That picture right there is exactly why i always wanted a brother of any kind. I just think thats so sweet. I know, when your brother or sister is always there for you. And my son used to wrestle. When you watch them, you want to go do that. Of course that would have banished me from the family. You want to stop them from getting their face smashed in the mat. Im gayle king with Norah Odonnell and face the nation anchor john dickerson. There was a wrestling match of sorts in alabama. It was an earthquake, you could say. The traditionally republican state of alabama surprised the world by electing a democratic senator. Doug jones narrowly defeated roy moore in yesterdays special election. Now the republican candidate told his supporters its not over after he was accused of pursuing teenage girls while in his 30s. Jones won with 49. 9 of the vote, a lead of about 1. 5 Percentage Points or about 20,000 votes. In his victory speech, jones said his win sends a message to the world. Manuel bojorquez is in birmingham, alabama, where the democrats celebrated last night. Manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump tweeted last night congratulating Democrat Doug Jones on a, quote, hard fought victory. In this deeply red state. A win by jones seemed highly unlikely and the president would know. He won alabama last year by nearly 30 points. Ive got to tell you, i think that i have been waiting all my life, and now i just dont know what the hell to say. Reporter last night even doug jones seemed surprised by his unlikely win. We have shown not just around the state of alabama, but we have shown the country the way that we can be unified. Reporter jones opponent, republican roy moore, blamed his defeat on allegations of Sexual Misconduct that dogged his campaign for weeks. Part of the problem with this campaign is weve been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light. Reporter he declined to concede, believing an automatic recount was possible. And thats what weve got to do is wait on god and let this process play out. Reporter according to cbs exit polling, more than half of voters said the allegations against moore were true. And jones found strong support among africanamericans, women, and younger voters. The big story was turnout. In counties where doug jones did well, turnout was up over expectations, but republicans seemed to stay home. Turnout was down in reliably red republican counties. Reporter President Trump rallied support for moore in the final days of his campaign, along with former white house chief strategist, steve bannon. Judge moore is a righteous man. Reporter what championed moore as part of his fight against washington. Some voted Richard Shelby for moores defeat, including supporters we spoke with last night. These good people here supported shelby for 29 years and he turns on them in the last minute. Reporter the writein campaigns may be one of the factors that cost moore the election. Nearly 2 of votes were writeins which covers doug jones margin of victory. As for the recount moore is hoping for, Alabama State law calls for one, but only if the margin of victory is less than onehalf of 1 . Jones won by about three times that. Gaylou vy much, manuel bojorquez. Doug jones victory was a setback for President Trump, who supported moore after backing senator Luther Strange during the republican primary. The president tweeted this, this morning. I said roy moore will not be able to win the general election. I was right. A new razorthin gop majority in the senate, 5149 will make it even harder for congress to pass mr. Trumps agenda next year. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with reaction to this historic vote. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Most immediately, losing that seat is going to put more pressure on republicans to pass their tax cut plan in the next couple of weeks before their majority shrinks. The finger pointing has already begun. Listen to this. Senator leader Mitch Mcconnells super pac released a statement saying not only did steve bannon cost us a Critical Senate seat in one of the most republican states in the country, but he also dragged the president of the United States into his fiasco. Senate republicans will now have a tougher time passing gop priorities like cutting entitlements or building a border wall because now theyll now only be able to afford one gop defection on many votes. And that means that moderate republicans like bob corker and john mccain and Susan Collins are waking up this morning with even more clout. Now, despite all of this, there is some relief among republicans that they arent going to be getting saddled with moores baggage. Arizonas jeff flake put it short and sweet last night. Decency wins. But the bottom line here, gayle, is that republicans who were already frustrated that the senate cant seem to pass the president s priorities are about to get even more frustrated. That is the other part of this story. Thank you very much, nancy. Dan senor is a longtime republican analyst and former advisor to former House Speaker paul ryan. Hes been in touch with republican members of Congress Since last nights gop loss. Dan, good morning. Good morning, gayle. I could not go to bed. You and me both. So you were talking to gop members. What are they saying . Sort it out to us. How big is this . Well, most republican members, including the leadership, are relieved. Paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell . Im not going to quote people specifically, but generally they are relieved because they recognize that theyre heading into a tough year in 2018. The house in particular is really up for grabs. And the last thing thechy want to have the democrats tell every republican on every ballot you own roy moore. So in that sense roy moore not getting elected is a big win. That said, it is a wakeup call. Alabama, donald trump won by 62 of the vote. If you look at the exit polls, voters who turned out in yesterdays election, their view of trump is way down. Trumps Approval Rating among voters who turned out in alabama yesterday, 48 . This is one of the most republican states in the country. Democrats have outperformed this year so far in special elections in georgia and south carolina, in montana and virginia, conventional republican ed gillespie lost by nine points. Democrats are raising money and recruiting candidates for a lot of congressional offices. Yesterday is a reminder that republicans may have a rough road in 18. Ive never seen a democratic senator elected that so many republicans cheered for because of what happened. What does this mean for the future of steve bannon, the president s former top political