headquarters in new york city. millions of americans are still on pins and needles tracking vote counts. we're expecting new numbers tonight from two of the most crucial counties in arizona and nevada where senate races and the governor's race in arizona have yet to be called. how local election officials are snuffing out conspiracy theories before they can take hold. plus, president biden heading to cambodia as we speak, flexing new political muscle on the world stage. how the midterm ripple effect could affect the war in ukraine and america's relationship with china, just days before biden and xi jinping meet. a remarkable find if america's history with space travel. >> it's very rare to find something like this. we were blown away.

it was the last thing we expected to find. >> coming up, the story how divers searching for world war ii planes found a piece of the challenger. we start with the senate races in those three critical states. as more votes are counted it's looking better and better for democrats. we started hearing from republicans amping up their claims of election fraud. we heard it from donald trump late last night saying, quote, very strange things are happening with the votes cast in nevada and arizona. election officials have been here before. they pushed back hard against the former president. >> unfortunate comments like the one that came out today from former president trump gets certain people very fired up and they're convinced we are doing

things that are inappropriate or against the law. that's just not the case. >> in arizona where roughly 500,000 votes are yet to be counted there's this from kari lake. >> i think they're slow rolling our victory. they want to take the air out of this movement. they can't do it. >> we'll see when the results come in. >> it's offensive for kari lake to say these people behind me are slow rolling this when they're working 14 to 18 hours. i really hope this is the end of that now. we can be patient and respect the results when they come out. >> now let's get to antonio hilton in atlanta where walker and warnock are reupping their campaigns ahead of the run-off. stephanie gosk is in las vegas and vaughn hillyard is in

phoenix. vaughn, what's happening? >> reporter: we'll be getting more results released. last night there were 75,000 votes. tonight could give us an indication where the senate race is going, whether blake masters has a shot to win this and overcome the deficit he's facing. in the governor's race there's a very tight margin. we'll get about 40,000 ballots today that are going to trend in democrats' favor. those are the last mail ballots received. then there's the next batch of ballots that will give us a greater indication of whether blake masters or kari lake has a shot. those are hand delivered ballots by voters. republicans anticipate these going heavily in their favor. the question is by how much. that's the major question here. in the meanwhile what you're hearing kari lake talking about

intentional slow walking which there's no evidence of. you have mark finch the secretary of state candidate suggesting there are anomalies of the election results. no evidence of that. you have donald trump contending there's cheating. no evidence of that. individuals online are posting conspiracy theories which are getting propagated. maricopa county pushed back. there was a vote that made its way around town of a woman with glasses inside here. maricopa said not every woman with glasses is katie hobbs. please refrain from making assumptions about workers who wear glasses. there's a woman behind me in glasses and that ain't katie hobbs either. you see folks making excuses and conspiracy theories much like what we saw in 2020. chris? >> it's comical if it wasn't so

ridiculous and sad and potentially destructive that they had to put out a tweet saying no everybody with glasses is katie hobbs. stephanie, where do things stand in nevada? >> reporter: chris, the last couple days has been mail-in ballots. they have broken strongly for cortez masto. two thirds are going to her. we're at this point with about 50,000 mail-in ballots to be processed. unclear how many. if they continue to break the way they have been breaking cortez masto could be in the lead quickly. we're expecting to hear in the next couple hours how many votes will drop in clark county. you could potentially have cortez masto in the lead by the end of the day. >> we're going to be waiting for

that. antonio, as we wait to see how the votes break, control of the u.s. senate could hinge on the run-off in georgia. set the stage for us. what's happening there now? >> reporter: once again things could all come down to what happens in georgia. both candidates have already kicked off the new phase of their campaign. last night republican herschel walker held a large rally with senator ted cruz by his side. then raphael warnock held an event here in atlanta in which he really spelled out a new and very direct message in which he's clearly going to be going after more of the independent, middle of the road voters, the people who likely split their tickets, voted for kemp, but then voted for him to be senator. he's looking to get more people who might be in that category on

his side. he spelled this out as a campaign that's about competence and character, right and wrong. take a listen. >> we all knew this election would be close. i've done this before. we've done this before. we know how to win a run-off. >> reporter: the run-off is set for december 6th. people will be able to start voting early, just a couple days after thanksgiving. this is going to be different. there's no percent threshold. it's simply who gets the most votes. >> fascinating stuff from all of you. thank you so much. i want to bring in ryan nobles, jeff bennett, chief washington correspondent for pbs and carlos

cabello. he joins us from the meeting of world leaders in egypt. basil, it's been fascinating to watch how election officials have responded to these conspiracy theories, almost at the speed of light, pushing back in real time. has that had a role in keeping conspiracy theories from spiraling out of control? >> it's important it's being done. let me first say that. i think there are folks who want to keep these conspiracies going. kari lake started talking about this before the election was held. we see that for some republicans, some, they believe there's a benefit to keep this narrative going. the reality is that -- being a former party leader, i worked with a lot of election officials, democrats and republicans. they're committed to their work.

