joe biden got 46%. that number, 51% for donald trump, that is below what he needs to be doing if he's going to overtake joe biden and win arizona. so he has to actually -- even though he's making some ground, donald trump has to significantly improve his performance in the rest of the vote than what we just saw in that latest update. >> very important point. let's pick that up, john. because arizona we have plenty of votes outstanding, 220,000 votes david just said, waiting to be counted. >> a slower counts in the western states, arizona and nevada. to david's point you show the numbers if you're a trump supporter you should be happy. the president came out ahead in the latest batch of votes. the president won there, as david noted not by enough. the challenge is when the new votes come out in maricopa and also the rest of the state. is the president performing over that metric, well over 50%, getting close to 60%, what he needs as we count the rest of the votes. it's a slow process, given where we are

if you put that into joe biden's column today, joe biden gets 273 and he wins pennsylvania. if you put it into donald trump's column today, donald trump gets 234. so donald trump has to get pennsylvania. then he's got to get georgia, then he's got to get north carolina. then he's got to get alaska. still doesn't have 268. he has to get nevada or arizona. so that is just the math. if you look at the paths to victory, let's just go back on this for a second and look at the paths to victory. as we stand right now with the uncalled states, joe biden has nine combinations that get him to 270 and donald trump has three. there is one combination that gets us to a tie and then it goes to the house of representatives. in a couple of states right now, i would say that because pennsylvania is as important as it is, all eyes are on it right now. we have 96% of the vote in. joe biden's lead is 14,541. there is confusion about what remains out standing in pennsylvania. there are two buckets of votes not counted. the mail-in ballots are mostly counted. now i don't know what mostly means. i

newsline from berlin joe biden is elected u.s. president. right there. after an intense vote count lasting days behind in security and not failing toral votes and the crucial state of pennsylvania to win the white house we'll go live to washington for the latest on those and dollar trump returns to the white house after getting news of this election defeat there are snow signs still of a concession from the u.s. president is vowing to challenge election results in several states. on the go for a while come to the program democratic presidential candidate joe biden has won the u.s. presidential election after sealing victory in the battleground state of pennsylvania of the 99 percent of votes counted in pennsylvania biden won 49.7 percent on the other hand 49.2 the 20 electoral votes takes home in the state allowed him to surpass the 270 needed to win the election the courting to projections by the associated press he also picked up 6 and nevada giving him a total of 290 electoral votes to republican president donald trump's 214. democratic supporters acr

and joe biden $74000000.00 so it was close and so now it's up to joe biden as president to bring everyone together and now we get to see how he goes about doing that i mean yes people like to make comparisons to 2016 but let's be clear when trump was running against hillary clinton both of them had extremely low favor ability. people like joe biden and so he's going to have to use his character people voted for that and run take stay true to his platform to move the country forward so do you think that that likability as you call it is going to be something that will allow them allow him to reach across the aisle to republicans and to trump voters you know who are very badly wanted to see donald trump win this election and become president for a 2nd term we see we'll see i hope so i think that character matters and the fact that he made fun of joe biden this whole election talking about how he's been in congress for 40 years but you make connections with people and most people on either side of the aisle say the joe biden is a man who you he stands by his word he's a man of strong charact

joe biden has a chance to win there. joe biden leads there. so if you add all that up it not only gets joe biden across the finish line, it gets him up to 306 electoral college votes. it does appear inevitable to say this is what the american people want. the american people have done this. you can't do that tonight because the race has not been called. what is the delicate balance of saying i'm confident i will win? i understand democratic anxiety. the election was tuesday and here we are late on a friday evening. also as he has consistently reach out to president trump supporters. the president is ankry. he is trying to stoke the idea that the election is being stolen. the election is not being stolen. they are counting votes. they are counting legally cast votes. if the president or the team see anything wrong they have the right to prove it in the right process in a court of law. political rhetoric does not change votes. joe biden, it's a delicate moment. an amazing moment. joe biden ran for president first in 1987. this is his third try a

in nevada, joe biden is leading in the count by over 22,000 votes. 0verall, joe biden needsjust 17 more electoral college votes in order to reach the magic number of 270 — whereas donald trump's potential route to victory is now very slim. well president trump has just tweeted, he said let's get the latest from our north america editorjon sopel. joe biden takes the lead in pennsylvania... donald trump is now trailing... joe biden is winning the overwhelming share... this mightjust be the moment, the whole ballgame. the seemingly overwhelming lead that donald trump had in pennsylvania the day after the election this morning finally evaporated and has become a biden lead. if the democratic challenger wins here, it's game overfor the president. pretty soon, the hyphen will be gone from vice—president to president—electjoe biden. it's a happy day for our country. and the march of the maths has been played out in small government buildings and windowless offices in arizona, pennsylvania, nevada and georgia. a thousand votes here, a few hundred there — all the time chipping away at do

