in 2016, it was not decided by one percentage point that was 2020, georgia. the boat difference, this time, a $127000.00 votes. you see the tech that is 16. electro votes for donald trump. so right now somebody is telling or has told over the last hour. so donald trump that he is doing very, very well at this point in the evening, carrying the south. meaning that the south right now is true to form, right? it is back to being a red part of the map. why are we looking at this? this is the battle ground grid. this is what we told you the beginning of the evening. all of this is going to go read. this is very likely to go read to have been no surprises here. it's still read, right? that means there will be no surprises. the blue we told you this would go blue. it's all still blue, so no surprises there. but what has happened to of the 7th swing states that we told you would decide the outcome of the election have been called, and those 2 have gone red and they have gone for donald trump. so that is where we stand right now, and i'm gonna hand it back over to you next. right now. there's no other way to

frame it. team trump is feeling very good about where they are. okay? it doesn't mean they have one. we don't know the outcome of the election, but they wanted to hold the self and with what they have plus the alaska that's coming, 3 electoral votes, re think the way they want to be the right. brilliantly put. all right, sir. thank you for that more later. well, let's get the view from a trump campaign on an official is watching events there at west palm beach convention center. so what do you say on this end over trump? was it on his way from our log out to the convention center that right? this was the time campaign. the been saying for a long time that the poles that suggest that this was going to be an incredibly tight race when quite accurate and they were doing much better in places like georgia in pennsylvania. and then the polls will give them credit for a lot of people dismiss that because people say this, donald trump, is that the sort of thing in the past? but it looks as if he was exactly right. they were very pleased with the way that

george, when he had performed the, in many places we thought he was doing incredibly well. and then looking at the results from pennsylvania and they think they are going to educate the as well. now if the breach that blue ball lifts the when pennsylvania it's over for come, let her know the results might not come through. it will be at lee hours of the morning. so donald trump is going to head to speak to support us, be happy and ready to party for a number of hours. i've been speaking to people inside there and they're very excited also spoke to roger student, who is one of donald trump's oldest friends in confidence. and he said it's simply the case that his message to working class americans resonated, particularly in the final dues. and he believes that what's in certainly to donald trump, close to the presidency. he says he's not going to celebrate yet, but he says he's very close to creating an incredible piece of history, a being ported out, and then winning the white house again, just 4 years later. the right i'm talking about to officially of the,

at the palm beach convention center in florida. let's head to georgia now to gwinnett county, near atlanta to an engine standing by for sir. john wants to me well, all night long people have been watching these numbers get closer and closer jump wind from it. more than 20 percent lead to an 11 percent lead to 5 percent. then ultimately to about 2 percent. and a lot of observers noted that last time this race was decided by fewer than 12000 votes. so people reluctant to call it, but now it is over and it will not happen that the 2nd democrat will win georgia. ready since bill clinton in 1992. so this is a state that went red. yeah, a blue and then back red again. if you look behind me, there were hundreds of people here counting votes up until recently. but as you can see, the work is done here. in gwinnett county, there are always a few votes to be counted about a 1000 here, there are

a absentee and we're rather. ready are provisional votes to be counted still, so those numbers might change in very small amount, but it looks like in the end, it was about 2 percent of that happens. after the bomb threats affected more than 30 polling sites, temporarily shutting them down. we're told those were not credible threats and who they came from russia and ultimately the. ready the harris campaign saw that they had a shot in this state, even though close it, showing that she was slightly behind rather consistently, but within the margin of error of those poles. but ultimately, the democrats were not able to pull it off here in the south. something the really hope would be a sign of a wave across the country to come. and it's just not happening here in georgia. they don't thinks about to 100 that in georgia. let's bring in those 2 to goes, i'll shut and james. uh, all right, so how do you assess things now? so georgian north carolina to the republicans,

cala harris saying that she's not going to be speaking this evening. there's still votes to be counted still the voices to be heard. james, how do you assess the situation? the math is pretty difficult if you're sitting there on the harris campaign. they're limited ways to, to get there to, to 70. donald trump's got to get 24 more electoral votes is got a couple different pads to get there. and he is leading in the vote counting and all of those states right now as it stands, that could change obviously. and so i, you know, i think that you gotta be looking at it as. and it's looking highly likely that trump will open up quenching the presidency. and i would just want to give a big shout out to, uh, the like uh, to the officials in georgia who, you know, they, they did the right thing in the last selection. they had some challenges where there were some questions about whether the, the boats were counted right or yeah,

accurately or timely. and they ran a pretty efficient operation today to get the boat out today. and they did it with 34 bomb threats by rushing interference. that's pretty significant, like a pressure on these a lot of pressure. and so kudos to those guys for a job well done. i think other states should look at george and say what, what are they doing and how you doing that? so they can get their books and so okay, what about the situation that you have from your point of view? oh hey, i'm feeling it available anxiety. but here's the thing. i have been through this before. i've been through 2 100-2004. i've been through 2016 as we heard about little bit earlier from our correspondence. they've also been through 2020. what we needed to do in 2020 is make sure all of our votes are counted. i've gone over this before, but commas primary strategy is to get michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. none of those states are called so i want to wait for every now. so that's what it said. what the, what is it? the co chair of the democratic national committee saying that there still ways to

