this is happening some migraines on the african continent. send me your thoughts, november 9th the. this is dw news line from the impulse of opened across the united states as election day gets under way and americans to choose between presidential candidates campbell of ours . and donald trump in florida as we speak, so we chose the wife's house full years after being voted tens of millions of voting in battleground states. that could decide whether mr. trump 3 times or vice president hatteras becomes the 1st woman to win the race for the white house. absolutely, most important election in my life time. you know,

donald trump, obviously the portion right? those are the main issue. i'd be glad in this over. and i actually example for trump, i voted for our whole harris. i do choose the right choice to continue our democracy . the . i'm so glad you're welcome to the program. united states is voting for a new president folding station. so i've opened in all 50 states and wants full cost to be $1.00 of the types of presidential elections as the main content. this is the current democratic vice president come to harris. i'm the republic consult with president donald trump, the silver johnson that i have. you know, we went in with a very big lead today and it looks like the republicans have shown up in force. so let's see how it turns out. but it seems that they have really shown up in force

when he becomes high and has gone into opposing day with a big leads. as you just said, mr. trump, client, old polls show this race to be neck, and i told, responded benjamin alvarez group and joins us from miami close to my donald trump just coaching. welcome fence. what else did mr. trump the site say? good morning from florida. phil right behind me, you can see the spot with donald trump's motor. tate left, where he greeted a couple of dozen and supporters who came here down to palm beach. you just, haley, is of people here in the state of florida. wanted to vote on the same day, we've seen those numbers of millions of people in the state of florida, the already costed the vote. and the how has mind me prepared himself for this election? i'm for hosting one of the presidential candidates so we're quite close to the west palm beach convention center. that's the watch. pull it to you. what donald trump will show it show up there later tonight. it has been secure

there a lot of secret service, but also police. yeah. a lot of road closures. so that's information that many people are getting to not get close to the convention center. unfortunately. access this pretty restricted, especially for international press because the campaign is of course, prioritizing, national media here, but we have seen a couple of trump backs and also it could speak to some of his a supporters that states rally the vote flag waving. yes. today. yeah, there was a lot of hunting menu of the cause that drove by also supporting the candidate hoping that he will win back the white house on the pony stations. busy of the so there is a movement. we see them on the other side to this, of course, the special excess that he it took. but we've seen some movement on the other side on the street. that's a main entrance to this voting station. what donald trump voted with people

a coming in and looking very confident that the candidate will went to the right time spent by benjamin alvarado said, group in miami or campaigning ended on monday with the confidence making that final pictures in case swing states. donald trump held his final valley in michigan, and the vice president paris held her last rally in pennsylvania, accompanied by performances from lady gallagher and others. as we know, it is time for a new generation of leadership in america, vice president campbell and here is making her last speech to voters in philadelphia in the crucial swing state of pennsylvania. the stars including oprah winfrey and lady gaga, came out to support the democratic nominee. the

harris underscoring the state of the selection down there to come down to this one more day. just one more day in the most consequentially less than of our lifetime. and the momentum is on our side. the former us president and republican dominique donald trump, delivering his closing speech in michigan. another battle ground stays where he rode tomorrow we can fix every single problem. our country faces the beautiful that is new. i joined on stage by his children. trump told his supporters, the election is in their hands. yes,

we are old enough to deal with what we have at the stroke of midnight election day began with voting in a tiny township in new hampshire. the result, 3 votes for harris and 3, for trump. polls suggest a knife edge race with the rivals, neck and neck inside the ground state. the tide contest could mean america will face a longer wait for the final results. the now was barely a percentage point between donald trump and complet harris. in some case, states basically of actions is for most to, to close to coal. both kinds of it's, a job has been to plot to cost a victory along a difficult tactical path. dw is melissa child looks now at some of those actual pathways to the lighthouse for comma harris and donald trump. there are only a handful of states that really matter in this race were either candidate can build their path to the presidency, to win the white house,

they need 270 electoral college votes. and for campaign strategist on both sides working out their winning combination, starts by mapping out the safe bets and likely wins the states that because of demographics are candidate affiliations. among other things, historically tend to always vote the same way. and that is, most of them. it leaves us with 7 so called swing states, still in play, also known as purple states because they swing between republican red and democratic blue. and it's in these places where this election will be decided. those are the states of nevada, arizona, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. and here's the thing. neither candidate needs to take all of them for victory. so what winning combinations could work for them? let's look 1st at donald trump,

to claim the white house. one of his easiest roots would be to take back the states . he lost to joe biden, by the narrowest of margins in 2020 places like georgia and arizona. add to that north carolina, which trump one in both 20162020. and he's almost there. it then comes down to just one. when for him, in any of these 3 states, to get him over the line, all one by trump in 2016. but re taken by bite in in 2020 pennsylvania is arguably his main focus. the place where joe biden captured the presidency in 2020 with his 19 electoral college. both a win here would promise victory or could open up other routes for the former president. if he doesn't win and say georgia or north carolina. okay, so what about combo harris? how might she build her way to the white house through these 7 battleground states?

