices haven't come down pricing creases have slowed, what is the average family here out to celebrate. >> i think we are gonna, see these prices, it's great that we see this, news but it's not going to help change the cause in childcare and health care, or even food or restaurants, i think when you also see the wage prices are also rising, companies are gonna do well. they will pass that cost of the consumer, so we're still gonna see some price increases, you're gonna pay, just the inflation is going down, it's

not coming down quickly enough, i think that's where we're gonna see -- so for those who are taking this news the market is happy thinking that the fed is going to not increase anything that's a false premise, because you're still gonna see them be impressive in the next couple of meetings. >> do we know what the federal reserve in particular, the torture-in-chief jerome powell, who keeps turning the screws, one of actually looking for here in terms of falling inflation? one month, two months, three months? what does number? put a number on it. >> i would say two months, because it really needs to kind of settle back down. so the next month, the cpi index inflation will be telling, to see if there's actually a pricing dropping, not just inflation, but also pricing. the every day item, that's important to this, as well as jobs. don't forget, unemployment numbers are still being looked at. we're seeing the job growth as well.

ideally to, but conservatively i have a feeling the fed is not going to lead off the gas, until they seem a couple of months, and then feel really comfortable. -- it would be that meeting, or the next one after that. >> and this gets into the timing of everything, because mr. krugman pointed, out it's plausible this point but you could have that sort of, soft landing that seemed so so on attainable off in the distance, but they do go too far here and they took the economy into recession. >> yeah, this off, landing i hate to disagree but soft landing means there's a clear path beyond it, but there's too many variables and we are points all over the place. the soft landing, yes is possible, but is it highly likely? i mean probably, not even the federal chairman says that's probably not gonna be the summer of that aspect. so i think what we're gonna, see and more importantly that

the economy continues to be -- it's gonna cause some issues with the federal reserve, and how they approach us. like i, said were not of the was, yet we see the international, conflicts we see the inflation, prices are gonna have an impact. we've seen prices out job cuts, issues going into this week. we're also gonna see sales reports, or not to pay attention to see a variance at the same numbers of consumer spending, they're gonna go into the first couple of quarters of next, year and see where we are, the state of the economy, in effect it's gonna be pain attention to see if it got better, where did it take a step back? >> i need a spreadsheet for all this. following it all is hard. that's what we have you. thank you ryan patel. >> thanks john. >> let's take a, break when we come back, hurricane nicole takes a toll across parts of florida, leaving thousands without electricity. in over, yet latest forecasts in a moment. with nelson, a volunteer who puts care into everything he d does. it's a deodorant that really protects my skinin. it's comfortable and lasts s a long time.

>> at least two people have died in what was hurricane

nicole. -- thursday along florida's east coast. dozens of homes and hotels have been deemed unsafe in the wake of the storm. -- in st. augustine, florida shows states flooded last hurricane hit. cnn says that people have been trapped inside the dormitory. there is treasure, but expected to produce significant rainfall as it heads north. at least 1 million people across the u.s. are under winter warnings. and they might receive a foot of snow. let's go to meteorologist derek van damme for more on this. >> it's crazy to think that we are talking about that. right? i believe i learn something from you the last hour or something like the last time we had. in the morning. a tropical storm warning was back in 2012 so pretty interesting to see that we are talking about both the -- tropical system in the winter season at the same time. this is what's left of the storm across the northern
