>> you know who will sing? cher. she's the only one who good morning, america. breaking overnight, history in georgia. victory for democrat raphael warnock becoming the state's first black senator. the first black democrat ever from the south. that second high-stakes race in georgia that could tip the balance of power in the senate still too close to call. this as lawmakers meet in d.c. to certify president-elect joe biden's victory. dozens of republicans gearing up to challenge the results. president trump still pressuring vice president pence to overturn the election. he doesn't have the power to do that and clashes erupting on the streets of washington overnight. trump supporters facing off with police and the national guard called in to keep the peace. also this morning, another new record of more than 131,000 americans currently hospitalized with covid-19. arizona with the country's highest rate of infection. patients driving as far as six

grammys gold on hold. ♪ no man >> music's biggest night officially postponed. now, when will the superstar show go on? ♪ good morning, america. as we said, history made in georgia overnight. >> reverend raphael warnock, the pastor of martin luther king's ebenezer baptist church becomes the state's first black senator. you see him right there, and those georgia races will determine the future of what happens in the capitol and they'll certify the votes for president-elect biden. the president saying he can overturn the election, and that is not true. essentially it's like the oscars. he opens up the envelope and says, here are the votes. >> see if that remains the case. he should do that -- >> we will be watching today.

>> we will be watching today. we are going to begin with georgia, that second race still undecided and it will determine as we said who holds power in the senate. steve osunsami starts us off at ebenezer baptist church there in atlanta with the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. this time the vote totals came in quickly, and while officials are still counting a few outstanding votes in a few different counties, democrats here and across the country are liking the results they're seeing. this morning that democrats are one step closer to taking control of the u.s. senate. >> i am going to the senate to work for all of georgia. >> reporter: but the election of a black man to statewide office in the south is also an emotional and a historic moment. black americans have rarely won these kind of elections and now, abc news is projecting that reverend raphael warnock, the senior pastor at one of america's most historic black churches will win one of georgia's two senate seats

decided by voters. the senator he is projected to defeat, senator kelly loeffler, a strong supporter of the president, is still not conceding this morning. >> we have a path to victory, and we're staying on it. >> reporter: in the other senate race here between republican senator david perdue and democrat candidate jon ossoff, it is still too close to call. the entire nation was rooting for their side in georgia. democrats need to win both seats to win control of the senate, and they will already have control of the white house and the house of representatives. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the republicans only needed to win one of the two races here to keep control of the senate giving them a chance to put a stop to the incoming president's agenda. the history of what's happening this morning is not at all lost on senator-elect warnock who becomes only the 11th black u.s. senator ever and is being sent to washington from the deep south. the kind spirit of dr. martin luther king that lives on in his church also lives on in this moment.

>> my mother who as a teenager growing up in waycross, georgia, used to pick somebody else's cotton, but the other day, because this is america, the 82-year-old hands that used to pick somebody else's cotton went to the polls and picked her youngest son to be the united states senator. so i come before you tonight as a man who knows that the improbable journey that led me to this place in this historic moment in america could only happen here. >> reporter: during the campaign warnock downplayed the importance of ebenezer baptist church where he is a pastor but let me underline the significance right now. it is one of the oldest black churches in america. across the street, as you're seeing in this live picture, is the old historic building where martin luther king jr. was

pastor, and dr. king and his wife are buried next door. this is important earth to black americans who are a major force in this election. george. >> thanks, steve. we are joined by reverend raphael warnock. reverend warnock, thanks for joining us. congratulations. first black senator ever from the state of georgia. what does that say to you about your state and our country? >> good morning, george. listen, i'm deeply honored that the people of georgia decided to place their faith in me and have decided to send me to represent their interests in washington, d.c. i look forward to representing all of the people of georgia. certainly this is a historic moment and i'm just deeply grateful to be a vessel in a moment in which we're facing such large problems in our country and i can't wait to get to the u.s. senate to represent the concerns of ordinary people. >> where do you think president trump's questioning of the georgia election over the last

several weeks had in your win? >> well, you know, there are plenty of pundits who will slice and dice and talk about that, but i'm really focused on the people here in this state who have been wondering, when are they getting the relief they need? the senate should have approved the $2,000 stimulus last week. people are really struggling, and i look forward to doing that important work, and i'm deeply honored. it took a lot of hands to get us here, and georgia is in such an incredible place when you think about the arc of our history. we are sending an african-american pastor of ebenezer baptist church where martin luther king jr. served, and also jon ossoff, a young jewish man, the son of an immigrant to the u.s. senate. this is the reversal of the old southern strategy that sought to divide people. in this moment, we've got to

