it's the top of the hour on "cnn newsroom." i'm alisyn camerota. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to be with you. nancy pelosi reflects on her pioneering career on capitol hill after she says she will not run for democratic leadership next year. >> never would i have thought

that someday i would go from homemaker to house speaker. in fact, i never -- [ applause ] and with great confidence in our caucus, i will not seek re-election to democratic leadership in the next congress. for me, the hours come to your generation to lead the caucus that i so deeply respect. >> pelosi has spent two decades at the top of her party helping to pass major legislation that impacts all of us. >> it spans from obamacare to the fair pay act to the american rescue plan to the bipartisan infrastructure bill and of course, many more. she was the first woman to become speaker of the house and second in line to the president. she was first elected to lead the caucus in 2007. >> it's an historic moment for the congress. it's an historic moment for the women of america. it is a moment for which we have

waited over 200 years. >> house majority leader stanley hoyer also announcing he will not run for elected leadership position in the next congress. let's bring in cnn congressional correspondent jessica dean. who is expected to be the next democratic leader? >> reporter: all eyes are on hakeem jeffries who just told my colleague he really wants this day to be about house speaker nancy pelosi. he's not talking about what his future plans are right now. he wants the focus to be on pelosi, and victor and alisyn, i'll tell you it was clearly an historic moment. it had that feeling, tas house members watched nancy pelosi deliver this speech earlier today. all we knew she had taken two versions of that speech home with her and we know what her future plans will be. she will remain in the house, but not in leadership. that paves the way for a

brand-new next generation of talent to come up within the democratic party and lead them, and you mentioned hoyer also not running. jim clyburn will likely step aside. this is quite a sea change in terms of democratic leadership. some 20 years she's been the head of house democrats. for some of these members, that's certainly all they've ever known. even those who have been here a pretty long time, and she talked about just how much has changed while she's been in that position. listen. [ applause ] >> when i came to the congress in 1987, there were 12 democratic women. now there are over 90, and we want more. >> reporter: and you notice she's wearing her white suit. she often wears white in big moments. of course, the color of suffragettes that they wore to get the votes many years ago, and of course, again, not surprising to see her in that color today as she really ended this historic run. victor and alisyn, as you mentioned, the eyes now turn to what happens next. that's hakeem jeffries and

likely a leadership team also including katherine clark and pete aguilar, but all of them trying to keep focus on nancy pelosi and what she's accomplished. >> jessica dean on capitol hill. thank you, jessica. as gop leaders have already vowed to investigate president biden, hunter biden, the family's business dealings now that they have control of the house or they will in the next congress. >> melanie, is the word gridlock? >> reporter: i talked to multiple lawmakers about what they're expecting in the new congress, and they've used words like government shutdown, hazard pay, chaos, mayhem, hurting cats just to name a few. the reality is in a razor-thin house republican majority any few members can have power. they can derail the legislative process. they can hold things up, take bills down, not vote for them and even messaging bills in a republican-led house are going

to be challengiing let alone th basics of government like funding the government or lifting the debt ceiling. you'll see negotiations take a center stage. republicans had promised to conduct rigorous oversight into the biden administration and they're opening alsalvo into th fight. some held a joint press conference to outline what they say are the business dealings involving hunter biden. they're going to try to link it to president joe biden, but that is just one investigative target. they also want to investigate the pull out of afghanistan, the origins of covid-19, the border, the doj investigation into donald trump. just a litany of things, but one thing to look out for is not every republican in the party has a huge appetite for all of these probes. some of them, yes. not all of them. they're worried about overreach and turning off moderates and independents. they say we should use our newfound majority to get things done, to show people this can work and address the priorities we ran on. that is going to be a key

