abrams fell short in the 2018 georgia governor's race, but energized liberal voters in the south. she will be the first african-american woman to give the democratic response. as for how she will prepare, abrams says that she will hydrate first, as a nod to marco rubio who awkwardly took sips of water during his republican response to president obama's speech. at least four house democrats will not be attending tonight's state of the union address. 14 democrats skipped the president's address last year. >>> and happening in the background of the speech search not to sear certainly not to be ignored, his inaugural committee was subpoenaed demanding documents related to donors, vendors and finances. the investigation covers a long list of potential crimes, they include conspiracy against the united states, along with illegal contributions from foreign nations, and contributions in the name of another person also known as straw donors. >>> wall street journ sal rep"w reported last year that the subpoena is being reviewed and it is their intention to cooperate. much of the fund raisin

south. severe weather. even tornado warnings downn rts of georgia and severe thunderstorms in parts of the carolinas. this whole stem moves out a behind it we get on the cold side. today it's already been cold. we're actually going be warmer tomorrow than we were today, but the wind is going to be a factor. current temperatures all above freezing. the exception is winchester. when the wind comes in, that's where i think we could hav some problems. rain moving out. wet roads tomorrow morning. there won't e anythingfalling, but still the roads are going to be very wet from all the rain we ve seen. take some time out there getting to work tomorrow. dry tomorrow but windy. winds cut gust 30 to 40 miles an ihour. with t to the north and the saturated ground everywhere, we could have more trees down across our region tomorrow. that's sething i want you to think about and keep a heads up for. school day forecast. athe bus stop, chilly, 36 degrees there. rather breezy, too. winds igusting, as mentioned, up to 30, 40 miles an hour. wind chills in the 20 3s ands all day, up to a high of 47. at least we have so

georgia. ok, it was a little warmer. [laughter] yesterday, i was in south carolina. we had incredibly huge turnouts there in greensville and then this columbia and we had a house party -- it would have ruined your house. [laughter] anyway. we did these things there. and then we -- before that we were in atlanta and had -- i got to meet with stacey abrams and we did an incredible meeting on voting rights. and i also with a was able to see jimmy and rosalynn arter. [applause] and we had pimento cheese sandwiches and tomato soup and i think, if he's not now 95, he's almost 95. he was just incredible. talking about the campaign, talking about new hampshire. talking about staying in people's homes. one of the more funny things is what he said well, one of the reasons i did so well is a lot of opponents were in the senate. [laughter] [inaudible] -- inspiring moment. that went really well. but he just talked about the grassroots nature of his campaign and i told him how a few years before, i'd actually gone to the carter presidential library, and as a minnesotan, i was such

having been out there in georgia with stacey two days ago, having been in south carolina and hearing these stories, having been in the part of the country where the circuit court said they were passing laws out of north carolina where they discriminated with surgical precision. that is the word in just the last few years from a conservative court with the gerrymandering and everything. we should be making it easier for people to vote. that means everything from reauthorizing the voting rights act to passing my bill for same day registration which would be great, to -- this is a very big idea -- to actually registering every kid that's eligible to vote when they turn 18. [ applause ] >> those things would help us to get to all these other things i've been talking about. it's kind of the core, the ground under which all of these policy changes are. so the antitrust issue. so this is something that we've seen. we've seen a huge increase in the number of mergers in this country, right? and things getting bigger and bigger. we now, i think, have $2 trillion companies. what's been going on

. >> and in the south flooding rain is the big concern from arkansas to georgia.hat storm is merging with another system which already made highways slick in new mexico sending cars spinning out of control like you just saw there. we get the latest from accuweather's melissa constanzer. melissa, good morning. >> janai, kenneth, this is a big storm system. as it moves to the northeast it starts out for many of the big east coast cities as snow transitioning to sleet, freezing rain and eventually just plain rain where they'll get soaking rains through the south. flooding concerns on the northwest side. we're talking 6 to 12 inches of snow, places like southern minnesota that have already seen the snowiest february on record don't need more snow there but we do have know through the northeast. in some spots through southern pennsylvania we're talking about 6 to 10 inches of snow. even d.c. starts as snow but transitions then into rain before this is all ending. we are talking about some very intense ice here through parts of interstate 81 which could mean significant

south. in 2018, they got close in georgia and texas. places they never used to win. stacey abrams stands for those things. that's why she almost the perfect voice to be responding. >> shepard: thanks, jerry. ruth bader ginsberg made her first public appearance since her cancer surgery. she went to a concert that her daughter-in-law held for her last night. justice beginser is had surgery for lung cancer and been recovering at home in washington. she's missed all of last month's court arguments. before the concert started, her son said she's been walking a mile a day and meeting with her personal trainer twice a week. last year, she was one of five justices to skip the state of the union address. we don't know which ones may or may not attend tonight. coming up, how a day at the ballpark reportedly turned deadly for a grandmother. plus, the man that fought off and killed a mountain lion with his own hands. but first, the political firestone in the commonwealth of virginia where the governor is refusing to step down and the lieutenant governor is facing accusations of

in, people are saying, look, you have a state that is one of the last of the new south states now that florida and georgiaipped out of the kind of new south column based on the gubernatorial elections, at least that's the feeling about them. is that you know, there are a lot of other things happening here. they do a robert e. lee day, the friday before martin luther king, jr. day in the same state in virginia that the lieutenant governor justin fairfax actually in protest sat out of. he's supposed to lead the senate. he refused to take part in it. charlottesville happen which was over whether or not to leave up statutes of robert e. lee, the still pining for the confederacy is happening, an the outfit that is practicing this kind of revenge kind of politics, right, we'll find dirt on you and et cetera. is connected to roy moore who had a racial history and obviously a history vis-a-vis young girls and this is -- feels like now we're going to go and get a democrat. there's all of this tied up in it. i wonder if that swirl of other stuff winds up getting litigated along with northam? >> absolutely. there's

florida, my home state, and i can register to vote that day and vote in georgia and go to labama, louisiana, north carolina and south carolina ks the driving distance, i could make that. on uld vote in seven states the day of voting. nobody could validate that. they could determine on those kinds of vieting. and i would hope regardless of your political affiliation, you would say this is wrong to protect that one very sacred and right of citizens is the right to vote. number five. diminishes the process of allowingday voting and for eligible voters to cast their voting with no safeguards. can'teans their signature be questioned, it does president have to be the correct signature. i would think that a party that put that in place would really e afraid of that go, bass it weakens the democratic process. number six, disregards voters' law by allowing a sworn tatement to use and allowing or signature verification if the voter registers on-line. it allows a sworn statement to signature se for voter.ation if the i can't get on a line. i captain purchase medication over the cold medication without medication. but we are go
