on the welcome to the program democratic candidate joe biden has won the u.s. presidential election after sealing victory in the battleground state of pennsylvania of the 99 percent of votes counted and sylvania biden won 49.7 percent and trump won 49.2 the 20 electoral votes biden takes home in the state allowed him to surpass the 270 needed to win the election according to projections by the associated press he also picked up 6 and nevada giving him a total of $290.00 electoral votes to republican president donald trump's $214.00. democratic supporters across the country have been reacting to the news of president elect by success from philadelphia to black lives matter plaza in washington to new york times square people didn't want to hide their relief and excitement let's take a look at those reactions. to me me every time my mother is a disabled woman who goes directly to medicaid and medicare and said no a day. out and you can no longer mess with those programs is the thing we was was having. you believe that i was dead right i didn't was best for the unit

that's the direction he ran getting people to the polls, attacking joe biden personally, attacking joe personally. you might remember a few days ago it was a huge national security risk that hunter biden existed. we seem to have, the republicans pounding that seem to have forgotten that. >> my guess is it will come back. >> there will be hearings. >> joe biden did survive a general election in which the kitchen sink was thrown at him by this president. and the counter argument to the devil's advocate argument i gave earlier is that joe biden not only got through the democratic primary arguing that he could bring the country together, he got through a general election. if pennsylvania goes his way, he might be president-elect having won narrowly or not on that message. so maybe that is proof that it is a message that, a, the american people want, and b, that it is something that might be able to work because a win is a win. if you win, that's it. >> one other personal note on joe biden when i prepared to interview jill biden who may be possibly the next first lady of the country, she wr

if you put that into joe biden's column today, joe biden gets 273 and he wins pennsylvania.f you put it into donald trump's column today, donald trump gets 234. so donald trump has to get pennsylvania. then he's got to get georgia, then he's got to get north carolina. then he's got to get alaska. still doesn't have 268. he has to get nevada or arizona. so that is just the math. if you look at the paths to victory, let's just go back on this for a second and look at the paths to victory. as we stand right now with the uncalled states, joe biden has nine combinations that get him to 270 and donald trump has three. there is one combination that gets us to a tie and then it goes to the house of representatives. in a couple of states right now, i would say that because pennsylvania is as important as it is, all eyes are on it right now. we have 96% of the vote in. joe biden's lead is 14,541. there is confusion about what remains out standing in pennsylvania. there are two buckets of votes not counted. the mail-in ballots are mostly counted. now i don't know what mostly means. i d

but home is the metaphor for joe biden i would think today. and that's what he wants to do with the country, with the united states of america is to bring all of us home. i'm sure right now in the biden household as they prepare to travel to the convention center or the hotel wherever the speech is going to take place, there are tears, lots of tears because the entire family is gathered there. and there are tears of humility, which is really critical in terms of dealing with what's going on in this country right now. we've been talking an awful lot over the past 3 1/2 years and certainly over the past weeks about living in a divided nation, and there's no getting around it. we are a divided country. but there's a cause for this. there's a reason for this. and one of the biggest reasons is that every single day, every single hour of nearly every single day for the last 3 1/2 years we have been led by a president we has gone out of his way to create division in this country. so it's going to be interesting to see what happens when you have joseph

but it brings out something else that has struck me about not just joe biden, but joe and jill biden and knowing them over the years. joe biden received the first brzezinski award after the passing of my father for a million reasons, but the one i looked to is how grounded they are. when you meet joe and jill biden, you do not look at them and see the seitz and sounds of people who are creatures of washington. you see scrantoning you see wilmington, people that are just like you and me, and that's everybody. they're people that never got changed by washington, and grounded by that hardship. instead of broken by it, grounded by it, and god bless them, they want to go back to washington after serving there for decades and then those eight years serving under president barack obama. a lot of people after something like that, they'd want to go home, get a break. nope. joe biden wants to go back and serve. >> more news outlets calling this race saying it is over. the "washington post" declaring right now joe biden projected to be the nation's 46th president, elected to lead a divided coun

