welcome to "nbc news daily." so glad you could be with us today. i'm vicky nguyen. >> thanks for joining us this wednesday. i'm morgan radford. >> we're going to start our election coverage of donald trump's historic return to power. nbc news projects trump will be the 47th president of the united states, elected by a sweeping margin and capping off a stunning political comeback for the former president. trump scored a decisive victory in the electoral college after topping that magic 270 number. he also won in several key battleground states, breaking through that blue wall. as you can see here, he is projected to win both pennsylvania and wisconsin, two states he lost in 2020. nbc news also has him carrying north carolina and georgia. right now we are still waiting for calls in michigan, nevada and arizona. >> while we're waiting it looks like trump is on his way to winning the popular vote as well. that would make him the first republican to do so in decades.

overnight at his watch party the president-elect thanked his supporters and delivered a call for unity. >> we're going to help our country heal. we're going to help our country heal. it's time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. it's time to unite. >> the big question right now, what kind of congress will trump be working with? republicans are projected to retake control of the senate after flipping key seats in west virginia, montana and ohio. but the house is still up for grabs and it could be a while before we know which party will take the majority. we are covering this historic election from all angles. we have yamiche alcindor following the harris campaign ahead of the vice president's expected address to the nation later on today. but first let's head to nbc news correspondent dasha burns, who is in west palm beach, florida. dasha, give us some context on

the numbers and the reality of this morning. who put the former president back in office? who voted for him? >> reporter: well, look, the results that we have seen from these exit polls very much adhere to a concerted strategy from the trump campaign to expand the electorate. they felt like his base was rock solid and they did show up. and then they really zeroed in on the black vote, the latino vote and young men, and particularly the men in all of those demographics went out for donald trump. women. we talked about this gender gap, guys, and there was a gender gap. but what's interesting is harris won the majority of white educated women but when it came to women without college degrees they largely went for trump. overall one of the things i think we're going to be talking about a lot coming out of this is the changing among racial

lines. there's not as much of a racial divide in this election as there has been in past elections. but the education divide is pretty massive here. and the trump campaign's efforts throughout this entire election cycle that we've been following so closely, they were really laid bare in the results overnight. >> dasha, let's talk about the flex step for president-elect trump. this is not obviously his first time in the white house. what are his day one priorities and how much more effective could he be this time around in his second term? >> reporter: well, look, overnight he talked about how he feels he is coming into the white house now with a mandate to make some major changes across government given his margin of victory, given he will have the senate as well, the republican senate. that means confirmations are going to be easier. he gave a shout out to robert f. kennedy jr. last night, who is poised to play a big role in health. of course tech mogul elon musk poured tens of millions of his own money to help the former president. musk has talked about helping

slash government spending by potentially trillions. and the former president has talked time and time again about his priority when it comes to immigration, of closing the border and enacting mass deportations, pretty much as soon as he gets into office. because he has been in the white house before he now feels and his team talks about this all the time, that he has his footing, he's got his sea legs, he doesn't have that onboarding period that he had the first time. he's going to get in there and he feels like he knows what he wants to do, guys. >> all right. our thanks to dasha burns there on the ground. dasha, thank you. let's go now to nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor. yamiche, sources in the harris campaign say she will call president-elect trump to concede and that she is planning to deliver a speech later today. what do you think we will hear from her? what does she need to say to the american people and the millions of people who supported her? >> well, i can tell you in talking to harris aides they are preparing for her to speak at 4:00 p.m. at howard university,

of course that being her alma mater which she'd hoped to have a victory party which this is now going to be i aconcession speech. my understanding is these going to do what she hopes all presidential candidates would do if they lose, which is that she's going to say she lost this election, that she believes in american democracy, that she's going to be part of a peaceful transfer of power and that america and its voters have spoken. i've been talking to a number of harris officials and they tell me she is spending this morning and this afternoon working with her team on this concession speech. i was told that she didn't spend a lot of time working on a concession speech or a victory speech because she spent a lot of time, her team as well, on an uncertainty speech. they thought that the results would not come in this early, so they were preparing to tell americans to hold on, that they needed to make sure all the votes were counted. of course now she's going to be delivering a much different speech. >> a much different speech. we've seen the gears really shift in a dramatic fashion. and it's interesting because i