bring people together in order to do the hard work and i look forward to doing that. >> 14 days from now joe biden will be inaugurated as president of the united states. beyond those $2,000 stimulus checks, what's your number one goal for this year? >> well, we got to get this virus under control. like so many americans as we witnessed the incredible death toll, over 350,000 americans lost lives, lost livelihoods. we need a national strategy that takes this virus seriously, that gets the vaccine distributed safely and efficiently. we've got to re-open our economy, get our kids safely back to school, and we've got to make sure that people know that they will have their health care, particularly in the middle of a pandemic. >> reverend warnock, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> big smile there. >> he knows he has work to do and is ready to do it. that's very i a parent. >> yes, he is. and control of the senate is

at stake this morning and if the democrats win both seats in georgia, they'll control the senate, the house and the presidency. tom llamas has the very latest on the georgia results at abc news election headquarters. good morning, tom. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. let's start with control of the senate because the math is very simple. this is where it stands right now with that victory overnight in georgia. democrats hold 49 seats in the senate, republicans hold 50 seats. if democrats are able to win that other senate race it would be tied, 50/50, so who is the tiebreaker? vice president-elect kamala harris, she is a democrat, of course, that would mean the democrats have the majority in the senate. let's talk about what happened last night and talk about that warnock victory. how did he win? well, a lot of his wins mirrored what joe biden did in the state of georgia. the reason why joe biden had that historical win, he was able to drive up the vote in the atlanta metro region. what warnock did was different. he actually improved on some of joe biden's gains. i want you to focus on two numbers right here. this is how warnock won.

this is his percentage of victory versus joe biden. you can see it's just a few percentage points higher and that happened in a lot of the suburban counties around atlanta. we go here to clayton county as well. you can see joe biden won with 85% of the vote, warnock with 88%. each percentage point thousands of votes, and you can also see that in henry county as well, 59% versus 61%. several of those put warnock on top, michael. >> and, tom, where do things stand with ossoff and what can we expect? >> okay, michael, jon ossoff, 33-year-old political newcomer, taking on senator perdue. this race is still very, very close. i can explain why democrats are encouraged this morning, there are still outstanding votes, but about 9,000 of those outstanding votes, maybe even more, and in these deep blue counties we know that democrats have been winning two-thirds of

the votes. but you can see, the republicans are running out of places to catch up. >> still a tight race and don't worry about your writing. we'll work on that. we got you. robin. okay, michael. not only is control of the senate hanging in the balance, but a joint session of congress is convening today to certify the results of the presidential election. tensions running high. supporters of president trump gather there in washington. some republican lawmakers are gearing up to challenge the election results. cecilia vega has the very latest for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning to you too. so today president trump gets that hail mary election showdown he's been demanding but in the end to be clear, the result will be the exact same one he has been refusing to accept for months, that joe biden is the next president of the united states. overnight, clashes erupting on the streets of washington. right outside the white house, trump supporters facing off with police. this after president trump called on his backers to show up in droves. today as many as 30,000 people expected to gather outside the white house, including the

president himself and white wing extremist groups like the proud boys. the national guard called in to keep the peace. the president is still falsely claiming the results of the election now rest in the hands of mike pence who will preside over the joint session of congress today when electoral votes are formally counted. still sources tell abc news president trump made it clear to pence that he expects him to deny biden victory, but behind closed doors at a white house lunch on tuesday, sources say pence pushed back, telling the president he does not have the power to block biden's decisive win. in a statement, the president denied it, saying they are in total agreement that the vice president has the power to act. even though that is not how it works, the vice president has no actual authority to accept or reject any votes, but it's not stopping the president from mounting a pressure campaign. >> i hope that our great vice president, our great vice president comes through for us. he's a great guy. of course, if he doesn't come through, i won't like him quite

as much. >> reporter: this as even one of the president's longtime lawyers publicly breaks ranks. >> i actually don't think that's what the constitution has in mind. if that were the case, anybody's -- any vice president could refuse any election. >> reporter: in what critics call a theatrical stunt, more than half of republicans in the house and 13 republican senators are expected to lodge formal challenges to results in at least three states. states that have already certified the election. states where courts have repeatedly found no credible evidence of the president's false claims of widespread voter fraud. the group of challengers do not have the votes to overturn the will of the american electorate. republicans like oklahoma senator jim imhoff, calling it a violation of my oath of office. normally this joint session would be a quick affair filled with pomp and circumstance but with these republican challenges, this could end up stretching late into the night, perhaps even into the early morning hours of tomorrow, but given all the false claims the

