age of america. america has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. >> our coverage begins with nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard in west palm beach, florida, vaughn, it's god to see you a statement from the trump campaign about the call with vice president harris, what are they saying right now and how is trump team planning to celebrate this major victory in the coming days and weeks. >> reporter: right, there's at lot that goes with the election, ballot counting, the election being called. it took about eight hours for vice president harris to call up her republican competitor donald trump, the former president now the president-elect, to place that phone call ahead of her concession speech here that's supposed to take place in about an hour. from the trump campaign, they

write about that phone call, quote, president trump acknowledged vice president harris on her strength, professionalism and tenacity throughout the campaign and both leaders agreed on the importance of unifying country. for donald trump this is now about planning the transition effort. of course he's slated to take office on inauguration day on january 20th, 2025, and already there are two transition co-chairs, one of them tells me already been engaging in phone calls with potential political appointees to add to the cabinet and some potential cabinet officials here in west palm beach for last night's events and others that donald trump has had on the campaign trail with him that could be under the k to

join a potential cabinet. >> you spoke to robert f. kennedy jr. he could play a key health role in a new trump administration. what did he say. >> reporter: he's one of those individuals, he didn't rule out to me being open to the nomination for the department of human -- health and human services secretary role, he said he would be open to a health czar-type role. on the issue of vaccines, a anti-vaccine, a skeptic, i asked him about whether there are any vaccines in his capacity of the white house he would take off the market, take a listen. >> i'm not going to take anybody's vaccines. i'm not aebt-vaccine. >> reporter: you won't take any vaccine that's current on the market. >> if vaccines are working for

somebody i'm not going to take them away. people ought to have choice and informed by the best information. >> reporter: now kennedy said he's actively on his way over to mar-a-lago to meet with trump's senior advisers. >> vaughn hillyard, great reporting today and the entire cycle. in 75 days president-elect donald trump will begin a second term in the white house that cold look very different from the first one. >> kelly o'donnell breaks down what the president elect has vowed to accomplish in his return to the oval office. >> reporter: rare in american politics a presidential sequel. >> we'll turn it around. i'm asking you to dream brig, the american dream, 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'll crush violent crime, we'll give the police they need support, resources and respect they so dearly deserve. >> reporter: beyond immigration, his broadest pitch is that he 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'll 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 dictionary to me is "tariffs." >> reporter: the 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. will help us on health and the health of women, 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 never-ending foreign war. >> reporter: mr. trump who favors strongmen counts his relationship with putin. >> i got along with putin. ukraine was the apple of his eye. i said vladimir, don't go in. >> reporter: he's refused to say

that 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 would fire the special counsel jack smith, putting a stop to 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. >> reporter: a trump second term will also be his chance to build his brand. >> this will be the greatest movement in the history of the world. >> reporter: kelly o'donnell, nbc news. he's won georgia, wisconsin, pennsylvania and now michigan. >> the electoral map as it stands at this hour, nevada and

arizona are still too close to call per our decision desk. mr. trump was able to secure victory last night without them despite warnings we might not know the outcome of elections for days we got it overnight. joining us now is christine romans. this election was supposed to be a nail-biter, we thought hours and hours, what happened? >> reporter: you know, look, joe biden in 2020 had six of those seven battleground states in his pocket and donald trump managed to get some of them back like georgia for example, donald trump won georgia here and he was able to build on his lead there, that was really important for him, you go up and you look at north carolina, he had north carolina last time around he built again on his lead in north carolina, and then continue on to michigan for example, we talked about michigan, this was supposed to be some place where kamala harris was going to prevail and she didn't. he was able to flip it back from

biden winning in 2020. you saw over and over these places, where he was able to hold and grow his coalition from 2020 and she was not able to do quite as well as joe biden had. >> now some people are calling this race the gender election, right, polls showed trump drawing more support from men and harris more from women, did we see that really play out last night. >> reporter: we sure did. when you break it down, it's like mirror image here, women 53%, harris carried women and donald trump carried men, it was really quite remarkable and when you look at younger voters, young men voters prevailed more for donald trump than many people had thought. latino men, who said that the economy was their top issue u more of them broke for donald trump as well. >> to build on that, trump gained very big with black and latino voters.

our exit polling found that 1 in. voters of color supported donald trump. >> reporter: if you look at some place like michigan and you go to detroit here, obviously she won detroit, no question here, but if you back up a little bit you can see she didn't prevail as much as joe biden did. a big county with a lot of votes, a little bit of an enthusiasm drag in these counties that are predominantly african american, going down to georgia you can see kind of the same thing, so interesting in georgia you saw some of these counties that -- she prevailed in all of these counties, no question, but when you look at prior elections you can see she's just not building on some of the gains that she once had but donald trump continues to add to his numbers. building on some of those numbers in places that were pretty critical for turnout.