ilia: en nevada joe biden y es una ligera ventaja. jorge: en arizona biden mantiene la ventaja, el conteo con 65.000 votos. ilia: el presidente trump ccontinÚa con ventaja con 75.000 votos. jorge: marcha por delante de biden en georgia con 9000 votos. ilia: la campaÑa del presidente trump ha respondido al avance de joe biden con avance legal. jorge: el presidente donald trump desde twitter despliega ofensiva intensa para sembrar dudas sobre legitimidad de conteo de votos. vamos a washington con jeanette rodrÍguez. reportera: desafiante en la sala de prensa de la casa blanca, se presentÓ y sin evidencia dijo que los demÓcratas estÁn tratando de robar las elecciones, que hay fraude electoral, que es una maravilla cÓmo ahora cuando estÁn contando las boletas por correo estÁn desapareciendo los votos a su favor. una vez mÁs no presenta evidencia de lo que estÁ diciendo. dijo tambiÉn que pensilvania, especÍficamente en la ciudad de detroit no deberÍa ser importantes y cruciales en este conteo de votos, porque allÍ hay corrup

if joe biden wins pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, that gives joe biden the presidency. >> that puts him over the top. you've been get something numbers from steve kornacki. 5,587 is the difference. he received 27,000 votes in the latest batch that came in. >> so very, very slim margin. >> it's a slim margin. it's going to expand throughout the morning unless something radically happens with trend lines that would be like, for instance, my old district in pensacola, florida, giving joe biden 90% of the vote. wouldn't happen. never gonna happen. it's not going to happen in philly nor pittsburgh as well. we know based on voting history and what's happened this past week. >> but we wait. >> yes, so joe biden, i'd be surprised if joe biden didn't pick up 70%, 75%, 80% of the remaining votes. john heilemann, there is no doubt that the decision desks are being far more cautious because if donald trump is willing to throw the republican governor and republican secretary of state under the bus in georgia and accuse them of cheating to help joe biden get elected, he certainly would do th

i know that you have supported joe biden from the get go. so on the emotional level i'm, i'm sure it feels right, but when it comes to you american law, due process, the american republic,, which requires some semblance of neutrality, g.c., that's actually a sign of respect. the election's over, there's a, in the united states, we have a tradition that when it is clear who's going to win, because they have the majority of votes that are needed for any office and for president, it's the majority of the electoral college votes. even though there are still some technical things that have to do, there are, in some key states have to certify the elections. the certification often doesn't happen for weeks after the election. and yet on election night, you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. so there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes. it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up. that

13.000 votos ahora georgia 16 votos electorales y joe biden tambiÉn una ventaja de 150 votos, nevada donde joe biden por ahora tiene una ventaja de unos 20 mil votos. >>> tambiÉn estamos a la espera de arizona donde joe biden tambiÉn tiene una ventaja, de 39 mil votos y carolina del norte aquÍ el presidente donald trump estÁ por atlante con 76 mil votos mÁs o menos aquÍ tenemos el balance del poder en el senado los demÓcratas cuentan con 48 representantes, contra 48 republicanos, los demÓcratas lograron ganarse un escaÑo en arizona. y el presidente donald trump ha vuelto a manifestar su pensamiento sobre estas elecciones centrado en el recuento del votos y lo ha hecho con una declaraciÓn sobre la transparencia de proceso, francisco nos amplÍa lo dicho por trump, muy buenas tardes. >>> quÉ tal nicole asÍ es los ojos del mundo estÁn aquÍ en la casa blanca y no es para menos, el presidente estÁ enojado por la voltereta que le han dado en pennsylvania y ademÁs hace unos minutos en un comunicado dijo que no se trata solamente de una elecciÓn sino defender un proceso elec

joe biden has 253. the president has 213. joe biden is potentially one state away from crossing that 270 threshold. that'sy we begin with the cnn key race alert. >> the key state, pennsylvania, has enough votes to give joe biden the presidency. he currently leads by 28,000 votes. that number has been growing. tens of thousands outstanding this morning. we could be getting some of that in. it's coming largely from democratic areas, his lead is expected to grow. georgia, we got new votes from overnight. joe biden leads by 7,000 vote, 16 electoral votes up for grabs. this is a razor thin margin. joe biden is expanding it. there will be a recount. the state of arizona. 11,000 votes. biden's votes have been shrinking. republicans will tell you that the president needs to win 60% of the remaining vote to win. he hasn't been getting that. so stay tuned. more votes expected from arizona this morning. finally, nevada, six electoral votes, joe biden leading by 22,000 votes at this moment, most of the remaining vote, over 100,000 left t

