welcome to "nbc news daily." i'm morgan radford. >> i'm vicky nguyen. we're glad you're with us today. we start right now with donald trump's decisive win in the presidential election and what all of this means for the future of america. nbc news projects trump will be the 47th president of the united states thanks in large part to the red wave that swept across several key battleground states. nbc news has him carrying pennsylvania, wisconsin, north carolina and georgia but as of this hour we are still waiting for calls in michigan, nevada and arizona. >> sources tell nbc news vice president harris is expected to call trump at some point today to concede the race. the white house has also confirmed that she is set to address the nation later this afternoon around 4:00 p.m. meantime, on capitol hill republicans have taken back control of the senate after flipping seats in west virginia, montana and ohio. but the house remains up for
10:02 am
grabs right now. it could be days or even weeks before we know if the gop will also control the house when president-elect trump comes back into the white house. we are covering the election results from all angles. nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor has the latest on harris as she prepares to speak to the nation just a few hours from now. but first we want to head to nbc news correspondent dasha burns, who's standing by in west palm beach, florida. dasha, good to see you. trump is the first president in more than a century to reclaim the white house after losing it. talk about how he did it, who were the key voting blocs that turned out and put him over the top. >> well, look, the former president, vicky, reached out to people and to places where republicans rarely go. he campaigned in major metro areas, even in some blue states. and his campaign specifically zeroed in on black and latino voters and on young voters. and our exit polls show he won one in three voters of color.
10:03 am
a republican hasn't done that in a very long time. the goal for the trump campaign, the strategy was hang on to their base which was rock solid, they felt, and then expand it and chip away at the democratic coalition. and they seem to have done just that, morgan. >> dasha, it's interesting because you personally have been covering trump and his campaign for years now, crisscrossing the country. we find you now in florida. how might his second term differ from what we've already seen in his first term? >> the campaign and the former president himself feel like it's going to be quite different in that the first time around he came in to washington, he didn't have his sea legs, he didn't know what he wants, and he frankly didn't have the command of the republican party that he does now. he feels like now he's coming in with that experience, he knows the kind of people he wants behind him. he's got folks at the different -- at the different think tanks, people that he wants to see in his cabinet.
10:04 am
he's talking about folks like rfk jr. and elon musk coming in to help pout. and he feels he has a mandate now, especially because of the margins of his victory here, to go in and enact some of the sweeping changes that he wants to make that he really wasn't able to get as much done last time because he was so fresh on the scene in washington. >> dasha, last night trump took a bit of a different tone. he talked about unity, healing the nation before he got into his usual stump speech talking points. he didn't actually address vice president harris. what kind of messaging does he need to put out there to the millions and millions of people who did not vote for him? >> look, i think the former president, we've seen time and time again, now the president-elect, he is who he is. he maybe changes up his tone once in a while. but this man is almost 80 years old. he's been this way for a very long time. i don't expect we will see any sort of changed candidate, any sort of changed person here. we're going to see what we've
10:05 am
seen on the campaign trail now in the white house. >> all right. dasha burns live in west palm beach, florida for us. dasha, thank you. >> i'd like to go to our nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor. yamiche, vice president harris is set to speak at 4:00 p.m. eastern. what do we expect to hear from her today? >> well, vice president harris is working on her speech right now and i'm told that she is really going to be talking about a peaceful transfer of power. she did not spend a lot of time on this concession speech ahead of today. instead her team had really been working on a speech about the uncertainty. they were planning on telling americans to hold on, to make sure that the votes were counted. so now they're having to do sort of a rewrite of all of that and get prepared for this. we prepared to ask about the fact america has spoken -- the voters have chosen donald trump to be the president-elect. >> yamiche, i want to go ahead and break in for a minute. we have breaking news where trump is now the projected winner in michigan, part of the so-called blue wall. >> he will take the 15 electoral
10:06 am