we don't know exactly who was with joe biden right now. something else that we know the biden team has been doing is watching president trump very closely. when the president spoke last night we got a text message from a biden official who said this. he said the president's remarks were desperate, baseless and a sure sign he knows he is losing. something else that is notable about this development normally when you are at a campaign hq for a candidate and there is a development like this, there is a tv screen with a broadcast and a huge reaction. you see something or you hear something. but none of that here because of the hour and because of covid-19 considerations and nobody here right now. if they decide for him to spoke right now it's all quiet still in wilmington. >> trace: who would you hear from first, peter? give us a timeline here. if the former vice president plans to come out, how does that get to you? >> that's a great question. the campaign has been hosting a conference call where they walk us through their confident prediction

what is joe biden hiding?l not rest until the american people have the vote count they deserve in that democracy demands. president trump was photographed by the associated press today, as you can see, golfing at his private club in virginia when the news broke of joe biden's win. we wantnight's remarks, to hear from you, we will take your calls, reading your tweets, and looking at any updated result that may come in tonight as the tally continues in alaska, north carolina, enjoy job. you can follow all the results from across the country at avenue our website, c-span.org/election -- at our website, c-span.org/election. live coverages, right here on c-span. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers] [laughter] ♪ [cheers] [laughter] [cheers] ♪ ♪ [cheers] ♪ [cheers] ♪ >> we love you, joe! we love you, joe! yeah! ♪ [cheers] [honking] ♪ [honking] [cheers] [honking] [honking] [cheers] >> let's go!

how does joe biden deal with that? it's not clear. the problem for biden is that this is four years in making of grievance from the president about the impeachment, about the russia investigation that's manifesting itself. >> more than that. it's about how nobody thought he was going to win and all that. let's go to wilington, delaware. i know that a lot of people in the biden campaign thought that major news organizations were going to have called some sort of permutation of states so he would be president-elect right now and the data crunchers have not made those determinations yet. is he still planning on speaking this evening? >> reporter: that is one of the key questions about tonight. his campaign had announced that it was expected that joe biden and his running mate kamala harris would be delivering some type of primetime remarks this evening but the question still remains whether or not that is going to happen if the race has not been called at this moment. biden's campaign is closely watching those results that are coming in t

on the go for a while come to the program democratic presidential candidate joe biden has won the u.s. presidential election after sealing victory in the battleground state of pennsylvania of the 99 percent of votes counted in pennsylvania biden won 49.7 percent on the other hand 49.2 the 20 electoral votes takes home in the state allowed him to surpass the 270 needed to win the election the courting to projections by the associated press he also picked up 6 and nevada giving him a total of 290 electoral votes to republican president donald trump's 214. democratic supporters across the country have been reacting to the news of president elect biden success from philadelphia to black lives matter plaza and washington to new york's times square people didn't want to hide their relief and excitement any longer let's take a look at those reactions. to me me everything my mother is a disabled woman who called those security medicaid and medicare and said no they. outfit and you can no longer mess with those programs and me saying we were there was having a hard to believe that our our debt

and joe biden $74000000.00 so it was close and so now it's up to joe biden as president to bring everyone together and now we get to see how he goes about doing that i mean yes people like to make comparisons to 2016 but let's be clear when trump was running against hillary clinton both of them had extremely low favor ability. people like joe biden and so he's going to have to use his character people voted for that and run take stay true to his platform to move the country forward so do you think that that likability as you call it is going to be something that will allow them allow him to reach across the aisle to republicans and to trump voters you know who are very badly wanted to see donald trump win this election and become president for a 2nd term we see we'll see i hope so i think that character matters and the fact that he made fun of joe biden this whole election talking about how he's been in congress for 40 years but you make connections with people and most people on either side of the aisle say the joe biden is a man who you he stands by his word he's a man of strong charact

this day, and we see the trade favours joe biden and this day, and we see thehe debate right 110w seems to be the debate right now for this. thank you for all that detail. while, we are all learning more than we thought we would about how these counts work, are we? but those two numbers. 0.2% is what he is ahead of at the moment, joe biden 0.5% of the votes were donald trump wanted by last time, do not expect the networks to make any call before we have it be 0.5% of the vote. barbara plett usher is atjoe biden‘s headquarters in wilmington, delaware joe biden his campaign said they would have an international address —— national address, and probably proclaim victory, as the frustration that that is not the position they are in? they caught the lid, which meant that we were not expecting anything more from the white house tonight. the joe anything more from the white house tonight. thejoe biden campaign has not called it lid to we're not quite sure what to expect, because expressing to the nation, which begins less than an hour, they were expecting that the rat

