blake? blake: yeah, casey, i know we heard president trump mention the possibility of a vaccine next week, but the government scientists have been talking about december 10th, right? at least around that fda approval potentially of pfizer's candidatesome. >> reporter: that's right. and that's just pfizer. as you know, there are many candidates. astrazeneca, which has had a bit of a setback, i know you're going to talk about that later, but moderna, of course, is in the game. so everyone is racing to the finish line in these late stage clinical trials trying to get the vaccine out and also get it distributed in a way so that it can get out to not only americans, but others around the world that are also suffering from this global pandemic. blake: indeed. casey stegall live in texas, thanks. he mentioned that potential setback for astrazeneca in its race to find a covid-19 vaccine. the pharmaceutical company now facing intense scrutiny over data from its stage three of its vaccine trials. some

blake: we are going to be talking about the first two chapters of my book manuscript today.oks at the role public opinion played during the new deal and specifically the constitutional controversy of the new deal. it is worth telling you one thing about why i am not writing this book. court packing has gotten back in the

blake burman on the north lawn. a lot of people are talking about this around the white house, blake. what can you tell us in terms of distribution of this treatment? reporter: this is the eli lilly therapeutic bamlanivimab. as it is called. this is the numbers behind it for officials with "operation warp speed." the u.s. government will buy 300 doses for a price tag of $375 million. the distribution will start in the coming days. the therapeutic is designed to -- with goal of high-risk patients out of hospitals. it is through iv in an outpatient setting however it is not recommended for hospitalized patients nor is it recommended for patients that require oxygen. you pair that with the announcement from pfizer yesterday and clearly it is back-to-back days with positive headlines on the medical front but on the economic front, the prospect for a stimulus package remains grim. listen here to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell acknowledging that the same hurdles still remain. >> we need to thank about if we're goi

tonight join jimmy and his guests - kenan thompson kate mara, musical guest, james blake and featuringhe legendary roots crew and now, here he is, jimmy fallon ♪ [ cheers and applause >> jimmy: oh yeah please oh, my goodness. wow. okay thank you very much. wow, thank you, thank you. thank you very much, everyone. welcome, welcome, welcome to "the tonight show" here. [ cheers and applause studio 6a in new york city thank you, roots let's get to the news and jokes. well, guys, as of this afternoon, some states are still counting their votes, but the numbers are looking good for joe biden. yep, it seems like america - [ cheers and applause seems like america is just about ready to socially distance from president trump. [ cheers and applause yep, as more votes came in today, the coronavirus put on its hat and coat and thought, "well, it's been a good run. [ laughter ] good day to you all. that's right, as of now it's looking like the gop strategy of "hope no one notices the global pandemic" didn't turn out so well. [ laughter ] at this very moment, biden is smiling from ear to ear, at lea

you are a disgrace. >> blake? >> yeah, it's disgusting. it's corrupt. it's racist.e were joking around or i was about rudy's makeup but let's be serious about this. in this case, you know, the election is not really that close. joe biden won by more than 70 electoral votes. this gambit isn't going to work. let's be clear about something we learned. the republican party and many major figures within the republican party were content and happy to try to undo an election. they wanted to overturn the result. they were serious. they want to take it as far as they can go and not a lot of people try to stop them. not going to work in this case. can you imagine if this was a much closer race if this was a one state difference, a few electoral votes? then this would really become a very different situation and i think it's really important to remember that that's what we're dealing with. >> i think, again, as we have another head spinning week here on a friday night, i think blake makes a point everyone has to keep in mind. it's well and good to say there is respect and dial

live to blake burman to sum it all up, at least try to, blake. reporter: final day finally here, connell. five different stops in four states for president trump. it started in north carolina this morning. he just wrapped minutes ago in pennsylvania. he is off to the midwest. the president will go to michigan, then to wisconsin, then back to michigan as he will end tonight in grand rapids. the place he ended his 2016 campaign. a bit of superstition there. when you look at the map, look at all different possibilities, normally we talk about florida, ohio, how important the states are, this go-round potentially pennsylvania could be the crucial state. that is where the president just finished up moments ago. again he was talking about the moment at the final debate where joe biden said he would transition away from the oil industry, something that the president has been keying in on here down the stretch. listen here once again. president trump: biden's plan to ban fracking is an economic death sentence for pennsylvania. biden's energy shutdown wil