votes. those are the latest details that we have at this time. again, president-elect donald trump wins michigan. >> yamiche, let's talk a little about harris. she really did underperform in urban areas. turnout significantly lower than was really expected in places like detroit, which is a democratic stronghold. what did the campaign do wrong? who did they underestimate here? >> we can start by the fact that you're talking about michigan. if you look at the numbers in that state, a 47% turnout in detroit. that's an urban center with a lot of black voters that they would have had to up their numbers with. so there are a number of democrats telling me vice president harris didn't get her base to turn out in the numbers that she needed. you look at other states, pennsylvania. trump has led by 2.3. wisconsin trump is up by .8. georgia trump is up by 2.3. north carolina trump is up by 3.3. all of those are battleground states where vice president
10:07 am
harris visited multiple times where she was not able to get her people and her base to turn out in the way she wanted them to and there's a lot of hand wringing in the democratic party on why this happened. some people say she should have talked about the economy more, some people say president biden should have dropped out earlier. others saying that maybe president biden should have been used to campaign in some of those states where he had overperformed and done better than her in those states. vicky, morgan? >> a lot to look back upon in this postmortem. yamiche alcindor, thank you very much. >> now we'd like to talk about the balance of power because senate control is now in the hands of the gop. republicans flipped three seats just last night, gaining the majority and securing the balance of power in that chamber. >> now democrats they're holding out hope they may be able to at least pull off control of the house. there are more than 40 races that are still uncalled. republicans have already flipped three of those seats. we have with us nbc news capitol hill correspondent ali vitali to walk us through where the balance of power is leaning at
10:08 am
this hour. ali, with the house still in limbo, walk us through the races you're watching. what should we be paying attention to? >> the house is still in limbo. we talked about this yesterday. some of them are in the battleground states we typically talk about, pennsylvania, north carolina, but interior also some that are in non-traditional battleground states. new york and california specifically. we can even look at some of the ones that have already been called. we're looking, for example, at new mexico's second congressional district. again, not a race you would typically be talking about but one that was central to democrats even having the chance to take a house majority. one of the other ones that we're looking at is the alaska at large seat, a democrat had been able to take it in 2022, but because of their ranked choice voting system once you got down from two candidates -- well, from three candidates to two, it became more difficult for the democrat to keep the seat. we're waiting for vote totals to come in there. just an example of the vastness of this map. and an example, democrats need to flip four seats if they want to take control of the majority. >> as much as i do want to continue talking about the balance of power ali i have to
10:09 am
admit i begged our producers to book you today because you are an expert, you wrote a book titled "electable: why america hasn't put a woman in the white house yet." and i would like to talk about that for just a moment. the question sort of asks itself. when we look at the result of last night, do you think that is a function of this particular candidate or of where we are as a society? >> i think it's where we are as a society. and it's why i'm still optimistic. look, there was a world in which the subtitle of my book might have become irrelevant or some relic of the past. that is not the day we woke up in today with donald trump besting another woman on his path back to the oval office. but the reason i still feel optimistic is -- and i write about this. for every woman who ascends to be the first of any kind, in the senate, in the house, certainly for the presidency, they also carry the onus of knowing that they are laying bricks in the road not just for their own ambition but for the women who are going to come after them. certainly kamala harris was well aware of this despite the fact she never talked about being the
10:10 am
first of anything. that was by design. but the fact that she's ended up here, and this is going to be so central to her remarks later today. how does she contextualize this moment and make clear to people that she may have fallen short here but she is just putting more bricks in the road for people like her to come forward and run and potentially win. the other reason to be optimistic, the pipeline is so full. you look at this in 2020, more women running for a presidential cycle than ever before. you have those women still serving in the senate, serving in governorships. that means that they are primed, able, viable to run in 2028. i don't even want to go there yet. but it does mean that there's hope for the future. >> you know, ali, before we let you go i do want to talk about you talked to a lot of voters as well. and when you bring up this idea of a woman in power in the highest office of the land do you feel that voters are okay conceptualizing that or do you feel there are big swaths of america who still feel more comfortable with a man in that position, feel they are more
10:11 am
