that will help joe biden. you have rural counties around the state that i think are going to help trump as they come in. and so, again, that's why when you look at maricopa county, which is, again, by far the biggest -- and we thought this update from maricopa was potentially going to cover just about all of their remaining vote. i think there is still -- again, i think there's still probably 40,000 votes that are still left to come from maricopa county. so, you know, again, there's the potential here for biden to gain in pima county, for trump again to make a gain in maricopa county on par with the one you just saw. if the one you saw happens again with the remaining vote in maricopa, that could come down to 14,000 or so. again, it could go up a little bit with pima county. and with the rest of the state, you could see trump reducing it further, you know. it's tight. get it inside 10,000. does he get it to zero? >> i'm not sure. okay. stand by. let's check in once again with rich fitzgerald in pennsylvania. i

virginia goes for biden. 13 electoral votes to go biden. take a look at the electoral college map count. right now biden has crossed 200. he has 205 electoral votes. right now trump has 114. 270 needed to win the presidency. let's take a look at the key race alerts. arizona right now, look at this. 76% of the estimated vote of arizona is in. biden is ahead in arizona by more than 207,000 votes. 53.6% to 45% for trump. let's go back to john king right now. arizona. 200,000 vote lead right now. with that number, that percentage of votes in, that's significant. >> it is indeed. that's 2016. let me come back to 2020 through my time warp. it is a flip, right? it is a traditionally red state so you'll be more cautious before you call it. we want to wait and see. you're up to 76%, a 207,000 vote lead. this is the bread and butter of arizona. 60% of the vote, maricopa county. just shy of 800,000 votes. 54%. let's go back and take a look. hillary clinton, 702,000 votes. this time, 798. 96,000 more votes and we're not quite complete here. what does t

joe biden. >> richard ben cramer writes about your brother as a child and said joey was always quick with a grace born of cocky self possession. he didn't like some kids his age double think himself. once joey set his mind it wasn't like he thought at all. he just did. >> the more serious he set his mind to do is he stuttered terribly and he really couldn't string more than three or four words together at a time and he determined that he was not going to be defined by stutter. >> teenage boys can be pretty harsh, even cruel, and he used to get teased a lot. they called him stutterhead. for short they called him substitute. >> so the summer before joe biden's junior year poetry helped him lose his stutter. >> i would do poetry to try to say meek young man grow up in libraries. >> that's emerson. >> yes. and the reason i did it was to try to get a cadence to how you speak. when you're able to change the cadence of what you do and say it seems you can overcome it somehow. >> i think all of us were

jill biden. i also couldn't be prouder to congratulate kamala harris for her ground—breaking election as our next vice president. under circumstances never experienced, americans turned out in numbers never seen them once every 30 is counted, president—elect biden and vice president—elect harris will have won an historic and decisive victory. sojoe biden has won the race to become the next president, defeating donald trump by following a cliffhanger vote crank. here is nick bryant with a profile of the president —— count. he has one of the most electrifying smiles in us politics. joe biden has fulfilled his personal american dream. he is about to become the occu pa nt of dream. he is about to become the occupant of the white house. this former vice president was the candidate who offered softjazz after the heavy metal of the trump yea rs after the heavy metal of the trump years was that easy listening moderation. a presidency americans could have on in the background. eight years of don

joe biden understands that. he's said throughout the campaign he understands that, and it's going to be job number one for him to bring this country back together. >> it'll be hard to figure out. joining us now mayor keisha lance bottoms of atlanta. mayor bottoms, it's glad to have you joining us during this really incredible moment in history. measure the moment in your thoughts right now. >> oh, i'm getting very emotional that this day is here. looking at what i call my biden book, the last second i wrote in here of 19 that i'd endorse joe biden and i felt very vulnerable. and the reason i felt so vulnerable is it didn't make sense to support him at the time with what i knew, and i didn't know him well at the time that he was a good man. and looking at my children and the excitement and how they erupted when this was announced really just validated what i knew then that our kids were watching us, and they were depending on us to get this right. and my children have -- and this is a man who has a heart who can

biden jr. is elected the 46th president of the united states. >> and so the man who will be 46 began behaving as the polar opposite of 45, taking on the pandemic and not down playing it. >> i will spare no effort, none, or any commitment to turn around this pandemic. >> trying to unite the country, not divide it. >> folks, i will work as hard for those who didn't vote for me as those who did. >> and charting the nation on a very different course. >> let this grim era of demonization in america begin to end here and now. ♪ bring me a higher love ♪ there's that higher love ♪ i keep thinking of ♪ ♪ bring me higher love [ cheers ] >>> there are a few first ladies who really are milestones, cultural milestones. who help us understand what's going on in larger society. >> it took me some time doing a little dreaming to be standing right here today. >> she hasn't forgotten that journey and the challenges that she faced. >> when you have worked hard and done well and walked through that doorw

