saturday morning. it's taylor swift's world, you know it and we're living in it. she's already owning the grammy with "anti-hero." swift became the first song writer to score seven grammy nominations, passing paul mccartney and lionel richie. album of the year, she's tied with barbra streisand for the most nominations by a female artist in that category and she's up for four more. much more on that all ahead here as we talk about the grammy nominations. just incredible. >> stephanie: she's nonstop. >> whit: it's taylor's world we're just living in it. let get to some of the other big stories we're following this saturday morning. hospitals in gaza have been under heavy bombardment, severely damaging a health system that the w.h.o. says is on its knees. a military spokesman for israel telling abc news hamas has positioned its capabilities in and around hospitals. pro-palestinian protesters meantime took to the streets in manhattan on friday, overwhelming grand central station, which was briefly shut down. >> gio: the air force's new b-21

stealth bomber had its first test flight in palmdale, california on friday. an air force spokesperson telling abc news the bomber can carry conventional and nuclear munitions and will provide survivable, long range penetrating strike capabilities to deter aggression against the united states, allies and partners. >> stephanie: three tiger cubs born at the jacksonville zoo. you can see their mother caring for her little ones. i know, isn't that sweet? these tigers are critically endangered according to the zoo, an estimated 150 melaen tigers remain in the wild. >> whit: cutest, love that. we start this half hour with a look at this week's top political headlines and white house correspondent maryalice parks is back with abc, deputy political director averi harper. good morning to both of you. got you the coffee mugs in the mix. get you going on a saturday.

maryalice, let's start with you because we've now talked about this a couple times, the looming government shutdown, apparently it's back again. the new house speaker, this will be a big test for him. is there any indication that they're going to be able to avoid this? >> well, first, government shutdowns are costly. >> whit: right. >> it is expensive for these agencies to have to shut down programs, start them again. they can't plan. they tell us they just can't do their work. and we know that some essential programs like relief for an aid, for baby formula, food for some of the poorest kids and moms in the country, all of that is at risk. air traffic controllers would be asked to work without pay. this time, even members of the military would be asked to work without pay. now, we know that speaker -- the new speaker, mike johnson, is planning to introduce a bill later today. the big question is, what exactly will be in it? democrats are worried it could include republican proposals on abortion or the border, and that would make it almost completely a non-starter.

that's what he did with israel funding, he tacked on cuts to the irs even though he knew that democrats were just not going to take that up. >> stephanie: we'll keep an eye on that. we're also just a few days away from a big election, averi, and we know that, we saw again, this week, that when abortion is on the ballot, voters are coming out and demanding abortion access even in red states like ohio. are parties changing their strategies after these results? >> abortion is really a losing issue for republicans, especially when it's explicitly on the ballot like we saw in ohio earlier this weekend. with the possibility of it being on the ballot in big battleground states next year, like florida and arizona, we're already starting to see some shifts in the messaging around this. within the anti-abortion movement there's a real push to use the word limit to describe restrictive abortion legislation rather than the word ban. and we can even look to some of what the candidates said on the debate stage earlier this week too. nikki haley calling for consensus saying those who are

pro-abortion should not be demonized. tim scott calling for addressing the needs to help women and children after the babies are born. we'll see whether it works. >> gio: the economy is really driving this election according to polls. what are voters saying? how are they feeling? >> when you look at the latest abc news/ipsos poll, the economy and inflation are top concerns ahead to have the 2024 election and there are more americans that trust republicans to tackle those issues over democrats. so when we talk to the biden administration they point to factors like job growth or the unemployment rate and say, well the economy's doing fine. i'll tell you, our reporters are fanned out across the country. they're talking to voters all over the place, and there's a real negative perception about the state of the economy. there's this feeling that costs have gone up for food, gas and housing, and wages haven't kept up.

that's something the biden campaign should be worried about entering the election year. >> whit: speaking of 2024, let's go back to maryalice parks on this. joe manchin might be causing a domino effect, saying he's not going to run in the senate. now that will hurt democrats. but also, could he run on some kind of unity ticket? what would that mean? >> first in the senate -- >> whit: for president, that is. >> let's talk about the senate first. put aside west virginia, democrats also have to defend senate seats in ohio, michigan, montana, arizona, nevada. i mean, we are looking at a really tough map for democrats next year. so this definitely makes it harder for them to hold the senate. not impossible, but tough. and then, of course, the big question about whether or not he's considering a run for president as an independent.

his team is not ruling that out. the white house has to be worried. they put out a statement thanking joe manchin for his service, for their work together. but the irony is here that while he might not pull democratic base voters he could run potentially pitching himself as this alternative for never-trump republicans. but in doing so, could he end up actually being the reason trump wins if trump's the nominee and he runs as independent, and siphons votes away from biden? that's what people in washington are worried about, democrats in washington are worried about. >> whit: already some independents running, rfk jr., jill stein. this would be an interesting race in so many ways. thank you both, good to have you. >> stephanie: so much to watch, so many twists and turns. >> whit: exactly. >> stephanie: let's check in with somara theodore with a check on the weather. i'm keeping a close eye on the weather in new york city. hosting the veteran's day parade after the show. how's it looking? >> somara: i'll have a special forecast just for you. let's get that in the works for 8:00. we now take you to newport in florida right now, they have a real interesting dynamic going on here, this is a dust devil, what we see is a pocket of hot air that rises really quickly through cooler air, and as a result we get a dust devil. i have to stress that is not a tornado. okay? so speaking of a hot pocket, the entire state of florida is basically a hot pocket.

we've got temperatures reaching their hottest year on record so far in different cities from tampa to fort myers, down to miami, temperatures in the low 70s. and here we go, steph, this is just for you, temperatures in new york are going to be in the 50s and 60s. it's very chilly throughout much of the northeast. so unfortunately not as warm as florida. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's going on a >> somara: i wish i could have >> somara: i wish i could have made it warmer for you, steph. sorry, girl, but i hope that works. >> stephanie: i'll take it. >> whit: hot pocket to warm you up. >> stephanie: pepperoni hot pocket. >> gio: coming up on "good morning america" three months after the devastating wildfires, concerns for their health. >> whit: women making headlines with the announcement of the grammy nominations. details just ahead. with the announcement of the
