good morning. 10:00 a.m. eastern,:00 a.m. pacific. and we start with a new win for democrats. and nbc news projects katie hobbs will be the next governor of arizona defeating her trump backed opponent kari lake. up on capitol hill, control of

the house still undetermined. and steve kornacki are break it down for us at the big board. and we'll talk to alex dill pa dill la what comes next for congress. and president trump set to announce his presidential run despite pushback. >> do you believe that donald trump should ever be president again? david, i think that is up to the american people. but i think that we'll have better choices in the future. >> also this hour, we are learning more about the lives lost in the recent shooting at the university of virginia. we'll bring you a live report from charlottesville. and in kenya, nbc news got an inside look in to the ongoing hunger crisis, how people are coping and what it means for the future.

and we begin in assist as, katie hobbs has defeated kari lake for cuff. it was a key win for democrats by flipping the seat and defeating an election denying candidate. joining us now is steve patterson. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: you know, with 60,000 outstanding votes, 98% of the vote in, hobbs the projected winner, this shook out really in a few ways. first of all, kari lake just simply ran out of votes at the end of this thing. just you can taking to people on the ground, the expectation, the vibe was that she was running a very aggressive campaign. she expected to jump out to a big lead on election day. and that did not happen. and hobbs jumping out to a significant but slight lead. and so kari lake is telling her supporters that essentially you

have to be worried about the election process to bring in your ballots, your mail-in ballots on election day, that there would be a flood of support every subsequent day. and every subsequent day we did see support for kari lake, but in cases where those votes had to come back as hooks, they came back as jabs. and as the exponentially compounds every day, those hooks then neededaymakers and they were still jabs until the knockout punch last night. and it seems to be a full throated rebuke of denialism in the state of arizona, ground zero for essentially a part of the soul of this country from secretary of state to senator to now governor, voters who now really line up in three different ways, independent, republicans democrat, almost along those lines perfectly in a core of more moderate people that probably voted for mccain

all their lives didn't feel like kari lake was speaking to them so they went the other way. will kari lake concede? most likely no. she tweeted that arizonians though b.s. when they see it. will she challenge the election, that remains to be seen, whether or not it is legally, whether or not she bring as team on the ground. we don't know what her advisers are telling her. but the expectation is no. we know at this hour that katie hobbs was contacted by the president. but it is still important to say that those 60,000 outstanding votes are still being counted, it is within about 0.8%. if it goes down to 0.5, that can trigger an automatic recount in which case we won't know the true result under about mid-december. >> steve patterson, thank you very much. and let's turn now to the house of representatives, control of the house remains uncoaled this morning with 14 races still

undecided. a party needs to secure 218 seats to hold the majority. joining us now with the latest is steve kornacki at his big board. so where do things stand this morning? >> yeah, good morning. where things stand is the path is pretty clearly opened up for republicans to get to that majority. republicans have at least 215, democrats have 207. there are 13 uncalled races, but democrat versus republican races, there is also one of those in california where it is a democrat versus a democrat. so for the sake of this, we're just calling this that a democratic seat. and so 13 uncalled races. you can see overnight three more were called for the republicans, those two in arizona were very big. and just as katie hobbs is winning that governor's race, republicans were actually picking up votes in the first

district, the sixth district, these were i think democrats to have a path to 218 badly needed. they both go republican. and they also called the sixth district of oregon overnight for democrats. but for the republicans, magic number to get to 218 is now three. from this list anything in white here is uncalled. they got to win three of them and you can find pretty quickly where they might find those three start like the 45th district of california, republican incumbent michelle steel, she got some undated votes overnight. she extended her lead slightly. look at the 27th district, mike garcia, this is one of the closest house races in the united states two years ago, a rematch, this time garcia up considerably. christy smith all be conceded the race on twitter. so again if republicans hold on to the 45th to the 27th, they also got good news last night in a vote update in the 41st district. ken calvert, a small lead but it

is a lead and it grew yesterday by about 1500 votes with about two-thirds of the vote in there. and republicans also very hopeful about the third district of california, only about half the votes in, but again you see a lead there of about 10,000. and i just went through four of them. if they won just three of those four, they would hit that number. so democrats would have to pull a surprise in at least in a couple that i just showed you, they would have to win basically everything else on this board too. there are some left here that i think democrats are well positioned in, but in terms of getting to 218, there is a clear path at this hour fors to do that. and they would like obviously to get a little bit more than 218, you know, so they have at least a little bit of breathing room with that majority. but 218 is the bare minimum for majority and they just have to hang on in those three of those four that i showed you and that would give them the bare minimum for majority. but obviously 218/217 would be an uncomfortable majority.

