we are joined by -- the manager for gavin newsom. what are you doing now projected winner gavin newsom? >> i feel spectacular. this is a long time coming. not just for me but for gavin who has been in the race for 3.5 years but we know the hard work is still to come starting tomorrow. >> reporter: to talk about hard work and that's the case. i thought with numerous voters over the past couple of days and months, homelessness comes up. is there a plan in place. i know he talked about 3.5 million housing units, is that really going to happen? >> if gavin had anything to say about it it was why he ran for mayor of san francisco in 2003 to address the homelessness issue. he feels in a core, one of the reasons why he is in politics. having affordable housing is a strategy to get people off the streets. making the california dream real for people that means increasing wages and lowering the -- >> reporter: gavin made headlines when he came to san francisco with same-sex marriage echo will he make national headlines will be the housing cris

he said he should have done more to attack newsom. what you didn't hear in the speech was a quote from him. john cox said personal attacks. we're going to bring honor back into politics. i think that shows that he remain add gentleman throughout the campaign and he really did not attack gavin newsom at all even though they did differ on many issue, they do agree that something needs to be done to address the homelessness and housing affordability. >> turning now to the race for california lt. governor. it is between two democrat, education hernandez and lenny [ inaudible ]. >> let's get more analysis now with brian and david. professor, let me start with you. we watched gavin newsom with his acceptance speech. your thoughts on the victory. he has to put together a budget, release the budget in early january. he has to decide if he wants it to be about the forward looking things that he promised in the campaign or the reality check. that is much more like jerry brown. he's going to have to build a lot of allegiances and alliances. can

he does know gavin newsom is in the lead and of course gavin newsom as well hoping to pull off the win tonight. for more on that we go to heather holmes in los angeles. heather? >> reporter: look, they are indeed preparing for a big party here at exchange l.a., a club here in downtown los angeles. now, i'm told that actor and rapper common is going to be reporting. in fact, they were testing some of the images on the screen there earlier. as you mentioned, newsom comes into today with a comfortable double-digit lead. still, the current lieutenant governor and former mayor of san francisco is not taking anything for granted. earlier today, he was in marin county back in the bay area. he and his wife cast their ballots at a masonic loft in larkspur, bringing along their four children with them. now, throughout this campaign, newsom has largely ignored his rival john cox, focusing his attacks instead on president trump. saying quote, a bully calls you out, you've got to push back. we don't have to be navelgazing, we are not a small, isolated state. this is california. indeed, this is cali

>> even though poll numbers are on gavin newsome's side, history may not be. a democrat will democrat for the first time since 1886 if newsome wins. >> what makes california great is at our best we don't tolerate that diversity, we celebrate that diversity. >> in his run for governor newsome's final stop was ought the chapel, the city where newsome was born and spent six years. he spent much of his time discussing immigration and the caravan of central americans which has become a divisive campaign issue across the country. >> just consider what this state has done in the last 15 years. this is state that's brought in 112,000 refugees. >> reporter: newsom's opponent john cox was in berkeley in sacramento monday encouraging supporters to go to the polls. he also spoke about immigration and said that he agrees with president trump, that the border needs to be protected. >> i won't hesitate to say something if the president does something i don't think is right. i happen to agree that we've got to make sure that we know who's coming into the country. >> reporter:

gavin newsom tonight saying the best is yet to come. reporting live from downtown los angeles, dion him, abc7 news. >> thank you. >>> republican businessman john cox ran on a plan to fix the state's high home prices and rent and called out special interests in sacramento and had a message for his opponent gavin newsom. >> i hope the lieutenant governor has a success but you know what? he's not going to have that much success unless he deals with the influence peddlers and the people that would bend policy for their own profit. >> john koch tonight. senator dianne feinstein has won her race against kevin deleon. the numbers coming in tonight, 57% for her. she is the projected winner. abc news projected that. 43% for deleon. >> let's go to abc7 news reporter kate larsson live at p feinstein tonight. kate in. >> dan, am marks apologies for my voice. we are at the fers club in the presidio. senator feinstein was here tonight, extremely humbled saying she was surprised after so many elections how many people showed up to her event. the crowd

