trump. >>> the clock is ticking. donald trump is joe biden are spending the final moments of the campaign season making their final arguments to the american people. why they should lead the country for the next four years. hello, everyone. i'm kate baldwin. thank you so much for joining me for cnn's special coverage of count down in america. we are closing in on a presidential election like no other. just two days left and donald trump and joe biden are campaigning hard in the

i sat down with three proud trump supporters to see what trump is doing to protect white women.bs are obviously not just code for white. >> he's out there making our lives a little bit easier, and what he's doing is protecting us. >> t what do the suburbs need to be protected from? >> violence, rioters looting. >> huh. >> socialism. >> antifa and "black lives matter." >> i agree, same thing. they're afraid of them coming from the cities to the suburbs. >> there's examples of it around the country where gates are crashed through -- >> okay, so in your suburb, how many rioters came up from the city? >> oh, none eyet. we haven't had, in this town we haven't, but it's happened in other parts of the country. >> we've had very little here. they stopped one of the parkways, very peaceful. there's no looting. >> in our suburbs, we only had a peaceful protest, but, um, you know, the belief is that i believe all lives matter. >> nice. just won a bet. anyways, if all the protests in your neighborhood have been peaceful, why are you still so concerned with rioting and looting? >> because i'

because she was appointed by donald trump three yea rs appointed by donald trump three years ago?ump loyalist, and the weight trump has tweeted about her suggests that as well. there's lots of criticism over her, lots of people saying that she was basically not being patriotic. and she had been trending a lot on social media as well, there's been lots of attack ads done against her certainly by republicans who do not like donald trump. so i think it is fairto donald trump. so i think it is fair to say that she has come under a huge amount of criticism. but those who have been criticising her are saying that she's not been doing her job. you know, herjob is quite straightforward and procedural, she shouldn't really be showing loyalty to a president, but should be showing loyalty to a country by signing this document which she should have done a lot earlier. but as she has said in the letter, and it's interesting because in the letter she still shows that loyalty — she claims she has not been pressured into any of this, that she has decided to sign this letter a lot earlier than pla

the silence of donald trump and the trump silence is the trump concession speech. he cannot put his loss into words. that will never happen. but he doesn't have it. because his silence is the concession speech. his silence speaks more clearly than his jumbled words ever could. you've just lived through four full days of not hearing donald trump's voice and you haven't had four days and nights like that in your life. since donald trump came down that escalator on june 16th, 2015. four full days of trump silence. even when donald trump was in the hospital with the coronavirus, he was issuing video statements to rally his followers. donald trump knew when he was in the hospital with coronavirus that he had to continue speaking directly to his voters in his own voice on camera because he knew that silence would have been surrender. he would have been surrendering in the presidential campaign against joe biden, which he had not yet lost decisively, as he has now, and now we have total silence. silence is the concession speech. what did you expect? i for one said literal

, trump and me. for long-time viewers, tony, this is a special moment. for new viewers or people just checking on the news if people wonder about "the art of deal" that made trump a national figure and avatar, tony was a "new york times" writer and helped co-write that and he's come back later and donated province to organizations and charities and talked about why he's a critic of donald trump having worked so closely to him. i give that back story because here you are for the first time since it was called and donald trump became the loser of this race. your thoughts tonight, tony? >> well, you catch me on a night where my mood is not as buoyant as i hoped i would be at this moment. i expected after the election to feel a sense of tremendous relief that biden had won. i'm finding that i don't. and that the reason is that we do have an autocrat in the white house right now. he's taken down any, any sign that he will play by the rules, that he will be down by convention, that the norms apply to him,

but, i support trump.mily has been divided biden, and and joe we have literally fought over this. hope trump wins it. if he does come up with something for our health plan, because i am disabled. host: do you think that whoever wins the election will resolve the issues that you talked about with your family? caller: no. i think that it has to do with people -- being disabled. believe we need a health plan. host: i meant that you had said that you had disagreements with members of your family because of the president. whoever wins, do you think they will be passed and you will have better relationships with your family? caller: yes. if they do, yes. i believe we will. host: let us hear from donna, new york, a supporter of joe biden. hello. caller: good morning, how are you? i stayed awake to witness the speech that president trump gave and i was appalled that the president of the president of the united states could accuse democrats of fraud, declare himself a winner and say that it was the democrats who we