they certainty would like to get it up to 219, 220, even 221. there are some opportunities for them to grow it too as there are some opportunities for democrats to make it uncomfortable for republicans. but certainly it is uncalled right now, but the path to 218 is clear for republicans. >> and so on california specifically from 53% to two-thirds of the votes counteds as of, you know, one week plus one into this, do you have any idea of how long this process is going to continue, the counting of the votes in california? >> yeah, it will continue for a while. and we got word, we've been keeping an eye on the 22nd district, apparently this one will be extra slow in the central valley. you can see they are up to 40% in right there. so i think to get to all of the votes tabulated in all of these california districts, you are still -- you know, we'll still be talking about it next week i expect. but in terms of having a sense where some of these key races

stand, what the trends are in reaching a place where potentially the decision desk can make calls on them, i think that that could come sooner than all the votes being counted. >> steve kornacki, always appreciate all the information that you give us. thanks. >> you got it. about three hours from now, house republicans will be gathering behind closed doors to choose their leader for the next congress. conservatives are using the vote to send a message to house republican leader kevin mccarthy that he does not have the 218 votes needed to be speaker. arizona congressman andy biggs told newsmax that he will challenge mccarthy in today's elections. all this as a group of more than 60 prominent conservative figures including ginni thomas and mark meadows urging house and senate republicans to hold off on leadership elections until after the georgia runoff next month. with us now to talk with this is jake sherman, founder of punch bowl news. so what is mccarthy's path to

218 votes? >> it is a two step path. number one, he needs to go into this closed party meeting today and get a simple majority of republicans. that is something like as steve pointed out 109, 110, 111 votes. that is not expected to be a big problem for mccarthy. he's won the simple majority votes many times in his ten or so years in leadership. then he has about 49 days from now until january 3 during which needs to gather 218 republican votes. that is the challenge. that is going to be difficult for him. not impossible. most people expect that he will end up there. but that is going to be the big challenge. what he has to do to get those 218 votes is a lot of wheeling and dealing, a lots of concessions on how he will run the house with a slim majority after a disappointing election night. and i think that we'll see that play out over the next couple weeks. what everybody should keep in mind is that he doesn't have the votes now. he is not expected to have the

votes now. the question will be by december 30th, 31, january 1, 2, does he have those votes. can he go to the house floor and win a speaker election. and by the way, even if he doesn't have the votes, i anticipate that he will go to the floor and try to twist arms on january 3. >> meanwhile, eight republican senators are trying to delay their party's leadership elections set for tomorrow. could we potentially see a challenge to mcconnell? >> not a serious one, no. no chance. mcconnell has the support of well more than half of the republican conference in the senate. eight senators were indicating that they want to delay means that the rest of them or the vast majority of the rest of them are for mcconnell, are in favor of mcconnell for leader. if mcconnell felt like he didn't have the votes, he would delay it. the fact that is he not delaying it says to me and everybody else that he does have the votes. he said yesterday of course i have the votes. so i don't think that this will be a big challenge. there is no one even running

against mcconnell. so i'm not sure what they want the delay for besides just to mess with mcconnell. but, no, i expect him to win easily. >> and is this different than what we've seen during other past leadership elections at the house for example? >> not in the house. the house -- the speaker no matter what party is out there, what party is in the majority, always has challenges. nancy pelosi lost dozens of votes in her internal caucus election a couple years ago. paul ryan lost 43 votes in a much larger majority back when he ran in 2015. so, no, i don't think that this is anything new on the house side. on the senate side, i think the level of discontent with mcconnell who is of course in the twilight of his career is relatively new, but still, we have to keep it in perspective. mccarthy and mcconnell are likely to win with a relatively easy path to power. >> jake sherman, always great seeing you. thank you for being with us. and with us now to talk about what is happening on the

