Insisting against all evidence that he won states like pennsylvania. Even though pennsylvania, of course, has certified joe biden is, in fact, the winner. And who ill the war from the white house may be lost, the battle for georgia is heating up. We know President Trump will be in georgia next weekend to campaign for Kelly Loeffler and david purdue. We are learning Vice President pence will go there as well. The stakes for republicans couldnt be higher. Lose those two senate seats and they lose control of the senate and with it the ability to block the agenda of the new bind administration. After claiming the election in georgia was rigged, can the gop persuade voters to turn out when they need them the most . Of course, all of this is happening who ill the coronavirus poke is growing worse and worse. For 26 straight day, nearly all of november, the u. S. Has reported more than 100,000 new cases a day. A day. We start now at the white house. Cnns jeremy dimon is there. President trump has yet to accept defeat. Today he continues spreading these claims about the election. What is the latest you are hearing at the white house . Reporter well, the president has been doing what he has been doing over the past threeplus weeks, expressing widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. Today he has focused on wisconsin and pennsylvania. But the president s claims now versus what they were three weeks ago, they now come against this backdrop of 30plus cases that the president s campaign and their ally versus now lost or had to withdraw in state and federal courts in key battleground states in the country. Eighth tally that is 81 mining the president s climbs about voter fraud and really bulking up the case for the fact there wasnt voter fraud. No judge in any of these state and federal cases so far has backed up the president s claim that the 2020 election was rigged. Rather, these cases have been thrown out of court, laughed out of court, according to some. The latest blow is coming from a trump appointed judge on the Third Circuit court of appeals base in pennsylvania. This is the ruling from judge beba who rejected the appeal and attempts to try to dessertfy the attempts in pennsylvania. He writes, calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here. The campaigns claims have no merits. Again, this is the latest such stating our argument that you hear from judges in cases across the country. These courtroom defeats are now also being compounded by losses that the president and his team are facing as they try and get recounts to change the outcome of the election. The latest blow coming in the state of wisconsin, where the president again is baselessly allege fraud today. The president s campaign requested and paid for a 3 million recount in two key counties in the states of wisconsin. The results came through in Milwaukee County and joe bidens lead actually increased by 132 votes after that recount was completed. The state of wisconsin is set to certify that election come tuesday. Thank you, very interesting to see there. You said that the claims have no merit. Thats what that judge said. It really sticks out there thanks, so much. We will turn now to the pandemic and if you threats on the horizon thanks to the holidays. The very things we crave this time of year. Like family gatherings, shopping for presents are exactly the kind of behaviors that helped spread this killer virus. We want to talk now with cnn medical analyst former Baltimore Health commissioner and dr. James philips, chief of medicine. Thank you for spending saturday night with us, you guys. Dr. Philips, where would you expect to see this first evidence, if, indeed, thanksgiving has become a super spreader event across the country. When do you think we will start seeing evidence of that . Thanks for having me on. Its a matter of averages. So when we talk about the incubation period of this virus, its important to think of it in a bellshaped curve. We know the majority of people will be sick. 97 of people, if they will develop symptoms will develop them by day 12. But the median about more than half of people will develop symptoms by day five so what that means is that this monday, this tuesday when people return from the outpour tomorrow, if they have been at home a few days, they will start to have symptoms. Give that a week. The following monday is when most people who will get sick will feel sick. On average, as an emergency physician, what we see is people come to hospital about day ten of their illness, its when their body will declare whether or not they will recover or require hospitalization and care. So i anticipate that week, the 15th to the 20 secretary when we will see that dramatic rise in hospitalizations. On average, people live anywhere from three days to three weeks in the hospital before they succumb to the disease if theyre going to. So were going to see a rise in deaths from thanksgiving continuing through christmas. Oh, its awful to think about it. On that note, thanksgiving weekend kicks off as were saying