that has them seeing a lot of red. literally. in new jersey that governor's race still too close to call right now. democrat incumbent phil murphy facing off against jack ciattarelli. biden won in 2020 by a wide margin. votes still being counted as we wait. in virginia, glen youngkin edged past mcauliffe, flipping another state that biden won by a sizable margin. steve kornacki standing by at his big board. he is following it all for us. we're going to get the latest from steve in moments. also right now these big races putting an even bigger microscope on biden's agenda and the dialing up the urgency among democrats to get something, anything done. in the last 15 minutes, we got a major update about the

negotiations. the push to get paid leave back in the bill. we're also talking about the moment in the pandemic that so many parents have been waiting for. children as young as five now getting the coronavirus vaccine as we speak. shots going in arms. could this be a turning point in our fight with the virus? also right now, day two of testimony underway in the kyle rittenhouse murder trial in wisconsin. the prosecution is up. the latest from the courtroom just ahead. but we start once again with nbc's steve kornacki at his big board. chris jansing is in virginia, outside washington d.c. rehema in hoboken, new jersey. and former congressman carlos kurbelo of florida, we'll get to them in a moment. steve, let's talk about what happened in new jersey, what is still happening in new jersey. right now 85% of the vote is in.

where are the outstanding votes and what can we glean from the outcome of the race perhaps based on the outstanding votes? >> you can see democrat phil murphy has taken a very, very slightly .3 of a point. the good news for murphy at this point is what we know is left looks like it strongly favors him. one of the places we think there's a significant amount of outstanding vote is mercer county. this is a blue county. we think the vote by mail is still to be reported in mercer county. the vote by mail is the most pro murphy democratic friendly vote there is. murphy has been winning the vote by mail huge everywhere. and we also think there are some election day votes cast in mercer county that are also to be counted another place. i can show you another place where there's outstanding vote. you can see essex county. newark. the immediate newark area. this produces more votes for the democrat in any given election

in new jersey than any other county. you see how murphy is doing. there's a couple dozen precincts that are still to report in essex county. murphy could get thousands of votes. we could be talking 20,000 or more votes left in essex county. we could be talking down here in mercer when i say vote by mail is still to come, that's probably about 28,000 votes right there. murphy would be expected to win those with 80 % plus of the vote. the same-day vote, maybe another 15,000 of that left. when you're looking at murphy with the 7,000 vote lead statewide, and he can add in vote by mail in mercer county and what is still to come in places like essex county and also expecting camden county, another core democratic county. you can look at this map and you can find some pockets of deep democratic support where there are still different 10,000, 20,000 votes here or there to come in.

there's all sorts of opportunity for murphy to pad the lead. when you look for where could ciattarelli combat that, we don't see that right now. this has been democrats and republicans alike in new jersey have been frustrated with how the vote reporting is going. there's been a lot of confusion. leave open the possibility that something might be being missed here, but you don't see right now any big pockets of republican vote left to come, so we still try to get some clarity on exactly the numbers in every count, but we're -- what we are aware of points strongly to murphy. >> don't go anywhere, we're going to talk about virginia in a moment. >> rehema, what are you hearing from voters? was this a more localized race or, in fact, a nationalized fight? >> reporter: you know they say all politics are local.

that's what a lot of people here were feeling. they were frustrated about issues happening in their state. even the candidate ended up at a stop the steal rally. he later apologized saying he went there by mistake. he didn't want to have anything to do with that. he wasn't endorsed by former president trump and didn't go seeking that endorsement. he told people in the wee hours of the morning when this race was really razor thin in terms of the returns, that he was very glad that he did not go seeking any help. he doesn't asking for any help. he was just looking to the voters of new jersey and what were they saying? people were frustrated here. a lot of them were talking about the economy. they were talking about taxes. high property taxes here. the highest of any state in the country. and there's also frustration with the handling of the virus. now that we are in the other side of the depths, if you will, and there is the vaccine mandates and the masking.