. >> donald trump is not strong. he's weak. >> sleepy joe biden will shut down your economy. >> he knew how to game the system. guess what, mr. president. i'm coming for you. >> you elected an outsider as president who is finally putting america first. that's okay. right? >> the only thing that can tear america part is america itself. let's show them who we are. ♪ thunder, feel the thunder. ♪ lightning and the thunder, thunder. jillian: an election like no other. just two days away. president donald trump and joe biden making their last ditch appeals to america. todd: nearly 90 million voters have already cast their r ballo. we still have a long way to go. don't adjust your sets. it is sunday morning. i'm todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. let's get to our live team coverage. phil keating is live in north miami. garrett tenney is in iowa where president trump leads joe biden by 7 points in a new poll. and political analyst tess lainn figure row joins us -- figero joins us live. todd: griff jenkins join us, griff,

donald trump has control.f he stands up at the next primary, forget whether he runs or not saying this guy was not part of the club, he is out. donald trump is like a bully in the movie when they're finally unmasked in the lunchroom and left by themselves and that sadness and now they look pathetic and defanged, that's the biggest fear and donald trump is not going away, kids. won't have the power but speaking to millions of americans every day and the media, this media, outside of fox has to be disciplined when ratings maybe drop off in march and april and talking about infrastructure, not to put the heroin bathe hero back in. >> it's a good point and you can police that for me, for all of us. donna, i want to ask you something about the senate. i am actually for the first time in many, many months befuddled by the motivation structure behind this outrageous anti-american conduct from all the elected republicans and this is bob costa's reporting that i think seeks to explain mcconnell. based on my conversatio

where is that part of donald trump. -- or is that part of donald trump? >> i think it is both. 70 million people that voted for him are an important constituency. he may want to run again in 2024. it would not surprise me if he filed to run for reelection on the afternoon of january 20, 2021, making a big comeback after the election was "stolen from him". and he can charge people to subscribe to trump tv and get tens of millions of these people. that may solve many of the financial challenges he is likely to face after he leaves office. anchor: i want to come back to what this all means. this is not an official statement that joe biden is a new president from the gsa. the electoral college, they give results to congress. the next 11 weeks, how does that play out? reporter: it is not the media who determines what the president -- who the president is. it is not up to the gsa, donald trump, or anybody else to unilaterally declare that biden has won the election. the process works as follows. by december 8, the states need to submit their electoral votes to the electoral college t

the truth in reality, not in the lies that trumps -- trump tells.ou cannot address the lie because it is alive. i want to know what the true disenfranchisement of the trump voters is. also, the fact that people are --ing it is not true. the thing going on in pennsylvania, why the votes are delayed is because the legislature in pennsylvania stated that those votes could not be counted early. they had to be counted the day of the election. what pennsylvania did was they counted the in person votes first and then the mail in votes now. they should have done it like florida did. i think what republicans are doing, they try to market the water so that people feel like they are disenfranchised when it is not true, when it is alive. host: go ahead and respond. guest: the caller makes good points. i agree with them. here is an issue. the media makes it sound like trump is the first politician to say something that isn't true. that's not true. politicians get things wrong. sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose, all the time. i think a lot of people wh

trump. bound he's adamant to keep his seat joe biden is equally as adamant to get into the white house but donald trump has already threatened legal action if things don't go his way. north carolina big victory with north carolina. and. so we won there we lead by. 76000 votes with almost nothing. and all of us and everything just. this is a fraud on the american public this is an embarrassment to our country so we'll be going to the u.s. supreme court. what was most extraordinary about that press conference was that it started out on a very positive tone trent was going through all the states where they did where he had done very well any even seem quite surprised at the results so far and then it turned very dark didn't it it did and especially proceeded to say what he can we continued with saying we don't want to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning meaning that he didn't want to see some of the states where he had the lead to swap and to switch to have biden as their favorite this

at this point after trump's victory in 2016, trump was receiving daily briefings.the hold-up hinges on the little known to the public general services administration, which officially begins the transition and has refused to sign the paperwork to do so. republican senator james lankford of oklahoma said wednesday he will intervene if biden is not receiving the briefings by friday. this comes as the state department is refusing to pass on messages to biden from world leaders, and biden's transition team is coordinating biden's calls without state department support. secretary of state mike pompeo has refused to acknowledge biden's win and said there would be a "smooth transition to a second trump administration" today, we'll get response to the historic u.s. election from around the world, from brazil to to thefrica from turkey united kingdom. first we go to brazil, where staunch trump ally president jair bolsonaro has not acknowledged joe biden's victory. on tuesday, as brazil's covid dental past 162,000 -- second only to the united states -- bolsonaro again downpl