be counted there still voices to be hub, which i thought was a curious kind of statement. what does that mean? i want expand on that because what we've been talking about are the exit polls. the people who shut up in person, right. we've been talking about as the early counties that reported from the beginning. most of those are rural counties. i think that we can all agree that rural or urban in person or early a democrat or republican oliver, but it's not to be counted. but what the temptation has been, especially since some of the legislatures are set up certain laws, is to count certain votes. and to talk about the nauseum all night long. and that gives us that particular feeling. but i can tell you that urban, those are counted later. and so we haven't been talking about them that long. those are voters of color. the people who vote in early are counted liter, particularly in pennsylvania, the people who and a lot of this corresponds to democratic versus republicans outs. so when the culture of the harris campaign is talking about, let's listen to all of our voices. let's not just talk about the world that are

counter 1st listening to talk about the in person, the right that a little bit more republican. that's why this feeling of anxiety. i think you can get a little bit overwhelming, particularly for folks on my side. but it is important, remember that when we counted all those visits in 2022 by then became the president . so okay, let's just do the same statement for the dnc co chair that the, you know, up our, in that position i thought it was, you know, a fund statement to, to make at this point. it's gotta be a little bit disappointed, but you know that that is an even handed statement and that could be an understatement, a little bit disappointed potentially. james, one thing we do know, official, the senate has gone through republicans. what are the implications of that briefly few with what's not just the sound, it's going to republicans, is the send. it's going to go to republicans where it looks like little, little bit of a connection. and so we've had, you know, in the past we've had such a narrow margin that if you lose a couple of vendors or one like susan collins or uh, or mccallski um,

you could be in trouble and you might not be able to get a judicial appointment or additional confirmation, or you might not be able to block a confirmation of the cabinet member or you or to actually confirm a cabinet member if the jump is elected. so that's, it's a pretty, pretty, pretty and, or is part of the overall game because they are to the deliberative body of, of, of our congress. all right, we'll leave that for me guys. we'll talk about that perhaps a little bit later. but the meantime, thanks very much that james and i'll shut here in the studio. let's cross over to a team of washington dc, and i'll change that to you. a hey science nick and welcome back to our vantage points here with all guess overlooking the white house getting a little when the late night here in washington, dc. elizabeth and co professor for american studies and political science of george washington university. now and be taught to associate professor in the school,

the public policy at the university of maryland and young fairy is a republican strategist and partner, as if the advocacy, a strategic advocacy for representing corporations. and not a profess, he is all republicans on the panel tonight and i think right now a reasonably happy man. yeah. who has been a pretty good night for republicans? we'll see i'm, i'm really worried about the house. i used to work in the house representatives, and the house is really important to give them legislation passed. if trump wants to get any of these things done, that he's talking about the especially the tax code. he's got to have republicans or we're looking closely what's gonna happen in california. i've been talking to my friends organized leadership and they're, they're worried about it. but, you know, we'll see what happens at that. that is something that people are overlooking and because it's so complicated, there's so many members of the they don't pay attention to it, but as extremely important for the american political system, they have the house to actually get stuff done. elizabeth, i'm going to go, i'll shut talking to nick said yes, that's still a pos, that's still a pos,

cumberland harris. you study american elections and the history of american elections. how narrow is that pause? i mean, she really has one chance at this point in that is to win both michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin. right now i think it is still hard to tell a lot of the places with the most support for her, which are the urban areas have not been counted yet. once they count. and we know the campaign is expecting those numbers to rise, whether they will be enough in all 3 states to push her over. i think it's hard to know right now because her numbers are low or among some populations that she might have expected to win over. and the, the trends and the swings in the other states suggest is going to be very hard to stay the same in those 3. is that right? sure. i mean, i think though, the good sign i least those people who have stuck with capital here is like black women and black men are still doing that. i know we talked a lot about black mid defecting, but they really haven't defective very much since 2020. the real defections have

been latinas and latino men and why women who is still both very republican. i think they've gotten kind of lost in this conversation. why women had been voting like whitemend for a very long time. and so they've been kind of left off the table. but i think at least it looks like in the rule, i mean the urban areas of, of michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, she'll be able to hang onto those core constituencies, which at least has good 5 of those, all the places that match the x ray you explained by x now let's go and check in and find out what the latest we've got to raise a bow, who's joining us from dibble, michigan to raise out how is the counting going the well, i mean, it's really a very long night here. we do know that around 60 percent of the votes here in michigan have been counted, but still the donald trump is leading in the state. however,

what we can tell you is that for now the larger towns, urban counties have not been tabulated. he has, among them is the city of detroit, but we're hearing that in wayne county, for example, where the choice is located right now. the counting process is being very, very slow. only 24 percent of the votes have been counting just yet. and there's some fear with the people we have spoken to that uh, something like what happened back in 2020 could happen again. let's not forget that again, that was counting process was a very, very slow at that point that we probably can started to make accusations of irregularities that triggered some protests in the center of detroit. then when we heard officials from the states referring to that they did not want to see what happened back in 2020 from happening again. well, it seems that that could happen again because how slow the accounting processes

there is some hope still among the democrats. we have spoken still. however, there were concerns prior to the selection day that for example, carmella harris was lagging behind the bolt of black men in the states, also among arab americans in the state that makes a cool shows. phone thing, enough between states that goes is what, in fact, what i am right now is a watch events of arab americans here that have been watching the results. and they were telling us that they were all voting against pamela harry's mostly because of what's been going on in living on and being got so many people voted, for example, for a candidate at the green party candidate deal. it's time for many others voted for donald trump because at least they said he's thinking about p cents. again, they say that they're angry, that they're frustrated with the current administration. and michigan is the crucial swing state. it has 15 electron volts, and many of the people we have spoken to here have voted against the democratic