challenge for whoever is speaker of the house next year. >> thank you. joining us now is ami berra of california. good to have you. i've got a lot to get to, but let me get your thoughts from this decision from outgoing speaker nancy pelosi. >> it's a bittersweet day today. she deserves all the accolades and time with her family and so forth, but she's been a remarkable leader. that was one of the best speeches that i have ever heard, and, you know, we all have our own personal nancy pelosi stories, but i am most thankful that she is going to still stick around and we will have her knowledge. >> all right. let's look ahead now to the future of leadership in the caucus. representative hakeem jeffries expected to run. stanley hoyer says he's not going to run for minority leader. he's a member of the house progressive caucus. you are not. would you support jeffries for

minority leader? >> 100%. i think he will be a strong and unifying leader. i have said that publicly for a long time if this time came. he's the person for the job. >> let's talk about your effort to join leadership as head of the dccc. you led the front line program to get some vulnerable democrats re-elected. they're in competitive districts certainly. your win rate here, 34 wins, 4 losses, katie porter's race still not called yet. you are running for democratic congressional campaign committee to get back into the majority in 2024. why should your colleagues choose you instead of your opponent who is also running? >> that's a pretty good track record to run on, and i think katie porter will win. we're slow in california sometimes counting votes, but out of 39 of the toughest races, i've won 35 of them and that really goes to the members and the campaigns they ran, but we

were right there with them. so now's not the time to tear down the dccc and rebuild it. it's to look at what worked, build on that. we've got talented staff at the dccc. let's try to retain some of that talent, and then we did miss some things, right? nobody had lauren boebert on our radar screen. we got our butt kicked in south florida. we've got to understand that, and what we normally do in new york, we would be talking about the majority and speaker hakeem jeffries. >> republicans today telegraphed at least one of their investigations that's coming into hunter biden. you are on house foreign affairs. we know there will be an investigation into the chaotic first forum. do you think there should be more oversight and investigation into the u.s.'s decision to pull out, and how it was executed? 13 americans were killed. >> certainly we should try to

understand what happened -- what happened with the withdrawal out of afghanistan and what we can do better next time, but if it's a political circus to try to smear the president, that doesn't solve any answers. that's what we saw with benghazi, you know? we understood there were mishaps at benghazi and we took steps to protect our service officers, ambassadors, et cetera. if we want to do that, yeah. that's perfectly acceptable. if this is all political and showmanship, that's a circus. >> so you entered the congress when john boehner was still speaker and you remember the tea party then was on the right of the party pulling them in one direction in 2015 eventually because of the push and pull. he then resigned. what are you expecting from this new republican majority with such a slim majority that we're going to see over the next congress? >> so look. i respect john boehner and he was an institutionalist. he would walk around super

frustrated with the tea party back in those days, and he has called for language so i'm not going to repeat his language, but he was frustrated with them. ultimately he left. paul ryan, an institutionalist wanted to do policy. got run down. if kevin mccarthy can get 218 votes, you know, is he going to be the ring leader of that circus? i don't know, but they're not talking about lowering gas prices. they're not talking about making the price of milk more accessible and addressing inflation. they're talking about investigations. that's not what the american public wants. there's a reason why we did very well in this election cycle. we didn't quite get to the majority, but if they don't address those things and it's just a circus in town, we will do very well in 2024, and think about, you know, the lead clown in donald trump just announced that he's going to run for president. he is going to hold them hostage or at least tear them apart as a caucus and demand loyalty. >> all right.

ami bera, thank you so much. let's bring in abby philip, great to see you. about the question of whether or not congress youk, you know, i people say, oh, congress is divided. is is there going to be gridlock? that's the point. that's why republicans are proud they're going to serve as impediments. isn't that the plan? >> reporter: i think you're probably right. it is going to be gridlock. that is typically what happens in a divided congress, but i do think that there are at times -- well, first of all, there are some things that they have to do. one of them is fund the government. so there are some things that they're going to have to figure out a bipartisan way forward on, and that's going to really come to a head in the next couple of months, very soon after this midterm election cycle, and, you know, republicans in the house especially are going to face a choice. how much do they want to just

resist or do they want to come to the table in some way, extract concessions but get a deal done? i think republicans if you think back to even the trump years when, you know, republicans held the cards, but they still shut the government down over trump's demands for a border wall. americans did not look on that kindly. it was not something that served them very well, but there is a risk here in being so, you know, in being solely a roadblock and solely just the nothing, you know, nothing moves forward caucus that i think the american people want to see something done, especially now given that we're perhaps on the verge of an economic recession, and i think people are just frustrated with what's going on in washington. >> abby, i wonder, this is something i'm trying to think through, and i don't know if you have. what is next for nancy pelosi? she's not going to be the speaker, but she still will be a member of congress. does she go to join a committee?