protected with a man in that position? >> it is such a simple question with such a complex answer because you look back in 2020, for example, the electorate, even in 2016, said yes, we're ready for a woman to be president. but when you start putting specific women's names on the line voters start coming up with all these excuses. i just don't like this about her, there's something about her that i don't like. and so that is the intangible of sexism, of racism. and that's what makes it hard to quantify in moments like this one. but we also know that there are different explanations coming out for why we saw the electorate shift in 2024 in new ways around latino voters, around black voters. these are conversations that have race, gender and policy you will abaked into them at once. and it's why it's going to take a little time for us to unspool this. voters are ready. but the imagination gap still exists at this point. and that means that the next woman who comes has that little bit of ex-dra work to do. >> and sometimes the isms. voters don't want to share the isms. they don't want to name the isms. so instead they use other issues
10:12 am
as the red herring to cover up the ism they find unpalatable. >> imagination gap. that's a big one. well, during the campaign vice president kamala harris put a lot of focus on women's reproductive rights while president-elect trump made a big bet on young male voters who had never cast a ballot before. >> his 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 to male voters seemingly paying off. in 2020 and 2016 about 4 in 10 men under 30 supported him. yesterday more than 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
10:13 am
unconventional approach including appearances with unconventional media figures popular with male voters. trump even saying he consulted his son barron for advice. >> a little bit. i mean, 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 well -- really well in the polls. >> but think that's -- >> 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. >> when 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, billionaire elon musk. >> he's a character, he's a special guy, he's a super
10:14 am
genius. we have to protect our geniuses. >> reporter: 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. all right. well, president-elect trump is still facing a long list of legal troubles. >> in fact, he's awaiting sentencing in his hush money
10:15 am
case in new york while his defense team continues to fight off prosecution in other state as well as federal cases. but the question now is how will all of this play out once he is sworn into office? here to answer, nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos. danny, we're talking four criminal cases. we're talking civil cases. this is an indicted now president-elect. what happens to all of these cases? >> the short answer is probably all of them are going to go away in one form or another. there are four pending criminal cases. bigger threats than the civil cases. one conviction so far. he's awaiting sentencing later e this month. in all likelihood i would expect that sentencing may be adjourned. but even if it goes forward he is not likely to get a sentence of incarceration. now, reasonable minds disagree with me on this point. but there are plenty of factors that lead to the conclusion that he will not get anything more than, say, either probation, house arrest, something he doesn't go to prison for. but let's say he is sentenced to prison and the sentencing goes forward in november.
10:16 am
he's not going anywhere because in all likelihood that sentence could not be served with him in the white house. obviously, we've never dealt with this. but the short answer is the constitution supremacy clause likely prevents incarcerating a sitting president. >> wow. >> so that case, the biggest threat to trump is no longer as big a threat. the federal cases too will go away completely. one is technically dismissed right now. the other is in sort of limbo as the judge figures out how much the immunity decision does or does not apply. but once donald trump becomes the chief executive he will simply get rid of those cases. and he doesn't need a pardon to do it. >> let's go back to the immunity because the supreme court made a ruling this summer, right? that said your actions you did while you were in office, former actions, you can be immune for those. but a sitting president always has immunity anyway. right? >> it's so interesting we talk about the immunity decision. but really what that decision focused on, the supreme court, was the extent to which a former president has immunity for
10:17 am
things that happened while he was in office. it really doesn't challenge what we've all taken to be truth for a long time, that a president while in office is not to be prosecuted. certainly not by state authorities, and usually not by the doj, which has its own policy not to do that. these are really complex issues. i'm trying to give you some shorthand for them. but the bottom line is even immunity decision or not, had we not had that supreme court decision, in all likelihood a sitting president is immune from all prosecution, which fits into the theory that the president in our governmental system is the one person who's the singular head of a branch. you can prosecute a supreme court justice, the court moves on. you can prosecute a congressman. we just had that happen. the congress, the senate, the house, they move on. arguably, the executive branch is headed by a single individual and you wrest the entire executive branch if you stick that president in jail. although there are some scholars who do believe that you can put a sitting president in jail. the reality is it's never been
