tv 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Al Jazeera November 6, 2024 7:00am-8:01am AST
7:00 am
one's, it's gmc, you're watching out there. we bring you our extended special coverage of the 2020 for us presidential election on the clock from a level headquarters here in the all i is the close on the 7 battle ground state stays on our zone. georgia, michigan, nevada, north carolina, from wherever just being here. pennsylvania, also, wisconsin together, bill lightly determine the outcome of the election, but it's still too early to cool. at this stage. a lead set across the united states now to arizona. reynolds joins is for america, for county tabulation and the election center in phoenix, rome, what's the situation there and the security problem? no security problems also pretty calm and quiet here on that front. nick, uh we do have some results that have come out over the past hour or so from the arizona secretary of state's office and it couldn't be tighter here. really. this
7:01 am
is essentially a statistical tie with about 42 percent of all the votes counted so far according to the state of arizona officials in charge of tabulating these results. donald trump has 49.7 percent, and pamela harris has 49.5 percent. so donald trump is leading tomlin harris by just over 2000 votes. so talk about your razor thin margins here. now these votes represent the votes that were cast early by mail, invalid, or by balance dropped off. the mailbox is a balance box is that is a and otherwise sent in early. so those have been tabulated for the most part. what remains are the votes that were cast today in person vote, and all the indications are, although we don't have any official turnouts. statistics is that today's turn out
7:02 am
was pretty heavy. we saw that here in maricopa county, which is by far the largest population center in the state of arizona. we also saw indications of that in pima county. that's tucson, that's sort of the 2nd largest urban center and population center in arizona. so, all indications are that there was a heavy turn out today. so with these boats coming, as you know, tight is 2000 votes and switching back and forth a bit every time the, the tabulation is updated. you can start around, we're going to jump in the some right. forgive me because we're going to move on to the table as 075. that was real reynolds in arizona. this is here in town hall and certainly have news. well, we do have news because polls have closed on the west coast and look, this is going to give the democrats some oxygen. let's take a look at what we can put up in the wall. yeah, that's right. the vice president couple of harris is now projected to be winning
7:03 am
the state of california. not exactly a surprise, but the democrats will be happy to get of course, those $54.00 electoral votes. that is one 5th of the number of electro bows that they need to get to the white house, one 5th of the 270. right. so they of, of course, needed. idaho has now been called for donald trump for president. that's for, for extra electoral votes for donald trump. what else we have washington washington has now been cool. that's the state of washington by the way, not washington d. c. okay. very different parts of the country. the state of washington has been called for comedy harris. that is 12 electoral votes. we did tell you a little earlier that she was going to run the gamut on the west coast democrats, me the west coast. they are getting the west coast california, washington. let me see if we have anything else. alright georgia, let's go back to georgia. let's take our time over georgia. 90 percent of the vote in georgia has been reported 90 percent. so does it give us a strong indication? it absolutely gives us a strong indication. donald trump 51 percent complet harris,
7:04 am
48 percent. what's more important at this point? look at a vote difference. if we do some quick math, a 140000 votes separate there. it is, a $142000.00 separate. donald trump and complet harris with 90 percent of the vote reported with the 10 percent missing to be reported. can she make up that difference? look, we just heard from the top election official in georgia, brad rafters, bird, or more on him a little later. but we just for heard from him and he said as far as he's done, he thinks this race is over and he thinks this racist but donald trump, but we're not calling it. we want to make sure we don't make any mistakes. the math, the math is what is guiding us. a 142000 votes separating trump and harris. mr. reference burger just told us there are 400000 boats left in the state to be counted for the vice president to make up this difference. she would need to get about 75 percent of the $400000.00 votes remaining. that is very unlikely
7:05 am
to happen. so that is where we are. we're not calling it, but that's where we are. it is not looking great for the vice president in the battle ground of georgia. where are we in north carolina? 86 percent of the vote reported donald trump still ahead. 51 percent 51 to $48.00. no conclusions yet on north carolina. but i do want to keep going through the battle grounds. we're in that part of the evening now. okay, where this is going to go up incrementally, the percentage of votes reported where it's 71 percent in pennsylvania. the biggest wing stay with 19 electoral votes. donald trump ahead, donald trump a head right now, 5140 a couple of harris means this. i repeat means this to win the presidency. this michigan, 16 electoral votes were in the blue war with again, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. these are the 3 states that make up the democrats, so called blue wall, the same blue wall, the donald trump turned red in 2016. that's what sent him to the white house right now. donald trump is a head. so width 28 percent of the vote reported just a small caveat here. we're not at 708090 percent of all reporting where to much
7:06 am
lower percentage right. of the vote actually having been reported in michigan. so that's something you need to bear in mind. in wisconsin, the last of the 3 blue wall states, also a battleground, of course, 61 percent of the vote reported. where are we donald trump? ahead. so we can't draw any conclusions. we cannot, i'm affirmative, we cannot draw conclusions, but here's a head currently in those arizona, 11 electoral votes, 5050. i mean that speaks for itself. it is as tight as it can be. that is where we are right now. we're, we're in that part of the evening now. nick, we're going to get incremental information from these battleground states for commer harrison, georgia. not looking great right now. things beginning to take shape and just the very beginning. so thank you very much for that. thank you. well, adam fisher is following the trump campaign. he's outside the palm beach convention sent in florida. the 1st let's go to kimberly, how could i with the harris campaign at its election watch party in washington dc.