and joe biden has a 4,000-point lead here. this county is breaking for joe biden more than it is for donald trump. overall for the state, 97% of the votes are in and joe biden only has a 20,000-point lead in this state. but again, i just want to -- gadi, i'm using you to -- as an excuse to -- to -- to use this board because we finally got steve out of here for a little while. let's say alaska goes for donald trump. let's say north carolina goes for donald trump where he's got a small lead. let's even say georgia goes for trump even though biden has the lead in georgia. look. doesn't matter. 250 is the most donald trump can get. so they may be complaining votes in arizona. but it will not change the outcome of this election, regardless. gadi, you said, you should have some stuff, maybe, by monday? we might be waiting until monday to get final votes in arizona? >> yeah. hopefully, monday or tuesday, at this point. they say the last, big -- the last, big drop has already happened. so they are not anticipating any more batches as

joe biden says we are in for a long, dark winter. [crowd booing] but under president donald trump , we know the best days are yet to come. [cheers and applause] so, men and women, i have three things i want to ask you to do than i will let you get in from the cold. give yourselves another round of applause. i have to tell you, this is the heartiest bunch. [applause] you all are awesome. first and foremost, before the polls closed tomorrow, if you haven't done so already, we need ,ou to vote pennsylvania! vote to reelect president trump for four more years! >> [crowd chanting, "four more years!"] i actually checked on the way here, you can actually drop off your ballot if you have it before the day is over, and then going work the polls tomorrow. and if you don't know where you go, you go to the westmoreland county election bureau 2 north main street, suite 109, in greensburg. and remember, friends don't let friends vote on loan. bring a family member, bringing neighbor, bring a coworker, and vote to reelect president donald trump for

under president-elect joe biden. relations between the world's two largest economies sank during the trump presidency over issues like trade, hong kong and the coronavirus. and here to discuss the christy lieu staff from hong kong. let's talk about china's expectatio expectations under a biden presidency. >> rosemary we're still awaiting official response from beijing. but with donald trump yet to concede, chinese president xi jinping has yet to issue a statement. so, we've been monitoring the reaction. overall they've been signaling a note of cautious optimism about biden's victory. some news media saying they're hopeful biden will be able to stabilize this very rocky relationship between these two world powers. quote, biden is expected to appoint more professional officials to his diplomatic team, so it will be possible for u.s.-china tensions to take a brief time out, unquote. and then we have this from the state-run china daily newspaper which writes, quote, improving ties with china may not be a poli policy opti

biden is going to have to really focus 1st on domestic policy when do you think joe biden can start focusing on repairing america's image in the eyes of the international community of repairing those frayed relationships. well while i agree that in general american presidents do place the domestic agenda as the number one priority and for now clearly the overwhelming priority for a president biden will be fighting the pandemic he's already said that tomorrow laura monday he's going to announce his task force is going to be headed by a former surgeon general as well as head of the food and drug administration and that's going to become an international task by definition because the pen demick knows no boundaries so you know i think he's very quickly in the administration going to reconstitute the white house office and a global effort to fight pandemics and i think then that's going to start this this healing process that yes he talks about domestically as also a priority but also it'll begin very early on internationally i mean when when he returns the united states to the world he

pence: president-elect joe biden -- >> president-elect joe biden and vice president-elect kamala harris will hold an event today, their first since the race was called. eastern, event at 8:00 c-span.org, or listen on the free c-span radio app. >> the president and his lawyers say they are going to litigate this. we all know why joe biden has rushed into falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him. they don't want the truth to be exposed. thisimple fact is, election is far from over. joe biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the hotly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. in pennsylvania, for example, notlegal observers were permitted to watch the counting process. legal votes decide the president, not the news media. beginning monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. the american people are entit

this is joe biden's night. kamala harris, you could not help but be touched by that moment when she talked about how more simple presence on this stage with new responsibilities coming her way was something young women and young girls could look up and see that the promise of the country was available to them. that we live in a country of opportunity. martha: i always think america enjoys this moment, getting a look at the whole family. really cute kids in her family. this is an iconic american moment when you see the president-elect and the vice president-elect. there is joe biden soaking in this moment. pointing to folks in the crowd who he's thanking. i remember they used to call the obama administration, they talked about no drama obama. if there is a phrase obama has cultivated on the campaign trail, it's no chaos joe. he stressed that a lot. the healing is something he tapped into that obviously resonated with a lot of americans across the country. and the way he treats it, a quieter, gentler presidency.

