BREAKING — Donald Trump Jr. tested positive for Covid earlier this week and is quarantining privately. The news broke seven hours after Andrew Giuliani, a special assistant to President Donald Trump and the son of Rudy Giuliani, announced he had tested positive for coronavirus.

THE GOP’S CONCESSION STAND — Trump dropped his final federal lawsuit in Michigan on Thursday, but he continues to baselessly claim that he won the election. “I won, by the way,” he said today.

Trump’s refusal to concede may become a story Republicans continue to tell after he leaves the White House in January, chief political correspondent Tim Alberta told the Nightly today. Very few Republican officeholders have joined Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah to condemn Trump’s actions. The middle-of-the-road position in the party right now is the one taken by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: Trump is just exercising his valid legal rights.

Figuring out how to describe Trump’s exit from the White House will be tricky for Republicans in years ahead, Tim suggested. “Anyone who hopes to have a future in this party, it’s simple,” he said. “You gotta be very careful with what you say that contradicts the president.”

Watch to see if Tim can break down the GOP’s response to Trump’s election challenges in 3 minutes or less.

Welcome to POLITICO Nightly. Our Tyler Weyant noticed that Gabrielle Union liked a tweet on political outreach in last night’s viral Verzuz event (more in Parting Words below). While our greatest wish is that her and Dwyane Wade were inspired to chat about political engagement, we’d also love for her to talk with us about celebrity activism.

WHY LATINOS DRIFTED TRUMP-WARD — Trump lost the presidency but showed Republicans a way to win in the culture wars with working-class Hispanics, Marc Caputo writes. While Joe Biden still won Latino voters overall, Trump improved his margins in 80 of the nation’s 99 majority-Hispanic counties. And he did better than he did in 2016 with Latinos in exit polls of each of the top 10 battleground states, a POLITICO review of election data found.

Trump’s gains weren’t limited to Miami’s Cuban-Americans or borderland Tejanos. Although Florida and Texas stood out for their notable shift, Puerto Ricans as far away as Philadelphia and Mexican Americans in Milwaukee drifted Trump-ward, too.

No factor was as salient as Trump’s blue-collar appeal for Latinos. “Most Latinos identify first as working-class Americans, and Trump spoke to that,” said Josh Zaragoza, a top Democratic data specialist in Arizona, adding that Hispanic men in particular “are very entrepreneurial. Their economic language is more aligned with the way Republicans speak: pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, owning your own business.”

But Trump also improved his showing among Latinos by scaling back some of his immigration rhetoric and engaging in a sustained bilingual social media and TV ad campaign that courted Latinos based on place of origin, gender and religion.

AROUND THE NATION

MACHINE BREAKDOWN  The longest-serving state legislative leader in American history is losing his grip on power as a federal investigation pounds his allies and lackluster election results undermine his influence, Illinois Playbook author Shia Kapos writes.

Democrats began to publicly turn on Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan over the summer, after an inquiry into influence peddling by a local electric utility company came to light. The revolt against Madigan accelerated this week, and by Thursday enough legislators had fled Madigan to deny him his title in January, potentially stripping him of the post he’s largely held since 1983.

Earlier this week, federal prosecutors charged one of Madigan’s confidants and three former ComEd executives in an alleged scheme to give no-work jobs and internships to Madigan allies in exchange for favorable legislation. Madigan has not been charged, but he was quickly identified as “Public Official A” in federal documents because the official is described as the Illinois speaker, a position only two people have held in nearly 40 years.

BIDENOLOGY

Illustration of Joe Biden

Matt Wuerker

Welcome to Bidenology, Nightly’s look at the president-elect and what to expect in his administration. Tonight, to go with cake and party hats, Nightly’s Renuka Rayasam, a Scorpio like Biden, reached out to astrologer Susan Miller to learn what astrology tells us to expect from the president-elect.

