>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm lilia luciano in new york. thanks for staying with us. president biden is in indonesia, the final stop on his week-long tour of asia pacific nations. he'll return to washington later this week, knowing that his presidency will not be swamped by what republicans had predicted to be a 2022 red wave in the midterms. this weekend nevada's democratic senator catherine cortez masto was declared the winner in her re-election bid. that ensures the senate will remain in democratic hands. and as republicans come to grips with their failings at the polls last week, former president donald trump is expected to

announce he's running for re-election. martha teichner has more. >> reporter: here's where we are. as the midterm vote count drags on. and on. the house is still in play, leaning republican, just barely. >> there it is. that's the check mark. catherine cortez masto declared by our decision desk the winner of the nevada senate race. >> reporter: now that catherine cortez masto has been projected to win in nevada, and with mark kelly's apparent victory in arizona -- >> thank you so much. thank you, everybody. >> reporter: -- the democrats have likely held the senate. if they win the december runoff between senator raphael warnock and herschel walker in georgia, they'll actually pick up a seat. >> we're in overtime. that means we've got a runoff. hey, i was built for this. i was built for this.

>> you have to admit that i did warn you all that we might be spending thanksgiving together. >> reporter: based on what usually happens in the midterms, inflation worries and republican expectations. >> it's going to be a big red wave no matter what people in the media say. >> you're feeling confident. >> take it to the bank. >> reporter: democrats were supposed to lose big. >> we're going to see not just a red wave but a red tsunami >> reporter: so what happened to the red wave? >> democrats had a strong night. and we lost fewer seats in the house of representatives than any democratic president's first midterm election in the last 40 years. >> perhaps it's best to think of it as all about dobbs, denialism, and the donald. >> reporter: susan glasser is a "new yorker" staff writer and co-author of "the divider: trump in the white house." >> democrats made a pretty strong case that republicans had become a party of extremism. however, i would point out to

another factor as well. the political euphemism of the year this year is candidate quality. and really that is just another way of saying that the republicans ran some pretty bad candidates in some of these key races, many of them supported and p mehmet oz in pennsylvania, who lost. >> are we all in on this? >> well, i think if they win i should get all the credit and if they lose i should not be blamed at all. >> reporter: former trump stalwarts are piling on. >> i mean, i think trump's kind of a drag on our ticket. >> if you want the republican party to thrive, we've got to just finally speak out and say this man is a loser. >> reporter: he's been called the name he hates most. >> donald trump is the biggest loser. >> reporter: but wait. a reality check. >> if the balance of power changes in any significant way, meaning do republicans take

control of the house, that is going to have a big impact. and that's still in some ways a successful midterm for the republicans. >> reporter: julianne zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at princeton university and author of "burning down the house" about former speaker n gingrich. >> what was our mission? to win the majority, to stop biden's agenda and fire nancy pelosi. all of that is accomplished. >> reporter: power is power. even with some races still undecided. kevin mccarthy, the would-be speaker of a republican house, has already formed a transition team. and has been consulting gingrich. in zelizer's view the patriarch of no-holds-barred partisanship. >> let's talk about what the welfare state has created. let's talk about the moral decay of the world the left is deending. >> if you're making a bet about where a speaker mccarthy would go, the safe bet would be he'll

be aggressive, he's going to use the kind of language that gingrich always promoted, he's going to try to vilify and put democrats and the biden administration under constant investigation. so a ripple or a wave, either way what you're going to have is probable gridlock. >> reporter: mccarthy is among the more than 300 gop candidates for state and federal office this year who have 2020 election deniers. more than 180 have been projected to win so far. including at least four in races for secretaries of state. the officials in charge of elections. although notably not in arizona, michigan, and georgia, key battleground states. >> that's the question of 2022. do the ones who win have enough power? are they situated in the right places? does the 2024 election unfold in such a way that their influence

is still enormous? >> i'm going to be making a very big announcement on tuesday november 15th at mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. >> reporter: these midterms after all set the stage for 2024, a stage donald trump fully intends to dominate, as he is expected to announce his candidacy this week. candidacy this week. >> that was restless nights fogging up your day? tonight, try new zzzquil pure zzzs sleep plus next day energy with melatonin to help you fall asleep naturally... plus extended-release b-vitamins. wake up feeling refreshed. pure zzzs. sleep better. wake up your best.

giant sequioas and california redwoods are nature's skyscrapers. but the towering trees are dying in droves as fires burn bigger, hotter and longer. in tonight's "weekend journal" cbs's charlie de mar shows us how scientists are trying to save the threatened western woods by sowing their seeds in northern michigan. >> reporter: as fires and drought fueled by climate change threaten the majestic sequioas and redwoods that have lived for thousands of years in california, what's growing in this out of the way greenhouse in northern michigan could help save the species. and what is the goal? >> the the real goal for me is to protect and propagate as many different species as we can.

>> reporter: jared millark and the team at the tree archives are in a race against climate change and the toll it's taking on ancient trees. they collect samples from sequioas and redwoods, clone them, then replant them in places that need to be reforested. the castle fire in 2020 ripped through the southern sierra nevadas, claiming an estimated 10% of the world's largest sequioas and one of the largest redwoods left in california, called the waterfall tree. >> the waterfall tree is a great example of why we're in a hurry to do this. we collected the genetics from that a few years ago. we were actually able to take some of those clones and give them back to the community there to replant. >> reporter: just as importantly, they are archiving the trees' genetic materials as insurance so they'll be able to clone. david millark is jared's dad and co-founder of the project. >> this is a really, really special tree. >> reporter: these trees are marvels he says. >> they grew just six feet this year. >> reporter: because they grow ten times faster than most others and capture massive amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. >> these trees uptake co2 ten times faster than almost any species of tree on earth. we need to remove the excess co2 from the atmosphere, and these

are the champions or the workhorses of doing just that. >> reporter: some of the newest sprouts here come from clippings of a giant sequioa from surprisingly just 30 miles down the road in manistee, michigan. the tree has grown 116 feet tall in less than 75 years and is particularly promising because it's thrived much farther north than where most grow naturally. what does that tell you? >> i think it's a great example of how they can adapt and survive in different environments. >> reporter: the hope is these seedlings can be planted in colder places. >> nice healthy trees. >> reporter: turning these climate change champions loose where they've never been before. >> even with this one tree that we have now make a change here and the cuttings from this tree, part of manistee and part of our legacy will be all around the world, all around the united states. i couldn'tgepproach using some of the world's oldest trees to fight climate change one clone at a time. charlie de mar, cbs news,