7:07 am
say kimberly, as we're discussing all of this, how is the harris campaign team viewing it? do you think well, we've just heard of from the harris campaign and we've gotten a bit of a sense of how we think this is going to play out. now in terms of the rest of the evening, and even the next couple of days, we had to to wondering when we might see the vice president. and if this indication is correct, the feeling is we may not even see her this evening. after all. what we're hearing is that the vice president is watching these returns coming in. and as was the hope of the campaign, that this would be a very definitive result. that's not what we're seeing. in fact, as you mentioned, the results are trickling in. and because of that,
7:08 am
the results are not as definitive as the campaign would like. and so given the fact that this will take some time, this means that we may not see the vice president for some time. so in terms of how this could play out, we are going to have to wait to see the vice president and we are going to have to wait for those votes to be counted. all. busy kimberly, i will leave that for man. it's a lot more the hours minutes and i was drawn. let's go to the trump campaign. officials outside that's uh for the work west palm beach convention center in florida. what somebody there on them in contrast. oh, thomas expected to come and speak to support to see if that's because essentially quietly the trump campaign thinks they've got this one. they think they're going to win in georgia. they think that that will be confirmed. they think that they've turned the corner in the state. remember, don't go buy one it in 2020 and they think they're in
7:09 am
a very good position in the other 3 major swing states become a law is pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. the assembly looking at the figures coming out of pennsylvania and they actually think they've got a chance of winning that as well. they believe that donald comes closing message to are you better off than you are 4 years ago, has certainly re resonated with voters because they've been going to the supermarket and realizing their weekly bills are high. what is interesting is in pennsylvania, one of the, the top topics was the threat to democracy, but donald trump is winning by 7 points. people who thought that was there, that the highest consent. and so the trump campaign believe that his swing through those important states in the last week of the campaign, even though we kind of took detours to southern virginia and also to new york. i've been choose like, successful. and of course, many people were saying that the, the research comments made in madison square garden would work against his campaign . that doesn't seem to be the case either. donald trump the quietly at the,
7:10 am
the team around them or quietly confident that he is going to go back to the white house and all that would entail come january 20th, 2025, assigned. so that's the island fisher reporting that at from palm beach in florida . let's bring in, i guess he'll be who are here, which is the truth. and it's all said allison has that music democrat, but it goes that strategist and that's under principal combat communications. also, james davis, republicans trust is in founder and president touches down strategies at 1st. what i'm going to want to talk about iowa, and then maybe to, to, but 1st let's get the overview. you'll sense of where we're at and what you've been hearing. this kind of really good momentum towards the drum and the hurricanes we've been here before. it was like this in 2020, i'm keeping calm because it is a pattern that the, some of the early of states that are reported. and some of the earliest parts within the states that are reported are going to report republican 1st. we've been here before. it was like this in 2020. so i was at this times at this point and
7:11 am
these crucial spring states. oh, i remember being up quite late in 2020 uh, watching the returns coming there. not just 2020, but 2022. i was with you all here at al jazeera and was the same sort of thing. it was supposed to be a republican blow out, but was it? it wasn't when we wait for all of the villas to get counted, then we can draw our conclusions. james? yeah, i mean we've got to wait till the votes are counted for sure. but there are some fundamentals that he look at and what's happening right now. and if you're the trump campaign, you have to take a look, a little sense of cautious optimism on it. i think that the final closing argument, so are you better off that question? is one that resonates people and people's mind, and many people don't feel better off. what do you make of the situation in iowa? we headsets uh poll. what staggering poll giving me an error in the week suggesting that comment her says what? 4 points i had to somebody, it was, it was a low point, stay was 3 points, it was
7:12 am
a lot. was that but now is going republic. and i didn't actually think that trump was going to be defeated in iowa. necessarily. that pull does tell us something interesting, that when we dive into the numbers, they asked 800 people who dive into the numbers. we saw something about women turning out and women being persuaded of the other side. even though we can call iowa, because we know it's a republican state, i am still curious to see what the breakdowns are. it may be closer than it was when trump the last one it, remember he won iowa by 9 points when count all the votes. we count des moines, some of the democratic areas, if he hasn't one by 9 points. if he's one by 6, if he was on by 3, it's actually closer than that. that might indicate something around the rest of the country, right? i mean, in terms of i, we could extrapolate something from that and yet in pennsylvania or michigan or wisconsin. right. yes. you agree with that, james? here's, here's the thing that i'm looking at with iowa. and it's a broader trend for the, the harris campaign. they really push that poll,
7:13 am
how much media coverage was around that poll, and it was a clear out hire. i mean, there was no other evidence that is that, that this was going to take shape the way the pole had had been recommended. and then when you look at the messages that the here's campaign was pushing out, they were pushing out things like motor contacts and how many pieces of mail, how many doors they knocked, all of those things, the very like what there are there are, there are telling it, it just give you a sense of the ground game, but it doesn't give you the fundamentals where the trump campaign was looking for is it was out counting our early voting numbers and how um, in certain areas, it seemed like the democrats had under performed in the early vote and how they were over performing in the early about. so i take more from those numbers because that actually gives me a sense of voters making a purchasing decision. the doctor do want to come back to the i want to come to you about something else, the common heresies, the site, but any response i have
7:14 am
a lot to say about the ground game and what we can learn from that that might be a whole other conversation broader to get in for them, so that was a lot of movements and put into the ground games. oh, absolutely not just mentioned, but significant resources. listen, both campaigns wanted to get out. voters were unlikely to show up and get some of the, some of the we call them surge road or sometimes that takes voter concepts. you have to talk to people is to be as face to face direct vote or to vote or contacted as a coordinated effort. and that is some of the harris campaign did extraordinarily well. yeah, we just heard from across one company. how could susan washington, dc, the con, pay watch headquarters for the coming harris and the democrats, suggesting that they might not see common hers coming out to not be what she returns? come in hi, be hoping for a definitive result in the end. it seems as if it's not going to be that judge. yeah, i, i think that, you know, she's going to sit back because we're not going to know we're not gonna know for awhile. so, i mean, i guess there is the opportunity where if a lot of the states, you know, georgia, north carolina, wisconsin, michigan,
7:15 am
if they start trending too heavily. uh, as of there that, you know, you've got trump. scott bought a 2 point lead. and most of these places, right? how on average and it, they all start training at that direction and you get to 8595 percent of the vote. while it still may be, be a radically possible. it becomes pretty and impossible. we're likely to hear from donald trump that way at some point soon. i don't think that's always why don't i think that's something we can all agree on. uh, yeah. i think he will have a hard time sitting still and waiting on this moment. yep. or, i guess we'll, we'll see what comes up in the coming to us. thanks very much for the time by. all right, let's set to john henry the joins not from the gwinnett county near atlanta in the swing states of georgia and john. so it must be bugs being counted. we were hearing from the searchers state little bit earlier. uh, what's the latest?