one warning sign for joe biden. watch this play out. 4.6 million votes is what it took to win it four years ago. we think turnout is higher this year. if you are looking for trouble signs in the biden campaign it's here in miami-dade. more votes. this is early in-person voting. people who showed up to vote in person early before election day. joe biden with a very narrow lead. that's a nine-point lead b but narrow by comparison to where we were four years ago. >> biden just took the lead in florida again. it's moving very quickly back and forth. >> let's come back and see where it came from. 134,000 votes. may they are reporting very quickly in florida. >> two-thirds of the vote is in. >> a big jump in palm beach county. 60% to 39%. remember, short time ago, the president was ahead there. only a few hundred votes. 60% there. especially if joe biden is underperforming in miami-dade. we'll check on it in a second. if he's underperforming there he has to make it up somewhere else. you look at palm beach county here. 60%

well joe biden as a worse record than donald trump joe biden was for the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i get joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim record refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bothered to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record to head out of trouble is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't stand

here joe biden coming out says he set off an evening in which no statement came out of the campaign joe biden drove up in his motorcade behind me to the convention center ways can't pay news based got out then made that short statement he said on at least 3 occasions there we feel good about where we said we are optimistic about where we are biden calling on his supporters to be patient making very clear that it will take a while for all these results to fall into place however adamant that arizona will go his way adamant as well that there's a strong likelihood of wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania but these 3 states very clearly the result is going to take a while possibly not even in the early morning maybe even later but pennsylvania for example is only beginning to count the mail in vote it has of toll friday to count those particular votes so certainly this is a long drawn out process joe biden appearing here at his campaign headquarters here early to call on his supporters for patience but at the same time. giving to support to keep the faith he says keep the for. as you can

to celebrate joe biden. hello i'm barbara sarah this is al jazeera live from london it's just after 21 g.m.t. and there's only really one major story right now joe biden has been declared president elect of the united states it follows more than 4 days of painstaking ballot counting in a handful of swing states as counting continued biden overtook donald trump in pencil the.

ilia: en nevada joe biden y es una ligera ventaja. zona biden mantiene la ventaja, el conteo con 65.000 votos. ilia: el presidente trump ccontinÚa con ventaja con 75.000 votos. jorge: marcha por delante de biden en georgia con 9000 votos. ilia: la campaÑa del presidente trump ha respondido al avance de joe biden con avance legal. jorge: el presidente donald trump desde twitter despliega ofensiva intensa para sembrar dudas sobre legitimidad de conteo de votos. vamos a washington con jeanette rodrÍguez. reportera: desafiante en la sala de prensa de la casa blanca, se presentÓ y sin evidencia dijo que los demÓcratas estÁn tratando de robar las elecciones, que hay fraude electoral, que es una maravilla cÓmo ahora cuando estÁn contando las boletas por correo estÁn desapareciendo los votos a su favor. una vez mÁs no presenta evidencia de lo que estÁ diciendo. dijo tambiÉn que pensilvania, especÍficamente en la ciudad de detroit no deberÍa ser importantes y cruciales en este conteo de votos, porque allÍ hay corrupciÓn electoral. nuevamente, s

to talk about joe biden, joe biden can do it with nevada and arizona. the president is at 268, joe biden at 270. george, we've been doing this for three days now. it tells the story. joe biden has more paths. the president has a very narrow path to victory. as more votes are coming in, that path gets narrower. >> more votes are coming in from the state of arizona. let's get those from whit johnson. >> reporter: george, we're looking at the numbers from maricopa county, the most populated county in the state. donald trump is chipping away at joe biden's lead. biden statewide up by about 43,000 votes. he was at 47,000 votes 20 minutes ago. statewide biden is leading 50% to 48.6%. there's still resultis tricklin in. around 200,000 outstanding ballots still statewide. once again, the margin shrinking, but just a little bit. if you look at what's left of the remaining ballots, president trump needs about 60%, maybe even more, to be able to overtake joe biden down this final stretch. we're still trying to look and see what's outstanding in pima county, it gen

and china going to change under president joe biden? well, biden campaign in the biden camp has put it, you know, donald trump has been tough on china, and joe biden is going to be tough but effective. he is going to continue to confront china where it needs to be confronted, such as on its unfair trade practices. and that's where the terrorists came in. because these terrorists, who were in retaliation for china's unfair trade practices, when it came to forced technology transfers or cyber theft or not protecting intellectual property rights, will continue to confront them there. but he will also cooperate with them on things like climate change and pandemic. and then he's going to compete with china, he's not going to cede the development agenda in asia to the road initiative, but you're going to see more engagement and more funds coming in to the region from the united states. so it is going to be a much different dynamic for china, and i think you are going to have a much more effective approach to china and that is going to force ch

