the sport for now. let�*s talk to our reporter who is in washington for us. it is fascinating this whole area because the democrats made it their big issue and as i was saying when you look at how people voted it was far more complicated, sometimes even more contradictory wasn�*t it? like you said, it�*s a very complicated picture. abortion on the ballot on ten states in tuesday. pro—choice activists

especially wanting to get the issue in front of voters and hoping in most cases the claw back abortion rights in states where strict bans have come in. at until tuesday abortion rights had an unbroken winning streak, every time abortion was on the ballot it won. a different pitch on tuesday night in ten states with an abortion states. seven were successful for the pro side. but to democrats predictions and hope that abortion would turn out enough swing voters especially suburban women in those swing states, that hypothesis did not come to fruition. white women once again sided with donald trump. they did say in exit polls that abortion did mattered to them but usually it mattered less than issues like the economy. so i think that while we saw there was massive support for abortion rights, we saw that again in that ballot initiative, it wasn�*t enough to

bring kamala harris to the white house. 50 bring kamala harris to the white house.— bring kamala harris to the white house. 50 both things were white house. so both things were happening _ white house. so both things were happening at _ white house. so both things were happening at the - white house. so both things were happening at the samej were happening at the same time. i want to pick out another particular state, florida, because 57% also voted to extend protections and yet thatis to extend protections and yet that is not going to happen. just explain why. unfortunately for pro-choice _ just explain why. unfortunately for pro-choice activists, - for pro—choice activists, florida by the nature of its state laws has a higher threshold than others to pass constitutional amendments. threshold than others to pass constitutionalamendments. in constitutional amendments. in some states constitutionalamendments. in some states is 50% in some states more than that but instead florida it 60%. the majority of floridians showed up majority of floridians showed up for abortion rights but given the state laws it wasn�*t enough. it�*s significant because before may when florida very strict ban came in florida was seen as the last major access points for abortion in the south. if you look at the us map prior to tuesday it�*s basically been shut down abortion access up until virginia. it is hundreds of miles of area where you cannot

get an abortion effectively in the us. so abortion activists have been holding out hope that the abortion amendment would restore access in this massive state and popular state and keep these abortion clinics open. abs. keep these abortion clinics oen. �* . , keep these abortion clinics 0 en, �* ., , , open. a really interesting breakdown. _ open. a really interesting breakdown. thank - open. a really interesting breakdown. thank you i open. a really interesting breakdown. thank you so j open. a really interesting - breakdown. thank you so much for talking to us. the postmortem is onlyjust beginning, notjust forthe democrats but for all the groups that came together to oppose donald trump. the lincoln project was one of them. they produced ads like this warning that the scariest thing that donald trump can be as president. they are a group of moderate conservatives and former republican party members who set themselves up back in 2019 to oppose donald trump as my bid for election. let�*s talk to ryan wiggins from the lincoln project. you�*ve produced so many really slick

ads and so many of underwear ads and so many of underwear ads about the threat to democracy from donald trump. 0n reflection, did you zero in on the wrong thing like the democrats?— the wrong thing like the democrats? , ., . democrats? the lincoln pro'ect had one mission i democrats? the lincoln pro'ect had one mission this i democrats? the lincoln pro'ect had one mission this year h democrats? the lincoln project had one mission this year and l had one mission this year and that was to move seven to 15% of the conservative vote over to kamala harris. we were able to kamala harris. we were able to do that. we did not have the money that we had back in 2020. we raised almost $100 million back then. i think we topped out at 20 million this year. we were targeting voters in the swing states. we were talking about democracy and democracy is important. 0ne about democracy and democracy is important. one of the things we probably underestimated and something the harris campaign absolutely underestimated was the power of homophobia in this country. donald trump�*s biggest play in this cycle was he spent $44 play in this cycle was he spent $41; million targeting men during sports. with messaging

of homophobia and ante trends. the punch line of the ad was, kamala harris is that they and them and donald trump is for you. them and donald trump is for ou. . , them and donald trump is for ou. ., , ., you. that is what the republicans - you. that is what the republicans and - you. that is what the i republicans and donald you. that is what the - republicans and donald trump did, they went for the transgender issue but they also went on the economy and the economy was definitely the thing that chimed with millions of ordinary americans and in many cases got them to switch votes. i many cases got them to switch votes. ., ,._ many cases got them to switch votes. ., _ ., , many cases got them to switch votes. ., ., , ., votes. i would say that is not completely — votes. i would say that is not completely accurate. - votes. i would say that is not completely accurate. what . votes. i would say that is notl completely accurate. what we are seeing is the trans— ads did do a lot for him. we were fighting for the same group of people. it was men, young men, and so that was a big issue. the lincoln project had an ad that would have answered that but we couldn�*t get the money to put it out in the swing states. as far as the economy

goes, the economy in america is absolutely booming right now. when people talk about the economy, what they are talking about is inflation and what they are talking about is the price of eggs. we have corporate greed here. one of the biggest problems of this country that was pointed out in this election cycle is the lack of education on certain issues. the fact they don�*t understand the difference between a booming economy and inflation and the fact that sometimes to have a booming economy you need inflation. i have a booming economy you need inflation. ., ., ., , ., inflation. i want to ask you one more _ inflation. i want to ask you one more question - inflation. i want to ask you one more question which l inflation. i want to ask you | one more question which is republicans against trump, did thatjust failed to materialise in the numbers that he would hope for? in the numbers that he would bone for?— hope for? what failed to materialise _ hope for? what failed to materialise is _ hope for? what failed to materialise is 15 - hope for? what failed to materialise is 15 million | materialise is 15 million voters who showed up forjoe biden that did not show up for kamala harris. the polling was accurate. the turnout was not. that is what we�*re seeing. they too many voters who are apathetic and did not show. irate

apathetic and did not show. we have to leave it there but fascinating to talk to you. thank you forjoining us. i want to show you the live pictures from the white house in washington. joe biden is due to speakfor the in washington. joe biden is due to speak for the first time to the media in the rose garden. we were talking to anna foster who is there for us. we think thatis who is there for us. we think that is happening in about 15 minutes. we will analyse what we are likely to hear and the sort of questions we were just talking about, about whether the democrats just got their fundamental strategy wrong in what they thought this election was about. all those recriminations and postmortems in the early hours but we will see whatjoe biden has to say. we think that starts 15 minutes.

australia could become the first country in the world to ban children under 16 from using social media. the prime minister, anthony albanese, says his government will introduce new legislation next week. katy watson, sent this report. the details of the legislation have not been debated but it�*s expected to be introduced to parliament this month. they won�*t be any exemptions to the rules, not even with parental consent. they won�*t be any penalties for young people or their parents either. the government says the onus will be on social media platforms to show they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access. 0nce steps to prevent access. once the law is passed it will be another 12 months until it comes into force, giving social media companies and of time to work out how to block access to