other side of the aisle, alex padilla who was just freshly reelected or elected to the senate. i thank you for being with us. how are you? >> good, good to be back with you. last tuesday is now behind us, so personal privilege, big thank you to the voters of california for placing their trust in me once again and especially to angela and our lee boys for their love, support and their sacrifice to allow me to continue to serve. >> latino senator representing the state of california, good to see you. and i want to just go on this issue of last tuesday. what do you think the message is that voters sent during last week's midterm elections? >> i think that there was a few messages starting with what happened before the election. you know, as you and i have talked several times, i kept repeating democrats have a

strong story to tell. you know, we've dliched when it came to a better covid response with the american rescue plan, and on the "inflation reduction act," the confirmation of federal judges, a lot to be proud of and the voters heard our accomplishments. and i think trusted us to continue to do the work in the senate side. and i also think voters sent a message that they said no to election deniers in so many states across the country running for so many offices. they also said yes to abortion rights. the response to the extreme decision by the supreme court on the dobbs case made a tremendous impact which is why you see voters turning out to keep the senate in democratic hands and much smaller margin on the house side than i think a lot of republicans anticipated. >> and certainly if the republicans do take control of the house, what do you think legislatively you are looking at

over the next two years? >> that is a big question. good news is with the democratic majority on the senate side, we'll be able to continue confirmations of administration officials, federal judges. from a policy perspective, i think it depends on which wing of the republican party ends up running the house. if it is a more rational and reasonable republican leadership there, then i think that there is things like continuing to invest in infrastructure that is absolutely a possibility. this f. they are listening to the voter, then i think that we make progress on codifying reprouk productive rights into federal law, codifying marriage equality. but it is the wing that continues to deny the outcome of elections, that climate change is real and continues to try to

strip away our right, then we have a fight on our hands and guess what, we're ready. >> and senator, if there is some possibility of some compromise agreements, immigration, i knows it is something that you are focusing on, issues like daca for dreamers, issues that have the overwhelming support of the american people. is that something that you think could possibly be carried out? >> i'm always keeping hope alive on that. look at what just happened in the state of arizona. so much attention on several races in arizona from the senate to the governor to the attorney general. secretary of state and house races. the people of arizona following california's lead and that of a handful of other states saying undocumented immigrants, dreamers who have grown up in this case in arizona should be able to attend college with in-state tuition levels. so support for dreamers is absolutely there and there is no reason that we should not take

care of it in this lame duck session. the urgency is there, too many living in limbo because of the case that has been brought against the daca program. if republicans who tell me that they are for dreamers, say it loudly and let's vote accordingly. >> is that something you think that even if it is not carried out in this lame duck that it is something that maybe you could see going forward past january? >> i'm encouraged had we may be able to do this lame duck session. the election is behind us. those who were cared of any blow back, they should have the courage do it now. dreamers deserve it sooner rather than later. but we also need help dreamer, we need to help farm workers, other folks in the food industry. my first bill was to provide a pathway to citizenship for all

essential workers. so there is a lot to do here including being smarter about how we handle security at the border in a much more humane way than we've seen in years past. >> senator padilla, i thank you for your time. >> good to see you. and coming up, an abrupt change in president biden's schedule after meeting with world leaders at the g-20 in indonesia. what made him skip tonight's gala dinner? but first, how the january 6 investigation could impact former president trump's expected third run for president. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports. g jose diaz-balart reports. stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin? for softer clothes that are gentle on your skin, try downy free & gentle downy will soften your clothes without dyes or perfumes. the towel washed with downy is softer, and gentler on your skin. try downy free & gentle.

the abcs of ckd a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors. kerendia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood. ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium. kerendia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, remember, k is for kidneys,

and if you need help slowing kidney damage, ask your doctor about kerendia. well, we fell in love through gaming. but now the internet lags and it throws the whole thing off. when did you first discover this lag? i signed us up for t-mobile home internet. ugh! but, we found other interests. i guess we have.

