buyodou sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. >> welcome back to our extended coverage. i am shannon bream from its friday turns into saturday on the east coast vote counting continues in key battleground state that we've been waiting on for more than three days. our team across all of the country keeping you up you up-to-the-minute on all of the breaking news. we begin with correspondent jacqui heinrich live from wilmington, delaware, the latest from the adding campaign. we heard from the former vice president tonight, hey. >> good evening shannon. we heard from joe biden earlier tonight, it was not a declaration of victory, more of another projection of confidence. he touted you track for more

than 300 electoral votes the way the campaign season, also praised their historic record. if they believe they will get more than 74 million individual votes, more than any presidential ticket in history. but inside the numbers are clear, they tell a convincing story that americans want to come together over issues that matter instead of having more division. >> what is becoming clearer each hour is that record number of americans from all races, faiths, religions, chose change over more of the same. they've given us a mandate for action on covid to, the economy, climate change, systemic racism. they made it clear, they want the country to come together, not continue to pull apart. >> while the votes continued come in, he and senator harris are getting to work on issues like current affairs, mentioning the briefing he had with public health officials yesterday. sources tell me his transition team is already poised to tackle

three top issues, including coronavirus and how to reengage with global partners in the fight against the pandemic, also the economy, getting the stimulus moving, and some justice reform. we will move on to election night for poin 4.0. the feeling is the moment is really overdue. there were locals out here wondering if tonight would going to be the night, couple of hundred outside the perimeter were cheering for biters motorcade as it came in. occasionally, they did sound checks throughout the day as totals trickled in. joe biden was not going to come and claim victory until those numbers were there. sources tell me part of the reason is because he is superstitious, doesn't want to do that. the bigger reason, more importantly, is because he feels it's important that americans watch the democratic process play out. he's going to hold on until that is finished before claiming any sort of victory.

the one with all of the legal right leg, you will wonder how long it will be. we will stay tuned, we know you are as well, thank you. trump supporter's railing today outside of michigan, vote counting center in detroit echoing the sentiment that they want every legal vote counted. the very latest on this. good evening leland. >> good evening. what is between two camps is what defines were legal. bottom line first, the president and his team are ready to fight and say they won't go down without a fight. a president trump is in it for the long haul, sources telling fox news he has no intention of conceding. in the statement the president saying, this is about the integrity of urgent entire election process. we will pursue this through every aspect of the law to guarantee the american people have confidence in our government. there arguing varies, but every legal vote to be counted -- now centering the argument on which ballots may be illegal, and of

the trump campaign is starting off with proof of their claims of fraud. >> i will give you one example. a woman contact a funeral home, she went to the last 12 people who she buried, we found that he looked up one of the gentlemen, he registered to vote six days after he had been buried in the ground, and to vote in the election here in the state of pennsylvania. the code be charmed campaign has set up a hotline, but not all are republicans are on board with the president's philosophy. we want every vote counted, every legal vote of course, but if you have legit concerns about fraud, take it to court, stopped stomach stop spending, spreadingmisinformation. legal proceedings are just now beginning, as such a big lead only to see them lead to miraculously disappear as the days went by, perhaps these will return as her legal proceedings

move forward. shannon, i mentioned to you that when i talked to a source last night inside the trump campaign, he said "the president is going to win arizona pennsylvania." i asked him for comment today after joe biden's comments earlier, he simply wrote back, you just refer you to the president's statement earlier today, whether that's a change in tone or tenor, let the viewers be the judge. >> shannon: the president is not backing down, not giving up. we will stick with that and to follow it where it leads us. leland, thank you. tonight, supreme court justice samuel alito has gotten directly involved in the legal disputes in pennsylvania. accounting boards of elections were supposed to be segregating ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on election day and securely locking them down over the time being. at the fight over whether they should be counting continues. they asked for an emergency order. after it was unable to get at

least 25 of the county boards to confirm, they actually have been doing that with these votes. and of ordered every county election board in pennsylvania to segregate out and secure them for now. it the pennsylvania g.o.p. asks that the county boards ordered not to do anything further for the ballots like tally them. they did not address that in the emergency order, but did say he is referring for a request the full-court and asks the opposing side to file something no later than 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. we got it tonight. if they waste any time. they say there is no proof that they aren't complying, and they are opposed to this order, telling those county boards to do just that. we will keep you updated. we continue to monitor pennsylvania where joe biden fleet has expanded outside of the convention center in philly where coworkers continue to count ballots around the clock. both sides of the aisle trying to get what's happening. reporting live from philly, good evening. >> good evening shannon.