they care very deeply about the outcome of elections. quite frankly they don't want their lives threatened, the lives of their families threatened. not only is there a civic duty they're carrying out, they're also very concerned about their families. as time goes on and these deniers and lies keep coming out, you'll see more and more election officials coming out saying we have a job to do and we're not going to put ourselves, families or the legitimacy of our work at risk. >> or for that matter control of congress or control of state houses. look, carlos, nbc news has been tracking how election deniers

faired. look at these numbers. they won 7 and lost 24. is that a message from republican voters they don't want these conspiracy theories, they don't want this to dominate the gop playbook anymore? >> chris, that is one of the big stories of this election cycle. everywhere in the country in competitive races candidates who lie about election results were punished. that was done in a very obvious way in new hampshire. in georgia as well where people intentionally split their ticket to punish candidates who were lying about elections. what donald trump is doing, what kari lake is doing is a losing strategy. voters are sick of people lying about election results. politicians have had a bad reputation with regards to honesty at a long time. when you lie about something so obvious like the result of an

election, people do not tolerate it. these candidates are doubling down on a losing strategy and it's going to cost them. >> jeff, i want to read a member from the head of the michigan republican party. it says that it wasn't just voters who stayed away from donald trump backed candidates, but donors. quote, long time donors to the party remained on the sidelines despite constant warnings of the outcome we saw on election day. a statewide sweep and democratic rule in lancing, something not seen in near 40 years in michigan. that has to raise some, if not huge, red flags from republicans in washington who have to decide whether they'll stand with trump or not. what have you heard? >> it's a great point. donald trump is the de facto head of the republican party.

the gop is in many ways crafted in his image. the problem that donald trump has is that he's racking up a record of losses. he lost the house for republicans in 2018. he lost the white house in 2020. he lost the senate for republicans in 2021. now in 2022 republicans underperformed. trumpism will be around for quite a while. the gop has invested too heavily in it for it not to happen. donald trump himself, the question is will he be a diminished character and will there be other lawmakers who claim ownership of the trump mantle, whether it's ron desantis or brian kemp. think back to the 2020 election. after brian kemp did his job and refused to call the election for donald trump, donald trump made him public enemy number one. brian kemp didn't engage with trump at all.

he focus on his work and serving the people of georgia. he went in to the election with a plus 50 approval rating and he won handedly. there are republican lawmakers who are writing a blueprint with how you move forward with tax cuts, deregulation, border issues without the baggage that donald trump brings to the table. >> i want to go to capitol hill. a lot of democrats are saying why is kevin mccarthy already acting like he's speaker? >> reporter: the speaker's office itself, they put out a statement saying democrats have not given up hopes to hold on to the majority in washington. gave a stark warning to kevin mccarthy who is already measuring the drapes in the

speaker's office. they say, quote, in case he's forgotten the minority leader is still the minority leader and shouldn't count his chickens before they hatch. this is response to a letter that kevin mccarthy sent to republicans. pelosi and her team, they're not ready to say they believe they'll hold on to the majority. they're contending they have a path to do so. the path is more wide open for republicans and kevin mccarthy, part of why he's taking on such a bold statement to say he'll be the next speaker. it's in doubt and it's in doubt that even if republicans take the majority, that kevin mccarthy is guaranteed to hold on that spot. >> that's a good point. i want to play what we've heard.

>> kevin mccarthy has not done anything to earn my vote. there's a number of members of the republican conference who share the same concerns. i expect there to be a challenge. >> there's some serious questions about leadership in a time that there should have been a massive red wave. >> will you support kevin mccarthy for speaker? >> we're supporting folks that will empower members. >> carlos, what are you hearing? what's the chances that kevin mccarthy stays on as minority leader or becomes speaker? >> i heard that jim jordan has been calling members, asking them how they feel about the speaker's race. not declaring he's going to run or challenge mr. mccarthy, but taking temperatures. that leads you to believe there's an amount of members who may not be ready to commit to kevin mccarthy. i remind people, kevin mccarthy ran for speaker in 2015.