weeks of celebrating. We got hanukkah, christmas, new years. That may be when we see these hospitalizations go up. Do expectation versus to change how we are spending the holiday this is year . Obviously, i know they did for thanksgiving. What advice are you offering people for the rest of the Holiday Season . You are right, expectations absolutely have to change. We just added 4 million new cases of covid19 in november alone, which is double the number we added in october. There is virus that is running rampant across the u. S. This is the time for us to really hunker down, not let our guard down, not congregate, gather indoor, even with loved once outside of our extended family. I real easy this is the opposite of what we would normally do over christmas, hasnt ka and the new year. We have to remember, we have vaccines on the horizon, things are going to look very different in the spring and summer. But we have to get through this year so my advice is can sell your Holiday Travel tirnths cancel all nonessential travel. Things will be so much worse if december tan it is in november and the only way to cover it indoors to gather with your loved ones is if you quarantine for 14 days and get deficit. Thats not going to be practical for most people. Can sell your trip now knowing we can celebrate christmas, hanukk hanukkah, in july. Well look ahead to 2020. Well talk a little bit about that vaccine. On monday, a cdc committee is going to hold an emergency meeting to prioritize who will get that vaccine first . So how important is it for front line medical workers to be high on that list . And who else do you anticipate will be high up on that list . Well, its important that they meet. Its great to see the leadership at the federal level make these decisions so they can then trickle down to the state and local government officials as well so everybody is not trying to do this ad hoc. Its unusual and awkward from yet an emergency physician to say world wide its been accepted for decade of pandemic planning that the front line healthcare workers will be the first to get vaccinated. When you remember, when we talk about surnls of patients into hospitals requires three things. Space requires stuff. It requires staff. You can have all the hospital beds you want, if you dont have the nurses to take care of those patients, the healthy doctors to make those plans, then you cant haveish in those beds. It is important they get this vaccine early. Now, what we will see is an egg witable distribution to the most of allnerable populations. This will be the story, making sure we are not discriminating. Getting to the places its needed the most. The communities most impacted. People of color. While at the same time we are not discriminating against people with disabilities, of older age and things of that nature so there have been ethicists working on this for decade, more importantly in the last few months. I am looking forward to what the cdc guidelines are. Its an important and critical conversation they will be having. Dr. Wen, do you have trepidation about getting it early . Its different than early round of fda testing. Do you have any apprehension about that at all . Well, we know the fda will have an external committee that is meeting to discuss the emergency use authorization december 10th. And i want to see whats the advice coming out of this committee is going to be. Emergency use authorization is something given only in emergencies, which absolutely this pandemic s. It means we are expediting the process because there is a real consequence to waiting. We have more than a thousand soon to be more than 2,000 people dying a day because of covid19. So we do need to expedite it. We also need to make sure it passes a pretty high barrier or high bar when it comes to safety and efficacy, because we are giving there to previously healthy individuals. I hope the fda will make all the data transparent, available to everyone to see. Because ultimately the vaccines do not only need to be safe and effective. It need to be trusted. So i look forward to seeing the recommendations coming out of that committee. Dr. Philips, any thoughts on getting the vaccine right away for yourself . If the data pans out, like it seems like it will. If the experts that are career professionals in the fda, cdc, nih, if they all come together including the independent panel and deem it safe, you can bet ill be the first in line to take it if its offered. All right. Our thanks to both of you. Have a great night, thanks so much. Georgia is now the center of the political universe. President trump says hes headed to the state to campaign for two republican senators in runoff elections. But how will his false narrative of widespread fraud impact the race . And the balance of power in washington. You look smokin. Total smokeshow. And they never did find his finger. They had to close the pool for like an hour. I brought a date. Names sam. Dig in. Love is like boston lager. Rich, complex and its over too soon. Right, chrissy . Oh my god. Now, theres skyrizi.

