priority individuals sometime in mid - late december and as we get into january, we will get more vaccine doses available. arthel: fox team coverage aishah hasnie how the east coast is handling the surge when we begin with the national overview and charles watson live in atlanta. reporter: public health experts are sounding the alarm about what they see as a crisis that is growing out of control. just yesterday the u.s. registered the second highest number of new infections and hospitalizations hit a record high with more than 69000 covid patients for weeks, doctors particularly midwest hotspots that pleaded for state and local leaders to implement new protocols to try to slow the spread of the virus. those pleads were beginning to become reality in states like oregon and new mexico with near full lockdown measures go in effect monday for at least two weeks. the governor of north dakota the

state with the highest cases and deaths per capita is now mandating people wear masks after previous request, admiral brett gerard telling abc news that public health efforts to mitigate the virus are crucial. >> we have to have the american people wear a mask when you can't physically distance, were gonna have to limit the indoor spread by limiting bars and restaurants which are places where you're indoors, you're not masked and we know that there can be significant transmission. we don't have to close schools, we don't have to close major industries. reporter: public health officials are doing everything that they can to warn people that this pandemic will not and without the cooperation of the american public. back to you. arthel: charles watson from atlanta. thank you. eric: new york city keeping its cities open for tomorrow morning at least for now.

after new york mayor bill de blasio warned he would close down the school system, the largest in the nation at the coronavirus positivity rate in new york city spikes over 3%, right now the seven day average for the big apple is over 2.5% so it is close. new york state governor andrew cuomo making public with his vaccine distribution plan. aishah hasnie live in newark with that. reporter: governor cuomo spent time this morning going after the president, the vaccine rollout plan targeting who gets the vaccine first, the governor speaking this morning at new york city historic riverside church saying that minority communities in new york were hit the hardest, now he is mobilizing his army to deploy a vaccine to all new yorkers fairly. >> the black and brown communities that were first on the list of who died cannot be

last on the list of who received the vaccine. reporter: now here is the thing, governor cuomo says you cannot view that without more federal cash to the tune of $6 billion to distribute the vaccine fairly, currently facing a 15 billion-dollar deficit. meantime good news coming from new york city parents especially in person learning will remain open on monday mayor bill de blasio tweeting the infection rate dropped over the weekend from 2.822.5%, he has been urging the mayor in the school district to factor in the school infection rates in order to keep classrooms open and this weekend saw a major restrictions go into effect in the states of the height of the pandemic, a statewide 10:00 o'clock curfew and effect for bars, restaurants and gems with her state limited

clinton was greater than joe biden's margin. arthel: that his former president obama with gayle king and cbs. as president trump says, he had no intention of conceding the election that despite appearing to admit on twitter. meanwhile his campaign advances legal challenges to vote counts in several swing states. those go to david spunt from the latest live at the white house. reporter: good afternoon, president trump at the white house after a round of golf at his club in northern virginia, as you mentioned he does not appear to be conceding anytime soon, this morning a curious tweet or the president that went out to his almost 90 million followers on the platform, he was referring to president-elect biden, he wrote, he won because

the election was rigged, no vote watchers or observers aloud, vote tabulated by the radical left privately owned company dominion. you can see the blue riding at the bottom, the claim about election fraud is disputed, that was on twitter by a warning for misinformation, that has been coming from twitter several times over the past few weeks with the president's tweets about 20 minutes after he won tweets, the president tweeted again and then he wrote he only one in the eyes of the fake news media, i concede nothing, we have a long way to go, this is a rigged election, that was flagged by twitter. still, some close allies of the president believe it is time to accept defeat. listen. >> i expect joe biden to be the next president of the united states, it was good to see president trump tweet out that he won, i think that is the start of an acknowledgment and it is very important that joe

biden have access to the intelligence briefings to make sure that he is prepared during times of transition. reporter: the president spent most most of the day of his golf club, there is a picture, he does not technically need to formally concede for president-elect biden to become the 46 president. president trump in his campaign suing in multiple courts, nothing is changing the outcome in favor of team trump, his advisors want to continue fighting. >> don't rush to judgment. it is important especially given the fact that so many tens of americans feel right now, disenfranchised. reporter: as any cooperation between team trump and team biden on a transition standpoint, there is none, the trump administration keep inviting steams from getting access from other government tools, doctor anthony fauci said a transition is crucial to distribute in the vaccine, he

went on to say the president has not attended a covid-19 pandemic briefing in months. this is a photograph of vice president pence in the situation room at a recent covid briefing, he is the head of the coronavirus task force but when it first began the president did attend more of the briefings. good news on friday president trump said a vaccine would be available to the masses, the most notable people in the next coming weeks and months, possibly at the end of this year, early next year, that is a timeline that dr. fauci agrees with. good news on the vaccine front. arthel: thank you very much david spunt. eric: president-elect joe biden continues to meet with this transmission advisors this weekend. he is considering potential candidates for cabinet positions. jacqui heinrich covers the president elect and in delaware with the latest for the sunday. reporter: expectations are rising for president-elect joe