well joe biden as a worse record than donald trump joe biden was for the iraq war joe biden did libya joe biden did it. a genocide in yemen joe biden prosecuted whistleblowers joe biden kicked 5100000 families out of their house in a similar economic decline when he had the chance joe biden open the arctic to drilling twice whenever a shot i'll ask joe biden took us from 2 wars to 7 joe biden made the banks bigger i get joe biden bill cages that they're putting immigrant children in joe biden gas them at the border joe biden bombed muslim countries for 8 years straight which is why there is a muslim record refugee crisis at the airports and the only time the american people cared is when donald trump banned muslims at the airport they never bothered to ask themselves why are there refugee muslim refugees at the airport because barack obama joe biden just bombed them for 8 straight years so the idea that joe biden is the antidote to donald trump when he has a worse record to head out of trouble is a mental gymnastics games that people have to play in their head because they can't stand

chanting biden harris. holding up signs that now they have walked more than 30 falk's out of times square and we're with them the whole time and it's been remarkable seats because as they're walking through. the streets of new york city people that are in their businesses people that are in their apartments and people that are having late lunch at outdoor patio as are all getting up and clapping chanting and cheering them on as they move down through that city. it just shows you how important that young people were in this election the black lives better movement that was really fueled on the streets by young people and how. it was so important for the fight in an harris campaign but bottom line is we've seen in credit for. going to incredible signs people holding signs saying i'm proud to be an immigrant other people holding signs saying we will be back in the pair's climate accord and others saying your fire in reference to donald trump so this is certainly a scene of celebration happening all over new yo

you see how well joend biden i doing. you say, okay, joe biden has a shot. down again, behind 372,000 at midnight last night. you have a shot as they continue the count there. if you go west, arizona, this would be a flip. if joe biden could win arizona, it would be a flip. it was a trump state in 2016. you have to go back to bill clinton in the 1990s for a democrat to carry this. you see right now 50.7%,. so 79,000 vote, wolf, it was 207,000 last night at midnight. biden had a big lead in arizona last night. it is shrinking as we continue to count the votes there. trump had a big lead in georgia last night, it is shrinking. tension in both campaigns as they watch the count out. when you look here, this is where the last piece of votes came in. the last time an installment of votes, it was from maricopa helping the president narrow the gap a little bit. the question as these come in, do the next batch of votes from maricopa, does joe biden do better and pull away more or does the president continue to narrow the gap? that is just a fascinating dynamic. in ar

joe biden got 31,433. so the good news for donald trump is with that addition to the vote, he gains on joe biden statewide. but we keep saying this every time we get one of these updates. we know that trump is going to close ground with biden. is he going to close enough ground to overtake him statewide? to do that, he's got to be getting about 60% of the outstanding votes because i mean this is a big chunk of what's left to come. we just got 70,000 votes reported out here. trump got 54.9% of the votes that were just counted out. that's good, but that is not the good pace that he needs. that's not good enough for trump from a pace standpoint if that makes sense. it's a 29,861-vote lead that joe biden has statewide in arizona right now. of all the remaining votes, we say trump coming into tonight needed to be winning on average 60% of them. so the question when we got this update from maricopa, this giant update that just came in a minute ago, was trump getting 60% or more? if so, okay, maybe he's got a dec

joe biden. these are the mail-in ballots, democrats voted by mail, joe biden has been winning. percentages like that, above 70% in all these counties in southeaste southeastern, pennsylvania. this is philadelphia. montgomery county, 95%. bucks county, 49.9 to 48.9. that's the most conservative of the suburbs. they're up to 89%. look at chester county, up to 95%. what we're waiting for most is the city of philadelphia. joe biden getting about 80% of the vote and they still have votes to count. big potential for joe biden and again if you're at 253, pennsylvania's 20 would put you over the top. we'll watch that as the count continues there. if joe biden can't get pennsylvania he needs two, and one of them we're watching is georgia. late on election night, tuesday night, donald trump was pulling out to what we thought was an impressive lead but as they count the mail-in ballots, especially, you see a lot of red. the president runs it up in rural georgia as he does many a see cities and suburbs in t