is she -- like, how do you offer the guidance that maybe the new leadership will need, but this dominant figure for decades not overshadow or undermine? >> reporter: yeah. it is -- it is a really interesting position for her to be in, but in some ways it feels like a compromise, like, she decided looking at the picture that she faced that she wanted to hand the reins over to this new generation, but was not going to leave them hanging because there were a lot of democrats on the hill who simply felt like they still need nancy pelosi. they need her experience and her skill. they still need her gravitas and understanding of how to maneuver and legislate her ability that has been proven to bring the parts of the caucus together. the progressives and moderates, and the like, and so that's not kn going to go away, but she is taking a step back from being at

the front of ait all. do i think we'll stop hearing from nancy pelosi? probably not, and i think if she really wanted to take a step back fully and leave congress, she simply would have done that, but i think this to me felt like a compromise position and frankly there are so many democrats who two years ago and four years ago were eager to push pelosi out. those same democrats today, they want generational change, but they respect her. they've seen what she's done, and i think that they value what she brings to the table by just simply still apart of, you know, the house of representatives >> abby while we have you, i wanted to quickly ask you about congresswoman karen bass, mayor-elect of los angeles. it's so interesting to watch how she won there. homelessness was on the ballot, crime as in all big cities, and those were things that republicans really hit hard, and yet she as a democrat won in that big city. now i know that california is generally blue, but do you think

that -- what do you think that says about those big issues and that a democrat won? >> reporter: yeah. i think that that is so fascinating that this mayor's race really seemed to revolve around whether the city wanted to kind of stick with a kind of long tradition of democratic leadership and also the crime issue being used against democrat if you will establishment figures. i think you could characterize karen bass in that way. it just didn't work, and it's -- if it were an outlier, i would say it has something to do specifically with los angeles, but when you think about the landscape of the midterm election cycle, republicans all over the country were running on crime, were running on this idea of kind of lawlessness in american cities and in democratic-run, you know, places. in new york as well, and that just didn't work. there were other things, i think. apparently on voters' minds, and i think it goes to show there

are limitations to how that argument can work. there's no more well-worn tool in politics than fear mongering around crime, and it was utilized really to a great degree by republicans in this last midterm election cycle. i think it was perhaps the second most they spent on that issue more than anything else other than economy and inflation, but it didn't have the legs they thought it did. it shows there has to be more to the message than things are really terrible and you need to kick the democrats out as a result of that. >> all right. abbey phillip, thank you. well, twitter staffers have just a few hours left before the hard score deadline that elon musk gave them. some are telling cnn if they will stay or go. and mass layoffs at twitter, facebook, amazon, roku. why is the tech industry in such turmoil ahead.

and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. with no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. in fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. and dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. you get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many

areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. humana, a more human way to healthcare. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

twitter employees have 90 minutes to decide if they want to work hard core or leave the company. >> they have a 5:00 p.m. hard core dead line. if they leave, they'll be thrust into a tech industry landscape seeing more layoffs today. let's start with old iver darby. what employees telling you? >> they don't seem excited about working hard core. the people i've spoken to don't feel amped to stay there. some were fired with the initial layoff when elon executed mass cuts at the company and they're seemingly ready to just take the

three months of severns aance a find a job elsewhere if they can. one person told me they will stay because change comes from the inside, they explained, not the outside. >> there is a call for the federal trade commission to investigate twitter. what's that about? >> yeah. senator blumenthal and a number of other senators are asking the ftc to look at twitter to make sure they're not in violation of consumer protection laws which they're concerned that twitter might be right now, and they point to the twitter blue rollout where people can impersonate other individuals on the platform easily. i'll read part of what they said. they write, we urge the commission to vigorously oversee the consent decree and reach out against any breaches or business practices that are deceptive including liability where appropriate. the ftc says last week i believe they were concerned with some of the changes twitter has made.

