junot hout makes us look in my state of vermont? some republicans voted for donald trump, some voted for joe biden. the majority in this case voted for joe h biden. i've been hearing from both parties what is going on. it is over. he briefly about the president-elect and the vicet- president-elect. when i came to this body i was the most junior member of the united statesta senate. and the second youngest. the youngest was a senator from delaware had been elected just two years before. joe biden. and b due to the fact of the two youngest be bonded over that. and got to know his family. i knew the tragedy he had with his first wife was killed and daughter was killed. but he would go home every day to make sure he could put his sons to bed, be there with them. iwn don't know how many times, mr. president, would be setting down there in the well. he be looking at his watch that he would ask for the next train wasnd going to be because the next train to delaware was at such a time. he is like a marathon runner going out the door to make

vermont cold than it does arizona and california. kids can't play outside., you know, we have to get creative but this is not creative. this is oppressive. >> dana: in fact, one of the things that the vermont education secretary stan french one of the things he said schools operate on trust and that's of course true between parents and students they are hopeful this guidance will give them additional tools to make sure that they do the right thing. >> isn't that wonderful? yes. and also, if there is that degree of trust. then people should have the opportunity to self-govern. i thought that those were ideals that were held on to pretty tightly in the northeast. but, my worry is that this type of behavior, and these type of systems will continue and persist after the virus fades. when we are all vaccinated and we achieve herd immunity and we go about our daily lives. will this be the new normal for kids? will though be the ones who are essentially forced to spy on their own parents because the ramifications they can be pretty dire with it's no wonder the pare

there was another case in vermont where he alluded to vermont, where he incorrectly wrote what was happening in vermont, and the state asked him to change his wedecision. he back and amended a, so i think everyone is on hyper alert, and i think the bi question what happens after the election? do some of these cases come back to court with amy coney barrett, who so far has no weighed in on any of these cases? >> we've been talking a lot the democrats are fighting to win the senate because they need to win the extra seats if biden/harris tas the white house or four if trump/pence ticket. >> mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, republican we've heard him rn . republicans this could go democrats' way. don't want to say anything as for sure until those are th counted, but e are nine republican seats either leaned democratic or are considered tossup's under the political reportethich is a well- úgroup. npartisan analysis only one democrat. and arizona, we have you know, colorado where it looks good for democrats, and a number of other states. even places like georgia that a couple of years

of coronavirus of any statement country and the vermont economy is recovering so it's i think it's a false dichotomy to say it's a choice between the economy and dealing with coronavirus quite the contrary you can only deal with the economy when you've dealt with coronavirus and i think that's the approach that joe biden is going to take i'm fine you know i want to ask you one thing that a lot of people a pillow donald trump for and the fact that he is one of the president's 2 outs not started in the involved in the thing. the war in his administration and now joe biden of course watched him alongside with the bomb a lot of people criticized them. of course that was significant increases in u.s. soldiers in afghanistan is do you think it's a legitimate concern that we're not going to see a full pullout of u.s. troops as the trumpet ministration was was promising and that will see a return to what some call a bit of warmongering. well i don't think it's going to be a return to warmongering. there is the issue of these so-called forever wars in iraq and afghanistan of course iraq was l

"everyone in vermont gets a ballot and a sticker i don't like the sticker because it leaves a residueirt. this is the gop's con. slow down mail service, limit the number of drop boxes then, claim ballots that arrive late are invalid for example, texas governor greg abbott limited drop-off locations for mail-in ballots to one per county meanwhile, republicans in pennsylvania blocked attempts to allow counties to start processing mail ballots before election day basically, if republicans had their way there would be exactly one ballot drop box for the entire country, somewhere in the mojave desert. and you'd only be able to use it on odd-number days between the hours of 3:00 and 4:00 a.m after crossing a bridge and answering three riddles from rudy giuliani. "riddle me this. how would you get a mic off without untucking your shirt?" you know what giuliani's catchphrase used to be, shoemaker? "my cousin." [ light laughter ] it couldn't be any clearer that trump and his allies on the supreme court are telegraphing their plan to orchestrate a sequel to bush v. gore by hoping trump is ahead

has been projected for that, and vermont has been projected foer that, and vermont has been projectedrise there in any of these, mr biden taking vermont, the home state of bernie sanders. 65% of the vote counted in florida, mr biden isjust a little ahead at 50.4, trump at 48.7, but as you are saying, katty, as you move further north as the votes get counted it becomes more republican which is why the republicans still think this is their state, but it won't be until their state, but it won't be until the votes are counted. now, a state that mr trump won quite comfortably in 2016 was ohio, one of these other midwestern rust belt states. this time it's still been leaning towards mrtrump, but it time it's still been leaning towards mr trump, but it is in contention, so let's to anna foster. she is in clevela nd, so let's to anna foster. she is in cleveland, ohio. this is the bellwether state, andrew. it's predicted every president correctly since 1964, and here is something the republican campaign will really be focusing on tonight. no republican has ever won the white house without winn