It’s Joe Biden’s birthday today, which will make him the sixth Scorpio president in the country’s history and the first Scorpio in the White House in more than 150 years. (Hillary Clinton and Michael Dukakis were also Scorps; both lost to Geminis.)

I reached out to Miller because she’s wildly popular, but also because she predicted, in her monthly horoscope, the day a good friend would meet her husband. They’re both Libras, and she told Libras they should force themselves to go out that night because a chance encounter would change their lives. Still, I’m not Nancy Reagan. I even got married, I think, during Mercury Retrograde, which is a big no-no in Susan Miller’s world. But Miller’s predictions are like comfort food: hard to resist even if they aren’t good for us.

She said she’s a political junkie, and she was prepared with Biden’s chart when I reached her at her New York home this afternoon. First, however, she had a few observations on other matters, ranging from when Trump will finally concede — there’s a new moon in Sagittarius on Dec. 14, which also happens to be when the Electoral College casts their votes — to how Amy Coney Barrett will vote on the Supreme Court. (Barrett is an Aquarius, so don’t tell her what to do.)

Miller said she would try not to let her political bias affect her reading of Biden’s chart. He’s a Scorpio with Sagittarius rising which means, she said, he is intuitive, discreet, private, looks for the truth and is good at raising money. His moon is in Taurus which means that he is a quiet, patient builder — if they say they are going to do something, they do it. His Sun, Mercury and Venus are in the 12th house, which means he is strategic: good at directing things behind the scenes. His Jupiter is in the house of money, which means he will be focused on jobs and the working person.

But what about Biden’s pledge to bridge the country’s political divides? It turns out that won’t happen until 2022 when Pluto will be in the same position (in America’s chart) where it was during the American Revolution.

“I’m actually surprised that Mitch McConnell is acting the way he is,” Miller said. “He’s a Pisces. That surprised me. Usually Pisces are flexible.”

ON THE HILL

SCOTT ADDS TO CONGRESS COVID CONCERNS  Sen. Rick Scott tested positive for Covid-19, the second senator to contract the virus this week . In a statement today, the Florida Republican said he’d previously tested negative before receiving a positive diagnosis this morning.

Scott, who will chair the GOP Senate campaign arm, has been isolating for the past week after encountering an individual infected with coronavirus. “I am feeling good and experiencing very mild symptoms,” Scott said. “I will be working from home in Naples until it is safe for me to return to Washington, D.C. I want to remind everyone to be careful and do the right things to protect yourselves and others.“

FROM THE HEALTH DESK

UP-PILL BATTLE — Trump unveiled a plan today to link government payments for medicines to lower prices paid abroad and another to eliminate rebates, in a last-ditch effort to deliver on a 2016 campaign promise to slash drug prices, health care reporter Sarah Owermohle writes.

The unusual scramble to release the sweeping drug pricing rules just two months before his presidential term ends comes after Trump expressed frustration with pharmaceutical companies that he believes slow-walked positive coronavirus vaccine news, three sources familiar with the discussion told POLITICO this week. Today is also the last day the administration can release a rule that could be finalized before Biden assumes office.

Trump first raised the prospect of linking prices to an international index as one of a slew of ambitious proposals to lower drug prices. The idea raised drug companies’ hackles and divided the GOP.

The plan would tie Medicare payments for 50 costly medicines administered in the doctor’s office — including pricey therapies for cancer and rheumatoid arthritis — based on a “blending formula” that includes the lowest adjusted international price for the product among a group of OECD countries with similar GDPs to the U.S. The policy would exempt some providers, including hospitals for children, cancer patients and critical care, plus rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers and Indian Health Service facilities.

FROM THE DEFENSE DESK

PENTAGON PULLS BACK  The Defense Department will impose new Covid restrictions next week for the thousands of people who work in the Pentagon, a move that comes as officials race to contain a potential outbreak in the building’s senior civilian ranks, defense reporter Lara Seligman writes.