party. so a force lies aren't going to be right now. and what will happen in the counties that have not been counted. he had put certainly, there is some hold on one of the democrats, but most of the people we have spoken to are not optimistic. i told the thank you very much. the razor, as we said, as our panels set a moment ago, 3 sites method. that's one of them. a, now we go to another high, jo, castro joins us live from a watch party in milwaukee, wisconsin. the heidi joe, give us the latest from that please. that's right, james. and this isn't republic game. it's party watch hardy in the city, and they'll walk you, which is a democratic strong. but even though they're typically the under lot here in this county, the people here have been very enthusiastic. they feel that things are going their way. worse from it when they're staying and they hope to win the presidency as well

. and i want to bring back our guest role in jack and we were just talking to you briefly in the last hour. and i know you were a, an activist who has been helping turn out loads here in wisconsin. what do you think it is about in terms of the message? it seems to have words and getting more of those things. motors to vote for him is just like the rest of the country. economically, we have strong, medium wisconsin, under bite in harris. every state has become a part of the state. we've also seen an influx of illegal immigration that has hurt our states and be on foreign policy effects. everybody knew more than harris administration are sitting with anybody. so his message of restoring the american dream, the 4 years of age versus agencies that are so different and such a better way compared to 4 years of biting harris has said, well, with this concept, especially younger voters like myself for the 1st presidential election in

washington county rank from every young person i know who's watching their 1st presidential election voted for trump. so many of the younger voters have voted for trump. i may even see a lot of their colleagues, tom's wisconsin, that trump is performing better, and then he didn't know. harris has also been visiting the stage quite often as well. there's your surrogate that her message has really focus on what she says. it's from the right to the country that him coming back into office would actually be damaging to this democracy. what do you think of that argument? harris has events in wisconsin had been private, a big close and they've been shut out from the public. so what about that message itself? are you at all concerned with the term returns of the white house? not one bit, not one bit. now you said that he wants to take revenge on the proceed. enemies are a lot of people will say that this might just sell more division, you know, already very polarized. yeah, we've heard that same thing in 2016 and he never actually did it again. he was

going to do that. he would have done it in his 1st. are you saying you're actually hoping that if he is elected president again, he doesn't make good on those threats about finding vengeance against that vengeance is going to be winning, going back to the white house and enacting the america 1st agenda. that is going to be the ultimate revenge is winning the election onto the white house. and the next thing is it turn down and that's all we need to do on the issue that you're most energized about the economy and integrations. i have that right? yep, yep. those foreign policy crimes, all the issues in the selection are on from the side and that's really why it looks like she is the head right now. knowing that thank you so much for your time. i appreciate it. and indeed, trump is leading here in this wednesday, which is typically part of that really well james, that's from shattered in 26 team with that 5 to reach 2nd 2020 minute flight shot.

maybe on the way to once again racking. and if he does that, his cast, it seems 70 met final up to college counts so much easier on each other. thank you very much. and the last of the 3 states we need to check in on which could help could be the, the other, the pos really full couple of harris is, is pennsylvania. joining us from philadelphia. mike, kyla, mike, can you tell us what's going on that the race is still very close? what's the latest and how long do you think we're going to have to wait as well? it's all pretty bleak at the moment for democrats of old cumberland harris james because the it is still very close the situation at the moment with 92 percent of the votes in is that trump has got 51.2 percent. couple of harris as $47.00, but looking through the results that are nearly completed and the comp t's that

these results are in there, it appears to be very little margin, very little areas for her to get mole boats to get that some 2 percent to draw her a little bit closer to donald trump, so it's not looking good. and it's really instructive to look at the results in the various counties, the big counties, allegheny, philadelphia, montgomery, delaware, all taken by harrison would appear at the stage of the evening with some 95 percent of the vote in, in those big ones. trump did take a o is leading in one of the big counties, but his real power has been in the smaller counties and also those all the more rural countries, counties remember even more than 60 counties in pennsylvania. and if you look down the list, you've got the few blue at the top where the biggest ones are the biggest amount of boats that have come in. but then you go down and it's just a long line of red in the very small counties,

820000 votes. the 80000 votes here, 40000 votes here, and that's all added up. and that does indicates a very clear trend that has happened and has become even clear in the last hour. and that is compared to 2020, that has been a significant republican shift in the number of those counties. it's very mock now, and that is a shift, a trend that would appear virtually impossible to reverse for her. so this being her last boss, pennsylvania. then the prospects are pretty bleak indeed. and i meant to have watched part to you, organized by young democrats, and this is beginning to turn into a little bit of a wake rather than apology. by can no, thank you very much. well, let's having gone to those 3 swing states, which really all now the past couple of hours. let's go to kimberly,

how could she joining us from washington d. c. from howard university. we were expecting a to see couple of harris. we now know that she's not going to go to that tonight. her co chapman kimberly. cedric richmond said, she's not going that to not know what message does that send. it seems to me to perhaps she's not prepared to concede yet, but this is a campaign that knows that perhaps you might have to conceit of the that's exactly right. james, who we can take away from this, is that this is a campaign that is looking at its options. there's no question that there is still a possibility of a pathway to the white house for comma harris, but it has narrowed considerably. but we know that there is a legal team that is looking at the options and considering what that pathway might look like. what they know is that if this is something that is very,

very close, there are options that are available there are recounts that can be pursued. there are legal challenges that can be pursued and you know that there is certainly going to be very careful. look at what can be investigated. so this is something that will take time. this is something that is going to take reflection on the part of the vice president, and that is what is taking place right now. so what we know is it, campbell harris is going to take her time making that decision. she is not speaking at howard university. her album mater, she is coming back the next day, which is tomorrow on wednesday. and that is where she will speak not only to the howard university community, but we are told from her campaign culture that she will be addressing the nation.

