tv Today NBC November 6, 2024 8:00am-9:00am PST
8:01 am
special edition of "today: decision '24." >> welcome back. it's 11:00 a.m. on the east coast and 8:00 a.m. in the west. if you are just waking up, a long night stretching into the morning. >> the bottom line, donald trump once again the president-elect of the united states. >> it was wisconsin that put him over the line, and trump also right now leading in the popular vote. we are covering every aspect of the race as well as the fight for the control of congress. let us begin with nbc's dasha burns.
8:02 am
>> it was a campaign anything but conventional, and donald trump taking his message to a nation, and the strategy was really to try and expand the electorate. they zeroed in on black and latino voters and young men and now the data shows that is likely what helped him win in rural areas and run up his margins in urban areas and have what is now likely his most successful and third run for president. so far he's claimed the battlegrounds that we have called. we are still waiting on arizona, nevada and michigan, but he could be on track, guys, to break that blue wall and go into the white house with what he described last night as a mandate to make major changes across government from foreign policy to health care. last night shouting out robert
8:03 am
f. kennedy jr. who is poised to play a big role in public health. also calling out and calling elon musk, the tech mobile, a star, saying a star in born. musk poured millions of his own dollars into helping the former president win. now the transition period begins. the trump campaign has a team in place already working on that and that work now gets super charged as the president-elect starts to dig in. guys? >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. meanwhile vice president harris canceled her speech at an election night party, and we have breaking news on timing with regard to that. nbc's monica alba is standing by at the white house. monica, hearing now from the vice president's team that she's going to speak at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon at her alma mater howard in northwest d.c. any idea what we can expect to hear from her? >> that is the plan, craig, the vice president will address her
8:04 am
supporters and address the nation, of course, after not arriving to howard university overnight. that appearance was supposed to be a sentimental and meaningful one given it is her alma mater, and instead she will be back there later today to talk about the election results. i am told she's crafting her speech right now. she's at the navel observatory which is her residence in washington, d.c. and she will accept these results. she is also expected to call president-elect trump and formerly concede the race a short time from now. that's something that said her team said she will do and not only she will be doing and we expect that president biden will be doing as well, but he will call president-elect trump to congratulate him. he will, in a sense, do all the things donald trump did not do for him when joe biden won the white house in 2020. he will make that outreach
8:05 am
today. he will invite him to washington. he will also plan to attend his inauguration in january. that's something the white house has said. i have to tell you, craig, overall this was such a stinging defeat for the vice president and for democrats. last night the mood started to shift pretty intensely. it became a very dower situation, and today it will be notable to hear from the vice president and president about their message to the country and urge all americans at this moment to accept the results. hoda. >> monica, thank you. let's go back to the big board and national correspondent, steve kornacki. we still have a couple states outstanding. 276, and trump already over the top and the numbers could go up. >> the question is how high will they land. most immediately, it's michigan where just about all the votes are in, and the lead is 90,000, and we are trying to get clarity
8:06 am
on how much is left. it does not look like there are that many votes left, would have to win all to overcome a gap like this. you might see where this is going but not officially there yet. in nevada, 93% of the vote. one thing to keep in mind, vote by mail ballots can still come in there today and for a few more days out there, and so it's a good position for trump to be in when you compare it to past republicans. there could be more clarity needed there. same case for arizona. again, trump ahead so far, and there is still reporting for days there. >> we saw reports of long, long lines and waiting all over the place. how was turnout and who did it help? >> it was very good. we can take you through some of the battleground states we talk so much about. this turnout here is just over what they got in 2020.
