recession is about 50% for next year, what does that say for state of economy? >> reporter: the state of the economy for december is strong, because consumer spending is two-thirds of our economic activity, that means what we all collectively spend and that's showing economic strength, so if we judge by the record holiday spending so far things are looking great. now experts say while americans are concerned about 40-year high inflation levels, especially for basics such as rent and groceries, holiday habits are hard to break, so most people will find other ways at other times to tighten their belts, so far shoppers are buying gifts in two big categories -- toys and electronics. some of the hottest toys, we have a list for you. squishmallows, roblox, paw patrol, cocomelon, now top gaming consoles including nintendo switch, xox series x and playstation 5. as for electronics you have

janai, a lot of folks waking up to a soggy start on this saturday. if you're doing some traveling be aware it's going to be wet out there. where the storm system is right now. as you look at the map, you'll see it's over texas down to houston, but as head into the early even hours, heavy rain pushing into missouri, back into texas, along i-10 in the afternoon, could be some severe storms, even the i-40 corridor. as we head into sunday morning the rain stretches into chicago, detroit, pittsburgh, d.c. and charlotte, and by the way, 1 to 2 inches of rain not out of the question for these areas. it could be a little sloppy on su io new rk city, even boston, and by sunday evening it's moving into the northeast and really new england. it pushes out just in time for that monday morning commute. back to you. now to new details emerging in that deadly walmart shooting, we're learning more about the youngest victim as the city of chesapeake, virginia, prepares to take action to help the community recover.

abc's jay o'brien joins us with the latest. >> reporter: that youngest victim just 16 years old as the chesapeake community plans memorials for the six killed inside that walmart and investigators released new details about the alleged gunman and what he wrote before the attack. this morning, authorities identifying 16-year-old fernando chavez-barron, the sixth and youngest victim of the shooting at a virginia walmart two days before thanksgiving. >> fernando is my friend. best friend. he was intelligent, he was a soccer friend. fernando was like any other kid in the community. >> reporter: the teenager's family holding a memorial in his memory as the chesapeake community plans a candlelight vigil for monday honoring him and the five other victims. lorenzo gamble, brian pendleton,

fears of lockdowns as beijing orders faster construction of covid-19 quarantine centers. and field hospitals. lama hasan has the latest on the rush at supermarkets and the growing protests. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning to you, eva, the frustration and the anger growing by the day, overnight huge protests erupting a day after a fire engulfed an apartment block, trapping its residents. dramatic video showing demonstrators pushing through barriers and shouting for an end to the covid lockdown, residents there have been locked down since august because they believe that the strict covid restrictions made it difficult for the residents to escape the fire and for firefighters to get through which is a claim officials deny. hours after the protest officials said they'll begin easing that lockdown today, china is now battling to control an outbreak of covid-19. several major cities including the capital beijing recording their highest number of cases

for the third consecutive day, that's the highest number of infections since the pandemic began and, remember, china has been trying to enforce strict quarantine measures and a zero covid policy for the last three years, the latest round of restrictions are causing people to panic buy in some districts. something that hasn't happened for months. janai. >> thank you for that update. back here at home, early voting gets under way in georgia in the much anticipated senate runoff between raphael warnock and herschel walker. maryalice parks has been following this. >> reporter: some big crucial counties right in atlanta area, voters will have the choice to head to the polls starting today. this is the last big cliffhanger in this election season. democratic senator warnock is trying to keep his seat, he's

facing that challenge from republican herschel walker, but there has been this real battle over voting, over the options that voters would have in this runoff race, democrats fought to keep the polls open today to have this special saturday voting. they wanted to give voters as many options as possible, as many days as possible to vote. republicans went to court multiple times to try to forbid saturday voting but ultimately they lost. so in 27 counties today, voters will have the option to go and vote and starting on monday, voters all across the state will have the option to go in and vote early in person if they choose up ahead of that december 6th runoff date. now, remember, democrats have already secured enough votes to keep control of the senate, this race will not change that, but if democratic senator raphael warnock does win and give democrats a 51st vote, it could make it a lot easier for

democrats to get their way in committees and potentially conduct investigations. whit. >> maryalice, thank you. a pair of new york police officers jumped into action to save a man who fallen on to subway tracks, body cam footage shows them running into the subway station, a good samaritan already on the tracks, the officers then jump in while they say they could hear people on the platform warning them they had just two minutes before the next train arrived. together they brought the man to safety and all made it back on to the platform just before that train pulled into the station. time now for a check of the weather and danielle breezy, how is it looking out there, danielle? tell you what, guys, it's cold this morning in nashville and we're tracking winter weather in parts of west texas and new mexico. take a look at this video here, this is the snow covering new mexico here, where they got a half a foot of snow, and by the way it's still snowing in those