that alone would get joe biden to 273 and just a reminder, joe biden leads here, joe biden leads here, joe biden leads here. so joe biden has the potential to get to 306 electoral college votes and that's exactly the total president trump won four years ago. again, to be careful, we're going to continue to count the votes and respect the process, but what you see right now the trajectory in pennsylvania joe biden narrowed it, narrowed it, narrowed it, now he has overtaken the president and we expect that lead to grow in the hours ahead, same thing happened overnight here in georgia, joe biden's lead they count the mail-in ballots, he eclipsed the ballot. we have some counting to do. the president has narrowed the lead in arizona. we will continue to count votes throughout the day. do not understate this moment, that one blue, this one blue, the president cannot win reelection without both of those states. they have now flipped to joe biden. they are blue, the trajectory of this race has turned in a decisive way. >> i want to check in with david chali chalian. biden has taken the lead

just heard joe biden allude to it. fauci is the most popular figure in our latest nbc "wall street journal" poll. this is what happened when a florida crowd last night started chanting "fire fauci." [ chanting ] >> don't tell anybody but let me wait until a little bit after the election. >> well, we have correspondents in all the battleground states across the country. let's begin with nbc correspondent hallie jackson in north carolina where the president is right now. nbc's mike memoli in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, and nbc white house correspondent and "weekend today" co-host. hallie, we saw a lot of discipline with candidate trump in the final weeks both on the stump and twitter in 2016. that's certainly not what we're seeing now. the attack against fauci, also praising the texas guys who went after the kamala harris bus. >> reporter: andrea, you're right. there is some political risk to the way the president is conducting the final 48 hours or so of his campaign. i'm struck. we had a chance, and our viewers did, to l

, joe biden. it's not st. joseph, so we should all be clear on that and he knows that better than most. he was vice president of the united states for 8 years under barack obama. but despite all those offices and all the privilege that comes with those offices, he remains one of the most grounded, normal human beings you would ever encounter, and that is still with him. that is still a part of him, always has been. i just got a text message from a fairly substantial official, and it reads the arc of our childrens and grandchildren's life just changed. and i think getting to your question, i think that text message says a lot about why so many people voted for joe biden. and if we take away the weight and the watch we've all been engaged in here for the past four days waiting for that magic number of 270 to be hit and it does arrive finally, there's a larger number, and the larger number is the numbers, the millions and millions of people who voted and the millions of people who voted for joe biden

was for the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i get joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim rhetoric refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bothered to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record on the head out of a drug is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't stand donald trump

that will help joe biden. you have rural counties around the state that i think are going to help trump as they come in. and so, again, that's why when you look at maricopa county, which is, again, by far the biggest -- and we thought this update from maricopa was potentially going to cover just about all of their remaining vote. i think there is still -- again, i think there's still probably 40,000 votes that are still left to come from maricopa county. so, you know, again, there's the potential here for biden to gain in pima county, for trump again to make a gain in maricopa county on par with the one you just saw. if the one you saw happens again with the remaining vote in maricopa, that could come down to 14,000 or so. again, it could go up a little bit with pima county. and with the rest of the state, you could see trump reducing it further, you know. it's tight. get it inside 10,000. does he get it to zero? >> i'm not sure. okay. stand by. let's check in once again with rich fitzgerald in pennsylvania. i

well joe biden as a worse record than donald trump joe biden was for the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i can't joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim rhetoric refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bother to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record and the head out of trump is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't

joe biden hasjust increased his if it's less than 300 votes, joe biden has just increased his lead if it's less than 300 votes, joe biden hasjust increased his lead in georgia by about that much. it's ticked up. so they are continuing to find the odd ballot here and there, laura, but it's going to be very difficult, isn't it? not only in georgia but in wisconsin, in pennsylvania, it looks very difficult. rights, and these are all states that bill clinton was the last democrat to really win and hold georgia, so it's fascinating amazed at? —— isn't it? for republicans — who identified strongly with president trump — the election has been a huge disappointment. some are claiming — without clear evidence — that the election has been stolen from them. 0ur correspondent james clayton has been speaking to trump—supporters in nevada. you are pretty heavily armed, right? maybe just a little bit. why do you feel you need to bring a weapon to today's protest? it's not the fact that i have to, it's the fact that i can and that people have died for this freedom so that i can sit here