thank you, blake burman in washington. to fox's garrett tenney.ansing, michigan, as the midwest continues to be one of the hardest hit areas in the coronavirus surge we've been seeing. what is the latest where you are, garrett? reporter: connell, on monday at least 10 states reported a record number of new cases of the coronavirus. that only adds to the several dozen states that have been reporting record numbers over the last week. those surges in new cases have really been prompting state and local leaders to enact new restickses to try to control the spread of this virus as well as to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. merck ban michigan is limiting gatherings to two households. ohio adding a 10:00 p.m. curfew. chicago is stay at home advisory with a 10 person limit on indoor gatherings. that is also the case starting today in new jersey. straight leaders there as well across the country are urging folks to skip the traditional thanks giving celebrations. >> we're urging everybody to keep their thanksgiving plans as small as possible becaus

blake burman on the north lawn. the other side, hillary vaughn is in wilmington, delaware, for us at joe biden's headquarters. what is the latest from there, hillary? reporter: connell, biden is back in wilmington right now. he is at a community center talking to local teens right now but he did say earlier today he is feeling good but certainly not taking anything for granted because he has been popping up all over pennsylvania, his home state today. biden clearly trying to have the last word after trump held a rally in his hometown of scranton yesterday. >> as goes philly, so goes the state of pennsylvania? [cheers and applause] >> we love you, joe. >> turnout has been incredible. [cheering] reporter: biden campaign disagreeses that philly is the key, devoting their strategy to get to 270 electoral votes earlier today, they actually don't need to win four big battlegrounds, pennsylvania, florida, ohio, and texas in order to win. >> we don't need to win them. that is true luxury. we don't need to win any of these f

same with blake. in just a moment, we need to tell you we are going to take you live to nevada, where ballots are still being tabulated as we speak. >>> speaking of as we speak, we got fed chair jerome powell just issuing a warning as covid cases in the u.s. clock a single day jump of 100,000. he's taking questions from reporters right now. that's what you are seeing on your screen. the zoom event. so with a backdrop of an election battle that remains tense and tight, we're about to tell you what jay powell said and what he plans to do. closing bell, we are about 52 minutes away from it. "the claman countdown" coming right back. our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. they help us with achievable steps along the way... ...so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe? i don't think so... what do you think, peanut? nope! honey, do you think we overdid it? overdid what? see? we don't think so, son. technically, grandparents can't

connell: makes sense, blake, thank you.lake burman live from washington and there is plenty of optimism today on the vaccine front, understandably so but reality when it comes to the virus in many states, that's far from optimistic. in fact you look at hospitalizations from covid, they have reached all-time highs in at least 26 states. over the last week t prompted new restrictions to be put in place in many spots. of course that has an economic impact. to get all that into perspective get to jackie deangelis live in new york. reporter: good afternoon to you, connell. maker, creator of the pfizer-biontech vaccine we heard last week, 90% efficacy, he said life will not go back to normal until next winter. we're not really in the thick of this winter just yet and we've been through eight to nine months of the pandemic and people have fatigue. that gives you perspective how these vaccines will be distributed and what the expectation is for enough of the population has it we can resume our normal activities. it is positive yes.