the crowds are gone, they left a couple of hours ago. they should be back tomorrow as long as that vote counting continues, and it does continue into the wee hours of the night. it goes on 24/7. as it continues, as they continue to count those mail-in ballots, former vice president biden's lead continues to grow. let's look at the numbers right now as to where they stand. 89,000 mail-in ballots remain to be counted in pennsylvania. at 21,000 in the city of philadelphia. plus, don't forget the military and oversee ballots, too, that aren't due until next week. it lection officials say we have a conclusion here, but some democrats are claiming a victory for biden. >> i think what the president needs to do is put his big boy pants on, he needs to acknowledge the fact that he lost, and he needs to congratulate the winner just as jimmy carter did, just as george h.w. bush did, and as al gore did.

>> why hasn't this race been called yet? it's been a couple of days since election day, and to the answer is, this race is just too close, and there's a lot of uncertainty over those male and ballots. at the trump campaign and republicans in the state are waging several different legal battles when they come into the c14, especially the 14,000 that were postmarked on election day but arrived to the voting centers three days later. up until today, the secretary of the commonwealth has said that those are allowed to be counted. if the trump campaign says the deadline extension was done unlawfully, and they don't want these ballots counted as he mentioned a short while ago. scotus has now ordered that all pennsylvania male and ballots received after 8:00 on election day should be segregated, put to the side, but also be secure. if they are counted, they must

be counted separately in a different pile. again, those biden supporters, they won every single one of those male and ballots counted. if they believe if they were counted, they will have one. they will be on this side of history, they will have elected the new president and put him in the white house. >> shannon: that whole case of whether those ballots after election day at 8:00 p.m., until now are going to count. that is going to be hashed out in the supreme court. we are all standing by. thank you for working around the clock, good to see you. georgia looks out for a recount to the presidential race, the peak state is also looking like ground zero and the struggle for control of the u.s. senate. as of right now, both of these senate seats will be determined by a runoff with neither republican incumbent adding more than 50% of the vote as would be required. let's get the latest from corresponded, live tonight in atlanta. hello steve.

sick of the political battles here in georgia a long way from over. at two new ones shaping up, those of the runoff ballots for both senate seats here in georgia. republican senator david purdue just hovered in the 50% mark. he's going to face a runoff battle against his 33-year-old opponent. he is campaigning on a platform of change. here is all soft. >> georgia has said enough. enough in con pittance. change as come to georgia. changes come to america. because the purdue campaign released the following stateme statement, he does two things while, for an out-of-state money and lose elections. georgia will get to watch him do it again. kennedy let butler against

democratic challenger raven raw frail or both places are scheduled for january 5th. after razor thin battle, georgia will have to face two more campaigns, two more months of political advertising and races they could determine who controls the senate. jenny, back to you. >> shannon: steve live in atlanta, thank you. we just got a another big data dump from maricopa county in arizona. it the president is still trailing joe biden, but it is narrowing. let's see what's happening in the grand canyon state. alisa green yes there live in phoenix. >> in maricopa county, election officials say they are on track to complete the accounts this weekend. you mentioned the new data dump, let's look at those numbers right now. in the state of arizona, the former vice president continues to lead president trump, it has narrowed just a bit, biden is now headed by just under 30,000 votes. here's what's left to be

counted. in maricopa county, it's approximately 92,000 ballots. in the entire state, it's 170,000. these are pictures of what's going on outside of the building where the count is underway in where we are standing. a pro-trump activists have been gathering here at the last three nights expressing their frustration with the results and the media, as we have been discussing since election night, there's a lot of anger being aimed at the decision desk for calling the state for biden on tuesday evening. fox news dance by the call. the other race being watched as the race for the senate. martha mcsally says she is waiting until the count is complete. she has not conceded at the time. as for the county process, workers must signature verified 100% of the early ballots, process them, then tabulates and if there's a question they have bipartisan -- they need to