well, her best path to victory is probably through what are called the blue wall states of wisconsin. michigan and pennsylvania capture those and she'd hit exactly 274 the when but say the democrats fell in the big state of pennsylvania. harris might look towards the swing states in the south. although this would be much harder for her, for example, georgia, a state that turned blue for the 1st time since 1992 in the last election could be instrumental again, potentially offering an alternative path to victory. if harris wins here, she just need 3 more electoral college votes. and even if arizona in north carolina turn read for trump, harris could take nevada, where the races even tighter. although by this point, you'll notice the swing states are all tied to claim

a narrow victory. so there you have it, it's messy and complicated. whatever happens, we are guaranteed a very close race for the white house and with the margins and these crucial swing states to close to call. it could take days before we know who will be the 47th president of the united states of america. so let's take another look now with a wall tell all son who is a senior fellow in the case or institute that's a libertarian. think tact. he's not if he's realizing on the american legal system and particularly election law, he joins us from that new market in maryland. a welcome city view. this clearly particularly close and contentious campaign, giving its final outcome is likely to be decided in cold last time. there were dozens of legal challenges filed by donald trump, who is lost in the courts. sort of to those challenges robin the way i think

accurately. and i'm trying to pump away. i think you expect the same thing to happen. you never know. it could be that stood as with florida in the year, 2000 will come down to only hundreds of thoughts. and at that point, a lawsuit might decide because losses might change of a few 100 or 1000 pods. what law seats are on like this to do is to change $10000.00 volts. right. and what will you be looking out for as the result start rolling in our system is just complicated and entertaining because each state does things differently. and as a result, there are steps to attend to, we're trying to keep out for earlier in the event in the democratic push and steps that are just too much for us to step. so i won't be able to come up because their report fairly quickly. are florida, which means trump and new hampshire, which leads harris. i just paid for an upcoming. so with those expect,

victor is them one candidate has a lot to worry about. florida edition is a state with a lot of hispanic borders and the democrats. so hoping that shifts that hispanic, both, both of the last couple of books, mike was most of the top, not necessarily in florida in states like pennsylvania, florida, would be able to tell apart the story and book a couple of houses describe this is one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes. one of the reasons for that is that when i was in an era in which the supreme court has ruled that the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, for actions within that, that give better official duties. given that, how wondering do you think we should be at the prospect of a convicted felon becoming president? there is no tasks that for many, many of ours. donald trump, is this the issue of his thoughts. it is not so much what they think of kind of what her us as what they think of donald trump and trump has had this security vulnerability work. the more he just passed security more,

his course supporters will support him and go out and work for him. of thought has been his term both of the last year or 2, but well it holds up an election which requires him to reach a lot of monitors and swing voters who are not necessarily as core supports. and within that, there's a gender gap, isn't there? there's a gender gap and voting intention between republicans and democrats, which, which seems to be, it seems to be wider than ever just explain that to us or for more or less of our entire lives. we're going to have to proceed to vote more for the democrats than amended. that is not new, but there's a lot of evidence that this year there may be a wider tendered job. and there are these 2 things to look out for possible explanations. one is search of the supreme court in of changing radically, america's law on abortion to allow states to banish off has galvanized

a lot of what it is an opinion on the issue. although women often voted for life caused nonetheless express the issue to want to be done across the sooner one of their top one or 2 issues. the other thing is that's tons of personnel. and just as a colorado is everything else is one's attempt to separate them from when i moved off, identified a little more withdrawn, staying with off being approximately results. and the women are more likely to react against. and one of the trends of the democrats are looking to, with some hope as an indication for the older women also made particularly disapprove of the trunk personnel. it may have been trying to double the product english weeks. and you mentioned um latino versus uh and then loud. yeah. a poll suggests that mr. trump has been gaining support amongst black and latino voters who have traditionally

a lean democratic and what is bringing the appeal the the question people have them sit equally today because there is no topic over the course of the, of what she says and, and compared to 4 years ago, trumpet smith, nature and rose is currently with now for example, he just started the block now and would block one. and so, so it's why we expect that will lead them to a better. so with blackboard as with hispanics, different they're, they're very strong trained towards the public inside. but in the last couple of weeks, when trump of participation in a row, it was earlier act was widely seen, or something and souls that for the ricoh part of the united states. a top produced an outcry. and it meant that many well known puerto rico or the entertainers of 10 for normally not political, came out and criticized now will side or well, the reverse the trend of hispanic voters. 15 for the republicans. that's going to

be one of the big issues to look at. we've also seen donald trump ramping off obligations of bosa fluid unsubstantiated navigations, i should say. how damaging do you think this is to the american electrical system? i think it's done quite a bit of damage because all send the check and the majority of republicans do not have great confidence in the accuracy or honesty of thought calculation. ironically, people do tend to recognize that boat coming as honest in their own computer, but they suspect that it might be unfortunately the else for the country that's going to take a while to cure. no matter what happens because it's something americans were united on for many, many years. we are more protocol electrical system. we're here to address a beacon of democracy in other countries. now americans are split up. thank you for guiding us through that. so well to olsen from the cato institute. this