we've heard some angry reports from people about they did not want that to continue. the impact it had on small business and on keeping children out of school for a long time. it was a message that was resonating with voters as far as the republican candidate was concerned. >> congressman, so again, whatever the outcome in new jersey, it's going to be a surprise. no one expected ciattarelli to come as close as he has so far. republicans picking up manchin in the commonwealth of virginia. if they win jersey, it's a sweep. in your view, what happened? was this an actual national referendum, or was this the latest example of democratic voters not turning out for a nonpresidential election as history has shown? >> reporter: craig, this really shouldn't be too surprising when he look back at what has happened over the last decade.

all elections have become a lot more national as there are local issues in some states that played a role. education big time in virginia. at the end of the day, people follow national news a lot more than local news these days. and look at what happened in 2009. democrats had full control of the government. they pursued an ambitious agenda, infrastructure, health care. in 2009 republicans won the mansion in virginia. won the mansion in new jersey. then fast forward when republicans had unified control of government in 2017 and to 2018, they tried to repeal health care unilaterally without democratic support. they reformed the entire tax code of the united states without a single democratic vote. in 2018 there was a blue wave that obliterated the republican house majority, gave the house to democrats. and then shortly thereafter

republicans lost the senate. so look at what's happening now. democrats are pursuing an ambitious agenda. unilaterally using reconciliation, locking republicans out, and you're seeing voters starting to react to that. i think, craig, what democrats may want to do, and a lot of democrats don't want to hear this. listen to people like sinema and manchin trying to keep the party sober so they can avoid a repeat of 2010 in 2022. >> you don't subscribe to the notion that had democrats actually passed this ambitious spending plan, actually passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill, you don't think that would have helped them in virginia or new jersey? you think that would have hurt them? >> well, half. i think half of that is accurate. if the progressives had been not held the infrastructure bill hostage and democrats could have taken something, not just to their base but also to the centrist voters who end up

deciding a lot of close races saying look, we did work with the other side despite the way some republicans have behaved in recent months, we worked with them and got something good done for the country, but that bill was held hostage. and democrats had very little to show beyond a big covid relief package which was on top of a big bipartisan covid relief package that was passed in december of last year. so yes, i do think that the democrats holding that bill hostage and preventing it from passing really did hurt these candidates in virginia and new jersey. >> steve, let's talk about virginia here for a moment. we've covered new jersey. let's go to virginia now. give us the port mortem on the trends that stuck out to you in the commonwealth, and what happened that led to such a swing from what we saw in 2020? this is a state that you correct me if i'm wrong, joe biden won it by double digits? >> ten points.

and we've been talking for years about there's been a long-term trend in virginia going from a red state once upon a time to a swing state. after 2020 we said this is just a blue state now. it's moved too far away from the republican party. so what happened last night? well, let's start in the area that more than any other area in virginia had moved away from the republican party in the age of donald trump. that is northern virginia. the suburbs of washington d.c. here. densely populated. the biggest population center in the state. here's what i mean by how you're seeing loudoun county how it went last night. mcauliffe wins by ten. okay. the democrat won it. republicans were ecstatic to see this number. look how it turned last year. this was a 25-point landslide for joe biden in loudoun county last year. loudoun county was exactly what we saw throughout northern virginia. voters moving away from the republican party, donald trump became president and they began leaving in droves. one of the goals for the youngkin campaign was they

didn't think they were going to win loudoun county or northern virginia, but they didn't want to get blown out like this. so when they see a result like this in loudoun county, biden plus 25, mcauliffe plus ten, that's a huge win for youngkin. that's winning back some of the voters who had been lost to the republican party under donald trump. that alone would not have been enough. just making those end roads and losing northern virginia like that would not have been enough for glen yonging. he needed something else. go to southwest virginia right here. let's look at -- i'm going to show you one. this is a small county. this is i think the most dramatic example of something we saw throughout this entire region of virginia yesterday. look at this. glen youngkin wins allegheny county by 50 points. i want to show you something. one of the questions we had coming into last night was could he match donald trump's number in a place like allegheny county. youngkin exceeded it. check out this trend.