joe biden may now be president—elect biden, but it has by no means been an easy road for him. the family bereavements he has suffered have been well reported, but what's less well known is that joe biden spent the majority of his childhood overcoming a stutter. the former vice president has been more open recently about the condition, saying it still impacts him now. his story has inspired many other who stutter, including brayden harrington, who met him on the campaign trail, and was also giving the opportunity to speak live to america at the democratic convention earlier this year. hi, i'm13 hi, i'm 13 years old. withoutjoe biden, i wouldn't be talking to you today. about a few months ago, i met him in new hampshire. he told me that we were members of the same club. we... s starter. it was amazing to hear that someone like me became vice president. that was a fantastic speech. i'm delighted to say that braden and his dad join us 110w. say that braden and his dad join us now. congratulations on that speech. second, you talked about your club. 0ne second, you talked about your

he was for biden actually. a moderate republican for biden. 52 for trump. 47% for joe biden. if you round it up. if you go back in time to four years ago, again, we had the third-party candidates did better. that's one of the stories of this year. the third-party candidates did not do as well. the president won it by two points, three points if you round up there. back in here. it's about the same. maybe a little bit more of a trump lead. the question is where are the rest of those votes? here's what you have to do. remember, the reason we need patience to get through this process, everyone has to remember three different kinds of votes this year. people who voted by mail, they tended to be especially in pennsylvania disproportionately democratic. we know that from the data. people who >>> and the election day vote, this is one of the states you have to gi the president credit and the trump campaign for the late rallies. those are super spreaders, mean in turning out votes on election day, it worked for the president. he was behind just like in 2016. the trump rallies did bri

i think biden because he thought the case against trump kind of would make it solid biden was not aggressive about pressing his own message he did not have a coherent economic message if you look at florida florida by referendum overwhelmingly approved a $15.00 an hour minimum wage that's something that joe biden supports and that's what it donald trump opposes but joe biden did not run television ads about the 15 hour minimum wage joe biden talked about i mean i and i don't believe you ever ran any ad words and a lot of them for inserting it acknowledged by and into the nation's congress is that because he said he was scared that that would frighten off you know the suburban right wing voter that he seemed to be caught and was that always a problem when public opinion kept showing up in irony for medicare for all and for a social safety net and so on yeah i don't actually think these are unpopular with sobre i don't think the new voters that hillary and biden and that you don't need a new term elections brought into the democratic party are a verse to issues like the $15.00 minimum wage exp

that puts joe biden -- that win will put joe biden above the 270 electoral votes that he needs to win the electoral college. joe biden now has 273 electoral votes for president. donald trump has 214, as of this hour. five states have yet to be called. president-elect joe biden will address the nation tonight from wilmington, delaware. he will be joined by vice president-elect kamala harris. she tweeted this video of the moment she called joe biden to celebrate their win. >> caller: we did it! we did it, joe! you're going to be the next president of the united states! [ laughter ] >> celebrations are already happening across the country, including outside the white house where cheers erupted in support of joe biden and kamala harris. president trump is not there to hear it. the president is at his golf course. here are supporters of president-elect joe biden celebrating his victory. >> we believed in our hearts that biden was best for the united states! >> we made history! [ cheers and applause ] >> short time ago, president-elect joe biden released a statement saying "i'm honored and

on the welcome to the program democratic candidate joe biden has won the u.s. presidential election after sealing victory in the battleground state of pennsylvania of the 99 percent of votes counted and sylvania biden won 49.7 percent and trump won 49.2 the 20 electoral votes biden takes home in the state allowed him to surpass the 270 needed to win the election according to projections by the associated press he also picked up 6 and nevada giving him a total of $290.00 electoral votes to republican president donald trump's $214.00. democratic supporters across the country have been reacting to the news of president elect by success from philadelphia to black lives matter plaza in washington to new york times square people didn't want to hide their relief and excitement let's take a look at those reactions. to me me every time my mother is a disabled woman who goes directly to medicaid and medicare and said no a day. out and you can no longer mess with those programs is the thing we was was having. you believe that i was dead right i didn't was best for the uni

to celebrate joe biden. hello i'm barbara sarah this is al jazeera live from london it's just after 21 g.m.t. and there's only really one major story right now joe biden has been declared president elect of the united states it follows more than 4 days of painstaking ballot counting in a handful of swing states as counting continued biden overtook donald trump in pennsylvania and georgia and maintained his lead in arizona and nevada he eventually secured more than enough electoral college votes to clear his path to the white house or biden supporters are gathering a rallies across the u.s. celebrating the democrats' victory one of the biggest celebrations is just in front of the white house thousands of people have poured on to black lives matter plaza in the capital chanting cheering and singing. let's speak to a white house correspondent kimberly how kid who is in washington d.c. for us says so kimberly it is being contested by the trump campaign but it does seem that joe biden after 4 days of painstaking