validate and make sure every ballot is counted. folks are wondering out there why it's taking so long day after day, it's because they are trying to be as thorough as possible. as shannon, we are told that the next data dump that will come will be tomorrow morning, 11:00 a.m. eastern, 9:00 a.m. local. we will have that for you, shannon. >> shannon: thank you. the questions in washington tonight, how much longer will be republicans back the president if he loses all viable paths to victory and doesn't concede? political correspondent takes a look today. >> i'm not going to answer any hypotheticals about where we go from here. just go back home in kentucky, mitch mcconnell did not want to field questions about next steps in the presidential race. >> course we've had a peaceful transfer of power going back to 1792 every four years. we've moved on to a new administration. >> mcconnell was more expressive on twitter, reading,

every legal votes to be counted. any illegally submitted ballots must not be at all sides get to observe the process, courts are here to apply the laws and resolve disputes. his colleague from pennsylvania was much more blunt. >> the president's street was ss very disturbing, he made very serious allegations without evidence to support it. if it happens, the evidence needs to come out. because roy blunt offered a suggestion telling reporters, i think the president should turn this discussion over to his lawyers. it if they have a case to make, there's a process where they make that, and that process is timely. ted cruz expresses concern. to speak i'm more than a little frustrated that every time they close the doors and shut out the democratic votes. >> for leading republicans, there is the challenge of being lawyers of the present while also recognizing there could be

a new president. >> if joe biden is president of the united states, i will feel it upon me to help him where i can and find common ground. in terms of personal relationship, it's good bid i've known the vice president for a very long time. >> i'm here to stand with president trump yet he stood with me, he's the reason we are going to have the senate majority. >> most republican sound alisa t if he make tired of being asked constantly of the election while needing to pass government funding and negotiate a covert release package. th>> shannon: mike emanuel, where do the go from here? our panel our lives, next

♪ >> shannon: we have a presidential election still very much up in the air at this hour. counts continue in georgia, nevada, north carolina, and pennsylvania. let's bring back at tonight's political panel to discuss the state of the race. we welcome in law professor john. welcome all of you. >> thank you, shannon. >> as these legal battles are playing out, tom friedman with "the new york times" has this, and the 2,000 elections al gore took a bullet for the country, tonight trump put a bullet in the country. most shameful thing i've ever seen. a 37 day recount process only in places where he thought get additional votes for him.

if you doubt this, his lawyer wrote about it. john, these legal avenues are there, they are available to candidates who think they are winning or losing. that's what the courts are for. what do you make up for tonight to strike >> i think the president has a right to pursue whatever legal options are open to him. the most important thing, something al gore would've agreed with, was we should try to count every valid votes. we're not trying to count a legal votes, but we want to count every valid vote. they do that in a transparent way, if there are questions for potential fraud or abuse, you can go to the court to vindicate your rights. i think right now donald trump is much in the position that al gore was in 20 years ago, and ironically, joe biden is in the position -- now he's in the lead in the number of these states that george w. bush was in. biden is the one who's going to want the vote closed it down pretty soon. once it is certified, it's going

to be donald trump like al gore who wants to open up those votes and open the process to keep things going and get more votes counted. >> there's a number of rulings in courts across the country, including some stuff pending at the supreme court. they write this about a 2020 election lesson. he says, a conservative populist movement driven by rural voters was on the flute, the potential durable block. it donald trump by presiding over a rapidly diversifying country used his face to be competitive in most battleground states and to help republicans outperform in the race for congress. kevin, we noted how he was up with the black and hispanic voters to new highs for republican candidate. what potential trouble do you see on the rise for democrats? >> this is a very divided country. as a vice president and said, he gave a really consolatory speech, i think as he saw tonight in wilmington saying he will be the president of all americans, not just democrats, because i think he realizes just

how divided we are as a country and the fact that he really needs to unite this country. he also spoke about a mandate. right now, the popular vote stands at about 4.2 million more votes for joe biden. i do believe that is a mandate, i do believe he will get somewhere in the neighborhood of what donald trump received in the electoral college just four years ago when they said that was a mandate. obviously, he has the backing of american people, but he also needs to strike that kinsella's consolatory tone. they want to work with joe biden. i think you're going to see that tone play out in the next couple of days as we get a clearer picture of the selection. we want to both candidates hitting record highs in the vote totals. i want to play something that the former vice president said to bear to hear so he praised it tonight. >> they've given us a mandate for action on covid, the economy, climate change, systemic racism --

