pennsylvania. or a combination of wisconsin, and nevada or nebraska to maine. tell us -- look at robert with you, pennsylvania, you have president up by 2. let's look at michigan, wisconsin. and those and maybe minnesota? >> well, we -- i loo look at pennsylvania, i hung h i think a win by 4 or 5. that is the margin he needs in pennsylvania to survive. sean: you are saying that he will win, but they will steal it? >> i am saying he better win by 4 or 5% to make sure he gets victory there. that is the margin he needs to avoid what they will systematically do. sean: i have been told, poll watchers and lawyers on ground, both sides. of those pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, minnesota, what states do you have him up in? >> we have him up in michigan, down a little bit in wisconsin, but we will put out another wisconsin poll tomorrow or first thing tuesday morning. -- minnesota we have him a little bit down, but kanye with 3.3% of the vote, without kanye he is winning minnesota, but with kanye it is different, i think when can questio kanye ped up with president, w

donald trump is president because of pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. ident if he holds the clinton states on this map and wins pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. there are grander plans maybe. maybe the voters will decide otherwise. if you're in the biden campaign, the bread and butter is to get those back. that's the question in the final days. you see the polls. narrowing in pennsylvania. healthy lead in pennsylvania. can joe biden turn out voters. african americans in philadelphia, and the suburbs. the red, donald trump won those counties hugely. that's a challenge there. and you move over to michigan. can joe biden take back mccomb county north of detroit up here. the awe thouuto industry, and c turn out african americans in higher numbers than hillary clinton did here. wayne county in detroit. that's the challenge in the final days of the campaign. watch the schedule. both candidates know pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan will decide the election. >> joe biden will shut down your economy. wipe out your factories and shut down your state. ship y

we still cannot get a clear picture of pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, north carolina and georgia. substantial numbers of votes are still uncounted. several million in pennsylvania alone. right now in the race to 270 electoral votes. president trump leads narrowly, 213 to 207. in each of these states, we should thank those volunteers, those poll workers who worked in the midst of a pandemic. more concerned about democracy than perhaps their own health. making sure there's someone to count these ballots and saying late into the night. to make sure everybody's vote counts. and that is the greatness of democracy, the great country that we live in that people are willing to do that and the patience that it takes to wait for that vote to be counted. many of us lived through the year 2000 where it took some time. ultimately it was a -- a decision was made through the supreme court about whether to count those ballots. we have a process where this will take days or weeks as it sorts through so every vote gets counted. >> and that process is in place to ensure that every vote gets counted.

that is happening in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia, and others. while, joe biden is optimistic. to biden: we are on track win this election. we are feeling real good about wisconsin and michigan. [horns honking] mr. biden: by the way, it will take time to count votes, we are going to win pennsylvania. ritika: biden made his potential paths of the white house a little easier by winning arizona, the third state he has won that president trump took in 2016. democrat have taken -- control of the senate is slipping away as several republican incumbents won. almost everything would have to go right for the democrats in the undecided seats for them to win a majority. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more i'm ritikauntries, gupta. this is bloomberg. markets right now, futures are red and green as well. 35.15. at out of milwaukee, the election director saying wisconsin adding a 6:00 a.m. announcement. in the votto, it is close and we have 85% of the vote -- in nevada, it is

big three, michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania, i think michigan and wisconsin, biden is in reallyood shape. think, you know, i do not -- people keep talking about a contested election. i think the contested elections will be in the senate, where there will be legal hand-to-hand combat over a bunch of these senate seats when we get past november 3. host: let's get alan in on the conversation. he is in fulton, mississippi. hello. caller: thank you for taking my call. i would like to make a comment, if i may. host: please do. caller: i am a supporter of president trump. and i am totally against biden for this reason. smoking gun hanging over his taking $3his son and $1 of a contract million a year salary. thisbi has not acted on for some unknown reason. -- if this proves to be true and the people who have got all the evidence is putin, the other oil company where his board,ked, or sat on the and also china. if this man, biden, is elected, compromised by three of the biggest countries in the world. host: thank you, alan. charlie cook, one of the viewpoints there a trump supporter. my