there were 248 house republicans and he couldn't secure the votes then. this time around there might be 220, 221, 222 house republicans. it's going to be harder. there's goodwill for kevin mccarthy in the conference. he's liked by many of his colleagues. this is an uphill battle for him. >> so interesting. thank you. president biden is abroad with unexpected momentum thanks to key midterm wins, but also an improving economy. does that translate to political power? plus, florida deja vu after nicole hammers the eastern coast. also secretary austin is speaking to vietnam vets. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. y on msnc

finally peaked. it gives biden an edge while meeting with world leaders to discuss climate change, the economy and the war in ukraine. >> the challenge is great, but our capacity is greater than the challenge. we must never doubt that. let's reach out and take the future in our hands and make the world we wish to see. >> let's bring in two of our nbc news colleagues. brian chung, carol lee, jeff bennett is back. brian, what's the data telling us? is the worst potentially over for the economy? >> talking about inflation seems like we did get some positive news that prices rose 7.7%. that's still bad, but it's lower

than 9.1%. >> wall street loved it. >> the dow went up by 500 points. economists are saying we want to be closer to 2%. we're very far away from that. it's going down. >> what people want to know is the cost of food going to go down, christmas presents? what might this impact? >> inflation is the rate in changes of prices, not the prices themselves. when we say we want inflation to slow down, doesn't imply we'll see price declines. food, shelter, which is the comfort term for rent and mortgage payments, as well as gasoline going up in october. we did see some price declines yesterday between september and october. apparel, toys, furniture, jewelry, price decline. >> carol, this meeting of world leaders comes at an opportune

time for the president. does that change his approach at any of these meetings? >> reporter: chris, it certainly according to white house officials gives the president momentum on the world stage. that's their view of things. as you said, this is not the position they expected the president to be in going into these various summits. their sense is that he heads into the meeting stronger politically back at home, but also with the good economic data. that emboldens the president in the white house's view as he goes into these meetings and tries to rally world leaders around various policies. it's particularly helpful in white house's view with the president meeting with president xi jinping. that's where the agenda is vast and president xi is coming into

that emboldened and president biden has momentum at his back. at the same time, the president can point to what the u.s. is doing economically and how those numbers, those inflation numbers, say that the u.s. is in a better position. he said the u.s. is doing better than other countries when it comes to dealing with global economy. he can make the case that world leaders need to continue to rally around ukraine. the war in ukraine has been a drag on the economy. the feeling is that the president is in a better position coming here, having democrats performing better than expected. if he was handed a number of losses, he would be seen as weakened and people wouldn't take him as seriously. >> jeff, i think 72 hours ago some world leaders were wondering whether president biden was becoming a lame duck. they could see the numbers.

they saw what happens happening. now they might look at him differently. my question is how much does this help his domestic agenda, if at all? >> it's a great point. the momentum accounts for a lot in politics and in international diplomacy and the national security adviser jake sullivan told reporters the president heads into this week of diplomacy with the went at his back, even as he's facing increased rivalry from china. carol mentioned his meeting with xi jinping. there's more provocations from north korea and the war in ukraine. the other thing that's important in the view of white house officials is the president can say there's semblance of normalcy returning to not just domestic politics, but international relationships. the u.s. can step in and fill this void that existed during the president trump era, during the era of america first policies. this comes back to your question

about domestic politics, we often hear the president say in his view, the chief challenge of this era, there's this fight between democrats and autocracies. democraies have to prove they can do big things. he can point to the infrastructure bill passed, the historic investment in climate change policy and he gets to say that democrats to some degree were rewarded for that. this is one of those things where in the view of the white house that electoral success begets electoral success. >> jeff, as the president's fortunes go up, the opposite can be said about vladimir putin. the war in ukraine continues to go downhill, particularly after russia's retreat from kherson. i want to play an assessment.

take a listen. >> vladimir putin's head is exploding. this has gone so badly. >> i wonder how putin's shrinking power is viewed on capitol hill and how it might impact decisions on how much aid to give ukraine. >> it's a great question, especially if the white house and hill leaders can make the connection between funding and zelenskyy's success in ukraine, especially with the retreat as you mentioned in key areas around ukraine from vladimir putin. it's one of those things we'll have to wait and see. if republicans do take the house, even with a single digit margin, democrats have more leeway in getting the funding and resources they want and need to send to ukraine, even if there are republicans who aren't so inclined to do it. >> thank you all so much. floridians now reeling from deadly tropical storm nicole

buildings actually give way. inspectors are looking at 22 condo and hotel buildings and doing the same thing. the problem is that the high tide, plus the storm surge undermined the sand that was under the foundation of those buildings. there are cracks, areas where you could see water bubbling up underneath. those buildings are being determined to be unsafe as well. it's possible as many as seven will have to come down. >> kerry sanders with that report, thank you. a quick programming note. this weekend msnbc presents a new climate change documentary, "from devil's breath." it zeros in wildfires and the toll they take on a community. that's sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern. you can also watch it streaming

today a growing fissure in the republican party whether to stick with donald trump or move on. disappointing midterm results by his candidates and republican ron desantis winning overwhelmingly. the sentinel wrote, the simmering rivalry exploded thursday. party members could be forced to make a choice between the two far earlier than expected.