kimberly, you are covering the hours campaign right now. your outages areas, white house correspondent, you covered donald trump when he was the president. i mean the irish campaign that must be aware of how donald trump works. it's quite possible that he is going to come out and speak. is that absolutely. in fact, that's what we know that donald trump is, we're waiting. donald trump, to speak at any time. and a one strategy that one can expect that he might do is, is prematurely to declare victory. and you know, that is something that the harris campaign is prepared for. and so that is going to only complicate the challenges for the harris campaign. given the fact that there still is, as i mentioned, a pathway for commer harris. the fact that pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, have not been called an, even though donald trump may have the edge over comma le harris right now in those

states that does not mean they have been called for donald trump. and so if he has goes out and declares victory in advance of com, la harris, it will make it more challenging for her. but it is still not impossible for her to win the white house. they know that they have the money invested in the legal team and they are all ready prepared. but what we also know is that donald trump has also got a legal team behind him. and this is almost the worst case scenario that everyone was hoping to avoid. the fact that this might be a close spot race and that this would be an election that would be decided perhaps in the courts and not through the ballot box. kimberly how kids with the harris campaign at howard university. what we hear that the vice president will not be appearing this evening. thank you very much. back again without panel still have elizabeth and come with me and now be caught up. also,

kristen salumi out to 0 correspondence. here she is following more bad news for the democrats. tell us the latest with regard of cuz it's not just votes for president tonight. americans at voting for congressional races, but who sits in the senate who sits in the house of representatives? what's the latest and obviously that has huge implications for whoever is president and trying to get their legislative agenda. pass in the senate. the republicans have taken the majority there. they've flipped the seat in west virginia. they've flipped the seed in ohio and it's not looking good and 3 other swing states, pennsylvania, montana, and michigan. none of those races have been called no one's conceited, but it's not looking good. so, elizabeth, what does that mean? if i mean, we have lots of a slip, lots of hypotheticals here,

because nothing is but trump is looking quite strong as things stand. and we've said, we've still got to wait for those 3 states and things with a narrow pulse could still go harris's way boss. if it does go trumps way, and trump has to say that, and trump even has the house, how much more powerful does that make a president with, with the support of having decisions that you can enact with the, the house and the senate? that means that trump will be able to enact a large part of his agenda. i mean, we have seen over the last few years that the republican party itself has been fractured in certain ways through some of the less trump supporting republicans and kind of early or more establishment republicans. some of those differences are dwindling. the party has really become a party of trump, and i think what trump wants to get and acted if he has the support of both the house and the senate will likely get connected. so now be we,

we hear that house is not going to speak this evening. she's not going to how do university do you think that is wise? because trump is going to speak. we think we know what he said last time. and yes, he's looking strong at development, but if he says i one, do they need to respond to that or not? i don't know that they should because i mean the truth is donald trump is going to say the same thing every time. it's going to say is one and just want to say election was stolen because tomorrow we might see what these results look like. and i don't know what she could have said tonight, that would have been a response to or made her look stronger or any of those things. so you might be gathering and collecting her thoughts. i'm sure they are strategizing at the moment . so i don't know that speaking tonight would have done more than maybe make the people who were there who waited for hours, feel good and made us feel good in some respects. right, because it looks like she is still in the fight. i think she very much is, but it's probably, as you noted earlier about where is the past for should michigan pennsylvania in

wisconsin fall, elizabeth. we heard tool from kimberly of legal strategies from the harris camp. we know it was from legal action. elections look like, but what sort of things could they be thinking about in terms of legal strategies? it really depends if some of those things that they see are really small margins, you know, few 100 votes, even a few 1000 votes, especially in bigger precincts. that would be reason for getting a recount or for other forms of legal strategies to just make sure that the votes are fair, that everything is counted. we also know that there had been forms of voter suppression. not only long lines in the majority districts that are majority, minority or urban areas that off and go to democrats. so they could also look at what some of those other forms of voters depression might have been. we know that there was a russian interference calling your bomb threats in majority. black districts that

normally would vote for democratic candidates in georgia. so if they start to see other things like this, that will be where some of their legal strategies would come in. now be in terms of what we have seen so far, and i can making mcafee as we still don't know what's going to happen in these 3 final stage thoughts. the polls were all in the ones that we do know the on since 2000, but it's been, it's been a swing to trump that wasn't predicted by the polls. the polls have neck and neck, and there's been a swing to trump in some of these places. like a, uh, north carolina. yeah. so tell me why these are the pulse teeth guessing it wrong? i'm what i think the way we do polling has that really kept pace with the way people lived their lives. people aren't doing, you know, landlines anymore. they're doing cell phones, but people don't answer their cell phone, so they are under counting young people. i think they also are missing some older people. i think when we look at my door tags, communities like black, let's see,

