False claim it was rigged and dominated by widespread voter fraud that actually was not. Some republicans derided trumps fire krebs. In michigan a couple of Election Officials decided they were going to try to block the outcome refusing at first to certify the vote in wayne county, which is the detroit area. Why wayne county . Because it went heavily for joe biden. Wayne county gave joe biden michig michigan. Letting voters be heard, those Election Officials ultimately relented. A lot is a strategy to erode Public Confidence in what was a well run election and we see this as a battle front not just in michigan but around the country. Its also important we call it out for what it is. These efforts are not successful. The people have spoken. The election has occurred. Then theres americas mayor turned pathetic punch line, rudy giuliani, the president s personal attorney, was in court yesterday arguing a case for the first time in 30 years and it showed. As giuliani represented the trump
Complains there. Chirp never materialized at all. Contesting results without bringing any facts to the table, and theyre doing this over and over again, so they know they know what theyre doing they know why their strategy is failing so what outcome are they really looking for here . Look, brianna, the outcome is President Trumps repeated attempt to delegitimatize the election. Part that more than 300, nearly 400 we have seen in emails trying to raise money. We have seen state after state where republicans are stepping up. And the republican governor of arizona as well is also signing off on the certification. They are being crime out. Thank you for the great report i ing. It is the top of the hour. I am brianna keilar. Theres new hope that an effective vaccine is closer. With millions of doses just weeks away. This is why a successful november is the worst month of the pandemic so far with more than 4 million cases report ed more 93,000 hospitalizations were reported. The rise in case
Thrown out or theyre losing, the perfect person to analyze. Its been amazing to watch. You have been telling us all along that their pursuits were fr fruitless. I didnt know how to put it, im glad you have given me credit for that moment. I cannot believe all of the losses. I believe in persistence. Im somebody who likes to be persistent but you have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, and its time for them to run. Thats where we are. Its time for them to run, and you know what, america is ready to move on right now. Enough of the shenanigans, were dealing with a pandemic. Its time for us to come together. It really is. I agree. And its a time especially when the holidays are approaching and were thinking and being reflective. Its a good time for people to start taking stock of whats important and priorities, and looking ahead to the future, and how do they want to really live the rest of their lives. How do they want to explain the world to their
We have seen before. But this morning, there is potentially good news. The president of the drug Company Moderna telling nbc news that its newest vaccine is more than 94 effective. And that doses could be rolled out as soon as next month. But heres the thing. We have got to get to next month first. And a lot of bad things could happen between now and then. Think about this. We just passed 11 million cases in this country. But we went from 10 million to 11 million in one single week. All weekend long we smashed records, including a new high of 176,000 cases in just one day, on friday. Triple what it was a month ago. Not only that, weve been averaging over a thousand deaths a day throughout november. The obituary page in sundays Minneapolis Star Tribune was not one page, which it normally is.

That biden has nowed to rejoin. Other picks include the first latino, and avril hanes will be the first director of national intelligence. Michigan and pennsylvania are now moving to certify joe bidens victory at soon as today. First lelts go to the cabinet picks and what they mean. Give us the surface view a little more for us. What can we expect . I think it is particularly interesting and sbruinstructive. It is part of the world when he says america is back. He is signaling that restoring americas standing on the world stage is a primary goal. I which this was an original thought, but this could be, if you look at those six faces, what a Third Obama Administration would have been if there could have been. The deputy Homeland Security secretary and then you have john perry back in the mix here. I thought that was particularly interesting being elevated to the National Security council, it means they will confront Climate Change as a National Security issue. The National Security impe