was specifically looking at north carolina, georgia like so many others. but harris underperformed in those crucial battleground states that president biden won back in 2020. what is the harris campaign's takeaway? >> the harris campaign's takeaway, and i should say i'm talking to people that are also close to the harris campaign, is that they just needed to do better and they didn't. you're putting it up for north carolina. you have trump plus .3. you look at georgia, trump up 2.3. pennsylvania trump p up 2.3. wisconsin trump p up .8. on all of these different numbers. we should let people take in those numbers for a moment. it really shows trump overperformed in all of these battleground states we're talking about. and the harris campaign and democrats are doing a lot of sort of soul searching this morning on what this really means. there is some feeling of whether or not she should have talked more about the economy, she should have maybe talked less about him being a democracy -- threat to democracy. i also talked to someone just a

few moments ago who said democrats really should have been more hands on deck here. some people wondering whether or not president joe biden should have dropped out earlier, not been even allowed by his party to run again. others saying maybe he should have been used more and been on the campaign trail talking to the base of voters he did perform well with in the past. thinking of older voters, union voters. a lot of questioning and a big autopsy being written here by democrats even now in these first few hours while they're still waiting for vice president harris to come out and concede. >> which really makes me think about that word that president-elect trump used last night, which was reconciliation and a re-alignment. the question is what does that re-alignment not only look like for the republican party but what does now that re-alignment look like for democrats in response? yamiche alcindor joining us from our washington, d.c. bureau. yamiche, thank you. >> president trump not the only winner last night. republicans successfully shifted the balance of power in the senate as well. the gop has flipped three seats so far, securing the majority

for the first time in four years. >> but the house control is still up for grabs. we may not know the final result for days or even weeks. in fact right now republicans have a net gain of three seats but there are still more than 40 races left to be called. nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is joining us here in studio in new york. kelly, first, it is great to see you. >> wonderful to be with you. >> thank you for the incredible work and reporting you have done this historic election cycle. let's start with the house because we understand the senate has gone to republican control. but which house races are still left to call? i know the majority are in california but there's still one here in new york. >> well, it's also one of those things where people are now reminded about how house races really are very local. they're about communities and issues that might not be part of the same national conversation. so you have races in california and in new york where they're going to take time to have to count every battle -- every ballot. there may be challenges. and ultimately the swing would need to be for democrats a net gain of four seats.

in this environment that seems even harder to accomplish given everything we've just seen in the last 12 hours about how republicans have done. for house republicans and their leadership they are talking right now about trying to have that broad all party control of both chambers of congress as well as the white house and what that could mean for the next trump presidency. democrats are still holding on in some places and believing that they can pick up here and there. but whatever it is, if democrats have that control they also then have some subpoena power, they have an opportunity to be a counter voice in the national conversation. we're going to need some time. people will have to be patient. that's not unusual. and the larger storyline of how successful former president, now president-elect trump was last night as well as senate republicans, we knew they were going to have advantages in the map based on which races were up. but for democrats they have lost a couple of their really

well-known long-time successful senators. jon tester in montana comes to mind. sherrod brown in ohio. this is not only kind of an earthquake on the national level from the presidential race but there's a lot that we'll need to set p on the congressional level too as we go forward. >> kelly, i think a question i have is you cover a lot of administrations, a lot of different configurations of power, but let's say it is just the senate and president controlled by the gop. these day one priorities, these mass deportations, the drilling for the oil, the war in ukraine and the peace treaty, what do you think the timeline looks like if the president has at least the senate? are these things that can happen much quicker? >> well, they are using the word mandate, and that has a specific meaning in this context. when you have an overwhelming vote of the people that you are supposed to be able to then exert that power. and that means even people of the other party are supposed to go along. not capitulate but to be giving the president the opportunity to