important to keep in mind that the biden campaign, of those three midwestern states, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvaniaf this hour, they feel quite confident about wisconsin and think the vote totals are very much in biden's favor. >> and yamiche, the nbc news exit poll shows that support for biden reached a new low among black men this year. only 80% of black men supported biden, slightly down from hillary clinton's level of support in 2016, significantly down from obama's level of support from 2012 and in 2008. i understand the vote in philadelphia, they're still counting, but that that's not going to be a great outcome either from philadelphia. >> that's right, and there are differences between black men and black women in terms of how they view this election, in terms of their tolerance, critics of the president would say, for misogyny, for statements that are at times sexist, again, from critics of the president. that being said, focusing on african-american voters is only one part of this picture. when you see the president being able to run up his numbers with white voters, with noncollege educa

pennsylvania, georgia, arizona as well. it is a tight race. this is how those results to now on the map with wisconsinichigan now turning blue. the states still in play are in yellow, georgia, north carolina, nevada, and pennsylvania. joe biden just need six electoral college votes to with --win. let's bring in an associate professor of political science at howard university joining us via skype. good to be with us. what is your reaction and in the way you see the current state of the race. we have michigan going to biden but the trump campaign is lawyering up wanting to take this to the circuitry -- supreme court. are we headed for a long battle? >> i do not think about it will be as long as it is purported to be. when you look at the last few states to come in, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, the states came in the way that they did because yet to be counted vote speak -- came from democratic strongholds. it stands to reason joe biden would overtake work could overtake trump in those states. it is not over. it is possible though not likely joe biden could end up winning georgia, which in addition

as tom said, pennsylvania has not bumped up to a 7 or 8-point lead for biden like we see in michigan and wisconsin. it's 5 points. it's not a big early voting state. a lot of votes haven't been cast in pennsylvania. there's some provisions about a naked ballot, a security envelope. that could make things more complicated. you could have the courts involved. you have protests in philadelphia. there's lots of stuff going on. maybe a lot of things add up and biden loses pennsylvania. then he doesn't pull off arizona. he does have other options. north carolina is a state where -- obama won it in '08. it looked very similar then nationally ment that could be a problem for the gop. without pennsylvania biden becomes an underdog. >> let's look at those options with tom llamas. let's look at the path to 270. tom, the clearest path to 270 is joe biden flipping the blue states in the northern tier. >> that's right, george. this is the map on election night four years ago. if joe biden is able to flip that blue wall that collapsed four years ago, look at his electoral totals there. wisconsin, michigan and pe

north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. idential nominees with final day focus on the commonwealth of pennsylvania. former president, barack obama, helping democrats with turnout voter stops in georgia and florida. the early vote number is remarkable. it is enormous. ballots cast so far, 95 plus million. it is important to remember those record numbers are not just votes for president but important votes for senate, for the house, for statehouses, for ballot initiatives, judges, and

pennsylvania like wisconsin as been dealing with this. redrawn by ae court order. there are three republican held districts in pennsylvania. 12 and 2018. the districts were state house of -- republican districts flipped in 2018. state house representatives have remained largely intact. i don't think we have seen a lot of effort the area to redraw them. there is some gerrymandering going on there. that has been to the benefit of republicans at the statehouse. i don't think it is unique to the republican party in pennsylvania or anywhere else. host: undecided, ned? caller: hi. it is getting interesting out there. the whole fracking thing getting worked out there in pennsylvania, the industry is actually shifting over to start using geothermal technology. hopefully that might have that might affect people's voting outcome if that is an issue for them. i wanted to bring one thing up you are not talking about. i think we need to focus on with the pandemic surging in all the hospitals across the nation going to be overwhelmed with facilities, we are under attack from russ

those include battleground states like michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin.rnia, as long as your ballad is postmarked by today, election day, your vote will be counted. it has to arrive at the county registrar's office by november 20, that is in california. we have talked a lot about tracking your ballad with the states new where is my ballot tool. we have learned that there is actually a lag, sometimes by several days. before you are notified that your ballad has arrived, it may take a few days before you get that alert. the secretary of state says don't panic. he has also advised other states to be honest and open about counting those mail-in ballots. >> my best advice has been to be very transparent and outspoken as to the process. what exactly is going on behind the scenes, whether it is the verification process and why it's timely, whether it's the valid auditing process and why it is important and to the best of our ability keep updating the numbers or at least to the estimates of how many ballots remain to be processed. >> a little perspective here, it