>> shannon: it's jason, what do you think about that mandate and how it may play out on capitol hill? >> he didn't even declare victory yet. he went there to supposedly declare victory, but he didn't declare victory. i don't know how you have a mandate before you even have a victory. come on, that's a little -- not a single republican in the house of representatives lost their seats i was running for reelection, not even one. despite promising she was going to gain seats, they said they're going to take over the united states senate, that hasn't happened. it too important senate states in georgia, but they didn't beat jimmy ernst or susan collins or steve daines. if they didn't be all of the people they said they're going to. republicans expanded their base with the minority community, donald trump, and republicans did great things. a look at the record number of women who were elected as republicans i in the house of

representatives. republicans had a good night. it's tough for donald trump, but republicans did well and they came to another seat in the governorship in montana, 27 governors of now republican in this country. >> shannon: and a number of straight legislatures, redistricting battle rules happened, democrats didn't slip control in those. in fact, they lost a couple. republicans will maintain the upper hand and some of those redistricting battles to come. because that's a really good point. sometimes we tend to focus over much on the presidency and the senate. what we forget is the genius of our country is made at the state and local level. you are right, the statehouse is not only state and republican controlled, but they slightly expanded their control not just of statehouses but both the governorship and the states. we are in the middle, where about to start one of the every ten years redistricting, the redrawing of congressional districts.

that something that is allowed republicans to have a really strong voice in the house to have been ten years ago. it looks like it's going to happen again today. democratic efforts to stop it have utterly failed. >> shannon: a final word to you, kevin, we got more for you to discuss coming up. >> i think on the redistricting front it's an interesting point. i think what you saw north carolina when the lines are drawn fair, democrats picked up two new congressional seats when the lines are very itching for a treat.

plus he chose not to blame her for her left colleagues, arguing the party can still accomplish an aggressive agenda projecting joe biden will take the oval office. because we've we blossom battles, but we won the war. we have the gavel. president-elect biden has a strong mandate to lead, and he will have a strong democratic house with him. >> aoc accused of socialist agenda is pushing back on criticism from colleagues, saying it wasn't defending police that hurt the party, she blames the poor strategy of the campaigns. in a flurry of tweets, she says, there are folks running around on tv blaming progressivism for underperformance. i was curious, so i decided to open the hood on struggling campaigns of candidates who are blaming progressives for their problems. almost all had awful execution on digital during a pandemic. andrew cuomo thinks he knows by democrats lost key races in the

empire state, blaming the mayor bill de blasio. >> they ran de blasio's picture all over the state. they turned new york state into new york city, looting, crime, homelessness. law and order. >> when fox news asked speaker pelosi if there is tension among democrats, he says they have a healthy difference of opinions, but not in any way problematic moving forward. >> shannon: one way to put it, thank you. supreme court justice samuel alito has gotten involved in the legalist disputes raging in pennsylvania, orting tonight every county election board must segregate and secure about set have been received after 8:00 p.m. on election day. let's talk about this order, what it means as we speak in the grounbattleground state. john as our legal eagle on a lot of these matters, let me start with you.

the pennsylvania g.o.p., this was something that was supposed to be happening for a secondary of state for pennsylvania had told all the county boards of elections, you have to segregate these ballots. there is a legal dispute about whether they are legit or not. folks thought, this is already happening. the pennsylvania g.o.p. came to the court today and said, you have to give us an order mandating this because we tried to confirm with the number of county boards, they say at least 25 of them would not confirm if they're actually doing this. where are we denying? >> this is a case that's been sitting at the supreme court since before the election, and the basic question is the state legislature said election day is the day which ads are due. the supreme court changed that date until today, three days later, friday. the constitution gives that power to state legislatures alone. at the constitutional question is, could this pennsylvania state courts move that deadline?