7:16 am
well, let me throw some numbers out to you if this late hour in the evening. 5.2000000 people voted here in georgia, that is a record over the less than 5000000 who set a new record in 2020 out of those 5.2000004.8000000 have been counted and with about, uh, or with about 400000 votes left to go. tamela harris is significantly behind about 3 percentage points. it's 840150000 votes or so. there are a lot of votes still to be counted in the metro atlanta area. that's where democrats tend to get most of their votes in this state, but it is not looking likely that she's going to be able to make up that gap. we're not calling it now, but the secretary of state just about has he says that he believes that donald trump has an insurmountable lead in that state. i should point out the secretary of state. brad reference burger is a republican,
7:17 am
so he might have been inclined to believe that in the 1st place. but we didn't set a record here in gwinnett county um, something like 419000 people voted, setting a new record over the 14416000 that voted. last time around. i spoke to the director of elections. here's what he had to say about the votes here. it has definitely to record at about 630 between advance and bruce and a half to 2 by mail and election day. both we were at about $419000.00 total. and the old record was 4 years ago. 416000. so we'll see what comes in in that last half hour. and everybody seemed in line at 7 o'clock. so for feeling pretty good today. and then news conference is secretary of state brad ravens burger also said that those who tried to mess with georgia messed with the. ready wrong, george, and that's a reference to the fact that about 32 different holding sites receive bomb threats
7:18 am
. bomb threats that the secretary states that we're not credible, and that only shut down the polling places for a short time. many attributed those to russian attacks on the voting system and village. that's because apparently those were connected to russian email. so those disrupted the polling for an hour or so, but did not the rail the vote, and with very little left to go cumberland harris is hoping that she can pull a rabbit out of a hat and do what joe biden did 4 years ago. but it's just not looking likely at this hour. i john, thanks for that. i don't 100 that in georgia. let's get some latest updates from available. farrell looks like you're ready. we're going to go through mostly the battleground states, all right, 7 battleground states, which we have always said, are the ones that are key to deciding the selection. so we're gonna start with north carolina at north carolina. i am just told has been on hold on before i say this, i need to confirm pre own go. we confirming this north carolina has been called
7:19 am
donald trump, the former president of the united states is projected to carry the state of north carolina. this has just happened literally 2 seconds ago. 16 electrical votes. okay, we are in the south and the united states, 16 electoral votes going to donald trump. here is the vote difference. $5148.00 with 89 percent of the vote reporting. but we now have, again, remember the blue tex, so this is the 1st of the battleground space to be counted. and this is the boat difference, a $136617.00. so donald trump, this is the 1st of the, this is the only i beg your pardon, this is the only of the battleground states that he had one last time he is winning it. and as far as i can tell, he is winning it more decisively in 2024, then he had in 2020. so this is the 1st time in the evening where the campaign managers are going to their bosses and they are able to give them news that they basically didn't already have coming into the election and the newest. but donald
7:20 am
trump is boss. you just 11 of the battleground states. okay, this is looking good for you. this is looking good for you in the south. when i say looking good for you, i'm not saying the overall outcome of the election. we are not there. we have not hit that part of the evening, but he has carried north carolina, which was not a given because joe biden was not very far, was not very far from taking it. he was within 11.3 percent of the vote it back in 2020. so he had showed democrats. he had given, given them a glimmer of hope that there was a path to victory in north carolina for the democrats. that's over. that's over complet harris is no longer has any shot in north carolina. this is where the votes were in the last 3 election. so what you see really is the gap narrowing. so obama lost the wrong the yes, but then the gap narrows. uh no, i beg your pardon, that is not actually the case. obama and clinton, both last for us to run the event to trump bite and lost the trump in 2020. the
7:21 am
state always goes red. but the democrats thoughts after what binding did in 2020, that there was maybe a pass to victory in north carolina. well, there isn't clearly because they have lost the state. so of 89 percent of the vote reported those $1611.00 electoral votes are going in the red column. they are going to donald trump and the republicans are going to be very, very happy about that. if you are with us at the very beginning of the evening, you might remember when we looked at the different scenarios, the pods to 270 for trump and harris. we said the positive $270.00 for donald trump starts withholding north carolina. he has now done that let's see what we have in georgia, 90 percent of the vote reported this has not been called yet, but as john henry and was reminding us the top election official in the state has pretty much said as far as he's concerned that this race is over and has gone to trump. we haven't counted it yet. why? because we are looking. we're being conservative and we're looking at the election math right now. the vote difference with 90 percent of the vote reported is
7:22 am
$136000.00 votes. there are 400 about 400000 votes left to count in georgia. so is there still a path to victory for conway harris? it seems very difficult to believe she would have to get about 80 percent 75 to 80 percent of the remaining votes. now pennsylvania, the biggest swing state, this one is crucial to come with harris crucial. she needs to get this if she wants to get to the white house 19 electoral votes, currently she is behind 5148. this is the vote difference. 167700 votes. so right now the vice president will be looking at this with her team and they'll be trying to figure out where are the remaining 25 percent of the votes that haven't yet been reported? where are those boats coming from? are they coming from some of the wide red areas in the state, or are they coming? do they still have like vote caches coming from the blue areas of the state? we don't have the answer to that right now. michigan with 31 percent of the vote reported. so that's not a very high number, right on the start of the boat is actually in. so this number,
7:23 am