The decision to move to a higher health protection status next Thursday was made earlier in the week and not in response to the news on Thursday that Anthony Tata , the temporary Pentagon policy chief, had tested positive for the virus, Chief Management Officer Lisa Hershman told POLITICO today. Rather, the change was driven by the recent spike in coronavirus cases in the Washington region.

As part of the move to raise the Pentagon’s health protection level from “Bravo” to “Bravo Plus,” the building will go down from 80 to 60 percent maximum occupancy. Officials expect the actual occupancy of the building to be much lower in the coming weeks; the Pentagon has not been above 50 percent occupancy since the early days of the pandemic. In addition, the Pentagon will double the number of temperature checks on workers entering the building.

PARTING WORDS

CULTURE VERZUZ POLITICS — Campaigns reporter Maya King emails Nightly:

If Georgia is the heart of today’s political universe, Atlanta is the heartbeat. Any politico or hip-hop fan would agree. And more than 2 million of them logged on to Instagram on Thursday evening to witness a moment sure to go down in hip-hop history: Two of the South’s most highly regarded rap artists, Gucci Mane and Jeezy, set aside a 15-year feud to play their greatest hits on the wildly popular Verzuz webcast series.

While an Instagram Live rap battle is not the first place most would think to go for political messaging, in Georgia — a state Biden won by fewer than 15,000 votes — it’s prime real estate. So it was fitting that Stacey Abrams would open the evening via a video call to Magic City, the famed Atlanta strip club hosting the event.

Abrams set the tone for a night that was as political as it wasn’t. Referring to the event as the “Verzuz to end all Verzuz”, she lauded both Gucci Mane and Jeezy for their work in getting formerly incarcerated people registered to vote and underlining the high stakes of January’s Senate runoff elections. Minutes before, Georgia announced that it had completed its statewide audit and confirmed Biden’s victory in the state.

“Can you wipe my record clean?” Gucci Mane asked Abrams jokingly. She responded saying that was a job for the governor — adding, “We’ll have to think about that later.”

After her remarks, voting groups like When We All Vote, the New Georgia Project and the NAACP flooded social media and the event’s comments section with calls to register to vote and head to the polls. The political messages mixed with viewers’ compliments to the DJ and remarks about the room’s gaudy furniture.

Abrams is not the first political figure to join such an event. Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance during Brandy and Monica’s Verzuz in September, with a similar reminder to viewers to register and vote.

Verzuz, the brainchild of producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, has offered its loyal fan base — comprised mainly of hip-hop and R&B aficionados — a respite from the news cycle during a year that has been particularly difficult for African Americans. These greatest hit-style revues started in March and take place on Instagram every three to four weeks, bringing artists like Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle or Monica and Brandy to a socially distanced space to play their music and reflect on their careers.

Last night’s event reached 1.8 million livestreamers, a record for the platform, and points to its influence on pop culture at a time when live in-person concerts are no longer an option.

FOCUS: Robert Reich | Georgia Runoffs: How You Can Help Flip the Senate
Robert Reich. (photo: Getty)
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog
Reich writes: "The battle for the Senate is far from over."

Both of Georgia’s Senate races are going into runoffs, as no candidate in either race received more than 50 percent of the vote.

Reverend Raphael Warnock is facing off against Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler. And Jon Ossoff is challenging Republican David Perdue.

The winners of the races, and – therefore – control of the Senate, will be decided on January 5th. If both Warnock and Ossoff win their races, the Senate is tied 50-50. And with Kamala Harris as Vice President, she’ll have the tie-breaking vote.

Here’s what you need to know about the Republicans defending their seats.

Kelly Loeffler has used her brief tenure in Congress to praise Trump at every turn, ignore the needs of her constituents, and protect her own bottom line.

In April, it was reported that she made millions of dollars worth of stock trades before the public knew about the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and the likelihood of a stock market crash. She began making trades the same day Congress received a classified briefing about the virus, and just four days later she accused Democrats of fearmongering about the virus and parroted Trump’s line that everything was under control. She has denied knowing anything about the trades, but the whole saga reeks of corruption.