president keeps making we have to keep saying this. the result in the end will be the same as it was since the election was declared more than two months ago. george, donald trump lost. joe biden won. >> that's right. this is all performance art today in the senate. let's bring in chris christie and rahm emanuel and rahm, the senate races in georgia, raphael warnock, the winner, jon ossoff in the lead right now. so much at stake for president-elect joe biden if they get that senate control. >> well, a lot is at stake for joe biden, but more importantly, a lot is at stake for people who joe biden wants to help with investments and climate change, infrastructure, job training. it is because in the senate if you have the gavel, you have control. if you have control you have power, period, end of sentence, and obviously with that ability a lot of things can get done with schumer having that gavel rather than mcconnell in the rearview mirror, you could see that $2,000 check. mcconnell said it's not hitting

the floor, end of story. chuck schumer wouldn't have that happen. so that has a major impact on his agenda, and if you point to 12 months in the end of the budget process, you know, by historic rules, you only need 50 votes to pass it. so a lot of things can get done in what's called a reconciliation of the budget process and a lot of the president-elect's agenda he'll lay out in the state of the union in february will lay out that agenda, and you can see that all working towards a major reconciliation that has major investments in infrastructure, climate change technology, job training, schools, community colleges, all the things he ran on. tax policy, investment policy. that's what will happen, and that's where the rubber hits the road. >> chris christie, it's not over yet. jon ossoff is in the lead right now, but you're already starting to see recriminations from republicans against president trump for making those claims about the georgia election the last couple of months muddling the republican message. >> well, george, listen, having

been the head of a party in my state for eight years when i was governor, here's the way it works. when your party wins, you get a lion's share of the credit. when your party loses, you get a lion's share of the blame, and that's what will happen here. so, you know, there's no doubt about that, that, you know, as you look at the warnock win and ossoff's being ahead, while i'm certainly not ready to concede the perdue race yet, i do say that it is an extraordinary turnout. when you look at 4.5 million to 4.6 million people there's two things you see the democratic turnout continued to go up in this runoff based on what the projections were, and in that some of the rural areas of georgia, you know, republican turnout was not what people expected, and so there's going to be a lot of dissecting of why that was the case, and who to blame, and that's what happens when you lose elections. rather than everybody thinking you're a genius when you win.

>> chris christie, we only have 30 seconds left. president trump continues to make claims about the power of vice president pence. can you set the record straight? >> oh, yeah, listen, the vice president merely reads the envelopes. what's in the envelopes this morning, and there's nothing for him to do regarding the determination of the election, and that's what mike pence will do. let's not forget, in 2000, 2004 and 2016, democratic members of congress lodged these complaints as well. the difference is donald trump, what he's saying now as opposed to al gore, john kerry and hillary clinton who did not. >> right. they all conceded. chris christie, thanks very much. robin? >> distinct difference right there. we are following a lot of other headlines including the latest on the covid-19 crisis and the frustration mounting across the country over the vaccine rollout. surgeon general dr. jerome adams is standing by and will join us live. also this morning, new details on kim and kanye. the powerhouse couple might be calling it quits.

>> yeah, so when i was a lot heavier, i couldn't really go kayaking or canoeing because i'd tip it over or sink and now i can do that and i can go a lot faster too because, you know, i have a lot less weight to carry on me so -- >> all sorts of activities that are now right there at your feet which are awesome. so cool because you actually created your own weight loss program. a lot of people need help. you did it yourself. why do you think that worked so well for yourself? >> i, you know, i was able to choose what foods i want to eat. you know, and i can mix it up really -- if one day i'm just like craving fruit or something i'll eat a bunch of fruit and protein shakes here and there and the next day i'll want some meat or protein and i'll eat that and have some yogurt and, you know, you can really just, you know, do your own thing and, you know, you can have like a

>> yeah. >> did you mean like as a friend or >> no, not just as a friend. >> yeah, i thought that might be implied. i just wasn't sure. >> paul joins us live now, good morning, paul. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning. how are you, thank you very much for having me. >> doing great. i know your life has changed quite a bit. my daughters are huge fans of the show. they were talking about it endlessly during lockdown. that's how a lot of people saw this and, you know, we're all in quarantine and yet your popularity has soared. what's it been like watching your life change? >> yeah, i suppose it's been an incredible year. i think the world itself is a very strange place at the moment but i'm on a professional level that's been one of those years that i couldn't have dreamt of when i was in drama school so

i'm very grateful to be prepping for a job now in the middle of all this so, yeah, it's been a bit of a whirlwind, all right. >> you and your co-star daisy edgar-jones had the chance to watch the show together and came up with a game. so how did that go? >> yeah, it ended in a bit of a blur to be honest. we set up -- basically it was in the kind of midst of lockdown and myself and daisy haven't had the opportunity to watch the show together so came up with an ingenious drinking game where it was basically any time come wouldn't finish his sentence or marianne would make a big statement that would make come uncomfortable we'd have to take a shot and unfortunately they do a lot of that in the series so we ended up a little bit on the tipsy side. >> ooh. that's another story for another day, i'm sure but we hear that there's another breakout star of

the series, because your character wears this chain around his neck and it has its own following. 180,000 followers almost. did you have any idea that a simple accessory would be such a big hit? >> no, i think that was kind of one of those crazy moments when like you just see the kind of following of a chain that you wore on a show kind of become this thing and that, no, it was definitely something that wasn't prepared for or anything that we even thought from within the show would be this thing and it's -- i suppose it's just a testament to the kind of popularity that the show had amongst its fans and i think may have manifested itself in its adoration for the chain maybe. >> we understand you also had another big performance. you had a starring role in the rotling stones video "scarlet."

