4:03 pm
safer and stronger than it has ever been before. god bless you and god bless america. the . you've probably seen it all night, but let's have a look at that electoral college vote again and the magic number 270 for trump. trump has clinched the win and is leading harris by a count of 277 to 224, and here's how he did it. by outperforming harrison, every major swing state trump winning the battle ground states of pennsylvania, wisconsin, and north carolina. and georgia is also leading harris in michigan, nevada, and arizona. what i'm doing now by danielle or schwartz political analyst at the bureaus man foundation in berlin. so daniela, we just saw messages of congratulations from a european leaders,
4:04 pm
but despite their warrant, europe's politicians are split over. trump does the divisiveness, the trumpet books make it hard for the you to work with him. it's fairly well because the european union does many things and a conceptual way, so everyone needs to agree for instance, on a tray deal. however, now we know that some countries will try on the line with the west, lead by donald trump more than others. some will actually appreciate his also a terry and style and his leading like me to old on who says he's a very good friend of donald trump while others like the german chancellor or am, i know, am i called the french president? they take more distance. they all emphasized in the messages that it's important to work together, but we know that that ideological and political differences and really hot interest differences as well. let's talk about trade for a moment. there is fear the trunk could re ignited trans atlantic trade war is even called the you, i want to get this right. a mini trying to. he's threatened tariffs on 10 to 20 percent of imports from friends and foes. a like, do you think
4:05 pm
a trade war is ahead of us? it is possible that trump indeed increases terrace on european imports, or we introduce them. and uh, i don't know whether we should speak of a trade well, because that would mean that your re, tailgates that does very much the same thing. he clearly has one session and that is that the american external trait balance, he really wants to reduce the trade deficit with major players like germany or the u as a whole. and for that, he will work with tyrus and he will have other asks to europe. i'm pretty sure about that. this listen into what the german chancellor, olaf schultz had to say about trump and his rectory. and certainly many things will be different on the government clock led by donald trump. you always made that clear all messages, all clear. firstly, let's gemini will remain a reliable transfer that and pick pops up by talk. we know about your contribution
4:06 pm
we make to this path to shop and we'll continue to make the will. this also applies to the threat rush it represents, according to the view of alternate to at lies for security in it least on your own . most atlantic space was discussed, and secondly, that your opinion must undergo closely until act this way. as a german chancellor. what to watch that today i had an exchange with president chrome tomorrow we will meet the of the heads of state and government. so in the future we will close the line now, selves there and continue with that. and then weeks to come. more european leaders have been congratulating donald trump hungry is a right wing, prime minister, evict or bon a close ally wrote the biggest come back and us political history. congratulations to president donald trump on his enormous when a much needed victory for the world. here's the french president, emanuel mac hall, congratulations president donald trump,
4:07 pm
ready to work together as we were able to do for for years with your convictions and with my, with respect in ambition for more peace and prosperity. again, we're here back with a danielle or schwartz or from the burden gwin foundation. still with me here in the studio and danielle, one more time about europe's leaders. do you believe that they're going be able to work or with the 2nd trump administration without much rank or? i think they will try, at least, and i think the most important thing at this moment is to really make clear what the shared interest saw and what america has and the state in the stable europe. right now you're security also depends on your performing well in the alliance. and it's right. what? so a lot shorts, the german chancellor just said, europe will have to increase its contribution to nato. and i would think that the
4:08 pm
1st step should be to make it clear to the new us president. once he is in office, what had his interest would be to work with europeans and how europe is shaping up in a better way in the trans atlantic lights. and again, on trade, there's few, there trump could re ignited trans atlantic trade war use even called again, the e u. a mini china. what do you see the future there? well, i think that will be more tensions. people try to re balance the west, right? the facility will look at domestic prosperity and care, much less about a rules based and a kind of an equally equal treatment and trade relationships. he has already asked europe and companies who want to sell their products and the us market to bring production. and that's what places to the west, and i'm sure that will be more of that, that will be problematic for europe. but i don't think there's any close scenario where you will decide to turn its back on the us because it needs market access. it needs specific with nomic relationship and the security and defense relationship.