8:07 am
remember, 2020 was the record-shattering election turnout, and in georgia it went over, and north carolina went over not by much where it was. in pennsylvania, it's not yet over but it's getting close. in michigan, not yet over but getting close. in wisconsin, it's over. the only issue is outside of the battleground states where they didn't have all the advertising and all the candidates, some of the other states it's not necessarily keeping pace. what you see overall nationally is about 140 million votes that we have now counted up, and third-party candidates that get a couple million votes here. 158 million was the turnout in 2020. it will take them weeks in california and millions of votes there, and i don't know if it will get to 158, but looks close. >> so many divides among people. there's the gender divides and age divides and also class. how did class play into this? >> the changing coalitions much both parties, and i don't think any state does it better than
8:08 am
wisconsin, and look at all the red on the map. so many are blue-collar counties, and trump wins and these are landslide margins, and just to get in some perspective here, not that long ago, and you only have to go back to when obama was the candidate, 2008, and an eye test here, and show you the map and look at all that red, and here is obama, look at all that blue. not that long ago democrats were competitive in rural blue areas, and now they are getting blownout and what that means for democrats in a state like wisconsin and others, if they are going to have a chance they rely on the suburbs and cities. dane county, where the university of wisconsin is, that's the biggest one for democrats. the city of milwaukee. a couple other pockets that have -- lacrosse, wisconsin, they have universities or college towns, and that's where democrats rely on to offset the
8:09 am
massive losses everywhere else. >> and we have been down the road before, eight years ago. donald trump set an ambitious agenda for his first 100 days in office after winning in 2016. what will his first 100 days look like this time around. here's nbc's white house correspondent, kelly o'donnell. >> rare in american politics, a presidential sequel. >> we're going to turn it around. i am asking you, dream big, the american dream, dream big and we are bringing this back. this will be america's new golden age. >> heading back to the white house, mr. trump plans to take swift and sweeping action to close the southern border and to deport millions of migrants here illegally. >> we will stop the people from pouring into the country and get the criminals out of the country.
8:10 am
>> he seized on fears about crime and vowed to take tough action. >> we will crush violent crime and give the police their resources and respect they so deserve. >> his broadest pitch is he could lower prices and boost the economy. he said he would increase energy production to reduce consumer's day-to-day costs. >> your energy costs and grocery prices will come tumbling down and we will bring back the american dream, bigger, better and stronger than ever before. >> the centerpiece of his economic agenda is imposing tariffs to make the u.s. more competitive, but those taxes on imported goods are often passed on to consumers. >> the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff. >> trump 2.0 is still expected to be a controversial figure,
8:11 am
and elon musk on cost cutting and kennedy jr. -- >> robert f. kennedy jr., rfk jr., he will help us on health and the health of women, men and children. >> another trump term means an america first approach to foreign policy. >> i will not send you to fight and die in a foolish never-ending foreign war. >> mr. trump who favors strong men accounts his relationship with putin. >> i said vladimir, don't go in. >> he has yet to say ukraine should win that war and maintain its sovereignty and territory. >> his tough-guy rhetoric and persona drove a gender grab with more men supporting him and his political brand fortified by grievances. with a return to power, he said
8:12 am
he would fire the special prosecutor, jack smith, putting a stop to the felony indictments against him related to january 6th and classified documents. >> these are lunatics, by the way. they weaponized the justice department against their political opponent. >> a trump second term will also be a chance to build his brand. >> it will be the greatest movement, i think, in the history of the world, okay. >> kelly o'donnell there, senior white house correspondent. >> that was a great piece. on a day like today it's important to put things into perspective, and that's why we are so happy to do this now with historian jon meacham. john, good morning. it's good to see you. half of the country woke up this morning joyful and alaided, and half woke up despondent. if you were to right a book, what would you call it?
8:13 am
>> this is the age of trump. it's like the age of roosevelt and the age of jackson, and it's unquestionable that he is the dominant political force of the last decade. what i would say to the 49% or so of folks who woke up expecting -- thinking that this is a dark day, this is now a test. it's now a test of citizenship. you cannot be for democracy only when you win. a lot of us who have preached this sermon about the importance of constitutional mechanisms and a democratic lower case d ethose, we have to practice that. to the 51% that woke up pleased that their vote had prevailed, i
8:14 am
would say this. a lot of folks -- we have talked about it and i have consistently made the case that i worry that president trump, the former and future president trump represents, by his actions and his words, a threat to the constitutional order that we are accustomed to. the test now is to prove us wrong, and i say what i am about to say very advisedly, i pray i have been wrong. the only way to find out is to watch what unfolds and hope that what president trump has said on the campaign trail and what he tried to do at the end of the 2020 elections, that those are the exceptions and not the rule. the jury is out on that. >> professor meacham, i read
8:15 am
everything you write and you wrote something out on election day and there was an op-ed in the times, and you wrote in part, no similar figure in american history ever had such a strong grip on so many, a second trump presidency is an open invitation to chaos. sounds like you still very much feel that way this morning. is that a fair assessment? >> it absolutely is, craig. i think that where we find ourselves -- i don't think this is a particularly radical thing to say. people who voted for donald trump are apparently comfortable with the threat of chaos, and that may be fine. again, their vote counts as much or in some states more than mine. this is not a -- an attempt to undermine the decision that so many people made.