put that mandate forward. and so on the senate side it will depend on how controversial the issues are. there's always more room for bipartisanship there. they don't have the 60 votes yet. and that makes a difference. and on the house side they hold the purse strings. and so things like how would you fund mass deportations, that's a real question that needs to be dealt with. and certainly they'll have plans to try to do that but then it will come down to the numbers game of the house. so it is not just a free pass. but there's certainly great advantage for president-elect trump. >> what i love about having kelly on set with us is this wealth of knowledge to tell us as you said, there were elements of this is th that is normal. so as people are processing the earthquake the context of what is legal and congressional protocol i think is important to ground ourselves in in this moment. >> really helpful. thank you, kelly o'donnell. good to see you as always. thank you. well, during the campaign vice president harris put a lot of focus on women's reproductive rights while president-elect donald trump made a big bet on young male voters who'd never

cast a ballot before. >> that gamble really paid off. nbc news correspondent sam brock has more on the gender gap that drove trump to election victory. >> reporter: president trump's campaign celebrating a major strategic victory. >> this will forever be remembered as the day the american people regained control of their country. >> reporter: the former president's outreach of male voters seemingly paying off. in 2020 and 2016 about 4 in 10 men under 30 supported him. yesterday nearly half cast a ballot for trump. among men who turned out for the first time 62% supporting trump while 36% supported harris. the trump campaign has taken an unconventional approach including appearances with unconventional media figures popular with male voters. trump even saying he consulted his son barron for advice. >> he tells me about all the hot guys, people i never heard about. >> reporter: and a key late campaign appearance on top

podcaster joe rogan's show. >> i'm doing very -- you know, really well in the polls. this week i happen to believe in numbers. i only believe them if they're good. no. i like them this month. >> reporter: rogan later endorsing trump. democrats pushing for support from women who went for harris by 54% according to exit polls but still not enough to carry her to the finish line. the trump campaign also bringing on prominent supporters who leaned into that gender divide. >> dad gets home, you know what he says? you've been a bad girl. you've been a bad little girl and you're getting a vigorous spanking. >> reporter: part of trump's outreach, one of his biggest boosters, elon musk. >> he's a character, he's a special guy, he's a super genius. we have to protect our geniuses. >> interpreter: who contributed tens of millions of dollars in an effort to get trump back to the white house. musk focusing on a get out the vote push, appearing by trump's side on the campaign trail. >> this is no ordinary election. the other side wants to take

away your freedom of speech. >> reporter: and a controversial plan, offering $1 million checks to registered voters who were willing to sign a petition supporting the first and second amendments. but musk now part of the inner circle, spending election night at mar-a-lago with trump. the trump campaign telling nbc news that trump wants musk to lead a commission on government efficiency as he celebrates. trump may be bringing the world's richest man to the white house. >> oh, let me tell you, we have a new star. a star is born. elon. >> reporter: sam brock, nbc news. another group that helped trump win young voters and more specifically those white male voters we're talking about. >> yeah, our exit polls show that trump improved his margins with the group this year compared to the 2020 election. nbc news now anchor savannah sellers joins us now. this was really interesting because trump really doubled down on courting this young white male vote. and frankly it worked. what was different about his

messaging to this group that sunk in this time compared to 2020? >> it's such a good question because it was exactly what he was focused on for the last couple of weeks. even to the point where we were talking about, well, it doesn't even seem like he's really trying to make gains with women as we saw them breaking for harris at such great numbers. he decided to double down on this. the podcast strategy, i can't overstate how important that was for reaching this demographic. like joe rogan, like logan paul, like busing with the boys. sports podcasts. >> dave portnoy. >> exactly. and he actually had his son barron trump, a first-time voter himself, a college student right now, almost acting like his unofficial podcast adviser saying dad, i think you should go on this podcast, this is what my friends are listening to. and it reached those exact voters. our friend, our colleague gadi schwartz, he was in arizona last night. he was talking with all these voters in line at asu. so many of them said to him, well, i voted for him because i heard him on joe rogan. and if harris would have gone on maybe i would have considered her because we know she decided not to go on that particular