i would say no conclusions yet, even though at this point, trump is ahead of the boat difference, a 109640 michigan michigan. look when, when donald trump carried the state in 2016, he carried 854250000 votes. so right now if this were to hold donald trump would be doing better than he did the year that he wanted to get to early in michigan. given that is only a 3rd of the vote reported to early to draw any conclusions. what else do we have? let's go to wisconsin. the 3rd and last state in the blue wall comprised of those 3 states, 10 electoral votes. donald trump is a head of 65 percent of the vote reported again, this one is too early to be really drawing conclusions. but for the moment you might notice there is no state where donald trump is behind the difference. 60 to 67700 and a this was a raise, a raise or stay in margin. in 2026. i don't want to, you know,
7:24 am
you have guessed to do that. i don't want to draw sweeping conclusions, but unless i'm missing something we haven't seen a single stake right now. we're donald trump is behind. and you know, i do think it at that point in the evening. if you think it's notice of is a big red figure, leave me here, but most of these is not. all right, sir. thanks very much indeed. thank you for that. let's take it on. we've got a guy who's here, a james in the also james. so north carolina is going republic. yeah, i mean, and what, you know, i should say options of what it was we, you know, what's interesting here a little take away is that, and i think that you'll see this across the map. is it there since what building happening here? right, you had a democratic governor when at a port candidate and it was the tauriel race um, on the republican side. and i know lots of active us there in north carolina who raised that concern in the primary even before the primary. and unfortunately, the primary system produced what it produced and you know, bad candidates you lose,
7:25 am
but the split boating is real. you see that the there and i think you're going to see it across the cross and many other swing states. how disappointed us or will the democrats be about that because they actually withdrew advertising at one point . but then kind of went back in, didn't say, well here's the thing, the primary strategy for donald trump to get to is 270 is to go to georgia, north carolina and pennsylvania. mm hm. at those 1st 2 were leaning towards trump as it was. so it'd be great for us to pick it up. it's not the thing that was going to absolutely happen. and the primary strategy for democrats as you go through michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. what they both have in common, of course, is pennsylvania. and once again, like i said, we have been here in the past. this is like 2020 is a little bit like 2022. we have to wait for all the votes, get counted in pennsylvania as an example. all of those early votes, which may be up to half of all the votes, can't get, couldn't get started on the account until the election day. it actually started so
7:26 am
that why it takes so long for us to hear back from pennsylvania. that is a law that the legislature, the republican controlled works that are passed. so that is a thing that is by design, but the thing is combat. hers is route to victory, a slightly being cut off on the i mean in the end it's going to come down to pennsylvania as we always have said it. absolutely, sure there's a lot of different scenarios. i know serial has explained to many different past victory, but the primary wind still remains that blue wall, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. donald trump wants to take that blue wall, knock it down and create a big red wall and so far, no matter what like he does. so i said, well, yeah, again the economy seems to be the thing that's, that's really stuff devices. despite all the best efforts, have come to her as to try and directs thoughts elsewhere. and because, you know, it's a very real thing is that the price of food, the price for everything in the state it's, it's so expensive. i have 5 kids. i can't even go to, you know,
7:27 am
shake shack and not spend a 100 bucks, right? i mean, it is really, really taxing on the american people. speaking of taxes, the primary economic program that, that donald trump has proposed is taxation. a tariff is a tax and that's a basic economic fact. so it's not as cut and dry as one candidate has a clear economic plan that's good for everybody. and one does not. donald trump's plan is tech stations through terrace. so can i jump in on the terrace of because i am a pure free market. uh, you know, free trader and i don't like the tear up site. i think uh, the tariffs are bad, but unfortunately both parties have been subject to using care of. so i mean, the buying harris administration just put a big tariff on pickup trucks and, and you know, this, these are different, it's bad economic policy, right? so what i contrast is say that's bad economic policy from donald trump, like goodness gracious, at least he's cutting some regulation. at least he's addressing energy costs in america by uh, focusing on exploration uh at least the he's uh,
7:28 am
focused on tax reform and, and allowing individuals to keep more of the harder and money. and you see exactly the opposite from the heres. it's different though, if i can respond to this briefly, if you primary revenue stream for trump is terrorist and that is on realistic every economist and said, you can't find the government through tear us. he wants to cut taxes for the wealth because of his plan, and he wants to increase terrace. the primary economic plan for coming here is, isn't terrace. it's making the very wealthy pay their fair share, where you live with us. and we could take care of this bible a little bit later, james of the thanks very much. the thank you are. all right, let's say you get to north carolina now. phil lavelle, our reporter is a and riley which is the state capital. so phil had, has been cool to the republicans, wants to meet the the yeah, i mean come a lot. race may, if he has to have lost by 2.7 percent,
7:29 am
that's the seems to be the emotion they told me to tell me is that at least projects it's a win by which actually is way larger than the margin you run by just against or by then, a know 2020 not. this was something that was provided the democrats with how they had seen this as such a tight margin when it was donald trump se joe biden. and they had obviously sold that this would be a chance for them to turn this basically when they put a lot of resources into this phase to try to figure flu in the end, it looks like that has not what i know the fact that kind of the house is be coming to north carolina. she was here on wednesday and she said that she felt like a witness night. donald trump clearly was concerned because he was spending more and more time 804 times in the last week. he said just uh, yesterday i have never lost north carolina and i have no intention of start seeing now. i did say that like putting him about an extra accident and this is not as to reset as the comprehensive heights here,
7:30 am