care about the republican party, donald trump cares about donald trump and if donald trump thought hes is the general services administration told him that they can't continue down this road and they had to declare joe down this road and they had to declarejoe biden a winner. down this road and they had to declare joe biden a winner. and when mrtrump declare joe biden a winner. and when mr trump says on twitter that the fight continues, he is losing the fight, hand over fist at the moment? i think his record in these court cases is something like one out of 35, maybe? which is absolutely terrible. he is not going to win anything here. if he wants to continue suing, that is up to continue suing, that is up to him. the key date is september —— december 14. that is when they vote in the electoral college and that is when we will havejoe biden's inauguration in january 20. when we will havejoe biden's inauguration injanuary 20. i hope i am not on air with you that they because i will be crying as i did when it was announced joe biden won a couple of weeks ago, i will bms. it is pretty cle

then i heard president trump speak, trump at the time, and i changed.was coming down the escalator. i like him. i think you will do a great job. and for the black americans and hispanics, which we have a law in california. host: ok, let's hear from duke in maine, you supportive joe biden. caller: hello. good morning. yes, i support joe biden. out ofme to get satan the white house. i have told so many people, that is satan reincarnated. he has ruined this country. he has run his mouth about how things got shut down because of this coronavirus, may be we would not be shut down as much as we are going to have to be now had he stepped up to the bat and done what he should have done. maybe we would be on the road to recovery, and may be a good recovery. host: have you voted for joe biden, or wire you voting for joe biden? presidential, he has compassion and a heart. donald trump does not have the decency of a gnat. and we need to change and have a decent person who cares about our country into the person who -- and to the people who live here. host: john --

voters were voting for trump. voting against they won't necessarily voting for biden and that could have been a weakness so the idea of biden being a centrist candidate who could maybe pick up some of your more centrist republicans or moderate republicans apparently just didn't work what about richard looking at the u.s. and the american political culture from abroad it looks like a real mess with donald trump in office having challenge the press as being the enemy of the people for example of big playing very fast and loose with the truth many accusations of wrongdoing in the case of trump i mean just fact checking trump who has put out the ideas of alternative fact for many people this is just hard to imagine that american voters would go for this again what does this say about american political culture well yeah i mean the trump approach to politics really does seem to have struck a very powerful cold in the u.s. of course we do have to emphasize that again it looks like don't come is not going to win the popu

election some actually want trump to win because they believe that trump is isolating the united states and the deep divide that he's creating in the in the united states alongside the economic crisis his point to lead to a week in the united states and that will give iran much greater room for maneuver there are others on the other hand who prefer trumper biden and who think that if biden comes the europeans will move more force trump and other countries the international climate community will force biden the new the potentially new president to behave more reasonably towards iran but i don't think anyone really believes that there's going to be any significant change in the united states towards iran whether it's biden or charm because of course trump has maximum pressure campaign which is aimed to starve iran and to hurt ordinary iranians and to kill as many ordinary iranians as possible it has not been opposed by the democrats the united states it's not been opposed by the corporate media in the united states and we have to remember that the same sanctions they were initiated by ob

view of president trump of what a potential president by 2. natalie to achieve the director of the institute of international affairs is with us once again she also served as an advisor to figure federica greeny the european union's formal foreign policy chief mark jacobson an assistant dean of washington programs at syracuse university also served as an advisor to u.s. secretary of defense ash carter and was a deputy nato representative in kabul and in doha once again our senior political analyst marwan bashara natalie i will russia's president vladimir putin view this election. well i mean clearly. last time around putin obviously did bank very very much on president trump and indeed in times affect us in the affinity obviously something seemed to click i think at the same time putin sees trump now perhaps lightly different from the way he saw him 4 years ago probably that person affinity is still there but probably putin also sees trump a someone who has been in a sense unable to deliver upon a promise of a very different kind of reset that