how did you channel your inner mick jagger. >> again, that was right in the middle of like heavy, heavy lockdown so we couldn't -- the way it was shot was that we couldn't really have crew in the room because of coronavirus and things like that so it was like in the video there i'm moving the camera and i kind of just was told by the guys to go a little bit nuts and trash the place so i trashed the place and act drunk, it was a fun job. >> yeah, sounds like the role of a lifetime. >> sounds like you did it right after you and daisy had some drinking game contests. >> yeah. >> but, paul, you've been so busy. we'll see you in "the lost daughter" directed by maggie gyllenhaal and stars olivia coleman. how does it feel like to be back with such ang incredible group? >> yeah, i mean, again, one of those pinch yourself moments when you're looking out and see

olivia coleman and dakota johnson and incredible actors then your name is also there a little further down albeit but it was, again, just four or five weeks working with maggie and those actors was the most incredible experience and just seeing how they go about their work is truly inspiring and it was, yeah, it was an amazing time spent with amazing people. >> we're excited to see what you do in 2021 with that big year in 2020. paul, thank you so much for being with us. we want to tell all our viewers all episodes of "normal people" are now available on hulu. >> all right, amy. now to dry january. not really a good segue after what we just had. >> these two. >> the dry january. there are people who are putting down alcohol while picking up a popular health trend lemon water.

"the new york times" is reporting about the new interest in benefits. board certified dermatologist and dear, dear friend dr. whitney bowe, there you are joining us this morning. happy new year, our friend. how are you doing? how is everybody? >> happy new year, my beautiful friend. your skin is always glowing. >> oh, wow. you know what, i have increased -- first of all, thank you and i do attribute it to out fact i am consciously drinking more and more water so talk about the benefits of that, dr. bowe. >> yeah, when your skin starts to lose moisture always just become dehydrated the first thing you'll notice is a dullness to the skin because the light instead of reflecting bouncing off and giving you that beautiful glow, it actually gets absorbed and scattered and start to see it looks more dull and then if you continue, not doing what you're doing and not really hydrating hospitally then you'll start to see fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes look

more pronounced and even the skin feels rough. doesn't feel as soft and as smooth as it becomes more and more dehydrated. >> you know, did you hear about this, the interest in the term lemon water that google, it doubled from mid-november to mid-december and is there a difference with having lemon in your water? >> yeah, oh, absolutely, i the lemon that has vitamin c and vitamin c -- i always tell me use a vitamin serum on your skin but vitamin c is so important in your diet too. it is a potent antioxidant and protects your skin all day long but it's required by your skin to assistant thiez collagen so cole la yen is what keeps it firm and tight and your body can't make it if it doesn't have enough vitamin c. >> we were debating also, dr. bowe, do you just squeeze the lemon in. you don't put the whole lemon in, maybe if you're at home but

at a restaurant, bar, if you can go back to a bar do you put the whole slice in? >> you want to -- such a good question. there's truthfully so much nutritional benefit in the feel so do want to take that wedge and squeeze the whole wedge and then drop the feel into the water but, robin, temperatures really important here because vitamin c is sensitive to heath. it loses its potency, say you're squeezing it into a tea or hot water it's not going to be as effective as if you put it in just room temperature or cooler water. >> you got michael strahan. >> i did not know that. >> something other people don't know, sports directs must be great, not so fast. tell them why. >> so, some sports drinks, you know the fact they have electrolytes and minerals is good for hydration but some are really high in sugar and if you're an endurance athlete and really need to rehydrate it's

okay to have that added blew coast but for most of us, you know, you guys are definitely sort of the high performance -- for me and for the rest of america, you know, it's way too much sugar and glication. keep an eye out for sugar. football champion. i was a bowling champion. >> i was looking at you two. i have not performed anything in a while. >> but quickly, dr. bowe, also, not just about drinking water. in our food there is a way to get hydrated. >> we get 20% of our water from our foods so things like berries, things like eating an apple, you can eat your water too. >> you are the best. thwarting us off in '21 just right so can't wait to see you
