it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

a couple days. there are 10 candidates. gloria rodriguez live in the newsroom. >> it might take a few days before we know the winter when it comes to the oakland mayor's race done by ranked choice voting. early results are in, but they are early. these numbers will only be people's first round votes and two front runners have emerged. oakland city councilmember loren taylor with about 34% of the vote now. taylor scored some key endorsements from libby schaaf and the mayors of san francisco and san jose. the vice mayor with 29%, a progressive endorsed by california attorney general -- by the california and big labor unions. some activists say that, whoever the next mayor is, uniting city

y -- city hall will be a challenge. >> it is just -- there is so much division. >> 10 candidates are running to take over. 100% of precincts are reporting but it may take a few days before the ranked choice votes are counted. now, it is just a waiting game. >> thank you. we want to take you back to the results of the propositions you voted on. jobina is here with three more. >> we are going to start with proposition 29 regarding the dialysis clinics. i know you saw those commercials over and over. it is projected to fail. this is the third time this proposition has been on the ballot, because check this out. these are the numbers from 2020, 63% no. you can even see 2018, 62% now.

we can also use something called our heat map, where we zoom into our region. it does tell a different story. very split for alameda county and completely different from the rest of san francisco county with 58% saying yes. back to our overall view. i want to talk about proposition 30. governor newsom was against proposition 30 even though he is pro electric cars, because this would have basically mean higher taxes for wealthy californians, and those extra tax dollars would have gone to get more electric cars on the road. so overall, the state said no, but san francisco county again very different from the state total. our last one we will talk about, proposition 31. this was projected to do well and it is projected to pass. it puts a ban on flavored tobacco products. look at how well it did in marin county, 80%.

san francisco county, 78%. it goes on and on. we have results to other propositions on our website. >> thank you. the balance of power in congress is still up in the air. republicans are favored to retake the house. democrats may win more seats than previously expected. abc news projects republicans have won 207 house seats. they need 218 to control. current house minority leader kevin mccarthy could become house speaker if the gop wins control. mccarthy remains confident about his party's future after election night. >> the american people are ready for a majority that will offer a new direction, that will put america back on track, republicans are ready to deliver it. it is a new direction towards an economy that is strong, where you can fill up your tank, feed your family, where your paychecks grow and not shrink. a new direction towards a nation

that is safe, where communities are protected, law enforcement is respected and criminals are prosecuted. a new direction towards a future that is built on freedom, where children come first and are taught to dream big. and a new direction towards a government that is accountable, where government works for you instead of against you. >> current house speaker nancy pelosi said it is clear house democratic members are strongly outperforming expectations across the country. >> governor newsom cruised to reelection in the governors race a little more than a year after defeating a recall effort. the governor was going up against republican brian dally, who many say didn't have enough name recognition to win. newsom took a victory lap last night not just about his win but also proposition one, which protects abortion rights in the state the. the governor did little to no

campaigning for governor. he says he doesn't take his win for granted. >> this is my third election in four years and i'm deeply humbled by the results, deeply humbled to have the privilege to extend my term as governor of the state, but i'm also deeply motivated and mindful of all the energy in this room, particularly the affirmative step california took. >> newsom did not take questions but says he will focus on issues like housing, jobs and health care. he vows to finish his second term despite talking may make a run for the white house if president biden chooses not to seek a second term. >> the california assembly speaker pro tem will replace jackie spear in the house of representatives. he's leading in the results and the county supervisor has already conceded. spear says she has more work to do. >> i am not saying goodbye.

that is the good part. i am coming home and i am not done. i'm going to start a new chapter and it will be all about making sure that families and women can thrive in this region. >> congresswoman jackie spear has served for nearly 15 years as the representative for district 15. hundreds of people showed up at john's grill in downtown san francisco for a free election day lunch. former mayor brown hosted the election day event, a san francisco tradition that dates back to the 1980's. brown says despite the negativity in american politics today, he's excited that he's optimistic about the future -- today, he is optimistic about the future. >> young people just now beginning to understand, 21, 2 e at 21 and that's a good thing.>r

comes to appointees. i was asking her yesterday, do you think this will give you a mandate? she kind of brushed it off as this is just the will of the voters, but there's no doubt that mayor breed will be taking a lot of momentum from this and some of the ballot propositions. >> can i add one more thing about this? something that will not be a headline today probably, because the school board is not the biggest issue on this ballot, but there are three people that you could vote for on the san francisco ballot for school board. one of them actually said racist things about children within the san francisco schools and still appears to be winning on this ballot. that was one of mayor breed's appointees. what does that say? >> that would be the appointee you are mentioning. she had basically made comments that children of particular backgrounds, their parents are not as involved in their

