votes at 26 electoral stake in pennsylvania. according to the associated press, it's one of five states that has yet to declare a winner in the presidential race. >> thank you again for joining us this evening, everybody. as you know, pennsylvania has made important progress in counting millions of mail-in ballots. that continues as we speak. across the state, thousands of volunteers, election officials, worked last night, most of today already, to open process and count ballots. their work is not easy, and i want to say thank you to everybody in all 67 counties who have been working so hard and so diligently. i know this is something we do every election and is part of the election process, but they .ave really worked hard the eyes of the world are on pennsylvania, so it is especially important. an important thing we all do is protect our democracy, and that is to make sure we have an accurate and full count for our vote, and that is exactly what pennsylvania is doing right now. it is not surprising, as i've said before, that t

-- of the pennsylvania statutes that they require for voting systems in pennsylvania. though they all look a little different and feel a little different, they are all meeting the high standards of security and accessibility. they all have a voter verifiable paper trail. every precinct in pennsylvania is also mandated under federal law to provide an ada accessible ballot marking device. some counties allow all voters to use it. some try to limit it to voters with disabilities. those are all within the context of the law. they meet the highest standards of security and accessibility so any voter, no matter how and where you vote, you can have tremendous confidence that your vote is secure and your ballot will be counted accurately. >> can you break it down a little more? for instance, the dominion system recommends that you use a black marker versus a black pen. voters have said, "i was told that if you use a black marker for this system, it will be thrown out." >> no. the type of pen is really about the ability for the scanner to read the ballot. let's say you mark you

state of pennsylvania. we are joined by senator pat toomey and senator bob casey in a moment. two senators from pennsylvania. first, the headlines. georgia is heating up. the secretary of state announced a hand recount. president biden is up in the votes. that is going to be a state that everyone in this country will have their eyes on between now and the january 5 runoff. ntry will have their eyes on between now and the january 5 runoff. speaker pelosi meanwhile in the house remains in charge. challengended off no despite democrats losing seats in the house of representatives. it is a testament to her power. it's also a sign democrats were ambitious -- who were ambitious in the house are probably going to wait it out until pelosi decides to retire at one point. when you lose seats, usually there is a leadership challenge. not this time. finally, biden and prime minister boris johnson had a phone call that was productive. boris johnson spoke to the house of commons in recent hours and said it was a producti

it pennsylvania it will be close. we will not know on election night because there will be ballots being counted for the days afterwards. if the polls are accurate, it looks like the vice president will pull this off. greta: 20 electoral votes at stake. what role do you think the state will play in this election? close, ifelection is the polls are wrong and none of the other states and play such as florida or north carolina or arizona really are competitive, pennsylvania will decided. may not know the pennsylvania, we will know if it is close, it will come down to pennsylvania. who dowhat about those not traditionally vote. how did vote in 2016? what do we know about whether the candidates are getting them to show up this time around? >> we do expect are not to be higher. pennsylvania typically has a higher turnout rate than the rest of the country but there are still between 30% and 40% of eligible voters that are not turning up. president trump did mobilize new people to the polls last on and he may do so again this

pennsylvania. if that's the case, if that continues and joe biden wins pennsylvania, then he wins the presidency. he is over 270 electoral votes. the president and the trump campaign are trying to compile a list of allegations, a bill of particulars in which they say there has been corruption or voter fraud or irregularities that would make a difference or at least would send this all to court. we'll have to see what, if anything, they come up with. in pennsylvania there has been another controversy which is the idea of counting ballots that arrive at election facilities after election day. the state legislature earlier this year-in-law said that all ballots had to be received by 8:00 p.m. on election day. then the state supreme court said no, no, no, give it three more days. some wanted to give it six more days for ballots that had been postmarked by election day to arrive and some ballots with an unclear or no post mark at all. it went to the u.s. supreme court which declined to intervened. alito