we have foxbusiness team coverage with blake burman at the white house.resident elect bidens transition. gerri willis standing by but we begin with jackie deangelis. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. history is being made right before our eyes. dow about 30,000. i think is interesting today, not just the dow but look at the s&p 500 on a percentage basis of a little bit more and even the dow industrial. 500 is broader than the dow 30. you can see this was a big broad-based rally across the board. i think that is important. look at the dow winners because it gives you the sectors, energy is moving today, we see the financials moving higher today. walt disney is a big winner today but it wasn't just stocks, it was oil as well. over $45 a barrel, disclosing under that level and it took the energy stocks up because the investors are basically betting on recovery for the economy and that means more demand for oil and that means these companies will do better. having said that, let's take a pause and talk about the reasons we were hired today. investors are opt

thank you very much, jonathan blake.t—electjoe biden has won the state of georgia, the bbc projects — the first time a democratic candidate has done so since 1992. the win strengthens biden‘s victory — giving him a total of 306 electoral college votes, well over the 270 he needed. since election night, president trump has tweeted more than 90 times, promoting claims of voter fraud without providing any evidence. experts now fear disinformation has undermined faith in democracy for millions, as marianna spring reports. even beforejoe biden was declared the us president—elect, people took to the streets to claim the vote was rigged. this is why. this is a case where they are trying to steal an election. they are trying to rig an election, and we can't let that happen. #stopthesteal went viral after unsubstantiated allegations that the democrats had rigged and stolen the election. but seeds of mistrust in the democratic process were sown long before election night. trump tweeted allegations of voter fraud and election riggi

jonathan blake there. we will bring you some breaking news.in at the last few minutes the official coronavirus figures have been coming in to us today and at the latest is that in the uk has recorded a62 new deaths on saturday. that compares to 376 on friday. just to reiterate, a62 people have died within 20 days of testing positive for coronavirus —— within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus on saturday. we will give you more information as we get it here on bbc news. the us president—electjoe biden has hit out at donald trump with strong criticism of the way the coronavirus pandemic has been handled. he said the surge in infections and deaths had alarmed him and that the federal response had been woefully lacking. mr biden tweeted... "i am the president—elect, but will not be president until next year. covid—19 does not respect dates on the calendar, it is accelerating right now. urgent action is needed today, now, by the current administration". here's what he's basing his criticism on. america has had over 10.7 million cases and 2

blake burman with more from the white house. connell, 94% clearly one of the headlines from moderna. the company said its covid-19 vaccine candidate continues to be safe but company is also highlighting when it came to severe cases in their trial all of the severe cases were from those who ended up getting the placebo and not those who got the vaccine. so that is why in part they are submitting to the fda for their emergency use authorization and the head of that company hinted today at when the fda could potentially publicly discuss all of it. listen. >> the fda has indicated to us that likely the advisory committee, at the meeting should happen on december 17 and hopefully if everything goes well in the next couple weeks you could expect between i would say day to two or three days vaccine approval. meaning we're able to ship the product. reporter: n.o.w. the fda is set to take up the pfizer vaccine candidate on december 10th. you heard stefan bancel of moderna. the fda has not publicly acknowledged at all when they could take

blake is from ontario.e was upset when clare said good-bye, but i think it's an important bachelor to watch. do not count him out. we're tracking blake closely. >> jimmy: tell us what's going on in new jersey. >> all right, come here to new jersey to camden county. this is zach c., an addiction specialist. he could turn this competition on its head. here's the important thing here. ryan gosling's less-attractive cousin is basically zac c. women love that, particularly white women. his roses are going to be coming in at a steady rate. he is one to watch. z.a.c. c. has a number of paths to win but it's important we be patient, remain calm, and wait for the ballots to come in. >> jimmy: there nor ballots to come in, you are really the only one who votes on this. >> okay, great. then i see a clear path for the army veteran. i'm calling the race for ben. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. your projected winner. ben is molly's projected winner of "the bachelorette" season 16-b. thank you for that, molly. and

connell: all right, blake, thank you, sir. blake burman on the north lawn for us. the other thing today we heard the sounding of the alarm about a distribution plan for the vaccine from one governor in particular. he was really taking aim at the president's path forward with covid vaccine. we'll get into that whether it is appropriate or not as we continue. bracing for what could be life-threatening flash floods. this tropical storm eta made landfall in the florida keys. it is moving west across the state right now. expected to get even stronger and, instead of being a tropical storm, it will be a hurricane again. that is the current path they're expecting. we'll be on the ground in key west a little bit later on. a look where things stand. what a shift in the oval office could mean for you and your wallet. we'll have a deep dive for that. stick around. we'll be right back. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it start