we'll see what happens here. >> matt, what's happening in the rest of the tech strir? >> we've seen this wave of pink slips. roku announcing 200 job cuts. they specifically said current economic conditions, that's on top of lyft cutting 13% of its work force. facebook owners, and amazon cutting 10,000 jobs. so far in november alone, tech companies have announced more than 31,000 job cuts. for context, that is more than double the total announced all year prior to november. it is alarming. it's creating a lot of anxiety, but it may not be a reason really to get overly concerned about the broader economy. goldman sachs put out a report saying this may not be impending recession. tech is not a major employer. they say in the inconceivable event that all the tech jobs went away, the unemployment rate would only go up by .3 percentage points. tech job openings are still

above precovid levels. that suggests these twitter and facebook people might be able to find jobs elsewhere, and there haven't been signs of broader turmoil in the market and when you zoom out at the broader economy, the jobs market looks strong here. new numbers out today show that jobless claims unexpectedly fell to 222,000 in the latest week. context, that is historically low. it's basically right where claims were averaging before covid turned the world upside in 2019. so despite the turmoil in the tech world, the overall job market is solid. >> the ceo of airbnb was on this morning and compared it to when the club lights are turned on. you enjoy your dancing and you have to face reality. >> and it's not pretty when that happens. >> it's not. ugly lights. oliver and matt, thank you. >> thanks. this just in. the lawyers for brittney griner say she is now as a penal colony in russia. details on that and how she is doing, next. y.”

less than 5% of americans live in an area considered to

have a high community spread of covid right now. that's down from more than a quarter of the population in february. still, forecasts predict that new covid cases will likely increase over the coming weeks while other viruses like rsv and the flu also continue to spread. let's bring in white house covid-19 response coordinator, dr. ashish jha. dr. jha, great to see you. let's talk about covid and what you expect to happen this winter. obviously we're all getting ready to celebrate thanksgiving with our family and then hanukkah, and then christmas, and so if you look back at what happened last year, exactly a year ago, things were down. covid cases were down, and then you see a huge spike if we put up this graphic in december and january, and then it levels off again, you know, in march and april. are you expecting to see that again this year? >> yes, alisyn, thanks for having me back. what i would say is we know that the virus circulates more efficiently when the weather is colder. people are spending more time

indoors and as you said, each of the last two winters we have seen an increase in covid cases and i think it stands to reason that we're going to see that again. i'm hoping we're not going to see anything like the spike we saw in january, but we may very well still see a lot more infections in the weeks and months ahead. the good news though is that we can gather safely. we can do all these things if people go ahead and get that updated vaccine that's available, get treated if you have a breakthrough infection. we're just in a very different place. people can do those things, but you got to be careful and you got to be able to make sure your vaccines and immunity is up to date for the holiday season ahead. >> tdefinitely, but there are other complicating factors. this winter there's rsv which i don't think we had as bad last winter and the flu. so, you know, not everybody's gotten their -- been inoculated for all of that. how do you think coupled with rsv and the flu it looks this winter? >> yeah. so here's what i know. we've got two terrific vaccines,

a flu vaccine and a covid vaccine. that's going to keep people out of the hospital. so if people get up to date on those two vaccines, it's going to make an enormous difference. that said, rsv is still out there, primarily impacting the youngest kids and the elderly. what we know is rsv spreads a lot through surfaces so washing hands, keeping surfaces clean can make a difference. i really do think we're at a point, alisyn, where if people sort of take basic precautions, get up to date, we can make sure our health care system doesn't get overwhelmed. >> how much space should you put between your covid booster and the flu shot? >> i got them at the same time. i think there's no reason to delay them. i think it's totally safe. that's what i have been encouraging. i tell people, you know, that's why i think god gave us two arms. one for covid shot and one for your flu shot. >> that's good, dr. jha because my left arm was immobile after i got my latest covid booster. it was unusable. i'm glad i didn't get it exactly the same day. >> well, look.