21 past the hour. this morning georgia governor brian kemp is expected to testify before a special grand jury on election interference. and blayne alexander is joining us from atlanta. what does the grand jury hope to learn from the governor? >> reporter: well, we understand that the governor is inside the fulton county courthouse, he's been there about an hour or so. remember all of this testimony is happening behind closed doors but the d.a. laid out a rather lengthy laundry list of who she hopes to hear from the governor. all of it centering back to any sort of conferences that the governor had with former

attorney general and is he specifically wants to ask him whether he had any conversations with the former president about being pressured to take action or whether or not they were conversation with his campaign team about the allegations made, false allegations made about georgia's elections here. and so all of that is something that she hopes to get from him. remember, we certainly know what happened on the other side of this. we know that -- we saw the public attacks from former president trump to governor kemp, we saw him get behind an unsuccessful primary challenger because the governor didn't take action to overturn the results here. but largely the conversations that led up to that have been largely private. so we know that that is what is going to be asked later today. of course all of this is behind closed doors. this is off of a so-called silent period that the d.a. had around the election here in georgia, but of course that has now come to an end and the governor is testifying today. >> blayne alexander, thank you

so much. in a matter of hours former president trump is expected to announce his third bid for the presidency despite reluctance from his fellow republicans displayed by the midterm results. even trump's former prpd is pr vice president is urging his party to move on. >> and where was the president in all of this? >> i was at the capitol. i wasn't at the white house. >> and when you learned later that he was watching all this unfold on tv? >> i can't account for what the president was doing that day. i was at a loading dock in the capitol where a riot was taking place. >> why wasn't he making these calls? >> that would be a good question for him. >> this as the house january 6 committee is weighing new steps after trump refused to comply with a temperature to hand over documents and sit for an

interview with the panel. trump filed a suit against the committee last friday seeking to block that subpoena. joining us now is vaughn hillyard from west palm beach and also chuck rosenberg. and so vaughn, what can we expect to hear from the former president tonight? >> reporter: you know, look, he is in the middle of these layers of investigations into him and after a tough week in which numerous trump backed candidates lost from michigan to wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona, this is a moment here where he is seeking to essentially push aside the political consequences of these midterm elections and make this announcement for president regardless here. again, despite these investigations centering around him. now, the big question here is where is, number one, the republican electorate around him, but also the republican elected officials, the republican party apparatus, you

heard from senator yesterday suggesting that ron desantis should be the future of the party. and mitt romney said he equatsed donald trump to being an old pitcher, one who should step off the mound. and you heard bill cassidy speaking with chuck todd suggesting that look at the 2022 candidates that lost, those candidates who were looking towards the past for the 2020 election. yet all we have heard from the former president here is an individual who is continually trying to press the 2020 election conspiracy theories, you saw him repost more than 64 memes over the past 24 hours on truth social ask the suggesting that he should be the future of the party and that he is going to rise again. and this is a moment for the former president in which he is going to try to undercut florida governor ron desantis who is eyeing his own run and as well as virginia governor glenn youngkin. and this on the very day that mike pence is releasing his own book reflecting on the january 6

insurrection and a moment in which america watched the former president try to overturn the 2020 election. but at this moment, the question is to what extent does this republican party try to push back because it appears that he will be going at it with or without them. >> and meanwhile, chuck, the house january 6 committee has accused trump of hiding from them and will be evaluating next steps. how does a presidential run change that or does it? >> it may not. i don't mind it the least bit surprising that mr. trump failed to comply with the subpoena. he made some noises after receiving it that he wanted to testify and do it publicly, but those who watched him closely knew that was largely untrue. so what does the committee do now? whether or not he runs for president, the committee will likely expire when republicans take control of the congress. so they have a small window to do anything.

