. >> let's note kamala harris came out to mary j. blige. the announcement that biden had clinched victory came around noon yesterday, putting an end to a long and contentious election and sparking celebrations in streets across this country. so far, president trump is refusing to accept that he's lost and he is vowing to fight the results in court. i want to get into all of this with peter baker, the chief white house correspondent for "the new york times." he wrote the book about our 44th president, barack obama, entitled "the call of history." kurt bardella was spokesperson for the house oversight committee under democratic control. he later joined the democratic party and works with the lincoln project. and martha kumar, professor of political science attalson university. she wrote the book, "before the oath: about the transition of power from george w. bush to barack obama." peter, to you first. the message seems so simple. focus on what unites us instead of what divides us. now that he's actually president-elect, how does he do that? d

was not going to be history denied and what we saw tonight was kamala harris taking the stage to mary j. bligepearls and dressed in sufficie sufficient jet white and preparing to serve as the second most powerful person in the country. she mentioned congressman john lewis in her opening words talking about democracy being something that we must struggle for, that we have to fight for but that that can be a fight that does have joy in it and she certainly looked joyful as she took that stage tonight and frankly many people watching saw what looks to them not to just be the future of the democratic party but the future of the country. she addressed directly the role of women, particularly of black women talking about the 19th amendment, talking about the 55 years since the voting rights act, standing on the shoulders of the black women who made this moment possible for her and for the country. it was something that i could tell having covered her for the better part of a year and a half that she was deeply moved by. she invoked her mother who came to this country at the and of 19 saying that she

kamala harris walked out to mary j. blige. joe biden walked out to bruce springsteen.ys of the campaign bruce spring teen narrated a commercial for joe biden and there was a great line that says, "this is more than where he's from, it's who he is for," speaking to the blue-collar people that signed on to vote for joe biden this time. i think that speaks volumes of how hoe made that shift and turned it around. >> o'donnell: you think bruce springsteen may have been the deciding factor. >> reporter: i think bruce springsteen-- you can't go wrong with anything bruce springsteen. don't get me started. i'll start belting out "dancing in the dark" soon. i don't think that hurt. they played that commercial during the ohio state-penn state game the week before voting. i don't think that hurt. >> o'donnell: absolutely not. we will have more from cbs news election headquarters right here re.times square. online last night ♪ ♪ and body wash, just for men ♪ now, i think we're gonna buy new shoes, again! ♪ ♪ rakuten cash back on the things all in our home ♪ ♪ rakuten i shop on raku

what was that moment like personally for you when your close friend walks out on that stage with mary j. bligeabsolutely amazing. absolutely amazing and what made it even more special was to share that moment with my three daughters. i actually have three daughters, the oldest is a graduate of clark atlanta university and i'm very proud to say it's also our sorority sister. my middle daughter is currently a student at howard university, and actually the silver lining of the pandemic was that she was at home in georgia voting with us as a family for her first voting opportunity and then, my youngest daughter is a high school student so experiencing it with them was really amazing and seeing their reaction and they're well aware of the history and the struggles that we've had in this country but what they know is that we had a black president and now a black female vice president and this totally shapes their reality and for them what they said was, they realized there are no limits for them. and that was what was really amazing. >> i'm sure that they feel that way. full disclosure. my mother, h