if you go back pretrump to allegheny county and this neck of the woods in virginia, republicans -- the democrats were in the game. mitt romney won al campaigny county by three points in 2012. trump got massive numbers when we came along. one of the questions yesterday was could a republican not named trump continue to run up the numbers? youngkin did even better. it was all of these small rural counties and cities. youngkin in one after another improved in trump support. he won back some of the suburbs. he didn't get to the old republican level in the suburbs, but he supplemented it with new republican strength in rural virginia. that's the combination that gets youngkin over the top. >> you mentioned the suburbs. chris, let's talk about the suburbs here in virginia for just a moment here. there's some interesting data from our exit polling on white women in virginia.

in that group, mcauliffe gained among college grads compared to joe biden in 2020, but he was ko eeed among noncollege educated white women. you can see trump beat biden by 12 points with that group. youngkin wins that group by 50 points. our senior editor over at the washington examiner, he had this analysis on this race. quote, turns out democrats in the donald trump era were only renting the suburban vote rather than owning it. you've had your finger on the pulse of this group for some time, chris jansing. what have you been seeing or hearing on the ground in virginia from suburban voters specifically? >> reporter: i've been here for five days. like they like to say in your home state, i've been getting an earful. a lot of frustration on both sides, but youngkin was able to channel the frustration of suburban voters in a couple big

areas and steve just pointed this out. a 15-point swing in loudoun county. that is huge. i mean, their expectations have been exceeded all across this state, including much of the suburbs. look, i heard frustration from democratic voters, women, white women over the weekend. they were concerned that youngkin's message was resonating on education, not just things like critical race theory. they said there are a lot of parents not being recognized. their kids have been home for the better part of 18 months in school, out of school, in school. yurngen spoke to that. they said mcauliffe didn't. and then the number one issue, according to the exit polls, the economy. mcauliffe talked a lot about his successes when he was governor before. but when people are complaining about the high cost of groceries and you have youngkin saying i'm going to get rid of the grocery tax, that's something that resonates with a lot of those suburban women. so i was at mcauliffe head

quarters last night. a lot of that frustration with the messaging was coming to the fore. let me play what one guy told me who i think represents a lot of the conversations that i had. take a listen. >> local elections are local. issues like schools dominate. so this was a bell for the democratic party. right now it's an alarm bell. if we don't stop fighting with each other, unite and get deliveries for the voters, it could be a funeral vote. >> reporter: it's so interesting. i talked to another democrat to this whole thing of elections are local and this was really a nationalized election. one of the frustrations, and i know i keep using that word of democrats. they said what mcauliffe didn't understand because he talked about trump. he kept trying to tie trump to youngkin, was what happened last year doesn't just about exhaustion from donald trump, anger at donald trump. it was also about the promises

that the democrats made, that joe biden made, that washington was going to be different, and that these suburban voters didn't see the change. >> chris jansing in virginia. chris, thank you. steve kornacki, a big thanks to you and your overworked big board as well. and rehema, thank you. and carlos karbela. we have more including key take aways from the viewpoint of a democratic source. in the last 25 minutes we got an update about the spending negotiations on the hill. and it's happening. parents across the country can take their children as young as five to get vvaccinated. >> we'll be the first ones like come on. let's into. he's a champion for getting his vaccine. more doses are shipping out to pediatricians offices as we speak. so what do parents need to know? what potential side effects, will they be different for

west virginia senator joe manchin speaking right now on the hill, talking about the ongoing spending negotiations.

also just made some news with regard to paid family leave. paid medical leave being back into the spending bill. >> i just think it's the wrong place to put it because it's a social expansion. right now i've said clearly that social expansion, especially on any of these, when you have deficits and solvency suchgs in mid care, and social security, and those are lifelines to people in most rural states but definitely in west virginia y. that's their lifeline and we're talking about expanding something we can't pay for now. they want to keep what they have. let's get our financial house in order and be able to tackle all of these. >> senator, in virginia, independents swung to glen youngkin compared to to 2020. what does that say about concerns about inflation? >> you can read so much into all of that last night. i think it's -- it should be a call to all of us have to be

