when it comes to doug jones, he is an outgoing senator. notable because yesterday when biden was doing that interview with nbc news, he was asked about other senators who have been jockeying for key positions. specifically elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. sanders has been very vocal about wanting to be labor secretary, and biden made the point while he rules nothing out, it is very difficult with the ball, of power in the senate being as it is to start pulling out current sitting senators and further throwing that into flux. >> thank you so much, and while ali was talking, we just got word from our producer in beijing that chinese leader xi jinping congratulated joe biden on election of president and offered his congratulations even before president trump has. brings us to peter alexander at the white house. peter, biden doing something that would typically be presidential, which is giving a thanksgiving message today. meantime, there are reports that the president may be headed to pennsylvania, right? for a republican hearing on voter

it has never been about doug jones or the jones family. about a always been state, a state we all love, a state we care about. a state that has gone through massive changes over the years. and we are in the process of going through those again. we have seen so many different things that have happened over the last few years. we have seen so many good things and positive things. but at the end of the day, alabama is still a work in progress. we know that. alabama still ranks low in education. we still rank high in unhealthy outcomes. westill rank in a place that want to make sure we can do better. those are the things we are going to continue to work on. those of the things that you have been working on with me for the last three years. for that, everybody in alabama to be appreciative. i know i am. i know there are folks in washington, d.c. that are. as we go forward, we are not going to stop, because one of the things that we all know -- when we came up and started coming out, and we came out of last year with "one alabama," we meant it.

the gop flipped a seat in alabama where former college football coach tommy tuberville defeated doug jones and in maine incumbent republican susan collins held on to her seat as it south carolina, republican lindsey graham. now those were all seats that democrats thought that they had a legitimate chance to win. meantime speaker nancy pelosi is on track to keep control of the house. well not all propositions passed that's including the ones that poll suggested would pass without a prop for a problem proposition 15 chipped away attacks. protection on commercial properties, lot of folks who are concerned about this now if passed it would have dramatically increase taxes taken in by cities and also by the counties proposition 16 looked at repealing proposition 2 '09 that actually blocked affirmative action at schools and public employees are public construction contracts and then there is proposition 25 calling for the no cash bill for those arrested for a crime. the chief justice of the california supreme court supported this as did many other democrats including governor newsome however, th

democrats losing a senate seat in alabama after former auburn football coach tommy tuberville defeated doug jones. in north carolina, senator thom tillis in a close race overnight against democratic challenger cal cunningham who stressed his service in the iraq war and as a u.s. army reserve officer, but in the final weeks of his campaign, cunningham admitted to sending suggestive text messages to a political strategist who was not his wife. the democrats' first flip coming in colorado. republican incumbent cory gardner losing to john hickenlooper, the former colorado governor and 2020 presidential candidate. >> clearly people are saying it's time to turn the page. it's time for a different approach. >> reporter: we are also learning incumbent republican senator joni ernst won in iowa. incumbent steve daines won in montana. in georgia a special election senate race will go to a runoff between kelly loeffler and warnock. so far mark kelly is winning against martha mcsally. democrat was need to gain four seats to seize the chamber or three seats if biden wins the white house. mona, kenneth. >> zohr

hickenlooper being cory gardner, the former alabama coach, to prevail winning that race against doug jones. and then astronaut mark kelly upsetting incumbent martha mcsally. as you pointed out, susan collins wins six more years from and lisa murkowski supporting the president-elect joe biden. what is the shape of the conferences in the senate look like? guest: that's a really great question. not -- the turnout did was not as positive as democrats had hoped it would be and as the polls suggested, i don't think there will they will be as emboldened even though the majority in the house stays democrat and in the senate potentially you could have a tie with a tiebreaker by kamala harris. where democrats would technically be in the majority. i think that's less likely actually. if i were to say what i think was cannot happen, i suspect the majority will remain in gop hands. but it's a slim majority. at best they will only have 52 seats. they had 53. that does not give them room to do anything. secondly, they don't have anything pat -- any power to pass things. we have divided government governm

alabama, doug jones, the numbers are not good. down by 12. former auburn head coach. despite raising a lot of money can't seem to turn it around. colorado, a very popular name in the swing state. it is not only his name recognition, early voting earlier, 500,000 new voters in the state of colorado, a quarter million switching parties. that helps a democrat. and finally, mcsally, a tough race, mark kelly, the astronaut. the trending in the past two weeks, mcsally is hitting higher numbers, kelley, hitting lower numbers, this could be very close. looking at the senate at the moment right now, a lot of things happening together. based on the data. too close to calls. >> how are the presidential race affecting those races? >> 88% of the time, since 2012. where the white houseuent is where the open seats in the senate went. if you are looking at the open 12 seats, 10 seats will go one way or the other, if you are looking at this statistics. from 2012. in the 1980s, it was the we will see what happens in 2020. joy biden with a big lead, there are questions whether they are