10:18 am
tested, we don't know. probably in all likelihood a sitting president is completely immune while he's in office and then afterwards go see the supreme court decision for the chart on what things he can be prosecuted for and can't be prosecuted for. the shorthand is that official conduct cannot be prosecuted, quasi-official conduct you get the presumption of immunity and unofficial purely private conduct whatever that is is not immune once he leaves office. >> sometimes we overuse the word unprecedented in this case it certainly applies. danny cevallos, as always, we appreciate your legal analysis. >> it's time now for a cnbc money minute. with donald trump securing victory over kamala harris in the presidential election, wall street is hitting all-time highs. the dow climbed more than 1,000 points in one day for the first time since 2022. >> cnbc senior markets correspondent dominic chu joins us now. dom, what are the numbers telling us as the markets react to this trump win? >> sure. vicky, morgan, it's not just the dow. the s&p 500 and nasdaq are also
10:19 am
hitting record highs alongside the dow. and it's all seeming to show that investor sentiment over this trump presidency will be pro growth, pro deregulation and pro markets. it's not just that the dow is surging as well. investments that are expected to benefit from a trump presidency are also moving higher as well. that includes things like cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, elon musk's tesla shares are rising sharply as well as bank stocks. meanwhile, trump's own media company is up nearly 4% right now amid a volatile day of trading that saw pausing multiple times due to volatility. the stock was up as much as 50% overnight in extended trading. now the former president and president-elect now owns a 57% stake in trump media, which is seen as a proxy for the former president and rose despite a surprise earnings statement on tuesday that showed the company lost $19.2 million during its most recent quarter. and outside of the election amazon says it received regulatory approval to begin flying a smaller, quieter version of its delivery drone in
10:20 am
a city near phoenix, arizona. amazon first unveiled that mq-30 back in november of 2022. the approval process includes permission to fly the drone over longer distances and beyond the visual sight line of pilots. so next step, if you will, ladies, in seeing massive drone deliveries sometime in the near future. very blade runner, i guess, if you ask me. >> dom, they got over the faa but i'm telling you it's the hoa they're going to have to get over. >> all right, dom, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> you got it. new data shows trump's focus on gen z appears to have paid off. we're going to break down the impact that young voters had on this race just ahead. you're watching "nbc news daily."

(♪♪) we are continuing to monitor local election results coming in as we track decision 2024. i'm marcus washington. we begin this morning with the race to fill the u.s. senate seat left vacant by the late dianne feinstein. democrat adam schiff facing republican steve garvey. nbc news has called the race for schiff, who grew up in the east bay and went to stanford. the winner of the special election will hold the seat until january, then the winner of the regular election will take control. california now has two male senators for the first time in more than three decades, and

10:25 am
that the numbers that are out right now are not final. they say there are still thousands of ballots that need to be processed, including provisional ballots. those vote by mail ballots that were dropped off at drop boxes yesterday, as well as those that have a valid postmark. so they're not calling this race just yet. but the numbers do tell a story. and as you mentioned, political outsider and philanthropist daniel lurie is in the lead. he currently holds 56% of the vote after 14 rounds of ranked choice voting. incumbent mayor london breed at this point is in second place with almost 44% of the vote. now a key contender, mark farrell bowed out of the race late last night after coming in fourth place after initial results started coming in. now standing with his wife at his election party, farrell told supporters that voting results do not show a possible path to victory for him, so he thanked those who supported him and asked them to stand behind the person who wins. now, we don't officially know who that person is quite yet, but there was a
10:26 am
victorious energy and optimism at danielle louis rally in the mission last night after those results started coming in, and this morning we spoke to someone from daniel lurie's camp. there are no plans for him to speak today, but here is lurie seemingly celebratory. addressing the crowd last night, the moment that we are in calls for a new era of leadership in city hall, one rooted in accountability, service and change. yes. let me be very clear. this election was never about me. it was always about you. well, optimism was still alive at another party in town that was at mayor london breed election night party. mayor breed remains unfazed, saying she's been here before we got to just kind of take it back because i don't know if you
