the look now at the look toral college vote and again the magic number 270 for victory . trump has clinched the wind and is leading harris by account of 277 to 224. and she was how he did it by out performing harrison, every major swing state, trump winning the battleground, states of pennsylvania, wisconsin, north carolina, and georgia is also leading harris in michigan, nevada, and arizona. and here's a look at the balance of power in the us congress. republicans have one back control of the senate with 52 seats, but the fight for control of the house of representatives continues with republicans hoping to defend their razor. it's in majority. a dw corresponded benjamin alvarez group or joins us now from palm beach, florida. benjamin, the polls underestimated trump, and he's won

a clear victory. what do they saying and read, florida the dr. polls definite, the under estimated there was the taste campaign has been doing in several of those swing states. there was a lot of cheering going on. we, we spent election night in miami, with a lot of support is at a close to a restaurant school diverse, a restaurant with a lot of a cuban then a london americans the celebrating. so when the 1st and news came up that he will, north carolina, then georgia and they are the spring save in pennsylvania, of course more and most tacit a coming by with support has and with behind me, maybe you can see that more lago, that's donald trump, has mentioned here with several support does have also guided a 2 day said celebrating a, this wincing for more years and looking forward to what will happen in the us starting january 20th of next year. when don trump will take on the role of the

47th president of the united states, a benjamin, however, democrats processing their defeat of the. so we've been hearing from those that we're at howard university in washington dc. when they have the vice president come on, how is would not be addressing them today and hearing reactions today. there's a lot of soul searching happening now. and of course there will be analysis over the next couple of days. but the mistake swear, but it will look from the republican side and also the way they have been communicating it. it's also tied to one of the biggest things that is being pointed out, it to once the democrats and that's the camera. harris had no clear question when she was, i was asked what she would do different from a job. i know that's of course something were republicans, especially with the mog, a movement has been using over and over and over. it's using couple of hours of the phases of the point in administration. and that's a point where trump has been making a lot of gains, especially with a 1st time voters. when we look at the latino population,

it's really strong. also giving him a lot of support. also here in florida where they will celebrating until 5 a 6 am on the streets and we can expect that there will be also some movements later on here in morrow lager. and also close to the convention center, where donald trump gave it a speech saying that this is a new era for the united states. but looking at other reactions and also more cautious reactions, i was just listening into a press conference of the migrant and g o with the boy that they would visited recently one present by and went to brownsville, texas. and they said it today. we woke up to a new era and that's all the fee is when it comes to migration when it comes to a regular migrants here. and that's the key question now is from all of the promises that he made, what will happen it? because donald trump is set that on day one, who would stop it. and i quote, the biggest at mass deputation, competing in the history of this country. and of course, many people that are regular here. what time we were friends here,

a very concerned about that for a benjamin only about half a minute or so. but let's talk about his victory speech just for a moment would seem promising for the next 4 years. so he said that there's a new era that this country needs it to heal those. what his was, we also have heard from in the future of vice president of the united states, a events also several other figures. elan mosque was that that's a big question to many a asking what will be the key figures in this new administration? what role will they play? and that's what analysts see, that the raw, the radical part of this model of this make america great. again, movement will have the upper hand on this 2nd presidency of donald trump. and of course, it's a different world that a donald trump is seeing now. so many allies are looking to what to us, how we will confront them, dw, corresponding to benjamin alvarez group at there in florida. many things benjamin the electron result leaves the democrats in camel harris searching for answers.

data suggests donald trump made games with nearly every demographic group compared with his 2020 to feed, 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, after about 6 out of 10 voted for bite and that support for democrats went down. harris got about half the use of those. it's a similar picture when you look at black voters, 9 and 10 black voters cast their ballots for the democrats in 2020, with camelot harris asked the candidate that number went down to 8 in 10. finally, hispanic voters in 2020. the democrats got 6 out of 10 of their village. this time, 5 out of 10 voted for harris. william glue croft is a us analyst, and deputy editor for parliament magazine. he gave us his take on the numbers to

