president nevada georgia pennsylvania alaska and north carolina are all yet to be called let's take a closer look at how things stand there joe biden has $264.00 electors if you include arizona which some say is too early to call if it does go blue in the chest 6 more electoral votes to. reach the $275.00 victory total trump on the other hands currently stands at $214.00 it's a close race with both candidates closing gaps in different battleground states overnight and pennsylvania trumps lead over biden instructor barely $18000.00 votes while in nevada on the west coast the former vice president is leading by less than one percent and in georgia biden has taken the lead by under $1000.00 votes with 99 percent counted and the democratic candidate hasn't won the state in decades that's interesting to watch the race in north carolina so far just too close to call well let's look at the pathways to power for both candidates a chance facing a narrow road to victory he will have to win 4 of the battleground states excluding arizona which we mentioned earlier has been called by some media fo

tension is now on states continue to be counted we're still waiting for crucial results in nevada georgia pennsylvania alaska and also north carolina and as it stands this things look joe biden has 264 lex's if you include arizona although some do say it is too early to call but if it does go. he will need just 6 more votes to reach the 70 required victory on the front meanwhile currently stands on 214 but that said it remains a very tight race because both candidates place gaps in different battleground states over night in pennsylvania from slade over biden has shrunk to barely $18000.00 bags there while in nevada the former vice president is leading by less than one percent and then in georgia biden has taken the lead by just a 1000 votes with 99 percent of the ballots counted incidentally the democratic candidate hasn't won that state in decades meanwhile the race in north carolina is also too close to call for the moment so i want to sort of this may trump has more of an uphill fight if he wants to stay in the white house he has to win 4 of the battleground states excluding arizona which we menti

at this hour there are five states up for grabs -- arizona, nevada, georgia, pennsylvania and north carolina. joe biden leads in four of those. president trump is ahead in north carolina. both candidates still have a path to victory. president trump needs to win at least four of the five outstanding states. biden needs to only win pennsylvania or any combination of the other two states. now 270 is the magic number to win. those numbers have not changed since election night. joe biden had 253 votes, president trump with 214. >> and while biden is planning a move into the white house president trump is at the white house and appears to be running out of options. >> let's bring in nbc's alice farr from "the washington post." >> reporter: joe biden gave a status update as he gave what appears to be an insurmountable electoral lead over president trump. >> the people spoke to more than 74 million americans and spoke loudly for our ticket. but while we're waiting for the final results i want people to know we're not waiting to get the work done. >> reporter: the democratic challenger spent the day

essentially this means that even if biden backs nevada georgia pennsylvania which would take him to 306 electoral votes which is exactly the same amount of votes that trump got in 2016 you know he also by currently has a popular vote lead of more than 3 to have 1000000 i mean by any measure that would be a very decisive victory but it does not count it is not how but even if he wins all of these gets a 306 electoral votes or more we could still see it could still take weeks before we see official results peter thank you very much that was the w.'s thank you for. oh we're into the 2nd day with a conclusive result in the 2020 u.s. election while there's little to back up claims that dealt the integrity of this election this wouldn't be the 1st time u.s. vote counting process has come under scrutiny scrutiny and taken more than a few days to name a winner. november 2000 republican presidential candidate george w. bush seems to win florida but the results are so close that the rules demand a recount the whole election hangs in the balance democratic candidate al gore request a manual recoun

unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting and ballot counting georgia nevada and pennsylvania just some of the states where votes are still being counted and republicans are finding legal challenges over the election. well georgia's become the unexpected toss up for donald trump with joe biden closing in on his lead now for more on this let's speak to andy gallacher he's joining us live from miami where he's monitoring what's going on in georgia and i'm just watching at the moment gabriel sterling who is the secretary of state's chief operating officer in there up on the 47000 ballots left to count he's giving an update on what the vote in situation is in georgia but there have been some legal ramifications in georgia as well haven't you. well lawyers for the trump campaign filed a legal challenge saying that one of their observers saw $53.00 ballots handed in after the deadline of 7 pm that's now being dismissed by a judge but if we look at this lead all the gap between biden and trump it is now in all the time on election night trump out of 370000 or there abouts a vote lead

