"today in the bay"thom jensen looking and people breaking the rules, thom. >> that's right. good morning and happy thanksgiving, marcus. to you and everybody at home. the firefighters will be out. they're concerned about those numbers that kira was just talking about. health officials are, as well. santa clara county not immune from those numbers and also saying a record number of cases, a record number of hospitalizations. they will be out in places like san pedro square where we are and other places looking for violators. many health officials concerned about this weekend fearing that it could become a mother of all superspreader events as people are desperate to get together for those traditional thanksgiving holiday dinners and other gatherings. santa clara county officials are waving the red flag because they've got those record number of new cases. the record number of hospitalizations that we talked about and very few critical beds left. they're really running out of options. >> we can't depend on our county next to us because they are under the same stress and strain

it doesn't look like there's a crowd behind you now, thom, but there was a crowd. at one point at full capacity already. >> reporter: there was a bit of a line that formed right after 5:00 after the curfew lifted for their 5:00 a.m. opening. it looks pretty sparse because this best buy is adhering to the 25% capacity level which means only 80 shoppers at a time inside here. there weren't even 80 people in line when they opened the doors this morning. we were able to talk to a few of those people about what brought them out during this covid surge on black friday. many of them told us about their shopping habits and what they were looking for this morning. the playstation 5s sold out fast, didn't they? >> too fast. >> reporter: were you hoping to get one? >> yeah. >> reporter: did you get one? >> no, not yet. >> reporter: what are the plans this year? are you doing a lot of shopping online because of covid? >> more online, yeah, because of covid. >> reporter: as you heard a lot of them looking for the playstation 5, hot item, or x box. this store sold out. we did se

first-term inismbent thom ti maintains an edge. like joe biden, he's in that three to five percent range right now over thom tillis, according to recent polls. but as you noted, that's kind of sursiprising, cring that just a few weeks ago, it emerged he had been eaging in inappropriate, sexually suggestive texts with another wom, not his wife. he's been very disciplined about not answering questions on that subject. he's avoided answering questions. he said it's a private matter. he has consistently stuck to the election issues that seem to be resonating the most with voters: access to affordable health care, handling of the coronavirus pandemic. it also didn't hurt cal cunningham that at the same time contracted covid-19.lis and you got to remember, he attended the naming ceremony for then-nominee amy coney barrett for the supreme court. a lot of trump administration officials and the president contracted covid-19. that in a way not onlymp mised thom tillis' health, but it may have compromised his principles. at one ti he was seen

but let's just for a second focus on thom tillis' race. he was behind the entire time.ire time, even when cal cunningham's affair became public. it didn't seem to move the needle with the poles but in reality he's going to pull out this win and he's going to surpass where the polls were going into that race. it's a big win for the incumbent was killing a senator and it's a big win today as he sets up for that battle. >> bill: we were forecasting over the weekend if you are 50-40 he moved to georgia. we now know they will be hotly contested and we will see the way georgia breaks. do you believe the presidential results in georgia pretend anything about how a statewide republican will fare in a state that appears to be changing, at least in the atlanta area? we can say that safely enough. >> two things about this, one is the recount. the margin for david perdue to get back to 50%, 50.0, is not that many votes. it recounts, we have not historically seen them move thousands of votes but i only think it's about 3600 votes and you can imagine a scenario where things, there ar

thom tillis declared himself the winner in charlotte. since then, the democrat in this race, cal cunningham was holding out hope that some of these absentee and provisional ballots that were still needing to be counted may give him enough of an edge to keep him in this ra race. ever since tuesday night, we'd seen him leading by 97,000 votes or so. those numbers not changing all that much. there was every day they went by less and less of a chance that cunningham was going to be able to unseat thom tillis in this. there was a tremendous amount of runny spent on this race. both parties putting a lot of time and energy into north carolina. he was only in his first term right now. first term back in 2014 less than 50,000 votes. they certainly saw someone that was vulnerable. cunningham faced a real scandal in the final weeks of his campaign after he admitted to having an inappropriate relationship outside of his marriage. it is unclear how much that may have impacted the final vote. spoke to one woman in charlotte and said i could kill cal c

north carolina, thom tillis, he has been closing for a number of weeks. he is facing a senate in cal cunningham, very short on substance. i have been very proud of thom tillis and how he has performed in the debate and all of the campaigning together. he tends to break late, as we saw just a couple of years ago, and in richard burr's senate race in north carolina. unfortunately, for cal yourngham, if you are on biography, you have run on honor, duty, as this member has, and you are being investigated by the army for extramarital affairs with a congressman's wife, that is what we call a bad sack in a legal profession. so the contrast between come on the one hand, thom tillis who grew up in very humble circumstances and is really bound to pass for success, a very inspiring background during a difficult time for our country, and on the other hand, someone who commit frankly, has been exposed, i think that that race is going to end up being one, a victory for republicans and key to being able to maintain the majority. >> senator todd young of indiana, chairma