education. far and wide, everybody realized that was an inappropriate statement. she apologized, said she was needing to do some more education on herself to better understand different cultures. you now, i don't think you can defend the statements in any way. i think, coming from the asian-american community in san francisco, the community had a huge role in the school board recalls from earlier this year, and so, when they -- when people went to cast their votes, sometimes people fell down into categorizing themselves through identity politics and i think she benefited from that. i don't know if that says anything about mayor breed because obviously mayor breed was very much not a fan of those comments and definitely condemned them. i think she also said that she thought that she deserved a chance to serve on the board and

show that's not really where her heart lies. >> let's talk about the race for district attorney. mayor breed appointed breaux jenkins to fill that position after the recall of the previous district attorney. then finding out she was indeed paid. are you surprised she is leading now and appears to be winning? >> i don't know if i would say i am surprised that brooke jenkins is in such a big lead, mainly because her challengers were not necessarily the best picks of the letter. they were just a couple of -- three individuals in total, but two both came out to run against brooke jenkins and neither of them were considered strong challengers. i think brooke's issues when it comes to the fact that she was not very transparent about getting paid by people associated with the recall.

also, there is the question about some records that she had sent out shortly before leaving the district attorney's office and whether that was a violation of law. so brooke -- da jenkins -- will have some issues on her hands. she is taking this tough on crime mantle up, but there's a question of whether or not she's always kind of playing it by the book. that was a question raised about her time as a prosecutor in the d.a.'s office. she has a mandate now based on the results we are seeing and will likely win, but that does not mean the scrutiny goes away or that it should. >> what happened with district six? you had matt dorsey versus honey mahogany. matt dorsey once again with the trend was being supported by mayor breed. honey mahogany has spent many years in the office she was trying to lead and it does not appear that it's close now.

>> now. that one was actually fairly surprising. we thought matt dorsey might win but it would be much closer. honey mahogany, a trans woman of color in the city who has been a long time social worker, business owner -- she was on rupaul's drag race and got attention from that and had some performances. i would say that honey really suffered from the fact of redistricting this spring taking out the tenderloin from district six. i think if those boundaries had stayed the same, the outcome could have been a lot different, but right now, it looks very clear that matt dorsey is going to get this victory, and that is a huge thing for mayor breed because matt dorsey has a previous experience in the police department as their head of communications and he's very

tight with police chief scott. he will have the ability to help get everyone on the same page when it comes to messaging. i wrote a story about matt dorsey and he's very keen on having a playbook on how to speak to the media and put out communications to residents. when it comes to getting the d.a., police chief and mayor's office on the same page, he will be integrally involved. >> josh kane. the headline again, mayor breed not on the ballot but also on the ballot. great analysis. thank you. >> i don't know how you do this every day. >> neither do we. >> a lot of hot water on your face when you first wake up to be honest. someone in the bay is now a millionaire. a ticket worth more than $1 million for the powerball jackpot was sold here. the ticket that matched five out of the six numbers was bought at 1001 castro street market.

the owner says he has owned convenience stores in this city for more than 40 years but never had someone win a seven-figure prize. >> i have another store for 42 years and not like this, no. >> the owner says he sold nearly 500 tickets in just one day leading up to the drawing, one ticket worth nearly $2 billion sold in l.a. county, but whoever was in the castro, look. you cannot buy a house in the castro with that, but you can put a down payment on it. for your morning money report, inflation is hitting the holiday shopping season hard. experts say inflation is expected to be one of the major issues for american households this year. according to retail me not, roughly half of shoppers will buy less this year because of higher prices. around 30% of people are expected to be using coupons to cut costs. there are growing concerns about affordability and what

money-saving strategies to use with our increasing prices. taking a look at the stock exchange. you can see we are starting in negative territory, down 263 points. not the winner of the lottery. >> not buying a house but you could. >> i mean -- >> hey. >> you literally cannot buy a two bedroom condo in the castro for the $1.1 million that person just got. >> nice chunk of money though. i would take it. >> but there is something about that. >> i know. you won the lottery and still cannot buy a house. >> still printing. sorry. >> getting triggered by this. partly cloudy skies out there. nice morning shower along the coast but mostly sunny. cold the next few days and a chance for a shower sunday morning.

we had a coastal shower around half moon bay this morning into the sierra. chain controls on 80 and 50. a winter storm warning still in effect. about an additional six inches of snow. over the past three days, we are likely looking at feet of fresh powder in the mountains. it is cold out. 30's and 40's. have several layers, the heavy jacket, maybe the gloves and scarf. later today, partly cloudy, upper 50's to lower 60's, below average for this time of year, and another cold night. clear skies. we are dropping into the 30's and 40's. a frost advisory in effect tonight. look at the areas it includes. much of the north, inland east bay, south bay. here is the forecast. we will find the a.m. chance of a shower along the coast. it is a sunny day after about 9 a.m. morning frost thursday.