8:16 am
what it is is coming from somebody who is not a partisan. i am not a democrat or a republican and i have voted for presidents of both parties, so this is just coming from spending a lot of time thinking about dead people, which is what i do for a living. they like me more than living people, which is good. so what -- what comes out of that study, what comes out of that work, now after several decades of it, is the sense that the system matters and the system has not proven to be commensurate to, it has not proven to be up to apparently meeting the challenges that so many people defined for politics. that's why president trump is now the future president trump again, is that people don't think that democracy has
8:17 am
delivered for them, so they want somebody else in charge of it to see if it can deliver. that is exactly what america is supposed to do. we are supposed to debate, dissent, despite and then adjudicate whether we want to continue on a certain course. that's what america did yesterday. it's what america tried to do in 2020 but president trump tried to interrupt that. my prayer, again, is that was an exception and not the rule. i am not -- and i don't think it's an unreasonable concern that president trump
8:18 am
thrives less on order than on chaos, and i think that's what we have to watch. >> jon meacham, thank you for sharing with us this morning. i appreciate it. >> thank you, jon. whether your candidate wins or loses, i always find that jon meacham makes you feel better. >> i like how he says he feels more comfortable around dead people. all right. we are following another major story this morning, not just politics. there's a hurricane threat, another hurricane threat for the gulf coast and al is tracking that storm. good morning to you, sir. >> actually, we are going to start out west where we have red flag warnings and high wind warnings and wind advisories. 53 million people people with a s santa ana wind event.

good morning. it is 826. i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. we are moving you forward with a look at your top local headlines, including two of the closest watch bay area races, each focusing on recall efforts in the east bay. in the race to recall, alameda county district attorney pamela price. she's now facing an uphill battle to keep her job. the number of yes votes, nearly twice the number of no's, with plenty of ballots still left to count. likewise, oakland mayor sheng thao losing her recall battle. the yes votes in this race all leading by a wide margin. but there are still plenty of votes also left to be counted. we're tracking so many other local races to get updates on the races that matter to you. you can head to our website, nbcbayarea.com or download our free nbc bay area app. it's available for all smartphones. you can find it at your app store. let's take a look. outside across the bay area this morning. we do have an increased fire risk due to some of the

8:32 am
>> we are getting new reaction to the results from leaders all over the word including prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we are going to talk to nbc chief correspondent, andrea mitchell in a moment, but raf sanchez joins us now. what are we hearing from the prime minister? >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu thrilled with the result and far-right members of his government made it no secret they were hoping trump would win and now that he has, they are hoping it will lead to a hawkish position on iran and they are also acutely aware that trump the middle east. and one israeli official told me today they think it's possible netanyahu will try to sign a ceasefire deal early in the new president's next term, trying to hand trump a quick diplomatic victory. the israeli government also concerns that the biden administration, in its final days in office, could
8:33 am
potentially step up pressure on israel over gaza. the white house has given israel until next week to allow more aid into the strip, or face a potential cutoff in military support. the white house, the state department is saying so far that israel is failing to meet that deadline and israel's enemies hamas, hezbollah, iran also very closely following this result. iran has said it is planning to strike back against israel potentially in the coming days, but that decision may be more complicated now that they know trump is heading back to the white house. and just finally, the political scene here in israel is very tense right now. last night, while all eyes were on the voting in the u.s, netanyahu fired his defense minister, a man he has clashed with publicly who has called for a ceasefire in gaza. that led to major protests on the streets of
8:34 am
tel aviv. demonstrators calling for a deal to finally bring those hostages home. so the middle east very much in flux right now as the main players try to figure out what this historic american election means for them. craig. okay. ralph sanchez there on the ground for us in israel. ralph. thank you. joining us now, nbc's chief washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell. let's start there in gaza. benjamin netanyahu seems pleased with the results of the u.s. election. what would that mean for the war in gaza? well, there is, in fact, a lot of reporting that netanyahu was holding out for a trump election, holding back on a cease fire. and he met with netanyahu at mar a lago and publicly said, go all in on the war, finish them off. so there's no there are no holds barred, no threat to, you know, hold back u.s. weapons as is required under u.s. law and fully embracing also going all in against iran. the other hotspot of course, ukraine right now.
