from a bellwether abortion vote to key races in the south.

the results are in from election night. it could set the stage for 2024. censured over incendiary comments. the growing backlash for rashida talib about the israel-hamas war. the super fog causing chaos for drivers near new orleans. and charging toward disaster. credit card debt soars past a trillion dollars. the buck doesn't stop here. how a deer cost a "jersey man" s jersey man some serious dough. good morning, i'm phillip mena. >> i'm frances rivera. we want to get right to those election results. the voters of ohio have spoken, and the right to abortion access will be enshrined in the state's constitution. ballot measures backing abortion rights have won in every

election so far, ever since the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. ohio voters also voted on recreational marijuana, becoming the 24th state in the nation to say yes to cannabis. >> let's turn to the candidates who won big last night. brie jackson joins us. there were closely-watched governor races this year. tell us about that. >> reporter: that's right, good morning, frances, phillip. let's start in kentucky. it may be a red state, but democrat andy beshear has won a second term as governor, defeating daniel cameron. beshear used the victory to call for more unity. >> it was a victory that sends a loud, clear message. a message that candidates should run for something and not against someone. and a clear statement that anger politics should end right here and right now. >> reporter: in mississippi,

republican governor tate reeves will also hold onto his job for a second term. reeves was favored to win, but democrat brandon presley gave him a surprisingly tough challenge. now one reason the election was competitive is because of black voters in the state who were very motivated. a jim crow-era measure was recently repealed which required any one running for office to win a majority of the state's districts, not just the popular vote. it was seen as a way of limiting the power of black voters. now for this election that barrier was gone mississippi did run into election day problems, though. a judge extended the voeting hours in one county after turnout was higher than expected and they ran out of ballots. one polling place says they ran out of ballots as early as 9:00 a.m. meanwhile, history was made in philadelphia. democrat cherelle parker has been elected. the city's first female mayor.

in her campaign she says she wants to make philadelphia the safest and cleanest city. >> you heard me talk about making our public health and safety our number one priority. listen, i don't apologize about that. we are going to use every legal tool that is in the tool book to make the city safe. >> reporter: and the white house says that president biden spoke with parker to congratulate her on her victory. frances, phillip? >> brie jackson reporting from miami, thank you. a sitting member of congress has been censured in the house. rashida talib was accused of calling for the destruction of israel. >> the idea that criticizing the government of israel is appoint

sem anti-semitic sets a very dangerous precedent. >> she says her positions have been distorted and her perspective is feeneeded in congress more now than ever. israel marked one month since the worst anakttack in it history. many were murdered in their own homes with their children. at the western wall in jerusalem, there was grief for the dead and anguish for the 240 held hostage in gaza. for the latest, let's go to chapman bell who's following developments for us. we understand even now attacks on israel coinue? >> reporter: well, phillip, good morning, yes, they do. but the number of launches from inside the gaza strip have been reduced substantially, and this is a lot due to the heavy bombardment from the air from israeli forces and now the ground forces working inside the

gaza strip. but towns across israel and cities have been targeted by some sort of incoming, particularly in the last month when this attack began. but a lot of these of course are shot down by israel's iron dome system and other air defense systems as israeli ground forces search inside gaza city in the heart of gaza city as the idf says, for hamas militants both above and underground in the vast tunnel network underneath the gaza strip. but there is still suffering of civilians in gaza as the u.n. says 70% of people inside the gaza strip have been internally displaced. that's about 1.5 million people with nowhere really to go and very few places to hide, as israeli airstrikes continue, and the civilian population still struggles with these. take a listen to this man who says his family was affected by a strike. >> all my family inside. more than 27 people are inside.