the best buy's president barack has ever had mr joe biden. and he resigned to never quite reach in the nation's highest office until donald trump came along that's why the dam announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. as you know we have to with this decades of experience biden said he was the man to restore america's standing in the world that he was the man for the moment i'll be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over he promised a sure leadership in the midst of the coronavirus condemning. it's estimated that nearly another 210000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year anough no more. let's just set partisanship aside and the politics and follow the signs. alternately the voters agreed and made joseph biden the $46.00 president of the united states of america. time lucky. well he is all over it is in biden's hometown of wilmington delaware all over when can we finally expect to see joe biden well we're waiting for

jill biden. she knows her way well around that family and their work and we're joined by cornell belcher from the obama team as well. both of you have a firm understanding of what kinds of pins and needles there can be on a night like this for a campaign. i want to go right to you on the bidens and specifically, of course joe biden as the candidate in the lead. how do you think from your knowledge of him he's approaching this and something even as straightforward but as high stakes as when does he speak again? does tonight look like if there is no call? does this weekend look like against an unusual income bent preside -- incumbent president who is behind? >> a lot of people have that question. when is joe biden speaking? why isn't he doing it sooner? we need this. those are valid questions but the reason people voted for joe biden is because of this moment, in moments of chaos and uncertainty, he offers calmness. in moments of division, he offers unity. and i think the most important thing that

this is something that the biden team knew. this is something that the biden team was prepared for. they've been working behind the scenes for weeks meeting with health officials. in fact just last week vice president joe biden and senator kamala harris met with health officials about the pandemic. today, as you mentioned, the president-elect is going to be revealing more details about that 12-person coronavirus task force that he has put into place. he's going to be giving statements later today about what his plan is going to be to move forward with the pandemic and how to deal with the pandemic. that will obviously involve things like more of a national sort of plan to test people in this country, increase testing in the country. so, this is the number one priority set forth for this new incoming administration, and it's a very tall order. >> yeah, it all sounds incredibly encouraging, but realistically, jason, how much can the president-elect achieve in the next 72 days while he waits to take office on january 20th? >> well, look, it's a good question. obviously there are a grea

there isjoe biden. at one debate, joe biden did not leave the stage, taking questions from people in the audience. joe biden knows almost all the people in this parking lot, he knows people in delaware, in wilmington, he is a regularjoe, that is what he is known as. he is enjoying his moment of victory, as he should. he has tried to become president twice before and he has finally made it. at the age of 77. the family have all gone. he has a security around him. he will be followed with security for the rest of his life. former president of security for the rest of their lives. the stage is cleared, the families have gone. what you were saying, gary, about wondering what president trump isa wondering what president trump is a thinking, assuming he has been watching this, i spoke to a democratic specialist who said, there is this significant moment today, when you see these people celebrating around these people celebrating around the country and he was reminded of 2000 and how important it is, ina of 20

joe biden was to try and win them back. and he took wisconsin, he took michigan, which meant that when the day started, he was on 253 electoral college votes, he needed 17 more to become president. there were various routes, either via the south—west — nevada and arizona, or simply through the state where he grew up, pennsylvania. he grew up in scranton. and a few hours ago, that's what happened. he took pennsylvania, that took him over 270 to 273. we're still waiting on some states — north carolina, georgia, arizona, actually, nevada's been projected as well. he currently stands on 279. it doesn't matter what happens in these other states, he already has enough to be the president elect. now, one of the things that will define his presidency is how much progress he can make with congress. let's look at both houses of congress. the senate matters more because it's a tighter political contest. the democrats have a6, add in two independents who tend to vote for them, they're on a8, so are the republicans. there are four

, joe biden has the last laugh. what will the transition look from one administration to the next. >>> all right. good morning, this is "early start." i'm christine romans, and i'm laura jarrett. about 29 minutes past the hour here in new york. no concession, no problem. a biden transition official tells cnn that we're preparing for a new administration is moving full steam ahead. despite president trump rejecting the election results, biden's top priority, coronavirus, and with good reason. there were nearly 106,000 new cases yesterday in the u.s. the last five days in the u.s. are the five worst days anywhere in the entire pandemic. >> that's right. 43 states now are adding cases, exactly zero are seeing cases decline. hospitalizations in the u.s. now climbing toward a new high point for the pandemic. president-elect biden appealing to the entire country for help. >> refusal of democrats and republicans to cooperate with one another is not some mysterious force beyond our control. it's a decision, a choice we make