president nevada georgia pennsylvania and north carolina are all yet to be called well let's take a closer look at how things stand joe biden still secures a $264.00 electors as if you include arizona which many say is too early to call if it goes blue though that means he just needs 6 more electoral votes to reach the magic 270 for victory donald trump on the other hand currently stands at 240. it's a very close race but across battleground states with both candidates closing gaps overnight in pennsylvania biden is trailing by just under $49000.00 votes while in nevada the former v.p. is leading by less than one percent and georgia both candidates are currently in a virtual tie the race in north carolina is so far too close to call. let's look at the pathways to power for both candidates trumps facing a narrow road to victory he will have to win all 4 of the remaining states excluding arizona which we mentioned earlier has been called by some for by some media for biden i mean while the former vice president needs only to capture one more state. the election spouse tension across the coun

georgia, and he's slightly ahead in nevada. meanwhile, trump is making gangs in pennsylvania. and of course it will stay across all of the developments. as the counting continues. you can save someone's life if you die, the small and direct means saved on the painting that you can then save your thousands of other lives. well, my response is that the way we should think about that is just is that just as there's a child in a store experiment.

arizona, nevada, georgia, north carolina and pennsylvania. joe biden leads in four of those currently. president trump is ahead in north carolina. both candidates still do have the path to victory. joe biden with 253 electoral college votes. president trump currently with 214. >>> president trump needs to win at least four of the five outstanding states. biden only needs to win pennsylvania or any combination of two other states. of course, as you likely know by now, 270 is the goal. those numbers actually haven't changed since election night. we turn now to tracie potts in wilmington, delaware, where the biden campaign was hoping to hold a victory rally but for the fourth night in a row put that on hold. >> look at the national numbers. we'll win with a clear majority of the nation behind us. >> reporter: joe biden poised for victory, but still urging patience. >> democracy works. your vote will be counted. >> reporter: biden's bullish prediction that he'll win more than 300 electoral votes with leads in pennsylvania, nevada, arizona and eve

pennsylvania, nevada arizona. also georgia president donald trump has pursued some legal options with very little success insisting the process of ballot counting should be stopped with millions of ballots yet to be counted. joe biden already has received more than 72 million votes. that is the most in history. in nevada, the trump campaign says it plans to file a federal lawsuit against the state and the clark county claiming widespread voter fraud. the trump campaign made this announcement outside of the clark county election department, the exact site where outstanding mail in ballots are being counted by hand. republicans claimed clark county is counting thousands of illegal ballots, but they didn't present any evidence of widespread voter fraud. the clark clowney register said that they are focused on accuracy not quickness when it comes to counting votes. judges in georgia and michigan of also dismissed trump campaign lawsuits under cutting a legal campaign strategy aimed at attacking the integrity of the voting process

constant, filed suit in michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia and complained about other various states' procedures. tom: all of these little attachments to the vote. in arizona, nevadaorgia, pennsylvania. a conversation with a gentleman from harvard, coming up next. this is "bloomberg." ♪ tom: election 2020, thank you for joining us on those early american morning, and futures up 55 and 71, and perhaps it is the small calculus in georgia. mr. trump still ahead in georgia, but mr. biden gaining nicely. 18,000 is down to between them and that is ever so slight as they count votes in atlanta. world trade for us. ken rogoff has been a huge supporter of our work. a harvard professor and former head of economic resort -- researchers at the head of the economic fund. i consider his book to be the bravest book of economics for the decade if not many years beyond. i want to talk about the curse of two americas, the partition that this election divides. .e seems to get further apart what is the policy prescription to bring america together? ken: that is a really tough question. certainly from an economic perspective, we need to have a better social safety net in the united st

the presidential race still too close to call in pennsylvania, nevada, georgia, and north carolina. we have team fox coverage reporters on the ground in pennsylvania, nevada and georgia and peter doocy has the latest on the biden campaign. we start with john roberts live on the north lawn. >> good afternoon. got off a conference call with the trump campaign about a half-hour ago. they remain confident when all is said and done in the grand canyon state of arizona, president trump will prevail. some votes came in last night. the president 68,000 behind joe biden but he picked up 11,000 votes on biden. as the late ballots come nthe president's campaign said he is performing better. while it will be tight, eventually they believe they will win. the biden campaign says the opposite. the campaign predict that president trump will hang on to georgia. though it appears that margin will be reaazor thin. they have a lawsuit. the campaign wants all ballots that came in after 7 o'clock to be thrown out. they say the president will win pennsylvania but didn't express the absolute confidence they