the 70 things or plug into the decisions here. the main thing in people's minds here, what is the pay which i conduct a survey, people in north carolina was the economy right. 42 percent of people said that was what would drive them at that big issues when they went to the other. 90 percent said immigration, there's 2 things that don't trouble very strong on only 11 percent said that they would be presented with issues around the bullshit. and of course, that has come with the how is the big policy she has spoken a lot about be productive rights, who's even here the other day to think about it. so it seems that the voters really kind of reputation towards those issues. as the big question was, where the on affiliated process obviously i suppose is have shots, advice. does he speak the sense and mistakes that is people who have no thoughts here for the issues that go either way, it appears that the majority has on donald trump. felt funny around about the film, the girl that raleigh, north carolina, which is the corporate hopkins with it's 16 and like tauriel dates. let's head now
7:31 am
. it's wisconsin 10, electrolytes up for grabs the one by age i bought it in 2020 by 210000. point 7 percent. what's happening now? how did you all come straight joined us? i live from walters in the spring side of wisconsin. so what's going on and if we are with the, you know, want the county republican parties watch party and they are having a really optimistic night thus far. they're watching the returns come in. they're dealing home here in the state of wisconsin. it's much too early to to all, but it does look like things are turning, drawn out from warming, how he did in 2020, when the series fairly lost the state to show abided. and i want to bring our guest here. this is roberto, the biggest chair of the milwaukee republican republicans. very nice to have you. tell me what is the feeling among those gathered here watching these return right
7:32 am
now. people are excited to see the results come in. we just saw on march, wisconsin was on the screen and we're seeing an error is like milwaukee dang. county plug for president. trump is doing a lot better than he did in 2020 for areas like milwaukee is the lose my last mentality. so we got out there and we were door knocking is an increasing that voter percentage as we increase our percentage in these inner cities. that's how we, when the state of wisconsin. so people are energetic, we are excited to say that we've left the senate to buy 2 seats in the us senate, and we still have a few others us and it saves the watch. we're watching the house races of people are fired up in energetic and we have more room just over year that we're just a little, you know, data center that we're watching. all the results come in on different platforms. busy outlets to see, you know, how is the president doing and where we're at, and different parts of the state and around the country. hillary o, it seems that trump is having a really good night. so far, not just in wisconsin, but in the swing states where he just wants caroline and he's leaning inhaler the
7:33 am
rest of us and as well from what he was, the energy behind us can say what is an explanation behind it? and i believe it's a referendum on the current administration on what's going on. people are 2nd tired of what's going on under to the by the, the harris administration. they don't trust them in power. but the disasters a lot of that happen again, a stan causing our platform on the world stage the weekend. we're on the verge of a will. busy war people don't want to see these forever. flores continue the economies out of control. people are hurting and left and right. all these issues are acting people across the nation. and that's what we're seeing right now. this is a referendum saying that we are tired of what's going on. we're going to send a message across the nation to do these leaders and saying that we don't want to represent us any more. you are flyers. and you mentioned, of course we are in milwaukee county which trends, democrat, but trump is doing better here than he did in 2020, he, he visited, his surrogates also visited this county multiple times. what was his messaging that
7:34 am
particularly targeted people in the urban areas that you think words, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? the economy, again, is hurting people. crime is out of control even though we are nowhere near the border. issues had the southern border are affecting our areas in areas like milwaukee, milwaukee, to hub for human traffic. milwaukee has a problem with homelessness. milwaukee has a problem with the fentenol drug have been demick, that's going on. people are tired and there's dying in our streets. if people want to see money returned back to our country and his last, you know, to be city's again, these are people who may have voted for president divided in tony tony. but feel like that the democratic party has so sweetly loves. and so they're seeing that president trump is really what we see as a mission of tom. and so this effective of those independent libertarians and republicans coming together. and hopefully if we win this thing, i'd like to say when we, when this thing as well, that we trade
7:35 am
a united government to return back to the comments and policies 4 years ago. busy people were doing a lot better than they are right now. well, thank you hillary. i really appreciate your time. and of course, the night is still young. so here in wisconsin, more than happy to votes have been reported next. they are training, at least 3 percentage points in favor of trump will be checking in with republicans and democrats throughout the night to get their reaction and date. and heidi will be checking back with you pretty soon. thanks very much for the time being. uh, how does your customer there in wisconsin? we're going to head over to washington dc. non james, by standing by james soil's. the next? yes, we're back here at high above the white house, just behind us a panel this hour is elizabeth. thank a professor of american studies and political science at the george washington university, and i am the casa associate professor in the school. the public policy at the university of maryland. interesting, slow me, i was just your correspondence, joining us in a moment 1st. so elizabeth, we've got
7:36 am
a little taking in the last few minutes, so we have, we have north carolina, what do we may just that that's the 1st wing state to be actually cold and cold for trump. and with i think of the correspondence said a 2.7 percent margin. that's more the last time that we have on the state last time . but more, you know, the republicans have one north carolina continuously over the last few election cycles. and i think the democrats felt that north carolina was going to be in play again over the summer, but it looks like they were wrong in this sense. but not only did north carolina go for trump, but it went by a higher margin than it did for joe biden. so we already see one potential swing state going to trump, but we still have other ones that were waiting to see the answers for. now what do you, what do you make of this? i mean, it looks like things all going in a trump direction, but it could be different in the northern states, could it not?