we're talking about pennsylvania. biden, closing in on trump in pennsylvania.top in electoral votes. and that could potentially happen very, very soon. we're standing by for more votes from pennsylvania, at any moment now. biden also gaining momentum in georgia, taking a slim lead over trump in that traditionally red state. at this hour, biden is looking to add to his 253 electoral votes, aiming for the winning number of 270. president trump with 213 electoral votes is seeing his options slipping away right now. let's get a key race alert. all right, let's start in georgia right now. 16 electoral votes, 99% of the estimated vote is now in. and biden has a lead. a small lead, 1,096 votes over trump. look at that, 49.4%. 49.4%. there are still votes outstanding in georgia. we're watching georgia very closely. in pennsylvania right now, 95% of the estimated vote is in. about 5% remains outstanding. 20, 20 electoral votes in pennsylvania. trump has a lead, a narrow lead, it really has shrunk, 18,229. 49.5% for trump. 49.2% for biden. it's very, very close in pennsy

pennsylvania. about 42,000 votes now separate the two. in georgia the margin is tighter. the president's lead now in georgia is less than 2,000 votes. in both pennsylvania and georgia joe biden appears to be narrowing the president's lead more and more with each new slice of votes that gets reported. again, on an unpredictable time frame. in the west joe biden leads in both arizona and nevada with most of the outstanding votes from democratic leaning counties. that said, the incoming vote in arizona including some just this past hour has seen president trump narrow the biden arizona lead. that said, the biden campaign expresses confidence tonight that they will end up winning in that state. we're watching it all unfold just as you are. we don't have any secret information. you're seeing everything that we see. all of this is live. there are no re-runs in this part of our coverage. let's head over to msnbc's steve kornacki. steve, i feel like even though this is really five states yet to be called a

joe's in pennsylvania. jill's in pennsylvania. doug's in pennsylvania. i'm in pennsylvania.ylvania. we're in pennsylvania. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are s

of pennsylvania law school. at me tell you that biden has big fund there at the university of pennsylvania and i don't know if he even went there. but the chinese are the people that gave him the money for that fund at the university of pennsylvania and my father would be turning over in his grave. secondly, pittsburgh. i used to live in pittsburgh. i love pittsburgh. oozing withtely people. you can barely get across the street. they had to put in new bridges. within a year of trump coming into got a $6,500 raise. anything that people say about trump didn't do this, nobody actually tells me what was the lie he told. host: are people saying that they are better off in pennsylvania than they were four years ago? don't think so and i'm not sure that even the president supporters are saying that i still think they look to the president as the one that can improve that situation. his success in 2016 was largely based on a message around change. he is in a lot of ways trying to repeat that message even though he's com

pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. >> right. you watch this.otes came in from bucks county. you come here in the philadelphia area, move up to the north of philadelphia, you see one of the suburban collar counties around philadelphia, this one more competitive. you see overall, 51-47. votes came in here. you noted joe biden stretched out the lead a bit. short time earlier, wolf, in the northern part of the state, president trump picked up a modest number of votes, counted several hundred votes, the president picked up a bit, 100 or so votes on joe biden. you saw in one of the counties. we have been saying even in the republican counties when we get mail ballots, joe biden is gaining. in that one, there was a modest gain for the president. a lot more live in bucks county. every time votes come in in philadelphia and suburbs around it, joe biden builds a lead. >> pennsylvania the lead for biden over trump is 9,746. let's look at how that increased. we have the numbers if you want to put them on the screen. this is coming in from bucks county. bid

trump takes pennsylvania. >> if donald trump is able to hold pennsylvania and the rest of the states he won four years ago, he's at 280. he stays president. here's where it gets tricky. if joe biden is able to pick off any of the southern states -- look here under the biden number. north carolina he gets to 273. trump gets north carolina. if he picks off georgia, 274. if joe biden can pick off florida the largest battle ground, 287, he becomes the next president. >> tom, nate, thank you. >>> let's look at the issues of election integrity. i want to bring in our legal lel panel, pierre thomas, dan abrams and kate shaw. pierre, let me begin with you. you were talking to homeland security and the fbi. what's their greatest concern about election day? >> george, with emotions running so high in a bitterly fought campaign against a back drop of racial tension and a pandemic law enforcement is feeling the stress. there's several concerns. there's a real worry about white supremacists, anti-government extremist and anarchists. there have been a number of suspected extremists placed under cl