the counting continues in some of the key battleground states — georgia, arizona, nevada and pennsylvania among those still to declare. hello and welcome. donald trump has again complained of electoral fraud in tuesday's presidential poll, as his lead in two key states, georgia and pennsylvania, continues to shrink as postal votes are counted. at a news conference at the white house he said the system was corrupt but offered no evidence to back up his claims. if you count the legal votes, i easily win. if you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. if you count the votes that came in late — we're looking at them very strongly — but a lot of votes came in late. i have already decisively won many critical states, including massive victories in florida, iowa, indiana, ohio, to name just a few. we won these and many other victories despite historic election interference from big media, big money and big tech. as everyone saw, we won by historic numbers, and the pollster got it knowingly wrong. they go it knowingly wrong. we had polls that were so ridiculous — and

tally the electoral , where on thena kospi of nevada, pennsylvania, georgia, these are all the votes eed to come in and could swing. they are ground zero any political challenge or legal challenge could cause pennsylvania, that's where a lot of people are inferring could be the basis of a legal challenge. it's a whole other discussion. sure,ing that's for everybody wants a little bit of america in terms of stocks tax,se less capital gains dansk bank wants to be long on everything. the overall index, volatility is imploding, but the ground zero, i would say of repricing comes in the bond market. 30 year bond yields imploding yesterday. this is about the lack of belief in stimulus coming at a size and scale the market believed it would come through before. inflation is have been decried. our guest host in the last 30 minutes had said tenure paper take it down 2.65%. that's the state of play on the markets. let's get the rest of the news from the u.k., england going into lockdown. the central bank set to announce a new round of stimulus. we will also hear from the chancellor addressing p

nevada. georgia pennsylvania.and in the wee hours this morning we had a big shift in the basically the the polls to one candidate or the other we had georgia and pennsylvania go towards joe biden as he now is in the lead when you look at the vote count, it's still small but he's in the lead and not shifting is the president's stance on what's going on let's go live to washington dc now. >>basal john is covering the latest there. hi basal. >>good morning guys sing. yes, the latest information as you just said is that former vice president joe biden has taken advantage in taking the lead in the state of pennsylvania, currently with more than 5,000 more ballots on the way to be counted. this follows the news we learned around 5 o'clock this morning that biden taking control of georgia but only with a very small difference of more than 1000 votes to his name now when you're looking at it from the bigger picture both the president and the former vice president had a very different ways of looking at these changing poll

call, counting continues with joe biden catching up with president trump in georgia and pennsylvania and extending his lead in nevadag us now is our senior international editor jodi schneider. give us the latest on this. >> joe biden seems to be moving ,orward in georgia pennsylvania, and arizona. basically narrowing the lead that president trump had their. arizona is complicated. the apn fox called arizona for joe biden. some of the other networks have not. there is some differential. basically, if he gets arizona or hangs onto it, joe biden just needs one of those other states which is nevada, pennsylvania, or georgia. pennsylvania alone is 20 electoral votes. he claims that, he gets 270. president trump is well behind. point, joet this biden looks to be moving forward. we don't know how long those votes will take to count. it has been taking a long time particularly in pennsylvania, urban areas like philadelphia, inre were a lot of mail ballots. anna: president trump up late continues to make the same statements or give the same messages that he thinks he has won. he makes a distinction between votes being cast a

pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada. we are following counts in all of those states.he weather should even out a bit more, i think, for friday. certainly compared with thursday, where we had the wind blowing over the pennines, bringing some sunshine in durham and temperatures reaching 18 degrees. whereas across southern parts of england, when that fog formed, it lingered into the afternoon in some places and temperatures only eight or nine celsius. now, it's quite chilly early in the morning across more southern areas of the uk. where we have the clearer skies, a pinch of frost. further north, there is more cloud around. but where we have those clearer skies in england and wales, there's some mist and fog, particularly towards the west country and the south—east of wales in the morning. it'll lift fairly readily, mind you, as the breeze picks up and we get sunshine developing widely. and that cloud, quite low cloud, moving northwards across scotland and northern ireland and some sunshine coming in here as well. the winds picking up in the south—west through the day. t

i know this race down to arizona, nevada, georgia, pennsylvania. talk us through all of this. >> sure, happy to. good morning. we'll start with pennsylvania which says it's got another set of ballots. remember the federal courts ruled that pennsylvania can accept legal and legitimate ballots for nine days so long as they were postmarked before election day. so, that case went all the way up to the supreme court because it tied on that ruling, it affirmed a lower court's ruling. those ballots absolutely do count. we always knew pennsylvania would take a long time. we always suspected the vote would swing. we were talking about that last week. anybody who is surprised that mail-in ballots, which are counted last, are swinging races towards biden should not be surprised. biden encouraged his supporters to use mail-in ballots. president trump discouraged their use. let's take a look at georgia. georgia remains too close to call. you can see the pattern of urban voting and rural voting. georgia used to be the state that republicans could always count on