however donald trump differed from biden in he clearly didn't think that the u.s. voting system was the envy of the world trump painted a rather negative picture of the u.s. voting system in the us political process painting widespread corruption as the problem blaming his political opponents for attempting to somehow subvert his victory in the election this is more from trump. it was no blue wave that they predicted they thought it was going to be a big group that was false it was done for suppression reasons but instead there was a big red wave. now with the few states still counting the votes all of them have said it will take some time results are not anticipated until at least tomorrow at the earliest in some states other states are saying it could be up to 10 days so the country is left biting its nails and holding its breath still no clear winner in the u.s. presidential election artie's new york correspondent caleb maupin thank you for those election updates now lawyer and former candidate for new york city council marni hall law believes the trump team is

or if trump were to get it in that scenario, trump might get over 270. you get a sense of the channel the president is running against here. the president is running against the odds in the midwest. has to win one of these states. has to sweep all of these states we just went through here then you get out to arizona, he's been trailing in the polling in arizona, he'd have to have late momentum there as well. that is what it would take to get him over 270. >> steve kornacki, when you look at the polling, not just in terms of absolute values, but in terms of the quality of the various polls that are being done, i'm starting to think about this because that iowa poll in 2016 which also said at this time in 2016 that trump was up 7, it surprised people, he ended up winning iowa by 9. people saw that as a great indicator that wasn't being picked up on by other pollsters in the terms of the midwest. when you look at the polling that's out there, look at the map and how the campaigns are doing, is there a state that you're keeping an eye on that might be a sour

donald trump, jr. has been mentioned as a potential candidate himself rather he runs for senate in the state where the family has a home or the mayor for new york city. he seems most interested in running the republican national committee. he will have some competition because that is not something his father can install him in. the republican national committee has many members who will make that decision. many love the trump family and love trump so it would not be shocking if he takes over. incumbent presidents have sway over a party's committee. once they're gone, that falls away and hitting -- and it can go to different people to jockey for power. maybe donald trump will end up on the committee himself. it seems more to be an aspiration and ambition on donald trump's part that something that has actually played out. if the current republican national committee chair tries to usher donald trump, jr. in, it could happen. many gop lawmakers on the republican national committee for funding, strategy,

donald trump.n the article basically profiles you are saying that biden threatens your way of life, is that correct? make once in america with no illegal immigration, no abortion and law and order. i have not one but two bottles of bubbly waiting to celebrate not if but when trump wins. plenty to celebrate. i'm not saying he is a perfect man. this is colour orange, face, tan, ridiculous? it is how ridiculous some days, yes. but he says something and he stands by it and he means it and he does what he says. can you talk to your friends and family about politics? no? i even tell them i was doing this. doing what? you'll make this. doing what? you'll make this interview. how do you think they would react? they don't care. naomi winch in lehigh county lives just 20 minutes away. she sees the president as a dangerous authoritarian. as election day approaches, she has one goal — ousting trump. i don't want to wake up on wednesday and find out. ..and feel like i didn't do everything i could. so i am doing

silence and we've heard from donald trump the 1st time since election night now donald trump spoke about the election and he basically argued that there is widespread efforts by the democrats to swing the votes against him he painted a rather negative picture of the u.s. electoral system and blamed the democrats for it take a listen democratic officials never believed they could win this election honestly i really believe that that's why they did the 1000000 ballots with this tremendous corruption and fraud going on and that's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited bella's they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i get is usually even determined whether they're eligible or in those you go to now throughout the year donald trump has speculated that mail in voting could lead to widespread fraud and from the podium he spent a large amount of time going over different accusations of fraud on the part of the democrats arguing they're working to move against him now he specifically talked about pennsylvania donald trump stressed that it one point in pennsylvani

donald trump.trump. interesting that even in the statement she has a bit of a quibble about the gsa's terms and guide on setting this document in the first place suggesting that it needs updating. there is a sense of reluctance with even signing off this document, but i don't think in the end it matters to the biden transition team. this is the document they we re team. this is the document they were waiting to have signed off and now here it is, and they can and now here it is, and they ca n start and now here it is, and they can start moving towards the white house comejanuary can start moving towards the white house come january 20. of the phrases going the rounds, raising eyebrows. this one jenna ellis the race is not over. the legal avenues really are closing down. pretty fast, aren't they? that's right. really interesting the race is not over, not quite sure what they mean by that. legally, about 30 lawsuits have already been kicked out of the courts. because there's no evidence. that's what