state of pennsylvania.has been in the senate now for quite some time. senator casey, from the scranton area of pennsylvania. great to have you here. beingr casey, i remember with you in scranton in 2017 right after president trump was elected. even then, we were talking about 2020. pennsylvania was going to be a key state in the campaign. as you look at the results and reflect on the past campaign, where is pennsylvania right now politically speaking? sen. casey: it is very much a close estate as we can tell by the election results. donald trump won in 2016 by 0.7%. 44,292. i memorized that number. but now joe biden is winning by a similar margin, as we speak, on the unofficial count. about 47,000. that will grow and could hit as high as 80,000. it is a close state. what we have to recognize that going forward. we have to learn a lot on our side from 2020 if we are going to get ready for the 2022 election coming up, where we have a governor's race for an open seat, as well as an open seat for the u.s. senat

as much as they would like to win the other states, it's all about pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvaniamp campaign. there's no other way to look at it. picking up arizona, as much as they would like to pick up arizona, it's not as critically important as pennsylvania. >>> the keystone state it is called, and indeed a keystone to both candidates. david, first of all, we should say we have been reporting for weeks now democrats were voting overwhelmingly in paces like pennsylvania by mail and trump supporters were going to vote overwhelmingly on election day. we expected this to happen. we didn't know whether there were going to be enough votes for biden in these vote-by-mail ballots being counted now. tell us where we are in the process. >> we knew they were going to count the election day ballots first, then gelt to the mail-in pennsylvania. that trump lead now is at 108,772. yesterday morning that was like 600,000 vote advantage. it's down to 108,000. 52% for donald trump, 48.5% for joe biden, 92% of the estimated vote is in. you just saw senator casey on our air talking about how many

voters in pennsylvania. they showed up at the polls. that's why we have such a tight race. but the question is was it enough? >> like i said, the blue wave and the red wave -- they crashed into each other. >> a tight election. we will continue to follow it. we're going to pause in a moment here so that we can have other stations join us as we get ready for the top of the hour. but we are watching the votes come in. we are very close to resolution, perhaps, in pennsylvania, which is that all-important state. we still watch arizona, georgia, nevada, we have a lot to cover. let's take a pause here and thank you for being with us. we will rejoin you in just a moment. >>> hi, everybody, good morning again and it is 10:00 in the east and 7:00 a.m. in the west coast and in breaking news and special report and counting the vote counting in key battlegrounds this morning. if you just woke up in the west coast or sleeping in on the east coast because you were up late, there is a lot to tell you about. joe biden the fo

in pennsylvania in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, look at this, 163,000 mail-in ballots left. in any moment now we are expecting philadelphia could report the latest results, they had workers overnight, there was a shift change, but we are expecting results soon. right now in philadelphia they have 50,000 outstanding ballots, the update is expected, again, any moment now. then you look at georgia, 10,000 ballots left to count, we saw joe biden take the lead in georgia overnight. and then in arizona, maricopa county, populous county there in arizona, democratic stronghold, 204,000 early ballots left there in maricopa. the next update there should be coming at 11:00 a.m. in nevada, clark county, 51,000 ballots left in clark county, the home of las vegas, populous county there in nevada, democratic stronghold, next update there at 1:00 p.m. we are wcatching this closely. >> we will get back to you. john king, we are looking at this contest, you take a look at the popular vote nationwide, 91% of the vote is in and biden is beating trump by more than 4 million votes. >> and that li

we are going to win pennsylvania.ter, donald trump again expressed frustration at seeing his election night lead "miraculously disappear". but it was the counting of postal votes that shifted the numbers so dramatically — a process donald trump had told his supporters not to trust. but as results trickle in from other battleground states, the picture building isn't in his favour. in both nevada and arizona, joe biden‘s is head. joe biden‘s is ahead. georgia's results are so close that an automatic recount has been triggered, but it's unlikely it would change the result by more than a few hundred votes. donald trump has filed legal action in several states in an effort to turn his fortunes around, and there's no evidence of the widespread fraud that he alleges. the legal hurdles may create a bumpy path, butjoe biden increasingly seems to be on firm footing on his road to the white house. lebo diseko, bbc news, washington. there's nothing peculiar about donald trump tweeting, especially at such an uncertain time, but wh