to blake burman live at the white house on blake, the next big question. what's the administration's pecking order and plan for who gets the vaccine first, second, third, fourth, et cetera? reporter: yeah. it's a good question. first off, as it relates to moderna, they will still need emergency use authorization. that's the eua. should be coming or at least hopeful to be coming in a couple weeks. then you are talking about distribution of this vaccine potentially starting by the end of the year. there are still no real exact details as to who might get this first and when you think about it, it kind of makes sense because they don't really have all of the data just yet. once they get all that data, then there will be a more fine print plan. i asked the white house about this earlier today. i was told quote, i will read it to you, the cdc will provide further details regarding prioritization after an independent review of the data by experts. we anticipate that the first doses will go to vulnerable populations and health care workers. those two groups of in

fair enough blake, thank you as always. blake burman. speaking of veterans day which president-elect joe biden commemorating veterans day in korean memorial in philadelphia. he had meetings with husband transition advisors. hillary vaughn has the latest on all of that. hillary. reporter: hi, connell. veterans day is personal for president-elect joe biden because his late son beau biden served in the national guard over in iraq. so he went, he left wilmington to stop by the philadelphia korean war memorial at penns landing to lay a wreath there but biden over the past few days called for everyone to stay calm while president trump contemplates whether or not he will concede. some veteran house democratic lawmakers are taking issue with the message coming from some in the trump administration when secretary of state mike pompeo, seemingly joked at that there would be a smooth transition to a second trump administration. >> well you know i think that this is striking because this is the nation's most senior person in the state department. h

blake? reporter: it does indeed. when you look at the timeline, pfizer applying for that eua, emergency use authorization, likely within the upcoming days here. the fda has already said in recent days that that process might take weeks, so potentially here, potentially, a pfizer vaccine you're looking at some part at the early or middle portion of december. we just got off of a reporter call a little while ago with the top officials on operation warp speed and i got to tell you, it was interesting listening to the top scientist, dr. slaoui. he was bullish on moderna as he was on pfizer. the doctor was asked well, what happens if there's both vaccines out there, how will you determine which patient ends up getting which vaccine? this was his response. >> it would all depend on the reviews by the fda on the minutae of the data, exactly what's labeled, the safety profile, et cetera. they are very similar in their making and in their performance, and therefore, i don't think there should be any constraint on who gets wha

blake, thank you. blake burman in washington.verall today it was a record-setting day in the united states and not a good way by any stretch. hospitals meantime are getting stretched if you look at the numbers. the total number of covid related hospitalizations has topped 76,000, first time we've seen them that high. this afternoon we had big news from new york city, the nation's largest school system closing for in person learning tomorrow. we don't know when it might open up again. there was market reaction. zoom, used so much in virtual learning, it spiked. it had been negative prior to the announcement in new york. in michigan a three-week statewide pause is starting today as we continue to keep a very close eye on the upper midwest. fox's garrett tenney reporting live can from lansing. garrett? reporter: connell this, long line of cars at this testing site behind us is an example of why these new restrictions are being put in place as this surge of virus, positive cases of the virus is really sweeping all across the country.

blake, thank you. get to the other side joe biden is cautiously optimistic how we're told they're couching things in the biden campaign today. hillary vaughn live in wilmington, delaware. hillary? reporter: there are signs today biden is business as usual. he is in downtown wilmington at the queen theater. he has been there for several hours getting a briefing with his running mate, senator kamala harris on covid and the economy. the campaign said these are the briefings a part of their normal routine since march. the return to normal routine is a sign biden is very comfortable and confident with where he stands. he just stopped short yesterday of giving a victory speech. he says he believes the winner will be once all votes are counted. the campaign is slamming the lawsuits that the trump campaign filed in states like pennsylvania saying they believe the president is trying to delay and distract because he is losing. >> he sees the same data we do and knows he is losing. donald trump continues to push