>>we're counting votes here in pennsylvania, georgia, north carolina, nevada among other places but these are the key swing pennsylvania is the state that we're focusing on because donald trump absolutely has to have it if he is to have a path to victory and right now, pennsylvania is a place where joe biden took the lead early today and he leads right now by about 22,000 votes. you see the vote differential right there and if biden can hang on in pennsylvania. he be the president elect there are about 100,000 votes that still need to be counted in pennsylvania and that's why. no one has declared biden the victor there none of the networks have and that is why probably biden didn't speak when he was hoping to earlier tonight. it seems like he still might speak, here's another number to watch more interesting than joe biden as leading the popular vote by more than 4 million votes in 2016. hillary clinton you may recall won the popular vote by about 2.8 million biden with a significantly they're getting more than 50% of the overall georgia going to recounting in georgia because of how close

he says he's leading in nevada, georgia, pennsylvania and nevada. and when all is said and done he expects there to be north of 300 electoral votes. >> we can pull up the 270 map and see where we stand. let me reset this actually. okay, biden 253, trump 214. so obviously the most direct path for biden to the pennsylvania right now is pennsylvania. he is leading in pennsylvania. and as we've been talking about tonight with every update from these mail-in ballots still being counted around the state, he continues to increase his lead. it's now approaching 30,000. he built it up to half a point, 0.5%. so if biden does hold on in pennsylvania to build a lead here as these mail ballots come in, that would put him at 273 and make him the president-elect. we can go through these states quickly. north carolina remains outstanding. biden's trailing by a significant number there. frankly, if you look into what's behind that what the officials are waiting for, tough to see biden getting the kind of votes he needs late to overtake that, so north carolina would

the counting continues in some of the key battleground states — georgia, arizona, nevada and pennsylvania those still to declare. hello and welcome. within the last hour donald trump has again complained of electoral fraud in tuesday's presidential poll, as his lead in two key states — georgia and pennsylvania — continues to shrink as postal votes are counted. at a news conference at the white house he said the system was corrupt. if you count the legal votes, i easily win. if you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from ours. if you count the votes that came in late, we're looking at them very strongly but a lot of them very strongly but a lot of them came in late, but i read it decisively one and critical states including massive victories in florida, iowa, indiana, ohio. we wonder these and many other victories despite historic election interference from big media, big—money and big tech. as eve ryo ne big—money and big tech. as everyone sold, we won by historic numbers and the pulses go it knowingly wrong. they go it knowingly wrong. the polls was so it knowing

thtrump campaign is also alleging misconduct in pursuing lawsuits in georgia, nevada, pennsylvania and michigan. judges quickly tossed out cases in michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia. and the president has made clear he wants the election decided in the courts. in a statement today, the campaign said, quote, this is about the integrity of our entire election process. we will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee that the american people ha confidence in our government. but again today, state and cal electio officials assured americans that votes are being counted fairly. from georgia -- >> in georgia, this process is and will remain open and ansparent toonitors. we are committed to doing anything and everything to maintaining trust in our elections process for every georgian regardless of partisan preference. thank you very much. yamiche: to nevada. >> we're not interested in movi as fast ase can. we want to be accurate. we're confident that the work is beinccg doneately. and that's what our main goal is. yamiche: meanwhile, the t presid getting back up from

we await results from nevada, georgia, pennsylvania and north carolina still counting ballots amid a to orders pennsylvania to separate late mail in ballots but the legal battle didn't stop joe biden from saying this. >> a record number of americans from all races, faiths, religions chose change over more of the same. they've given us a mandate to action. >> donald trump tweeting biden should not wrongfully claim the presidency legal proceedings are just beginning. we have coverage from harrisburg, pennsylvania but begin with griff jenkins in delaware. >> reporter: good morning, taking in all the opening you went through, both candidates have a path only donald trump has a more difficult path, biden only needs one state to get to 270. let's show you where the race stand. in pennsylvania he has a double-digit lead from yesterday. in georgia where recounts are expected new numbers increasing the narrow margin from 4000 to more than 7000. out west in nevada biden ahead by 22,000. in north carolina donald trump maintaining his lead of 76,000. in arizona where fox called the race for biden