we'll win pennsylvania. >> we'll see about pennsylvania. it likely won't be called for several more days. in some of the other states the former veep is leading by narrow margins, 8,000 votes in nevada. 20,000 in wisconsin. another development overnight after the president spoke and claimed victory as kristin just laid out, biden's campaign manager put out a pretty strong statement slamming those comments saying the president's statement tonight is trying to shut down the count of ballots was outrageous and incorrect. when i mentioned the movement could prompt remarks, remember with 238 tally that biden has going there. he only needs 32 more to get to that and we're up to 70 and behind me you have the secret service still having things locked down. there are no cars, no supporters out here but certainly the footprint of the secret service and protective detail here is such that quickly the vice president could take that stage behind me and perhaps declare victory or concession depending which way it goes. trace. >> trace: 32 to go, griff. a

>> so you showed us pennsylvania. we talked about pennsylvania. we've taken you to the ground. you've showed us michigan. i want to go to heidi pr. some top democrats are publicly expressing confidence in joe biden being able to pull off a victory there. explain why that is. >> biden is now decisively polling ahead by a narrow margin, but he is pulling ahead because the absentee vote numbers are starting to come in. we saw the epicenter of the blue wave in 2018 held in oakland county. some called it a pink wave because it was the suburban moms in oakland county, outside detroit. here's the big tell. there's still hundreds of thousands of the early absentee votes that are still out to be precise, we're seeing as they come in, that they are breaking about 60% in favor of joe biden. we are here in warren where we are just now getting final results in, unofficial results, but final results, and we are here in the heart of mccomb county, all-important swing district. i'm joined by congressman andy levin who represents this area. this important area mccomb county. thank you for takin

joe's in pennsylvania. jill's in pennsylvania. doug's in pennsylvania. i'm in pennsylvania. you're in pennsylvania! we're in pennsylvania! it's totally normal to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change

number one, do those ballots determine the outcome in pennsylvania and number two, does pennsylvania determine the outcome of the election? if the answer to both those questions is yes, i think the supreme court will hear the case. but still going to be an uphill battle for the trump campaign, because you're talking about literally discarding votes with the potential of it having the impact of winning the election. >> all right, you're going to be tracking for us in the days and weeks ahead. dan abrams tonight, thank you. >>> now to the bat until the south, georgia and north carolina. as you know, very close in both of those states. democrats with their strongest performance in many years there. the president ahead in both of those states. in georgia, the votes in key counties are still being counted. there have been some delays. i want to get to steve osunsami in atlanta tonight. steve, what are you learning? >> reporter: well, david, if biden were to win here, he would be accomplishing something that even president obama wasn't able to do twice here, and this is a state with a larg

joe biden is in pennsylvania while president trump is in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. events that the president is throwing is

i was so immersed in pennsylvania. i think it is pretty remarkable what's happened in the presidential race in georgia. i think that provides a really good foundation for the senate races. stacey abrams and so many others who work here for so many years, especially the loss couple of years, i think their work is born a lot of truth -- hasborne a lot of truth -- has borne a lot of truth. what is the reality for the senate in 2021? a leader mcconnell? do you actually have a real believe that something, a big ticket item, could be achieved? >> we would be better off if we win the two seats in georgia. we effectively have the majority. we want to get things then. we want to tackle the virus. we want to jump start the economy. we want to expand health care. confront climate change. so much we've got to do. if we are in the minority, even will be narrow, that difficult for the country, because leader mcconnell seems to believe by virtue of the last couple of years that the senate is a nomination machine and little else. i th

we've been talking about pennsylvania and president trump's focus on pennsylvania.resident trump wins the state of pennsylvania? even if he loses wisconsin, he's still at 270 votes. that's why florida is so important. it's a jump ball, it's a toss-up, it's within the margin of error. if joe biden wins florida, there is no way for president trump to win enough electoral votes which look viable at this present point in time. the difference between 2016 and 2020, different candidate on the democratic side and different states that are in play. i talked about florida. that's always a jump ball, that's always a toss-up. but right now democrats are looking at georgia, they're looking at nevada. they feel confident that nevada may flip their way. what happens if joe biden wins georgia, joe biden wins arizona? all of a sudden he starts rolling up actual electoral college. he's lengthening that lead a little bit. you add the state of florida, you add the state of north carolina. you saw biden go to ohio. the biden campaign is seeing something. if you're winning ohio, you're