sam, how are things left between newsom and cox? >> laura, that was one of the nice parts, really nice parts about the first section of gavin newsom's speech last night, when he came out and said i just spoke with john cox. he was gracious. he called my situation within our relationship a very generous one and said this is a hard-fought battle, so that was nice. however, in john cox's concession speech, he still blamed gavin newsom and blamed the democrats for the high cost of living in the states, something that newsom is now going to have to try and address. >> it is politics. you were up late last night, up early this morning, sam brock, thanks so much for joining us. >>> only 90 minutes or so after the polls closed republican contender john cox, we just mentioned, actually gave that concession speech that sam brought up in san diego. here say little bis a little bi said. >> we gave it a run. we got the message out. we got the issues out. thank you all. >> he told the crowd he wanted to see a return of honor and civility in polit

this was newsom's race to lose. he was the favorite and consistent frontrunner throughout the campaign. many see him as the democratic rock star so it was fitting that his victory speech came right here in los angeles. she introdaused her husband and gavin newsom came out strong pushing back against the president trump trags not only calling out that president trump and his administration's policies but also his rhetoric. >> we're saying unmistakably and in unison it's time to roll the credits on the politics of chaos and the politics of cruelty. now it's time to go together. to those agents of anger determined to divide us instead of unite us, it's time to pack it up and for you to pack it in. in many ways and many places we are simultaneously the richest and the poorest state. but after traveling california from region to region and a bus fuelled by perpetual optimism, i'm more convinced than ever there's no problem in california that isn't somehow somewhere being solved by a californiaen. the first family of cali

i believe this is newsom's wife at this point. i'm going to let her take it away. >> immeasurable honor to stand here before the voters of california and all of you. i know that you're anxiously waiting to hear from the next governor of the great state of california. but i couldn't let him get up here without first telling him and telling all of you how proud i am of him and how proud i am of the leader that he has become. proud of the life that we have built together and the children that we brought into this world and proud of the campaign that he has run and all of the incredible tngs that i know he will do for this state. [ cheers and applause ] >> gavin's courage has been on display from the minute he stepped out on the political stage. we saw this when gavin first became mayor. and he became the first mayor in america to allow same sex couples to marry. more than a decade before the supreme court finally spoke on the issue. and we saw this again when in the wake of mere daily mass shootings gavin took on the nra and he won.

gavin newsom has been elected the next governor of california. and voters have decided ánot to repeal the state's gas tax. the state's gas tax.( darya ) we will have much more on those stories and more coming up in just a minute. but first we want to get a check of weather and traffic. . much like yesterday temperatures will continue just above average with most highs now well into the 70's with the exception of a few spots on the coast in the 60's and a couple of inland areas

just talk with gavin newsom's campaign manager and he told me gavin newsom will likely talk and address this crowd no later than 10:00 tonight. this has been a very busy day for him, a very busy week for him, months for him, your for him and all comes down to tonight. the campaign manager said he had so many plans to address different things like homelessness, universal healthcare and universal preschool for all different kids go but as i speak you can see this is an all-out party. i want to go into the distance to show you what it looks like. you can see the performers out here. many people came to this party tonight with the idea that they would be celebrating and it appears they are doing just that. we have heard some loud cheers but when he is officially named and when he does come to the stage in a little while, this place will likely get that much louder. i can barely hear myself so i'm going to get back to you in the studio. >>> we will checking back and hopefully we will get better sound. there is a lot going up up here at the moment. >>> dan kerman has -- is life for us. folks

here is newsom. <"it's been a tough two years, but tonight america's biggest state is making the biggest statement in america. we are saying unmistakably and in unison that it's time to roll the credits on the politics of chaos and the politics of cruelty. now it's time for going far and going together."> (j.r.)during newsom's campaign he made it known that he was the resistance to.....