no other boat as they don't do a really good job of accounting for those folks. but i also think we had overlooked the fact that some people don't tell the full truth when they do these polls. sometimes people say the thing that they think the pollster wants to hear because they might feel embarrass or they might feel like they're some shame attached. so i'm wondering where people not being fully truthful when they were answering some of these calls and saying that they were but elizabeth, that's what's called the secret trump, by the 20th century. and we've had the secret. trump voted before the 2016 and it looks like we're having the secret trunk voter again. right? we already know from both of the candidates that that were splits even within families. and we saw both of the different candidates trying to say, you know, to women. it's okay if you vote democratic, you don't have to tell your husband and we actually saw the reverse, you know, happening as well. so we do know that there are times some people might not be truthful to pollsters, where they might be somewhat embarrassed about their decisions where other people

are around who are listening. and we also know that even what people say, why they might be voting for a candidate in exit polls is, might not be the reason. so we've seen a lot of people, and we've talked a lot tonight about people who are boating around immigration or voting around the economy. but when we actually looked at where the money is being spent, most of the money for trump campaign ads were about gender. they were about boosting masculinity, and they were anti transgender. you know, um, uh, as and so that might be where some of the, you know, the vote shifting is to, you mentioned the trump campaign. if we look in florida, we sing live pictures. now we think perhaps trump is going to speak soon, but now be probably going from we'd be a speech saying of one, 0 absolutely, absolutely nothing keeps building. very good. he's feeling very comfortable. i don't think he think there's going to be a lot of movement overnight. that he'll just kind of failed to victory, and that will be that. so i absolutely think this will be his acceptance moment and

not a moment of caution for donald trump. caution is not really his big generally, but i think he's feeling very confident right now. elizabeth, if you look at the campaigns, you could argue with the exception of the very important issue of israel's war 11 and gaza warehouses so that we can deal with that issue and ignore the our, the americans. the rest of her campaign. as being a textbook campaign, a convention that went to plant and this is a compressed campaign she, she took over and you know, in a flashing in july, she's raised more money. she's done more advertising. she had, we were told a better ground game. and yet certainly in the states that he's one sofa on one with a reasonable margin, his totally unconventional campaign seems to be the way you're supposed to do is it is really interesting, especially because we even know within his own campaign when they kept asking him to be more respectable, more presentable, stop saying outland,

this things when he didn't, when he ignored that advice that his crowds actually got bigger again. so there are many ways in which what trump has done is going to have to force a serious reckoning, especially with the democratic party about what does it mean to run a campaign? now, who are we trying to target? how do you get out the vote and what should those strategies be? and again, i need to keep saying this is no thought about yet. so spots. we saw what happened with hillary clinton. we have another female candidates at the moment. looks like she is struggling. what does it say about the prospect of the 1st female president of the united states? i think it says that for isn't massage any. yes, absolutely. i think that's why those gender as those transgender focused, as was so important. i think donald trump will projects this image, right. he'll never be, you know, a felonious enough, right?

he'll never be massage of this enough. you'll never be um you know, criminal enough for many people. he projects an image, a kind of masculinity that they want to embody, that he is a person who says, outlandish things, he says outrageous things, he's unapologetic and there are people, particularly men, people who are drawn to that. and so the fact that he is unconventional to them looks like he's really smart, that he's a maverick and they're not really thinking about the sort of longer term consequences for what this means for our institutions. because the way that this country functions is largely by tradition, largely because everyone has agreed to respect the kind of rules of the road, so to speak, where it comes to our democracy. and you have a person who say, i'm not going to participate. i'm actually going to for fit all of that. and when you do that, then what do you have when you call yourself for democracy?

if the institutions, if the, the normal ways of doing things don't count anymore. elizabeth is now the middle of the night here in washington, dc like 0 to the white house. i suspect, i don't know what the button is doing right now, but if you look at other parts of the world, because it's still now in parts of europe. yeah, what do you think? are they going to make of this one? the us is close allies. it's and nato allies, but then further afield. well how they going to be judging this again? it's not done yet, but how will it be judging the way things are evolving in moscow, in beijing and around the world? well, we know in europe there was strong support for the us electing comma le harris in part because she has said from the start that she is really interested in maintaining the traditional transatlantic alliance is supporting nato. we investing in really important climate agreements like keeping those relationships strong. we know donald trump feels quite certainly, but we also see in other parts, i mean,

especially russia. we have to imagine that vladimir would be supporting trump's return and that he will probably be quite happy with some of these results. we know that part of his mission is to break that transatlantic alliance. and i think there's a way in which trump, you know, still wants to please put in and, and kind of do the things that put in would like for the united states that i think putting probably feels quite good if he sees that, you know, trump would be elected to the white house again, a naiambi, those european nations, and particularly the nato allies olden with the u. s. on the war and ukraine and support for president zalinski. they will now be wondering, what do we do if it turns out to be present in trump, in the white house? it from january, the 20th. and the decision was news of that. if, if, if, depending on what happens if those 3 states could come coming in the, in the end, and in the matter of hours. absolutely, i mean,

