>> I THINK THIS EVENT TODAY IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, NOT ALL THE COMMUNITY COULD HAVE MADE IT OUT HERE TODAY, BUT THEY WILL DEFINITELY SEE THE VIDEOS AND PICTURES AND I AM SURE THEY WILL APPRECIATE WHAT WAS HELD AT THE BASE TODAY.

I THINK IT WILL LEAVE A GREAT IMPACT AND A POSITIVE ONE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND CONTINUE FACING THIS CHALLENGE OUR TRIBE IS FACING.

>> Reporter: FOR EVEN THE SMALLEST OF COMMUNITIES.

>> WHETHER IT'S AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, LARGE BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES OF ALL TYPES IS WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN FROM ME.

>> Reporter: KLOBUCHAR SEEKS THE POSITION TO GROW MINNESOTA AND SAYS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR IS THE PEOPLE.

[♪♪♪] >>> ON THE HEELS OF SIZZLING INFLATION DATA, AND WITH GAS PRICES CRUNCHING HOUSEHOLDS FOR MOST OF THE YEAR, RETAILERS SAID THURSDAY THAT THEY STILL EXPECT HOLIDAY SPENDING TO TOP $1 TRILLION.

BUT THAT COMES WITH CAUTION ON BOTH SIDES.

KARIN CAIFA TAKES A LOOK AT RETAILERS' VIEW THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR BUDGET.

>> Reporter: RETAILERS BIG AND SMALL, THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS PRIMETIME.

40% OF THEIR RETAIL SALES.

MARK MATTHEWS, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH SAYS THE TRADE GROUP OBSERVED A RESILIENT CONSUMER THROUGH 2026 AND A COST CONSCIOUS ONE.

>> WE KNOW CONSUMERS WILL SHOP CAREFULLY, FIND THE BEST PRICES, SO RETAIL ERS -- RETAILERS HAVE TO KEEP PRICES LOW IF THEY WANT TO WIN BUSINESS.

>> Reporter: HIGHER ENERGY PRICES HAVE LEFT CONSUMERS IN A SOUR MOOD BUT KELLY PETERSON, SAYS THEIR RESEARCH HAS FOUND A GAP BETWEEN CONSUMER WORDS AND ACTION.

>> WHAT WE FOUND IN HISTORICAL YEARS IS THERE IS A BIGGER GAP BETWEEN WHAT CONSUMERS SAY THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND AND WHAT THEY SPEND.

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO FIND CONSUMERS INCREASINGLY USING A.I.

TOOLS TO AID IN THEIR HOLIDAY BUDGETS.

>> THEY'RE USING IT TO CHECK PRICES.

THEY'RE USING IT TO STAY ON A BUDGET.

>> Reporter: THEY EXPECT THE HOLIDAY SEASON WILL LOOK DIFFERENT FROM CONSUMER TO CONSUMER, AS LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS FEEL THE HIGHER FINANCIAL PRESSURE, ESPECIALLY FROM HIGHER GAS PRICES.

IN WASHINGTON, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

>> HOLIDAY SALES WILL ULTIMATELY SHOW WHETHER SHOPPERS FOLLOW THROUGH ON THOSE CAUTIOUS PLANS ONCE THE SEASON GETS INTO FULL SWING.

>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, STACY JOINS US NOW.