doug jones in alabama will probably lose which means democrats have to pick up 4 seats overall but coloradoand maine are looking good for democrats. very bad for republican incumbents. you have numbers, two in georgia, one in iowa, montana is close, south carolina is competitive, where if they pick up one of any of those, it would give them 50-50 with a tiebreaker and a vice president. tom: measure the coattails. jack: the key states are looking good for biden, at least competitive. in some cases, down ballot democrats are outperforming. arizona, mark kelly is consistently ahead of joe biden. it is possible to see democrats pick up that senate seat and biden lose the state. there are a number of moderates performing well, probably helped by the biden candidacy. they don't have to respond to on someone like bernie sanders but are doing quite well on their own. worry aboutould we the polls being wrong? jack: it is possible they could be wrong. i'm not saying this is absolutely done and the cake is baked. one state to look closely at is pennsylvania. i checked the real clear politics pulling a

that is in alabama, or senator doug jones lost his seat to tell me to prevail. -- two tommy to reveal. -- two tommy tupper ville. if thom tillis hold onto his seat in north carolina as well, they could net three seats in the senate, and the reason i bring that up is because if joe biden's president, democrats would need to net three seats to take over the senate. so the senate could still be in play if this georgia special election, the georgia regular election of david purdue goes to a runoff alongside that special election. so something about super bowl in the senate could be taking place january 5 in georgia. so we will continue to watch what happens there into peach state. it is just after 8:00, one hour of a three-hour program today. 202-748-8000 for those of you who support joe biden and kamala harris. 202-748-8001 if you support president trump and vice president mike pence. if you supported another candidate altogether, 202-748-8002. you can text us, tweet us, and you can post on facebook. we will hear from charity, starting off in the second hour. a supporter of president tru

politico actually says attorney general doug jones, secretary of state of susan rice, big shock thereetary of treasury while brain are, eric garcetti, that high-speed rail finally going to get in there? defense secretary michelle flournoy. tonight, swamp preacher ron clean will be his white house chief of staff. he's the one that said biden did a rotten job on the h1n1. governor, none of these names scream "outsider" to me. >> now, is going to be same old, same old. it's going to be a real problem because a lot of the people on the left without whom joe never would have gotten as far as he did. i'm not going to say it, it's not for sure yet. but that aside, they're going to be some people on the left of that demand, they are going to want the entire table and if they don't get it, they're going to revolts that they will have a mutiny on the ballot right there in his own white house, in his own party. i do think when i hear people say he's a moderate, let's see. let's see who he appoints because personnel is policy. that's something you learn real early when you get into governor work.

there was bad news for them in alabama where republican tommy tuberville is projected to defeat doug jones of alabama the results mean that the democrats look on likely to take control of the senate. now in the race for the house the democrats also failed to make substantial gains but the left wing democratic representative alexander of cost you of course ted was reelected from new york as were the other 3 like minded congresswoman who are known as quote the squad for challenging washington's status quo. and as for the u.s. presidential election of course it remains too close to call with a vote counting continuing in key states that will decide who wins the white house so far neither president donald trump nor his democratic challenger joe biden have clinched the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the southwestern state of arizona is the latest battleground state that has just been called it is 11 votes going to joe biden making it the only state to have flipped to the party to the democratic party since the 2016 election you're just seeing those results loading in there joe biden

in alabama, trump backed tommy tuberville has defeated the incumbent democratic senator doug jones. nes was the most endangered democrat in today's election. only narrowly won a 2011 special election after nine women accused his opponents roy moore f ail -- attacking them as teenagers. lindsey graham fought off a strong challenge from democrat jamie harrison, an african-american who raised a record $70 million during the final quarter of the 2020 campaign. and in georgia, the two senate seats are up for grabs. democrat reverend rafael warnok in ised to go to a runoff january against the sitting senator or doug collins. in arizona, democrat mark kelly has an early significant lead against republican martha mccall -- mcsally in the contested u.s. senate race and at this point with about 60% of the vote in this arizona, it looks like biden is ahead but we'll see what happens with that. and in texas, republican senator john cornyn has won re-election. all 435 seats in the house are also on the ballot. nearly all polls shows -- show control. will maintain joe bowman will get a house seat

for attorney general, we see someone like doug jones, senator from alabama who lost his race.cceptable to the republicans. there will be some on the progressive wing who think he is too centrist, but this is the needle joe biden has to thread right now, to find candidates who have experienced, who are diverse candidates, who pledges to have the most diverse cabinet in history but also to find people who can get enough votes to get confirmed by the senate. >> he also released that transition website. one of the top topics is, change. we have never seen an incoming administration put climate change is one of their top agendas to tackle day one. what does this say about his makeup of the cabinet? czar will see a cabinet who has cabinet level authority probably sitting in the white house initially. when i worked in the white house, we set up the department of homeland security. the governor came down and was a senior advisor for homeland security working out of the white house and that grew into this enormous department of homeland security so we will start off with a climate czar