closing let's take you through him they are indiana kentucky georgia south carolina virginia and vermont a mixture of states there some of them are swing states some of them very solid in days of the projections we have for you at this hour starting in kentucky with 8 electoral college votes they go the way of donald trump that is exactly as we would expect but just have a look at some of the detail on it of the popular vote and it's solid isn't it 53 percent with 14 percent and this is just how to understand it even with 14 only 14 percent of precincts reporting it is enough for us to be able to make a solid projection for donald trump also looking at vermont which is going to the column of joe biden the 3 electoral college votes which the democratic candidate pretty much always gets at this time of the night and just running through a few others now the polls are close but that doesn't mean we can actually decide at this point indiana too early to call in indiana with its 11 south carolina as well if it's 9 it's too early to call as is virginia more on offer in virginia 13 that should

—— unlike people like bernie sanders, the vermont senator, who wants to come much further.e people to get federal subsidies, letting more people get covered under the marketplace that the law created, expanding coverage to people on medicaid, low income people on medicaid, low income people who live in states who have chosen not to expand medicaid under the law, so he has a whole series of steps that he would like to take, all of which require congressional approval. it will be interesting to see how this plays out once there is a run—off election for two senate seats both happening to be in georgia which will happen early injanuary and georgia which will happen early in january and that will determine whether republicans stay in control of the senate 01’ stay in control of the senate or whether the senate is divided, effectively giving the democrats the edge because vice president elect harris will be able to break a tie, so there isa able to break a tie, so there is a big question looming about the political fate of any enlargement of the law. thank you so much for that.

finally vermont. senator bernie sanders home town protectablely going to former vice president joe biden as expected. again, 270 e.r.a. college votes to win. that is the bridge. let's get to florida. they are very good at counting all of their mail-in ballots, so we are we're seeing big tranches of numbers being released. with 50% reported. look at that. it is a dead heat. for more on the i were importance of florida, we spoke to correspondent joe. >> they may count their ballots early, early as in terms of our time in the evening. if trump loses florida, it's pretty much game over. you know, there's ways to get a win, but it would take a lot of gymnastics. so that's the one to watch. now, it's super close, so, you know, there's no guarantee either way. >> now, again, there was a big push from both campaigns to reach out to black and latinx voters in florida, and looks like right now president trump is doing well in counties with large latin communities. if it is close like it is now, they still have

tom: we were just looking moments ago at montpelier, vermont. are emoting -- they vermont, howard dean's where every vote counts, and a very interesting part of the nation. kevin cirilli will not be counting votes in vermont or new hampshire, not part of the tension here today. our chief washington correspondent will be looking at the other little towns. to talk about montpelier or dixville notch really shows the importance of every little town. what have you gleaned from the little towns of america in the last few days? kevin: here we are and what is an american tradition. this is a ritual that americans have participated in since the sounding of our country -- since the founding about our country. while it is important as we sprint through today, as well as the early hours tomorrow, and maybe even the days after, that we take a moment to pause, take a deep breath and knowledge -- and acknowledge the historic nature of today. i have my eye on erie, but the vania.- in erie, but the -- my eye on it, pennsylvania. on erie, pennsylvania. continue.

winner in vermont. >> that's the new call.just got that in. not a surprise but yes. let's go to rehema ellis in philly. the democrats are hoping for a high turnout to break out what happens in other more rural parts of the state. what are you seeing? >> what we're seeing here is that right now, in this philadelphia area that we're in, the voting has been quiet. it was very heavy in days leading up to this. they got a lot of mail-in ballots brought into the state. so many people went out and stood in line to cast their ballots early. we talked to people and found out one of the things they were really concerned about here was covid-19. for the first time they had over 400,000 mail-in ballots for this election and they received more than 330,000 before this election day began. so that's why they think, they didn't have very long lines here. but the other parts of the state, they did have long lines. one of the things really important here, they tell us it is not likely they'll be able to call this race for either candidate becau

after months of campaigning cold temperature biden abort their campaigns to a close who's open in vermont and one of donald trump has again suggested that he might not accept the rules. at least 3 people have been killed and 15 others injured in the austrian couple of vienna interior ministry is calling it a terrorist attack several men armed with rifles opened fire starting at the city's main goals. ivory coast president ellison we're told that has been declared winner of the presidential election the electoral commission said he secured 94 percent of the votes but the opposition says it is ignoring the result and creating its own transitional government in boycotting sunday's election and say that president ouattara should not have been allowed to stand for a 3rd term and would address it in a budget he says the opposition will continue its push to oust retard regardless of the electoral commission's announced it's going to be difficult for the government to set down and watch it or for to be challenged but that is what the opposition outlined and that is what the tend to pursue for the