back to you. >> jr, apparently we do have some sound from newsom during his speech. so let's go to that right now. >> that's what this campaign is all about. it's about advancing all californians on their journey by making this a place of equality, making california a place of opportunity, safety, and affordability for everyone. we can make their dream real. but only if we have the courage of our convictions, the courage to dream bigger and demand more. the courage to be a state of results and a state of refuge. i've listened and i've learned from californians of every walk of life. because i know that starting tomorrow the hard work truly begins. but tonight i'm just overwhelmed with gratitude. and i'm humble, i'm humble to accept this awesome responsibility. because i know what we can accomplish working together, transforming the politically impossible into the practically inevitable. >> there you have it. that was governor elect now we can call him gavin newsom former san francisco supervisor, former san francisco mayor, current lieutenant governor until he's swor

democrat gavin newsom and republican john cox. newsom has the lead going into the election today. that lead has been shrinking over the last several months. we have more on both candidates who spent time in the bay area on the eve of the midterm election. >> reporter: lieutenant governor gavin newsom taking the stage alongside his wife, senator camilla harris and governor jerry brown. >> what makes california great is at our best, we don't tolerate that diversity. we celebrate that diversity. >> reporter: in his run for governor, newsom's final election stop was at the chapel in san francisco's mission district. the city where newsom was born and served as mayor for six years. he spent much of the evening talking about immigration and discussing the caravan of central americans which has become a divisive campaign issue across the country. >> to absorb a few thousand refugees in a nation of hundreds of millions of people, just consider what this state has done in the last 15 years. this is a state that's brought in 112,000 refugees. >> reporter: newsom's opponent, republican guber

newsom is going to come in and the first thing he's going to find to do is propose abudget. he doesn't want to blow up that $9 billion rainy day fund jerry brown built. we've seen the speaker of the assembly make overtures. they disagreed publicly in the past. i think they're going to tryo work toge a grooufrl preschool is a huge issue flash flood rendon in the state senate. tony atkins has been very active on affordable housing. i doo't think he's going tome in day one just like pelosi and try to much al these liberal agendas. >> how can we expect newsom to be different? his campaign slogan was courage fora change what will he do that's different from brown? b gun control. i think jerrywn was known for panel once on thtright, wasnn the left. i think you'll see certainly childhood poverty issues and preschool, education, housing. i thi you' going to see him step back from high speed rail in some way. maybe less of the cap w trade monel go to high speed rail. and then there's the tunnels question that jerry bron -- the delta.unnels and the i think he wants to create his own l

gavin newsom supports wicks. this has been a very interesting matchup in this district. >> and there's a deep, rich history or organizing the bay area and california, and leading the resistance movement. and that is exactly what we're going to do, and we're going to do it with a good, sound progressive policy here in california. that is how we take on donald trump. is this is is a coalition that can build and fight and win in years to come. and guess what? we are going to continue to fight. are you with me? >> reporter: you saw the numbers, but make no mistake about it, beckels still has hope tonight. she is supported by a number of unions. wicks is backed by well-known democrats, who are here tonight in oakland. both candidates are hoping for the final results tomorrow. reporting live, i'm cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, cheryl. let's show you another race we've been following, district number 16 in the east bay. right now, you see it as a close race between catherine baker, who is a republican, a

newsom took the stage in los angeles saying the hard work begins today. as of last night he was celebrating, calling his wife jennifer a wonder woman, thanked his campaign. he did not use president trump's name but spoke directly to him, touting the california dream and the importance of inclusiveness. >> we don't demean and we don't lock kids in cages. >>> meanwhile, his opponent wished newsom success but said that would not come unless he deals with special interests in sacramento. >>> prop 6, majority of voters said no to prop 6. that means the 12 cents per gallon gas tax increase will remain in place. the money will fund road, highway, bridge, and transit improvement projects across the state. >> rent control laws will remain the same with more voters saying no to proposition 10. >> in san francisco, prop is seugz c passed. that means a tax for big businesses to fund homeless projects. >> prop c puts billionaires against each other. >> that's right. with salesforce ceo mark he is results though he will shell out a lot of money. >>> tprop c will charge