podcast. the certain ways he was playing to them also manifested itself in fraternity guys talking a lot about this. we also heard last night a few people saying i don't look at the polls, i look at the odds. young men in these betting rooms. that type of demographic really resonated with the message and the fact that they were being specifically reached out to. >> you've been on a lot of college campuses in different states, savannah. what were you seeing toward the end as we got closer and closer to election day? what were the things these young voters and the young male voters were saying to you mattered to them? >> the activation on college campuses was intense. i was in michigan p i was in wisconsin. i was on the phone with people in north carolina. north carolina it was actually young democrats working hand in hand with the harris campaign that lobbied the state for more polling locations on campus. they made it so student i.d. could be an acceptable form of identification on a lot of those campuses. but they were also doing a pretty bipartisan get out the vote effort. they were handing out something called commit to vote cards when you put your info there they would send you a google calendar

invite with your nearest polling location and times that you should show up there. so they were really informing young people where they should vote. >> in a non-partisan way. >> in a non-partisan way. if you signed up on one of those cards they were going to give it to you. if you had a physical card on the back of it was i apicture of harris and walz. but if you signed up online the qr code you wouldn't necessarily knowing that. and they wanted anybody of any party to make sure they get out the vote. what i heard from young men the most was far and away the economy which continued to track last night as the top issue among young men for sure. for young women, by the way, it was abortion which was also a motivating issue but that margin just didn't close. young men cam out on these issues that mattered to them. >> all right. and it did pay off. savannah sellers, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks, savannah. let's turn now to our cnbc money minute. wall street is rallying today record highs the morning after the election. the dow is currently up by more than 1300 points. >> cnbc tech check anchor deirdre bosa joins us now.

let's talk walk through these numbers. why the markets are loving this trump presidency. >> hey, vicky and morgan. the last time the dow rallied more than 1,000 points in a single day, that was back in november of 2022. stocks that could stand to benefit from donald trump's presidency are rallying. shares of tesla whose ceo elon musk is a major backer of trump surging 14% today while banking stocks just as jpmorganchase and bank of america are up at least 6%. meanwhile, the price of bitcoin jumped above $75,000 in early trading today smashing its previous record set in march. the world's second most popular currency, ether, that surged 8%. trump embraced crypto ahead of the election, pledging to make u.s. the crypto capital of the world and to create a bitcoin reserve. and finally, nvidia. it's now the world's most valuable company, passing apple for the second time. the chipmaker closed tuesday to a $3.43 trillion market cap ahead of apple's $3.4 trillion. nvidia is the dominant supplier of gpus, which power ai software

such as openai's chatgpt. that stock up more than 200% this year alone. guys, back to you. >> deirdre, remind us what nvidia makes. >> what does nvidia make? gpus. so these are chips for semiconductors that are essentially -- basically, in the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. so the reason that chatgpt and many of these chatbots today exist is they need enormous compute power and nvidia really dominates this market. they make the chips that make that possible. >> got it. >> deirdre bosa, thanks so much, deirdre, we appreciate it. and stay right here. you are watching "nbc news daily."