too big to my mind to see a clean victory in pennsylvania. wisconsin may be a more complicated story and there's some people that still think there is a path there but, man, those are big margins to make up and it would just have to be enormous numbers of early votes that are basically all democrat. 75%, 80% for joe biden to be able to make up that gap. >> the question i asked nate silver. we saw joe biden had about an 8.4% lead according to polling averages in wisconsin, about the same in michigan, not quite that much in pennsylvania, whatever happens right now, it looks like it will be much closer than that so might have had a systemic polling error again? >> a bigger one than 2016. the best early read i would have is that we didn't pick up the surge in trump voters. there were a lot of new biden voters but they were met at almost every turn by new trump voters and that helped hold down some of the marriagesens. it helped even hold on to a lot of so-called pivot county, the ones that went obama and trump. president trump found new voters in this elec

sumi: that's right, the upper midwestern states like pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. these are states that joe biden's campaign spent days and several hours in the last few days campaigning, knowing they're crucial states, particularly pennsylvania. for viewers unfamiliar with the electoral college vote count, pennsylvania has 20 votes, a crucial state for both candidates to win and really as you said, joe biden was trying to pick back -- take back these states for the democrats. these were in the past traditionally democratic states but in the last election went for donald trump. i have to say that even though joe biden's team would be happy to say that wisconsin has been called in his favor, this isn't, brent, the result or the election they were looking for. let's be honest about that. they were hoping for a far larger win, a far larger lead at this point. and they were hoping that voters would go to the polls and cast their ballots in a referendum on president trump to rebuke his policy, as they would call mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic, his rhetoric, di

pennsylvania and the midwest, obviously we've talked a ton about the industrial midwest, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. we will start with pennsylvania. obviously this was the stunner letting everybody know that president trump was shattering the blue wall in 2016. this will take time to find final results. nine counties aren't likely to count their abs tease until wednesday. we will have to take our time here but it will be most interesting to see obviously hillary clinton had great strength in the philadelphia area and the suburbs, great strength in allegheny county and yet president trump was still able to win. why? western pennsylvania. the margins he was running up, county after county after county were margins that republicans had never seen before even in republican counties. also attention -- >> phil, i just want to -- sorry

the other ones we have been talking about for the past few years -- shaken, pennsylvania, wisconsin -- pennsylvania is particularly -- michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin -- pennsylvania is interesting because it has already had elections with ballots from mailing voters. a number of ballots did not go about people on time, 30,000 i think. they have been really interesting questions that leave room for either side to contest the outcome, and it is an important, ballot rich, electoral college rich state. there is likely to be a lot of conflict. tom: you are from pittsburgh. you know pennsylvania likely back of your hand. spanning from pittsburgh to writer from the new york times this weekend saying how important your read, pennsylvania -- about how pennsylvania,, is. who counts the votes there? amy: that is a good question. you still have the county board of supervisors who were going to be counting votes. i was really, shocked to see this over the weekend. the pittsburgh post-gazette -- pittsburgh has historically been a strongly blue-collar democrat town, and pittsburgh post-gazette en

carry all of those states to stay in contention for 270, the action would shift to pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, those traditionally blue states that trump flipped by the skin of his teeth in 2016. mail-in ballots could take a while in pennsylvania, maybe some time to get a result in michigan and wisconsin. the president would need to survive all these states we just mentioned and pick off at least one here. that's where it could take a while. again, there's all sorts of different permutations here. this weekend, as we mentioned, both campaigns blitzing all of these key battlegrounds. nbc political reporter ali vitale is in philadelphia following the biden campaign. shannu you are at ap live rally, the president really focusing in on florida. what's the message he's bringing out there and what's his campaign saying about how they look at polls showing him eight, nine, ten points behind? >> reporter: it's no accident that one of his last rallies is taking place here in miami-dade county. about 60% of the population identifies as hispanic. the trump campaign has been talking about how they see th