as the postmortem from last night, the cracks that were apparent by 10:00 last night. >> all right, christine romans, thanks for breaking it down. vice president kamala harris is expected to speak later today about her election defeat. >> the vice president called president-elect trump to concede the race earlier today. she's scheduled to speak at howard university the alma mater, the white house said president biden called both the vice president and mr. trump today to congratulate both of them on the campaign. he's expected to speak about the election results tomorrow. >> gabe gutierrez joins us now from howard university in washington, d.c., gabe, it's safe to say it's very different energy on that campus today compared to just last night what do we know about this call between vice president harris and president-elect trump.

do we expect to hear from harris later today. >> reporter: yes, we do. good afternoon. as you said we're expecting to hear from the vice president in just a short time and earlier today she did call former president trump and concede this race and also according to a senior aide talked about the importance of a peaceful transfer of power in being a president for all americans. now of course this comes after a brutal night yesterday at howard university, her alma mater as you said, very different vibe today, throughout the night we saw it grow more somber and of course her supporters are still coming to terms with the events of last night. but as you said, vice president and former president trump speaking a little earlier today. >> gabe, president biden has what over two months i think left in office now, how is he planning to handle these last two months and the transition to the next trump administration. >> reporter: kate, we're awaiting details on that.

president biden expected to speak about the transition tomorrow, but we also know from his phone call with former president trump he has invited the former president to the white house, still don't have any details but we're told that both staffs are coordinating that, still many unanswered questions over the next couple of weeks how the transition will transpire, vice president harris actually, we're told her remarks today had to be re-work because her campaign had been potentially thinking she was going to have a speech telling her supporters to hold on, because they expected the results of this election to drag on. a bit of surprise that everything was called early. they're thanking staff and saying they did all they could. >> briefly, what's the sentiment from the harris campaign, she's working on her remarks a whole team behind her.

>> yes, that's right. look in that letter to staff, campaign chair said they faced some very strong headwinds and the country shifted to the right, they were trying to acknowledge in those battleground states it shifted a little less, trying to put a positive spin on it as the campaign officials speaking with today certainly very somber and a lot of disappointment. >> gabe, thanks so much. the election results are also determining the future of congress of course and which party will take charge in the upper and lower chamber. >> some of those results are still coming in. that democratic senator from wisconsin, tammy baldwin will win a third term despite former president trump beating vice president kamala harris in the state. >> the republican party has won control of the senate, they're up now 52-43, but control of

house of representative sts still up for grabs. joining us is ali vitali, let's talk about the senate first, where do republicans pick up their biggest win. the republicans now squarely control the chamber, big win for them. west virginia, ohio and montana, you see those states are now filled in in red and frankly in my conversations with republican operatives, the places they were hoping and expecting to flip. a few key races out here that will decide how big that margin actually is. chief among them is here in nevada, republican sam brown is about 6,000 votes ahead of incumbent jackie rosen. the other one is michigan, right now slotkin former house member running for this open senate

seat is leading by 16,000 votes there against mike rogers, another former house member who's fallen in line with former president donald trump. and pennsylvania, where bob casey incumbent is in a fight against david mccormick. it's stunning to see these key races come down to such tight margins. >> what does control of both the white house and the senate mean for this incoming administration. >> a really key moment, if republicans are able to roll in in 2025 with control of the senate, the white house and the house, that what trump had back in 2017, one of the biggest things they focused on was the tax cuts and jobs act, those tax measures are up for debate again now in january. >> ali, when are we going to know about the house? >> this is a very big question and most of these california

races have taken a while in the past, be patient, a few key ones we're waiting on, democrats wanted to flip four seats, they needed that if they wanted control of the chamber, still a task they're working on here actively as some of these close races are ticking down slowly. time now for today's money minute. announce from nintendo means you don't need to throw out your old games. apple is no longer the most valuable company in the world. we'll start with my favorite story, nintendo said it will allow current switch games to be played on the next generation of the hit console as a way to appeal to the current switch base. shares of nintendo up nearly 6% on the news. also spirit area systems one of boeing's key suppliers is warning there's substantial

but first, here are some of the other stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." move over moo deng, there's a new hippo taking over the internet, the edinburgh zoo, haggis, just months after a thailand zoo went viral with moo deng who gained popularity quickly. >> we're learning more about the man arrested at the u.s. capitol on election day, police say the 28-year-old from michigan entered the capitol smelling like fuel and carrying a torch flare gun, he's been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and disorderly conduct. officers say they also found what seemed to be a manifesto and letter to congress with his opinion on the war in the middle east. hurricane rafael is now a category 3 storm, on track to hit cuba today. it could bring life-threatening