i'm so donald trump values here if you will continue to believe in donald trump because trump believes that you. may value c.d.'s and c.d.n. may value the access to them but that doesn't mean he has any value in the news it's got you started and that is coming from someone who should not 10 years before fox news came on the scene we wrote the playbook for conservative news we call the t.v. news with a different spirit and all it was was an attempt to insert conservative propaganda into the news i am convinced this is a nation under god in the end the right wing news is only a profit center it's not news and there's no attempt to be for unbiased and i think it's gone so far now that the public isn't aware of that but that's still what we create blame me i'm the one who has is saying i don't want to play gotcha journalism i think there's plenty of place in the news space today where you're going to hear that what is missing i think in the landscape is well what is it that they're really trying to say what is that an edited version. that sometimes that's on a little version comes directly

vision they are just not trump. clearly biden did not really show or depict any kind of vision or specific policies it was just a corona and not trump. the trump people they are mostly distraught by cases of vandalism like in pennsylvania in philadelphia last year and before that in there was consonant of course in new york and. california so it's like the law and order candidate against the more liberal except the law and order candidate is the incumbent so basically he. and i would say bears some responsibility and maybe this is part of the reason why these elections are too close to call. obviously a lot of people outside the united states are extremely interested in what goes on for obvious reasons as a former israeli ambassador to the u.s. what have you made of donald trump's policies in the middle east in particular recently brokering these normalization talks between israel and the arab states. sure well there is no secret at all that don't trump. has been and still is the most pro israeli president ever and

donald trump runs the election for human tendency since he won a twist might be possible as republicans launch and also it's over a late surge in useful ballots provided. i. stood by donald trump's rejection of the results his supporters take to the streets demanding a recount. after a long way to america seems to have finally chosen then next leader i don't biden is on course to become the $46.00 president of the united states off the media projection shows that he's a secured 290 electoral college votes well above the magic 217 votes needed. it's been a slow week of counting since tuesday's election day with the decisive votes coming down to 100 full of states ultimately it was biden's home state of pennsylvania at the time that the former vice president the keys to the white house giving him the much needed votes to put him above the threshold of $270.00 it could also be a historic win for connelly horace he would be the 1st black woman and asian american vice president and his 1st speech since he appeared to have secured victory a biden called on america to hail divisions i will gov

voting for trump. whatever the reasoning, it is obelisk that there is a problem because the polls have, twice in a row, and this time worse than last time, underestimated trump's vote totals. host: let's go to our phone lines and talk to don, who is -- linton,m maryland north dakota. don says she didn't vote. good morning. i got tohe only thing say is there is no color. we are all the same color. it is time to set my people free . that has been said for thousands and thousands of years. host: go ahead and respond, robbie. guest: i think there definitely is -- obviously that is an admirable sentiment. too think there is a desire a preference for talking about issues in a racial lens in the media that i have noticed. it is liberal, left of center, mainstream media. race, sex,e for gender, those kinds of categories of oppression and how that affects the presidential race and politics and stuff like that. when there is a class divide onng onto some degree and -- to some degree and to a greater extent. i fi

but president trump didn't wait ready claiming victory before votes were counted. i think we were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this election. is a major fraud or nation we want the law to be used in a proper manner so we'll be going to the u.s. supreme court trump was referring to mailing votes to be accepted after election day in several states but the system is fully legal and it's used by tens of millions of people. this election is expected to have one of the highest noting turnouts in recent history even during a pandemic indicating just how important she stays smoot was for the american people. i voted for the greatest president in history gone ok strong companies doing nothing for us bill that he's going to have very thing more on the control than what. china does but it looks like the situation will not be on the controller that soon as president trump's a statement throws to country in a state of uncertainty many in the u.s. a bracing for a political storm. our chief political editor make it a craft is tracking all the developments