7:37 am
absolutely. and we also have to count all of those mailing ballots. provisional balance had been filed, so we won't know anything. this is what it's looking like, but we still don't know. okay, christa, you're here to follow for us. what's going on in the congressional races in the senate and in the house. what's the update on that? well, uh, just got an update. uh, sharon brown has conceded in ohio. so that was a long time 3 term democrats that held that significant democrat loss who's been overturn? yes, and in a red state, he's been defeated. we know also west danielle has slipped from democrat to republican as well. not unexpected, but still a flip. the democrats did make some gains. adam shift, many people might remember him from his role in the house of leading the impeachment against donald trump. he won a senate seat in california,
7:38 am
maryland. angela also brooks. that was there were some worries about democrats holding on to that stage. she pulled it off, she pulled the head. she'll be the 1st african american to represent that state in her neighbor and delaware. lisa blunt rochester also won. they are, she'll also be the 1st african american and the 1st woman to represent that state as well. so the results are coming in still a lot more to come in, but the democrats look like they may lose the majority. if this continues, if the trend continues as the polls are suggesting, kristen, thank you. we'll continue our discussion in just a moment, but you on a home and now joins us from las vegas in nevada. is the smallest of the swing states with just 6 electrical votes. strong, what's the latest from the, the well, the light system where we, uh, which isn't the republican election rap policies. the good news, really,
7:39 am
it's las vegas off throne and every so often someone comes on in announcing the banking olds, which are more, more favoring donald trump. the not gets here, but i'm not here. a large fat in nevada that i've seen a very it's been really important about 30 percent of the population. here is latino, and i'm here with melissa my 2 minutes. so you came here. you were coordinator in the united states for your parents, from chicago to our mexico. first of all, this is someone who's lived in nevada for 11 years. how. what are the big, the big issues be this rice? definitely abortion. i don't believe in abortion lessons have very specific circumstance. i'm a brand a very conservative. i'm the counselor embody is my principal. and the 2nd thing for me is they leave. we need to get back on track. i think we need to focus on ours on 3
7:40 am
before we start 80 and, and help me in other countries. there's a lot of need here, a lot of veterans that need our help, our support, our money. and i see that person in our platform is one of the other things that when we finish, when i've been a trump rallies and i, he, the rhetoric to immigrants to times cooling it, an invasion to, to know about people come from not in america, that it says coins and sometimes that a lot of america as someone who is latino, who makes from parents how do you feel about so that's a very delicate subject for me because i came here 30 years ago. i didn't speak english and i did everything i could do to learn the culture of the language . i went to college, graduated when back at my master's degree. i had the option to do something with my everybody there so many you legal,
7:41 am
amy room. 3, not necessarily from mexico, from older. and the side thing was their life is something that i just don't agree with all that america. let's make the tree matter. let's pull up as a resource or find everything on the us before we start helping and providing support to other countries that are not one of the things that don't the trumps to despise or massive simple tice. you know, the people, the, all he really is a case is yes, i was speaking to a guy who was 19 and they've been here since she's one, but she's still on documented. she hasn't found that paul is graduated from university waterfowl. cases like this because there's a lot of great, you know, with those issues where, where do you start? and i think that people that are making their part to be something where their
7:42 am
lives and they're contributing to society. they're either paying taxes are either going hard. we should have some type of agreement for them. is yours, the other people that have really not contributed to anything to the united states of america. but i don't think they should be here in the 1st a nissan. we've been talking to people including yourself as to donald trump, to someone that can really get the economy going. is a business model from inside and outside the country. there's some worries about with the kids. he's all come for busy. so no, a might be more authoritarian, he might not be willing to have checks and balances on his presidency. is not so mean the worries you or the fluid about as well. you know, she's not perfect and she's made a lot of mistakes to me when he comes before him policy. there is no other country necessarily in any way when
7:43 am
she is a business man. he says, mark me in in holy law honda. this is the best thing for our country. we need to focus on the united states of america. citizen and i believe in every single thing our republican party lot form believes, and this is why i'm here to be said. thanks so much for sharing your views of us. so we're here in nevada, in las vegas, where the polling stations are now closed, where the votes being counted, we haven't gone. it's hard to speak to the secretary of state and evolve. ernest, i seen that as a some unofficially to be available as well. so nice in this point, right. some mistake not nationally. the thank you very much, john. let's go back to our panel. we still have elizabeth now be, but we've been joined by steve clemens from out just it was the both of mine host
7:44 am
about just the bottom line, steve. since we were talking, you might want to go in since you've joined us. of course we have had some important news. the 1st one of the swing states to actually be called north carolina for trump. yes, he won it last time. the republicans of when it many times. but this is still significant, very significant because the democrats stopped. they had a chance, although i should say that in recent days, campbell harris pulled $50000000.00 of ad buys out of north carolina. put a lot of that in virginia to help save virginia, which was more wildly. and so we had signs that maybe donald trump was doing much better than then many of us knew outside of their polls. and so that was coming along. but it is significant that that was one of the several 7 battleground states will have to see how many days i have to stop you. important news. now, let's go back to several, several of the day. so will i, james? thank you very much. let's see what we can bring you at this hour. it is $444.00,
7:45 am
g m t. virginia has now gone to complet harris. the vice president is projected to win the state of virginia. it is going blue, 13 electoral votes to virginia, 51 percent for couple of harris, 47 percent for donald trump. this is with 82 percent of the vote reporting, but we can now forget that because it has been called for couple of harris. now this is a state the final result in 2020 for joe biden. in virginia was 54 percent. she's at $51.00. that number can still change, but for the moment it is giving us a little bit of a direction of travel, which means she is doing so far less well than joe biden was in 2024 years ago. still, she wins it and that will come as a relief for cumberland harris given that north carolina has been called for donald trump. we told you that earlier. so let's see what else we have in georgia. we are keeping an eye on it. remember, we're in, we're in limbo right now in georgia. it is looking very good for donald trump. very good indeed. at this point, 91 percent of the vote reporting of the vote difference is 834000. almost 835000 in
