Yep. I hear somebody interrupting. Sorry, congresswoman. This is george stephanopoulos. We know the president will be in michigan tonight. You have pretty keen political the antenna. You were one of the few democrats warning the Hillary Clinton campaign back in 2016 that michigan could go to President Trump. Whats happening on the ground there right now in michigan with the president , and particularly on this issue of impeachment . Its very torn. I will tell you that first of all, people are more engaged than i have ever seen them. You know, just this weekend being home, i went to the doctor for an asthma checkup and 25 people stopped me while i was at the university of michigan on all sides. The last person i saw, said i shouldnt be bothering you. Youre at the doctor, but i have to tell you this. We shouldnt be impeaching. She was nice. I had people yell at me on one side. I had people yell at me, and i think the polling is accurate. I think michigan is a very divided state and there are people on both sides. Im going to tell you, i think donald trump could win again depending upon who the democratic candidate is. Right there from debbie dingell. You were right the last time, and well see this time. Time to go back. Close calendar number 63. How has resolution number 767, resolve. Without to mention any point of order, the house will proceed to the consideration in the house of the resolution House Resolution 755, impeaching donald john trump, the president of the United States, recommended by the committee on the judiciary now printed should be recommended as adopted. It should be represented as ordered, as amended to adoption without intervenining motion except asle tos. The resolution shall be debatable for six hours, divided equally. They are reading the rules to the resolution which will be debated on over the next hour. This is the debate that will take place over the next day. Cecilia vega, we have had such a clean preview of what this debate will look like in both the Intelligence Committee and the judiciary committee, and saw just how bitter it had become. It was a partisan free for all. It was frankly allout warfare on both sides, and both sides were fighting to the death, you know, the Iowa Caucuses are 40something days away. All of that the election, the 2020 election hanging over all of this. They are hanging on to win it and we hear members of congress saying this is not political and they are in this for the constitution. The reality is this is a political process, and it is political for the president , and its political for every single member, particularly those that you have been talking about all morning, those freshman democrats that of to go back and defend this decision in the districts that trump won. And terry moran, so different from the clinton impeachment back in 1998. Of course, Richard Nixon resigned. We have never seen a president get impeached by the house and run for reelection. Reporter it is going to be a major issue in the election, and it is remarkable. The president is essentially announcing in that tirade of a letter to the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, his twin pillars of his Reelection Campaign, one of good economy, low unemployment, and for the First Time Since the Clinton Administration really, raising incomes, rising faster at the bottom of the economic scale than the top of the economic scale, and second, hes going to go after what he calls the do nothing democrats. Hes going to ask voters whats the first thing that comes to you are yo mind when you think about what the democrats have been doing the past three years. A lot of them say, going after you and impeachment. Its clear that that is his hes not just defending himself. Hes advancing his Reelection Campaign by putting his accusers on trial in the senate and on the stump. And jon karl, one of the oh things we have seen is the president s focus on the states that he won by a hair back in 2016. Michigan tonight, wisconsin, pennsylvania. Reporter hes been focused like a laser on those states, focused on those voters that got him elected president. I would also add to that list florida as well, george, and tonight, i think that you will see classic trumpian drama. Hes going to his rally in michigan, battle creek, michigan, and it depending on how the timing goes of this house vote today, you may well see a situation where donald trump is taking the stage at another make America Great again rally at precisely the time that the house of representatives is voting to impeach him. And kate shaw, this is again, so different from anything we have seen before, and most president s in a situation like this, will say, as little as possible about the actual facts at issue. Right, and of course, this is not most president s and his strategy has not surprisingly been quite different. As a political matter, he relishes a fight, and he meets anned an adversary, and we see nancy pelosi, the committees, and Chuck Schumer as we shift trial as the focus of his ire. I think as a political matter, we dont know how impeachment is going to affect peoples ballot box decisions because we have never been in this decision. It may help the president with that being front of mind, but see a president who has been acquitted might not be helpful. We dont know how that could play out, and dan, this is picking up on what Heidi Heitkamp was