pennsylvania is always close. so when the polls show a five or six point spread between donald trump and joe biden, that would be a big pennsylvania win. not a tight pennsylvania win. the other thing that's interesting about pennsylvania is that pennsylvania has no history of early voting. pennsylvania is always an election day voting state. this time, there have been about 2 million early votes which is highly unusual, but that's still less than other states around the concerned, which is why i imagine there's so much focus from the campaigns right now. >> there's so much focus from the campaigns, there's so much uncertainty surrounding pennsylvania, certainly right now. and that's why both campaigns are paying so much attention to the state on the eve of election day. jeff pointed out earlier that both joe biden and kamala harris and their spouses are barn storming the state, basically all corners, just underscoring how important the state is to former vice president joe biden's victory. he has emphasized his sc

we're talking about a lot of different states but we're focused in on pennsylvania because pennsylvania right now, although it's in the category of too close to call, there are 28,000 votes right now separating the candidates. we're waiting for 130,000 more votes to be counted. and the areas where these votes are coming from are trending 75%, i think that's a safe bet. 75% toward biden. so pennsylvania looking very good for joe biden right now. if joe biden wins pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, that gives joe biden the presidency. >> that puts him over the top. you've been get something numbers from steve kornacki. 5,587 is the difference. he received 27,000 votes in the latest batch that came in. >> so very, very slim margin. >> it's a slim margin. it's going to expand throughout the morning unless something radically happens with trend lines that would be like, for instance, my old district in pensacola, florida, giving joe biden 90% of the vote. wouldn't happen. never gonna happen. it's not going to happen in philly nor pittsburgh as well. we know based on voting history and

soon he will be in pennsylvania. democratic nominee joe biden is starting in ohio, will be ending in pennsylvania with a lady gaga concert. president obama is campaigning for biden again today, he is in georgia right now, a state that has consistently voted republican but is now in play for the democrats. so here we are. almost at the end. it is the last day of early voting in 22 states and district of columbia. more than 95 million americans have cast ballots. even before the ballots are counted, president trump is casting doubt about integrity of the vote, suggesting it could end up at the supreme court. either way the votes fall, people are worried. businesses in several cities are boarding up ahead of results. the white house is also preparing. a source telling cnn, a nonscaleable fence is expected to be put up, the same type of fence used earlier this summer during protests. we have reporters all across the trail. we have ryan nobles in scranton, pennsylvania. jessica dean near pittsburgh, jason carroll in atlan

should know that pennsylvania is a numbers game. 2016ry won pennsylvania in by 565,000 votes. 105 thousandn philadelphia. she started with a 460,000 vote lead. yes, there is corruption in philadelphia, but i'm telling you right now, president trump will have major, major support in the city. it is not just the downtown areas, it is not just certain sections. philadelphia is the largest voting bloc in the city, and everyone will come out and they will support president trump. one more thing to say, somebody needs to start talking about hunter biden's laptop. it is ridiculous that this is not getting attention. nbc, andnn, >> what is the likability factor for these two candidates in pennsylvania. guest: the likability factor is a little starker than it was in 2015. they called joe biden pennsylvania's third senator. he is very well-liked around here. donald trump is not. at the same time i think that falls under sampling that before they need to sample so i would not put too much stock into that. at the same time likability does matter. this is a bastion of political moderation. people here

and so do people in western pennsylvania, that why he will win pennsylvania. sean: how big is the energy no fossil fuel, no fracking issue in pennsylvania? >> it is -- joe biden said that, i knew it would be a death sentence for him. in western pennsylvania, wouldn'1 17,000 jobs are supported by, that we should not be towing is talk about raising people's taxes, and banning sectors of our economy when people in western pennsylvania are having a hard time putting food on the table in the middle of a pandemic, we should be unshackling our economy, like president trump is recommending, this one of many reason that people in western pennsylvania will support donald trump, and i think i'll win in november too but, i tell you president trump will win pennsylvania. enthusiasm for him here is like nothing i have seen before. i was with him yesterday, we had over a fast 50,000 people in small butler county western pennsylvania, they are crawling across broken glass to vote for this president, they tell their family and friends to do it too. sean: corey and dave, you bi