Senator David Perdue also began making suspicious stock trades on January 24th, the day of the classified briefing. That same day, he bought stock in DuPont, a chemical company that produces personal protective equipment. Throughout the pandemic, he joined Loeffler in praising Trump’s deadly response and downplayed the virus to the public.

Perdue and Loeffler represent one of the worst tenets of today’s GOP: governing for personal gain while ignoring the needs of their constituents.

They’re also emblematic of the party’s overt racism: Loeffler called the movement for Black lives and racial justice “divisive” and claimed it “seeks to destroy American principles”, and Perdue recently went viral for intentionally mispronouncing Kamala Harris’ name at a Trump rally.

Loeffler has even been endorsed by right-wing extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon promoter with a history of making racist comments.

Oh, and they’re happy to parrot Trump’s baseless claims about voter fraud, even calling on Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State to resign because of supposed “failures in Georgia elections this year” – without providing any evidence of what those failures were.

Georgians deserve better. They deserve senators who will fight for them in Washington – they deserve the leadership of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Warnock’s platform is all about serving the people of Georgia – unlike his opponent Loeffler, who only serves herself and her rich friends. Warnock serves as Senior Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the former pulpit of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He supports Medicaid expansion, instituting a living wage, restoring the Voting Rights Act, and overhauling our cruel system of mass incarceration.

Jon Ossoff has dedicated his career to taking on corruption – a fitting replacement for David Perdue. Ossoff supports campaign finance reform; making massive investments in environmental protection to save our climate; protecting Roe v. Wade; and common sense gun reform.

Here’s what you can do to make the biggest impact in this make-or-break fight, which will determine whether we take back the Senate from Mitch McConnell:

— Georgians have until December 7th to register to vote in the runoffs. You can make calls to Georgia voters to help them get registered before the deadline. 17-year-old Georgians who turn 18 by January 5, 2021 are eligible to vote in the run-off election that will be held on that date. Please spread the word.

— Let locals lead. Donate directly to the candidates’ campaigns and to grassroots organizations led by communities of color, who worked tirelessly to register new voters and mobilize the state for Joe Biden. FairFight Action, New Georgia Project, and Black Voters Matter Fund are a few of the organizations to support in this moment and beyond. You can split a donation between FairFight and the two campaigns by going to GASenate.com, and donate to New Georgia Project (newgeorgiaproject.org) and Black Voters Matter Fund (blackvotersmatterfund.org) at their websites.

— Volunteer with the Warnock and Ossoff campaigns. You can find all the information you need by heading to mobilize.us/fairfightactionmobilize.us/electjon, or mobilize.us/warnockforgeorgia.

Georgia, home to John Lewis, is now the ultimate battlefield, thanks to years of grassroots organizing by Black leaders like Lewis, Stacey Abrams, Nse Ufot, Helen Butler, Deborah Scott, Tamieka Atkins, and countless others. Their hard work has gotten Georgia to this crucial junction, and now it’s up to the rest of us to support them in every way possible.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Let’s bring this home, flip the Senate, and usher in the transformative change this nation requires.

Vaccination

This week on CounterSpin: It isn't only the death toll—more than a million people around the world, a quarter of a million in the US alone—but the emerging list of other harms from the coronavirus, to the lungs, heart and brain, that make a vaccine seem like the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Whether our need would be so desperate had we taken strong, early societal measures is a different question; whether we should imagine vaccines as coming like cavalry to save us from human-impact-driven illness going forward, still another. There's enough to consider just looking at the infrastructure around vaccines—their efficient production and equitable distribution—as it is. Ravi Gupta is a physician and clinician scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. He wrote recently for Boston Review about the urgent need to "reimagine" our vaccine infrastructure; we talk to him about why.