it could vote to hold him in contempt and then refer that to the department of justice for prosecution. they have done that on four occasions. twice the department of justice indicted the person referred and twice they did not. i don't imagine that that will happen here. i don't imagine that mr. trump will be indicted for contempt. i think that there are more serious and more important investigations of him and those should be ongoing. >> and so the doj, the question will be -- instead of the committee, let's talk about the doj. would the announcement by donald trump that he is running again shape in any way their decisions on whether to charge trump or not? >> yeah, such an interesting question. is the investigation and prosecution of a former president is complicated. and i imagine what mr. trump is trying to do is make it more complicated. the department of justice has a policy and that is not to take any overt investigative steps near the time of an election,

near the time of an election, for the purpose of interfering in an election. we are nowhere near an election. so department of justice policy on election interference doesn't really come into play. but again, investigating and prosecuting a former president is always complicated, always messy, and i imagine that one thing that mr. trump is trying to do is make that bit messier and a bit more complicated. >> chuck and vaughn, thank you very much. and up next, new attacks on residential buildings in kyiv. we'll get a live report from the ground there. and later, how the three student-athletes killed in a mass shooting the uva are being remembered. remembered in this family, it's the scientists versus the artists.

we're following breaking news out of ukraine. this morning two apartment buildings were struck in kyiv while several other missiles were shot down by ukrainian air defenses according to the city's mayor. and joining us from kyiv, molly hunter. and molly, what can you tell us about what happened? >> reporter: new numbers in for you from ukrainian officials. we heard the air raid siren a couple of hours ago and we're still not clear from that siren from that alert. now, the ukrainian air force says 80 rockets have been launched across the country, 20 more there still expecting. this is the broadest ariel attack that we've seen since the beginning of the war, bigger than october 10 which of course was a coordinated cruise missile attack. now, the state energy company

says every single region was hit, there were structures, critical infrastructure damaged in every region that knocked out power for civilians. officials there kharkiv, lviv and kyiv confirm that critical infrastructure was hit, at least two apartment buildings, one five stories, were hit in kyiv. the office of the president has released video of one of those buildings burning. they say that there are rescuers on the scene. no word yet on victims or the extent of the damage. and in the country there are emergency rolling blackouts which means that many civilians are now in the dark. >> molly hunter, take care and thank you for being with us. up next, why the white house says president biden had to change his schedule at the g-20 summit. we'll get the latest reporting on the president's there into bali next.

food with every purchase. 38 past the hour. today president biden joined fellow world leaders for the g-20 summit. and he was expected to participate in the dinner gala, but the white house announced a change in his schedule and he ended up not going. joining us from bali is peter alexander. and also with us is u.s. ambassador president of the chicago council on global affairs and form he is u.s. ambassador to nato. peter, what more can you tell us about the president's change there? >>. >> reporter: this was an abrupt change. he was scheduled to go to the gala dinner where the leaders of the 19 nations all gathered together here hosted by the prime minister for a special evening. but just before the president

was scheduled to walk down the red carpet, we heard from the traveling press that he'd be returning to his hotel, that was notkarine jean-pierre telling m that he did not have covid. he did have a cold and he had a long day and he needed to return to the hotel to focus on other matters. back at home in the united states. and that in her words there was nothing urgent. i asked if it was a health issue and she said no. nonetheless it was a little striing given so much of what is happening here is the grip and grinning. salman and lavrov were there and and also some of the closest friends were in attendance. >> and what does the president have on his schedule for the

remainder of the trip? >> we're told by the white house that he will return to the scheduled activities tomorrow including an event celebrating efforts to combat climate change with a plant of a tree. he will do it with the prime minister of indonesia. and he will also meet with the new prime minister of the uk. and there may be other meetings that he has on the shri sidelin that was not announced. we learned today that he did meet with president erdogan and we also prime minister modi of india taking place today. the president is scheduled to leave here middle of the day our time, middle of the night your time as he returns back to washington. >> and you spoke with janet yellen, and what did she have to tell you?