the eyes of the world pennsylvania. so all eyes on pennsylvania.n the united states with you jane, of course — and the uk's prime minister borisjohnson is among them. but in an interview he's just given, he didn't give us much further insight into what he thought about developments in the race for the white house. if i were a voter in america i don't think i'd want anybody in another government commenting on my election, our election in our country, and i think while the votes are being counted we should wait and see. and i have every confidence in the checks and balances of the american constitution. donald trump had been a big ally of yours. he backed you to be pm, he backed you over brexit, standing by you during probation. if he does go, would you miss him? look, i, let's be clear, the prime minister of the united kingdom is always going to work very, very closely with whoever is the prime minister, the president of the united states, and that's going to be the case whatever the outcome of this election and, sam, ijust i repeat my point. i don'

joe biden's running mate put her radical environmental agenda ahead of pennsylvania jobs, and pennsylvaniai promise you, on international trade we will jobs andt american american farmers first. on energy, so important pennsylvania, jobs in the state are in economic brutality. joe biden and kamala harris went to crash energy under the green new deal. would raise the cost of electricity for every home in every business in america. last year joe biden even told a group of coal miners they should learn to code if he became president. with president donald trump, we have stood for an all of the above energy strategy. we are now a net exporter of energy for the first time in 70 years. harris,biden and kamala they might be saying something different these days but the most is both of them spent all of last year talking about how they want to ban fracking and abolish fossil furor's. bending fracking -- abolish fossil fuels. it would destroy thousands of jobs in pennsylvania alone, and they said they would do it over and over again, until he showed up in pittsburgh a few weeks back and said the pr

pennsylvania as well. >> pennsylvania as well. and it's a bigger prize.e president of the united states cannot win without it. if he loses pennsylvania and georgia, we're done. the president needs both of those. pennsylvania and georgia. joe biden can get there even if the president wins them, mind you, joe biden has an easier path. but here we are. we're below 50,000 right now. 48,854. and we know starting here in the largest city of them all, largest vote area of them all, is philadelphia. and we know we're still waiting for more ballots here. >> only 89% of the vote in philadelphia is in. >> you're looking for another 10% of the vote to come in and he's getting 80% of the vote. he does not need 80% of the rest of the votes out statewide but he's been getting consistently, joe biden has, 80% or more of the count in philadelphia. just going back through my notes just to make sure i have this right. in pennsylvania earlier. there have been votes since then. earlier in the night joe biden needed just shy of 63%. he has passed that several times since. i ke

, in western pennsylvania., well, every vote that we lose in western pennsylvania democrats, he would say, we will gain two in the philadelphia suburb. it didn't quite work out that way for democrats in 2016. clinton won but she didn't win by the margins democrats were hoping for. one of the things you see, let's take a look at montgomery county, the philadelphia suburbs, the heart of it. joe biden leading here by 26 points and you see it is an increase. it was 22, now it's 26. that is the kind of growth democrats were hoping for. look, it was 10 in chester county, now it's 16 1/2 with biden over trump. these are getting closer to the margins the democrats wanted four years ago and they're getting this time. this is the suburbs. part of this, a big key ingredient is women. there is a gender gap here. you're seeing it in the philadelphia suburbs. another place you're seeing it that we are looking at tonight for results is in georgia and in the atlanta metro area in particular. i mean, these nine counties that ar

thisg you all come out on bridge, pennsylvania, november, today, i know pennsylvania will say yes tore years. all to do just like you do. the of the need keystone state to show america that pennsylvania is trump country. now, it's great to be here with all of you, it really is. what's also great is what you have shared today with the dr. who worked at the naval hospital during the gulf war and came home to altoona to practice medicine for 25 years. and then he felt the call. i can tell you, he has emerged as one of the strongest allies of president trump and our agenda on capitol hill. would you all join me in thanking congressman and dr. john joyce? what a great day. i know you all were here the day before election day for the same reason. to talk about all we've done. to talk about the choices we face. one more day, four more years. think about that. four years ago we inherited a military that had been hollowed out. an economy struggling to break up. from a great recession. we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values. in three short years we rebuilt the military. rev

