7:05 am
nothing new for vice president-elect kamala harris, making history becoming the first vice president elect and being the first black south asian american to hold the second highest office in the nation. the howard university graduate also becomes the first graduate of a historically black college or university in hbcu to rise to the vice presidency. and earlier in her remarkable career harris broke other barriers as the first black senator to represent california. before that back in 2003 harris was elected to district attorney of san francisco becoming the city's first female d.a. her dual ethnicity to earn the position. as women, people of color, as supporters celebrate the historic rise of kamala harris to the presidency, locals are pausing to commemorate her beginnings in oakland and berkeley. in addition to recognizing her historic rise to the white house

7:07 am
also attended thousand oaks elementary school in berkeley. her face is on a mural in campus. the proud parents and students visited the school. >> it means a lot, the way kamala grew up, in the program she was in, she was bussed here to get a great education. my daughter is following her footsteps. >> reporter: harris has often mentioned her childhood here saying this is where she learned the road to racial justice is long. a lot of pride in berkeley for the girl with big dreams who went on to break barriers. in berkeley, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. so as a result governor gavin newsom will have to appoint a replacement to serve the rest of senator harris' term, likely would be elected to fill the seat permanently. newsom has not hinted at anyone he may be considering but is no stranger to historic choices.
7:08 am
last month he nominated the first openly gay justice to the california supreme court. and former president obama congratulated his former vice president joe biden and kamala hair which is a heartfelt statement. it reads in part we are fortunate joe got what it takes to be president and already carries himself that way. because when he walks into the white house in january he'll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming president ever has -- a raging pandemic, an unequal economy and justice system and a democracy at risk and a climate in peril. the former president obama then encouraged every american to give biden the chance and lend him their support. >> we are tracking the reaction in the bay area to the biden/harris victory. our twitter feed is a great resource for ongoing coverage. and it is just shy of 7:09. we do have move more ahead on
7:09 am
7:10 am
7:11 am
i think you owe us $48.50... wild thing. if you ride, you get it. geico motorcycle. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. welcome back. it is 7:11 right now on your sunday morning. we want to take a quick look out at san francisco, the eastern span of the bay bridge. the sun rising. you can see the sun shining on the sales force tower clear enough to see sutro tower beyond. there is some cloud cover. it is cold, and you can even see our camera shaking a little bit because it is windy out there. vianey arana will have your full microclimate forecast in about five minutes from now. it is time to bring in chuck
7:12 am
todd, moderator of "meet the press." as always, thank you for joining thus morning. i feel like i've been with you all week covering this election. i commend you for your work. >> thank you for being with me. >> definitely. while i'd love to talk about what's to come with president trump's potential recount, lawsuits, i want to get to the senate. we know now it appears that the u.s. senate will be under republican control save for two runoffs in georgia. democrats were counting on enough pickups to become a majority, hoping for the blue wave not to keep use that go cliche. so what do you think happened and what does it mean for the biden/harris administration? >> well, look, my biggest takeaway in the election the biggest mistake any analyst made after 2016 was making a prumgs
7:13 am
that 2016 was an outlier election. it was no outlier. in many ways 2020 was the 2016 election except this time none of the above vote, the third party vote, all went to joe biden. had hillary clinton won the third party vote in 2016, the result we just had this week would have been the same result as in 2016. i think that's the bigger takeaway, we're a fairly even divided country, i say fairly, in the battleground states exactly evenly divided and essentially leaning left, if you will, maybe center/left because of the popular vote perspective on that front. but, look, the georgia runoffs, don't assume anything there. georgia now an emerging battleground state. it is going to be, i think, one of those with so much money thrown ought it, it'll be something else. but when you look, when i look
7:14 am
at the results, the none of the above voters from 2016 who decided to vote for joe biden, they didn't vote for democratic senate candidates. i think they voted for republican senate candidates. look at north carolina, probably the biggest disappointment. the republican senate candidate there thom tillis, we haven't called the race yet, but performing a point or two above donald trump's vote total. what does that tell you there were some biden voters who voted for thom tillis and that was the difference between tillis winning that race and losing that race. and so i think these gary johnson voters, for the most part, who was one of the third party candidates voted biden and gop down the ballot. >> i heard someone say it was a good day for all republicans unless your name was donald trump. staying with congress it appears
7:15 am
democrats lost some seats, narrowed their majority. we here in california have a connection to nancy pelosi. is she in trouble? >> i don't think she's in trouble. you can't beat somebody unless you're going to run. there's no obvious heir apparent yet. she has, i think, done a fairly good job in the first two years of this majority trying to keep the moderates and progressives in the same tent. i think that job got a lot harder. you'll hear on the show this morning there is some resentment from some center/left democrats who believe phrases like defund the police, democratic socialism while may be arguments that fire
7:16 am
up progressives on social media, they believe they're on the right side of the issue that tactically and emotionally those phrases worked against moderates whether they lost in south florida with the socialism issue or perhaps in some swing districts because of the defund the police issue. yeah, and we heard a call saying some of them want that word to stay out of democrats' mouths. we'll continue to follow that, chuck. we hope you have a nap in your near future. thank you for your work this week and for your insight. we hope you join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." an interview with biden deputy campaign manager and mitt romney plus representative jim clyburn. we hope you stick right here and tune in at 8:00 a.m. right after this newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now our election coverage continues. we will talk to our nbc bay area political analyst, larry
7:17 am