7:46 am
favor of donald trump can come with harris. make that up with less than $400000.00 votes to go. she would really need to get 80 percent of what's remaining in order to catch up with donald trump. that is unlikely to happen. we know this because the top election official in georgia told us a while ago that as far as he was concerned, as far as he was concerned, that race was pretty much done in favor of donald trump. so we've still got a question mark on it, but there is again, a direction of travel as far as georgia is concerned. where does this leave us? this is very interesting. the state of the race, 230 electro votes versus 205 for complet harris. how many do they need to remember to 70? it's right here to 70, so he's 40 short and just broad brushstrokes. there are 4444 electrical votes that to be picked up by either one of the candidates in the blue wall, 16 remaining in georgia. if he does get georgia, he's at 246 now he has just 24 left to go there
7:47 am
a 17 here. and he was 2 battlegrounds. 44 here. that opens up quite a few paths. quite a few avenue is for him to get the $270.00 and on the other hand, it narrows would narrow avenues to victory for combat harris. that is where we stand at this point, james base and washington back to you a thank you 0. i'm sorry to put you guys on pause, but it's very, very important that we get the information when it comes in. elizabeth, you'll listen to all of these think is all these percentages and they match it up by then not good news for hers. you know, even when she won virginia, which she needed to when she was not even really concerned until the very end that it would even be a question for her when we used to be a swing states it did. but recently it has really turned blue, and so to see that she won, but also by a much smaller margin, then joe biden won and perhaps than she expected. right. and does show that
7:48 am
wherever she is losing support in some of these states that should have been more secure for her, she might be losing them in other places as well. your reaction nearby will look. i mean, i think it's going to be a tough one. as said the whole time that this was going to be a res, down to the thousands of votes and that 1000000000. we knew it was going to be tight. we've never seen a woman of color in this position. i know we don't want to have that conversation office, but that's not something we've seen. and so i think there was still some proving that was going to have to happen. now. i think it will be interesting to see when all of a sudden done, whether people either defect it or just stay at home on, on election day. but i think it is concerning the, for the reasons that my colleagues have mentioned, because we are going to need every single she is going to meet every single boat. i should say we, i'm not in the campaign. she is going to need every single boat in the remaining states. so steve, what will the harris campaign be hope pay despite these results? what will the house campaign?
7:49 am
how is, how is the, what will they, what will they be hoping is going on in pennsylvania? and i was told that, that somehow as you know, in pennsylvania, they are now be, you know, they, they are, they count all the balance that come in today and know that they are the process that somehow that there are, uh, you know, voters out there in the rural areas that they hadn't expected, that maybe that wave of women who are concerned about their rights are more embedded in these places. but it's looking pretty bleak and, but i think they're hoping, you know, against all hope that, that they'll have some of these other voters that will come up. but i have to tell you, you've seen a massive, massive shift of men of color away from the democratic party and to joe biden. and they have to make that up. my, in my sense with suburban women and other women who are worried about and their allies have been worried about their role back of rights. but the big story of this, of this a night, i think is the shift in men of color towards donald trump and the republican party
7:50 am
. and steve, you couple of foreign affairs as well for i, which is 0 on your program. it's the very early morning in europe. how do you think some of those, i'm sure there are people sitting in those for administer is watching. what's going on? writing the briefing. papers for that. foreign ministers, johnson is prime ministers and presidents. when they wake up, what do you think they'll be thinking in those countries? those close nato countries about the possibility? nothing is certain yet. but the possibility of the return of donald j. trump, i think a massive shock. i think people are going to be choking on their tea and coffee in the morning. they're going to be dusting off their business cards from republicans . they dealt with before, like mike pompei or seeing if they still have jared christian years. phone number, you know, the president's son in law and trying to find pathways back to a, an administration. they have largely forgotten. but then the other thing they're going to have to seriously think about, you know, the european commission has its 1st meeting on december 1st or so love honor line
7:51 am
is come in as a very, very strong and t russian position. and they are going to have to ask themselves on december 1st, where is the trans atlantic relationship now, given the direction that may be happening with united states. so that's the only one part of the world. every part of the world is going to be and elizabeth on that one on the european union. you can crane some is good, not going to keep the same policy on ukraine, has made that very, very clear. if trump decides no more money for so lensky no more money for ukraine . do you think your could step up on that road? i think that's a hard question, but it's certainly the one that zalinski is asking right now because i'm sure she and everybody who is in charge in ukraine is quite worried. given that donald trump is now going to be possibly, you know, be, can become the president. i mean, is the lensky already tried to make amends with trump tried to get on trunk good side when he came to visit? trunk seemed a minimal in certain ways, but also sort of, you know,
7:52 am
humiliated him and others. so i think you crane is probably one of many states that are really concerned about what this relationship is gonna look like. and whether they're going to get the support that they want from the us now be um, kristen mentioned at the moment ago we hear that formerly shar brown is now conceded in ohio. what does that mean for the senate, potentially? i mean, that's still a long way of stone, but you know, lots more results to count. potentially, you could have a republican president and the republican sentence, couldn't you absolutely inevitable, very well. but this president who said that he wants to be a dictator on day one, and he won't have a lot of guard rails right employees to prevent him from doing just that. i think we have a republican party that is deeply invested in the personality of donald trump, even if they may not personally believe everything he believes in that they are more than willing to align themselves with him. and i'm not certain that there will be anybody in congress on the republican side that will really stand in the way of