and pennsylvania, this is just a fascinating race to watch in pennsylvania. president trump ahead with 135,072 votes, but a lot of votes still to be counted. a lot of votes still to be processed. and his lead has been shrinking, even today throughout the morning we've been seeing the president's lead come down little by little, 5,000 votes here. 6,000 votes there. we'll see how many votes have left to be counted p. we'll see who wins the all-important state of pennsylvania, if vice president biden wins pennsylvania, that could be it. that's the shape of the battlefield right now. remember it is changing by the moment. john king is here to walk us through all of it. the race tightening in three crucial states, pennsylvania, arizona, georgia. take us through it. >> let's walk through it as you noted. today could be the decisive day, joe biden needs to get to 270 to win the presidency. i'll start in pennsylvania, that alone would do it if joe biden can overtake the president. the president had a bigger lead, midnight tuesday night, it was giant, yesterday it was

in pennsylvania right now. that's the big prize. 20 electoral votes. 96% offest sh esthe estimated v. biden has 49.5%. trump has 49.2%. in georgia right now, 99%. almost all of the votes are in. 16 ooelectoral votes. 4, 273. 49.4%. 49.3% for trump. those are the key battleground states. john, let's go through those four states right now. tell us what we're waiting for. let's review because this is a ball game right now. >> this is the ball game and could be the decisive night friday night. the election was tuesday. let's start in the biggest prize on the board. pennsylvania, 20 electoral votes. donald trump must win it to stay many the hunt for re-election. must win it. the president has to win this state. joe biden doesn't need it but if he wins it, pennsylvania would put him over the top. you see a joe biden lead of 16,784 votes. at 9:00 this lead was 5,500 votes. joe biden has been growing his lead but steadily and consistently throughout the day. joe biden is winning the county and he's been getting even hi

[laughter] thank you very much. we love you, we love you, we love you, we love you, we love you. >> that is really nice. do not make me cry. i will cry with that. [laught

and the ballots in pennsylvania. first, pennsylvania would have to be determinative.if biden wins wisconsin and michigan and nevada and arizona, he doesn't need pennsylvania. so pennsylvania is not a key. if pennsylvania turns out to be a key, then this is an issue of the burden of proof, savannah. the way the pennsylvania supreme court found the case was there is a presumption that the ballot was sent in a timely basis. that's the essence of what the legal challenge would be. is that burden of proof, should it be shifted to prove you didn't mail it as opposed to having to prove that you did mail it before election day. or on election day. >> we want to check on those numbersin pennsylvan in numbers. fishs -- first you have numbers coming in from wisconsin? >> look at this. we now only think there is 100,000 votes remaining we have biden up 20,000 votes so his lead has basically doubled. this is shrinking. it's going to be less than 1% but i will tell you this, the question will be is what you guys are going to ask, what are the recount procedures? well, luckily, we h

. >> pennsylvania is so critical. if they can take twhhat away fr president trump, it all but ends his path to re-election. >> republicans are wanting to vote on election day in person. so we feel very strong that we have a surge coming. >> the president is not going to steal this election. >> i think it's a terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election. >>> if the president loses this election in a tight, tight vote count, they're going to try to fight this out in the courts. >> we need a president that will be a president for all americans. gept yo get your vote in, these votes matter. and election conditions decided on small margins. >> welcome to the united states and all around the world. this is a special edition of "new day." it is monday, november 2nd, it is 6:00 here in new york. why is it special? exactly 36 hours until the first polls close in america. the voting is very nearly over. and a reminder, we will not know a winner until the votes are counted, no matter what anyone says. that's no