i think it's important that justice alito issue that order on behalf of the supreme court, otherwise the ballots would've gotten mixed in, supposed in the end they said, no, you can't extend election day a few more days, how would you actually remedy that if the ballots all got mixed together? it's important -- i think it's important that the court may intervene and checked on that extension. >> shannon: there've been so many state court -- estate issues that have come up to the nation's highest court in the last few weeks. some of them, one of them that was preserved until after the election, because it may or not be moved. some of the state decisions, they gave instructions, they weighed in. a lot of the language is state legislatures -- they have the rights to change election policies. in this case, when it was the pennsylvania supreme court that did it on the fly, a lot of people think there's a good strong legal argument regardless

of party that that was just not legit. >> i'm sure we will adjudicate this for sure. it just to be clear, it's not an extension of election day, it's a matter of when those mail ballots were postmarked by election day and when they are received. at this is not extending election day until today and the commonwealth of pennsylvania. it's a matter of when those mail and ballots were postmarked by election day whether they are going to count. we're going to see this adjudicated over the next couple of days. i think the biden campaign is out there saying that, we likely won't need those ballots. we won't need those provisional ballots. the margin will hopefully be as large as necessary to ensure a biden win in the commonwealth. >> shannon: justice alito said tonight, all county boards segregate these folks, if they do count them, count them separately. he added the scum of the application received today, the filing by the pennsylvania

g.o.p. says, informs the court that neither the applicant or the secretary has been able to verify that all boards are complying with the secretary's guidance, which it is alleged is not legally binding on them. they say they're already doing this, he says, we've been told not even the secretary of the commonwealth can confirm these people are doing it, and even if she had given them direction, they say it's not legally binding on them. it sounds like she felt the need to get involved tonight. this because this is always a worry that the supreme court won't actually stand up for themselves. at this order comes out on a friday after a tuesday election. i'm glad that it happened, but it probably should have happens before the election, not after the election. how do you go back and verify what happened over the last several days? they have not -- in the allegations in pennsylvania is that they have not been allowing people to watch, have not been allowing people t to go into the rooms in a bipartisan way and

have that oversight. how does justice alito and the supreme court actually enforce and order that they put forward? i think they are going to be fairly benign. i think it's going to be further disappointment in the legitimacy of the process if the supreme court won't actually stand up for themselves. >> shannon: i will say a few days ago before the election, this language was in some of the response from the supreme court, including what justice alito had written. it sound like they were under the impression that this was happening and being in force. unlike until tonight, justice alito said they didn't know that the order had changed from the secretary of state and wasn't being enforced. the g.o.p. in pennsylvania also asked about the boat be segregated, but also not be tallied or counted. he didn't go there, but he did say he's going to put the whole request before the full court. he asks the democrats to reply, they did tonight. it just a short time ago, they said there's no proof the boards aren't complying.

they are arguing against the order saying i have improved they are complying. sick i don't think that's a compelling argument against the need for an order. all this order does is maintains a status quo. what they're saying is, just don't change anything in case we want to hear this case. justice alito has been watching philadelphia and pennsylvania like a hawk for three or four weeks now. he is the one who has been trying to urge the court, as jason was just saying, to get involved before election day. i think chief justice roberts would all dominic dominic was hoping this would all be clear, but that did not pan out. it might be central to the resolution of the election, should the president keep georgia, arizona, or win nevada. pennsylvania will be the key state, the supreme court will be at the center of it. >> shannon: some of these pre-election legal wrangling psych out to the supreme court were not decided by all nine justices getting a vote, because amy coney barrett was not able

to weigh in. some of the justices where unhappy that these things were being rushed. she said she didn't have time to read it. if it ends up there, there will be nine to make this decision. thank you all. >> thank you shannon. >> shannon: will get the latest numbers tonight in these battleground states as they come in and update next.