7:53 am
donald trump's goals, legislatively take a step back for us, for our view is around the world, steve, because they care about who's the president. they probably get in the way, instead of who controls the site and who controls the house. but it is very, very important. is that for a president, i'm guessing hazel agenda on who controls the senate. it's usually important, but let me remind the public not to make it too complex. we often talk about republicans versus democrats, but we're going to have to begin talking about republicans versus republicans. in that scenario, there are many republican senators that will not sign off on everything. a donald trump wants to do. if he wants to put robert f. kennedy, you know, the, the, the former kennedy sky on that stepped out of the race in favor of donald trump, who wants to get slower out of fluoride out of water and stop packs, nations of children, and put them in front of, you know, in charge of the various health agencies and the government,
7:54 am
many republican senators are going to say no to that. if he wants to bring crazy people and try and get them confirmed in the senate, there will be people in the 2 leading possible senators, john cornyn and john soon so to leading center is one will be the next senate majority leader. both of them are highly reasonable, pragmatic, century style republican. so we need to be careful of thinking that just because they have the majority, the donald trump gets everything. so the old school republicans with a little bit of a baffled against a good somebody, there are enough of them. and even as you've seen other republicans, it may be coming in and winning in this race. they're not all radicals and they're not all populous. ok guys, we're gonna come back to a little bit later, but now head back to the nic. thanks, james. yesterday we will be back with the late time a little bit in a few minutes a. so let's go now to my kind of who joins us from philadelphia and mike. uh huh. more, more pennsylvania is have your interview, is the state that the democrats have go to when, if they're going to stay in the race, perhaps as we knew it would in this
7:55 am
a certain situation now. so what's the latest that very much so, but it's not looking that good at the moment. full, the democrats is still in the kinetic as it has been through much of the day as these results have been coming in. but one significant factor is that compared to 2020, that has the, is a substantial shift in the, towards republican, in a number of states in which the count has nearly being finished. so that is now a definable shift to republican. it compared to the results in 2020 and this does not make good reading for the democrats at all. now we are not expecting a result this evening. we are told we've just heard from the mayor of pencil philadelphia here. she's saying that expect to result this evening, and we also heard from the states governor was saying that the patient, the count is going on. this is what do you have to say?
7:56 am
now the most polls are closed, local election officials across the common rock, along with thousands of train volunteers have begun counting the votes. here in pennsylvania. as these votes are counted, they will be reported to the department of state. and we will post live results at the website at election returns dot p a dot gov. i wanna reassure pennsylvania and all the folks across the country who are paying attention to our common wealth that every legal eligible vote will be counted accurately. and that the will of the people will be respected very clearly, the governor given the narrowness of the result at the moment, given the narrowness of the results, we hearing very intent on making the post process of finalizing the account as transparent as possible. my kind of thanks for that my kinda in the key stone
7:57 am
state of pennsylvania. uh, what about another key swing states, arizona, a rogue reynolds jones, just now from the maricopa county type relation election center in phoenix? i think well, nick, i would echo is just what the, what mike was saying there, that the things are not going to be called tonight. the boat is going to continue for quite some time. uh, and this states, arizona with its 11 electoral votes, is essentially in a, in a dead heat is in a tie right now there's been about 42 percent of all the votes counted. those are mostly the ballots that were dropped off early or mailed in early, not the voting that took place in person today. and of that there the donald trump is a head, but by about 7000 boat. so some of our viewers will recall that in 2020
7:58 am
joe biden won this stage over donald trump by just over 10000 boats. so these, these narrow margins, trump 49.8 percent harris, 49.4 percent. that according to the state of arizona, secretary of state and his office, this is essentially it's a statistical tie. so what happens now? well, the counting will continue and it will all depend on what, what transpired today in the privacy of the voting booth when people with an individual late to the of, in person that we saw pretty large turn out today. we don't have any exact statistics released yet by the authorities as to the turn out then how it compares with other a presidential election years. but just based on what we saw here in the phoenix
7:59 am
metropolitan area and what sources are saying about what was happening in tucson, there were long, long lines of people, lots of young people, lots of women. so there are the possibility that things could shift back and forth a couple of times uh, as, as the days go go on and here this is maricopa county, that's the building behind the weather. they count the votes for the largest metropolitan area in arizona. and we talked to an election official a few hours ago. busy who said, you know, it could actually take up to 13 days for us to count the very last vote. well, i don't think it's gonna take 13 days for us to know who it will get the 11 electoral boats and who won the state, but it's gonna take some time now as far as any security threats or a voting irregularities. everything quiet on that front, there were some hoax. bomb threats transmitted to
8:00 am
a court house here in phoenix, and also to some polling places on the navajo nation in the northeastern part of the arizona. those caused some disruption, but they turned out to be there was nothing to them. the secretary of state here said that he had information linking those incidents to russian operatives. no comment on that from the justice department yet as far as we are, we know, but it's a big contrast to 2020. when after news came out that donald trump was losing arizona this. busy area behind me was full of an angry mob of a trump supporters. right now. things are about as quiet as they could be sick, or that's a picture in arizona rob reynolds reporting from that. thanks rob. just go pulse. i 500, you mt your what you on is there a way for you extended coverage of the 2024 us presidential election on the clock from all global headquarters here.