i got them both on the same day. my right arm was sore for about 24 hours, but then it got better and i was done. it was a one shot. you're one and done. if you want to space it out, that's fine, but from a health and safety point of view, both at the same time is totally reasonable. >> okay. let's move on to the shortages of important medications. so there's an adderall shortage right now and amox sillen shortage. do you expect the shortages to last another one to two months? >> first of all, this is an area that fda is tracking very closely and they're working with the manufacturers. everything we're hearing is that there are other manufacturers that also make adderall. we're going to see this result hopefully in the next month or two. i think there is a good reason to be optimistic this is going to get addressed quickly. >> in terms of how many people rely on adderall. obviously kids in school rely on it in function and even adults

in workplaces rely on it to function. what are they supposed to do for the next month or so? >> as a person who practiced medicine for 20 years. we've seen this on and off where important medicines, especially if they don't have a lot of manufacturers will have these troubles. the fda works closely with them. if you are somebody reliant on adderall, speaking to your doctor, there are other formulations. there are other medicines. there are other ways of dealing with whatever the underlying health issue is that adderall is addressing. none of these things are perfect. none of them are perfect. we need to continue to work to get these things online and get them out to americans as quickly as possible and we're doing it safely. i'm sorry. to make sure we're doing it safely. >> sure. what's the danger of amox sillen? >> critical antibiotic. the issue here in my mind is we have seen this with other anti-biotics.

there's another alternative anti-bit antibiotic that people can take. working on top of this is working with the manufacturers, making sure that these medicines come back online. one of the key things that i would say to my family and friends is that doing everything you can to stay healthy. being up to date on your vaccines, taking good care of yourself, reducing the need for medicines and avoiding infections, that's going to be a really important part of getting through this time period while these medicines get back onto the marketplace. >> dr. ashish jha. great to see you. thanks so much for your time. >> thank you, alisyn. u.s. basketball star brittney griner has now been moved to a penal colony in russia. griner's lawyer tells cnn that griner's doing as well as can be expected and trying to stay strong. now the wnba star has been in russian custody since mid-february. >> cnn's kylie atwood joins us. what have you learned? >> reporter: what we're learning from her lawyers is they

actually visited her at this penal colony which is as you said, hundreds of miles away from moscow earlier this week, and they said she's doing as well as can be expected, adapting, trying to stay strong in her new environment, and we really don't know much about the specifics of what her new environment is, but penal colonies in russia are known for very harshly treating the prisoners there. they can face torture, according to the state department report on human rights. they can face torture sometimes that leads to death. they can face hard work in those camps, and there are instances where the authorities are getting certain prisoners to go after and to bully other prisoners. it is not a great environment, so we don't know the specifics here, but what we do know is that the stories, the reports from people who have been in russian penal colonies are not great, and of course, that is of high concern to brittney griner and all of those who are close with her here in the united states. now the state department was not informed by russia officially

that she has actually moved to this penal colony. the state department spokesperson said that is something they strongly protest, and this also comes as just last week, president biden said that he was hopeful that after the midterm elections maybe russia would be more willing to have serious dialogue with the united states over a prisoner swap to get out brittney griner and paul w whelan who is another american wrongfully detained in the country. so far we haven't heard any positive progress on that front. guys? >> kylie atwood, thank you for the update. parts of new york state are you under a state of emergency and the national guard is being deployed ahead of a winter storm that's expected to bring heavy snow. we're live in buffalo with the latest, next. oh ms. flores, what would we do without you? leader of many, and pet wrangler too.