i love joe biden. he will be a great president. >> reporter: obama back out today in florida and georgia, a state biden's team thinks is increasingly competitive. and he's blasting trump for saying he might fire dr. anthony fauci. >> one of the few people in this min straight who has been taking this seriously all along and what did he say? his second term plan is to fire that guy. >> reporter: biden says he has a better idea. >> elect me and i'm going to hire dr. fauci. and we're going to fire donald trump. >> reporter: and as the president says ballots arriving after election day shouldn't be counted, biden telling americans, it's not up to him. >> the power to change the country is in your hands. i don't care how much donald trump tries. there's nothing -- nothing he's going to do to stop the people in this nation from voting. it's time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. we're done. >> let's get to mary bruce, live with us at heinz field in pittsburgh tonight, where joe biden will wrap u

joe biden has declared victory in the u.s. and elections he and his running mate harris addressed the nation from his home state of delaware he spoke of unite. a country that has seen deep divisions with racial unrest and a pandemic often dominating the headlines a white house correspondent kimberly hall reports. addressing the nation for the 1st time as president elect joe biden spoke to a divided america and appealed for unity. people of this nation have spoken. they've delivered us a clear victory we've won with the most rooms ever crash from presidential ticket and the 1st to the nation $74.00 america. he promised to be president for those who voted for him and for the more than 70000000 who did not it's time to put away the harsh rhetoric floor the temperature see each other again missionary trail there again and i made progress we have to stop treating your opponents as our enemies they are not our enemies there are americans. wearing white in honor of the women who a century ago fought for the right for women to vote vi

joe biden out of sight. since election night he's urged calm and patience as the votes are counted. >> each ballot must be counted, and that's what we're going to see going through now, and that's how it should be. >> reporter: biden has vowed to beat back any legal challenges, tweeting, we have assembled the largest election protection effort in history. but on a staff call this morning, the message from top campaign officials was "we did it." the team told to enjoy this moment. publicly biden already signaling the nation's problems wicannot wait. >> we're reminded, again, of the severity of this pandemic. cases are on the rise nationwide, and we're nearing 240,000 deaths due to covid. >> reporter: his meaning clear -- joe biden is ready to get to work. >> mary, we can see the stage behind you, the lights set up. the biden campaign saying they were planning a primetime speech tonight, though it remaining unclear if they'll move forward if the a.p. and networks don't project a winner. what are you hearing? >

mr biden will be the next president. well dr lark since 20161 of the main things the democrats have done the question the live the legitimacy of donald trump is point to foreign meddling do you think that with a biden presidency the script is going to be flipped or what do you think are the republicans just going to kind of drop that strategy. art the short answer is i don't know the longer more nuanced answer is i don't know but i have some ideas i think i don't think there's any doubt that governments outside the united states are very much interested in what takes place in the united states and i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that governments including that of russia and the people's republic of china as well as iran have tried their hand to try to influence american american votes my personal opinion is that it's not going to have much impact the american people will decide what they want for our own parochial or provincial reasons so i doubt that any sort of effort even a sophisticated effort by th

joe biden has done it. four days after the us election, the bbc now projects he has won the presidency. he became president—elect that we projected on to win the state of pennsylvania, and in the last half hour, the bbc is also projected him to win nevada as well. joe biden will address the nation tonight. he says he is honoured and humbled. as vice president—elect kamala harris had this message of congratulation. we did it, we did it, joe. you are going to be the next president of the united states. mr biden ‘s supporters take to the to celebrate these. to celebrate —— mr biden ‘s supporters take to the to celebrate —— take to the streets to celebrate —— take to the streets to celebrate. these are live pictures from new york city. he is due to speak in a few hours. president trump has been playing golf. it seems unlikely he will concede in a conventionalfashion. he has claimed again without evidence that he won the election. so, in the last few hours, we have had the news we have been a

well, we haven't stopped hearing about covid from joe biden. we have stopped hearing about covid from donald trump. he seems not to acknowledge it. as you point out, he's more concerned with fox news and how they treated him and their ratings, and what his own future might hold in terms of perhaps becoming a tv star, who knows? and potential presidential contender in 2024 than he is about making sure people do not continue to die from the virus. >> you know, bakari, one by one, we're beginning to hear from senators and others who say the transition now must move forward, at least when it comes to highly classified intelligence briefings for the preside president-elect. are the flood gates about to open as more and more republicans come to terms with reality? >> i'm not sure the flood gates will be open ed. you're going to have a lot of republicans who see that trumpism is the path to the 2024 election. a lot of people will stay extremely close to donald trump and trumpism. what we are seeing is that many united states senators, they're done wit

