Your mind is in the gutter. This guy is like a 7th grader. You see that in his words and tweets. This is new day with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is your new day. It is wednesday, december 13th, 6 00 in new york. The alabama special election was a huge shocker. Alabama voters told roy moore and the horse he rode in on to take a hike. He is refusing to secede. But doug jones is the winner. Alabama voters have now rejected two consecutive candidates backed by President Trump. So the question becomes, was the president s naked play for a senate seat over the growing accusations of sexual abuse and child molestation a mistake that will have legs . The National Implications cannot be overstated. It is now down to one seat, which could snarl President Trumps legislative agenda. Democrats feel more optimistic about seizing control of will both chambers of Congress Next year. They say reporterss minds are in the gutter thinking that was sexually demeaning. Gillibrand is firing back that she cannot be silenced. And there is a bruising new editorial that says the president is not fit for office. We have all of this for you. Kaylee hartung is live in alabama. Reporter we saw President Trump throw the full weight of his presidency behind accused child molester roy moore in the final stretch of this campaign. In the end it wasnt enough. A stinging defeat for trump, who broke with much of his partys leadership to back the controversial candidate. I think that i have been waiting all my life and now i just dont know what the hell to say. Reporter Democrat Doug Jones becoming the first democrat in decades to win a senate seat in alabama. Stunning the country by defeating embattled republican roy moore in the deep red state. As doctor king liked to quote the moral arc of the universe is long but bends towards justice. It is not over. What we have to do is wait on on god and let this process play out. Reporter doug joness campaign saying moore did not call jones to congratulate him. But the Alabama Republican Party declaring the race over. Do you expect anything other than mr. Jones being the stphebgs senator from the state of alabama . I would find that highly unlikely. Reporter awe source close to the white house describing it as an earthquake. Saying the results are devastating for President Trump who gave a full throeated endorsement in the final stretch of the campaign. Get out and vote is for roy moore. Reporter the president sending a subdued tweet after the race was called but before moore refused to concede. Congratulating jones on a hardfought victory. The writein votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of alabama are great, and the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. If they can destroy roy moore, they can destroy you. Reporter the super pac refused to back moore blaming bannon for the loss saying in a statement not only did he cost us a Critical Senate seat in one of the most republican states in the country but dragged the president of the United States into his fiasco. And a source close to the white house still on stepian to he resign despite the fact that he urged the president not to back moore. The president siding with bannon who a source says a moore loss could embolden democrats to go after mr. Trump over sexual allegations hes facing, allegations he vehemently has denied. Alabama secretary of state john merrill said it will take a couple of weeks to certify. It wont happen until after christmas. So it is is likely that doug jones wont be scorn in until the new year. Chris, alyson, there is no word on when well hear from roy moore next. Kaylee, appreciate it. Lets bring in gregory and professor ron brownstein. Gregory, you heard people saying this is nationalized. Its all about alabama. Keep it local. It wasnt. Both parties ran down to have an outcome. Now we have an outcome. What are the implications . We are living in an age where politics are so unpredictable. This is a stunning example of that. Alabama has just sent a democrat to the United States senate. And, you know, the star wars movie is coming out of the weekend. I think we can say the Empire Strikes back. A rejection of a style of politics that is defined by steve bannon and donald trump. Their own voters dont come out in the same numbers that they did for donald trump for roy moore. Incredibly flawed, morally repugnant candidate in roy p politics. Disturb an voters disapproving of trump, of moore. Africanamericans coming out in huge numbers as well. And the establishment of the Republican Party saying, no, this is the wrong direction. And ultimately that prevails. Rchard shell but, senior statesmen coming out so decisively at the end of this suke el. Democrats emboldened. Now alabama. They are saying we can turn things armed after a 2016 loss. The voter turn out was high. It wasnt 20 as predicted. It was 40 . Does that mean the democratic turnout machine was better than thought or people were motivated . People were motivated. We saw a high turnout in virginia as well. Roy moore, to say the obvious, was a candidate with unique vulnerablities and liabilities. But how much this result had in common with what we saw in virginia, new jersey and for that matter about who approves and disapproves of President Trump to begin with. As we talked about yesterday, alisyn, three components all clicked together. It was huge africanamerican turnout and margins. They were a bigger turnout yesterday than in the 2012 race. They turned out more for doug jones than for barack obama. You see this historic republican trouble with donald trump with younger voters. He won 60 of millennials but everybody under 45 in alabama. That is after 70 in new jersey and virginia. The disapproval with trump is about 70 . The third piece that came together was a Significant Movement towards the democrats, again as in virginia and new jersey, among College Educated suburban white voters. That was double what obama did. And women. College educated white women. We talked about this before. The gap between the college and nonCollege Educated was enormous. At one point jones got to 40 among college whites. He ran 20 points better than Hillary Clinton in heavily white collar counties like madison, shelby and with the university of alabama and auburn. Among College Educated whites who are not aoe sraevangelicals jones won two 30s of those nonevangelical college whites. That is ominous. One of the reasons it was helpful to watch last night, that state moved from the north and Central Regions of manufacturing, the ruby red republican, evangelical and down. You got to see the staggered returns in realtime. There is a mystery that the evangelical vote has to figure out. How can they be so in on someone with so many checks on his morality . Boy, there seems to be such a disconnect between what is in the good book and what they are backing in candidates. 