he said, for example, states like vermont had not changed their election procedures in response to covid when impact vermontas sent ballots to all registered voters to make it very easy to vote by mail, which is the kind of thing that the trump campaign is opposing. i belve that brett kavanaugh's opinion was a form of election interference. he was trying to delegitimize the counting of votes. the most disturbing part of his opinion in addition to the factual errors was when he sa that votes counted after election day could lead to suspicions of impropriety. that is simply not true. every single state counts votes after election day. both are not certified until at least a week after the election in nearly every state of the country. military ballots frequently come in after election day. during the florida 2000 recount, brett kavanaugh took the position that military ballots should be counted in florida even after they arrive after election day. so kavanaugh is making a completely different article -- argument now that in 2000. there is no consistency. he is laying the groundwork to help

yesterday vermont certified bid biden's win for another three votes. south dakota and oklahoma certified wins for president trump totaling 10 electoral votes. today trump's wins in wyoming and south carolina were also certified adding another 12 electoral votes in the president's column. you will notice president's aren't clieing voter fraud in any of these states. they're only focused on spreading that toxic lie in states they think will help them unseat the democratically elected government. but as we watched the election results being certified, this process will go on through december. and as we think about what happened in this election, it's an opportunity for all of us to take a step back and marvel at the fact that this is an enormous, complicated country that quite literally contains multitudes. 72 million people voted for donald trump, and 77 million and counting -- that will go up -- voted for joe biden in the tallying completed so far. and all of us, trump voters and biden voters, we share this country together with each other. what it mean

i am struck by the fact is they call people around the state of vermont which is like your state, every other state has suffered from covid. i complement a republican government who's kept the numbers down lower than practically any other state in the country. what we are facing winter does not seem to be working with a huge mistake he made in not accepting the fact we lost a much time preparing for their still not equitable prepared for it but we could take some hope in news with new vaccinations but that's going to take months before that can be fully implemented. reason i mention this is the senate time and time again is voting on judicial nominees that it been recommended predominantly by specialer interest groups which are different special interest groups. we have to vote on the special interest for an appointment. her suffering because of covid. this business people small b&bs, they have restaurants not carrots republican or democrat they say we can't open what are we going to do. but it is been denser kids can go back to school? the school said they could do something but they n

from the state of vermont. he died on the 20th of july 1918.couldn't have told you much more than that. but i can tell you a lot more and show you a photo of him now, thanks to the family visit. i happened to be here working, it was a weekend. two ladies and a man came up through the gate. from the state of ohio. and, in fact they came packing his story. she was the great niece and the great great niece, her daughter. what was interesting is they had kept his letters, diary, photos in the family. they made high-quality copies across and kept his story alive. and if not for that family also sharing with me, perhaps his story would be lost. again, the family -- that is an important connection that now i get to tell his story, a little bit about what he was thinking, feeling, what he was doing. we can always guess what a young soldier, a young private from vermont, he had just celebrated his 20th birthday on the fifth of june, 1918. he lived only to be 20 years old. we can guess what you guys were thinking, thinking about going home. how miserable

americans would feel like we owed france, they helped us in our warm, we still don't like the british vermont. but for george washington, the first president, the notion of neutrality was preferable. we don't really have any money. we didn't really have a navy, at all. our army was not much to speak of, so we certainly weren't in a position to go and fight a war. and certainly not in europe, we would have probably been fighting our neighbors in british canada, those days. so he is going to present with his cabinet approval, a neutrality proclamation, which starts, again, dividing us into this question of are we doing more to help friends? now in the same notion of keeping us out of war, george washington will send john jay, who was at that time our first chief justice of the supreme court, sent him to britain to negotiate a new treaty with the british. again, with the idea of keeping us out of this european war, and settling some of those questions of border and ocean rights and such. we were arguing those with the british. john j had been on the team that negotiated the peace treaty, so he s

we could always guess when a young soldier, a young private from vermont, you are just celebrated his0th birthday in 1918. he lived only to be 20 years old. we could get as most of the guys were thinking, about going home, about how miserable they, were they had to see this through, even if they agreed that, yes, this is something we've got to fight for, a common cause, with our french allies. i can tell you, all those things were true with ludger. he kept talking about this is the final birthday i'd have to celebrate from home. as it were, he didn't get to use the return ticket he was provided. he never lived to see past day three of combat in the area. i use his story as an example, because he could have a similar story with a guy who is buried on his left or right, but i don't know. i can tell, you with his letters, with his words, and i can look just down, past that red tiled farm, up the ravine to the right, he would have fallen somewhere right up there. 10:15 minute walk from right here. we can literally walk intended 15 minutes, and be right in the area where he was killed. >>