thom tillis is the incumbent. he came down with covid. there was a report that came out that cal cunningham, the democrat in the race, had an affair with a woman. he has not spoken since. cal cunningham was ahead. that has narrowed to where the presidential race is. race, ray cooper, the current governor, a democrat, this is a close race. i think it is going to be closer to 6% when it is down to it. it is not affecting the governor's race. the governor has been doing news conferences since march almost weekly. he has a clear advantage. host: why is it that the governor is running against his lieutenant governor? guest: they do not run together. they are separate elected positions. the lieutenant governor is a stepping stone to running for governor. we knew all along he wanted to run for governor. he does not believe in wearing masks. he has been critical of what the governor has done on covid-19 on the shutdowns. it is sort of the classic republican versus democrat in north carolina. host: we are talking with tim boyum. he will take your

going to open up a more substantial lead and i'm hearing the statement thing in north carolina that thom tillis is leading by more than a point and the president is leading by just less than a point over joe biden in north carolina. and that's been a steady progression through the evening to chip away at that. and they feel very confident in north carolina, again, that both of those are going to go the way ohio has for trump and tillis in the senate. >> let's pull up north carolina right now if we can. we've got 95% of the expected vote in in north carolina. very close race right now. only about 80,000 -- 70,000 votes separating donald trump and joe biden.

for example, thom tillis lawson north carolina, he lost weight, mecklenburg and durham counties by 75,000 fewer votes than trump did.d. in georgia purdue lost the atlanta mro by 50,000 ves fewer than trump did. there was some ticket splitting at the senate level it's just not b enough to actually flip any of the results. but do think there was clearly a special house races certainly state legislative races democratic voters who probably voted biden andid did not want o give democra, they wanted to get rid of trumpets. we will take your life to the white house for a everything wh press secretary kayleigh mcenany. >> good afternoon, everyone. the beginning of t end of the pandemic started with the leadership of president trump. in recent days pfizer and moderna reported a highly successful results of the vaccine development. each achieving a covid vaccine that is over 90% effective. we know know moderna is 94.5% effective, pfizer 95%. that is extraordinary. in july the trump administration as part of operation warp speed agreed to provide pfizer with $1.95 billion to manufacture and distrib

the republican senate candidate there thom tillis, we haven't called the race yet, but performing a pointe donald trump's vote total. what does that tell you there were some biden voters who voted for thom tillis and that was the difference between tillis winning that race and losing that race. and so i think these gary johnson voters, for the most part, who was one of the third party candidates voted biden and gop down the ballot. >> i heard someone say it was a good day for all republicans unless your name was donald trump. staying with congress it appears democrats lost some seats, narrowed their majority. we here in california have a connection to nancy pelosi. is she in trouble? >> i don't think she's in trouble. you can't beat somebody unless you're going to run. there's no obvious heir apparent yet. she has, i think, done a fairly good job in the first two years of this majority trying to keep the moderates and progressives in the same tent. i think that job got a lot harder. you'll hear on the show this morning there is some resentment from some center/left democrats who believe p

the media still hasn't called north carolina thom tillis but it looks like thom has a significant leadill rib win that race if that's the case there are two republican sents in the run off and that run off occurs on january 5. if the total is 52-48 if the democrats win both of those seats, we have a democratic senate assuming joe biden is president, kamala harris is vice president, if the democrats win georgia they have a majority. if republicans win, we have a majority. i can not overstate how important to the country those two seats are. i'll be traveling to georgia, i've spoken with both david purdue and kelly loeffler, the two senators i've told them i'm all in anything i can do to help the answer is yes and the difference if we had a chuck schumer senate and a joe biden presidency they will pack the u.s. supreme court, they will end the filibuster and pass massive tax increases and they will pass the green new deal destroying millions of jobs if we have a republican senate, none of that happens and so it really is, by the way if they have a democratic senate they will add two new

the democrat cal cunningham conceded the race to republican thom tillis. cunningham in a statement saying the voters have spoken. i respect their decision. senator tillis had his own response. i'm incredibly humbled by the chance to serve people of north carolina for six more years. pledge to continue to keep my promises. close race, won clearly by thom tillis. he will stay in the senate that one is official. take a look at lyft. this is after the bell. stock initially went down. it is up slightly. we're seeing a slow recovery for lyft but the company now looking for new ways to make up the loss in revenue. the president john zimmer believes there is an untapped market for lyft where they will offer delivery services for restaurants without launching a full-fledged platform for food delivery on the way uber has with uber-eats. partnering up i guess with some restaurants to do that. instead of being down, is the initial reaction when earnings weren't so hot, lyft stock is about break even here, up slightly. more to come on that. >>> meantime this drug that

republican thom tillis has won a second term and six more years in washington. he faced a tough challenge from cal cunningham, former state senator and iraq war veteran. tillis has maintained a lead since election night but coming and had hoped outstanding absentee provisional ballots would reshape the race. north carolina is giving its 100 counties more time than it normally does due to the pandemic to count its votes. republicans have made it clear they are frustrated that this process is still going on. as new numbers came out today it became clear to the cunningham campaign winning was no longer on the table. cunningham releasing a statement writing "the voters have spoken and i respect their decision. while the result of the election suggest there it remains deep political divisions in the state and the nation, the more complete story of our country lies in what unites us." tillis' win is a big boost for republicans to hope to maintain their majority in the senate. republicans have 49 seats. three seats still undecided. one in alaska and the two georgia sen