newsom's victory was no big surprise. he was a consistent front runner and he continues the blue wave here in california astate that's been veried by a democrat-- governed by a democrat. >> newsom's challenger, businessman john cox, conceded the race. >> i consider myself very proud that we highlighted the incredible struggle that the people of this state have had for years under the people that are running this state. we identified the needs of these people, the fact that they can't afford housing, they can't afford gasoline, they can't afford the base six of life. let me tell you, this republican party will be back in this state. >> appealing the gas tax and affordable housing were two of the issues john cox ran on. taking a look at the race for lt. governor, eleni kounalakis has the lead over ed hernandez. kounalakis with 57% and hernandez with 43%. >> the big story is the shift of pow never the congress. the house is in the hands of democrats and republicans have regained control of the senate. >> reporter: while a lo

governor newsom. earlier today he cast his ballot in larkspur, took his family to the polls with him. in the last few weeks he's actually campaigned less for himself and more for those critical house and legislative seats to the democratic party in california, also passing along some of his funds. those races he says are as important as his race. >> winning the governor's race, which i hope we're successful tonight, wouldn't mean as much if we don't take back the house. i don't think it's a gross exaggeration to say trump's declared war on california. we're going to need all the seat holders we can get. >> reporter: there are several big issues for the governor's race, homelessness, the high poverty rate, but especially homelessness. this video i shot this morning in an alley right behind gavin newsom's watch party location right in between the live trucks. you can see a man who is shooting up in the back alley. this is something that the future governor whomever that may be will have to tackle. cox a

porter: and our amazing lieutenant governor gavin newsom. [cheering] let me tell you why today is so special. for me, it is personal. in 2012, i got a life changing phone call from our then attorney general kamala harris. she had just secured a settlement from the nation's five largest banks and the banks had promised to pay billions to homeowners who were wronged during the foreclosure crisis. when i say our hard-fought, i mean it. kamala didn't blink. she walked away from the negotiations when the banks try shehortchange us and fearlessly fought for a better deal. when the negotiating was over, she didn't even pause. she knew what matters are promises on paper, but what happens to real people. she asked me to be your watchdog, california's top what -- watchdog against the banks and to hold the banks' feet to the fire. i remember it clearly, she said to me, "you and i, we know these banks. they're going to try to get out of their responsibility to homeowners." she was right. when we caught a bank lying to a homeowner, we forced the bank to

gavin newsom is going to dip into the well of some of his biggest-named backers. as for john cox, he was in berkley, then he went to sacramento, now he's on his way back to san diego. so a whirl wind tour for him. as we talk about the record-breaking early voter numbers, the tidal wave is still tomorrow. they have received 113,000 votes, 24% of the voter turnout. but they are expecting turnout in the 60s. there could be a couple hundred thousand ballots still up for grabs. john cox talked about fiscal responsibility. newsom had a message of the american dream which runs counter to what we've seen from washington recently. these stumps still carry weight. >> i think the way the numbers are tracking, if we were to get 100,000 people who voted at the polls tomorrow, this will be the highest midterm turnout since 1974. our records don't go any further back in time. >> people in california have a very good way of, first of all, rejecting the conventional wisdom and deciding for themselves that they want change. >> reporter: so that was john cox answering a question fro

where newsome will soon be arriving. sam. >> reporter: janelle, behind me you see the stage is prepped on these risers. there are california reporters from all over the state covering this race. gavin newsom will tell you he is about big and bold action. this venue is kind of big and bold. this used to be the former los angeles stock exchange building, converted to a night club that is now four levels high and can accommodate 1500 people. so they are expecting a big crowd on hand for a race that has to start to feel pretty good for gavin newsom. if you look at the composite of the latest polls which is an average from real clear politics, you'll see right now newsome has an average spread of 16 1/2 points over john cox. the low in that range is 13 points, the high is 20. but that is a massive discrepancy. 16 1/2 points, that might explain why he has been campaigning for josh harder in the san joaquin county, a congressional race yesterday because he's feeling pretty confident. you might be wondering why is he not in san