biden to announce his secretary of state and sources are telling fox news the former president barack obama is pushing for former national security advisor susan rice. rice was vetted as member of biden's vp shortlist in institutional knowledge and clearances that could blunt the impact of it transition. a hurdle in the senate and has competition and former decca secretary of state, chri chris y and kunz actively for the job. his transition team says it's on track for 4000 appointed positions but a week after his projected when the general services administration still has not unlocked access to funds, agencies and information needed to reach full speed and having a significant impact on plans to combat coronavirus. transition team is coming up with his own distribution plan for a potential vaccine because

they locked out from discussions with federal agencies like the department of health and human services which is planning a vaccination campaign for february and march. >> the bigger issue will be the mechanics of manufacture and distribution getting the vaccine out. that relies with folks at the health and human services department, we need to be talking to them as quickly as possible. it is great to have a vaccine that vaccines do not save lives, vaccination save lives. reporter: biden's team is reaching out to distributors and manufacturers alike to ensure once the vaccine is approved, americans can get it. eric: by the way, joe biden wilmington, delaware amtrak train station? reporter: i am not, i am actually at the chase center which was the site of the dnc and where he accepted his projected win. eric: okay it looked like it was, traveled 2 million miles on

amtrak. reporter: not today. eric: thank you. arthel: we heard schumer last week say georgia would change america, we heard aoc say they have to have these two seats because they don't want to negotiate, they want total control. schumer will change the rules in the senate so they can do anything that they want with 50 votes plus the vice president so it's a tiebreaker. arthel: that is republican senator david perdue on "sunday morning features", he is one of two happening in an intense runoff and elections in georgia. that will decide which party controls the senate, his democratic component john ossoff and rafael warnock on the campaign trail today at an outdoor socially distant meet and greet in cop county. let's go to steve harrigan, he is following everything about that campaign in atlanta.

reporter: first are trying to wrap up the presidential palace in georgia, the tables behind me and fulton county have been emptying gradually as they counted more than a half million presidential ballots by hand over the last couple of days across the state they will count 5 million presidential ballots, joe biden has about 14000 vote lead, it's been a simple process, to election workers reading the ballots and then piling biden or trump and counting those piles. the senate races here, the two runoff races set for january 5 already intensifying tv ads with negative campaigning. one side the two things agree on how absolutely crucial these two senate runoff races are to the future of the u.s. >> six and half million americans have pulled themselves out of poverty that will all get

undone if we lose both of the seats in georgia. that's why we know where the last line of defense and were fighting hard to make sure it's done legally and we get this done appropriately. >> what were feeling and the first time in four years is hope and recognition with trump departing we have the opportunity to define the next chapter in american history to lead out of this crisis but only by winning the senate seats. >> we are not done with this vote yet but people began to vote early in the two senate runoff races and about four weeks time. back to you. arthel: steve harrigan in atlanta. eric: inauguration day a little more than two months away, joe biden set to be sworn in as the nation's 46 president. he made a lot of promises during the campaign but what happens when he sits behind the oval office and has to govern. especially with the potential of mitch mcconnell still sitting in his office up the street. we will take a look. right now the countdown for the next launch this evening up to

>> joe biden will become president of the united states on the midst of an ongoing crisis, the has to be a seamless transition. we have the possibility, we need to see if it gets approved of a vaccine starting perhaps in december, january, these are people making plans to implement that vaccine. our experts need to talk to those people as soon as possible so nothing drops in this change of power we will have a jittery 20th. eric: that is wrong claim, joe biden's chief of staff of the white house, the covid-19 in the strained economy, it will be priority number one in the incoming biden the administration, the look at the challenges it is facing, senator in chief, good to see you, i imagine job one as he says for the biden administration will be dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. >> job number one, the pandemic itself in the economic problems

that continues to result from that, that's the immediate job and that, i would say a job that biden thinks he's particular prepared for which is restoring a sense of normalcy and calm to the white house. eric: and klain himself has been expert in the area, the president-elect has talked about potential mask mandate for the country at least for some regions. >> he has talked about a mask mandate, i think there are some question to federal authority to do a mask mandate, i think clearly what we will see is a very consistent message like we sold during the campaign from president-elect when he was not yet president-elect, he will wear a mask, he will wear a mask at the podium and people will wear a mask in public, he will lead by example, he will talk about science, it is going to be a real return to what we didn't

think we had to comment on as normal, he will return things to normal in that way and beyond that he is probably going to be elected a position to negotiate with mitch mcconnell, the republican a leader on a stimulus bill. there is talk of doing it in the lame-duck session of congress, they have been talking about it for months, it has not gone anywhere, the likelier scenario that will be left to the new administration in the new power structure in congress. eric: what do you say, you don't think there will be a coronavirus stimulus bill during the lame-duck session? >> i guess i don't, i think steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary in pelosi have talked and talked and they've never really got off the dime, it's hard for me too understand how the political dynamic changes now, i think mitch mcconnell, unless he concludes that he needs to cut a deal before the