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 nuance, there. about socio economics class education. a number of things that, that, that transcends these groups, right. what is the black folder on the black photos are like all voters, they come from a variety of walks of why latino voters, cubans vote different, laid them 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 result 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 a loss of roughly 10 percentage points from almost every traditionally democratic voting. blog keeping in mind that the new wants 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 they're asking us to do your, 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 this assumption, the 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 reckon on likely they might have changed their voting habits and vice versa. so democrats really have to rethink what exactly these various demographic group groups are what they want. because it's not, it's a bit reduction. it's about a bit offensive and patronizing, 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 days? all right, well everyone except the trump people, of course we should probably note, i mean there's a couple things that play here. obviously, posters have acknowledged. first of all,

polls are more of an artist and a science pulses 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 hold have a margin of error. and that can span 678 points on either side. so that helps 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 she, 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. a very significant and i

think democrats and others need to ask themselves, why were people not voting, 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 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 very successful at to get these people off the proverbial cell site into the ballot booth and for their interest to be voting for them? well, the democrats in question this election cycle, campbell harris, had surely hoped for much more support from white women voters. anyone tracking her campaign, new 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 2 students who really speculate on what all the nuanced reasons work is 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 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 i come with, harris 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, of coven bite. and one that largely thanks to cove it for as as mccall, but as that might sound and come on airs has not been changed. canada americans are saying we want change so many people might not like the change that donald trump is offering. but nonetheless, it is change and that's what people wanted for a variety of reasons. our thanks to william good craft in brussels as always, william, always nice to hear from you. german transfer, all of charles has congratulated donald trump on his election when. but leaders here are wary of what a 2nd trump administration could mean for germany and your russia is full scale invasion of ukraine has made security a top priority,

and from threatened to leave nato during his 1st term in office. oh, wow. so i'm in positions, i congratulate him. donald trump, public in germany, shows that the public had held for when by cumberland harris. but the latest, we'll have a different partner to work with. the i'm of the kind of the kind of have them give you. americans have voted the trump clearly won the election, not to congratulate him on this president. trump, the president, trump take office at the time of great challenges and crises. fetus. things will certainly be different under it from administration. that's. that's the only example in the from this clog in our message is this. germany remains a reliable transatlantic partner. concept love to shop. we're aware of the contribution we make to this partnership. and we'll continue to make it in the future. hold on to come supplies. this also applies to the threat. it's got all need to all i believe russia poses to security in the u. s. on to area for these

this out in all of our mentors and home. dustin, both faithfully trumps. last time and office strength, bilateral relations united. now with uncertainty regarding from samsung, ukraine, the nato pressures mounting on jeremy and to europe, to strength from the security policy. yeah, all of them are going to europe and so now have to take on even more security policy responsibility if i'm missing today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. this is not a substitute for a transatlantic partnership. it is an investment in common transatlantic partnership. planters, a partner, soft vision of position, the definitely smith, who is the leading canada to the next test. them emphasized to us as role in the well but also still stronger europe that can meet the us as a partner on an equal level. for now, germany's offering is continued corporation to the us. well, some obtain usually pushing for a stronger most of or in europe. that's bringing

a familiar face around here, max hoffman had of dw news. max. good to see you. what more can you tell us about the reaction from the government and politicians across germany? you know, michael, i'm always trying to compare the reactions that we saw 8 years ago when trump got elected to his 1st term. and this time around there is a pretty significant difference. 8 years ago, there was a lot of surprise. i would even say there was a lot of shock uncertainty what to expect. and this time the reaction seemed to be much more calm and collected people. politicians know what's coming, they know what to expect, and of course you have the obligatory congratulations that you just saw. also partly in the report, and at the same time a call for action because germany needs to do something about the situation. it cannot mclee and also military,

that was the message that we were getting today. be more competitive, be more resilient, and they are their own weight when it comes to the military. as the german chancellor, the foreign minister, the finance minister, have all congratulated trump as is customary. but what are you hearing from behind close doors was germany expecting this hoping for this? give us some sense. well, he's safe to say that had accomplished harris one that would have been a signed release. i mean, we don't have any official polls from politicians who was in favor of comma, la harris or not, but it was pretty clear. what we did have, though, we're, some polls were just, you know, regular folks were asked if you had the right to vote in the united states. who would you board for combat harris or donald trump and kind of the harris. you know, she just, she just took the ballpark. basically there was one pole where she had 85 percent

of people say they would vote for her own only 15 percent for donald trump. i'm sure a couple of harris would have like a result like the in one or 2 swing states back in the states. um, but at the same time, you know, um, we heard a lot of realism today. people say that politicians saying economic meat are saying lobby a, say that the difference between the president campbell of harris, the president donald trump, wouldn't have been as stark as many people believe the us would have probably still gone into a mode where they are more you know i solution is where they are. more protection is also comedy that harris would have asked the europeans, and especially the germans, to do more for the military to spend more, to invest more into their own protection and not always be under the umbrella of the united states of america. so of course you know, everybody's realistic here,