no matter how this race ends, i'm proud of joe biden. joe and jill biden retreated to the big bathroom upstairs in their delaware home to sort through the loss. for a proud man, long driven by a belief that god had a special plan for his life, the latest humiliation was shattering. sensing her husband's pain, jill told joe, it's hard to smile. i know he replied, but biden characteristically did his best to look forward while speaking of better days ahead. richard ben cramer's classic work on the 1988 presidential campaign, what it takes, the way to the white house, movingly described how joe biden's departure from that contest would be followed by even more harrowing events in the coming months. in february of 1988, biden would suffer a brain aneurysm and find himself at the walter reed army medical center where his doctor told the senator that his chance of survival was less than half. even if biden lived, the doctor continued, a long list of physical and mental limitations were likely. 15 years after losing their mother and sister in a

joe biden joe biden and the democratic party driven by the radical left to take our nation joe biden -- says we're in for a long, dark winter. but under president donald trump, we know the best days are yet to come. cheers and applause] i have three things i'm going ask you to do and then i'm going to let you get in from the cold. give yourselves another round of applause. i got to tell you, this is the hard esty bunch -- [indiscernible] [cheers and applause] y'all are awesome. first and foremost, before the polls close tomorrow, if you haven't done so already, we need you to vote, pennsylvania, vote to re-elect president donald trump four more years! [cheers and applause] crowd: four more years! four more years! four more years! i actually check -- vice president pence: i actually checked on the way here. you can drop off your ballot, if you haven't, before the day so every. and then go work the polls tomorrow. [applause] if you don't know where, you can go to westmoreland county election bureau, 2 north main street, suite 109, in greensburg, and remember, friends don't let friends

that could put joe biden over the top. terms of electoral votes at this moment, joe biden has 253. the president has 213. biden is potentially one state, or in this case, one commonwealth away from the magic number. and that is where we begin with a cnn key race alert. >> it is the commonwealth of pennsylvania with 20 electoral votes that could put joe biden over the top. if he wins that, he wins the election. currently he leads by 28,000 votes. that number has been growing. tens of thousands of votes remaining. many of them from heavily democratic areas. we're expecting some information from pennsylvania soon. and some new votes to report to you soon. other states we're watching, georgia, overnight, joe biden's lead grew from 4,000 to more than 7,000. doesn't sound like a lot. each vote counts. 16 electoral votes up for grabs. they don't have much left to count there. that state going to a recount for sure. let's talk about arizona, 11 electoral votes. joe biden's lead there has been shrinking. he now has a 29,000 vote lea

i know that you have supported joe biden from the get go. so on the emotional level i'm, i'm sure it feels right, but when it comes to you american law, due process, the american republic,, which requires some semblance of neutrality, g.c., that's actually a sign of respect. the election's over, there's a, in the united states, we have a tradition that when it is clear who's going to win, because they have the majority of votes that are needed for any office and for president, it's the majority of the electoral college votes. even though there are still some technical things that have to do, there are, in some key states have to certify the elections. the certification often doesn't happen for weeks after the election. and yet on election night, you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. so there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes. it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up. that

joe biden is ahead. the trajectory is in joe biden's way. the votes here, we should count the votes there. we'll get to a landing place and count the votes. >> and sarri murray is in philadelphia for us. what are you seeing, hearing? >> well, wolf, we did just get an update from the secretary of state, and she said, you know, even though this count is going slow in pennsylvania, they are expecting to get hundreds of thousands more votes totalled tonight and in the overnight hours, and look, we know that in just here in philadelphia county that they have been working 24/7, they are counting all hours of the day. that's true of a lot of big counties across pennsylvania. we are getting these numbers rolling in county by county. there haven't been any major issues that have been arising. it takes a while. it's a lot of mail-in votes, the first time they're grappling with the number of mail-in votes, and that's why the secretary of state offered this word of caution tonight. she said even though we're going to continue to get these numbers rollin