i hear, a message to the whole world, we're civilians! we have nothing to do with what has happened to them. except, we are palestinians. >> reporter: now with the israeli ground offensive still thought to be in its early days, we'll have to wait and see it any diplomatic measures can help civilians and balancing it with israel's right to defend themselves and hunt for the people who were responsible for these attacks a month ago. it will be a long road, potentially, for both sides. phillip? >> powerful images and testimonials there, chapman, thank you. when a rocket is fired to israel every moment counts for those on the receiving end. some community only have 15 seconds to find shelter. to stay safe, israelis have used phone apps to alert them to incoming fire, and downloads have been surging with americans

as well with tens of,000 of ac thousands of phone alerts. despite a conservative super majority, the supreme court appears inclined to side with the biden administration in a case that will decide whether domestic abusers can own guns. the solicitor general said the current ban fits within a long tradition with disarming those deemed a threat to society. justice amy coney barrett seemed to agree saying the second amendment does allow for such restrictions. it stems from the prosecution of a gun owner who had a restraining order against him. another superfog has brought traffic to a stand still. these super fogs happen when smoke from nearby marsh fires mix with fog.

local officials are asking locals to alert them if another super fog forms. >> we were not alerted until we responded to the auto accident and crashes. we are asking for assistance from the public to call us so we can try to slow traffic down. >> last month seven people died and two dozen were injured in pileups involving more than 150 vehicles on i-55 near new orleans. those drivers are going to want to be careful again this morning. more fog alerts are in effect thor t for the gulf coast. angie hasma angie lassman is tracking weather. >> the low beams, taking it slow, those are going to be good things to do this morning on that drive. the alerts right now last from

the panhandle of florida to louisiana. we've got those difficult driving conditions with low visibility. you'll notice quarter of a mile visibility, up to 5 miles for mobile. we're starting to see some of that fog develop and last just until we start to see the sun coming up and we get the mixing going in the atmosphere. right thousanow we're expectingd highs in the south and the west. rain and snow focussed along the great lakes here as we get through the day today. and as we look to tomorrow, notice a big batch of rain starts to work into portions of the south. this will eventually get into the tennessee valley and mid atlantic which are by the way under a drought. were seein ag for montgomery

and 85 for orlando with mostly-sunny skies. and that's a look at your forecast, guys. back to you. >> okay, angie, thank you. america pptaed out. the reasons why credit cards could spell trouble for the economy. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season. you know that feeling of having to rewash dishes that didn't get clean? i don't. cascade platinum plus has me doing dishes... differently. scrub? soak? nope. i just scrape, load and i'm done. only platinum plus is bigger. with double the dawn grease fighting power and double the scrubbing power. for a no rewash clean... and a cabinet ready shine. rewash? not in my house. upgrade to cascade platinum plus. dare to dish differently.

newman's vision. >> being part of something bigger than yourself inspires people to work harder, spend more time at work and have fun doing it. >> reporter: think cappuccinos, connection and peing-pong. it grew fast around the world. but also long-term expensive leases. the board showed newman the door. then covid hit, decimating an already-floundering company. in the early days, the 6'5" israeli-american entrepreneur captured the attention of the media and wall street. did investors kind of fall under the spell of this charismatic, quirky founder? >> i think investors will look back and try to understand what happened here. the fundamentals and the business model never matched the vision. >> i say workspace. >> reporter: wework's rise and fall so dramatic it inspire add tv show. >> are you crazy enough? >> i may be. >> reporter: newman called the

bankruptcy disappointing and said it's been challenging to watch from the slooidelines. the company says for now its spaces will remain open as it works to restructure. kristine romans, nbc news, new york. whether you swipe, dip or tap, americans are charging it to the card more than ever. according to a new fed report, credit card balances hit a new record in the third quarter, topping a trillion dollars. so, how did we get here? cnbc's karen tso joins us to break down the numbers. >> good morning. yes, a combination of revenge spending, very high prices for goods and services and a consumer that is seemingly ignoring higher interest rates. a combination of the factors seems to be the reason why. americans have notched up a new record when it comes to swiping on the plastic, this according

to recent data from the federal reserve bank of new york. the pent-up covid savings have dw dwindled. more and more people are turning to credit cards. unfortunately, credit cards are one of the more expensive ways to borrow. balances spiked $151 billion year-over-year last year. this is the largest increase since 1999. so the recent data we have on the third quarter on gdp growth had a negative undercurrent for the strong consumer as credit card balances ramped up. more and more people are struggling to pay back those amounts, particularly those between 30 and 39 who also have student loans. >> man, they're giving them out on college campuses from what i can remember. part of the culture now. karen, thank you. ant still to come, the lateson eagerly-awaited video game