the tone and probably the landing as a whole would have been softer, but still the germans would have had to act as well. it's that's ahead of the dw news max hoffman. thanks max moore. your opinion leaders have been congratulating donald trump hungry is far right, prime minister, victor, or bon, a close ally road, the biggest come back and us political history. congratulations for president donald trump on his enormous when a much needed victory for the world. here's the french president, manuel nicole, congratulations, president donald trump, ready to work together as we were able to do for for years. with your convictions and with my, with respect and ambition for more peace and prosperity. for more i can now talk to our correspondent in brussels. terry schultz. we just saw messages of congratulations from some of europe's leaders, terry. but despite their warmth,

art europe's politicians split over trump as they definitely are. and there would be a significant difference in the amount of genuine warmth between the 2 messages you just read. so certainly from victor or bon, he truly has a friendship with donald trump. they've each mentioned to each other continuously since trump announced that he'd be running for president. so that i would say is really a friendship. on the other hand, leaders like a manual quote and most other european leaders have a decent working relationship with donald trump. but issuing these messages, as a matter of protocol, they're all going to do it. they all are worried about their country's bilateral relationship with the united states. let's not forget how uh, president trump, in his 1st term, singled out angle americal, constantly for criticism, and nobody wants to be that you're in the middle of that bull's eye this time around. so they're all going to work very hard to foster a friendly relationship with him. now that he has been, you know, a elected again,

and it's something they're very worried about not only on the level of each country, but also on, of course, how he's going to handle his relationship with the european union and with nato. in fact, that's considered one of the reasons why mark roost at the former prime minister of the netherlands was chosen to be the nato secretary general, because he has a good working relationship with donald trump. there is no secret that in the halls of power across europe, there was fear of trump victory could re ignited trans atlantic. trade war is even called the e u a many china and threatened tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on imports from friends . info is a like, how we'll now is you fear of is looming, travel this year is certainly very real. we don't know yet if the trade war is going to come to pass. but as he mentioned, trump has threatened to impose its just across the board up to 20 percent of terrace on european imports. and that would cost of course,

american consumers. first of all, which trump doesn't always seem to recognize, but it definitely would hurt european did european economy in fact. and german authorities have already calculated that. if this comes to pass, germany could lose as much as a $180000000000.00 euros over the course of a 4 year trump term. so that's definitely something that your opinions want to avoid. at the same time, they don't want to take this line down and they've already said, you know, we've got our own arsenal of trained tools to, to unleash against the united states. should this come to pass? so one of the things we should remember is that during trumps 1st term, he imposed terrace on european aluminum and steel, which the bygone administration did not remove despite talks to do so. so those are still in place. now coming up in march this, this coming march 2 months into trump's new term, the european agreement not to impose retaliatory terrace for this 1st round comes up for review, so they will certainly be using that for leverage. terry trump, it's famously criticized nato. is the lines prepared for what may come ahead. as

you know, they've been talking about this for years. how to trump proves the alliance against claims that you know of, of donald trump, that he would withdrawn american support, possibly not show up for an article 5 mutual defense or an agreement if necessary. so they have taken some measures, most notably, his favorite topic defense spending as a time that trump took off as a 1st time only for allies spend the, the as aspirational, 2 percent of their d, v, p on defense. now it's $23.00 countries. so that will be an argument that need to definitely wants to use with donald trump. the other thing they've done is taken some of the ukraine assistance and put it under nato, instead of leaving it under the united states. should trump decide not to continue ukraine's assistance as he was threatened to do so, they are very worried about this. but again, mark, who's a considers that he has a good relationship with donald trump and he'll be trying to protect assistance to ukraine as well as support for the other 31 nato allies. oh,

thanks. as always to dw terry schultz in brussels. many thanks, always a and a reminder of our top story, donald trump is clinton victory in the us presidential electric. speaking to supporters in florida, trump promised worksheet called a new golden age for america, and said he had won an unprecedented and powerful mandate to govern. campbell harris is expected to a dresser of supporters in the coming hours. we're going to end things there of next. we take a closer look at unit in the grip of the lucy militia. this is dw news from berlin . you can find lots more news on our website, just go to dw dock. com. unlike a look for me and the rest of the news crew here in berlin, thanks for joining us. we'll be back with more news at the beginning of the next down the
