[0:00] I know I can beat Dan Sullivan. I beat
[0:03] Santa Claus.
[0:06] >> CBS News White House reporter Olivia
[0:08] Raldi joins us from our DC bureau. Uh,
[0:10] good morning Olivia. I don't know what
[0:12] that Santa Claus was in reference to.
[0:14] Maybe you do, but what's the latest on
[0:15] this race and this issue?
[0:17] >> Yeah, I don't. And actually, when I
[0:18] heard that sound, I said that's a good

[1:03] margin. So they are taking a very close
[1:06] look at this at the federal level. Now,
[1:08] on the state level, Alaskan Governor Dun
[1:10] Levy has launched an investigation into
[1:13] whether any of this had violated state
[1:15] law because not only are you contending
[1:17] with federal law here, but also state
[1:19] laws, which do control elections. And
[1:22] Dun Levy was on NewsNation yesterday
[1:25] where he was asked whether or not they
[1:27] would even certify the results of this
[1:29] election given that there is an
[1:31] investigation ongoing. Let'