four days from now trump announced he'll make announcement, likely kicking off his 2024. let's bring in kristin welker and basil and carlos rejoin us. basil, how wide is this gap going to be and how quickly will trump demand allegiances? >> nothing succeeds like success. he's upset there are people winning without him. his ego can't allow that to happen. i imagine he's going to beat this drum until republicans find a way to excise him from the party and the larger national conversation. it occurred to me that ten years ago was the first time you interviewed me and we were

talking about the republican postmortum after the 2020 election. the democrats are trying to use this movement and reform. the longer trump stays in the conversation i imagine you'll have more republicans leaving their party and voting with democrats. i'm not saying it's going to be a huge number, but it will be enough to replay a lot of the race that is we saw in the midterm elections. i imagine that republicans are looking at that and saying, we can't continue to let that happen. he can't continue to hurt our future, no matter what he's done. >> i'm making a personal note to celebrate that ten-year anniversary. thank you for that.

congressman, i think desantis has adopted an interesting strategy, basically not responding while he appears on television leading another hurricane response. whether or not donald trump is watching desantis on tv, what do you make of that dynamic? >> the hurricane has given ron desantis an excuse to ignore the former president, which makes the most sense for now. but, this is not something he's going to be able to do forever. at some point he's going to have to confront donald trump and he's going to do have to do so in a way that doesn't alienate the base. ron desantis came up through the trump system with the support of donald trump's base. he has to figure out this divorce in a very careful way or it could cost him. some people think if these two keep clashing, it could open the

lane for another candidate that isn't in the middle of this dispute. this is a very tricky time for the republican party and eventually we're going to have to hear a response from ron desantis. >> kristen, you covered the trump white house. what are your sources tell you about this event tuesday? is it a done deal? is he going to announce for 2022? >> reporter: i spoke to a source who says it's all systems go. that's the public message that former president trump is sending. he commented on this and said, what's the reason to delay? however, there is a divide within trump world. some of his allies are saying he absolutely needs to go forward with this announcement, that any change in plans would look weak. there are some allies -- jason miller said this. privately allies are saying he should wait until after georgia. they're haunted by the last georgia run-off where former president trump was calling the election results into question

and they believe that may have depressed turnout. there's this divide in the backdrop as former president trump seems to be inching closer to this announcement. >> basil, trump is mad at a lot of people. in his statement last night he went after the biggest player in conservative media. he wrote fox, "the wall street journal" and "the new york post" is all in for governor ron desanctimonious. that came after negative coverage from fox news. listen. >> we have a tremendous opportunity. donald trump should not be a part of that. i wish he would ride off into the sunset. >> the voters have spoken and said they want a different leader. >> going into 2024 the republicans are going to be looking for candidates who are focussed on winning, not just

making a point or settling a score. >> i wonder, basil, is this a lose/lose situation for republicans. if they abandon trump, they could lose his base, but if they stay with trump and keep his base, they could lose maybe a lot of other people. >> well, yeah. in that clip you heard the lieutenant governor of virginia and trump has gone after glenn youngkin. that might have to be the thin line that these leaders have to walk going forward. how do you align yourself with a base without embracing the man? it occurs to me that republicans vote like they vote in parliamentary election, for the agenda, not the person. that might be the way to go forward.

promote the agenda, but not embrace the man. he's not going to like that. he's going to be screaming from the roof tops for folks to pay him some respect. they have to find a way to tamp that down. >> we've only got a minute, congressman. could desantis be the guy that appeals to the trump maga base and party establishment? if not him, who? >> clearly he does have the support of trump's base. he did become governor of florida by earning donald trump's support which is why trump is so resentful of him right now. i can also tell you that he has the ambition and the ego to go up against donald trump. donald trump has a big ego. i would not put ron desantis' ego too far behind. that's one of the reasons why a lot of people think no matter what ron desantis will be running for president even if it means going up against his

whatever it is, it is really big. >> the first clue came when they cleared the sand. heat tiles. the same protective tiles that once covered the bottom of the country's space shuttles. mike barnett was the lead diver. >> definitely an aircraft. i think we need to talk to nasa. >> was it the heat tiles that made you realize you may have found a piece of challenger? >> definitely. when we saw this piece of wreckage, it is clearly upside down, because the heat tiles are on the bottom of the shuttle, on the bottom of the wings and the main body of the orbiter. >> the divers showed the video to nasa jeer -- nasa engineers, the verdict was clear. challenger was lost in a horrific explosion on a cold day in january, 1986. >> the challenger going throttle up. >> all seven astronauts including teacher in space christa mcauliffe died.