10:27 am
remember what happened in 2018. i mean, there were several days, even the night of election night, where i was definitely not in the lead. and you see me standing here right now as the mayor of san francisco. now, there are also some other close races for supervisor district supervisor in san francisco, particularly one in district one and in district five. we will continue to see those results come in with their ranked choice voting. the department of elections expects to have another preliminary update tomorrow at 4 p.m. live in san francisco. ginger conejero saab, nbc, bay area news. all right. ginger, thank you. now, voters across california deciding on ten propositions on this year's ballot, perhaps the most contentious and most talked about proposition 36, it passed overwhelmingly the proposition will increase those sentences for repeat shoplifters and drug dealers under prop 36, judges can also mandate drug treatment. supporters include small business owners who have been victims repeatedly of burglaries

10:31 am
thanks for being with us. i'm vicky nguyen. >> we are so glad you could join us. i'm morgan radford. here's what's making news right now. at least 89 people are still missing after deadly floods hit spain last week. more than 200 people are confirmed dead following the flash flooding that devastated homes and swept away cars and bridges. the country's prime minister says he is earmarking more than $11 billion to help those victims. international leaders are weighing in on donald trump's historic election victory. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu celebrated the former president's win saying he had made, quote, history's greatest comeback. while ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy posted on x congratulating trump and saying he looks forward to, quote, discussing ways to strengthen ukraine's strategic partnership with the united states. and some firsts this election. two black women will now serve together in the senate for the very first time ever. that's after maryland elected angela alsobrooks while delaware elected representative lisa
10:32 am
blunt rochester. that's now double the number of black women ever elected to the senate from two to four. and andy kim is now the first korean american elected to senate after winning the seat vacated by disgraced new jersey senator bob menendez. as predicted, the presidential race boils down to several crucial swing states with former president donald trump turning some of them red to secure the presidency. >> trump flipped georgia, pennsylvania and wisconsin, all in his favor. minutes ago nbc news projected he will also win michigan. biden had turned it blue in 2020 after trump won them in 2016. now, by losing those states this election vice president kamala harris missed an important path to victory. luckily, we have nbc news senior business correspondent christine romans here to break down the fight over those battlegrounds. it's interesting, christine, what we saw because while trump had already gained enough
10:33 am
electoral votes to become the projected winner, of course, we are still waiting on results from states like nevada, arizona. what do we know about those races that frankly are still too close to call? >> and those are two states where one of the trends of last night is really, really stark here. when you see that donald trump is making inroads with latino voters. let me show you, you know, kamala harris won latino voters in arizona, right? but she lost ground from joe biden in 2020 and donald trump was able to build on his support among latino voters. and that's really, really important in terms of the overall trend we've been seeing. same thing in nevada. they've split this vote this year. but again, it is kamala harris losing a little bit of support from latino voters and donald trump gaining support. and it's so interesting because when you talk to latino voters in our exit polling men in particular said the economy was issue number one for them and they gave donald trump higher marks on that. so the economy at every turn was something that really was top of mind for so many voters,
10:34 am
especially latino voters. >> vice president harris wanted to hold and build. she didn't. we also saw her underperforming in some urban areas like detroit, michigan. who did not show up for harris? n. those crucial areas and who did show up for trump? >> let's take a look at some of these places. i'd like to start in wisconsin where if you look at, say, milwaukee here, she won milwaukee. 68.3% of the vote. but let's pull it out here. she didn't hold on to what joe biden gained in 2020. if you look at green bay, you see at similar story here. she held just steady with joe biden in 2020. when you look at someplace like there you go, georgia, it really is something you can see in these atlanta suburbs. she won. these are places she was expected to win. but when you pull back on some of these suburbs, she didn't hold quite as much as joe biden did before. and again, donald trump even in some of these rural suburbs that don't have a lot of votes, he was able to maintain what he had in 2020 and build on it.