. >> gavin newsom is elected as next governor. we'll tell you about the victory problem and the swipe he took at president trump. >> and the democrats have taken back the house and lets salute all of our candidates. >> nancy pelosi will most likely become the speaker of the house once again, the big wednesday and losses for both parties. parties. >>> good morning, thanks for waking up with us wednesday morning, november 7th. i'm pam cook. >> here are some of the headlines, democrats have a chance to win control, nancy pelosi is in line to become house speaker again after 8 years as minority leader. and they've elected gavin newsom to be the next governor of california and libby schaaf was re-elected to a second term. >>> and they rejected the prop 6 which would have an increase in the state gas tax. we'll go in-depth into all of the races and local and state, key races across the country. you can see the election result totals going across the screen and we have you covered. >>> there's a lot to talk about it and we'll have fun ta

newsom defeated republican businessman john cox 59-41%. >> and newsom addressed supporters at a post-election celebration in los angeles. >> you stood for courage, courage for a change. and now i can will g r next gov >> meanwhile, cox took the stage in san diego to concede and congratulate newsom. >> we gave it a run. we got the message out. we got the issues out. thank you all. >> the election of newsom is the first time since 1887 that a democratic governor has succeeded another democrat in california. >>> a look at some of the statewide ballot propositions. voters shot down the proposition 6 repeal of the gas tax. 55% voted no on the effort to pull back funding for bay area roads and transportation. another ballot measure that had big money behind it prop 8, seeking to regulate the profits of kidney dialysis centers. voters rejected that 62-38%. and voters passed prop 7. it would allow california to consider staying on daylight save time year round. >>> an extra $300 million a year will help a measure approved by voters in san francisco. prop c will tax big businesses with revenue over $5

that's a jab at newsom. as there has been talk of newsom one day running for president. newsom says if he is elected today, there will be no delay. he will start the transition process to the governor's office this week. reporting live in larkspur, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. >>> some extra eyes will be on the election in san mateo county. election observers from the department of justice's civil rights division will be supervising there. san mateo county is one of five counties in the state that has no polling places for today's election. instead, voters are required to mail ballots or drop them off at an election office. the monitors focus on making sure those ballots are handled properly and that election material is available in english, chinese and spanish. >>> the polls open at 7:00 this morning and close at 8:00 tonight. if you have a vote-by-mail ballot, you can drop it off at any polling place by the 8:00 p.m. deadline. you can also mail it. it has to be postmarked by today and received by friday. most mail-in ballots require extra postage. don't fo

democrat gavin newsom has not arrived yet . one of his campaign managers tells me that it was a busy day for him, as he traveled much of the state. he was in san francisco earlier today. now, he is with family members and making last-minute phone calls as we speak. this is a campaign where there has been a lot of talk about universal healthcare, preschool for kids, and at last check, some of the polls were showing democrat gavin newsom in the lead. i don't want to say that they expected, but many people here are expecting a large party tonight to celebrate. as we get closer and closer to apm, it will get livelier. -- 8 pm it will get livelier. >> where are you exactly? what venue are you at? why did they decide to do it there instead of in the bay area? >> this is a nightclub here, the thought was unity as there has been a lot of talk about that. many people would expect the rally to happen in san francisco, was so many ties to the bay area, but he wanted to unite the whole state as it was a campaign for the whole state. >> i'm

probably an issue that gavin newsom will pick up next year. and the president downplaying that at best. so it will be interesting to see their body language and everything else. they jointly issued a statement yesterday that now is the time for everyone to pull together, they're grateful for the president's visit, and the issue is dealing with the missing people, the recovery here, it is still a desperate situation. even as we talk about that, there's always this issue, when you president comes into a disaster zone, of disrupting those kinds of efforts. we talked to an evacuee who was hoping to get to fema to get a new trailer for her property or help to somehow begin to rebuild, and she couldn't get there, because the bus isn't running because the president is in town. geoff bennett, you mentioned that the president with the forestry and like, do we know who the advisers are and what they are telling him about forestry? >> reporter: on that specific issue, no. one has to wonder what he's been seeing on some of the cable news stations he prefe