♪ >> shannon: okay, let's check in on where we stand in the race to do sunday. let's do some ballot math, i'm not good with math. but leland is, he is here. that's why went to law school. they said in law school, there is no math. that's why did that. >> this is early morning math, which -- don't count on it at all. it's hard to compare from 24 hours ago. we look at the overall board as it stands after the electoral college race two to 70, exactly

the same place it wasn't has been for the past couple of days. biden at 264, president trump at 214. we will go day by state. pennsylvania, the biggest prize on the map, 20 electoral votes. in the past 24 hours, joe biden has pulled ahead of president trump, now leads by almost 29,000 votes with at least 100,000 votes still do count. where in pennsylvania they come from, will be key. nevada, joe biden has also gotten a larger lead on president trump there. did they continue to count in nevada, and also absentee -- and military ballots can come in much later in nevada and other states. we go to georgia, which still has not been called. this is a flip from last night, president trump was ahead yesterday at this time. and now, joe biden is the head. arizona is a place president trump has continued to close the gap against joe biden. a state-by-state in terms of who's counting, but there are

people who are counting all the way through the weekend. these will change quite literally hour by hour, overnight, and into tomorrow as well. >> shannon: yes they will. we are on it, a plus for your math. and nicely done. because that's the first a+ in math i've ever gotten, thank you. >> shannon: we all deserve one at some point. and q, lee lynch. at what point does one of the candidates concede or claim victory, and why is this all taking so long? let's bring back our panel. it jason, every state gets to figure out how they want to do this, that's how this works. why is it that some states make the decision -- for not going to start counting certain things until election days, others do it in advance. florida's new everything on election night. why is it taking so long? >> it's dependent on state legislature created the elections are executed by

counties, certified by states, but it's the state legislature who slowly sets the parameters on which this could happen. if you recall, couple of months before the election, the postal service sent a letter to 46 states saying our service level agreements are not going to be compliance with your loss. you have to look at your law. this set off a whole flurry of the discussions. you have a look florida, they fixed this in florida. they got it right. we knew the night of the election, one of the biggest dates we have. these other states give you a lot more pause and real? 's like in michigan and pennsylvania and others. you just wonder, why can't you get your act together like florida? >> shannon: we are laboratories of democracy, everyone figures it out on their own. >> this is under the constitution, states are in charge of the time, place, and manner of elections. if they are also the ones that

have the sole authority to decide what to elect presidential electors. this is an important feature of our federalism, states are allowed to experiment and try different things. that's why great solutions to our social problems usually bubble up from the states, and they can compete. maybe it's a little slower than everyone else, but we like it that way and pennsylvania. that they can do it if they want to be, as long as they finish and get the job done in the end under the supervision of the courts and with a lot of transparency. it's going all right, with a couple of automatic recount, at least we think will be automatic and others coming in quickly, when should someone concede and winston showed someone claim victory? >> when all of the votes are certified. it is easy to forget that all of this is happening in the midst of a pandemic. it's commendable to the american people as we talked about, the fact that president trump got 70 million votes, joe biden got

74 million votes, the biggest number for both republican and democratic candidates running, there's a lot of ballots that need to be counted, but the process should play out. this is a good thing for democracy and for republican and democratic parties. >> shannon: it will be interesting to see some of the covid related changes that were made -- repealed or rolled back. a lot of them are being challenged in court. 2024 is just around the corner, gentlemen. see you soon. kevin jason and john, thank you very much. how closely did evangelical voters stick with president trump on election day? we will break down those numbers, next.

>> shannon: huge part of the president's upset win over hillary clinton in 2016 was the overwhelming amount of support from white to evangelical voters, how do the numbers to such a vital voting block shape of this time around? >> many cast their ballots in 2020 and the pollsters and pundits in the aftermath carefully examined the evangelical vote. white evangelicals have been donald trump's saving grace insuring his victory in 2016 with 77% voting for him. according to a fox news voter analysis, trump increased to

share in 2020. 81% of the white evangelical vote, joe biden 17%. he did well with white catholics at 57-42%. but it did not guarantee him the victory in 2016. several battleground states have yet to tally the vote. they're cautiously optimistic. >> we have to wait to the votes are counted but we think that every legally cast ballot is counted. he will ultimately prevail. to speak of the election too close to call, liberal faith groups like both common good are claiming their efforts in battleground states have helped prove in the number of evangelicals to vote for biden. >> we asked them to rate each of the candidates on christian virtues and vices. if a voter think donald trump is profoundly unkind and unable to complete his job because of his unkindness, there was a 80% chance of they were not going to