10:35 am
and that was sort of the story of the night when you started to see the cracks in her enthusiasm. >> all right, christine romans, we appreciate it. thanks for helping us through that big board. now, when it comes to the youth vote specifically, trump made significant gains, especially among young white males. >> that's right. exit polls show almost half of that voting bloc favored him in this election. nbc news now anchor savannah sellers joins us now here on set. so savannah, we know from your reporting voters nationwide who were in the younger demographic favored harris overall but trump really chipped away and it was the young white male voter that he got out to the polls even with that last-minute endorsement from joe rogan. >> that is exactly correct. and what you said is really important because it's not like he really won it altogether but the margin game is what made such a difference. we knew this was going to be such a close election it was basically a dead heat in every poll from every news organization until the last day there. so these little tiny movements. forgive me because i'm not sure if we have these graphics and it might be confuse field goal it's different than what i'm going to
10:36 am
say but i want to talk to what the youth vote in some of these crucial states. in michigan he did actually win the youth vote according to our exit polls. that can't be overstated how big of a deal that is, that the republican candidate did actually win. that's totally different than what we saw in 2020. he tied it in north carolina. he nearly tied it in wisconsin. and in pennsylvania he did not win it but he was up about ten points from his performance in 2020. that right there was his path to 270. and you see how he overperformed with those numbers. young men certainly. basically every single one of those states when you break it down by gender even more is that gain when it comes to young men. >> but there also a gain when it came to first-time voters. what was different this year than what we saw four years ago? >> it's not the same as young voters necessarily. 57% of these first-time voters are under the age of 30 but this just includes anybody who decided to come out for the first time. anecdotally, by the way, i spoke with voters in every inge is'll swing state, young people who were eligible in 2020 did not vote but what they saw, what
10:37 am
they heard on a lot of podcasts made them decide to come out in 2024 and overwhelmingly that type of voter was coming out for president trump. let's talk about the numbers. in 2024 this year according to our exit polling trump taking 53% of first-time voters. that is a reversal. they broke heavily for biden in 2020 at 64% for biden, the democratic candidate then. >> wow. >> 53% this time for trump. >> savannah sellers. thank you. >> thank you, savannah. well, voters also said abortion rights were a top issue for them in this first presidential election since roe v. wade was overturned back in 2022. measures to protect and expand reproductive rights passed in 7 of the 10 states that had abortion on the ballot. >> that includes arizona, where the measure will effectively overturn the state's 15-week abortion ban. that's where we find correspondent liz kreutz, who joins us now live from phoenix. liz, walk us through what these changes actually mean. i mean, how is this ballot initiative ultimately expanding the state's reproductive rights?
10:38 am
>> reporter: yeah, hey, morgan. hey, vicky. so this is a big win for abortion access advocates here in the state. this is proposition 139. it passed pretty handily. it will enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution here. and it will expand abortion access. currently abortion is banned after 15 weeks. this will allow abortion up to fetal viability, about 23 or 24 weeks, or even beyond that based on the health of the mother. essentially, it brings the law here in arizona back to what it was before the overturning of roe vs. wade. and this is a really popular measure. it got more than 800,000 signatures to even get it on the ballot. more than any other proposition has gotten in arizona state history. there was a lot of bipartisan support here among democrats, independents and republicans. and it's interesting. i think democrats were hoping that this being on the ballot here would help give kamala harris a boost. but from talking to so many voters here we talked to a lot of republican women who said it
10:39 am
wasn't a driving issue for them, they were going to support this measure but they had other issues they supported like immigration and they backed former president trump. i talked to one republican woman who said the reason she was supporting this measure is because she simply wanted it to become a non-issue, just sort of get it oft table as an issue that has to be litigated for future races so they can focus on other things moving forward, guys. >> thanks so much, liz kreutz, we appreciate it, live from phoenix. well, wall street is rallying on the heels of trump's victory. the dow, s&p 500 and the tech-heavy nasdaq all hitting new record highs today. >> the dow is up by more than 1,000 points for the first time since 2022. and the price of oil falling today after trump campaigned heavily on drilling more to boost supply and bring down prices at the pump. >> editor in chief of investopedia caleb silver joins us on set. caleb, good to have you. the u.s. dollar having its best day since 2016. we saw similar reaction during the first trump election. what's driving the dollar and the market today? >> trump has promised to
10:40 am
strengthen the dollar. he wants a strong dollar across the globe. strong dollar not great for a lot of countries that import or export. but he's been talking about making that dollar strong again and that has the enthusiasm there. what you're seeing is this broader rally across risk assets in general. that is stocks because he's promising to extend the 2017 tax cuts act and lower the corporate tax rate but also broader deregulation, whether it's the fed or the s.e.c., that's been big -- good news for a lost investors who want these stocks to have higher profits and less eyeballs on them. >> it's interesting because cryptocurrencies are also popping right now. in fact, trump said he wanted to make crypto capital of the planet. what would that actually look like, caleb? >> what could go wrong is what i have to say. a deregulated currency that trades on the blockchain but not a lot of people understand it. he's also been courting the crypto crowd for a very long time. not just through elon musk, his new friend, who has $5 billion of bitcoin in tesla's treasury, but also he's been going to conferences where bitcoin holders hang out saying the
10:41 am
government's going to stay away from your crypto, we're going to keep the crypto we have in our treasury, the government seizes a lot of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency through money laundering and theft. he wants to increase that balance inside the treasury. he's also promised to fire gary gensler, the s.e.c. chairman who's been very critical of the crypto industry and wants it tightly regulated. all of these things have bitcoin holders very happy today. >> deregulation. caleb silver as always. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. what is next for president-elect trump? we're going to break down what to expect in his first 100 days based on what he has promised. that's next. more "nbc news daily" right after this.