pamela price, who has an office behind me here in the east county hall of justice in dublin. they said that she will be releasing a statement sometime today. no press conference, a statement. don't know when that will be coming out, but here are the latest numbers. according to the associated press, with 39% of the vote being reported, voters here in alameda county are recommending her recall from office by a margin of 65 to 35%. this is how voters reacted last night to the first batch of results. you can see and hear the group save alameda for everyone expressing their excitement last night over the early returns, showing that the yes on the recall had a sizable lead. you know, we want to thank all of the citizens of alameda county as a whole that understood what we were talking about, that understood that people were being hurt and they went out and they voted. and

it's not done. but we see victory, and we are so glad that we have made the step to making alameda county a safer place for everybody. if these results hold and the da is recalled, county supervisors will select an interim district attorney to serve until the next scheduled election in 2026. and there are the latest numbers on the screen right there. and the recall effort of oakland mayor sheng thao, with 36% of precincts reporting, the mayor is losing by 65% of voters wanting her out, compared to 35% who want her to stay. last night, the mayor did speak with nbc bay area's velena jones. the mayor says in spite of those early results, she's optimistic she can keep her job. i absolutely do believe that my administration has done what we can receiving and inheriting all of these issues, right. let's be reminded that under the previous administration, we lost the

warriors. we lost the raiders. you know, when i came in, the a's were already out. you know, leaving the city of oakland. there wasn't much that i could have done about that. but at the end of the day, i don't know. and i can't remember the last time we had zero homicides in the city of oakland. and so i'm really proud of the work that we are doing. we know that it works again, i've been in office for less than two years and we are already turning the city around. supporters for mayor chao have called the efforts to recall her undemocratic, and they argue big money interests are funding the efforts. those in favor of the recall blame mayor thao for higher crime rates in oakland. businesses leaving and the fire are former former police chief leronne armstrong. they also hold a responsible for a huge budget deficit that could lead to cuts to public safety. reporting live outside the east county hall of justice here in dublin, bob redell nbc, bay area news. thanks for the latest. there, bob. voters across california deciding on ten propositions on this year's ballot. perhaps the most

12:30 in bloomfield, west virginia and right here in new york city. i'm morgan radford. >> i'm vicky nguyen, glad you're with us. here's what's making news right now. forecasters keeping a close eye on hurricane rafael. the category 2 storm is inching closer to cuba at this hour. the island is preparing for damaging winds, flash flooding and life-threatening storm surges. rafael is expected to weaken once it hits the gulf of mexico but parts of the florida keys are currently under tropical storm warnings. the election paved the way for historic wins among members of the lgbtq plus community and women of color. first sarah mcbride won delaware's at large congressional seat to become the first openly transgender member of congress. and two black women will serve together in the senate for the very first time. maryland elected angela alsobrooks while delaware elected lisa blunt rochester. both are democrats. international leaders are weighing in on donald trump's historic election victory. french president emmanuel macron post on x that france is, quote,

ready to work together while nato's secretary-general wrote that trump's leadership will, quote, again be key to keeping our alliance strong. victories in four pivotal swing states helped propel donald trump to president-elect. a projected victory in wisconsin gave him the final 10 electoral votes that he needed to push ahead of vice president kamala harris. >> even before that he carried north carolina, georgia and pennsylvania. so how much of an impact did these key states have on this election and where did the harris campaign lose traction? nbc news senior business correspondent christine romans is here to break down how it all happened. so christine, democrats wanted to win those blue wall states, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, but did they underestimate how much the economy would matter to voters in these swing states? and how did trump connect in a way that harris really just didn't? >> yeah, our exit polling showed that the economy was really dragging on voters' psyche heading into here.

and you're absolutely right. he flipped georgia. he kept north carolina. and then you get to pennsylvania and by the time you get to pennsylvania -- oh, sorry, there you get to pennsylvania and she could not hold on to what she had last time and he -- what biden had last time and he actually built on it. when we look back at -- get that pennsylvania up there for you. still not coming up. sorry. >> that's all right. >> anyway, pennsylvania was really one of those things that showed she couldn't really build. in fact, he was building on momentum and she was not holding joe biden's ground. >> christine, it's interesting because we've been talking so much about these swing states and while the swing states did of course push trump over the top democrats lost ground in some really strongholds. we're talking new york, new jersey, virginia, illinois, some really surprising places. what happened? >> again, these are blue states. one after another. you've got a blue state here, you've got new york, you've got new jersey. these are places where she was