i think this is why this summer when those same folks came to dc in, in joe biden was meeting with them. it was about this very real possibility about showing up with our european partners their support for ukraine and making sure that they contributed more so that the support for ukraine would be there. even if donald trump became the president and sort of divested from many of those agreements and those relationships, i don't know if it will be enough. if the united states even symbolically backs away from their commitments to the ukraine under a new administration. but at least there has been some attempt to bring our european partners in our european allies into the conversation. so that should donald trump become president again, ukraine has some protection, some support. now be elizabeth and kristen. thank you very much for joining us. that's it for, for now, from here back to make a dang site. very much. j stays there in washington dc. james will come back to you

a little bit later. let's head over to adam fisher following the trump campaign outside the west palm beach convention center in florida. and uh, its been a good night so far pretty well. i was expecting final results to come through at some point. so what's the mood that i suspect that donald trump is going to wait for the his final results and he's going to appear very shortly and declare victory. and that would seem to be what his team wants him to do, simply because they believe that there's no path left in pennsylvania become louder as to when. and if you come when pennsylvania, they just don't go into the white house. the trump campaign has been pretty, for instance, the results start to come in, particularly in north carolina and also in georgia. the thought their mind was high performing in those areas and certainly seems to have been replicated in pennsylvania in wisconsin. and in michigan, there was a move in the last few days thinking that some of the highest had all the meant

them. but it's clear that donald trump is the one who's delivered the significant punches in this, despite i, i'm both started planning his transition into the white guys very shortly at the big money doing others who would spend a lot of the time in model level with donald trump and his family, these closest team advisors have now arrived here at the convention center, and they're simply waiting for donald trump dispute big night for donald trump. you'll remember back in the summer just after the assassination attempt to help the republican national convention. and at that point, the trump was well ahead from the poles. he just survived that assassination attempt on the demo. the public is where absolutely give you the believe that they were going to win the house, the senate, and also the white house. but then we saw coming on how to get involved in the race, the momentum changed, and that the public ins when quite so confident, but it appears that the blue wave that was predicted 2 years ago. so it's a since the red wave that was predicted 2 years ago has actually arrived. and

donald trump is going to go into the white house with a republican controlled senate under a public key control toys. so can push forward with a great deal of his agenda very quickly. here's the one caveat i put to all of that effectively. when donald trump takes you out of office on january, the 20th, he becomes a lame duck president. he can't run again. unsettling. the republican party's, it'll be the was, he'll be maneuvering into position to make sure that the, when the nomination for years asked of that. but the, the, the in fighting that battling to try and get that normally nation will begin from the very 1st moment after donald trump takes the oath of office. you can do a lot. but these essentially go to a window of a year to 18 months to push through is that you end up before it becomes difficult for them to get anywhere. because people will only have come from sales to what they think will be successful in coca cola. and we remember to, well, the events of the 2020 is phone call to georgia asking for more votes, and indeed the events of on capitol hill. and one may have been forgiven at that

point for thinking that you know, that would be it for adults. and it's a career political career, but so some, you know, and there were a number of senior republicans who said they were done with donald trump. lindsey graham, who's been one of his biggest supporters, mitch mcconnell, ex, corrected them after a. he was impeached by the house for the field in the senate. there were many people who said that donald trump would not come back from this. and yet he did. he declared very heavily, and people thought he was doing not to avoid his legal trouble. so remember, he faced a number of federal cases that could have ended in a deal to and they will effectively go away know, his own department of justice will make sure that they never sees the light of day . so from that strategy, it is been choose to be successful, but if you speak to people in this team, they believe that donald trump spoke to the working people the way that the democrats simply failed to do that. the democrats spent a lot of time bashing donor from been most of the time once he has to beat him. and

so when he talked about how you best would all send you web 4 years ago, do you want to cnn towards do you want to cnn, to mass immigration across the board to v o resonated with 14 plus voters. the all struck a chord and that was enough to to get them over the line not been speaking throughout, just doing one of his oldest friends, one of his oldest confidence, he's at the convention center. and he said, this is the greatest political come back in american history. i mean, maybe right, the donald trump appealed to working class voters in the way that mine of the people job i never did. and a and he said, and the way they come of the house and never could. and that was the difference in the selection and looking at the figures and we added the cab. yeah, of course. but the final results from pennsylvania and michigan in wisconsin still, and it appears that donald trump strategy worked very well. he's school the state. so we had this one in the last 2 weeks of this campaign. and it looks as if his message broke through and he was and is going to be successful enough to be the

next president of the united states. all right, that's a picture in florida back with you as a things develop the island. thanks very much. in the meantime, i tell you what, let's head to las vegas, nevada john home, and is enjoying that because nevada is the smallest swing state with just 6 electoral votes at the most diverse buffle grounds of what can we think is going to happen. now. the ability to find me started coming in nevada, there was a delay with being told that was because there was 2 lines of p for and some of the counties here lining up. i also was trying to get to go to so many thoughts to send in usually the way never nevada shakes out. is this las vegas times new usually is a role democrat play. the role areas tend republican read and then we'll show you the council. the city of reno is in is a bit tough pull. so actually drove away soon as ours will be influence here. it's

free coats as a device now and we'll see how that turns out. who's or go with me here. i'm not to be at the election rap, paul, paul t for donald trump. i'm a las vegas and i'm he was not to speak to him to go to a non c as replied newer i saw it says to move it from california to use the floating donald trump rivers policy. pretty a try writing that i want the needs of very very and we've told that donald trump is one of the right is the