Also on the show: "Yemenis are not 'going hungry.' They are being starved," a UN official tweeted recently, calling on all involved to "do everything" to avert further catastrophe in the country, where 80% of people rely on humanitarian aid. It piqued little media interest, though the New York Times quoted the same official recently talking about the effect of coronavirus in worsening Yemen's crisis. You know what worsened the crisis before coronavirus? Donald Trump, whose bombs and raids—and support for the bombs and raids of others—have been killing Yemeni civilians, including children, since the month he took office, as a new report from the group Airwars details. Yet somehow, in some corners he is still portrayed as an anti-interventionist president.  We talk about Trump's war on Yemen with the Intercept's Murtaza Hussain.

Karl Rove went down to Georgia, he was looking for a race to steal

 




 
 

 
POLITICO: “Senate Republicans have tapped Karl Rove to oversee their fundraising program for the Georgia runoff elections.”
 
There’s not a single dirty trick Rove won’t pull in order to steal these crucial races for the GOP. After all, this is the same man who once suggested Hillary Clinton had brain damage, spread a rumor that John McCain had an illegitimate Black child in order to win the nomination for George W. Bush, and refused to accept the results of Obama’s re-election on November 6, 2012 (laying the groundwork for Republicans to contest Biden’s victory in 2020). He’ll do everything he can to take down the two Democrats we need to flip the Senate, and he could very well succeed.
 
But there’s a silver lining. The fact that the GOP has deployed Karl Rove shows just how scared they are. As the Washington Post reports, “Republican leaders are increasingly alarmed about the party’s ability to stave off Democratic challengers in Georgia’s two Senate runoff elections.”
 
We’re glad our grassroots activism is starting to make the GOP sweat. But they’re responding to small-dollar donations with massive dark money deluges and right-wing VIP surrogates. As POLITICO reports, “Outside groups have begun to spend heavily and potential future presidential hopefuls, such as Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, are hitting the trail for the Republican candidates. Vice President Mike Pence is slated to travel to Georgia later this week.”
 
Us against Rove is one thing. But us against Rove and Rubio and Scott and Pence AND all their dark money friends is another battle entirely. The GOP wants so badly to avenge their loss at the top of the ticket that they’re putting together an A-team to guard these southern seats -- and if we don’t respond accordingly, our shot at Congress is lost.
 
If you want Karl Rove and his gang of merry tricksters to lose so badly that none of them are ever invited on Fox News ever again, please give now. If you want the Senate, the eternal source of Republican gridlock, to finally flip blue -- please give now. If you want to help us expand on the work Stacey Abrams has done in Georgia and further cement a new blue state on the electoral map for years to come, then please, give what you can now.
 

 
We could not be more grateful for your support. The fate of the next administration is on the line -- and your commitment to seeing Democrats succeed is exactly why we will.
 
Thank You.

NHTSA: TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME RECALL

 

U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Your vehicle MAY be involved in a safety recall and MAY create a safety risk for you or your passengers. If left unrepaired, a potential safety defect could lead to injury or even death. Safety defects must be repaired by a dealer at no cost to you.

The following may apply to one or more of your vehicles if your vehicle is listed below. Click on the NHTSA Recall ID Number below to read more about the safety issue and the reason for the recall.

To find out if your specific passenger vehicle is included in the recall, use our VIN Look-up Tool.

NHTSA Recall ID Number :20V698

Subject :Headlights Can Be Misadjusted/FMVSS 108
MakeModelModel Years
TOYOTARAV4 PRIME2021

What is a recall?
When a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a vehicle creates an unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the manufacturer is required to fix that vehicle at no cost to the owner. That can be done by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund (for equipment) or, in rare cases, repurchasing the car.

What should I do if my vehicle is included in this recall?
If your vehicle is included in this recall, it is very important that you get it fixed as soon as possible given the potential danger to you and your passengers if it is not addressed. You should receive a separate letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, notifying you of the recall and explaining when the remedy will be available, whom to contact to repair your vehicle, and to remind you that the repair will be done at no charge to you. If you believe your vehicle is included in the recall, but you do not receive a letter in the mail from the vehicle manufacturer, please call NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealership.