7:18 am
>> black women -- asians, whites, latina, native american women who throughout our nation's his interest have paved the way tonight? >> reporter: the speeches were broadcast over loudspeakers. the last four years have been difficult and they weren't sure how this election would turn out. >> i'm totally elated, i'm totally relieved. i thought trump was going to win and i feel my faith in humanity is restored. >> reporter: the call for biden and harris has been cathartic. >> a show of hands how many people cried this morning when you heard the news? >> reporter: many in this crowd have actively protested against many of president donald trump's policies. tonight they cheered for the
7:19 am
president elected's calls for healing. >> let this grim era of demonization in america begin to end here and now. >> reporter: sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. >> now to observing where mayor libby schaaf took a celebratory lap around lake merritt in a ride that symbolized the slow path to victory for joe biden who first ran for president in 1988. schaaf rode as nearby crowds cheered and honked horns. the mayor says the city could not be more proud of oakland native kamala harris. >> kamala, my sister, my friend, my fellow girl, we are hella proud of you. we want you to know we have your back.
7:20 am
the work is hard. you have so much to do. >> an unforgettable moment for all the people who have cheered on harris throughout her career from the bay area to the white house. it is just about 7:20. time now to check in with vianey arana. a chilly and windy sunday. i have my sweater of the day. i'm whipping them out, kira. we're going to need them all weeklong. an active weather pattern that will make for finally fall temperatures around here. maybe even a sneak peek of winter weather. let's take a look at san francisco using our weather underground camera. great shot there. it is certainly windy and chilly but even colder heading into the overnight hours. we're starting out in the 40s and 50s. microclimate highs for today will only top out in the upper
7:21 am
50s, low 60s. we have this cold weather system dropping from the gulf of alaska. that is what's kicking up our win, but it's also going to bring the windchill factor to these 50s and 60s. in addition to that there is a possibility that we could get an isolated shower or two. here we have our storm ranger up and scanning, our mobile doppler radar. the only ones in the bay area that have it. in the sierra some shower activity and sierra snow as well. so i'm going to take you through everything that we're monitoring. zoom in closer. it's pretty calm right now. we're not seeing much rain when it comes to measurable amounts. the wind advisory is in effect and will remain in effect through 4:00 p.m. we have the northwest wind right now currently gusting upwards of 30-plus-miles-per-hour. as you know anytime it's already cold kick in gusts to 40, 50 plus miles per hour and it feels
7:22 am
even colder. look at novato. san francisco, it is definitely windy. 44 miles per hour and we're going to expect to keep the gusty winds at least for the first half of our morning. by 11:00 we start to notice the winds die down as that system continues to dig further south and notice by 5:00 which, remember, that wind advisory expires at 4:00. we see the winds back off. as far as that advisory, plenty of snow expected for the sierra. if you had plans to travel up there, check the road conditions. the hour by hour outlook shows a couple of isolated showers here and there. the cool temps will continue. and then what we're looking out for tonight is going to be that frost. there is a frost advisory now through 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. cold overnight lows in the mid-30s expected and got to remember the three ps, your pipes, your plants and your pets. for the north bay valleys and the hollister area it's going to be extremely cold.
7:23 am
here is a look. santa rosa dipping down to 30 degrees. 30 to the south bay as well as the interior valley so definitely going to be a very cold night over the next seven days we keep that active weather pattern. thursday, friday and saturday it does look like we have another low-pressure system that will bring more rain back to the bay area. kira? >> we need it. thank you so much. we do have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up president-elect biden says he is already getting to work as he lays out his plan for the first 100 days of his presidency. we take a look at how he'll fight coronavirus next.
7:25 am