truth. and i do believe this man. oh man with a huge it's just easier off with nevada. thanks a lot, nancy. i appreciate that sir. he is donald trump, jews. yeah, 6 supporters. here we go. one with us 9 say. and the people around every time it stays cold for him is quite a big issue going up. and the problem has been for some ha, ha times as well. one of the highest rates of unemployment and the, one of the highest rate rates of cost of living remains to be seen. which white face time goes yet. and the polls, whether they don't put the terminal highway. so whether they don't put donald trump

as a person to try and change the price very much. i don't home in the in nevada wells, spite of those bills age to be counted as voices to be heard. so it was like, well let's look at the votes counted and to be counted. i'm going to try and run you through what we have. certainly in terms of the battle ground states, there were 7 to have been calls 5 have not. let's see where we are. let's see what we can put in the wall and let's see what the latest numbers are. pennsylvania biggest prize of the night. 19 electoral votes campbell, a higher as needs it to win. right now, she trails trails by almost 200000 votes. donald trump is a head with 94 percent of the vote reporting. this is looking good for the former president's michigan 15 that actual votes were staying in the blue. all right, the democrats so called blue or you might need to retire that name at some point if they don't win the states. so $244.00 votes advance for donald trump. he is also a head that's only 67 percent of the vote reported though, so that could change more substantially then pennsylvania. at this point,

wisconsin 10 electoral votes. again, almost 9 out of 10 of boats reported in wisconsin and the blue wall, donald trump, ahead by a 125, almost 826000 votes. minnesota. so minnesota, we kind of expected would have been called at this point called for complet harris . this is where she picked her running mate. tim was from, he's the governor of minnesota. and right now donald trump is a head in minnesota by almost 80000 bows. this is with 76 percent of the vote report. and so donald trump so far ahead across the blue wall in minnesota. what about arizona? he's a head as well, however, can be out here. 51 percent of the vote reporting. so that means this can still has changed substantially depending on where the votes are coming from. still though he is a head, arizona, 11 electoral vote. something that complet harris at this point is really hoping she could pick up, but she currently is trailing donald trump. what else do we have? nevada 6 electoral votes, the smallest in terms of weight in the electoral college,

the smallest of the battleground states has not been called, with almost 8 out of 10 votes reporting it's so far. donald trump is a head. just checking i got this right, he's a head by 42000 boat. so what does this mean? this means donald trump is the head in all the remaining swing states plus minnesota again, where 10 was how many houses running made comes from. so the state of the race, donald trump has 247, electro votes, cala harris, pretty simple, 214. what does that tell us that tell us right now that donald trump has multiple pods to victory? why? because there are $44.00 boats that can be picked up in that. and those northern states that are white on your map, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and even minnesota, there are well $44.00 with wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania plus 10 and minnesota. so there are multiple avenues to victory for donald trump right there alone. there were 17 in south west. so that's the number we have right now, 247 to 214. donald trump right now,

feeling good to a very good to great about his chances nichols, and come to her since that she is not going to speak tonight. but it looks as if the problem maybe about 2 in becoming a circle for the time being. thanks very much indeed. let's bring in, i guess he'll be here to assess everything is as time goes on. one, what i'm just going to i'm just hearing in my ear. that's uh, fox news. and only fox news has cooled the election for donald trump. only fox news at this point in time. so let's just have a look at these as scenes. this is tied to the palm beach convention center where the transporters are expecting donald trump to arrive shortly as it was told of him having arrived already. but there's no sign of him at this point in time. at the crowd is celebrating because of the fault screens. they've just seen the folks screens which have made this announcement saying that the double trump is the window but so far it is only folks news. who's made the pronouncements. we wait for

you. so say it is press results to confirm it. so we are not yet confirmed yet, but as far as trump support is uh uh, in west palm beach convention center. uh, concerned that zillow trump will be the next president. so guys, what do you make of where we're at, james? first. i mean, it looks really strong for, for donald trump. uh, you know, it's, it's, it's sort of a scary position as news, as an outlet to call the election. you know, ahead of everyone else. but fox actually has had a history of a being right. and they were right in arizona in the, in the past. and so i don't know, i saw the top pathway for calm a lot regardless at this point, right there are still being count there. so let me tell you how to make that care about the use of make the goals. i a 10200 boats are still being counted and you

know, other news agencies haven't called it yet. so i think we'll have to wait and see when uh, a p calls at uh to, you know, give that double confirmation here. i said, you're a democrat political strategist. how are you feeling right now? just to comment on fox news calling the election. and for donald trump, number in 2020, they called arizona early now they ended up incorrect, but they got the people responsible that their decision desk uh got a little pressure straight from the top straight from rupert murdoch. something tells me that they will not be receiving that same pressure, this timing me mean you can guess of the motivations there. all right, so i don't know, but i would continue to see what those are, count them all. i can see the same information that you are and i'm holding out hope, but i see the same numbers you guys do. right? yeah. so great still being counted, voice is still to be heard, is the democratic mess committee coaches said, but it changed whatever the picture,

what is totally clear is that we haven't polarized nation $5050.00, pretty much split with completely opposing views about the way forward. and there's been a lot of nasty rhetoric about somebody's got to change down the line. i think it does. um, you know, we can't continue to act as a nation as a united states, if we're so divided and it tends to be, you know, well, now it's $525149.00 the in every, in all the states like that, that's really tough. and you hear stories, and i've seen that in my and you know, my own life where people just, they can't get past that. it's turn of families, it's terry churches. it's tearing up, you know, all of our civil society really. and so i can't get so invested, i mean, as a conservative, i'm a limited government kind of guy and the less the government means for my everyday life, like that means they're out of my life, which is great. and so that's,