4:09 pm
but i also think that the us so you know, if you, if, if from a, from a washingtonian perspective, you thought you were a security defense without europe, i don't think that would be beneficial. so i hope the deal can be made where europe contributes more, and the wes sticks to nato with its guarantees of security, and in particular, it's to tyrants towards russia. danielle is stay with us back to you in a moment and we should mention ukraine's the present, as a lot of his zalinski was quick to post his congratulations on ex. i appreciate president trump's commitment to the peace through strength approach in global affairs. this is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in ukraine. closer, i'm hopeful that we will put it into action together. we look forward to an era of a strong united states of america under president firms, decisive leadership. we rely on continued strong bipartisan support. for ukraine in
4:10 pm
the united states, to again, political analyst, daniella schwartz, are from the bertelsmann foundation is still with me here in the studio, daniel or trump is already raised questions over your, the united states contributions to ukraine's defense efforts. do you see your feeling? the gap if the us withdrawals is financial support, well, at least it will try to and invalid. they have already been discussions, whatever berlin could do if the us doesn't contribute more than it has currently committed to supporting you, try and financially in terms of military support. but of course, germany already is the largest single contribute to of, to the us. and those only, you know, bit more that germany will be able to do other europeans will have to step up the okay and fronds. and by the way, back home very often speaks about supporting ukraine more. but if you look at the actual numbers, i'm sure friends could do
4:11 pm
a little more. so i think all europeans have to make this a collective effort. and also, you know, if, if trump moves ahead and wants to negotiate some kind of settlement to the conflict, the hope is of course, that the west would play a role at stabilizing this and helping ukraine back on a pasta will stability and peace. how do you see a 2nd, trump term impacting nato and cooperation on security policy between the us in your well, during his 1st i'm trump was very critical of nato and then he never left the lions . right. so right now, i think we will see a similar path to him that he will criticize, in particular, the european allies with a nato that they should do more for collective defense that they need to step up the spending. i need to find some other ways to spend because right now defense budgets accumulated across all europe and nato members on low and in total. but if money is spent in national and i'll get logics, who don't read the full benefits of the actual money spend. so cooperation, john spending joint on them and projects into operability of the on forces. all
4:12 pm
those goals that europe also has to pursue. and, and, you know, explain to the americans that this alliance has more balance than it used to be. and, and the mutual interest of, of both sides, which will mean that europe needs to get more engaged on asia, which is the, you know, the primary security concern for the us going forward. daniel, a very big question. this our, among all the other ones, do you see vladimir putin, of course, the leader in russia being more in bold and doing a 2nd, trump presidency? well, it really depends how trump approaches him. he has this way of personal diplomacy where he goes and you know, tries to make other leaders, his friends, and then he tries to strike a deal. we'll see how this works out with flooding and put in who, of course is a, is a very, you know, a very strong character and has his own strategy and, and won't be easily tricked into some kind of deal, which is not totally in his interest. um, but will he be in bold and i think that really depends on uh,
4:13 pm
the 1st positions back from takes. uh, if he pulls into doubt, uh, the worst contribution to nato and thus weakens its the turns power that put that on board and put it in. but, but this, you know, may not happen because he understands in my view, that this alliance has a purpose. and that if he wants to bring peace to europe, that has to be kind of scenario where russia is not involved. because otherwise let him and put him which has to go on with this will obviously x you, danielle, or schwartz are political analyst at the burdens foundation many, many thanks. again, thanks for having me. it's it's been a remarkable come back for time for you taking the white house 4 years after losing the presidency in 2020. this time you becomes america's president elect as a convicted felon with far reaching plans for america and the world. donald trump's 1st to him in office and new max remaining is departure mode by claims was sold in
4:14 pm
the election allegations that he stood up and in selection we will never give up. we will never can see that doesn't happen. don't get divided and stuff followed. as roy it is rampage through the us, capital still divides the america and sits at the hearts of a federal case against trump, who stands accused of illegally trying to over through the 2020 election results. when a full criminal case is still hanging over the americas new president select, as he heads back into the white house, particularly to federal cases, the idea would be that he would immediately and he's announced that he would take action immediately upon being returned to the office of the president, so in january 2025 dismissed the special prosecutor particularly mid january 6 case
4:15 pm