saying, but executive privilege, and the witnesses will continue. The Southern District will continue. Not only do we not know how history will view this. We dont know what were going to learn in the next six to nine months. Right. Were seeing though not the key questions working their way through the courts. When i say the key questions, i say the witnesses like mulvaney and bolton. So far, the decision has been made and it appears thats a pretty definitive decision theyre not going to fight to force them to testify. Youre right there are other cases that are working their way through the courts that began earlier, that began before the ukraine, the process even began. I dont know if that will be a fundamental game changer. You heard though the democrats dropping the possibility in Legal Proceedings that there could be another impeachment proceeding down the road that who knows whats going to happen . We saw this in the 66page motion filed. We have never seen a president impeached and run for reelection, or a president impeached twice. We are going to take a break. The house will be debating for the next hour, this rule. We will come back later today when abuse of power, and obstruction of congress is debated. We continue now on abc. Announcer this has been a special report from abc abc new michael. Thank you, george. We move onto that deep freeze moving in on the heels of that deadly winter storm that brought tornadoes, snow and ice. Ginger has the very latest. Good morning to you, ginger. Good morning, michael. Many of us have been encased in ice from maryland to my backyard just north of new york city and this isnt going anywhere. The coldest air of the season is about to settle in. What the heck, people . Reporter thick ice taking down power lines in pittstown, new jersey, pileups and traffic halted from this highway in wellesley, massachusetts, to spinouts in fishkill, new york. That half inch or more of ice, accumulating and two teen brothers facing lifethreatening injuries after their truck slid off the road and wrapped around this tree. The same system producing 38 the same system producing 38 reported tornadoes from louisiana to georgia. This video capturing the damage in ocilla, georgia and in louisiana, a difficult scene just before the holidays, homes shredded. The saltwell community in alabama, also ravaged by an ef2 tornado. By tomorrow morning thats when it all settles in. We will feel the teens, actual temperatures will be in the teens, but will feel like 1 below in new york city. 7 for pittsburgh. Burlington 16 mroe. Even raleigh dropping into the teens. Atlanta, youre not out of the woods either. Lets head to the southeast where numbers will be tumbling. Already from yesterdays highs in the 60s and 70s, even the 80s in florida, florida not immune, watch as the blue and green take over the southeast. Were going to go ahead and click ahead and show you when that temperature drops. By tomorrow morning, youll feel like freezing in tallahassee. Theres a freeze watch along the florida Georgia State line. Montgomery, 25 and atlanta will feel like 23. Guys . Ginger, thanks. Were going to head to the investigation into the tragedy here in new york city. A prominent architect killed by falling debris while walking on a manhattan street. Eva pilgrim is there on the scene with the very latest oj this. Good morning, eva. Reporter cecilia, this scaffolding is new this morning. The city ordering it put on after witnesses say they saw debris fall from that building, killing a woman. The sidewalk remains closed. Overnight crews scrambling to install protective scaffolding after debris from a highrise under construction fell 17 stories to the ground killing a prominent new york architect, 60yearold erica tishman, who was walking in the heart of midtown manhattan when witnesses say pieces of the facade came crumbling off the building. Now, new questions over safety as thousands of pedestrians pass by buildings under renovation every day. I am, like, without words. I really dont know how Something Like that can happen in the city where so many tourists are. Reporter city records show the Building Owners were cited in april for damaged terra cotta at areas above 15th floor in several locations which poses a falling hazard for pedestrians. In july 2019, the building was permitted to begin masonry repair on its facade on its penthouse and roof. The Building Owner releasing a statement saying, we are saddened by this tragedy and our hearts go out to the family. The company will fully cooperate with the city in the ongoing matter. Now, the city is investigating exactly what happened here, and that includes whether or not this scaffolding should have already been put up, michael. All right, horrible accident there. Eva, thank you so much. Were switching gears now to that Holiday Shipping rush where we are officially just a week away from christmas and the race is on to deliver gifts in time and Rebecca Jarvis is outside macys just down the street from us here in times square. Good morning, rebecca. And rebecca, there are some new challenges putting those deliveries at risk. Reporter oh, there are, michael. Good morning to you. Thats right, and believe it or not, we are part of the problem. 