by 50%, trump 49. trump 50%, biden 49. it has just moved again. by 50%, trump 49.t coast of the united states and we do have 16 more states where the polls will be closing. that means we will have 16 more states where we will start to get the results coming in, and some of those states are the big ones, those battle ground states. they include florida, pennsylvania. we hope we may get some of those results from pennsylvania quickly and florida quickly, because they have been counting those early mail—in votes for weeks now, so they should be well versed at this. also, florida, interestingly, they have a history of voting by mail and voting early. and you know why, andrew?” don't know. because of hurricanes. we talk about what domain bursting up we talk about what domain bursting up they voted early because of hurricanes. so everybody is used to it and they have a very well oiled machine in terms of early vote counting. maybe not in 2000, but they have this time. let's see what we can get out of this. new hampshire, pennsylvania, maine, delaware, connecticut and new

trumps is a 3450e med.e will create media on his own. howie: ben, i take your point about there's something in it for both sides during this four -- actually six year battle between donald trump and the press. from what we've seen in the post election period, do you have any indication that the press is going to be even reasonably truffe on joe biden, -- tough on joe biden, who does have a less confrontational style, shall we say. >> the biggest thing i learned about the incoming biden administration this week is they plan to have a pet in the white house. i think that says a lot about the expectation that's are built in here for how the media will treat the -- howie: let's stop right there. that's a good point. the new york times and other outlets have stories today about a cbs sunday morning exclusive that the buy dense will get a -- bidens will get a cat to join their dogs in the white house. what does that suggest to you? >> it suggests that this is going to be the tone. we're going to learn about tony

a judge shooting down the trump campaign, 2-part question what can the trump campaign do next?'s eyes on this, is this enough to pay of the path to the supreme court? >> good morning. early for everybody. a couple thoughts on this. number one, people get ramped up in where we are in this process, the reality is we haven't even finished the count yet from a process perspective. there are potential recounts. georgia close enough that it will ultimately wind up in a recount. you have the conversation about content. then and only then do i think you are likely to have both sides look what has happened and transpired and see if there are any issues they need to address. right now these cases involving like observers or other nonstructural operational issues and those transparency questions are important but it is a long way to get from there to the supreme court. neil: or point, legal action being taken, georgia, pennsylvania, nevada. i heard a fellow election lawyer say we may not have answers until mid december. is that right? >> that is potentially right. estates move through the

donald trump.broadly, pollsters and the kind of factors... pulses have to factor these things in all the time, so was that not factored in? was that not pollsters try to do? you don'tjust try to count up the numbers, do you? know, you don't, you certainly stratify your samples, so you have an appropriate number of low educated and higher educated numbers, by age, gender, partisanship, ethnicity, region of a state or district or county, but you can't account for that stuff that you don't know, for the nonresponse rate. i mean also keep in mind late in this campaign, donald trump won 30% of the vote on election day. i'm sorry, he won election day. i'm sorry, he won election day. i'm sorry, he won election day by 26 points. 36% of voters on election day, and late deciders voted for donald trump, which is a very unusual thing for an incumbent. neil, thank you very much indeed, it has been an unusual 24 hours, no doubt about that, but once again the pollsters are in an interesting situation. so if you j

along with laura trump, eric trump's wife and eric himself.iffany trump, the president's youngest daughter has not been as politically involved but she shows up from time to time. donald trump, jr. has been mentioned as a possible candidate himself whether he runs for senate in a state with the president has a home or run for mayor of new york city. at this point he seems to be most interested in running the republican national committee. he will have some competition though. that is not something his father can just install him. the republican national committee is full of committee members who will make the decision. many of them love the trump family and love president trump. it would not be shocking to see him take over in a sense. but incumbent presidents have ultimate sway over the party's committee. when they are gone, that falls away and can go to different people on the committee the jockey to power. maybe donald trump, jr. ends up on the republican national committee himself. it seems more to be an aspiration and ambition than someth

trump.emember, trump rushed through a justice barrett onto the supreme court because he knew he would lose. that's why he broke the confirmation process. nobody should think this is surprising and a conspiracy and so on. you had trump's own homeland security officials saying there was no fraud in this election and yeah, trump tried to fire him and stuff, but no fraud, everything was on the up and up. this strategy is going nowhere and going nowhere fast and it just makes trump look even more ridiculous than he did before the election, which is quite a feat. >> yeah. neal, jason johnson kicking us off. we have the shortest break 30 seconds but coming up, new calls to investigate lindsey graham and allegations of election meddling. later, what donald trump's history reveals what he's trying to do to profit potentially off bogus election claims and what joe biden's aids are saying about invest gating or indicting trump officials or donald trump. we turn to one of my special reports, the first o