joe biden has done it. around the world. joe biden has done it. he will be the next president of the win the key states of pennsylvania and nevada. the president—elect will address the nation in a couple of hours. he says he is honoured and humbled. his running mate kamala harris becomes the first ever female vice president. we did it! we did it, joe. you're going to be the next president of the united states. mr biden and's supporters take to the streets in cities across america to celebrate. this, the scene in washington. meanwhile, president trump is back at the white house after playing a round of golf. he has claimed, again without evidence, that he won the election and his supporters are not losing hope. there are questions about some irregularities and the integrity of those results, and so, my hope for being here is to bring scrutiny to that process. welcome. joe biden has been elected the 46th president of the united states of america. the bbc projected a few hours ago that he crossed the threshold needed of 270 electoral couege thresho

somejoe biden can you not love joe biden? some joe biden friends can you not love joe biden? somejoe biden friends there. the bbc‘s gary 0'donoghue is outside the white house and has been talking to me aboutjoe biden's plans for a covid—19 task force. we are expecting joe biden to rejoin the paris climate change accord. he will possibly undo those executive orders surrounding things like the muslim travel ban, so these will said very very strong m essa g es to will said very very strong messages to america's traditional allies, he will, i'm sure, adopt a more conciliatory tone talks, the belligerents that has characterised trade talks not just retainer but with the eu as well, don't forget, has really scarred the relationship. we have body said today the secretary general of nato welcoming joe biden's victory in the election. nato and the relationship with nato countries, huge damage and distrust has been sown in that relationship over the past four yea rs, relationship over the past four years, so there are a whole bunch of different axes that people in america's allies,

. -- joe biden that way. he's going to try to resist that, but he'll have some backup because that's not realistic, that will never get through a republican senate if the republicans do hold on to that senate. we have two runoffs that will happen in georgia. katie, bar the door, those are two very important elections, everybody's going to be trying to win them. sandra: and now, of course, big questions over what this legal battle looks like. we were told that the president just left the golf course a short time ago, the motorcade was heading back to the white house. we probably will get a look at that shortly, but he's been pretty quiet today, dana, as all this is going on. perhaps we'll hear more from him later, but we know we will hear from joe biden. he's planning to speak at 8:00 tonight. dana: he is. i think the president is letting his lawyers and spokespeople speak for him today. i think that's absolutely appropriate, responsible, the right thing to do at this moment, and i think that it was good that

it's better that biden has won. because it's probably going to turn to some other stories making news around the world the younger prophet of the japanese emperor has been sworn in to become the heir apparent to the throne crown prince for me he was only sworn in as 1st in line of the traditional palace ritual that was close phone for 7 months and scaled down to to the coronavirus pandemic. tropical storm has left dozens dead and hundreds missing is that swept across central america rescue efforts are underway and guatemala and honduras where the storm holds widespread devastation and flooding is now heading towards cuba on the southern tip of florida. you're watching news more headlines at the top of the hour well a view with fireworks show in wilmington delaware celebrating joe biden's election as the next u.s. president thankful. i know nothing out of the well because i'm less than nothing with you but you have been thinking deep into the german culture of. new jersey will take his grandmother they all believe it

well there's of course promised a job biden. made to reach under perry's agreement i think it would be one of the major challenges that would be tackled by the 2 countries the relation with russia as well and you know there was that gas pipeline project russian gas being brought to germany and in the north stream to project and that oppose the u.s. and and barely an end germany so d.s. will be something that will be. retired by as are 2 governments now so those ideas think patients that we can expect so far. are in the arch as reporting for us from berlin i thank you so much. so you've been back to the studio with your stacey's from our u.s. elections team you've been watching this campaign since the beginning you know this doesn't entirely wrap up but certainly is a pin days of expectations and even almost 4 years of a trump presidency itself what are your final thoughts on what we should take away from seeing this historic election well there's a few things 1st of all to trump supporters and donald trump himself counting votes

biden has, and biden got a new bump in nevada. he's hoping to do the same thing in arizona, where new results are expected later today. let's go over to you heard live on cnn, an interview with the secretary of state giving you new information. here in pennsylvania, donald trump has 114,000-vote lead over joe biden. that's with 92% of the estimated vote in pennsylvania. they still need to be counted in pennsylvania. in order to overtake the lead. he has been gaining about 27% of the vote, running well ahead of what he need so this vote, joe biden has been getting 75% of them. so if he keeps up that pace he has the potential to overtake trump. in order to hang on to that lead, which he desperately needs to be reelected. there's no path without it. in nevada we heard from a clark county official there. we have a new estimate there of the outstanding vote. we got some new vote. 48.5% for donald trump. joe biden needs 44 to 47% of them. donald trump would need 52 to 54% of the outstanding votes in order to overtake biden's lead again,