of course, we heard joe biden talk about the pandemic. that's the most pressing issue for every american. there's a lot of different things on the democratic policy agenda, things like health care and climate change. there's a large diversity of opinion on how to accomplish those goals. as i was talking to voters here last night, they said they were happy to be out of the era of donald trump. they said they didn't need to hear a concession speech for him. they saw it on the electoral map. they are good. at the same time, they are looking ahead to what this might white house look like and what might joe biden do for the country? >> at the same time, we're not out of the era of donald trump. josh, i mentioned it at the top. while the president was golfing when the announcement was made. we saw a statement from his team saying, he is going to keep the fight. we're going to see more legal challenges tomorrow. what are people inside the white house saying? does the president have a force behind him? or is he sort of going rogue here? >> well,

it's joe biden. if you actually believe that joe biden is a socialist, you are never going to vote for a democrat anyway. that's like white voters are joe biden is going to defund the police. he is not about to defund the police. so i think as we dig through the numbers, i wonder if when you talk to some of these native spanish-speaking or spanish-speaking when they grow up in their home voters if socialism is what thmade them concerned about joe biden or did they just like donald trump. i think the bigger issue is this. this is just like during the primary where you have a large number of african-american analysts and reporters who were like, look, we got to see what happens in south carolina or what happened in georgia in 2018. there need to be more experts and more journalists and more analysts with deep relationships and connections to spanish-speaking and latino american communities so we can disaggregate these things n the same way that joe biden may have underperformed in miami-dade he did a f

joe biden maintainsa slim the vote in. joe biden maintains a slim lead. well — as we've been been reporting, president trump remains unwilling to concede defeat — and has vowed to contest election results on several fronts. in georgia where the margins are tight there will be a recount, althouthoe biden‘s lead has stretched in the past day tojust over 10,000 votes with 99% of the ballots now counted. mr trump also wants a recount in wisconsin — his lead there just over 20,500. and the trump campaign has now filed a lawsuit over ballots cast on election day in arizona that it says were incorrectly rejected. joe biden‘s lead there is 18,550 with 97% of the ballot counted. arizona's secretary of state, says the president is "grasping at straws". if the election result is challenged — it would require the president‘ legal teams to begin their fight in the state courts, before it got anywhere near the supreme court. and so far no evidence has been provided for the alleged voter fraud. in the past few hours, the former republican president george

in pennsylvania joe biden is on top. republicans always say a lot of the polls were wrong four years ago. >> nate silver, what's your forecast? >> we have trump with a 10% shot and biden with a 90% shot. things happen fairly often. at the same time you could have a poling error like biden could lose pennsylvania, arizona and michigan. that little extra cushion for people who didn't like clinton and trump, but can tolerate biden might be enough even if there is a polling miss. >> if you had a polling error like 2012? >> then you could see biden overperform and he might win states like texas. in the hispanic-rich states, democrats have sometimes beaten their polls. it's a harder group to get on the phone. there are upside cases for biden and there are cases where he wins in a squeaker. i'm sure everyone is concerned about that 10%. >> you tweeted the other day you spend 90% of your time thinking about the 10%. when you think about that and you're writing the headline on wednesday that trump won, what would be the key facto

joe biden on top right now. but there's still 400,000 votes to go and this is why the president thinks he may have a chance in arizona. the problem, it's in maricopa county right now. maricopa county is phoenix, where one of the largest cities in the entire state is and so far, joe biden has a commanding lead in that county. >> all right, tom, you and i have been studying these pathways for both campaigns. the biden campaign tonight very hope thafl if they can hold only the states where they're currently leading right now, they believe that's their path to the white house. >> that's right. for the purpose of this segment, we haven't projected alaska, but going to give that to president trump, because that's historically how it breaks. look at the path for joe biden tonight. arizona, if he wins there, and nevada, look at this number, david, 270. he gets to become president. now, it's a different story for president trump. >> that's right. broken record for me and you, tom, we talk about pennsylvania and even more

now one of joe biden's biggest challenges will be reshaping u.s. foreign policy after the trumpet ministrations america 1st approach the president elect has promised a more traditional take built on long term partnerships based on shared that democratic values by then says he'll cement old alliances like nato and be tough on russia while trump started a trade war with china and blamed it for the coronavirus pandemic biden says he wants to work with allies to pressure beijing on trade and human rights biden has pledged not to meet kim jong un without the concessions on his nuclear program that trump was alternately unable to secure the president elect says he'll end u.s. support for the conflict in yemen stop weapons sales to saudi arabia and hold its leaders accountable for killing and he's indicated he is prepared to return to the iran nuclear deal but he will not lift any sanctions until tauranga returns to strict compliance with the 2015 agreement diplomatic editor james bass says there will be relief. over the result but things are unlikely to