the upper midwest is key for both candidates, of course the president trying to hold on to pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. joe biden, of course, focusing on pennsylvania, but with a quick detour here in ohio. he thinks there is an opportunity to win this pivotal battleground state. one thing on counting these votes we should point out, the president talked so much about that yesterday. it is the republican legislatures in many of these states that did not change the law in the era of this pandemic. that is why they cannot open those ballots and process them early. it has nothing to do with democratic officials in these states. heading into the next 24 hours, that's important to remember. as john said, every vote counts if it was cast a month ago or cast tomorrow. >> thank you very much, jeff. >>> joining us now, cnn political commentary commentary louis. >> give us a state of the race. >> i'm certainly keeping an eye on pennsylvania as everyone should be. it's a huge part of trump's plan to get reelected. if he can't flip pennsylvania, it's very hard to see how he gets reelected frankly. al

pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. right? one, two, gets to the finish line, you don't absolutely need pennsylvania. if you win maine's 2nd congressional district, win nebraska's 2nd congressional district and hold arizona, you can do it without florida, without georgia, without north carolina, without ohio, and without pennsylvania. but you have to win these two. but if you can win this as well, then it's game over. we've always known if joe biden could rebuild the blue wall, forgive me, donald trump would pay for it. the question is can he make it happen? when right now if you look over here, begin, we're early, democrats get -- this is where democrats get nervous because they remember 2016. we cannot emphasize enough we're nowhere close to the finish line in any of those states. pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. we need to count votes and some of those counts could take until tomorrow but we talked earlier about joe biden having the more menu options. sol some of the menu options appear to be closing. we're not done ye

that's right these are the upper midwestern states like pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan and these are states that joe biden's campaign spent days several hours in the last few days as well campaigning knowing that these are crucial states particularly pennsylvania for viewers who are not familiar with the electoral college vote count there pennsylvania's 20 votes so that is a crucial state for both candidates to win and and really as you said joe biden is trying to pick back to take back the states for the democrats these were in the past traditionally democratic states by the last election they went for donald trump i have to say that even though joe joe biden's team would be happy to say that wisconsin has now been called in his favor this isn't the result or the election that they were looking for let's be honest and not that i mean they were hoping for a far larger win a far larger lead here at this point and they were hoping that the voters would go to the polls and cast their ballots in a way in a referendum on president trying to rebuke his policy his as they would say mism

majority of the work we did these of the voters was done in places like florida north carolina pennsylvania wisconsin and arizona we made a massive investment into the african-american community in pennsylvania to the tune of almost $2000000.00 we understood early on probably in late september that north carolina and florida were going away from us and go in towards donald trump and so we pulled our resources out of there then we put them into pennsylvania we put them into wisconsin we put them into georgia and to arizona and so what i would say is that the vast majority of what we get attention for is going after the president putting him on the defensive cutting off his axes of attack on joe biden and going into those places where we need to move through what percent republican that went way way way let me just say this with what no one's going to be more surprised no one was no more surprised than me at just how deeply and broadly donald trump has not only affected the republican party but how he was able to drive turnout among it look i'm the 1st person to admit that i thought that tens of millio

he writes that trump is now pursuing legal challenges in pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona, and nevada and there will be a recount in georgia given biden's 2.9% lead. mitch mcconnell is correct that trump is 100% in his rights to go to court over concerns about fraud and transparency. the president's efforts are likely -- unlikely to move a --,le state from biden's, -- column. the 1974 to half your senate race, 2000 four washington governors contest, and the 2008 minnesota senate election. this, tv by saying networks showed jubilant crowds in many cities celebrating mr. biden's victory. they didn't show people who mourned trump's defeat. u.s. politics remains polarized and venomous. closing out this election will be a hard but necessary step to restoring and equilibrium. the present should do his part to unite the country by leading a trip -- a peaceful transition and letting grievances go. the opinion of karl rove in the wall street journal. republicans only this first hour, should president trump concede? 202-748-8001 if your answer is no. the headline about georgia, georg