. so jack smith basically make these cases null and void, make them go away. trump has threatened to use the military against his political opponents. those he calls the enemy within the claims he'll be a dictator only on day one of his 2nd presidency, dismissing allegations from critics that he'll be in o 4 it's area. and american lead to say is that he's hitler. and then they say, he's a nazi about it, that i'm the opposite of a nazi. i don't know on the phone front, he's bound to build a lasting peace in the middle east describing himself as israel is protect, to just even boasted of being able to end the war in ukraine in 24 hours. and we have a very good relationship. and i also have a very good relationship as you know, with president and i think we went to get it resolved already. while
4:16 pm
back it's home, he's repeatedly told his supporters that he'll bring down price is an oversee a new economic boom in america, slashing taxes. and the energy costs and slipping huge tariff some phone impulse. we will rapidly defeat inflation and we will very simply make america affordable again, we're going to make it and when it comes to the southern border with mexico and the issue of immigration, he's pledge to finish his will and do this immediately upon taking the oath of office i will launch the largest deep port station program and then there's some unfinished business for trump, from his last term in office, something known as schedule that what donald trump administration and it's 2nd incarnation would like to do,
4:17 pm
is to really change into the depths of almost all american administrative organizations, the functionality of it's the functionality of american bureaucratic expertise and just filled out with id love. why? because of the 1st trump administration, he felt, and his advisors felt that a number of the policy initiatives and decisions he took work executed with the speed at acuity that he would have wanted. and that brings us that project 2025900 page manifesto from the us conservative think tank. the heritage foundation headlined by itself is some of whom used to work for trump as a blueprint for the next republican president. it's been described by critics as a threat to democracy. and donald trump and his campaign had repeatedly tried to distance themselves from it. i don't know what the hell it is. it's project already 5. he's involved in project. and then the read some of the things that are in by me
4:18 pm
this or is like straight. but i don't know anything about it. but despite the denials there appears to be overlap between trump official plans and the radical policy wish list. it's all proposals for mass people, tysons and the o behold up the justice departments as well as the rollback of l. g. b, t, q rights, and climate legislation. the democrats claim trump will implement the ultra conservative plan as presidents will find out if he does. after he's sworn in, come january the election result leaves the democrats in campbell or harris. searching for answers data suggest donald trump made gains with nearly every demographic group compared with his 2020 defeat, including 3 key ones that have previously been the bedrock of the democratic party, that's black, hispanic, and young voters. let's start with the young voters according to the associated press in 2020, about 6, out of 10 voted for bite, and that support for democrats went down harris scott about half the youth vote.
4:19 pm
it's a similar picture when you look back at the black voters, 9 in 10 black folders, cast their ballot for the democrats in 2020, with, kimberly harris as the candidate. that number went down to 8 in 10. finally, hispanic voters in 2020, the democrats got 6 out of 10 of their votes. this time 5 out of 10 voted for harris. william and blue cross is a us analyst and deputy editor for parliament magazine. he joins me now from brussels. so welcome, william. what do you make of this data? what i make of it is that it's quite reductionist. and for as long as democrats and posters and media organizations are going to keep running with these questions of the black vote or the latino vote, or the young voter and not dig into some more new watts there about. so it's your economics class education. a number of things that, that,
4:20 pm
that transcends these groups, right? what is the black folder or blue black photos or like all voters, they come from a variety of walks of life, latino voters, cubans vote differently than kind of recon folk, differently than mexican americans, etc, etc. the list goes on and on. so it's not enough to just say, well, we have the black book with us. what does that mean? um, and to that point, we see exactly that. yes, over all black americans are still voting heavily for democrats, but less so. and in these elections that are so close, all trump had to do, and we seem trump having a long history with this is just chip away. a couple of percentage points here. and there are women of people from various latino backgrounds and people from various black community backgrounds to get to the results that we saw today. let's digging deeper with this. i mean the math is pretty easy and is a trend here. we're talking
4:21 pm