Joe bidens upset with inif georgia stunned the republican party. Now the gop wants to make sure it maintains control of the senate by winning the two runoff races in georgia. The partys biggest opponent there could be apathy and there is a worry that after weeks of hearing how the election was rigged that some Republican Voters will believe it and stay home. Ryan nobles is in marietta. The president is headed to georgia soon as well as the Vice President. First the republican partys point person held what became a bit of an erring of grievances today. Yeah. Jessica, republicans here are really downplaying this idea that President Trumps most ardent supporters have lost confidence in the electoral process and wont show up on january 5th to vote in this very important runoff election. We keep running in instances, we are at republican events. You see these people voice their concerns about the electoral process. This event with ronna mcdannel took an awkward turn 20 minutes after she began her remarks from this question, she started fielding questions from people at the event. They were all about the election in november, these supporters demanding she and the Republican National committee do more to help President Trump overturn the results not just across the country but specifically here in georgia. Take a listen to what they have to say. Its not decided. This is the key. Its not decided. If you lose your faith and you dont vote and people walk away, that will decide it. So we have to work hard, trust us, were fighting. Were looking at every legal avenue. For now, because people are losing here. So if you heard what that woman said, she said to ronna mcdaniel, why should we even vote if the outcome has been decide . This is an exam of how there are a number of voters here who have lost confidence in this system because President Trump has routinely said over and over against the election ras rigged. In fact, theyve lost confidence in the Republican Leaders who ran this election. Brian kevin, who is the governor of georgia. He is a very passionate supporter of President Trump. There is someone in the audience who called him a crook. J es car, it demonstrates this tight rope that these republican candidates are walking. They cant alienate the trump supporters. Theyre the base of the party. They need them to come out and vote. At the same time, they need to remind them of whats at stake in january. The republicans need to win one of these seats if they hope to maintain their majority in washington. It will be their last bathion of p bassion of power and the Democratic Party having a vote here. Programs President Trumps visit here a week from today will help demonstrate that he wants people to vote for these candidates. Right now, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty. It will be interesting to see the talks about the election being rigged. We saw chairman mcdaniel talking, did she seem to break through at all . Reporter you know, i will say this. She did seem to convince at least this group that we were with about the importance of getting out and voting for david purdue and Kelly Loeffler. She did a good job of convincing the group it was important. The question is how far is this doubt . How far has it seeped into the general Republican Votership . Thats something thats difficult to quantify right now. Republicans i talked to believe firmly at the end of the day, republicans will come around and do what is necessary to get these candidates over the finish line. Traditionally, republicans have faired better in these runoff elections. If it was as close as it was in the general election. They will not be able to take any vote for granted. It shows how much difficult and more work they will have. Ryan nobles in georgia tonight. Thanks, so much. With me now valerie jarrett, the former Senior Adviser to barack obama and also the best selling author of finding my voice, my journey to the west wing and the path forward. Its wonderful to have you on tonight. Its interesting. Democrats may be eagerly watching the gop asitative try to convention voters they need to take this runoff seriously after the president s claims of election fraud. I am curious if you think the democrats are at risk of seeing too many own voters staying home because the president ial race has already been decided there . Good evening, jessica. No, i dont think so. There is a lot of energy on the ground in georgia. People like Stacey Abrams has been organizing for months to get people registered to vote and turn out to vote. I think the democrats are focused on began. The National Attention is on it. The spotlight is on it. I think the democrats will turn out to vote. I will say i think the republican strategy is backfiring. And it also, though, more importantly, is trying to undermine the integrity of our elections. Everyone across the country has said who is in official capacity says the election was fair and honest and weve had one lawsuit after another being thrown out. My focus and i think i am hoping the American Peoples focus is, what can we do to support gabe id . What can we do for this coronavirus . We build our economy stronger, make sure america is safe. We have real challenges ahead. I think its time to focus on that i am hopeful the democrats will win both those seats in georgia. If it is any indication, we have to close storm. You mentioned stacy abrams efforts there. A lot of people credit her for turning georgia blue in this cycle. How much of an impact that will have and joe biden going down there will have . We know his chief of staff expects to see biden down there before these runoff elections. Well, look joe biden won georgia the first time in decades that a democrat won the state. I think a lot of that credit goes to people like stacy and Many Organizations that have been working since the Gubernatorial Election a couple years ago. So the foundation is there. Now the key is turnout. I think there is a lot of energies as i said earlier, its going to build towards a high turnout. I think if thats the case campaigning down there is nothing but a positive. I want to ask you, too, about former president obama, the Biden Campaign sent him into georgia the day before election day. He was their top surrogate down there. Hes tweeted about the georgia runoffs, do you anticipate he gets back on the campaign trail for these two democrats down in georgia . I dont have anything to announce for you tonight about his travel plans, but i know he is watching it very closely. Because he knows what its like to have a congress. He knows how important it will be for joe biden to have a strong house and a senate thats prepared to move forward legislation that benefits the American People and hes experienced what its like with mcconnell and his unwillingness to work with anyone in the white house. Its the democrats that move the agenda. Its an important race for the party and the country. We will tackle the big challenges that lie ahead. Right. Joyed has talked a lot about coming together, about a bipartisan atmosphere he hopes to rebuild here in washington. He wants to work with republicans. The former gop House Speaker paul ryan says if the republicans within these two senate seats, it will be good because it will force this bipartisanship. What do you make of this idea . Do you think thats true . No, i dont, actually, it wasnt the case when president obama was in of