joe biden was to try and win them back. and he took wisconsin, he took michigan, which meant that when the day started, he was on 253 electoral college votes, he needed 17 more to become president. there were various routes, either via the south—west — nevada and arizona, or simply through the state where he grew up, pennsylvania. he grew up in scranton. and a few hours ago, that's what happened. he took pennsylvania, that took him over 270 to 273. we're still waiting on some states — north carolina, georgia, arizona, actually, nevada's been projected as well. he currently stands on 279. it doesn't matter what happens in these other states, he already has enough to be the president elect. now, one of the things that will define his presidency is how much progress he can make with congress. let's look at both houses of congress. the senate matters more because it's a tighter political contest. the democrats have 46, add in two independents who tend to vote for them, they're on 48, so are the republicans. there are four

joe biden says we are in for a long, dark winter. under president trump, we are going to distribute the vaccine, defeat the virus, open up america, and the best is yet to come. [applause] we have gone through a time of testing. but we are coming for a time for choosing. we have three more days to win four more years. [applause] and i think you know the choice has never been clear. the stakes have never been higher. when you look at their agenda, higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, abortion on demand, a green new deal, defunding police, it is clear, joe biden will be a trojan horse for the radical left. i mean, i saw in the newspapers that elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are angling for cabinet positions. now, joe biden says that democracy is on the ballot. well, i think our economic recovery is on the ballot. i think law and order are on the ballot. i also think this thing is far more foundational to the country that are on the ballot. in this election i think it is not going to be whether america ends up more republ

well joe biden as a worse record than donald trump joe biden was for the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i get joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim record refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bothered to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record to head out of trouble is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't stand

why i votedreason for joe biden, joe biden will get stuff done in the white house. the reason why the virus is not going away is because the virus -- the virus -- the reason why it won't go away is because kamala harris said back in august that barack obama and joe obamaback then -- barack was in the white house back then. council inl security china, had an emergency plan in place and that emergency plan in peoplesotects american lives. host: the president again between the out from his twitter account, this time quoting the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. here is what he is reach waiting -- we believe these people are thieves. the big-city machines are corrupt. in britainllster wrote this was clearly a stolen election. mattered, they stole what they had to steal. that was a quote from newt gingrich on the president's twitter account. for those who did not vote, phoenix, arizona, the torah, hello. i think we already took that call. let's go to chad in pennsylvania, is supporter of president trump. caller: good morning morning, everyone. the reason why i

joe biden is leading there and joe biden is leading there. if he holds those, that's it. that's gamover. the president has his lawyers in several of these states. we have a contentious environment there. if the president were to win and you have joe biden at 270. it would be a divided country. what would happen if joe biden can come back in georgia and pennsylvania then you get above 300. the president's lawyers will still have their questions but you are in a different political environment. i will leave that to our white house reporters. if you have 306, above 300, well, enough republicans are going to lead on the white house, sorry, this broke the other way which is why it is critical that we count all the votes. it is conceivable that he holds that one narrowly and we expect he's holding on that one. we know the president is going to win alaska and at the moment he's leading in maine. it is possible if joe biden holds his lead here that he's the president-elect or in theory he's the president-elect. we have demands for recount and the country waits for that to play ou

joe biden needs to get to work. he needs to get his folks, specifically over at hhs, to deal with the covid crisis, how we deal with testing, distribution, vaccines. we need to prepare for a new government. donald trump is coming out like he went in. it is a disaster. he had no transition when he came in office, and now he's trying to fool with joe biden. so let's get on with it. this is about america. it's bigger than donald trump. you are right. it's time for this nation to move forward. big challenges. job creation, economic development, redoing education in dealing with the covid crisis and joe biden is ready to take that leadership. >> listen, governor kasich, i want to play this. i want to hear what you have to say. i want to play senator chris coons and what he has to say about republican colleagues, what they're telling him. listen to this. >> they call me to say, you know, congratulations, please convey my well wishes to the president elect, but i can't say that publicly yet. >> so what's -- really? >> i do

biden, knowing how tough a competitor joe biden would likely prove to be. and indeed, he proved to be just that. here he is in his first speech to the country as president-elect, talking about the need to give each other a chance, he said. he said he's lost a few elections. he knows what it feels like talking to the 70 million americans who voted for president trump. he said but let's give each other a chance. and as he noted, wolf, he also said let this grim era of demonization begin to end here and now. he said the american people, they want us to cooperate. and dana, that's going to be a tall order in washington, d.c. we'll see if anybody on the other side of the aisle is willing to try to cooperate with him. >> yeah, we'll see. that was the clear headline. if there is a sound bite to take away from this speech that encapsulates this speech, i totally agree. it's let this grim era of demonization begin to end here and now. and it was also so whole speech. if you paid attention for one second to his message during the campaign, it's no different now than