more attentive to the people back home. i've been trying to do that from day one and saying this for many, many months. people have concerns. people are concerned. very much. and for us to go down the path that we've been going, they were trying to accelerate it, and this has been slowed down. i think we need to take our time and do it right. you can read anything you want out of it. the bottom line is -- >> reporter: what do you read out of it? >> we have a divided country that needs to be united. and you can't unite it with a one party system. >> okay. west virginia senator joe manchin there just speaking to reporters. you heard him talk about some of the spending negotiations taking place there on the hill. he also weighed in on what happened in new jersey. what's happening in new jersey right now. again, too close to call with regard to the gubernatorial race. we heard him weigh in on what happened in virginia. what you did not hear. we were in commercial break. the senator talked a little bit

about economic issues and inflation perhaps being one of the major motivating factors last night in new jersey and the commonwealth. monica alba is at the white house. ali is on the hill just spent some peppering the senator with questions. let's start with what senator manchin told you about paid leave and whether that was going to be a deal breaker. it seemed as if he was hearing it from you for the first time. that it was going back in the bill. >> yeah. he was. because if you remember, craig, yesterday we were talking about paid leave from the perspective to borrow a phrase from the princess bride, as a mostly dead policy in the reconciliation negotiations. advocates who i had been talking to as well as democratic lawmakers who were supportive of it did not think it was going to find a place in this larger social spending package. we heard from speaker pelosi who said that four weeks of family and paid sick medical family leave are in this bill. we broke the news it seemed to

manchin who repeated what he's said before. that he has concerns about recreating and bolstering social programs when ones that already exist remain insolvent. specifically with this, though, he also seems to have another objection of putting it in the reconciliation bill, period. he said just now that he has spoken to people like republican senator susan collins about doing something bipartisan on this issue. certainly there are democrats who would want to do that, but at the same time, many of them say that now is the time to do something on paid leave and that they want to see it in this larger social spending package. right now there is a disagreement in terms of what's in the bill if you talk to house democrats, they've got paid leave in theirs. if you talk to people like senator joe manchin, a key voice on this and who they need to keep it in, he's not for it at this point. what he continued to reiterate was he wants to take the time to do this right. while some democrats think they should have voted on both of these bills already, manchin is someone who has long said he

wants democrats in the house to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and he's not in any rush to move forward on the larger social spending package because of reasons he mentioned that our viewers may have heard. things like wanting to see how this larger piece of legislation is scored and the future financial impacts of it. and he also wants to see more time spent as they do things like overhaul parts of the tax code. those are manchin's concerns. they remain consistent. but at the same time, there is a big motivation here among democrats to finally get this done, and in the house, it does seem, and we heard this from speaker nancy pelosi against the backdrop of both the election results this morning, but then also against the backdrop of the changing pieces of policy, they're forging ahead in the house. the rules committee is going to meet. they're going to have new text to consider that includes things like paid leave, but also the prescription drug pricing deal they came to yesterday in the senate. those things are now headed to the rules committee and the house so they can forge ahead on this. again, it's got to be through

the rules committee to make it through the full house floor. pelosi on the path, but there are clear disagreements that have to be resolved. >> what did the senator from west virginia have to say about what happened in new jersey and virginia with regards to the election? >> he underscored the fact that this is a divided country. he said he has concerns about things like inflation. families going to the grocery stores, not being able to afford the things they need. he has said this in the context of the social spending package negotiations. but certainly this is something that he's now looking at anew in light of the results that we saw last night. and i thought it was interesting. there are some democrats here who say that this underscores for them the need for democrats to push forward on kitchen table issues like prescription drug pricing, like bolstering child care for american families who are trying to build out of this recession and out of the pandemic. at the same time, though, there are just as many democrats who are going to take away something slightly different, which is that this package needs to be