biden's job? corral the senate republicans needed to get it done. >> recovery act passed the house on a straight party line vote. but in the senate it faced a filibuster. that meant we needed three republican votes to get it passed, and it really fell into joe biden's lap to go to capitol hill and persuade those three republicans to deliver those three votes. we got to 60 votes right on the nose. >> so on behalf of this country and its people, mr. president, let me say thank you. we owe you a good deal. >> so just four weeks after the inauguration, the administration pumped $787 billion into a teetering economy. it was risky business, with some democrats complaining it wasn't enough and republicans arguing it was too large. >> we have no assurance that we'll create jobs or revive the economy. in short, we're taking an enormous risk, an enormous risk with other people's money. >> the president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> i've asked vice president biden to lead a tough, unpreced

himself in that speech he made recently here at the convention center of the biden campaign joe biden drawing not on the institutions as trump is doing that is the instruments of legal office the lawyers going to the courts biden drew on the constitution he invoked as you heard at the beginning of this news bulletin that phrase we the people we the people we the people he's invoking the constitution to insist that his campaign and his victory is within the realms and the buying of the constitution this is the basic fundamental law of the united states and it's a very adroit and tactical move by joe biden to invoke the constitution in the face of illegal actions by the trump campaign does many observers contend invoke a sense of presidency which has been absent and people have pointed out as well the constitution is one thing that president trump has been unable to change mike hanna reporting from wilmington delaware the home state of the democratic candidate joe biden let's check in now with natasha going him in madison wisconsin wisconsin natascha where the president has also asked f

indeed a number of outlets have declared joe biden to be the winner and joe biden himself has announced a victory on the basis of pennsylvania's electoral votes count in pennsylvania seems to have joe biden in such a solid lead that he will be the winner when the count is concluded so on that basis joe biden is declaring victory and the people on the streets celebrating his supporters seem to be reflecting those sentiments take a listen. america i'm honored that you've chosen me to lead a great country the work ahead of us will be hard but i promise you this i will be a president for all americans whether you voted for me or not i will keep the faith that you have placed in me now at this point not only has joe biden declared victory barack obama and michelle obama have sent their congratulations to joe biden for his victory furthermore at this point we have a video circulating with vice president elect kamel harris talking on the phone to joe biden and letting him know the results take a listen to that. the lead lead. here given that it's the president of the united states. now at this

joe biden at 264. any of those four key states outstanding at this hour would take a simple win in nevada to put him to 270. donald trump would have to run the board. the president accusing pollsters of cooking their numbers to suppress the gop vote. here is the president. >> president trump: the pollsters got it knowingly wrong. we had polls that were so ridiculous. no blue wave they predicted. they felt like there would be a big blue wave. that's false. that was done for suppression reasons. >> sandra: we're hearing from jonathan turley on the fox news channel coming up as well saying it doesn't do the president any favors. he has his team of lawyers that are going into the key states and almost undermines their efforts to -- for him to have the rhetoric he is at this time. i wanted to get your reaction to that and we'll hear from jonathan turley in a moment. >> the issue of the pre-election polls is different from the issue of the count that's going on right now. look, everybody both parties i think

biden has a nbe

well and the next question to you anthony so biden himself and his son hunter biden have come under some scrutiny throughout this election especially in connection to the sun's business dealings in ukraine do you think under a biden presidency an investigation into that is going to actually be done. i don't necessarily think that will be instituted by president elect biden himself but if there is any wrongdoing absolutely there should be an independent investigation into it just like there were independent investigations into donald trump independence of investigations into the dealings of donald trump's own family including his son in law jerde questioner also you know there were independent investigations into a former mayor of new york city really rudy giuliani who i don't understand why he's making a spectacle of himself now would he himself was also implicated in some dealings having to do with the ukraine bottom line if any wrongdoing has been done the american people absolutely have a right to know about it we have seen thus far though that it's been republican senators who did co