joe biden es el presidente electo. julio háblanos de los estados pendientes y qué fueo l que hoy lo llevó a la victoría >> sí ,así es, hay que acostumbrarse, joe biden presidente bueno necesitaba 270 y tiene 279 y donald trump 214 qué lo llevó? concretamente el estado de pensilva nia,este condado de filadelfia en allentown, fueron los últimos votos que hicieron que las organizaciones de noticias pudieran proyectar que joe biden ganó pensilvania y los 20 votos electorales que otorga. lo que es interesante es ver lo que ha logrado joe biden en esta carrera falta carolina del norte, también georgia es un estado en que está empatado, y habrá recuento de votos en arizona en los próximos días habrá que ver qué ocurre. con michigan con pensilvania, ha conseguido los votos. bueno son triufnos significativos para un candidato demócrata que lograr voltear dos estados en la contienda >> ha sido una contienda sumamente reñida. maría paul aguilar ochoa buenas noches , qué dicen los seguidores del presidente? >>

obviously, you see that 13,000 and change lead, that joe biden has 13,737 votes at moment that joe biden has over donald trump. as you know, anderson, you were talking to phil about, it has been a steady march from a donald trump lead as all this vote by mail comes in, as more of the democratic areas get that vote by mail in. it has allowed joe biden to overtake donald trump's lead, and we expect as more of that outstanding vote that we think a great majority is vote by mail and in some democratic areas, that that lead is likely to grow for joe biden and pad that margin he has there. that will be meaningful in terms of decision making once we also get a fuller understanding of exactly or as much of an approximation as possible what is outstanding, what that universe is. because our decision team has to get to a very high level of competence that the number 2 candidate in the race, right now donald trump in pennsylvania, doesn't have a pathway to become the number one candidate in the race and overtake joe biden in the case in pennsylvania right now. when the decision team can get to that

joe biden met with his transition advisers this afternoon. there's a potential that future senior staff decisions could be coming later this week. wolf? >> they should acknowledge reality and move on. arlitt saenz, thank you. >>> jim acosta, the president seems to be flailing after his election loss. he's taking it out on his own administration. >> reporter: oh, that's right, wolf. we could be in for a rocky transition period. a source close to the president said they did have discussions prior to the election about firing fbi director christopher wray. these discussions hinged on the president winning re-election as firing wray could be dicey before a new biden administration coming into power. a moment feared by many of the president's critics appears to have arrived as he is throwing his weight around, unable to accept the results of last week's election. the secretary of defense was fired earlier today. that may be the beginning of the president's lame duck temper tantrum. 72 days left in power, president trump is lashing out from his soc

what's happening here is the lead that joe biden days. what's happening here is the lead thatjoe biden has over donald trump is just over 1000 lead thatjoe biden has over donald trump isjust over 1000 votes, and they have about 4000 or so absentee postal ballots to count, and about 8000 military ballots. that's not much, so that's why this recount is happening. under georgia law, if the difference between the winner and the other candidate is between .5%, and he can ask for a recount, but the state is saying that because it's a razor thin, they'll go ahead and do the recount. so not long now. not long now, possibly end of november. if we have to wait that long to find out the result in georgia, how relevant is georgia still? it is critical for the democrats because if joe still? it is critical for the democrats because ifjoe biden wins georgia, he's got a very clear path to 270. if trump loses georgia, it is devastating, and it makes it almost impossible for him to find any other way to get to 270. also he'll be the first republican to lo

but 1st let's join mike hanna and joe biden's home state of delaware where of course awaiting for joe biden just speak he said a few things but he's been speaking in the last few minutes as well. well indeed yes joe biden has been reassuring his supporters once again calling for patience insisting to as well that every single vote must be counted this is absolutely adamant about he hasn't mentioned the ongoing legal disputes being conducted by officials from the trump campaign in a number of states in all there are literally hundreds of actions that have been launched by allies of president of the republican committees in various states a large number of these have been thrown out by judges or courts in each of the states or indeed counties where the actions have been brought the actions over a large range of things such as the time in which it is taking to count the votes allegations for example that democratic help has helped up some of the votes so certainly all these allegations out there a large number of them as i said already rejected by judges this is what one of joe biden's s