61 of americans, myself included, have yet to finish their Holiday Shopping. Combine that with the wild Winter Weather, and its a mad dash to christmas. This morning, a double whammy in the race to get those goodies under the tree christmas morning. Wild Winter Weather and a Record Number of packages. The weather is a great challenge and on these lastminute deliveries and on the delivery side, just the sheer amount of volume and the amount of time that we have left. Reporter the u. S. Postal service expecting to process and deliver nearly 2. 5 billion pieces of mail including packages this week alone. Usps now offering sunday delivery in many locations with high volume and most major cities. Amazon this week temporarily blocking thirdparty sellers from using fedex ground shipping for prime customers citing a drop in the delivery performance. Fedex says its faced bad weather and the highest volume of holiday packages ever but says theyre still able to accommodate the surge. Amazon is offering amazon lockers at various convenience stores, malls and whole foods locations around the country. U. P. S. My choice gives you the option to redirect your packages to a u. P. S. Access point location where itll be held for pickup and what some experts are calling your best delivery bet, no delivery at all. Buy online, pick up in store offered by numerous retailers including nordstrom, macys, gap, target, walmart and best buy. I think the buy online and pick up in store, its gone up a lot. Very convenient. You can knock out some shopping. When its delivered to a commercial location, you get away from some of the problems that you have on residential delivery. Residential deliveries seem to disappear more often than commercial deliveries. Reporter the bottom line here is procrastinators, time for some action. Get on it. Get shopping and know that stores like macys, gap, walmart, target, best buy, they will all have extended Holiday Hours leading right up until christmas, michael, so if you really need that lastminute rush and you want to be a part of it, you can, michael. Well, im the procrastinator youre talking about so i better get to work. Thank you so much, rebecca. George. Okay, michael. Thanks. To florida now where a family is celebrating their christmas miracle after two siblings missing for more than 48 hours were found safe in the woods near their home, and Victor Oquendo is in jacksonville with the story. Good morning, victor. Reporter good morning. A huge sigh of relief for the family and of this community. As of right now they believe no sign of foul play. Police believe those kids just wandered off. We have both kids. Were heading out of the woods. Reporter it was the best possible outcome. 6yearold braxton and his 5yearold sister Briya Williams found alive nearly three days after vanishing in their yard. Its a miracle, christmas miracle and its a blessing. A lot of hard work and thank god for it. Reporter they were last seen playing in their front yard. Rescue teams out in full force. In the air and on the ground canvassing more than 400 homes and 100 acres, with help from the community. Tuesday afternoon finally the break they had been waiting for. One of the rescue team members heard a voice, thought it was a childs voice and so they fanned out, started looking and found them and heard them talking. Search team one from command, give me a location. Were deep in the wood. Ill give you one as soon as we get out. Reporter the children found in a pump house in thick swampy woods a quarter mile from home. Both are in very good condition. Reporter the familys agonizing wait was over. The childrens father telling our jacksonville station god is good. I feel like i got the life put back into me. This gives me a reason to keep on going. Like a a big sigh of relief. Yes, so it was so exciting and im just ready to see them. Reporter they were taken to the hospital for observation. Thankfully just a little dehydrated with some bumps and bruises. Theyre alive and theyre well and right before christmas. Right before christmas. Right before. So this is an awesome Christmas Gift for everybody. Reporter temperatures did dip here overnight. Its a good thing they found them when they did. The first thing braxton and briya asked for when they were rescued, candy and a cheese pizza, guys. Good request. Awesome Christmas Gift. Thank you, victor. We are going to turn to another great story, that jingle bell jackpot. There is a very lucky winner in ohio this morning. A single Winning Ticket sold for the Mega Millions jackpot worth 372 million bucks. Jessi schultz from our affiliate wews is at the store where that ticket was sold. Good morning, jessi. Reporter cecilia, some lucky person walked right into this giant eagle here in mentor, ohio, and used the quick pick feature and then walked out a whole lot richer. This morning, we dont know who that winner is, but they have 180 days to claim their jackpot, and from now until then, theyll most likely experience their last moments of normalcy. This jackpot of 372 million with a cash payout of 251 million is the 14th largest prize in the history of the game. And get this, the odds of winning that jackpot were 1 in 302 so, i would bet that someone here in northeastern ohio is going to have their best holiday yet. Back to you guys. What a great story. Thank you. Great holiday for them. Following a lot of other stories including the family of a missing mother and her infant, theyre speaking out now and they say theres no way that that mother left on her own.