against the vote counting in process in several states is campaign has filed suits in georgia michigan pennsylvania and nevada these include allegations of lates and invalid votes and campaign observers being tonight adequate access to cases in michigan and georgia have been dismissed for lack of evidence none of the complaints provide examples of what trump claims is massive voter frauds or claire finkelstein is a professor of law and director at the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania she says the lawsuits are not going to change the state's overall result. i'm here at ground 0 of this litigation namely in pennsylvania and there have been numerous lawsuits filed for example objections to the curing of ballots in which mail in ballots were defective for some formal reason and it standard procedure here to call up the voters and give them a chance to correct those ballots for example by signing the outside of an armadillo. there's the lawsuit about how close republican observers members of the truck campaign can stand to the tables where the ballots are being recounted ther

nevada which has six electoral votes. it would get biden to 270. any one of these states, georgia, pennsylvania, arizona, nevada, any one of those is going to put trump -- excuse me biden over the top. so i think it actually could come today. now, that doesn't mean the president comes out and concedes today. there will be a lot of pressure on him to do that. but we've had races in the past where the losing candidate did not concede for a while. waited for some challenges to take place. waited for what's called canvassing to take place in a lot of local areas. so it doesn't mean everything is wrapped up in a string. but it appears to me that biden reaching 270 is getting pretty darn close. >> sandra: 11:00 last night 175,000 ballots were outstanding. we had the update this morning that joe biden is now leading in that state when it comes to pennsylvania county, there were more than 55,000 mail-in ballots as i bring that up on the screen. papa -- pennsylvania county and allegany county pittsburgh. both democrats leaning areas as those votes continue to be counted at this hour. byron, stand by, th

electoral college votes to win a few states here highlighted yellow on the map nevada georgia north carolina pennsylvania they're still in play they are counting is ongoing in georgia no democrat has carried that state since 1902 but trump's lead there is not going fast what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes so from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic in nevada biden is now really in the lead to the western states has 6 electoral votes that will be enough to get him to the $270.00 mark they it's one of the states trump is suing claiming voter fraud we're also waiting on pennsylvania the states where joe biden is from trump's lead here again is shrinking and the remaining male ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh giving biden a chance to catch up pounce of any is another state where trump has filed a lawsuit. let's go straight to alan fischer who's watching things for us in washington d.c. allan just bring us up to date with for the latest from the town campaign which has been getting increasingly heated in the last couple of

hundreds of thousands are outstanding in pennsylvania, arizona, nevada and georgia. in other words, there is still a long way to go, baby. i'm going to go first to arizona. a state that nbc just switched to too close to call. but joe biden is leading there and nbc's gadi schwartz is in scottsdale. we got some new results overnight. where do things stand now? >> good morning, steph. we're expecting more ballots to be counted today. also probably expecting to see more protests at the maricopa county elections center. a crowd of about 300 gathered in front of those steps yelling at election officials chanting, we love trump and count those votes. a lot of them were extremely angry saying they thought the election was being stolen from the president even though there are still possibly days away from that count finally being finished. a lot of frustration coming from what appeared to be that early sizable biden lead here in arizona with those returns that we've seen. so far we understand there are still about 270,000 ballots here in maricopa county alone that still need

saying he's convinced he will win the race and here's why he's ahead in the states of pennsylvania nevada and georgia so far biden is projects it's a 1264 electoral college votes while trump is still on see hundreds and 14 the number of course of course a cup president of the united states is 270 so bison needs to win in only one of those yellow undecided states to get over the line where rob reynolds reports now from los angeles. joe biden took the stage looking weary but full of confidence we don't have a final declaration of victory yet but the numbers tell us it's clear to us a clear and convincing story we're going to win this race. by now leads donald trump in pennsylvania by a significant margin and a narrow one in georgia he also remains ahead in nevada and arizona as vote counting continues and what's becoming clear each hour is that record number of americans of all races faiths religions chose change over more of the same they've given us a mandate for action on covert the economy climate change systemic racism. biden called for healing after a bitter and rancorous campaign let's put the a

we are still looking for numbers to come in from nevada, arizona, georgia, pennsylvania. the biden campaign is optimistic's -- optimistic about their chances. david: they must be worried about something. what do they worry about? >> we are seeing arizona, which callp and fox news did arizona for biden. last night, we saw the margin between by demand trump close a little bit. we are waiting a lot of -- we are waiting for a lot of ballots to cover maricopa county. campaign saying they are still confident they will see a boost when it comes to arizona. that is one place where biden's lead is shrinking. david: great reporting for the biden campaign. andime, apart from arizona nevada, pennsylvania remains a key element in this presidential contest. when it comes to the keystone state, there is no one who knows it better than ed red nail, dust -- ed rendell, special counsel. welcome. where you think the pennsylvania race is right now? >> i think joe biden is going to win.