end of the year because he becomes convinced he will lose to the senate seats in georgia, my sense ♪ ♪ does not seem to want to rush this, there will be a new move among congressional republicans to re-clamp the fiscal conservatism and there may not be a need to reverse this. eric: here is ron klain, on the ambitious agenda, healthcare, climate change, tax cuts, here's what mr. klain had to say. >> we have a big stack of business for day one already, we are going to rejoin paris, we will protect the dreamers on day one, we will take other action on healthcare on day one, president-elect has talked about during the campaign we have a busy busy day one under any scenario here. eric: could the president-elect be blocked on both ends, he has

mitch mcconnell on one side depending on what happens in georgia and the progressive left of his democratic party planted in the left, will he be boxed in, how does he navigate both. >> there is a chance to he will be boxed in, you hear everything that klain was talking about, that he could do by executive order, this will be a repeat of every recent president on day one they have signed the collection of executive orders to do things to undo things that the predecessor did that they don't like or further new policies. barack obama did, trump, george w. bush did it, they all did it, then the hard part which is negotiating with congress, you are exactly right, not only will joe biden have mitch mcconnell who has not decided how is going to play it, he'll play it somewhat different whether he is a 52 - 48 or a 50/50 time becomes the minority leader. but as you say joe biden is

going to have a challenge at the other end with his liberal plank and is moderate plank trying to negotiate that, i think it will have to be more centrist than not. eric: he is the line of the senate, he knows the ways of the body so we will see what happens as a new office at the other end of pennsylvania avenue. editor-in-chief, always good to see you. arthel: we are a few hours away of the historic spacex mission to the international space station, phil keating, you are there waiting for it to all kickoff has the crew made it to the launchpad? >> they are in route as we speak, the excitement is building for sure. the only issue tonight possibly, no technical issues have arisen, whether which still stands at a 50/50 shot for the 7:27 p.m. launch time, the support staff

ago we saw the astronauts exited the building fully suited up where they were able to give one last goodbye wave to their loved ones, that was the last time they were going to see them until next year by the way. then they got into the car to ride out. the only concern so far that nasa and spacex have been sharing all day is the weather, will it cooperate at lunchtime. looking live at launchpad 39a as the crew arrives, just moments ago they did arrive at the pad they will soon make their way up into the capsule in their seats, rain showers have been in the forecast this afternoon and evening making the launch technically a 50/50 shot, the four landing from houston a week ago have been quarantines ever since. from nasa the crew- 1 launch makes a historic step from test flight to certified flight 100% nasa flights and russian brides to american contractors doing

fox business network. so good to have you with us, wall street has been quite the roller coaster ride recently, the electoral votes, putting the election behind us for the most part causing the market to soar, could sum up president-elect biden transition team members as well as potential cabinet pics were not necessarily big bank friendly because the market to clam up again? >> i don't know if the whole market will clam up, baker' bans might be shaking in their loafers because what joe biden has done, he has put together a transition team that is headed by gary chancellor, he's an interesting guy, under the obama administration he led the commodity protection agency and i'll tell you what he did, he used to be a partner at goldman sachs, he has known both sides of the game, he came in and this was post financial crisis, he

slapped regulation on the derivative market, that's a fancy way of saying the wild bets that many people during the financial crisis took that went very dramatically south and triggered the housing crisis and bubble bursting. what he did, he came in and they did not like it, bankers did not like him but i'm not sure a lot of people were worried about baker's feelings at that point. now we have a much more stable situation when you bring in gary, the bankers are concerned but i think the market at the moment is very confident, we saw a record for the s&p, a record for the russell 2000, the smaller in mid-cap names, lots of them on individual stocks but the market seems stable with what joe biden has put together for now. arthel: of course you don't have a crystal ball in front of you but markets look to the future

and based on so far president-elect biden has forecast in terms of the way he will govern and what policies he will make most prevalent when he starts, what does that tell you in terms of where the market may go. >> i think is very interested in protecting the consumer and protecting the average shareholder versus worrying about the bankers at the moment. however, when you look at the people, the deputy director of the consumer financial protection bureau which she did serve for a short time under president trump but it was not a pleasant time, president trump was not a supporter of the agency and they really stopped throwing fines on anybody once mick mulvaney was put into place and you're looking at people like that who make it a priority, let's put it this way of protecting the consumer.

that's what joe biden would like to do. keep in mind, all of this could hinge on what happens in the senates, if this does go to the republicans because you know you have the georgia runoff then all bets are off and it becomes a wish list for joe biden which is simply that a big wish and you will have a senate that is very interested in keeping a muzzle on nominees for certain agencies that are to progressive so the market looks like it's solid for the moment but who knows you have headlines about the coronavirus crisis, let's hope that's a priority for the moment. arthel: it seems like the majority senate gop majority perhaps need more gridlock. >> indeed. arthel: liz claman, nice to see you. eric: covid cases rising sharply across the country, the midwest being hit hard, were about to enter the holiday travel season. do you think folks will heed the calls to stay home or gather round the thanksgiving dinner with the pandemic, that will lead us to a very dark winter. advice of the heartland straight