8:35 am
andrew mitchell what what do we surmise could happen there with a second trump administration with regard to the war between russia? donald trump invasion of ukraine by russia. exactly. donald trump has said he could solve it in one day in 24 hours. he has embraced vladimir putin, not denied reports, credible reports. bob woodward and others that he has talked to putin many times since leaving the oval office. and he has said that zelenskyy should be negotiating. so there will be pressure on zelenskyy to negotiate now, which means giving up territory. it was donald trump who pressured senate republicans to withhold weapons from ukraine at a pivotal time in the war. last winter. we are hearing that those in europe were upset with the results. others, including the uae, saudi arabia, kind of embracing the results. what are you hearing? well, he's embraced people like hungary's viktor orban, dictators like putin. so nato very concerned, european allies very concerned. they'll probably reach out economically to china to balance the effect
8:36 am
of what they perceive to be a weakened, oversees posture by the united states, nato. what do we think all of this could mean for it threaten to get out of nato? he didn't get out of nato, but he certainly is not going to embrace u.s. allies and certainly not u.s. intelligence. he tried to fire career intelligence people. he did fire many intelligence agency officials. he undercut them, tried to put his own people in. now he knows he can do it. all right. andrea mitchell. we're happy you're here at the table. good to see you, andrea. thank you. always great. as we break down and analyze the outcome of this race, one thing is certain. a lot, a lot of soul searching is unfolding. a lot of blame already being passed around among democrats. nbc's monica alba is back with that part of the story. the finger pointing has already started in earnest, especially on social media. monica. absolutely. craig. and listen, going into election night, the harris campaign thought that they had multiple paths to 270. but as her road to
8:37 am
the presidency vanished quite quickly overnight, many democrats started questioning where it all went wrong and what it means for the future of the party. with kamala harris's defeat a stunning blow for democrats. i'm just devastated. a somber mood at harris's watch party overnight after donald trump dominated, blowing through the so-called blue wall of midwest states. democrats had counted on improving on his 2020 margins in over 2000 counties nationwide. in the key swing state of pennsylvania. harris, underperforming president biden's results and further down the ballot, republicans also flipped the senate to their side. america has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. now for democrats, the soul searching begins after an unprecedented race, with harris stepping in as the presidential candidate. just 108 days ago,
8:38 am
when president biden withdrew. harris, trying to distance herself from ago with president biden withdrew. harris tried to distance herself from biden. >> this is about what democrats did while in office over the last four years, inflation, which was so high during much of this administration, and many people are still feeling the pain of that. >> exit polls showing voters listed the economy as a major issue. harris, also underperforming in key areas. >> where she's coming up short are in the cities. >> even struggling in blue strongholds like new york and virginia despite a massive campaign blitz from major democratic stars. harris also coming up short with key minority groups. according to exit polls, latino men favoring trump by a ten-point margin after backing president biden by 23 points four years ago. democrats now facing an uphill battle. >> and we know it is time for a
8:39 am
new generation of leadership in america. >> with harris' message clearly not resonating with enough voters, leaving democrats to sort out how to turn the page now. vice president harris will address some of that in remarks to the nation and her supporters later today at aur alma mater, howard university in d.c. where she was supposed to speak last night and it was supposed to be a homecoming for her, and now will be known as the site of her concession speech. >> we will hear from vice president harris at some point, and do we expect to hear from president biden about the election results at some point today as well? >> that's the plan, craig. he is expected to address americans from the white house at some point later today, and he is also expected to call president elect donald trump and congratulate him, and we know
8:40 am
vice president harris also plans to do. this is meant to signal from vice president that he wants to operate in a manner which is not what we saw in 2020 when he won and donald trump lost and that's why you will see the president call him and invite him to washington and ultimately, according to the white house, president biden says he plans to attend donald trump's inauguration in january. >> a peaceful transfer of power. monica alba for us there at the white house. monica, thank you. sthao just ahead, an unprecedented race and historic outcome and a look at how we got to this moment coming up right after this. erbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast.