some of them, the jeb bushes, the mitt romneys, they are congratulating joe biden. but others saying wait until the votes are counted. the networks don't call these races. if you are the biden campaign, though, as soon as the network started calling these races, that was it for them. >> joe biden's got a 4-million-vote lead right now. ali vitali for us in wilmington, delaware. my control room will keep showing you these pictures. wilmington, washington, philadelphia, new york. people have left their houses and gathered in the streets in celebration. including in south carolina, joining me now is house majority whip, this is times square you are looking at by the way, jim clyburn. jim clyburn is the man who threw his support behind joe biden. he became the democratic nominee. jim clyburn, you, along with your endorsement, brought a lot of african-american support to -- to joe biden, to which he referred to many times. he said they brought me to the dance. he chose an african-american woman as his running mate. and now, hibstory has been made. kamala harris will join j

the president's lead over joe biden has shrunk once again. ia right now. we will watch it. in pennsylvania, the president's lead is 184,000 plus 58.8% to 47.9%, 20 electoral votes in pennsylvania. 88% of the estimated vote is in. in arizona right now joe biden's lead is just under 80,000, 84% of the vote is in. biden with 50.7%, 47.9% for trump. in nevada right now, 86% of the vote is in. biden maintains his lead of about 7,600 votes. 49.3% to 48.7%. six electoral votes in nevada. let's go over to john king. he is watching all of these races for us very closely. what is jumping out at you, pennsylvania right now? >> pennsylvania is one. i was looking at the commonwealth of pennsylvania. again, we have several states where things are trending, right. president trump's lead right now 184,397, 88% in. we are waiting. the biggest thing we are waiting for is right here, this is the largest county in the state, population center, 67 of them in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, philadelphia is the largest vote center and waiting. 70% right there and

world leaders are congratulating joe biden on his victory in the u.s. presidential race. they include israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. mr. netanyahu says he's known biden for decades but is also thanking biden's rival president donald trump. >> translator: i have a personal, warm and long relationship with joe biden for more than 40 years and i know him as a great friend of israel. i am sure we will continue to work with both of them to strengthen the alliance between israel and the united states. on my behalf and the behalf of all the citizens of israel, i thank president trump for the great friendship he has shown the state of israel and me personally. >> and cnn's nic robertson joins us now live from london. good to see you nic. we heard from the israeli leader. many other leaders were speaking out as well. for the most part there appears to have been a collective global sigh of relief in response to the election of joe biden. what's being said about it? >> reporter: really this idea that the united states can go back to being a multilateralist, non-isolationi

joe biden says we are in for a long, dark winter.] but under president donald trump , we know the best days are yet to come. [cheers and applause] so, men and women, i have three things i want to ask you to do than i will let you get in from the cold. give yourselves another round of applause. i have to tell you, this is the heartiest bunch. [applause] you all are awesome. first and foremost, before the polls closed tomorrow, if you haven't done so already, we need ,ou to vote pennsylvania! vote to reelect president trump for four more years! >> [crowd chanting, "four more years!"] i actually checked on the way here, you can actually drop off your ballot if you have it before the day is over, and then going work the polls tomorrow. and if you don't know where you go, you go to the westmoreland county election bureau 2 north main street, suite 109, in greensburg. and remember, friends don't let friends vote on loan. bring a family member, bringing neighbor, bring a coworker, and vote to reelect president donald trump for four more yea

13.000 votos ahora georgia 16 votos electorales y joe biden tambiÉn una ventaja de 150 votos, nevadaahora tiene una ventaja de unos 20 mil votos. >>> tambiÉn estamos a la espera de arizona donde joe biden tambiÉn tiene una ventaja, de 39 mil votos y carolina del norte aquÍ el presidente donald trump estÁ por atlante con 76 mil votos mÁs o menos aquÍ tenemos el balance del poder en el senado los demÓcratas cuentan con 48 representantes, contra 48 republicanos, los demÓcratas lograron ganarse un escaÑo en arizona. y el presidente donald trump ha vuelto a manifestar su pensamiento sobre estas elecciones centrado en el recuento del votos y lo ha hecho con una declaraciÓn sobre la transparencia de proceso, francisco nos amplÍa lo dicho por trump, muy buenas tardes. >>> quÉ tal nicole asÍ es los ojos del mundo estÁn aquÍ en la casa blanca y no es para menos, el presidente estÁ enojado por la voltereta que le han dado en pennsylvania y ademÁs hace unos minutos en un comunicado dijo que no se trata solamente de una elecciÓn sino defender un proceso electoral esto refiriÉndose a sus constante