too close to call i'll repeat them we're going to repeat them every hour going forward here pennsylvania wisconsin michigan also georgia arizona and nevada and they are still counting and some of these states the numbers are changing a little by little as vote counting is wrapping up for example in some both states like wisconsin but we do really have to wait for official word on the winner there i mean these are battleground states a lot of experts predicted they would end up being tight races so the fact that we don't have a clear winner right now that's not shocking but despite the situation still being very much in flux former vice president joe biden's campaign has been has been expressing confidence that his campaign manager jennifer o'malley dillon spoke to the media earlier saying she believes that joe biden is on track to win and that he has a clear path to victory this is what she said you know we expect as i said to see over the course of today as more michigan comes and has more georgia comes and these races in these states be finalized we think most of them will close to be being able

now all eyes are on wisconsin, pennsylvania, north carolina, nevada, and georgia.ds to get to that 270 mark, whatever his opponent says. we will win this. and as far as i'm concerned we already have won it. and echoing the president's call for counting of votes to now stop, these trump supporters called for a halt at this count in detroit, michigan. show me what democracy looks like! this is what democracy looks like! that has caused counter protests across the country from democrats — with their message being to protect the vote. donald trump is adamant there are serious questions to answer about the handling of this election. it may be that the courts do get involved, but for now the feeling is that the colour of victory that at first looked trump red may now be turning a biden blue. mark lobel, bbc news. let's look at some live pictures now from georgia where ballots are being counted. the director there said they will finish tonight and take as long as it takes. it is a republican stronghold in the trump campaign has launched legal action accusing democrats of

us supreme court issued rulings on wisconsin that were favourable to president trump prior to the election. now president trump is failing new appeals on pennsylvania have some pictures coming in here of live counting in georgia. in some of these days it was republican—controlled legislatures that decreed that ballots should not be counted until election day orjust before, wasn‘t it, what are the chances of some of these challenges proceeding or succeeding? well, you can never fully predict what will happen toa fully predict what will happen to a lawsuit, but i‘d give the chances of succeeding very low for this reason. in the year 2000 the united states supreme court ruled a case that we are 110w court ruled a case that we are now familiar with called bush versus gore. we may remember phrases like hanging chad, side—by—side, upside down child, what that stood for is the proposition that when a state legislature creates a law and that the state election counting follows that law the federal courts cannot intervene u nless federal courts cannot intervene unless the counting of ballots is discriminatory against people on the basis of race or youth or

and this area, the midwest and pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvaniathe so—called blue well. that is what hillary clinton called it in 2016, and donald trump managed to smash that's blue well and we are now seeing that blue wall of blue wave return here. in pennsylvania if joe biden does in fact when the state of the commonwealth. i do also wa nt to state of the commonwealth. i do also want to point out to our viewers how significant philadelphia is. it is the birthplace of american democracy. this is where the declaration of independence happened in 1776. this is also where the constitutional convention happened in 1787. so, the fact that democracy is being played out here in pennsylvania is incredibly significant. that was yalda hakim live in pennsylvania in the latest reports we are getting a saying that joe biden is ahead there. you're watching bbc news. just an update on where we are at the moment. counting is still continuing the key battleground states in this us election and we understand that a recount has been confirmed to be taking place in

john: the election hinges on the critical background state of pennsylvania, wisconsin and nevada. time ago, we got an update from pennsylvania that over 1 million mail ballots have been counted with 1.4 million ballots remain, half of the mail in ballots with advance to joe biden, would have been possible for donald trump to win reelection without florida, donald trump is done that. joe biden scored badly in miami-dade county, the margin of victory larger than 2016, the president won ohio and texas, the path to reelection hit a snag, before any media outlet so joe biden won arizona, the first day trump has lost 2 won in 2016. he thinks he will win the election. something the president's criticism of john mccain. and biden needs 30 more electoral votes. it may be a while before we know how he is going to win. pennsylvania will not be known for more days forcing in excruciating weight. officials say 2 million ballots still being counted. in the midwest, a state a republican has won since richard nixon in 1972. hillary clinton won by one.5% four years ago, estate trump hoped to take o