do you think joe biden sees you that way? >> i don't believe president biden sees me that way. i think one of the reasons why he won election. there is a marked difference between 2020 and 2016 and how the democratic party was able to unify to joe biden's credit before the election and get everyone on the same page to make sure that we vote donald trump out of office. that being said, you know, there are, at least in the house caucus, very deep divisions within the party and i believe that we need to really come together and not allow republican narratives to tear us apart. as you mentioned, we have a slimmer democratic majority. it's going to be more important than ever for us to work together and not fight each other. and so when we kind of come out swinging, not 48 hours after tuesday, when we don't each have solid data yet, pointing fingers and telling each other what to do, it deepens the division in the party and it's irresponsible, it's irresponsible to pour gasoline on these already very delicate tensions in the party. so we can help. it's not saying that every member h

did you vote for joe biden? >> i'm not going to talk about my vote, because that is in the rear-view mirror. i am going to talk about how ki work with the new president. i know he's on the other side the aisle but i want to make sure we conservatives keep on fighting to make sure we don't have a green new deal and don't get rid of gas and coal and oil and that we don't have a make for all plan put in place and we don't raise taxes on american enterprise, that would kill the economy. so -- look, i congratulate him, but i am not going to puts a side conservative principles. >> areas you think you can work with him? >> i've not spoken with president-elect biden. i expect i'll do so at some point but i presume there is a long line of people wishing him a well and offering to work in a collaborative way. yeah, a number of places where we can work together. health care is one of those. look. obamacare not working for millions and millions of americans and we have to fix it. i would rather see is overturned and replace

biden joe biden's triumph is being celebrated well beyond the borders of the u.s. world leaders from every continent have congratulated the new president elect. will push on your own the e.u. stands ready to intensify cooperation with the new administration and the new congress there's a lot to do if you go we can strengthen our ties from our foundation of friendship and partnership. britain germany france and other european countries were the 1st along with canada to send nec congratulations most expressed parts of renewed unity and cooperation following 4 years of tense diplomacy. very much to working with president biden and his team on a lot of crucial stuff for us in that in the weeks and months ahead. change trade is national security many many many many other issues on the streets there appears to have been a collective sigh of relief from europe. i am relieved because these last days of insecurity that were weighing on my heart have been lifted will not merit the last few years is over. for us to see what i meant that he said that will certainly be a new po

joe biden said what he is going to do. he is leaning left so far we are going to become socialistic, going toic and he is raise taxes on everybody. why would people even want that. he is going to do away with the trump tax cuts, so everyone will s raised. taxe and he is and therefore temporary time, especially one pelosi put in the new amendment declare that she put in an addition to the 25th amendment, which means they are going to get him out and kamala harris will be president and she is so radically left -- host: how do you know this? caller: how do i know what? host: that that is going to happen? i amr: because pelosi said not doing this to aim it at trump. we have other people this could relate to, which was an indication that joe biden is the only other alternative. that is what they want to do so they can get hurt again and she is radical. she scares me to death. i am very disappointed. host: why does she scare you? caller: because of her radical agenda. host: and what is it? caller: they want to pack the court. th

also the speech from joe biden last night. it was incredibly different from what we've been hearing from donald trump the last four years. and we've heard this on the campaign trail. he talks about blue states and red states. and he makes this really important and has been throughout his campaign and saying it is not about blue states, it is not about rheed states, it is about the united states of america. this is something we heard from donald trump on inauguration day when he first began his presidency. it sets the stage for what we can expect from joe biden going forward the next four years. >> yeah. i mean, i think when you have someone who is true to himself and continually stays within his own character, it's such a refreshing moment of candor and authenticity. and i think it illustrates why for donald trump throughout the campaign he had such a hard time trying to label joe biden as someone that you couldn't trust, as someone who the american people should be suspicious of. of all the things that he tried to assign to h

joe biden building a lead there. new votes from nevada, joe biden, the president-elect, has a 36,186 vote lead. let me show you about votes as they come in. enjoy doing this, new thing built for the magic wall, these are from clark county. 6,095 for biden. just in. for the president, 4,215. so joe biden gets 56% plus of this. the point being, we are still counting votes. trump campaign says we shouldn't have called it. this is what we see consistently. joe biden has the lead, is getting more votes as they continue to count mail-in ballots. again, 87 votes for bide, 64 votes there, that's 53%. the issue is, we're doing this to show you, they're still counting votes but they're not changing the result as the president decides what to do. you flip it out, here's where we stand. we haven't officially called georgia, there might be a recount. waiting for them to finish arizona and nevada. joe biden put back the blue wall in democratic hands, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. joe biden will be the president-elect even as