joe biden is now in striking distance. lead where it's now down to 56,833. does it put the president in striking distance? it depends. so when we get the next big installment of votes from maricopa county, he's saying we could get as many as 100,000. that could tell us a lot. they're getting closer to the finish line now. if you get 100,000 votes out of here, the big question will be, you know, are we at 51 for joe biden in the county after? is that going up or down? this will determine the trend line here will determine the rest of the state. now you see, you know, there is a lot of red for the president here. much more when you come through them by county, you know, 99%. 88,000, so you're just about done here. 88,000 to win it. you come down here, just to remind you of the difference. 912,000. so we're just talking about night and day when it comes to the size of the population. 60% of the vote is going to come out of here in phoenix in the suburbs. the next biggest is pima county here. this is the scheduled largest count

joe biden chipping away slowly at president trump's lead. re still votes outstanding in georgia. 61,000. similar situation in pennsylvania. the biden campaign is hoping its narrow lead holds in arizona and nevada. as you can see there. pennsylvania what they're looking at so carefully you see that's the widest margin in favor of trump right now. but it's also where you have the most votes still outstanding. about 700,000 of them. so we have jessica dean in wilmington, delaware covering the biden campaign. and caitlyn collins is in washington covering the trump campaign. caitlyn i want to start with you, as we are watching the numbers narrow and we are going to know more today, you have new reporting on just how trump and his aides see the path to 270 and how his aides see it is not the same as how the president sees it. >> reporter: they realize that path is getting a lot smaller by the day as the numbers are coming in. they feel good about what happened overnight in arizona. but increasingly what i'm hearing privately from campaign officials

to new york welcoming the news of joe biden's victory by kalar takes a look at biden's road to the white house. it was joe biden's eldest son who nominated him as the vice president and now you mr chairman it's my great honor to place into nomination for the office of vice president of united states my father my hero joe biden. less than 3 years later both biden died of cancer. it's another personal tragedy for a man who had experienced the death of his 1st wife and infant daughter in a car crash in 1702 but it has been a life of many triumphs as well perhaps none great to this tribute from his commander in chief for the final time as president i'm pleased to award our nation's highest civilian honor. the presidential medal of freedom. thank you. hi. still mourning the death of his son biden did not contest the democratic party nomination in 2016 but after a slow start easily secured the party's support this year and in his acceptance address gave notice a better and kind of country to come. we have a great purpose as a nation to open the doors of opportunity for all americans to save ou

president elect joe biden gave his victory speech he also had of course from there she is with members of her family looking very glamorous in that cream suit joe let's start with vice president elect's. very very interesting speech from her very inspiring. many people from immigrant background. in the indian mother who arrived in the u.s. at the age of 19 what do you think her election is going to mean to the many minorities that make up the u.s. . well it was just an incredibly inspiring speech i just want to say to my fellow americans we look forward in the democratic party to being a party and administration for all americans and i'm personally i'm i'm the son of an immigrant i'm married to an immigrant my daughter is a daughter and grand daughter immigrants and it's just so amazing to to be able to see somebody like that up on stage just last week. i was going to say senator harris but rice president elect harris came to tucson and had a rally and i brought my daughter to the rally my daughter. wearing her girl scouts uniform and we got called up to the reception of mine after the

joe biden's idea of good economy is when all of us are doing well. harris: quick reaction to that and i have a fast follow, tim. tim: the biden economy was stagnant, wage growth was stagnant. when president trump took over the economy skyrocketed, wage growth for the bottom half of wage earners rose faster than those at the top of the scale and the president, we just saw it the other day record gdp growth, the biggest record growth in one quarter in american history. the obama-biden record, it took them 30 months to gain back half of the jobs lost in the recession. the president got more than half of the jobs back in less than 6 -- >> harris: all right. tim: they can't revive history and claim something that it wasn't. we all lived through the obama years, we know what was happening there. it was stagnant and the president is the one who lit the fuse. harris: i heard president and former president talk about recreation in 3 years and real quickly -- hold on. the president doesn't seem to be on the same page with mitch mcconnell and you can't get a cor

