tupelo, mississippi looked to have been hit by a tornado.his is video of the area in the middle of the night where they're just beginning to assess the damage. of course, we also have thousands of people without power as we go throughout this election day because of these storms too. today we have 3 million people at risk. richmond virginia up through salisbury and dover. washington, d.c. is going to be soggy, philadelphia and new york too. the areas that we're watching is on the east coast. that's where the rainy weather will be, little bit in florida, not too bad. but a lot of our close battleground states have a decent forecast out there. in connecticut it's going to be pouring this afternoon. people waiting in line won't be thrilled. >>> still ahead in the nba ornd conjur man: are unpredictable crohn's symptoms following you everywhere? it's time to take back control with stelara®. for adults with moderately to severely active crohn's disease, stelara® works differently. studies showed relief and remission with dosing every 8 weeks. woma

tupelo as well. stumping for the republican candidate for the u.s. senate.rity and border security, vote republican. his message for the people who were in the caravans? turn around. watch. >> you look at what's happening on our border. and you see people coming up by the thousands and frankly, if we didn't show them strength and a strong border, you would have hundreds of thousands of people pouring into our country. we are doing a job. we will continue to do a job. we're doing what's right. republicans are committed to halting this incursion and defending the sovereign borders of the united states. we are sending a simple message, to the lawless caravans and to the illegal trespassers marching towards our border. it's very simple. turn back now. go back home. we will not let you in. we are not going to let you in. brian: so wait a second, he is saying that. there is an election today in mississippi. he is saying that and the midterms are over. said the president just came up with this because he wanted to rally his base to get to the polls. wait a second,

i was in tupelo, that was his first stop. there was probably 5,000 people. he went from northeast of mississippi, home of elvis presley over to biloxi. where he spoke at the biloxi coliseum. there was a lot of energy there. and the race is closer than expected. and if that's the case, a lot of that is because of the comments that have come out that cindy hyde-smith has made on the campaign trail in recent weeks. we just have to see what happens today. it's going to be interesting. >> that's for sure. i want to get to the comments in just a second. some of the facts about the state of the race. it's a senate runoff. taking place days after thanksgiving. weeks after election day. it's in a state that we're talking about that trump won by 18 points but also 48% of the electricity orate is african-am. what does this add up to? >> that's the key. there are so many unknowns for the race. first of all, we've never had a runoff like this four days after thanksgiving for a u.s. senate seat. and second of all, the african-american turnout is close to 40%. about 37%, 3

rick, the president is rallying sport sporters -- supporters in tupelo. replay what she said. "if this were a public hanging, i'd be on the front row." >> she issued this apology. >> by anyone offended by my comments, i apologize. there was no ill will, no ill intent whatsoever in my statements. i also recognize that this comment was twisted and turned into a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon. >> how is her apology resonating? >> it wasn't an apology. she's reading a statement. when you're apologizing, you don't need to read the statement. she knows mississippi's history very, very well and she knows the kind of imagery that brings up, particularly when she's running against an african-american like espy. look, chances are she's going to be elected because that's just the way mississippi is, putting republicans -- electing republicans statewide. we haven't had a senators as soon as 1988 or '89 when they would have retired. the midterms ended last week and people haven't been paying attention and so it going to be all about turnout. but it's

. >> that's right, i'm in tupelo right now. i think hyde-smith will probably still win. hearing more about the moore/jones contest. and then looking at that as an opportunity. that a democrat can triumph against a weekend republican candidate. it took an awful lot for republicans to peel off. the other sitting senator wasn't voting for roy moore. the republican strategy is. the disparity will carry hyde-smith over the finish line. >> it's not that everybody wants the same thing. wanting it for my kids but not yours. maintaining a divisive area of society is not good for us. until we overcome what is spewed from the mouth of this pet tore, we will not be able to inside the golf. about all of us together. >> thank you, what a great conversation. >> she had a last point. >> we have close off with you. >> this has been an unfortunate episode but being a misssippian. we have a lot of work to do. we can and must do better on issues of race. >> we appreciate you being in this. the author of "tears, we cannot stop. i'm going to come back with how they warned months ago that tari

cindy hyde-smith made the comment while praising a supporter in tupelo on november 2nd. >> as you caneo footage went viral and hyde-smith said, in a comment i referred to accepting an invitation to a speaking engagement. in referencing the one who invited me, i used an exaggerated expression of regard and any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation is ridiculous. mike espy called hyde-smith's comments reprehensible. public hangings were commonly used to terrorize african-americans for a century. in fact, mississippi had 581 documented lynchings between 1882 and 1968. >>> as you wake up this morning, you need the hat, the gloves, the scarf? >> very active weather week ahead. first, let's start in southern california because it's going to be another dangerous day today. so we have 21 million people at risk of red flag warnings from northern california all the way through the mountains and southern california, a little sliver here near the arizona-nevada border. all this horrendous stuff in california and now it's the rainy season. wind gusts of 50-75 miles an hour today. this i

so in places where the president visited -- he was also in tupelo last night.early 70%, more than two-thirds of the vote there. only half in. so cindy hyde-smith could get more votes here as well. it is a double-digit margin right now. in the end we know it will be a win for the republicans. there will be a lot of talk about whether that's a weak win. cindy hyde-smith will have to run for re-election in two years. she's finishing an uncompleted senate term so she'll be back on the ballot. but this is the big picture as we have one house race still 20 count. we now democrats have a net gain of 39. republicans will find this as their only solace. 53 republican seats come january. there are currently 51. so they will have a net plus two. six to eight weeks ago, some republicans thought they could get plus four, plus five. they didn't get that. they will get a plus two. president trump, majority leader mitch mcconnell, will have some more space, if you will, to deal with in the republican family as the president nominates a new attorney general, perhaps as more jud