i still have teams in the father, in arizona, pennsylvania and georgia as we speak. —— nevada. weet, i wonder by a lot? put it this way, we are following any cases, following what is happening with the legal cases, our legal team is following that. we have seen today, some accusations that may be, the machinery is faulty in georgia. my voting technology expert is following that. we do not dispute president trump's right as a candidate to take his case to the us court. they will ultimately decide if these cases have substance and if there is enough evidence. i can only continue to say, from what i am hearing from my observers in the field, there are still no cases, widespread cases of fraud or wrongdoing. but ambassador, when he pre—empts the result and makes these allegations of voter fraud, isn't there something that you, as an international body can do? we have already commented on this, the day after the election. unsubsta ntiated allegations of fraud by the incumbent president severely undermined public trust in the system and we have not shied away from making that conclusi

we await decisions in nevada, georgia and pennsylvania. any of which could determine the next president of the united states. >> i feel very good about pennsylvania. >> we are declaring a victory in pennsylvania. >> we have won wisconsin by 20,000 votes. >> we filed for a recount in wisconsin. >> when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners. >> president trump and vice president pence will be reelected for another four years. >> shannon: regardless of who comes out on top this election was not the landslide predicted by many in the media and longed for by democrats. there was no blue wave. "the washington post" opines "even if biden amasses enough of a majority in electoral college to become the president's -- become the nation's 46th president, he would lead a bitterly divided country, having falling short of the resounding repudiation of trump that many political strategists believed necessary to extinguish the political fires." hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin with lelan

know that just for battleground states still being counted joe biden is now ahead in georgia nevada and pennsylvania biden has 264 electoral college votes trump has 214 the number to hit is 270 any single win for biden could effectively end the race but officials in georgia say they expect a recount there we've also now got a new batch of ballots in the state we've already called them they increase biden's margin but this is one of the states the trunk campaign is trying to contest with a legal challenge. you know we have correspondents following developments across the united states our team the sellers are all a child is in wilmington biden's home state of delaware olen fisher is covering developments from the capital washington d.c. . the last i heard speaker nancy pelosi has already called joe biden the president elect while lashing out at trump pretty soon the hyphen will be gone from vice president to president elect joe biden a happy day for our country because joe biden is a unifier because he is determined to bring people together because he respects all points of view and as he has said i

pennsylvania that changes things. but nevada could be crucial. there is absolutely a scenario where biden loses states like georgia and pennsylvania north carolina be the crucial state for biden and it is a very, very close. just one thing to say about the republicans here, they are very litigious, they have already launched all sorts of lawsuits previous to the election. i think if it's close here you can pretty much guarantee you are going to see more lawsuits from the republicans to come here. james clayton in las vegas. evenifjoe even ifjoe biden does become president, if his party does not control congress it can be difficult to get things done. they are expected to remain control of the house with a reduced majority. they were unable to unseat susan collins who has fought off a strong challenge. they needed to gain three orfour challenge. they needed to gain three or four senate seats for control they have had just an increase of one. democratic strategist, cristina antelo joined me from washington, i asked her how difficult it is to be president if your party doesn't control the senate. we have been watching donald trump with the same prob

president, including places like georgia, yet to be called, pennsylvania, yet to be called so he was basing it on that. >> bret: you've got cases, state cases pending in georgia, nevada, pennsylvania. now a federal case today in pennsylvania as well. we heard from ric grenell in nevada. take a listen to this and then the club county registrar response. >> with asked clark county for answers, they have no answers. they continue to count illegal votes. that is unacceptable and it's giving legal people a sense that the system is corrupt. >> my responses that we are not aware of any improper ballots that are being processed. >> bret: in each one of these states, each one of the state officials or county officials has come out and said we don't have any indications that there's evidence of any fraud in any of these cases. will there be some layout of the evidence in each one of these places? >> i have been told by the campaign there are instances and we've all seen the anecdotal information of bags of ballots being found i guess along with santa claus' stack of a toy request we see in some places, new ballots being founder overwhelmingly for joe biden. i think that raises

