The U.N. has adopted a resolution against President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Axios contributor Barak Ravid of Israel's Channel 10 News reports. 128 voted for the resolution, 9 against it, and 35 abstained.
Just before the vote, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley gave a speech threatening to pull U.S. funding to the UN if the resolution was adopted. Haley said the resolution will have no impact on Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

Hurricane Zeta has killed at least one person after a 55-year-old man was "electrocuted by a downed power line" in Louisiana as the storm caused widespread power outages Wednesday night, per AP.
What's happening: Zeta made landfall south of New Orleans as a Category 2 hurricane earlier Wednesday before weakening to Category 1. But it was still "battering southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi with life-threatening storm surge, high winds, and heavy rain" late Wednesday, per the National Hurricane Center.

NIAID director Anthony Fauci told the Journal of the American Medical Association on Wednesday he doesn't expect a COVID-19 vaccine to be ready until January 2021 or later.
What he's saying: Fauci said during the interview that the U.S. was in a "bad position" after failing to keep case numbers down post-summer. "We should have been way down in baseline and daily cases and we’re not," he said.