upon donald trump. of congress, the senate being the bigger prize. at the moment, democrats have 46 seats, but two independent to cope with the democrats, taking into 48. the republicans are on 48. these four grey dots here represent the four grey dots here represent the four to be resolved. two of them are north carolina and alaska. we're pretty confident they will go the direction of the republicans, taking them to 50. that leaves the remaining two. they are both in georgia, both going for a run of votes in january, georgia, both going for a run of votes injanuary, and they are going to be absolutely crucial. if the democrats take those two in georgia, that takes them to 46 plus two plus two, which takes into 50, and for a tie and the senate, the vice president has the casting vote, and the vice president elect is kamala harris, a democrat, so those two votes in georgia, my goodness. 0nce we have digested this historic day, a lot of the attention and money in us politics will start focusing on those v

trump challenge the election at supreme court yes sure. that's a very good question 1st of all technically trump cannot bring an election contest directly to the supreme court any challenges to the election have to go through the state courts 1st yale law professor bruce ackerman told d.w. fact checking team before this interview and let's give you some context president trump spoke about the possibility of taking the election to the supreme court before it is in line with this tragedy he tells for weeks now trump claimed repeatedly in the past few months the vote by mail leaves the door open for fraud and to remind us by the time he made his statement this morning of voting had finished however not all votes had yet been counted this is because of 21 u.s. states whose rules xcept ballots after the election day so the final result could well take some time ok no number of states have been called trouble isted a number of states he said he's won georgia among others that have raised some eyebrows was trump stating facts or just was that jus

. >> the national cochair of the group women for trump, and trump campaign senior advisor spoke to reporters this afternoon about the election results in philadelphia. they claim the trump campaign was not allowed to properly observe the vote count and they would be filing a lawsuit in federal court.

so if putin is upset, trump is upset. let's not forget this trump firing is more than just vindictiveness and anger at speaking the truth, there's more to it. it is not trump looking in the rearview mirror at what happened, it is also looking forward. by that, i mean part of krebs' job is to stop the propaganda about how the election is fraudulent, how there's massive voter fraud. and by the way, that's pumped up by adversaries like russia. you take out that guy, the number two guy resigns, you have no leadership at the helm to stop the propaganda that people are buying into that the whole election was rigged. >> you know, elizabeth newman, tragically there is new polling out that suggests about 30% of the american electorate believes the lies trump is telling them and i want to ask you about something our friend natasha bertrand tweeted. one way this could backfire, as government official, krebs was forbidden speaking to biden transition team, nothing is stopping him from doing so now, he has a lot of institutional knowl

trump voters do not like to be polled.ou want them to participate, they need to know that their voices are heard and they need to know that it matters and they need to know that their opinions will not be turned against them. second, we still have a problem of rural versus urban voters with trump doing so well in the rural communities, very often they get underrepresent bid the polls that -- that respond too much to urban communities and frankly, third, i don't think pollsters talk to the voters themselves therefore they get it wrong again and again but donald trump is wrong. howie: he's wrong saying it was deliberate. this is the second straight election presidential election that the polling industry is basically botched. how does your business recover from that can your business recover from that or is there a series loss of credibility here? frank fang -- frank: i think what is happening is accountability in action and if you got it wrong this time, you got it wrong twice in a row, you shouldn't be working in the busin

trump will expand it. biden would abolish school choice but with trump there will be more. biden says he will heal the racial divide. mr. ua black, mr. crime bill that destroyed countless black families and communities. on the issues come on the policies trump made the right choice. on the economy he pioneered a new conservative populism pro-business on tax and regulation for trade and immigration and he leapt left us the greatest economy we have ever seen lifting up those left behind by the establishment economics biden would take us back to. perform policy perhaps trump's most consequential achievement and greatest legacy reversing decades of establishment surrender to confront china's rise. biden says normalcy. for working americans normalcy is cruelty. they send your jobs to china and go to china to get jobs for themselves. you get poor, they get richer. normalcy and career politicians like biden/harris totally controlled by the bureaucrats. biden says we won't calm. biden is practically comatose the feeble stooge of fighting faction on the far left. the snooty snotty s