throughout his candidacy donald trump campaigned on promises of mass deportations, new tariffs and the stronger approach to foreign policy. >> well, right now we'll see how the new president-elect follows through on those policy
10:45 am
proposals. nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell explains what trump's first 100 days in office might look like. >> reporter: rare in american politics, a presidential sequel. >> we're going to turn it around. and i'm asking you dream big. the american dream, just dream big. we're bringing it back. this will be america's new golden age. >> reporter: heading back to the white house, mr. trump pledges to take swift and sweeping action to close the southern border and to deport millions of migrants here illegally. >> we're going to stop the people from pouring into our border. we're going to have a mass deportation of criminals. we have to get the criminals out of our country. >> reporter: the president-elect seized on fears about crime and vowed to take tough action. >> we will crush violent crime and give our police the support, protection, resources and respect that they so dearly deserve. >> reporter: beyond immigration his broadest pitch is that he
10:46 am
could lower prices and boost the economy. he said he would increase energy production to reduce consumers' 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. >> reporter: 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 to me is tariff. >> reporter: trump 2.0 is expected to include the still to be defined influence of controversial figures. the world's richest man, elon musk, on cost cutting and robert f. kennedy jr. on health, despite his anti-vaccine views and lack of scientific training. >> robert f. kennedy jr. rfk jr.
10:47 am
he's going to help us on health and the health of women and men and children. >> reporter: another trump term means an america first approach to foreign policy. >> i will not send you to fight and die in a foolish neverending foreign war. >> reporter: mr. trump, who favors strongmen, counts his relationship with putin. >> i get along with putin. ukraine was the apple of his eye but i said vladimir, don't go in. >> reporter: he has refused to say ukraine should win that war and retain its sovereignty and territory. >> i will end the war in ukraine. should have never happened. >> reporter: his tough guy rhetoric and persona drove a gender gap with more men supporting him. his political brand fortified by grievances. with a return to power he said 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've weaponized the justice
10:48 am
department against their political opponent. >> reporter: a trump second term will also be his chance to build his brand. >> this will be the greatest movement i think in the history of the world. >> build his brand and consolidate power. kelly o'donnell joins us again in studio. kelly, i want to ask something very plainly that speaker mike johnson said just last night. he said if in fact republicans do get total control of congress he said, quote, the most aggressive we will see, the most aggressive first 100-day agenda that anybody's seen in a modern era. what would that look like? >> well, i think we can see from just the clips we assembled and having covered him the first time around and through this campaign there is a broad and break the mold kind of approach. he in many ways has a very expansive view of his own power and does a lot of his own direct negotiating, whether it is with international leaders or whether it is picking up the phone to a ceo to get something done,
10:49 am
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. and 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 -- >> we'd like to break in to our traditional programming now for breaking news. i'm morgan radford. this is my co-anchor vicky nguyen. we're coming on the air right now because we have just learned that kamala harris, the current vice president, has called now president-elect donald trump in a concession speech. >> and we understand she will be making remarks to the nation at 4:00 p.m. we want to bring in senior white
10:50 am
house correspondent kelly o'donnell now. kelly, what have you learned about what was discussed on that phone call? >> well, advisers to the vice president say that she placed the call to donald trump, the now president-elect, and wanted to talk about the need for a peaceful transition and being a president for all americans. a concession call used to be commonplace. it used to be an absolute basic of election life in america. and that changed when donald trump did not concede in 2020. so part of what we're seeing from the biden-harris administration, already from president biden and certainly from kamala harris, who of course is feeling, you know, great eem sure disappointment and distress over losing, trying to get back to those institutions. so they are going to have the conversation. she will make remarks to the public later this afternoon. public later this afternoon. >> at 40 p.m.:0 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