devastation to its path, rafael is expected to move into the gulf of mexico this week but it's unclear exactly where it might impact people. in addition to the presidential race, women's reproductive rights were also on the ballot last night. >> nbc news correspondent liz kruetz joins us from phoenix, arizona, walk us through those ballot measures that were up for a vote, which states did voters support to reproductive care for. >> reporter: many of the seven states that did pass these abortion measures they were faced with already had laws allowing abortion up to fetal viability, in new york for example, an extra level of protection in those states, seven of the states where abortion was on the ballot passed those initiatives. missouri, first time the dobbs,

the state has overturned a state ban on abortion, missouri had a ban even for rape and incest, now with this measure they'll allow it to fetal viability. in arizona, abortion has been enshrined into the state's constitution, currently abortion is allowed up to 15 weeks, this measure prop 139 will now allow abortion access up to fetal viability around 23 weeks. the three states where the initiative did not pass -- know nebraska, south dakota and florida. first time a initiative has been on the ballot since the overturning of roe haven't passed in florida. it required a 60% threshold, they just missed that. six-week ban on abortion hold and the republicans have won the white house and the senate and a chance they could win the house as well, a chance we could see a push for a national abortion ban under the trump administration.

>> reporter: certainly that's something that abortion access advocates are worried about or eyeing, a sense maybe the trump administration might not push for a federal national ban, they would have to have a pretty sizable victory in the house and the senate to do that and former president trump has waffled on what he would do, but there's some sense that the trump administration could eye other ways to limit abortion federally, whether or not they'll try to enforce a ban from 1870s the comstock act. limiting abortion pills. >> liz, thanks so much. we're zeroing in on things that might change under a new trump administration the former president has promised to reinstate a ban on military

service on transgender people and block transitioning care for minors nationwide. >> what does this mean for a second trump term. joining us now is steven romo. what are you hearing from voters about a second trump presidency. >> reporter: there's a lot of fear in the many lgbtq community particularly about trans rights when it comes to former president. advocate groups posting today we're broken hearted but we're not broken. along with a list of mental hefrlt resources for the community. the trevor project posting something similar, your life matters. there's a real sense that the progress that's been made over the past few years could be rolled back.

what voters had to say. >> i have a lot of lgbtq. i fear for them. i think our country got less safe for them. i don't know. not the country i thought it was. >> reporter: also hearing from voters bringing up a project 2025, which you'll remember promotes traditional american family, trump has distanced himself from that, there are many links between that effort and his campaign. >> president-elect trump's campaign ran ads around trans , the tag line, harris is for they/them. i wonder if people you're talking to if things are really going to change under a trump administration. >> reporter: certainly, aisle hearing from voters the fall of roe v. wade, the decision in

2015 legalized gay marriage also based on the rights to privacy which is how roe v. wade ended up falling, with project 2025, mentioning traditional american values something that many people are talking about and president trump himself mentioning the boys in girls sports, talking about parents sending their girls to school and falsely claiming they're receiving gender reassignment. i have heard some of these voters is knowing that the president can't do anything on their own, legislators, plan to call and write to. >> steven romo, thank you. now the markets even though

it's not unusual for the stock market to fluctuate after a presidential election, wall street apparently feels good about a trump presidency. >> let's bring in caleb silver. it's not unusual for the stock market to fluctuate post-election, what's driving the numbers. >> resolution, not dragging on for several days and several weeks. we could see the future, the future looks like donald trump in the white house the senate is under control of the republicans, we'll see what happens with the house. he's promised a lot of things, to extend the tax cuts from 2017 that brought the corporate tax cut down to 21%. keeping it down there and even lowering it for some companies. a broader deregulation around the fossil fuel industry and the banking industry. lot more dealmaking. lower taxes in general. lot of government spending is good news for the stock market. >> caleb, president-elect trump has been vocal about implementing on tariffs entering the country. >> that means 20% par riff

across the board on all products we import. what does that mean, we'll pay more as retailers. it's inflationary in nature. a choice here of higher tariffs but lower taxes and obviously voters voted for lower taxes that's big part of it as well. there's tariffs and this rhetoric about making things in america and spending things on infrastructure. everything made in america, based in america doing well in the stock market. >> spending in that arena -- >> absolutely. >> what would trump's proposals do to the national debt. >> explode it, because this is government spending at its highest, we're talking about tariffs, that's inflationary, more spending here in the usa. it looks at the federal budget talks about a $7 trillion to $8 trillion increase on the budget deficit, if he gets some of his