well election day brings to a close at one of the most unpredictable at presidential election campaigns for decades from assassination attempts to joe biden, dropping out of the race and spend like no other. now with the campaign behind us, us correspondent janelle de la, let's put together a list of 5 things to watch out for us. the votes the cast and the counting begins . here are the 5 things to watch out for on election night. and number one, trunk tactics expect donald trump to claim victory at some point during the night. even if he's losing, the former president is almost certain not to concede in such a tight race way to get a pause, but we have to do it to big direct. he's already made repeated warnings about voter fraud, claiming he'll prosecute anyone found cheating if elected. there's a good one thing, you know, with that one thing he goes to the,

that's the professional saves some say, tons that rhetoric is his way of preemptively questioning, accommodate harris victory if it happens. laying the groundwork for a legal challenge. and lawyers from both campaigns have been gearing up for months, actually years in anticipation the election results could very possibly getting wired and litigation war on that later. number 2, the jill sign effect. now obviously the green party candidate has no path to the presidency, which he is on the ballot. and to swing states like pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. and in such a tight race, a tiny votes here we're going to sign could tilt, develop more likely away from harris and towards trump. check out this attack ad from the democrats. you'll stein green party candidate for president. so why are counts close allies helping her? stein with keith,

it's on 2016. wins in battle ground. she's not sorry she helps counsel. in fact, by a vote for stein, it's really a vote for trump signed stance against us. support of israel's warren garza has also helped her gain traction among arab americans. this is a very dire situation that will be continued under both democrats and republicans. so we say there is no lesser evil in this race. number 3, abortion it's, the issue is also on the ballot in 10 states. and in most cases, voters are deciding whether to add constitutional protections on the state level to abortion. and some of the places involved like arizona and nevada or battleground states. now for his part, donald trump has struggled to find consistent messaging on the issue. well, campbell, a harris has put the fight for restoring reproductive rights at the forefront of her campaign. and i promise you, when i am president of the united states and congress passes the bill to restore

the protections of roe v wade, i will roundly sign it into law, the number for the senate and house, whichever party controls the house and senate will determine how much the newly elected president actually gets done. currently, the democrats have the slimmest of majorities, 51 to 49 in the senate, the upper chamber of the united states congress. while the republicans just about control the lower chamber known as the house. 34 seats are up for grabs in the senate, and the democrats can ill afford to lose any seats, especially since west virginia. senator jo, mansion retiring means for already down one. as for the house. well, that's widely considered a coin toss. we both analysts giving the democrats a slight edge all $435.00 seats are up for election with a few dozen races, considered competitive. and finally, a number 5 expect to wait for

a winner. or each state has its own set of rules governing elections. for instance, the swing state of pennsylvania can't start counting absentee and mailing balance until election day. it's a big state. so that could take a while. suffice to say it is possible, we will not know the election result on the night of november 5 or 6 or 7, and with so much uncertainty that brings us back to the issue of legal challenges and litigation with experts warning that the longer the wait for a winter to be announced, the more opportunity for conspiracy theories to take hold and create doubt over the process. there's lots of reasons to be concerned when so much of the rhetoric and misinformation, and uh, sort of anti democratic campaign talking points are so prevalent and getting repeated so much out of mainstream party candidates. and that's not what you want to see. so there you have it 5 things to watch out for as low as 2020 for

presidential election unfolds. setting you up for the hours and probably long days ahead. dental dental in washington, let me bring some breaking news, reaching us from israel, the prime minister's office as benjamin netanyahu. as 5, his defense minister, you're off guidelines, the prime minister should force you to have said there are too many gaps between him and mister guidelines of the management of israel's war. you'll have guns, he's likely to be replaced by the current foreign minister, israel caps. we'll have more on this surprise announcements in the next. so i'm feeling the same on take a look at that. some more stories making headlines. now. a few of those have been held in gaza for the victims of devices to is ready as strikes published in the media say at least 30 people died on monday. the tuesday including women and children is right. the military. you say it was talk saying a millicent weapon stories for so let's say hundreds of died in israel's increased

most police have safety. i said before impacts the doctors of pollution clinics and seen a search and patients bring the different and i just paid with the prime minister petro sanchez as nice to relief package with 10600000000 euros to help the survivors of flash flooding that tech killed more than 200 people in the valencia region. emergency room is that still central shopping centers. garage is an underground ta, fox, for flood victims. most of search river miles west coast have deposited more bodies, 217 people on known to died in the sides. but the numbers expected to increase as many people still unaccounted for. the w a report. those are the plans, get reports from valencia a week after slots he'd valencia. this city fee was frozen in time. just behind is one of many close schools in 20 fall municipalities. schools are shout affecting