that alone would get joe biden to 273 and just a reminder, joe biden leads here, joe biden leads hereads here. so joe biden has the potential to get to 306 electoral college votes and that's exactly the total president trump won four years ago. again, to be careful, we're going to continue to count the votes and respect the process, but what you see right now the trajectory in pennsylvania joe biden narrowed it, narrowed it, narrowed it, now he has overtaken the president and we expect that lead to grow in the hours ahead, same thing happened overnight here in georgia, joe biden's lead they count the mail-in ballots, he eclipsed the ballot. we have some counting to do. the president has narrowed the lead in arizona. we will continue to count votes throughout the day. do not understate this moment, that one blue, this one blue, the president cannot win reelection without both of those states. they have now flipped to joe biden. they are blue, the trajectory of this race has turned in a decisive way. >> i want to check in with david chali chalian. biden has taken the lead in pennsylvani

how president obama was with joe biden how he had him be the last person he spoke to when he was making big decisions how obama charged biden with helping with the with leading the trussing and of course when you get more experience and you have more of that leadership it prepares you for the next step so we'll get through biden 1st and then and then we'll see will happen with kamel harris a little bit on the future of the democratic party with stacy bevan's but i want to bring it back to sue me now to ask about the other side of the coin in the future of the republican party what do you think is going to happen there after trump's projected defeat are they going to stick with with donald trump. that is very hard to say at this point you know that we have to keep in mind that even if president trump accepts the defeat and moves on that they were public and party has been for ever change you know president might no longer be there but trump isn't so what he has brought to the republican party is there to stay and his supporters are still the vast majority of republicans still support him

joe biden overnight took a lead. otes in georgia and nevada. that vote remains at 11,438. that margin for biden, in pennsylvania, donald trump remains in the lead, although that lead has been winnowed down to 18,000 with more than 100,000 ballots outstanding. and then in arizona, 47,052 votes are the margin right now for joe biden let's check in with our campaign reporters to see what the status is of the biden and trump campaigns. let's start with jeff zeleny in wilmington, delaware, for us right now with the biden campaign. jeff, tell us the latest. what is the strategy for the biden team today? >> jake, good morning. the biden campaign, of course, is waking up to watching these results, just the same as everyone else is. but they are doing something different. they took note of the president's dire tone last evening in the white house and they are beginning to mount a different type of campaign here at the end of this race. and that is to reach out to old friends from the senate, all allies from a lifetime in publi

he wants to know, has joe biden called republicans, has joe biden called mitch mcconnell? >> first of all, lawrence, thanks for having me. i can't think of a better place to have my first interview. i appreciate it. joe biden has spoken to republicans, some republican senators, republican governors. i'm not going to go into names. he has not spoken to senator mcconnell. senator mcconnell seems to be insisting somehow that president trump won the election. he didn't. there will be a time and a place for joe biden and senator mcconnell to talk. they obviously need no introduction to one another. they have worked together. they have fought each other, worked together and fought each other over the decades. they'll have a working relationship when the time comes, so i think that will all proceed forward in a very fine efficient way. >> because of the weirdness of this transition, i'm going to ask you some questions about these calls that we normally wouldn't care about. did the republican senators call joe biden, or did joe biden call the republican senators? >> i think there'

joe biden is at 279.donald trump to win if everything were to be overturned, pennsylvania would need to be overturned and 20 electoral votes would get you down to 259. then donald trump would have to win in north carolina, which is likely that he will. he would also have to win georgia and in arizona and we see joe biden is leading in both states comfortably with little vote out. >> tom tillis won re-election in the north carolina senate race. did the stakes get higher in the two georgia senate races going to a run-off? >> no question. this week would be the stress test on donors. all of the outside groups would say listen, can you pony up more money. look, in the end how much are we going to see spent on the two senate races which would control democrats would control the u.s. senate. we will see an entirely different policy put further by joe biden. look at the number, $200 million. $100 million on each side from now until january 5th. >> my goodness. thank you sir. i appreciate it. hypocrisy on another

after days of uncertainty and a hard fought bitter campaign joe biden has been declared the winner of the u.s. presidential election he says he wants to restore the soul of america and unite a deeply divided nation biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history but he's appealed to the 10s of millions of americans who did not vote for him to give him a chance after his victory in pennsylvania biden is projected to have a majority of the electoral college votes needed to win the white house here's some of what the president elect had to say in his victory speech on saturday night. it's time to put away the harsh rhetoric lower the temperature see each other again listen to each other again and to make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies they are not our enemies they're american they're american am. the bought tells us to everything there is a season a time to build a time to repeat a time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time to hail in america one and apart from bringing a divided nation together biden has inherited huge c