scaled back, that there are real economic concerns for americans that can be evidented by the results in places like virginia and new jersey. it was interesting. one other reporter asked do they think the biden administration is hearing that message? they asked manchin. manchin said i hope so. >> monica, let's talk about the president here for a moment. there continues to be a great deal of discussion about whether this was a referendum on the biden administration so far, or whether it was about other things. this is what our nbc news exit poll found. 49% of voters said that president biden was not a factor in their vote. 28 % side their vote was to oppose the president. 20% said their reason for the vote was to express support for the president. what are we hearing from the white house? and what's the mood like inside 16 00 pennsylvania avenue this morning? >> there is notable public silence so far today. of course, the president did return from that six-day trip to

europe late last night, returning closer to 1:00 a.m. he did not address reporters or answer any questions about those key races in virginia and new jersey. there's no white house press briefing scheduled for today. you can expect the west wing to do what really many of us are doing right now which is let the pundits and experts and analysts do the talking here. they're not going to try to get out ahead in front of this at this particular moment, because i think they are experiencing the same frustration and disappointment that many democrats are feeling, those lawmakers earlier today expressed more of that publicly, but we haven't heard that yet from the white house. but i am hearing from two democratic sources close to the west wing who have an insight into the political strategy here who have some major take aways from what we saw overnight in those races. and the first is that they feel they're going to try to galvanize this moment and clearly take what was voters' decision to be frustrated with

the inaction so far on capitol hill and try to see if that can be converted into momentum on the president's stalled agenda. the other major point here is that democrats are feeling like the only play book if you're running against a republican is to tie them to donald trump, that they may not be effective. but again, we're not hearing that yet from the president or from his top aides who are still huddled here behind closed doors digesting all of this. and that will hopefully be something that happens either later today or tomorrow, because they're going to have to come out and talk about this because in many ways this is widely considered a referendum on his young presidency so far. >> monica from the white house. ali on the hill. a big thanks to both of you on this wednesday. kids as young as five already started getting their covid vaccines just hours after cdc approval. but what are doctors saying to us parents who might be nervous about getting the kid the shot? we're going to break down what they should expect next. down wt they should expect next. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist.

and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

i have my vaccine, and life is going to be better. >> i can be back to normal in my classroom, and in the schools so we can have this altogether. >> you heard it there from that adorable little girl. recess together. shots have started going into the arms of children as young as five. now that the cdc has given the

final approval of the pfizer vaccine. nearly 30 million children are now eligible. nbc's morgan chesky is at texas children's hospital where shot are being administered. i want to bring in the harvard medical school physician. morgan, on the ground in texas, kids getting shots at texas children's hospital. what are you hearing from them? what are you hearing from their parents? >> good morning. this is the day a lot of parents have been waiting for for a long time. this was part of the process of trying to get lives back to normal in a post pandemic world. there was a crowd of parents there this morning lining up to get some of the first shots in those 5 to 11-year-olds. they told us essentially this will allow them to live a more normal life going forward. there has been a lot of apprehension. a lot of concern with the fact that the delta variant wreaked

so much havoc barely one month ago when it came through over the late summer and caused a lot of impromptu switches whether it be in class learning or whether it be sports teams as well. the parents view this new vaccine, this child option as a way to hopefully create a better family system all around. i want you to hear what one parent told us that had their child there earlier today. >> it was an easy decision for our family. we've been waiting for this for a long time. mateo is at risk. he has a severe asthma and a heart condition as well. so t just been a very long two years for us. >> and waiting to get him back into school. >> yeah. >> and right now we know that more than 35,000 children have been signed up for that pediatric vaccine here at texas children's. and we're also hearing from the state of texas today saying that a million doses are on their way

to texas to be administered through a variety of partners over the next weeks and months. there are 2.9 million kids here in texas that fall between that 5 to 11-year-old age range. and they -- we're told they're going to be partnering with a schools in addition to other local partners here in the coming days. >> all right. morgan chesky for us in houston. morgan, thank you. doctor, for a lot of adults the vaccine left them with a sore arm, a headache, maybe even a slight fever in some cases. what do we know about the side effects for children who are getting the shot or who are going to get the shot? >> so, craig, the children's vaccine is one-third the dose of the adult vaccine. we're seeing the side effects are typically minimal or mild. much less than the adults. kids can expect a sore arm, fevers, fatigue, low appetite,