expected to win in these states and she did. but she did by less of a margin than joe bide dehn and donald trump managed to build on not only 2016 but also 2020 levels here for how he performed. the build and hold strategy on all of these states, she won so many of these blue states but she didn't win them by as much as joe biden did and that was the early indication on the night that things were not going to go well for her. >> all those margins added up. >> christine romans for us here. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> three days before the election trump told supporters at a rally in north carolina that suburban women are under attack. >> many critics accused him of stoking fears by playing up the migrant crisis. but last night we saw i amajority of white suburban women cast their ballot for the republican candidate. nbc news correspondent dasha burns is back with us from west palm beach, florida. dasha, i want to break down the numbers because a lot of times -- you know, today we've been talking about women who went for trump. but it broke down according to

racial lines. white women in overwhelming numbers voted for trump. black women i believe our exit poll showed 92% voted for harris. so break down what we saw and why this gender gap and racial gap within the gender gap was significant. >> specifically white women, morgan, that's where you saw a bit of a split. and harris won with white women with college degrees. but it was white women without college degrees that largely gravitated toward former president and now future president donald trump. and his message to women which frankly he really catered to men a lot more than he did to women but his message to women was largely about safety, was about the economy, and about immigration. and for those women without college degrees, that's where those esoteric issues about democracy, for example, just aren't as tangible, aren't as pressing as putting groceries on the table, as feeling like they and their kids can go outside.

those are the kinds of things that resonated. again, it's that education gap that i think we need to be talking about too, morgan. >> you know, dasha, trump ran up his margins among minority voters. our own exit polling at nbc news showed one in three people of color voted for trump. how did the election overall play out along racial lines? >> reporter: well, look, the former president took his message of a broken nation to places and people that republicans rarely reach. i'm talking about campaigning in states like new york, like virginia, like illinois, like new jersey. that's not where you typically see a republican candidate stump. but he went there and he did very specifically reach out to black voters, latino voters, and young men. and that made a huge difference in this election, guys. >> that outreach counted for him. dasha burns, thank you very much. >> let's talk now about abortion rights. that was front and center, we

understood as an issue for many voters. in fact, abortion rights were on the ballot in ten states in this election in the first presidential race since roe v. wade was overturned two years ago. vice president kamala harris made reproductive rights a central issue in her campaign, and democrats were hoping that that very issue would get voters to the polls. >> but last night exit polls show people prioritized other issues like the state of democracy and the economy over abortion. nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell is back with us now. kelly, polling showed abortion and reproductive rights were this issue that energized voters this election, and trump at one point softened his stance saying he was not going to be in favor of a federal ban on abortion. now that he's in office what does this mean for women's health? >> well, it's a big question and it was clearly a motivating issue but what we didn't have a good measure of is where it fell in the priorities. and for some women it was the number one issue. but broadly we see how it has played out. now, certainly democrats and kamala harris thought it would be enough to carry her.

the distinction with the states that put it on the ballot allowed voters to separate top of the ticket, candidate choice and dealing with the right they wanted to affirm or reject. and we saw in ten states this was on the ballot. three did not go forward with it. seven did. and it's either in a case of looking at different states where they already had legal abortion or they would enshine it so it could not be subject to the whims of the next state legislature and that kind of thing. in the places where it didn't, florida is one of those examples, it required a 60% threshold. it came just short of that. so there was a clear majority wanting this but not enough. i think one of the big issues will certainly be are will donald trump adhere to what he said, he wanted only dealt with at the state level. there will be a push certainly from some republicans to at least introduce a national ban. >> it's so interesting you brought up florida because you mentioned coming beneath that