proposals through. the trump family has often put on an united front. >> they don't trust anyone without the last name trump, in 2017 we remember ivanka trump and jared kushner were inside the administration things have changed in eight years. >> reporter: donald trump returning to the white house for a second term but this time around with a smaller entourage in tow, telling fox news his kids won't serve in his administration. >> that's enough for the family, you know why, it's too painful for the family. >> reporter: in his first presidency, ivanka trump served as a key adviser and her husband took on major and controversial role on a number of projects including middle east diplomacy. ivanka less present on the campaign trails expected to keep more distance this term. >> she took a hit for going into

politics, so she wants to step away. >> reporter: trump's youngest child barron is 18. a college student attending new york university. >> he tells me about the hot guys, dad, that guy is hot. >> reporter: melaina trump is protective of barron and doesn't want him in the limelight. >> she says it's dangerous especially after the assassination attempt and she thinks he's too young for the rough and tumble of politics. >> reporter: since leaving the white house in 2021, melaina herself has rarely appeared with her husband, at the convention but not speaking and a surprise appearance at that rally in madison square guard >> please welcome our next commander in chief, my husband, donald j. trump.

>> reporter: the big unanswered question, will the first lady live in washington or stay in new york? >> reporter: very much like it was the last time when she wants to be in the white house they'll be there. when she didn't feel like she just disappeared. >> reporter: melania speaks of the mental well-being of children and may try to reinvent her bebest initiative. >> there's tough and then trump tough. >> reporter: eric managing more of trump business and his wife lara a co-chair of the republican national committee. don't forget the gen-z trump. >> trump's granddaughter made her debut at the national convention. her grandfather beaming. up next, this election is historic, we'll walk you through the many firsts

the wonderful wizard of oz summons you to the emerald city. come with me. to meet the wizard. i couldn't possibly. this is your moment. i'm coming. all aboard, to the emerald city. just follow the road. it's gonna lead you right... oh. to me. [ indistinct chatter ] well this has been fun. woo!

we have talked about president-elect trump's decisive victory, an extraordinary time. >> among the milestones the former president is the first person to win nonconsecutive terms since grover cleveland in the 19th century, the first person to have been impeached to win the presidency and the first person convicted of felonies to

win and the oldest person ever elected to the presidential office, as we begin this new era, we want to take a look at what lies ahead for our political parties and countries. michael beschloss and jonathan alter. michael, we'll start with you, put president-elect trump's win into historical context for us, when younger generations are reading their textbooks, what do you think they're going to see. >> he's run, he's run three elections, this is movement, number of people have voted for him majority in some cases, and they have been durable that's rarely happened in american history. grover cleveland managed to do that in 1800th donald trump has asked for the strongest

presidency in america history, using the justice department, defense department against political adversaries, possibly suspending the constitution, dictator for the day. >> any parallel to grover cleveland. >> in some ways, yes, it's a period of capitalism, i think cleveland an obscure former president, little bit of -- he didn't dominate his era the way trump is seen as dominating. he was elected in 1884, he lost to benjamin harrison in 1888 made a comeback in 1892. then, in 1893, a panic, we could

call it now a depression, it changed everything in american politics, a severe seizure from the whole system, i think, you know, cleveland was very, very unpopular, so it's an indication you can't say for sure what's going to happen in the next four years, you know you have a number of economists who believe if trump's trade tariff, 20% tariff, if that was imposed it would break economic havoc, all kind of things could happen or maybe not. >> i mean, speaking of unanticipated things, women, expectation they would show up in droves for vice president harris instead president-elect trump overperformed in that group, what do you make of that. >> so, just to be clear, harris still carried women not with the margins that she needed in order to -- >> compare to biden among young women. >> that's correct.

some deeper questions of misyojny might be too strong. the reaction of certain men, not all men, of women in power, i haven't heard enough discussion of this today and reaction some women have of women in power. there are millions of people yesterday who voted, you know, in favor of more liberal policies on abortion and voted also for donald trump. those feelings may be a weakness for strong leadership that people have for a strongman. those are factors. >> michael, i told my two grown children last night we're all more alike than different as americans, am i right, am i right? are we going to get through

this? >> we also need presidents to remind us of that, the founders knew they created a system that was decisive. impose unpopular policies, they also said the person who's going to unify americans and remind them of exactly, kate, what you told your children -- >> kids, kids. no grandchildren. >> i thought you said grandchildren. okay, well, i'm arguing what you're saying, no grandchildren here, but in any case, the point i'm making is that the purpose of the president is to unite americans and bring it all together, trump has been great at passionate policies not the unifying. unifying. 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