>> reporter: we did speak to her on the sidelines here. she'll be meeting with governor of the central bank, one of the lead finance ministers. and the effort is to try to work as a global community to try to combat supply chain issues that have existed, inflation that is a global issue, and i asked her specifically about inflation in the u.s. and what americans should expect. and given the fact that just last week, we did see what is called the cpi, we saw the year over year inflation was down to about 7.7%. here was our exchange. >> how long do we live in this climate? >> i think the next couple of years i definitely think that inflation will come back down toward normal levels we're accustomed to. i don't want to forecast on a

month by month basis. all right and she said that it could be a couple years before it returns to a benchmark that the 2% that the united states government would be looking for it to be at right now, about the layoffs we've seen, she says the market remains hot, but perhaps a little less hot than before. >> and peter alexander at 11:42 p.m. in bali, thank you for being with us. appreciate your time. and ambassador, let's talk about this. i want to just touch on the issue of the president meeting with xi jinping and he said that he does not believe that we're in another cold war but tensions are high. how can the u.s. and its allies address china and particularly on the issue of taiwan? >> it was an important meeting for the two leaders to have in order to kind of take each other's temperature. they hadn't met for a long time

in person. talking over the phone is not the same as doing so in person. and i think the president set out to make two things very clear, one is that there are aspects of china's behavior that are contrary to our interests and we'll address those aspects directly by competing vigorously as he said with china on the economic realm to make sure that there is no improvement over time with its military capability, and to deal with the challenge that china poses to the international system at large. and that includes making very clear changing the status quo through use of force on taiwan is something that the united states is not going to be able to tolerate. yes, taiwan is part of one china and the u.s. maintain as one china policy, but any change in the status quo has to be

peaceful. and i think challenges that we face around the globe, and it requires economies to collaborate. and that opens up the resumption of talks on climate change and very important agreement to start opening up channels of communication with secretary of state antony blinken planning to go to beijing early next year. >> and i want to take you back to europe. president zelenskyy addressed the g-20 summit and he said that russia needed to fully withdraw its forces from all of ukraine in addition to nine other demands before they would end hostilities. how far away are we from reaching that? >> very far away from it. and just remember what we saw this morning. massive missile strikes on kyiv, on other cities in ukraine.

bombardment of civilians by the russian forces just as word world leaders are meeting in bali. it really is time and one hopes that in response to what we have just seen that the world leaders including china's president xi jinping importantly prime minister modi of india step up and say that there are ways in which nations direct. wars of aggression are not one of them and we need to come together and find a solution. and that solution i think as. >> melissa: president zelenskyy made clear, it cannot be that it gains from aggression. it has to stop fighting. if russia would go back to russia proper, not the annexed part, this war would be over.

55 past the hour. this morning investigators are trying to uncover a motive in the shooting on sunday at the university of virginia. devon chandler, and the other two were juniors on the football team. joining us is ryan nobles. what else have we learned about the victims? >> reporter: josé, we have learned quite a bit about the

two victims also involved in the shooting but survived that shooting. one in particular is mike collins, a member of the football team and he has gone through two different surgeries, and last we heard he was having surgery this morning. his mother put out a plea to the rest of the community and football team for prayers, and she tweeted this, family, mike will be going in for his second surgery at 8:00 a.m. keep praying. and please keep praying for all the families going through this horrific tragedy. this comes against the backdrop of investigators trying to figure out what led to this shooting. the suspect, you mentioned, facing multiple murder charges. he was expected to be arraigned this morning but the officials here have pushed the arraignment back tomorrow as they still process paperwork. we hope when this arraignment happens and we will learn more about the charging documents and it will help to shed some light

on the motive here. the community trying to recover from the awful tragedy, and a vigil last night had more than 1,000 students. this is a community that has been through a lot and this adds to the long list of difficult thinks they have had to deal with. another major round of layoffs set to hit the tech industry. amazon is set to layoff nearly 1,000 workers, making it the largest round of job cuts in the company's history. joining us with the latest is nbc's stephanie gosk. when are these layoffs set to begin? >> probably this week, according to the "new york times." we reached out to amazon for comment and you have a couple things, the tech industry in general for the last decade have been exploding and this may be what we are seeing, this course

correction in the economy when it comes to the twitter layoffs, the meta layoffs as well. with amazon, you have something else as well. during the pandemic, their retail business exploded with people at home not going to stores and getting deliveries, and that has changed, and peoples' purchasing habits have changed and they are going to stores. you also have inflation and that's having an impact as well, and on top of all this, and this could be a psychological thing, and you have jeff bezos with his fortune saying he is giving it away to charity, and i bet those losing their jobs would like a little as well. >> thank you. we are counting down a historic launch into space, and they are setting up a permanent
