Kristen, peter. Just treacherous for all those holiday travelers. Thank you so much. Well get the rest of your National Forecast in a new minutes. President trump is spending the Holiday Weekend at his fls estate. Hes facing a new deadline deciding on whether hell participate in the impeachment hearings. Kelly odonnell has more. The president has some decisions to make. Will he send his lawyers or white house lawyers to the next hearing and will he request any of his own witnesses . The choice puts him in a bind because hes complained about being excluded, but he also calls it a sham process. The president spending the rest of this long Holiday Weekend in florida and facing a new deadline from House Democrats. By 5 00 p. M. , december 6th, the white house must notify the House Judiciary Committee if the president intended to participate in the impeachment hearing going forward. This new letter from nadler friday describes a months long effort in which President Trump again sought foreign interference in our election for his personal benefit by urgie i ukraine to investigate joe and hunter biden. Cooperation now could understcu his rallying try the supporters. A witch hunt and theyre pushing the impeachment witch hunt. The white house called it an illegitimate sham partisan process. This comes as the president is on the world stage, making his first trip the to afghanistan to visit troops as a thanksgiving surprise. Were boldly confronting americas adversaries and pursuing a Foreign Policy based squarely on our national interests. And beginning tuesday, the president is in london to mark the 70th anniversary of the nato alliance, meeting european leaders including france and germany, with a reception hosted by queen elizabeth. Expect the white house to highlight the contrast. As the president is representing the country overseas, House Democrats will hold their next public hearing on impeachment wednesday. And the wednesday hearing has a soon er deadline. Tomorrow, for the white house to respond, but the new deadline next friday is much more sweeping and it covers any of the future proceedings held by the Judiciary Committee and in part, democrats dont want to have any last minute surprises. Peter. Kelly, thank you. John harwood covers washington, the economy and National Politics for cnbc. John, good morning. Morning, peter. Lets talk about the president if we can. House democrats giving him a deadline of next friday for he and his lawyers to decide if theyre going to r participate in what he is decried as a partisan sham or if theyre just going to sit it out. Whats his calculus here . Well, i think as kelly laid out in her piece, the president s overarching goal here is to discredit the process. And by participating, you lend some credibility, so i think the widespread expectation is that he will not participate. Remember, House Republicans earlier in the process, were complaining it was secret process then when they had b public hearings with the intelligence committee, they said oh, its a partisan circus. Republicans want to make everyone think this is an illegitimate effort by democrats to overturn the results of the election. I would not expect the president to be a participant. Its high stakes for democrats as well, right . They have the election thats going to be heating up in the new year. Many americans seem to have already decided how they feel about this entire process. So how much pressure is there on democrats to move the needle . I think theres a lot of pressure, kristen, and it will come particularly in how the House Judiciary Committee outlines those articles of impeachment. This is an opportunity for democrats to raise the stakes of this process as we get to the actual impeachment and the clarity in which they can make their case against the president will determine what a lot of those casual voters who havent really turned in when they see this is something really grave for the country, thats the moment where democrats have a real opportunity. Thats where theyve got to do it if they can. Speaking of democrats, the 2020 race is heating up. Now just two months away from the first contest. There appears to be some shifting amongst the democrats. Warrens numbers are dropping. Joe biden remains the same. Buttigieg is rising. How do you see the state of the race . I think big story is the rise of pete buttigieg. Now joe biden has been resilient even though hes not leading in iowa or new hampshire, he has that very strong base among africanamerican voters. Can his position now to rebound in South Carolina if he shouldnt win those first two states, but i think the drama now is whether or not warren is restart the momentum, go at buttigieg. Buttigieg is counting on biden to fade and if that is the way in which he gets into a one oneonone with elizabeth warren, Bernie Sanders of course has been resilient. Hes still in the race as well. But this thing is wide open with two months to go and you cant even rule out the idea that one of the lagging candidates, whether its corey boy booker o klobuchar could make a run late in this process. Weve seen in iowa, if you get hot in the end, you can get some takeoff and the fact that its the, the caucuses are in february rather than january, gives them more time. Always a good reminder that windows closing. Thanks. Also this saturday, the Holiday Shopping season is officially in full swing. Now that black friday has come and gone and with 25 days to go until christmas, hard b to believe. Retailers are pull iing out all the stops to get your business and so far, business is very good. Especially online. Blaine alexander is outside a target store in georgia with more. Good assignment today. B absolutely, good morning to you and you know what, i think we found the secret to beating all of the crowds. This target store doesnt open for another 45 minutes so its probably the only time that youll ever see the ales this empty, but at target stores around the country and other stores receive plenty of this. Hot of deals inside, but numbers show more and more, people are relying on their smart phones to shop this Holiday Season. Ready, set, shop. From crowded stores to online clicks, its beginning to look a lot like a record setting Holiday Shopping season. Once the flood gates open, its nonstop, steady. And for many retailers, Online Shopping is the gift that keeps on give iing. On black friday alone, consumers spent 7. 6 billion online. A new record. Thats more than 5 million every minute. Weve seen a 33 increase in online pick up in store. Our surveys indicate that 82 of shop shoppers that are going to take advantage of that mar buying method will continue to shop once they get to the store to pick up their items. In all, on line sales are projected to hit 143 billion this season. And on black friday, more than 40 of Online Purchases remain from smart phones. A great option if youre not up to braving the crowds. On a scale of one to ten, how is black friday going so far . We just got here and im ready to leave. Too many people. We cant concentrate. Some of the biggest discounts this year are on items like Sports Apparel and alliances and big screen tvs, you can expect to see the largest discounts on cyber monday. Around 30 off. All of it, enough to send shoppers flocking to the brick and Mortar Stores for the sales or just for sport. Its different than walking into the store and shopping. So you like being among the crowds. Love chaos. You heard her. She absolutely loves chaos and many people love flocking to these stores. Believe it or not, if youre searching for the deals, the calendar may work in your favor this year because thanksgiving was later this year, so there are fewer days between thanksgiving day and christmas day, meaning stores are certainly competing for your attention and money. Rolling out plenty of o incentives this year. Back to you. Thank you.