that's awesome. so i don't want to fall at the altar of politics like i have values, i have friendships, i have relationships with people i learned from people. i learned a lot from our shot during our time together. i count him as a friend. we've spent quite a bit of time together talking about various issues the we don't have to agree in order to have a good conversation and good dialogue there. there's a good sense of experience. donald trump demand to bring the country together. you know, i, i think it is, it starts at the top right with our political candidates. obviously donald trump has added a lot to devise of rhetoric. but it's also part of our media. it's uh, the way the media algorithms are set up. i mean, it's all clicks, whether it's newspapers or viewers. um i like you see more polarized media. you so you see to media outlets reporting things very differently. i think you guys do

a great job overall. obviously just be really centered and measured, which is why you haven't called the election yet because you are being centered and measured and also i think, i think we need more of that across the board. i'm sure that what about from your point of view is that you have it's only from beforehand was talking about retribution is about must deportations. is that the atmosphere for reconciliation? donald trump has made a number of promises. for example, to repeal roe v wade and a point of justice to do so. he did that to me now have fewer rights today than they did before. donald trump became the president. he is also promises you deport 11000000 people residing here and possibly using the military to do that. when he makes those promises, i'm not sure whether he's joking or to take them seriously, but it is a serious problem to make. listen, i don't have the luxury to be able to say, hey, i don't want things to get to political or i can't, you know, don't start to, to invest in this kind of stuff. politics is invested in me. it's invested in my body. it's invested in my color of my scan. it's invested in where my parents came

from. it's in fact and who i love people. republicans in particular, we use government to divide us against each other, distract us against each other. the president, the former president, united states repeated lies so vile. i don't think it does me any good to repeat them on the air here. but it can't deny the fact that he targets groups of people, whether it's immigrants, poor here legally, and repeat some of the via lies. what would they do to other people's animals to other people's rights? is it said james? i that's true, isn't. it? is mendacity was, was pretty extreme there's, there's rhetoric and he says things you know, whether he's thought about them in advance, or if he says them off the cuff, i'm not sure that is unhelpful to the political dialogue in our country. if it is all at home, but it is harmful, but by the same token, right, i worked for george bush when i 1st came to washington. he was called a nazi. he was called

a racist after katrina that he was letting black people die. this is a bob the panel, this is absurd. i worked with john mccain. he was called horrible things as well. i worked for wrong me. he was called a nazi a races, all these things as well. so if you're going to continue to elevate and put everyone on that level, these are good actors and people who are trying to have public service. you might not agree with them on the politics. but the ad hominem attacks actually ratchet up the right or. and then in response, which i don't think is good or helpful, they come back and went up you and that's what i see from many of the conservatives . and they're like, they use the powers of government to target us. why can't we use the powers of government? it's argue that i think that's atrocious. and i hope we have banded. there is no democrat who is decided who is entertain the idea of using the military to forcibly remove 11000000 people. these are not the same. these are not the same author. what now for the democrats uh, you know,

they are still counting back to this point in. yeah, but if things stay the way the way they look right now, it is, it will, it feels very grim night for the democrats and whatnot for the party. i don't want to speculate in intel or if it actually happens, but something that is important that the party needs to be doing whether or not we want is to build power bill power in communities, especially amongst people who felt disempowered. i think that is when the democratic party does best and that doesn't need to be done in the context of an election. the presidential election is something that ought to be done all the way through. you can't convince somebody 3 weeks before an election that if they believe that the government doesn't care about them or the system is reg against them. you can't convince them 3 weeks for the election that actually know you're wrong and you should vote for me. that is a project that takes time and trust, right? we were going to be talking if come with harris one we, we guys will be talking about the history being made with the 1st female black president and so forth. but if donald trump does indeed,

when we have history being made and it's a way then the 2nd president in history to win a nother whitehouse to often easier for us to attempt to re election. and he will have done so after being the 1st for president to be convicted of a crime. and they all say we're, we're ton, as the most populist president in us history and the strain of populism that uh, the, some conservatives have taken uh, its like conservative populism. you know, i rejected, i reject the entire upside reject. um, uh you know, the, the, the, the purpose of, of the free market. so i, i love free markets. i, i, you know, i wanna see more of it. um, but you know, i think if you look back there were some really good things that the 1st trump administration accomplished tax reform. i thought was really great. um, there was in the regulatory environment, which i thought was really good to get the economy steering more. so there was

attempts at immigration reform. i, i, i liked a lot of what the president provided on immigration reform. at 1st he had a pathway to citizenship for doctor, but he cut the legal immigration for limits for the future. and you know, so that would have been something that i wouldn't disagree, but. all right, james, i'll sure appreciate that more and a little bit was still good. yeah. go, i was the most helpful coffee. all right, you too. thank you. get one for me while you're at it. the same it is i 700 as jim t, that is 2 o'clock in the morning in washington, dc. and you are watching houses are on the fly from a global headquarters in dough. ha. and we all have cool spring. you extended special coverage of the 2024 us presidential election. republican candidate donald trump is in the lead in the race for the white house.