agenda. >> they've given us a mandate for action on covid, the economy, climate change, systemic racism. >> reporter: at the top of his list, combatting the coronavirus crisis as new cases surge. >> on day one we're going to put our plan and control this virus into action. >> reporter: biden says he wants to develop a national covid strategy right away urging governors to mandate mask wearing, creating a plan to distribute vaccines and expand covid testing. campaign sources telling nbc news that biden is expected to announce his coronavirus task force on monday. a potential boost for obamacare with the affordable care act facing a supreme court challenge next week. >> folks, 100 million americans with pre-existing conditions who live in fear every day obamacare will be taken away, i promise it won't be. >> reporter: an immediate halt on most deportations for 100 days and says he'll create a
7:27 am
task force to reunite migrant families. when it comes to climate change he says he'll bring the u.s. back into the paris climate agreement. >> i've laid out how, in fact, i'm going to get us to net zero emissions in the united states of america by 2050. >> reporter: while promising attacking social and racial injustice. >> the names of george floyd, breonna taylor, jacob blake, they're not going to be soon forgotten by me. not by anyone in this country. >> reporter: with a nation divided, a pledge to push unity. >> it's time for us to come together as a nation to heal. it's not going to be easy. we have to try. >> that was jeff bennett reporting. we do have move more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up president-elect biden and vice president-elected harris already are setting the tone for their administration delivering messages of unity and reconciliation to this fiercely divided nation.

7:35 am
the message is concise. biden defeats trump. "the new york post" with a play on words, it's joe time. shattering glass ceilings is nothing new for vice president-elected kamala harris. she makes history becoming the first vice president elect and being the first black south asian american to hold the second highest office in the land. the howard university graduate also becomes the first person from a historically black college or university in hbcu to rise to the vice presidency. and earlier in her remarkable career harris broke other barriers as the first black senator to represent california. before that back in 2003 harris was elected district attorney of san francisco and became the city's first female d.a. her dual ethnicity made her the first black woman and south

7:37 am
the white house and who is a minority and a woman is just the most cool thing ever. >> reporter: as a child harris also attended thousand oaks elementary school in berkeley. her face is on a mural on campus. the proud parents and students visited the school. >> it means a lot actually because the way kamala grew up in the program she was in, she was bussed here to get a great education. my daughter is following in her footsteps. >> reporter: harris has often mentioned her childhood here saying this is where she learned the road to racial justice is long. a lot of pride in berkeley for the little girl with big dreams who went on to break barriers. in berkeley, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >> and with harris making history as the first woman vice president, her husband will be the first male spouse of a vice

7:39 am
demonstrations. this is from sacramento. things did get violent right outside the state capitol building. people started pushing and shoving one another. it is not clear who started the unrest. aside from a few tweets the president has been silent. he went golfing in virginia and was there when the presidency was called for joe biden. crowds of biden supporters appeared to be lining the streets. the president has not yet conceded and continues to make claims of voter fraud without evidence. he did release a statement vowing to fight the results in court. again, there is no substantiated evidence of any voter fraud. lawsuits that were filed by the trump campaign to stop the vote count have already been dismissed. legal experts say it's not likely for his upcoming lawsuit to succeed either. >> he would have to do something
7:40 am
never done in american history which is to show multiple states counted votes that were illegal. there's no evidence that it's happened here. >> some states will enter an automatic recount because of how close the race was. experts say the process is extremely unlikely to make a difference because it only tends to change a few hundred votes if that. we will continue to track any lawsuits, any recounts, all of the celebrations for the biden/harris ticket and the ties to the bay area by kamala harris. check our twitter feed. it's a great resource. follow us at nbc bay area. and at 7:40, still to come on "today in the bay," a historic election ends in a joe biden victory. how did it all happen? political analyst larry gerston joins us in a few minutes. but first you hear our sports music. stanford drops its season opener

7:48 am
time around? >> hello to your mother and brother-in-law. we had three buckets of votes, the day of voters, right, the ones who go in election day and vote. massive amounts of absentee votes, people who just moved things along and we had direct mail and then we also had the early voting. every state had a different way of counting those votes. some states count the day of first and then the absentee and mailed in votes later. some states's the other way around. it took a massive amount of time to just process all of these votes. that may not sound very sexy but that's what it was.
7:49 am
overwhelmed by so many votes from so many different places. >> i've seen this all week. is that the delay in counting mail-in ballots is what ultimately helps biden win the election? >> a lot of people have said it. i'm not so sure i look at it that way. what the president said was this is a rigged election. it's the mail-in votes are going to be fraudulent, so i'm urging my people to vote day of. the democrats were saying, hey, because of covid we have to urge our folks to get the ballots in when they can. don't show up if you don't have to. i think the votes would have been the same either way. the way it turned out democrats got all their votes in, took some pretty good leads. the republicans came on voting day. they cut into those leads and in some cases overcame those leads. i don't think it makes much difference. it was an extraordinarily close race.
7:50 am