republicans are hoping to take back the alabama senate sea seat held by doug jones. if they don't gop chances for holding the senate substantially decline. on the other hand, if senator susan collins can hang onto her seat in maine come about greatly increases the odds that republicans hold onto the senate. iraq war veteran james hoping for a pickup in michigan. we will be checking every bit of it.t.t.t.t. we are awaiting the final rally of the day. it will be late. president tom. he set to arrive any moment now. will take you to that rally live when it happens. he has spent considerable time in pennsylvania. both have their site sent on the 20 electoral votes. there in harrisburg tonight taking a closer look at what the campaigns are doing. shannon the pittsburgh post- editorial board in dolorous president trump commenting on how democratic voters have shift to the republican party in an area that used to be a democratic stronghold. the reason, economy, energy and fracking. >> to be brutally honest i'm voting for trump because i think he will do less harm. i'm not b

speak republicans picked up a seat in alabama with tommy tuberville defeating doug jones. senator mitch mcconnell expressed hope that he will continue leading the senate. >> i don't know whether i'm going to be the majority leader or the minority leader. i've been both. the majority is better. >> pickups for democrats in colorado with john hickenlooper defeating cory gardner. >> it's time to put the poisonous politics of this era behind us and come together to move forward. >> in arizona with mark kelly defeating republican martha mcsally. >> we need an arizona senator. a senator like john mccain. >> democrats lost numerous seats in the house, many they won two years ago. in iowa, new mexico, and florida. donna shalala and debbie mucarsel-powell. in oklahoma, kendra horn and in south carolina joe cunningham and it wasn't just freshman. house agriculture committee chairman collin peterson of minnesota lost his 15 term seat. democrats could still lose seats in new york, michigan, and california. house republican leader kevin mccarthy celebrated. >> our numbers continue to gr

i mean, i don't know doug jones was the senator we talked about picking up one instead of two senatecontrol of the senate had the pundits within the party had not just cut him off. think about it, for months now they've been saying alabama was lost. the south is not lost to democrats. frankly, if we go back to our roots and begin to examine and listen to people, i mean, that's the real thing, you have to listen to people, wherever they are in the country and understand that at the end of the day, people want the same things. they want to be able to make the world better, pass onto their children more than they inher inherited from their parents and to live a happy life. so we have, i think, a lot of soul searching to do in terms of getting there -- i'm sorry. >> that's okay. i wish i had more time. i don't mean to cut you off, but i'm being told we have to get to a break. but it's a strong message you're sending certainly to your party, and i hope you come back soon. thank you ambassador. we'll be right back. but we didn't stop there. we made a cloud flexible enough to adapt to any s

american women not only turned out disproportionately, they also ensured that the democratic candidate doug jones goes to the u.s. senate. they flipped that seat from red to blue. we can look ahead to the ballots that many of us will cast in november and discover that somewhere between 120 and 130 black women are running for seats in congress this season. this is a number that dwarfs the record which had been set in 2016. that number had been 48. black women coming to washington as a political force no longer as nearly firsts. and none of us have escape the fact of senator kamala harris is nomination to the democratic ticket. perhaps like, me you tune in for her acceptance speech, it was a historic moment certainly. but senator harris told something about the history that had brought us there she spoke directly about her own mother and the influence of her mother's education, guidance, and role as a role model. her mother as one of the women on whose shoulders she was standing in the summer of 2020. and then senator harris mean then senator harris name checked six women. six women were very much

fox news is told joe biden is considering former alabama senator doug jones, former deputy attorney generalary yates, california attorney general and new york governor andrew cuomo to serve as attorney general. that's quite a list. is that going to well the progressives in your party snfrmths i don't think if it will well tbut i think it's a mixed bag there. democrats, we fall in love while republicans fall in line. there is this behavior that you see within the democratic party of individuals who really want to have a connection and deep emotional connection to anyone who holds office. what we have to realize is that will not always be the case. some of us lean middle, some lean right. we have to be okay with that knowing that the overall platforms and policies will be achieved. to answer your question will that well the noise from progressives? i don't think so. but they have to change their vantage point. >> harris: that's quite a talking about. democrats fall in love while gop fall in line. what is your reaction to what's happening across the aisle? >>> well you mentioned sally yates, i

the gop flipped a seat in alabama where former a college football coach tommy tuberville defeated doug jones and then in maine, incumbent republican susan collins, she actually held on to her seat as did south carolina republican lindsey graham, those were all seats to the democrats thought they had a legitimate crack meantime as speaker nancy pelosi is on track to keep control of the house but she saw her democratic majority shrinking one of those losses west to marjorie taylor green a republican who expressed racist spews and support for cuban on conspiracy theories. she won a seat representing georgia in the house, those results almost ensures partisan gridlock regardless of who wins the presidency and now for the latest out president trump's camp we now head to washington dc outside the white house that is where we find our dc correspondent jessi to nor jesse thanks for being with us tonight last night we heard president trump declare victory. that was not the case today. he's claimed victory in pennsylvania. >>where there are still 800,000 votes or so to be counted in joe biden is surgi