he needs pennsylvania and georgia, pennsylvania, or nevada. we were hearing of court filings and allegations from the trump team including an allegation of fraud in nevada. my colleague jacob soberoff tried valiantly to get campaign of that. >> can you talk about the evidence that you're claiming thousands of ill legitimate veg ballots. >> you said there are no -- where is the evidence of the fraud? you haven't presented any evidence of fraud? where is the evidence? so we're live on msnbc. you said there are thousands of illegitimate ballots. where are the ball lolls? good on jacob. things are changing by the minute. let's get right to it. joining me from the big board is steve kornacki, kris jansing, vaughn hilliard, jacob soberoff, also with me the editor of the nevada independent john ralphson. join me the state of play, where we are in the count right now. >> you can see that joe biden is leading in nevada by 11,000 votes. 76,000 votes, and we have gotten repor reports from reno. a lot of space here, not a lot of population. we also got so

the next four years hang on georgia, nevada, and pennsylvania. qe from the boe. officials boat -- vote to boost stimulus to preempt double-dip recession. good morning, everyone. welcome to "bloomberg surveillance," and welcome to our election special. i think it is a conviction on the markets, spec tatian's we are not going to see extra regulate -- on expectations that we are not going to see extra regulations in the u.s. and as we look at a possible biden presidency with a republican senate. what is interesting is what the vix is doing, and i look at pound because we need to mention the boe, a bigger package than expected full-time and guy johnson will speak with governor bailey. importantwill be an interview for global wall street. i believe david folkerts-landau is scheduled with us, from deutsche bank. the sun has not risen on the east coast yet. when it does, we will start to see the trickling in of the final 5% of voting in some states, and in some there is still a very large gap involving tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of votes. what am i focu

you know essentially we're looking at a situation where even of biden we were to win nevada of georgia pennsylvania which would take him to $306.00 electoral college votes which is exactly the same amount of votes trump got in 2016 biden also having a much bigger popular vote lead you know we could still be looking at weeks. at least weeks before we know the official winner what should we be watching out for from this point on with all of these things in motion that you've already mentioned you know how do we orient ourselves moving forward and there's just so much to watch and we also know we not only have a presidential race we also have a congressional races still ongoing where especially the senate races are still very unclear how that's going to go that's going to be crucial for the next. president let's focus on biking let's say that if he wins i think the big question is how decisively does the way will be enough for trump to you know sustain his legal attack or if not then you know how long until the republican party for instance starts to speak up and say you know maybe except defeat we di

>> well, we're looking at all four of the states, georgia, nevada, north carolina, and pennsylvania. ou can see, the georgia margin is very, very slim for the president. if there is a likelihood, given that, and given the way the boat is currently coming in, the former vice president biden might take over in the coming days for the coming hours. the only question there is that there are a large number of provisional ballots and a large number of overseas military ballots which make that conclusion there a little more challenging. in nevada, right now former vice president is ahead. it's not yet -- the distance between the former vice president and president trump is not yet large enough given the amount of votes outstanding that we feel comfortable making a call in that state, but again, the vote is still coming in. it's been a little slower than we anticipated. we thought there would be a bigger dump of ballots today -- by dump i mean data dump. it north carolina, the president has a fairly healthy lead, but the count is sort of very, very slow. we actually checked. i don't think the

number-plus, that joe biden could hit based on what they're doing in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, nevada and georgia>> no. i don't expect that the result could be overturned as a legal matter. that doesn't mean there won't be legal activity in the interim, particularly in pennsylvania and nevada. i think it's worth -- in understanding the legal developments in recent days, it's worth comparing it to the republic legal strategy after the 2000 election in florida. regardless of whether you agree with the outcome there, was a highly orchestrated, disciplined, focused pr and legal strategy. we're seeing a much different approach 20 years later. what we've seen since election day with the trump campaign has instead been a scatter shot of lawsuits in georgia, michigan, nevada and pennsylvania that seem to be less about any underlying legal issue with the election, but more about creating a misimpression with the public that misconduct is rampant. >> matthew sanderson, i wish we had more time, sir. i'm fascinated by this conversation. we'll have you back. that does it for us on this special hour, extended