if anybody should be upset about vote for trump, it is trump. he said for many months that the mail-in ballot process was fraudulent. even his own operatives, his republican operatives said you should not say that because a lot of people vote by mail. you should encourage your supporters to do so also. do not get mad at the democrats because the democrats did not listen to trump. that is denise in maryland , part of the first half-hour of calls as we have seen them when it comes to this year's election. for more information on that and other things, john mcardle. focus lion share of the on the presidential race in these final states in the all-important electoral vote count and the outstanding senate and house races as well. also want to keep you updated on what is happening on capitol hill. we will show you tweets from c-span's capitol hill producer, who notes that the house is holding its first postelection session today, but no votes are scheduled to take place until monday. today at 10:30 there will be a pro forma session. the party leadersh

where an all black large black banners with white letters red remove trump trump lies all the time just a block away in the white house the object of their anger awaited the results of their vote. while there have already been pro and anti trying demonstrations outside the white house ahead of the final election results artie's done caught a look at the growing to visions within american society. it was all high hopes and big promises back in 2016 when donald trump took his place in the white house the nation was already divided by race gender class you name it and the country needed a hero now it's time for america to find a division have to get together. republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one united people turned out trump never came to be that knight in shining armor. 20 twentieth's presidential election seasons looked more like an all out war on the streets more than anything mishandling of the pandemic response and the economic crisis but most significant was the brutal killing of george floyd that sparked outra

under the trump administration.hen it comes to this often between biden and trump, china is really caught between a rock and a hard place because both of these men have said they are going to continue a tough on china approach and for beijing, this frosty relationship, they really don't see this ending anytime soon. if trump gets real, china will try to build a consensus with trump focusing on brats a continuing trade conversation. but if i can get elected, we might see a change of style, we might return to a more conventional style of diplomacy, but he is also going to continue to be hard on china and he might even focus on issues that china is less willing to have conversations over. for example, social and political issues like human rights. host: it has been a case that china is simply too big for any real damage to be done by either donald trump or joe biden. in fact, it is something that the americans just have to deal with. reporter: definitely when it comes to china, but they have tried to do with this elect

and trump's defeat is decisive. biden is on track to win as many electoral votes as trump did in 2016, 306. biden's margin in georgia is over 25 times larger than the difference in florida between georgia w. bush and al gore in 2000. biden enjoys a larger margin in pennsylvania than trump got in 2016. it's a cliche to say this, but it is true. democracy is above all about the peaceful transfer of power. trump is shredding that norm for his own egotistical needs. but his actions today will have a large and lasting effect on this country's politics and culture for decades, creating a cancer that will metastasize in gruesome ways. go to cnn.com/fa reed for a link to my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started. >> mike pompeo promised on tuesday that there would be a smooth transition to a second trump administration. the secretary of state woke up this morning in paris, where his schedule is full of meetingings with job officials, including the french president tomorrow. emmanuel macron himself has dec

does donald trump give it up? still is the question, has he given up and he's got another couple of weeks to work with. what should we expect from those couple of weeks that he looked at the g 20 very washed out, but we have, we have the impression that he still has a lot of sort of dog. well, i mean, he's certainly struggling, as someone, as i alluded to earlier, who doesn't believe really undemocratic institutions and processes. so he has had a tough time and, you know, i think he is, you know, trying to prepare or to satisfy his supporters domestically and internationally. some of the moves that we've talking about, but we have to see whether all those move moves going to materialize. and this is also probably in a few of his real, you know, probably or eventually or probable or unlikely whatever. rerun in 2024. so to keep the support of regional allies and also to keep, keep, keep the support of the social constituencies that he has in the country. when you talk about moves being made, you're talking, i assume

trump? to argue they don't. you can see the poor fox news anchors, right, when he's been on the phone for w them for 30 minutes, they're, like, well, mr. president, i eknow you've got to go, mr. president, and he won't get off the phone. so, you know, i think if they think they can get ratings, doesn't matter the advice, because they will go for the ratings, but i think you are going to find that there are not ratings there to be had that actually he's not great ratings, he's not ratings gold. he was ratings gold when he was, wow, wacky over the top who knows what he's going to do, but the song and dance is getting very old, everybody understands it and it's kind of rambley old grandpa, uncle, you know, things like that. it's the kind of person you're like, okay, nice to see you, then you move seven seats away because you don't want to be part of that. i think he's falling into that category and i can tell you only by watching, i feel sorry, which i rarely do for the fox news anchors, but i