joe biden let's take a look at the next graphic and of course i'm talking about michigan wisconsin and pennsylvania sure the numbers in michigan at this hour joe biden has about 45 point one percent of the vote donald trump leading with 53.3 percent were 72 percent of the votes counted joe biden thought he could do well in this state because all the polls were indicating that trump was underperforming with some of the working class voters in that town but that remains to be seen he said look at the next graphic the state of wisconsin of course one of the 3 states that donald trump was able to win back in 2016 by a razor thin margin donald trump won those 3 states again for the 1st time in about 3 decades joe biden in wisconsin with 92 percent of the votes coming in is behind donald trump by 47.2 percent to 51.3 percent the next graphic we'll show you is pennsylvania which is going to be absolutely critical to who wins the election tonight. donald trump you see here with a sizable lead with 64 percent percent of the votes coming in he's got a little over 56 percent to joe biden close to 48 percent w

we'll be talking arizona, wisconsin, michigan, and really pennsylvania, the second congressional district in nebraska, which i'm going to try to get a readout on in a minute here. >> steve, before you go to the second congressional district in nebraska, can we go to wisconsin and see what we've got in terms of wisconsin vote so far? >> you got it. let's take a look to live election -- there's ohio -- let's make our way up to wisconsin. here we go. about 30% of the vote is in in wisconsin right now. let's see if we got more in brown county. we're sitting on the same number in brown county. okay, this is an interesting -- and, again, in witnesconsin, we expecting these votes to be mixed. the wide swings, talking about a lot of mixes probably coming in. sorry, what's that? my producer just -- oh, can i tell you -- let me put a pause on this. >> yeah. >> because we just got the votes from maricopa county, arizona. >> oh. >> and this is a big thing in arizona. when they report them out, they report a ton of them out. here we go. we got over 2 million votes. >> wow. >> in arizona. okay. biden l

counting is still taking place in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia, and others. stic. mr. biden: we believe we are on track to win this election. we are feeling real good about wisconsin and michigan. [car horns] and by the way, it is going to take time to count the votes. we are going to win pennsylvania. thoseboth -- ritika: candidates still have a path to victory. joe biden made his a little easier by winning arizona, the first state he has won that president trump took in 2016. the democrats had hopes of recapturing the senate, but those hopes have diminished. republicans now hold a 53-47 senate advantage, and almost everything would have to go right for the democrats in the undecided seats for them to win a majority. global news 24 hours a day, on air and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm ritika gupta. this is bloomberg. ♪ sen. mcconnell: our country is going to get back on our feet. our nation has real challenges and real adversaries. but our fellow citizens are not our enemies. there i

georgia and north carolina in the south nevada in the west and pennsylvania in the northeast donald trump's demanding a recount in wisconsin which has gone to biden after a very. race and there's now less than one percent between them we're still waiting on pennsylvania the states where joe biden was born of course donald trump is still in the lead there 'd but the remaining mail in ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh and the suburbs giving biden a good chance to catch up trump as father lawsuit here to calling for an end to the counting of mail in ballots in pennsylvania north carolina meanwhile is one of several states where trump has claimed victory but the results there is still too close to call and then mail in ballots postmarked by election day are accepted until november 12th georgia now and no results from further south in georgia donald trump's initial lead has been steadily falling most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic of the 5 remaining states biden would only need to cling on to nevada to claim victory if you know 6 e

>> well, of those four states, the bottom two, pennsylvania, wisconsin, they're going to count their votes later. we know that with the mail-in. arizona is a little late in the time zone, so the answer to that is easy. it's florida. we have a pretty good sense that polls will close 7:00 eastern for the state, 8:00 in the panhandle. we'll get a pretty good sense because they've been counting that mail-in vote for three weeks. if florida goes, there's no doubt that it is all over for trump, and i think what's really interesting about these four states, and the "times" wrote about this today, those nonparticipant 2016 voters are overwhelmingly in those four polls biden supporters, not trump supporters. trump's entire strategy was based on finding like-minded trump voters that didn't participate in 2016. it appears as if a lot of this n -- these nonvoting 2016 participants are voting, but they're voting for joe biden. >> robert gibbs, thank you so much. >>> my next guest is in a senate race that could change the course of history in a deep southern state. but first, let's have a listen t