this just into cnn. the acting police chief on the day of the uvalde school massacre has stepped down. his resignation came ahead of a rare saturday special meeting that was called by the city to decide his fate. his resignation is effective immediately. there are snowstorms and then there are snowstorms. did you get the distinction there? >> what's the difference? >> well, 6 million people continue to listen and i'll explain. living in the great lakes region could see nearly 4 feet of snow by sunday morning. >> i'm sure that cnn's paula

sandoval knows the difference between a snowstorm and a snowstorm. can you explain the conditions you're about to face, paolo? >> reporter: and they will probably get that pretty quickly too. snow in buffalo, that would hard by be a headline, but when you hear from kathy hochul, a native of buffalo describing what is expecting to take place here, not only extreme, but, quote, potentially life-threatening, then that certainly is going to lead soto some public safety concerns. that's why the snowfall accumulation is expected to be from 4 inches an hour. you are going to continue to see this lake-effect snow for possibly 48 hours, and the result could be about one of the snowiest three-day periods buffalo has seen. the record in december of 2001 with 4 1/2 feet. that is why officials here on the ground saying the sun we're seeing right now, this can be deceiving that later tonight is when we'll begin to see that lake-effect snow, and that's what officials on the group

including the mayor byron brown say they should sign up for notifications so they can stay up to speed as mother nature threatens the next 48 hours, and also to take steps to prepare. >> i want to be very clear. this is not your normal snowfall in the city of buffalo or in the region. this is a snowstorm with potentially deadly consequences if people do not do the right thing. >> reporter: those lake-effect snow warnings, those are in place starting tonight, victor and alisyn. they will likely stay in place potentially up until sunday. so the main recommendation for people in and around western new york stay off the roads if you can and prepare right now. guys? >> i feel like you're going to need a bigger jacket, paolo sandoval. >> it's not so bad yet. >> be careful.

thank you very much for the update. let's get more on the forecast from jennifer gray. the national weather service also warning of thundersnow. tell us about that. >> yes. so we are going to potentially see thundersnow. sometimes when the snowfall rates get so high, you'll hear thunder. there will be lightning just like we get in a very strong thunderstorm when the rains are very, very heavy, but basically the winds are going to steer where this snow is going to go because lake-effect snow is caused by the warmer, wider temperature, and the difference between the colder air above it. when those cold winds flow over the lake, it generates the clouds and the snow falls on the clouds, and it's coming from that direction. the snow will continue to fall and wind will steer it into buffalo by the time we get into student and that's when it's really going to intensify. we're going to look at anywhere from say like polo was saying, we could see 2 to 4 feet in buffalo and the latest national weather service discussion came out saying we could see up to

5 feet. so this could definitely be history. we've already seen more than nearly a foot of snowfall in some places, and so guys, this is going to be a big deal. this is going to run through sunday. >> wow. okay. thank you, jennifer gray. now i understand the difference. now i get it. >> thank you very much. former president donald trump has been a 2024 candidate for less than 48 hours, but his announcement is already affecting the georgia senate runoff. details next. ke the right moves fast... get decision tech from fidelity.

donald trump's 2024 presidential run is already

affecting the georgia senate runoff. incumbent senator rafphael warnock has issued a new ad. >> how are they using trump announcement? >> well, victor, with less than three weeks to go, the warnock campaign has released a new appeal for campaign cash and trying to use donald trump's presidential announcement speech on tuesday night to really energize the democratic voters and the small donors. take a listen to what the ad says. >> herschel walker, and get out to vote for herschel, because he deserves it. he is an incredible athlete, and he is going to be an incredible senator. get out the vote for herschel walker. >> this is exactly what the trump allies said who spoke to

us leading up to the announcement would fear, because they felt that announcing a presidential campaign would backfire and energize the democratic voter and work to the fund-raising advantage for democratic candidate raphael warnock, and this is the strategy that they are deploying featuring trump front and center in the campaign advertisement, and the former president does praise the republican candidate in the ad, but at the end of the day, it is meant to jive democratic fund-raising and to bring home the warnock campaign. >> i am not sure it is as damning as it is going to be. i thought that it was going to be something more colorful. >> if you elect herschel walker, we will do this. >> yes. so, gabby, let us know if it helps with fund-raising. thank you very much. in the end of the era, house