biden. what we have seen consistently is in this county and statewide, you see the president at 39% here in allegheny county, you see him at 49% when you go statewide. look, you see all the red. the president has strong support in pennsylvania. what we have seen consistently over now, the past three days, when they count the mail-in ballots, joe biden routinely disproportionately, his total statewide is 50. he'll get 60%, 70%, sometimes 80%. last night when they were bringing us votes, joe biden was consistently above 60% and 70%. why? democrats voted by mail in this unprecedented pandemic election. and republicans tended to turn out much more on election day. so what is left to count tells you we know it favors biden because that's how democrats voted. not just in pennsylvania, but across america. when you have more than 6.6 million cast, what we're looking for is just proof that this trajectory, slow build continues. because it will be a nary victory. for anyone out there saying wow, the p

he wants to know, has joe biden called republicans, has joe biden called mitch mcconnell? >> first of all, lawrence, thanks for having me. i can't think of a better place to have my first interview. i appreciate it. joe biden has spoken to republicans, some republican senators, republican governors. i'm not going to go into names. he has not spoken to senator mcconnell. senator mcconnell seems to be insisting somehow that president trump won the election. he didn't. there will be a time and a place for joe biden and senator mcconnell to talk. they obviously need no introduction to one another. they have worked together. they have fought each other, worked together and fought each other over the decades. they'll have a working relationship when the time comes, so i think that will all proceed forward in a very fine efficient way. >> because of the weirdness of this transition, i'm going to ask you some questions about these calls that we normally wouldn't care about. did the republican senators call joe biden, or did joe biden call the republican senators? >> i think there'

they need to match biden and they need to do better than biden. the dynamics of what this race is going to be, there will be more money than you can even imagine dumped into these races. these will be with two candidates in the special election. these two races will determine who has the majority in the senate. the amount of money that comes in here but also what is the interest for vote erts? are the voters here after they may have helped elect the president of the united states going the care about a 50/50 senate? i think that's right. are these college educated white voters in the atlantic suburbs who shifted so significantly against donald trump, was it more of a anti-trump movement or a pro democratic turnout? if these are real democratic voters, i think it's a real potential for a real race down there in the senate races that we simply haven't seen in a long time. the interesting element, my day job is on capitol hill. in talking to senate republican operatives, they feel like they're going to be in very good shape here. they feel like they'

biden jr. elected 46th president of the united states defeating defeating incumbent president donald j. trump. one of the most bitter races in modern history. >> biden turned 78 this month. will become the oldest person sworn into the office. his achievement capping four decades of public service and two previously unsuccessful runs for president. dr. jill biden tweeting out this photo today. doctor and the president live here, putting her hand over vice. making history, kamala harris, first person and woman of color to serve in the second highest auf office in this nation. >> we did it. we did it, joe. you're going to be the next president of the united states. >> we have seen jubilant crowds flooding the streets of cities. honking horns, choosing to end the volatile trump presidency and some cities in this country, you can feel the excitement people feel right now. >> yeah, that's certainly the case. president trump has told allies he has no plans to concede, no plans to invite to the white h

biden's reach. good morning, and welcome to ay

joe biden has just joe biden hasjust taken joe biden has just taken the lead. joe biden is winning the overwhelming share... this mightjust be the moment, the whole ballgame. the seemingly overwhelming lead that donald trump had in pennsylvania the day after the election this morning finally evaporated and has become a biden lead. if the democratic challenger wins here, it's game over for the president. pretty soon, the hyphen will be gone from vice—president to president—electjoe biden. it's a happy day for our country. and the march of the maths has been played out in small government buildings and windowless offices in arizona, pennsylvania, nevada and georgia. 1,000 votes here, a few hundred there, all the time chipping away at donald trump's grip on the white house. there will, though, be a recount in georgia, where margins are so tight. in pennsylvania today from the pro—joe biden supporters, the party has already started and yes, there will be dancing in the streets. donald trump, you have to give it up, man. it's over for you! but from donald trum

biden 49.4%, trump 49.3%. biden takes the lead. he is ahead by 5,587 votes with the votes that have just come in, 20 electoral votes in pennsylvania, biden takes the lead. gets go over to john king and see what's going on. john, this is a dramatic, dramatic development. 20 electoral votes in pennsylvania. >> dramatic and potentially decisive. the president cannot win reelection without pennsylvania and without georgia. overnight georgia flipped blue, seconds ago pennsylvania flipped to the blue. we cannot understate this moment. it's not over, still counting votes, but joe biden now in the lead in pennsylvania, in the lead in georgia, in the lead in nevada, in the lead in arizona. more than enough to win the presidency right now. let's see what just happened in pennsylvania, it is blue right now. remember it was red in 2016, donald trump won the presidency in part because of this state, he was ahead, donald trump was, just moments ago, by a little more than 18,000 votes. joe biden now 5,587 votes ahead, votes came in from right her