well, he wins pennsylvania and he wins michigan, guess what? that's it. he can lose wisconsin. ich we won't have an answer to for a couple of hours. if he wins nevada, donald trump's pathway gets noticeably easier. wins pennsylvania where he's up. not making any declarations, just saying michigan, pennsylvania, or biden wins michigan, biden wins wisconsin, donald trump wins georgia and all of a sudden georgia, pennsylvania, within reach, and nevada and donald trump is over 270 electoral votes. that's not where it's going, i'm just saying nevada could throw a huge wrench into the biden campaign's plans. that's where things stand. you see late vote come in in clark county. that has narrowed joe biden's lead. leading by a percentage point, 11,000 votes. we've been talking about wisconsin, michigan. waiting for pennsylvania. still waiting for georgia. nevada just threw us a little bit of a curveball. wait to see how that plays out in the next couple of hours. >> what are we waiting on in nevada? how much more outstanding are we looking at and what could it mean? >> about 85% reporti

pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, north carolina and georgia. ill counting ballots out in the west as well. nevada and california among them. at this point, the race is not over. you see here in pennsylvania, the president has a lead with about three quarters of the vote in, but democrats believe there is still much of the vote outstanding. many of the millions of ballots cast early are among those they believe are still out there. much the same in wisconsin and michigan. >> we're rounding 3:00 a.m. in the east,

pennsylvania. >>> meanwhile wisconsin has finished its recount and confirmed joe biden's win over president trump. dayton county was the last county to finish the recount. it reported a 45-vote gain for the president. the much bigger outstanding county of milwaukee reported its results on friday with 132 vote gain for biden. the bottom line is the former vice president won the state by more than 20,000 votes. >>> president trump's campaign has vowed to challenge the recount. >>> well tonight the biden- harris transition team is making history by naming the first ever all-female team. the group of seven includes former obama communication director jen saki. house speaker nancy pelosi's

somewhere in the ballpark, not exact science but looking at pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, maybe iowa and one more congressional district there. that's the way the map looks. we've had surprises but not many flips. tension, back and forth, we'll see how it goes. only flip on the board is arizona. maybe that congressional district, we'll count votes. fun for us, in campaign headquarters, it's tense. >> both campaigns are nervous right now. but this election is basically different because there's so much early voting that occurred.

if traveling back before battleground states, north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. day in pennsylvania as well in cleveland, ohio. he slammed the president for threatening to fire dr. anthony fauci. >> last night, trump said he was going to fire dr. fauci. ain't that wonderful? i've got a better idea, he liked me and i'm going to hire dr. dr. fauci! and we're going to fire donald trump! >> five men won them white house without winning the popular vote dating back to john quincy adams in 1824. until president trump pulled off the upset four years ago. hoping to stop it again, barack obama stopping in florida and georgia today. the states are critical. democrats are attacking o the president for his handling of the coronavirus. if that's what pennsylvania is so critical, the president going hoping to win back the keystone state again. he won the state by a razor-thin margin of less than 1%. >> this does not look like a second-place finish. think you very much. thank you very much. this is a nice rowdy crowd. only in pennsylvania. you know, we win pennsylvania, we win t

he will be in north carolina and pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. den was in pennsylvania today. and interestingly, he was expected to spend all day in pennsylvania tomorrow too. both biden and harris expected to could do multiple stops in pennsylvania tomorrow. but, the biden campaign then added one last minute trip to a different state. to ohio. he will be in cleveland ohio tomorrow on top of the trips to pennsylvania. >> interesting change to the schedule, that kind of last minute change, like biden adding an unplanned stop in ohio tomorrow, that reveals how the campaigns are meeting up at the end of the day. what is clear, in this election, like every other. it will come down to a handful of close battleground states. thely poll out today, finds biden with a ten point lead nationally. as we always council people, however, these are state elections. one of the people who conducted the survey, a republican pollster said quote, this election is probably the most competitive ten point race i have seen. so, where else to go by steve kornacki at the bi

president trump back in 2016 and that biden is hoping they can reestablish with wins here in pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. but before biden traveled here to pennsylvania, he made a quick stop in cleveland, ohio, a state that president trump won by eight points back in 2016, but that the biden campaign is hoping they can create some movement in. he talked about what is at stake in this election. take a listen. >> when america votes, america will be heard. when america is heard, i believe the message is going to be loud and clear. it's time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home! we are done! we are done with the chaos. we are done with the tweets! the anger, the hate, the failure! the irresponsiblity. we have a lot to work to do! >> reporter: now biden's campaign manager jen o'malley dillon did a briefing with reporters to talk about election protection. she said that she believes the strength of their support and the signs that they have seen from early voting is going to put them in the driver's seat on election day and that she is confident they are going to win. she also pushed ba