and these last about one to two days. they're mild and resolve on their own. >> there are -- you mentioned the size of the dosage. help folks understand how a five-year-old would get the same size dose as an 11-year-old. >> so when we are deciding pediatric dosing, a lot of it is weight based. in the case of the covid vaccine, we also think about immune response. so different age groups. it's not perfect, but we think that the ages 5 to 11, the reason they need one-third of the dose is because that is what gives us an adequate immune response. we know that with the covid vaccine, it's 91% protective against getting infected with covid for this age group. and 95% effective at preventing symptoms of covid. covid in this particular age group is still the sixth leading cause of death. vaccination is critical for this group. >> what would you say to parent who is are watching or listening

on satellite radio who might still be skeptical despite the unanimous decision? >> craig, i am a physician. i am also a parent. there are so many physicians and parents within that fda regulatory committee and cdc panel. it was a unanimous decision. this was very heavily discussed. safety data was reviewed, and it is a safe vaccine. it is effective. and it is important to vaccinate our children. it is the way out of this pandemic. >> doctor, we have to leave it there. thank you as always for your time. thank you so much for your analysis. the nation's largest city now knows who its next mayor will be. while that race know not have been a surprise, there's more surprises in local races all over the country, including minneapolis, where the police reform movement was front and center. we're going to break down some key votes around the country next. s around the country next ♪

this morning new york city knows who the next mayor will be. adams will now be the city's 110th mayor. he also becomes just the second black mayor in new york city history. beating the republican. the democrat in boston now the first woman and first person of color to be the city's mayor in nearly 200 years. and in buffalo, byron brown. in june he lost his bid to get on the ticket in the democratic primary. in minneapolis there's a wrench in the police reform. they rejected a proposal to replace that city's police department and replace it with a department of public safety. it's a change police reform

advocates had been pushing for since the murder of george floyd. the city's police chief and mayor were against the proposal on the ballot. shaquille brewster is in minnesota for us. we were talking about it yesterday. voters who supported the proposal, how are they reacting and what's next for police reform in minneapolis? >> reporter: you know, the unique thing about this campaign is the idea that both sides, the people who supported this amendment and those who opposed it, both sides in the campaign were pushing the idea of police reform. even the mayor last night who was opposed to the amendment during his speech, he said the first thing he wants to do is enact true police reform in this city. the real difference was how best to get that police reform. opponents of this measure said that it wasn't through restructuring the city charter and eliminating the police department and instead having a department of public safety. advocates wanted the shift. they said it was going to force a conversation about how best to

rethink the public safety apparatus in this city. last night a majority of minneapolis voters, about 56% of voters, voted that down. they rejected that idea to change the charter amendment. i was at the party for the yes for minneapolis group. this was the group that collected more than 20,000 signatures to get this amendment on the ballot. while there was a lot of disappointment there, folks there said they weren't defeated. listen to what one woman told me. >> 60,000 minneapolis residents said yes. and i feel that really deeply. this is a year that among global pandemic, among economic crisis, among an incredibly well-funded opposition, we asked minneapolis residents to imagine something different even though that might be scary and hard. and 60,000 minneapolis residents said yes. >> reporter: you know, the consistent theme that i heard from folks who told me that they were voting no as i was standing outside of the polls yesterday is the idea that they were

uncomfortable with not knowing what that department of public safety would look like. they wanted that to be defined, especially in a city that is dealing with a rise in crime. a rise in murders. they wanted to have some certainty over what that department looked like. but if you talk to people who oppose this measure, the group, all of minneapolis it was called, a coalition group. they were running ads against this measure. they said they're not letting go of their calls for police reform. they're going to use that energy to keep pressure on the political leaders that have been reelected. >> shaquille brewster on the ground for us in minneapolis. meanwhile democrats held onto a house seat in ohio. it was a special election there. that district covers most of cleveland and akron. that seat was previously held by current hud secretary marcia fudge. look in secretary brown defeated prom in and about bernie sanders