the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: mr. president, i'm struck by the fact, as i cal people around my state of vermont, which is, like your state, every state, is suffering from covid, althou our -- i will compliment our republican governor, who has kept the numbers dow lower than practically any other state in the country. but we're facing winter, and even today the outgoing prident does not seem to be willing to acknowledge the huge mistake he made in not accepting the fact that we had a covid pandic coming to this country. we lost too much time preparing for it. we're still not adequately prepared for it. we could take some hope in news of new vaccinations. but even those going to take months before that can be fully implemented. the reason i mention this, mr. president, is that the senate time and time and time again is voting on jicial nominees that have been recommended predominatenantly by special interest group -- predinantly by a special interest group, or a couple different interest groups, and we have to vote on t

landon managed to carry a grand total of two states, maine and vermont. it used to say as maine goes, so goes the nation and they changed it to as maine goes, so goes vermont. one of the most interesting things about this election -- i know some of you have heard of this -- was the famous literary digest poll. polling was in its infancy. the literary digest took it presidential preference poll nationwide and it produced the result that landon would win overwhelmingly. he carried two states. how could they have been so wrong? as we have seen in more recent times, polls are wrong sometimes. even sophisticated ones. this was not sophisticated. why was it so wrong, i asked my students. one thing is -- they usually say olledey say they only p republicans. that is not right. the question was, where did they get the names of the people to poll? this sometimes leads my students down the right path. the answer is that got them from the phone books. so what, you say. that is random, isn't it? people's names in the phone books, and those days you had phone books. th

the district of columbia, delaware, new jersey, connecticut, rhode island, massachusetts, new york, vermont, and a portion of maine, for a total of 129 electoral votes. president trump has one wyoming, north and south dakota, part of nebraska, kansas, missouri, oklahoma, louisiana, arkansas, mississippi, alabama, tennessee, kentucky, indiana, and west virginia, and also just lay there, south carolina for a total of 109 electoral college votes. 270 is the magic number needed to win for the latest let's get to our political reporter greg lee who has more. >> reporter: what we are seeing so far, when you look at that electoral college map in the states that have been called, republicans with president trump are whizzing winning the state. they are expecting these states. democrats with biden, winning the same. we are not seeing any major upset yet but we are certainly paying a lot of attention to the swing states and a couple of states that are in play that may you would not expect them to be in play. texas being one of them. the last time a democrat won texas was 19 76. so far 51% reporting,

john c vermont and millard fillmore representing the nativist american party.ow running for president, buchanan shrewdly invoked the memory of william rufus king. a visitor to wheatland noted buchanan kept a likeness of the late vice president king, who he loved and who did not. to the same visitor, buchanan said he was the purest public man he ever knew, and that during his intimate acquaintance of 30 years, he had never known him to perform a selfish act. the language of intimacy helped to underscore the purity of their friendship. even from the grave, william rufus king aided his old friend as a rhetorical talking point. as president james buchanan visited the university of north carolina, king's alma mater, where he invoked the memory of his former friend. by then, with the rubble of this union growing louder, his bosom friendship with king must've seemed a distant memory of a bygone age. with each passing year, it obtained a sentimental gloss. the inauguration of james buchanan must've been among the happiest days of his administration. in retrospect, it w

here to discuss, senator sanders of vermont. before we get to that, president trump is still refusing to accept reality and concede the election to president-elect joe biden. how worried are you that he could actually try to stay in power beyond january 20th? what level of threat do you think the lack of progress on a transition poses to the country? >> i am less and less worried about it, because as more and more victories state by state are confirmed for biden, i think public support in any way, shape, or form is going down. i will say this, jake. trump will have the distinction of doing more than any person in the history of this country in undermining american democracy. the idea that he continues to tell his supporters that the only reason that he may have lost this election is because of fraud is an absolutely disgraceful, un-american thing to do. and i would just hope to god that he has the decency in him to man up and say, you know what, we fought hard, we lost the election, good luck to joe biden, i love america. but th

senator bernie sanders of vermont joins me now. senator sanders, thank you so much for being here. clearly a win for the democrats in the white house. joe biden is the president-elect, but disappointment in the results in the senate and the house. what went wrong? >> well, i wish i knew di de fientively, but i think -- diff idefinitely, but i think dt candidates focused on defeating a pathological liar and that's enormously important, but i don't think we did quite a good as job as we should have. in speaking to working families who, today, are probably in worse economic shape than anytime since the great depression, and we did not make the case that we're prepared to take on powerful special interests, we're prepared to raise that minimum wage to at least 15 bucks an hour, provide equal pay for equal work, make it easier for workers to join unions, create millions of good-paying jobs, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, making public colleges and universities tuition-free, expanding healthcare to all people, so i think we probably were not as strong as we should have been in