exactly here's the thing we're seeing problems in wisconsin in pennsylvania and all saw in michigan know. this year a law was passed which said that those 3 states would not be able to make preparations to those mail in ballots before election day they would have to wait till after election day to be counted no those were passed on the state level and then each of the state legislatures which party is in control of each of those 3 the of answer is of course a republican so we have donald trump seeing that he's very angry that the states are taking so long to code these votes but it was actually republicans in those states that set them up no if you believe in conspiracy theories you can see of course they did that so that donald trump can then go to the supreme court where he's just secured another justice to give a 60 conservative majority so they could say they're not doing their job properly let's go to the courts and then the supreme court would stop the counting of 'd those absentee ballots but in the last hour bill stepien campaign manager has said they want to make sure that every

to find out where this is heading it's still all unclear and we could see one or 2 states pennsylvania wisconsin be declared either way and that could seal it all this question of a legal challenge the truck is threatening to mount make it clear exactly what he plans to challenge. well he's talking about taking this to the supreme court he can't do that he's of course making a point that because he himself appointed 3 conservative supreme court judges that is seen as a clear chief meant over those past 4 years and of course he's hoping that they would rule in his favor which is not that certain acts he they are deemed to be highly qualified judges in the end so 1st of all if it comes down to it's we might see individual recounts in those handful of states where there are big question marks right now because there has been quite a bit of concern about possible on the wrist if the election were to be contested in the sun of the. people were gathering in during the night outside the white house but there's no reports of any violence on the streets i think we're a way off really i think it really co

we will see, obviously, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, may be slower. pennsylvania certainly will be slower but we will get a sense of what the night is going to be. north carolina closes at 7:30, the first of the big battle grounds that closes. georgia, florida, they are all going to get their votes counted probably by the early hours of november 4th and we will have a sense by then how this is trending. >> anita dunn, thank you so much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me, jake. >>> joe biden says if florida goes blue, it's over. will enough trump supporters flood the polls tuesday in florida to keep the biggest swing state red? florida senator and former governor rick scott joins me next. >>> can joe biden win back the three states that gave president trump the white house in 2016? we will talk to the governors of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin in moments. back in january, we knew that this was really, really bad. we had ample forewarning. but we did almost no testing, almost no contact tracing. completely ignored the science, co

president trump travels to north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. more than 93.5 million americans have already voted, that is a staggering number, just staggering. now, i think it is safe to note there is anxiety around the country, some businesses are boarding up fearing possible unrest after the election. plans are now under way to put up a new fence around the perimeter of the white house. >> it could take days for all the votes to be counted, but cnn has learned that president trump is preparing to declare victory before the count is complete if he feels like it. and adding to the country's chaos a surging pandemic, more than 81,000 new coronavirus cases reported yesterday, the most ever on a sunday. so what is the president doing about this surge? well, overnight, he told a rally filled with maskless supporters that he may fire dr. anthony fauci after the election. let's begin our coverage with alexandra field live in pittsburgh. alexand alexandra? >> reporter: alisyn, good morning. people here in pittsburgh are already lining up to drop off t

what that tells us about where the critical areas are likely to be the swing states right pennsylvania wisconsin michigan obama is stumping for biden in florida in georgia florida we as we've seen so important georgia of traditionally republican state that they might be able to pick off so obviously they're hitting the states that especially pennsylvania wisconsin michigan traditionally leaning democrat trump won them by a razor thin margin we're talking about $80000.00 vote. friends that's what gave trump the presidency in 268-0000 votes in those 3 states if biden can win those votes back this is biden's when big picture this is most certainly an election like no other not least because of the pandemic what is america bracing for over the next week and beyond uncertainty you know every state decides for itself how it counts its votes and when it counts its votes sometimes even down to the town or the county. so some have to have their votes counted by election day some can still be voting for several days afterward so or god knows how both campaigns and especially trump because he said it is on