a loss of roughly 10 percentage points from almost every traditionally democratic voting. blog keeping in mind that the nuance that you just reference there. how did that happen to i mean, trump has been saying this was much as it was going to happen. and he was right and, and we have seen this trend towards a more nuanced electorate that these traditional estimate groups and only viewing people as their ethnicity or their skin color and not bringing in. as i said, education class, these kinds of things is a big liability. for the democrats and they are going to need to really rethink what does diversity look like in america? because they've always gone on this assumption that democrats can win because the united states is getting more diverse. but exactly, to their point. democrats also want to see that diversity do well so, so i can honestly and as people do better, says reckoned on likely they might have changed their voting habits and vice versa . so democrats really have to rethink what exactly these various demographic group
4:22 pm
groups are, what they want. because it's not, it's a bit reduction step, not a bit offensive and patronize. you just say just because you are of a certain background or of a certain community. you will automatically sync a certain way. there's a much more, a nuanced, sort of political approach that the parties have to go after that. donald trump clearly was very successful at me. william, how do you explain that this was such a clear undisputed victory for trump? despite everyone expecting a drawn out neck and neck race where the outcome might not be clear for dates. all right, well everyone except the trump people, of course we should probably know. i mean there's a couple of things that play here. obviously posters have acknowledged. first of all, polls are more of an artist and a science posters have acknowledged it can be extremely difficult to get an accurate reading and accurate weighting of trump. voters of low prevents propensity voters. we've heard this term low propensity for for months. now people who don't tend to come out to vote that trump has been very good in getting out to vote. very hard to pull those people. and also polls have a margin of error and that can span 678 points on either side. so that helps
4:23 pm
explain that also. let's keep in mind that in 2020 joe biden, although he won, he didn't win by the margins at many. the polls in 2020, what say and so kind of the harris was going to have that much of an uphill battle to get to where she needs to go and see she didn't get there. you just talked about the low propensity voters, but there was another interesting figure that might help explain trump success. his support. among 1st time voters increased from 32 percent 4 years ago to a majority of 54 percent significant are very significant. and i think democrats and others need to ask themselves, why were people not boating? and now they're voted by what causes a person to want to come out. and so clearly trump has tapped into something, and he's been very effective. we've, we've known that he's very effective in getting people out to vote who might not ordinarily votes from a democratic perspective, almost in
4:24 pm
a paradoxical democratic perspective. small, do you not big the democrat? that's a good thing to get more people to vote at so. so that is something that i think democrats have to study very, very hard how to reach in the way that, that donald trump and republicans have been a very successful at to get these people off the proverbial cell site into the balance booth and for their interest to be voting for them, while the democrats in question this election cycle, pamela harris, had surely hoped for much more support from white women voters. anyone tracking her campaign you? abortion was at the center of it. why wasn't down enough? she did it exactly. she did well with women, of course she didn't do as well as many expected she didn't even do as well as by didn't did. there are many reasons for that. i think it's too soon to really speculate on what all the nuanced reasons work is. it's always more than one reason . and as i was saying earlier, women are a broad swash of the, of the country of voters. there half the population has many different reasons that
4:25 pm
someone might vote one way or another, more than just being a woman or what, what have you. and it just, it just wasn't enough, right? i said that earlier, as i said, donald trump chipped away at all of these groups at all levels of society at all corners of society. and regardless of what traction that have come on, hers might have made. it just wasn't. i know i'm really curious in your mind, william, if you had to pinpoint one specific issue, which i know might be impossible, but which issue decided the election for trump? and that is an impossible question. obviously, exit polls are showing that the economy, despite its macro economic strength, is being felt by many americans as having been as, as not working for them. and the fact is, the change candidate tends to win and the change candidate this time around and the change candidate for the last decade has been donald trump. 2020 was a bit of an outlier because of,
4:26 pm
of coven bite. and one that largely thanks to cove it for as as mccaul, but as that might sound and come on air. so is not the change candidate. americans are saying we want change so many people may not like the change that donald trump is offering. but nonetheless, it is change and that's what people want it for. a variety of reasons. our thanks to william glue croft in brussels as always william, always nice to hear from you by question. and a reminder of that top story, donald trump has quenched victory in the us presidential election. speaking to supporters in florida, trump promised what he called a new golden age for america. he went on to say that he had won an unprecedented and powerful mandate to govern. kimberly harris is expected to address for supporters in the coming out and we will and if they're up next we take a look at and you recycling plan for electric vehicle veterans. stay tuned for an eco indian. this is the w news from berlin. you can find lots more news on our