80 plus to 18 were the numbers last night. And the bigger question of why, why doug jones won. I stated in the introduction it seemed to be a call to decency that was responded to. Do you think thats true, or is it being too optimistic . I think there was a call to decency and just a rejection of roy moore as someone who has embarrassed the state deeply within political circles. From the outside we were looking at alabama. It is easy to caricature the state and its voters on roy moore. Will alabama set that record straight. Yeah, there may be a core base for roy moore and what he stands for but it was not enough to prevail in the state. Thats very important. It shows something that trump is something of a singular figure and dont necessarily transfer to other candidates. That is something he will have to take stock of. He has this divided, very Uneasy Coalition as he moves into being head of the party in 2018 and then of course in 2020. The evangelical piece bears i think deeper examination and more time. I think the high points of that are a deep strain of pragmatism that runs that in that community that is not about morality as such as who can, a, win and, b, who will validate who evangelicals are. It goes back to the 19th century where they didnt want to look like fools in the battles over evolution in the scope trials. A legitimacy. I think evangelicals as a political block are not voting on the whole picture. Theyre being organized and are intense around issues like, you know, generally the role of god in life and kind of the millennial understanding of the end of days for some. And issues like the core like abortion and so forth. Real quick, recognizing roy moore has problems, what you see is the continuation of a big trend under donald trump and the way he is defining the party, republicans are training improved performance among older, blue collar evangelical and rural whites for awe significant erosion of minority voters, urban voters, white collar exactly what you saw last night. The flip between urban and rural was huge. The flip between straight evangelical versus noneach van gel cal College Educated was huge. And the groups that are growing. In a suburbanizing, urbanizing that is more diverse where millennials will exceed the baby boom, those are what the trump era gop is trading away for very strong hands. Those voters matter. Democrats have to win more to control the house and the snate. In the cosmic scheme of things you see in alabama, as you did in virginia and new jersey, the trump definition of the party is driving away a very consistent coalition. Can i just say, too, look at the brand of democrat thats been winning. It is not the Bernie Sanders win of the party. I think there is something to take away from that. I think it is specific to being in alabama and specific to being in virginia as well. But i think there is something to take away from that. In these races you do have one opponent against another. And i think that the vulnerabilities of Hillary Clinton led to certain demographic trends we saw in that race that are being up ended here that was about her as a candidate and trump running an inside straight in that election. Thats something to keep watching as we try to make this into a pattern. Thats what rons expertise is by looking at the numbers. We have to see if this continues to be borne out. Is very quickly, ron, in terms of the numbers going forward, the balance of power doesnt shift. The tax vote is safe. Right. But going forward, it just gets much slimmer. Right. Absolutely. On the tax vote, what weve seen one of the clearest things, as we have said, in all of these races is a big white collar movement away from the republicans. You have in northern virginia, suburbs of philadelphia, orange county, new york, and new jersey, a lot of republicans being asked to vote for a bill that because the way it would raise taxes on many of the same voters who are pulling away from President Trump on cultural and personal grounds. That is a big ask worth noting. 87 in virginia. 82 in new jersey. 85 in alabama. The president is a lot less popular than he was in alabama f. Youre one of those republicans, you have to hear footfalls even as youre being asked to vote for this bill. Ron brownstein, gregory, thank you very much for all the analysis this morning. We will get perspective throughout the morning on what this means. The president upset, looking around for who to blame because of this latest kurps. Occurrence. We want to seal the deal on what happened in this election. We have alabama secretary of state. Very important. Because he suffice the election. He makes it official. So what is this state .

This time senator Kirsten Gillibrand who called what he said about her a sexist smear. The white house is pushing back saying it wasnt sexist at all, in fact, blaming anyone who thinks that for having a mind in the gutter. Joe johns is live at the white house with more. Joe, whats the story . Reporter well, chris, the controversy over the president s tweet that got the most attention was an insult that was contained in the things he wrote there indicating that senator Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the most prominent female officeholders in washington, d. C. Would come begging to his office for contributions and would do anything for them. That was construed by the president s critics as containing sexual innuendo, especially given the fact that the president had used that kind of language before. The position from the White House Press secretary was pretty simple, that people were reading things into the president s tweet that simply were not there. Listen. I think all of your mind is in the gutter if you have read it that way. It is obviously talking about political partisan games that people often play and the broken system that he has talked about repeatedly. This isnt new. This isnt awe new sentiment. This isnt new terminology. He has used it several times before. Reporter but this controversy was certainly not going to end there because senator gillibrand herself was not about to give the president the benefit of the doubt. It was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice. And i will not be silenced on this issue. Neither will the women who stood up to the president yesterday. Reporter this latest controversy coming in the midst of the me too movement where a number of democrats, including senator gillibrand, are calling on the president to resign. Others of course asking for an investigation into the president s treatment of women. Chris and alisyn, back to you. He joe, thank you very much. Lets bring back gregory and editor at large chris cillizza. Lets start with the tweet from yesterday. It came out on our watch. He yeah. So we had to react in realtime. There was no getting around that parenthetical suggestion of what Kirsten Gillibrand suggested she would do for campaign contributions. We had to stop just to each other. Wait. Is that what that a is saying . As usual, alisyn assumed i was making it up. It couldnt believe it was that explicit. They say our minds are either in the gutter. That means theyre tone deaf or theyre fudging this again. Yeah. Look, i think the reality of Sarah Huckabee sanderss job is donald trump does stuff and she finds way to normalize what he does. She signed on for it. This is not an excuse. But thats what she does. If it doesnt have sexual innuendo to it, then what does it mean . I expect more time than i would like to admit trying to figure that. Is he just unaware of how words mean things so the begging reference before would seem to suggest or is she was willing to promise political or policy favors . If you give me this money i will do something on a bill for you. But thats not at all what its implying. You can say well, its twitter. Sit 280 characters. You could say legislation
