we believe in burlington county. getting into south jersey, here we think there is a vote by mail here, likely that's going to help phil murphy, also maybe some same day vote election day votes. in burlington county, that's sending more republican friendly votes, also be simultaneously and opportunity for ciattarelli to get more in the scoreboard by himself, in burlington county, a question mark that we want to nail down, i will show you actually is right here in middlesex county. you see how it says 80% in middlesex county. you have murphy ahead by nine points. over, we need to go to. virginia >> let's go to virginia for second. we have a call to make for a second right now, while we have calls that glenn youngkin will be the governor, we now have a call for the lieutenant governor of virginia, the republican, sears will become the lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of virginia, just over that point for half a second. in virginia it's the same situation, we had very heavy day of voting, very heavy turnout acros

he may be able to get some same day votes and burlington county. there are also some other areas here where we believe he is likely outstanding vote by mail. that is what you hear vote by mail. it is a very democratic friendly ballot, and you have seen with the has done for murphy, it is likely we will see that in a few more places. so for the murphy campaign this has been, halloween was the other night, but this has been a terrifying night for the murphy campaign. what i don't know how to three in the morning whatever time it is right now, this is what you are looking at state ride. what is coming into focus here, and likely left here, as you can start to see a path here for murphy to overtake ciattarelli, and potentially win this race. it wouldn't be a would big win. he got elected in the state by 15 points. joe biden won it by 16 points last year. republicans don't nearly come as close as ciattarelli is here, in a state like new jersey. so if murphy gets out of this one or two points of two to relative heat can win by one or two points, he will

so we've got to see burlington, burlington, essex. let's see if we get some more vote in essex pretty soon here tonight. but that's what we're waiting on here in new jersey. this is unexpectedly turning into a suspenseful night here. donald trump, as we said, won this state by 16 points. this has not been a friendly place to republicans besides chris christie in a long time here. let's get a few more votes in and let's see. does ciattarelli have a real chance to pull this out? you can't say no right now. >> let's take a drive south to the commonwealth of virginia. let's see that map. >> so here we go. and you see 95% of the vote is in in virginia. what's been happening basically is glenn youngkin the republican put up a very big lead here in virginia by rolling up massive margins in republican-friendly areas of the state. and what's been happening over the last hour or so is absentee votes in more democratic-friendly bigger, more democratic-friendly counties have been adding in and chipping into that. the problem for mcauliffe is he's

the activity centered around the burlington coat factory store. what is the latest? >> reporter: i have spoken to a couple of people who just exited the mall. i spoke to one woman , she was a manager at another store. she witnessed a disturbance inside the mall, near entrance three and the food court. there was apparently a lot of shouting going on at that time. it may have been part of what we were reporting earlier, some sort of fighter disturbance between parties inside of the mall, which escalated. then, we don't know if they are founded or unfounded, that there were shots fired. i am here with a man named edward marsden. you got inside the mall at about the time this was all happening? tell us what you saw inside in terms of law enforcement? >> what i did, i snuck in through the side, and i entered in the side. i had my video camera on to get everything on video, and then i walked through the hallway, and once i got inside, i was greeted by probably 20 to 30 police officers with their rifles. they were yelling at me, and i mentioned to them, i go, i just had to

shortly after, a shooting was reported inside the burlington coat factory. milpitas police officers have checked the business, and there's no indication that there was a shooting inside the mall. we're still waiting to find out if there was a shooting outside. let's bring in nbc's ian cull. he is at the great mall right now with the very latest. tell us where you are, in front of what store and what's happening around you. >> reporter: yeah, raj, we're right outside the burlington coat factory as well as marshal's. this is the great mall entry number three. this seems to be where all the activity is really happening, and i talked with a couple of the cruz family, who just arrived today from amarillo to visit the bay area. they were walking in when that altercation occurred. you can still see there are sheriff's deputies along with milpitas police here. that couple says right when they walked inside the mall that they saw a group of men shouting at each other, pushing each other, one of them said let's take this outside. they're not sure what happened after t

i'm looking at burlington. i'm looking at a few other places like this on the map and i'm definitely seeing that possibility right now. >> we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, we are expecting remarks from glenn youngkin, the republican candidate for governor in virginia. we just had remarks from the democrat terry mcauliffe, who said there are more votes to count. this is a race that is characterized as too close to call with youngkin in the lead. we're expecting remarks from youngkin any moment. we'll take a quick break and come back with that right on the other side. stay with us. ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin? it's because they rub against you creating friction. and your clothes rub against you all day. for softer clothes that are gentle on your skin, try downy free & gentle. just pour into the rinse dispenser and downy will soften your clothes without dyes or perfumes. the towel washed with downy is softer, fluffier, and gentler on your skin. try downy free & ge

most of the police presence was over by where the burlington coat factory was. but it seems like that i did see i did get a chance to drive around the mall. and i did see people were being led out by each entrance. they were kind of going a counter-clockwise direction. that's the very latest from here live in ok to scale on kron 4 news. all right, gail, thank you for that. we're going to continue to follow this story all night long. but to get the latest updates sent straight to your phone. you can download our kron 4 app. >> just scan that qr code on your screen. we'll take you straight to the app page. >> well, we want to check on the 4 zone. weather forecast a live look outside right now at sfo with things look pretty clear. meteorologist mabrisa rodriguez joins us with a look ahead because we've got the weekend on our side here. yeah. it is friday night after all. so tgif bay area. let's take a look at what we can expect. not just this weekend but early this upcoming week tracking our second atmospheric river in less than a month. we are seeing some high clo