vice chair blake, for all you do, for our party, and all you do to get out the vote.hank you, congressman dwight evans, for coming out and speaking today, and all you do to fight for the people of philadelphia everything will day in congress. i also want to say thank you to bishop hunter, and reverend mark tyler, state representatives. where is morgan? thank you for being here. thank you for being here. and bishop lewis felton. i also want to thank sharon baptist church choir. aren't they great? [honking] mr. biden: one of the things i most enjoyed about being back on the campaign trail was meeting with black faith leaders around the country. the churches i get to go to during the primaries and over 400 black leaders, church leaders, supporting us. almost every sunday i get to sit in the pew and get inspired. i go to mass early in the morning, then i go to the black church to get some hope and invigoration. i talked to people and hear what is on their minds, pray with them, and guess what? it was renewing. it was not about me, but our entire family. jill would be with

blake what is the latest? reporter: the trump campaign, president trump himself had been threatening legal action after election day. that is exactly what we've seen unfold in the last now hours here today. let's start with where you are right now in pennsylvania as the trump campaign filed several lawsuits there dealing with the postelection ballot process. we just were actually on a campaign call with the campaign manager bill stepien and they're even declaring themselves, the trump campaign is, the winner in pennsylvania. here was stepien when we heard from him within the past hour here. watch? >> we have high degree of confidence in maintaining our margin of victory. in fact, we are declaring a victory in pennsylvania. this is not based on gut or spiel. this is based on math. we feel, very, very positive, that the president an vice president will again deliver a victory in pennsylvania. reporter: move on over to michigan now, the trump campaign also filed a lawsuit there to halt the ballot counting process

is holding a rally in kenosha, wisconsin, where protests erupted after the police shooting of jacob blake in august. now it is looking like this election could be won or lost in suburbs like kenosha but as the president's law and order message resonating with voters here's gabe gutierrez with that. >> reporter: tonight, in battleground wisconsin, the fight for the suburbs is under way. president trump rallying supporters in kenosha, more than two months since the unrest following the police shooting of jacob blake. >> what happened to downtown kenosha happened to me in my backyard had law and order been called in sooner probably we would not have lost lives. >> reporter: in his battleground blitz over the last week the president has been hammering home his campaign theme of law and order. >> antifa and the anarchists, they view the suburbs as next >> on saving suburbia, we believe in law and order. suburban women please love me, love me. >> reporter: in 2016, suburban women supported hillary clinton over mr. trump by 11 points a recent poll has joe biden up 19 points among the same group.

thank you, blake burman on the north lawn.peaking of the president-elect let's get to hillary as mr. biden is headed to his beach house i guess in delaware. what is happening there today? reporter: hi, connell. well biden moved from wilmington here to reb hoe beth beach, delaware to continue working on the transition and meeting with transition advisors. meanwhile progressives are taking credit for president-elect joe biden's win. now they want to cash in by convincing biden to stuff his cabinet with far left liberals but some senate republicans are warning democrats that it is going to be difficult to get someone like democratic socialist bernie sanders confirmed by a republican majority senate as something like labor secretary. >> i think it would be a challenge. we want businesses to be able to thrive. we recognize the need for labor to be a part of those discussions. bernie is a friend but most certainly he will be different in opinion what a labor secretary should do than a lot of what people in the united states think is

blake has the latest live in d.c. >> the great news here.fizer submitting a request for emergency use authorization for the covid-19 vaccine. this process will take a few weeks. the fda needs a couple of weeks to evaluate this and make sure it's vetted. we heard from pfizer's ceo earlier. he said they are going to sit back and let the fda handle it from here. watch. >> i don't want to create neither pressure to them. it is in their hands and they should take the time they think is appropriate for them to take. but i can tell from our side, we would be ready within hours from receiving the mail or the fax of the approval to start distributing. >> so what about the cost going forward? americans won't have to pay for the vaccine and operation warp speed sent money to states and localities. the head of the cdc believes states will need $6 billion and health officials think that number is much higher at 8 8.4-million dollars. this is the letter they wrote saying they need that letter: i am sorry. we asked operation warp speed about all of this to