pennsylvania and georgia.o help break it all down for us, we are joined by cbs evening news anchor norah o'donnell and senior political analyst and "60 minutes" correspondent john dickerson. welcome, welcome to you both. remember at the beginning of the week on tuesday, election night, we were all calling it a big puzzle. we were all putting the puzzle pieces together. waiting for the puzzle pieces. we have a big piece of that puzzle as we sit here right now. >> i'm going to let john address because it was his metaphor about the puzzle. >> once you get into those metaphors you can break a wrist trying to keep them going. >> if you are just waking up, significant developments. overnight joe biden taking the lead in georgia in part with some of the votes coming in from john lewis' district. an historical significance. >> something poetic about that. >> and then, of course, in pennsylvania, joe biden taking the lead. at cbs news, we are not projecting the race at this point, nor are we projecting any of the battl

pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. the rest of america is probably saying why is everybody talking about pennsylvania. it could welcome down to pennsylvania and 20 electoral votes. joe biden will be in the western part of the state later today. so is the president. butler county, this is one of the super counties, trump thinks he can gin upturnout to overcome early voting. 2016, 66% to 29%. more importantly, 64,000 votes to 28,000 votes. there are counties in your state and around america where the president thinks he can juice it up, super trump counties. what's happening in western pennsylvania on the ground. polls show a five or six point biden lead. do you believe them? >> i do. hard to say how big the lead is, but what i have seen consistently across the last six months or so is that joe biden is talking about the actual problems in our community, things that are happening in real life to people here who have family members in nursing homes and are worried about covid, who lost jobs, who have seen construction pro

i am worried about pennsylvania. counting the votes, simple and dimpled and perforated, i am worried about pennsylvania. >> china gave us the virus, the virus gave the democrats an edge, democrats used that edge to push through mail in voting, mail in voting gives us perhaps an election result that otherwise would not have occurred. >> changing deadlines. >> that's what we are seeing in the united states of america.

we are going to win pennsylvania. >> a victory in pennsylvania.is not based on gut or feel but en masse. >> both presidential campaign think they will claim the keystone state with hundreds of thousands of ballots still to count. the deadline for mail in ballots is friday. >> fred keller, thank you for being here. let's break this down. you saw in the graphic the president is in pennsylvania by 164,000 votes. the department of state says there are 763,000 mail in ballots still to be counted. if you break it down in the bigger areas in pennsylvania, pittsburgh specifically, they have 43,000 in allegheny county, in philadelphia they have 120,000 ballots to be counted, philadelphia very democratic, do you think pennsylvania will stay red? >> i think the, willfully in the paper for the president, there are other counties that have ballots to count, there are areas that will be more heavily for the president and those ballots would help the president. todd: why is there such a delay when states like florida that are big can get their act together on el

pennsylvania and georgia may be become the fallback just in case.at joe biden has multiple pass to get to 270 whereas president trump has one path, only through pennsylvania and that's why you see him fighting so desperately to cling there and not allow those votes to be counted. he challenges results everywhere else because he doesn't have any option. this is the only way you can try to keep the math alive, if not the vote. ifjoe biden gets one of the pairs, he does not need the other pair to get to 270? that is exactly right. whatever happens, there will be many of people, millions and millions of people who are going to be opposed to the result, whoever wins and it seems millions and millions of people who will think that the process possibly the whole structure of democracy in the united states, is broken. how to reconcile with those people? i think it starts with the speech that joe biden gave today. a conciliatory tone, not an arrogant one. one that talks about unity and creating unity not one looking to stoke more and more division, so, i thi

you asked about pennsylvania. we feel good about pennsylvania. but it is going to be close. and there is a path to 270 for our campaign without pennsylvania. but we are playing to win. >> is georgia a part of that path to 270 without pennsylvania? >> absolutely, absolutely. in georgia, over the last three days of early vote, we saw a 67% increase in african-american voters who voted early in the last three days. that says to me that there's enthusiasm on the ground, andrea. and there's enthusiasm for our campaign. as you know, vice president biden, former president obama, and senator kamala harris were all campaigning in georgia. your reporter, i just saw, was in duluth, senator harris was there on sunday. we feel good about our options in georgia and feel like we can win georgia. we don't have to win georgia but we believe it's in play. voters, when they go to the ballot box and check that box for joe biden and kamala harris, but also check that box for jon ossoff and reverend rafael wa warnock. >> there is some complaining that you guys were not competing actively enough i