director . I believe its a big setback for steve bannon and the president. The idea that bannon can kind of select a slate of candidates. They have the bannon backing, thats all its going to take, i think that myth has been punctured. For the president , i think its a reminder that he is this unique political animal. You know what i mean . The idea that people could become mini trumps. Theres an idea ill just run like trump ran and ill win, it doesnt work. Trump is this unique character in american politics and it doesnt necessarily transfer and he doesnt necessarily have coat tails. You said its a wakeup call but is it a wakeup call to President Trump that he needs to change his behavior because hes going to be on the ballot in 2018 in every one of these races or a wakeup to the republicans . I think its both. I think youll see more urgency to get this tax reform bill passed even though it would be a win for trump, they just need to show were getting stuff done and doing things. Republicans want people to say we are actually legislating, we are governing sort of with or without trumps craziness. I think it is a massive wakeup call for President Trump. Everyone is saying his Approval Ratings are low, his Approval Ratings are low, hes governing as though hes just governing the base of his party. Yesterday was sort of hes still tweeting this morning about i was right, i knew he couldnt win the general election. Its hard to say when you came out and started campaigning. One of the reasons that doug jones won was the womens vote. You see a Record Number of women running for congress and now you have a Record Number of senators, legislative women, calling for donald trump to resign based on this issue after he essentially in senator warrens words slutshamed senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Wheres the Republican Party on that . Look, i think the republicans have a lot of female candidates that they have recruited. Theres a lot of female members of congress. Everyone from the youngest congresswoman in the tennessee race, Marsha Blackburn is running for bob corkers seat. Im not worried about women candidates running. Republicans are worried about in 2016 when republicans thought that when democrats thought that trump would be such a drag on the ticket, they missed the moment and didnt recruit enough highquality tickets of either gender. So there wasnt an opportunity to really kind of put quality democrats on the ballot. They missed the filing deadline. That is not the case. At 538. Com reports democrats have recruited 249 candidates to run for congress. Those numbers are massive. Weve got to go. Well talk about those in the future, thanks, dan. It will be interesting to see what happens with roy moore who rode in on a horse and ended the night calling on god and jesus. Always good to be with you guys. Bringing in the horse image, thats good. It was an image. In our next hour well talk about former Vice President joe biden about the alabama race and how it affects democrats for the next year. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Cbs news has obtained politically charged Text Messages that got a veteran fbi agent thrown out of Robert Muellers russia probe. Peter strzok exchanged with lisa page. Their messages called the prospect of mr. Trump defeating Hillary Clinton terrifying and not good. Paula reid is at the Justice Department where the texts raise issues of political bias. Paula, good morning. Reporter good morning.

When strzok noted how then senator Jeff Sessions was considered for attorney general, page replied good god. Page left muellers team over the summer when her assignment ended. Strzok was removed after mueller found out about their politically charged texts. But before the special counsel, strzok led the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. Hillary clinton with emails. Reporter given strzoks criticism of President Trump, some on capitol hill are now questioning whether the investigation into clinton was impartial. It cant just be some text 34 messages. Reporter last week fbi director wray offered an explanation. The Inspector General is looking into the question of whether improper political decisions factored into the decisionmaking. Reporter Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein will testify before the House Judiciary Committee this morning. He is now the top man on both the russia investigation and the Hillary Clinton email probe, as attorney general Jeff Sessions has recused himself in both cases. The office of special counsel declined to comment on the texts. All right, paula, thank you so much. The white house is pushing back against claims that President Trumps tweet about a female senator is sexist. The president said yesterday that Kirsten Gillibrand of new york came to him in the past begging for Campaign Contributions and he tweeted she, quote, would do anything for them. Ji gillibrand, who has called for the president to resign in the face of sexual abuse allegations, says the tweet is a sexist smear. Its not going to silence me. Its intended to silence me. Its not going to silence the women who have stood up against him directly. The House OversightCommittee Denied a request yesterday from more than 100 House Democrats to investigate the Sexual Misconduct allegations against the president. The widow of a man killed by an Arizona Police officer is speaking out after the officer was found not guilty of murder charges. Body camera video was released after the verdict last week. We have to warn you here that this video is very disturbing. It shows Daniel Shaver pleading for his life just before he was shot back in 2016. Adriana diaz spoke with shavers widow in an interview you will see only on cbs news. He knew his life was about to end. He was scared. The only person in that hallway who was fearful for his life was Daniel Shaver. Please do not shoot me. Then listen to my instructions. Reporter nearly two years ago, Philip Brailsford found shaver intoxicated in a hotel room after a report of a man waving a rifle from the window. Your hands go back in the small of your back or down. We are going to shoot you, do you understand me . Yes, sir. Crawl towards me. Crawl towards me . Yes, sir. Dont. [ gunshots ] that was an execution. You had a man begging for his life and he was shot five times, for what . Brailsford, who was later fired, testified he believed shaver was reaching for a gun in his waistband. What do you make of him saying he had a split second to decide what to do when he thought your husband was pulling a gun . I understand that officers have hard jobs. I think that this goes back to the Mesa Police Departments training. Shaver