60% threshold at 57% floridians said we do vote for having abortion rights enshrined. but it was a state that went for donald trump. they were not comfortable with the consequences of his administration, what his administration would call for. which states ultimately passed abortion measures, kelly? >> blue states you would expect. you see it in colorado, you see it in maryland and so forth. and what is so striking about that is some of it is also having to deal with maybe the issue and then looking at the specifics. at what period of time in a pregnancy would voters support these kinds of changes? that can be very complicated. and people who may even want these rights to be reinstated might have differences about how long into a pregnancy there could be abortion services. a lot of it is detail by detail. we saw that in florida and south dakota it was an absolute rejection. >> kelly o'donnell, as always, thank you so much. we porsche it. >> thank you, kelly. as we were mentioning, the

economy a key issue in this election. nbc news exit polling shows nearly 70% of voters feel the economy is not so good or poor. >> but wall street is riding high today after trump's win. the dow, s&p 500 and the tech-heavy nasdaq all hitting record highs. editor in chief of investopedia caleb sylvester joins us now. caleb, the big question, why is wall street so seemingly optimistic? >> we have a resolution. it's not carried out for a few days. knowing the future is always a positive for investors who don't like to not know what's coming next. but also trump has been talking about extending those tax cuts from the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act. that means lower taxes for corporations. that right now is at 21%. he's talking about 15% for some companies that he probably curries favor with. but also broader deregulation in government. that's going to be a big deal. but also making it easier for companies to do deals. you see the banking sector really rallying hard today. he's talking about bringing the federal reserve and other parts

of fiscal policy under the executive branch. that could be a lot of control for president trump and that could be good news for a lot of these sectors. that's where the enthusiasm is. >> that makes a lot of sense. there's also the stock market index, caleb, that tracks these smaller companies. are they basically on this train of less regulation, easier to do deals? >> that's the russell 2000. they aren't so small. 2 billion to about 12 billion. but they are benefiting and they will benefit from lower interest rates. and if he's really serious about putting the federal reserve under the executive branch, and i don't know if that's possible but you never know, then that could mean lower rates for a long time. less regulation, easier to attract money for these small businesses. it's the tariffs part that everybody has questions about because tariffs are not good for any business. >> nor are they good for consumers. tariffs end up costing consumers more. >> lower taxes, higher tariffs. >> caleb silver with invest o'piedia. thank you so much, caleb. >> thanks, caleb. straight ahead campaign promises that now could become a reality. we will take a look at what president-elect donald trump has promised for his first 100 days

whether it is telling people get this accomplished or that accomplished. now, that can create a chaotic environment. it can also cut through some of the bureaucracy. there are certainly supporters of his who believe that would be effective. and expect things like the tax cuts that he had in term one, they do have a sunset period. looking for that to be extended. looking for ways to try to address the border, which will take resources from congress to do it. building the wall, mass deportations, those kinds of things. between now and january 20th some of the biggest challenges will be just assembling the team, who will be around him, and then that will give us some more tea leaves about where he's going and what his priorities will be. he has said it plainly, the variety of things he wants to accomplish, and then they'll need to prioritize what can they get done quickly and what can they move through congress? he certainly has partners in congress. >> he will need team members, he will be adding people to his cabinet. are there any people on a short list that you're looking at that

have risen up that seem to be likely to be on that list to carry out this agenda? >> they come from a few different buckets, if you will. if you look at allies who are in elective office themselves, senators, for example, there's talk of tom cotton of arkansas, who is a veteran, who could be department of defense perhaps. marco rubio, his fo fellow floridian who has long served on the foreign relations committee in the senate for secretary of state. those are names. mike lee of utah for attorney general. again, just names among many. and then you look at some of his allies like during the first term he built a relationship with a man named tom homan on border issues. he might be homeland security pl we'll have to see. >> kelly o'donnell as always thank you so much we really appreciate all your perspeive appreciate all your perspeive toct da advil liqui-gels are faster and stronger than tylenol rapid release gels. ♪♪ also from advil, advil targeted relief, the only topical with 4 powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact and lasts up to 8 hours.