how did murphy do in burlington four years ago? here is the vote total for murphy and his victorious race for the state house four years ago per eight if you come back to 2020 when you see the state of play right now, this is what is confounding as about new jersey and maybe we make a call tonight and maybe we don't, maybe we go to the hours tomorrow wondering who won new jersey. you see right here, 68 percent, want with county, 61 percent. they're our precincts in essex county, that is specifically ne work that are still coming in, heavily democratic as we follow the numbers come up murphy with a handy lead right there in essex county. but you see what he did four years ago. he was up around 80 percent. and at the moment he's not quit at that number, but still prett respectable for the democrats seeking reelection in new jerse so that gives you an idea right here new jersey, it is a real race, and for a lot of people who discount that long before the race was held today. >> bill is going to work 24 hours. brett and martha, what no

that was university of vermont in burlington, vermont. >> she had a great love of animals. >> yes, she did. they had three dogs. they had many animals throughout the years. her most famed animal is probably rebecca the raccoon who she had. they had a variety of dogs and cats in the white house. >> your grandfather john had a brother who died in the white house. >> yes. >> let's close by telling that story. it was a real tragedy. it was -- i believe it was during the re-election campaign that he passed. >> yes, it was. the boys were -- the brothers were 19 months apart. they were playing tennis on the white house grounds. calvin junior developed a blister on his foot. that was treated but it became infected. the infection started to spread to his body. they had no antibiotics at the time to treat that. a week after getting that blister, he died at walter reed hospital of sepsis. >> he was 12? >> he was 16 years old. >> what do you know, the family lore about how that impacted the coolidges, the presidential family? >> i believe that it put a lot of pressure on john. he was then seen as

the off-price players, tjx, ross, burlington are taking advantage of the inventory dislocations from the last 18 months to buy up merchandise at attractive prices and offer it in store for the treasure hunters giving them something to salivate over. investors are taking notice of the opportunity that's happening in the discount space with a number of stocks well outperforming the s&p 500 over the last month shares of dollar tree up 15% since the september read of inflation came out in mid-october. five below up 16%. target shares by 5%. brian. >> wow kind of unbelievable here. five below, target, dollar tree. is there any sign when or if we start to see prices come down that these stocks will suffer as well are we going to five below and stock up on giant boxes of mike and ike forever, which i'm told are delicious. >> reporter: what's so funny, brian, in years past, before the great recession, when we saw consumers trade down to a discount retailer to try to save some money, try to stretch those paychecks, when times got better and finances got better, people went back to their old h

we're one of the largest landlords to tjx, burlington, kroger, bellwether retailers and about 60% of our spaceis devoted to anchors it's about 40% devoted to small shops. we really are focused on a value added approach to investing in the shopping centers capitalizing on a low rent basis to put capital work to bring in it better tenants at better rents to really drive out performance. >> i wish -- i need you to go into that more i no he that the near me had this happen. you basically have the leases. and then it looks like the plaus goes dark a little bit people have to recognize is not that brick & mortar is in trouble, it's the opposite can you get a better tenant in in and everybody benefits >> it's really great, jim. for example, near where you grew up at ivy ridge, we replace an old tired with a new urban target not only did we get a great return on the capital we unvest to bring target into that shopping center, but as you can imagine, we saw follow on ben fut in terms of lease up of the small shops as well as an appreciation in the average market rent for that shopping center

apologies to bernie sanders in burlington, who did fit that mold but apparently burlington not quite hitting that demographic threshold. >> mr. avlon, when you look at all these races, there's a lot that he with learn about where the country is tomorrow, right? do you think it's going to help the democratic party get on the same page in terms of their messaging? because you know i've been very critical, as a lot of people, about democrats and the messaging. and i think they've got the point now but i don't know if they can manage to pull it together. what do you think tomorrow will bring? >> the results will tell a lot. now, here's the deal. what i think people misunderstand about major american cities that are predominantly democrat, is they are not as stereotypically liberal as people who live outside those cities may think and there is a strong pragmatic streak. the democratic party is now evenly divided between self-identified liberals and moderates. republican party moderates are a vanishing breed. but these elections locally will test the notion that all politics is local. it w

you see down below, that's the burlington coat factory. several stores inside there, so we're trying to get some confirmation what's happening at the great mall in milpitas. >> it's also a dining hot spot. there's lots of restaurants in that area as well. usually this is kind of like a transition time right after work. you've got a couple of different outlets there. of course we're going to continue to monitor this. our coverage continues on our 7:00 p.m. newscast, and again, we're going to have it on all of our digital platforms, check it out at nbcbayarea.com. we'll continue to watch this carefully. >> right now we'll send it over to lester holt with "nightly news." > breaking news tonight. the potential breakthrough for president biden's agenda after months of negotiations, house democrats finally headed to a vote on the president's bipartisan's infrastructure bill. speaker pelosi gambling do they have the votes? and new roadblocks for the president's even larger plan to expand the social safety net. why the new delays. >>> also tonight

he joins us live from burlington in vermont osh . i'd good to have you with us. so look, as we were saying that the democratic perform poorly in this week's gubernatorial election, especially in virginia. how much do you think that's galvanized the party to come together on this vote? well, if you take a look at this historically 89 percent of the time the president's party loses mid term elections. trump did obama did. so this isn't so unusual. the election issues in virginia were mostly centered around education, whereas the infrastructure bill wasn't something on people's minds. and these 2 events did happen around the same time. and there are lessons to learn about it in terms of, in my opinion, and the need to be bold about her agenda. but these were different things if it's spurs, congress to take action and i think it's a good thing. but i want to be careful that we don't want to learn the wrong left. i said how it has been locked into play out for the progression wing of the party as they were. the ones who've been blocking the bill until they got various