and yes the truth of the you shall joe biden as the next president was the. wall biden has struck a conciliatory tone president donald trump has been defiant and even refused to concede he's also threatened a legal challenge to the vote count but once biden becomes president he'll likely face a divided congress ballots are still being counted but democrats are likely to retain control of the house of representatives while republicans could keep their majority in the senate making it difficult to advance his policies let's have a look at how biden plans to reshape u.s. foreign policy he wants to reverse trump's controversial america 1st agenda and restore washington's role on the world stage and his promise to repair relations with europe and opposes brags that biden intends to rejoin the 2 $1015.00 nuclear deal with iran return to the paris climate accord and restore u.s. membership in the world health organization he insists he'll take a much harder line on russia and be tough on china on maintaining cooperation with beijing on several issues biden says he'll

pence: president-elect joe biden -- >> president-elect joe biden and vice president-elect kamala harris will hold an event today, their first since the race was called. eastern, event at 8:00 c-span.org, or listen on the free c-span radio app. >> the president and his lawyers say they are going to litigate this. we all know why joe biden has rushed into falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him. they don't want the truth to be exposed. thisimple fact is, election is far from over. joe biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the hotly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. in pennsylvania, for example, notlegal observers were permitted to watch the counting process. legal votes decide the president, not the news media. beginning monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. the american people are entit

but when it comes to joe biden, joe biden has to be happy with these results.ver 74 million people voting for him. he got more votes than any other presidential candidate in the history of the united states of america, and he's most likely going to end up with over 300 electoral votes. this is a split decision for the parties. the country has decided obviously. they want republicans to have more of a say in the legislative branch and they want joe bide on the be their next president of the united states. >> what you just heard was joe biden speaking yesterday. compare that to trump world. advisers close to donald trump are advocating for him to admit to defeat should joe biden become the president-elect. the "washington post" reports that advisers urge trump to prepare for a defeat. yet trump is unlikely to ever concede in the traditional sense, allies said. if joe biden wins, they expect to trump basically claim the election was stolen up until the very end. according to one republican in touch with the white house, quote, they know he's lost, but no one seems

joe biden is the president-elect. at this hour joe biden has 273 electoral votes. president trump at this hour as 214. joe biden's projected win was called after nbc news projected joe biden the winner of pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes. president-elect joe biden will address the nation tonight and will be joined by vice president-elect kamala harris, who will be the first woman and first woman of color to be vice president, and she has a video of the moment she called joe biden. >> we did it. we did it, joe. you are going to be the next president of the united states. >> americans across the country are celebrating at this hour, including outside the white house where cheers erupted in support of joe biden, but president trump is not there to hear those cheers. he is at his golf course. president-elect biden released this statement saying i am honored and humbles by the trust the american people have placed in me and vice president-elect kamala harris, and a record number of americans voted proving once again

as you have been hearing, we don't have conclusive results but it does appear that joe biden is edgingard the victory. what do you make of where we are today? did you expect it to be this close? >> i certainly expect it for vice president biden to have a clear pathway to victory. many woke up on wednesday morning quite surprised that a large portion of americans decided to side with the current president who is been very clear that he stands beside racism and sexism and xenophobia. what we have seen when all votes are counted is that our democracy is prevailing. the people of america are speaking loud and clear and they want change. that they want to move toward unity and that is what vice president biden and senator kamala harris are bringing and that is what we will see prevail. >> donald trump has done better despite how he handled coronavirus and many other things. one of the interesting facts that we are getting out of this election is that the number of black voters that came out to vote for president has improved his standing in this election. why do you think that is? >> there

joe biden winning it handily. e difference the turnout in the rurals and keeping the margins close in clark, right now only 7,000 votes separate. the one biggest wild card, biggest wrench to any pathway the biden campaign would have is all of a sudden if this changes. we won't know anything not today until tomorrow according to nevada officials. we will have to wait and see but right now democrats feel like they're okay, but this is close. >> to be clear, all the election day vote is in. 100%. >> yes. >> of the election day vote is counted, what is outstanding is mail. a lot of it in clark county, a lot of the mail has been trending democratic but we don't know. we're just waiting. all right, phil, keep us posted as this develops. this is certainly exciting and keeps on changing. let's go to biden headquarters, the former vice president has been trying to strike this patient optimistic tone. listen to what he said a few hours ago. >> it ain't over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted. keep the faith
