A recount and finds lawsuits as he has promised to victory now rules the outcome of the election now hinges on 4 battleground states where mainly postal votes are being tapped and in other news this hour the u. N. Calls for an immediate deescalation in tensions as ethiopias Prime Minister calls in troops following an attack on a military base in the teeth ray beach. Thank you very much for joining us so we begin in the United States way joe biden is pulling ahead in the race for the white house we cannot project away in for biden in the key battleground state of michigan its one of these socalled rust belt states that donald trump won in 2016 helping him deliver the presidency now within the past couple of hours the democrats also flipped neighboring wisconsin. Which donald trump narrowly won 4 years ago and that means that biden now has a total of 264 Electoral College votes while donald trump has 214 remember the magic number of course to become president is 217 now here in yellow youll see the states still in play they include nevada georgia and North Carolina in the south as well as some midwestern states the midwestern state of pennsylvania in particular Donald Trumps campaign has filed several nossel to stop the counting but joe biden is urging his supporters to be patient insisting his on track for victory his address the public for a 2nd time since the vote counting began pushing back against trumps warnings. Im not hearing that weve won but i am here to report the count is finished we believe we will be the winners every vote must be counted no ones going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever americas come too far america is far too many battles bergs endured too much to let that happen we the people will not be silenced weve the people will not be bullied we the people will not surrender my friends im confident well emerge victorious. Now the Trump Campaign is demanding a recount in wisconsin which has also gone to biden after a very tight race there and theres now less than one percent between them so were still waiting on pennsylvania the state where joe biden was born donald trump is still in the lead there d but the remaining mail in ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh and their suburbs giving biden a good chance to catch up. A lawsuit here to calling for an end to the counting of mail in ballots North Carolina is one of several states where trumps claimed victory but the result is still too close to call there as well here 1000000 ballots postmarked by election day are accepted until november the 12th no results from further south in georgia even donald trump leads has been steadily falling there and most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democrat democrat now the 5 remaining states biden would only need to cling on to nevada to claim victory nevadas you know 6 Electoral College votes which will take biden from 264. 00 to the magic number of 270. 00 is naturally leading there with 86 percent of the votes tallied so far in nevada and so once more this is the state of the race joe biden. With 264 Electoral College votes so far just a few away from the 270 needed for victory 214 for the incumbent donald trump now we have correspondents in all the places that matter this hour and a name is standing by in wisconsin mike hanna is covering the Biden Campaign from his home state of delaware kimberly how kate its looking at the top campaign shes our White House Correspondent in washington d. C. For us we go to john hendren in michigan john the Charm Campaign had to find a nasuwt to how the vote counting in michigan but now michigan has been called for biden is this final. Well it certainly looks so fully im at the Michigan State house in lansing at a rally called count every vote and thats where the state is still doing despite that trump lawsuit there have been some self appointed trump poll watchers who his burst into the central counting office in detroit the wall that counting has been going on the police were called in by the counting continues in the state of michigan expects to have the remaining votes counted by the end of the night now 97 percent of the vote has been counted and at that point biden has a 1. 00 percentage point lead which is nearly insurmountable especially when you consider the fact that the remaining votes are early votes and largely from the area around detroit which means democratic anyway so yes this does look final the Trump Campaign could stop the vote with what they claim is that they havent had an adequate opportunity to monitor the vote counting and so they want the vote stop so they can bring people in but in fact the Associated Press has said has monitored people who are at the polls on behalf of the Trump Campaign and the attorney general of michigan says that the campaign has had. Adequate access to all of the vote counting so whatever happens in the lawsuit unless they can in validate a large number of votes this will remain final and it isnt widely seen as a relatively clear victory for joe biden there are about 70000 votes separating the 2 when Hillary Clinton lost this state 4 years ago there were just 10000 votes and she did not challenge the outcome all right thank you john hendren in lansing michigan lets go straight to kimberly how kate covering the Trial Campaign from washington d. C. Kimberly so joe biden getting closer to 270 whats the reaction from the white house from the campaign to michigan being called in favor of finding. Down charges not accepting these results in fact the u. S. President and more specifically his children as part of his campaign have held a News Conference in philadelphia pennsylvania they are alleging that there are improprieties to the count that took place in michigan and as a result they are not only calling to have their own observers look at some of the votes that have already been tallied but theyre alleging that some of those votes tallied may have been manipulated how many votes really have to be. 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think theres only 14 percent of the vote to go if you think were stupid you think were females you know something the democrats do think youre stupid and they do think youre fools and thats why you get called deplorable and chomps. Its over were going to stick with this were going to win this election weve actually won it just a matter of counting the votes fairly. Committee. The noya for Rudy Giuliani very combative there the campaign moving to intervene in pennsylvania disputing whats going on in michigan and theyre focusing a lot of energy on pennsylvania but if biden indeed has won michigan arizona and possibly nevada it doesnt really matter does it. Well the president thinks it does in fact he has tweeted saying that he has claimed pennsylvania also georgia North Carolina and believes that this gives him a big lead in fact he tweeted this some of that tweet was flagged by twitter as being potentially misleading but in fact some of these states may have already been called for joe biden but the president you can tell is in a fighting mood and is just feuding much of what has already been claimed by joe biden this is led to an enormous amount of animosity in the streets of the United States not just of troy but also here in washington d. C. In fact as he came into work today there were posters up around black lives matter plaza saying take to the streets stop trying from stealing this election americans are glued to their mobile phones right now theyre watching very carefully for these results and its safe to say that if this is an election calls for joe biden trying to supporters will not be happy if donald trump does succeed in his legal challenges many will allege that he stole the selection its clear that this is not going to be resolved peacefully or quietly while certainly attend wait for the final outcome can really get in washington d. C. Lets go to my can and i was in joe bidens home state of Delaware Joining us from wilmington nothing is legally over of course mike but biden right now has mathematically the better position. Very much so while the campaign is remaining mute as it has for much of this counting process apart from those couple of appearances by joe biden himself they making very clear that they believe that they are very close now with michigan having being called in bidens column that brings him to 264 votes all he needs is nevada for example that will give him 6 which constitute College Votes which will take him to that magic number of 270 but you heard mention as well the counting in those other states that are still open pennsylvania for example trump leads there by some 300000 votes but there are 900000 votes still to be counted and its estimated that some 70 to 78 percent of these are likely to be pro biden they are 1000000 votes and thats a statistic that weve been looking at consistently so but ive been very very close to victory at this particular point it would appear with these states outstanding the mathematics is very much in bidens favor now we heard joe biden calling on everyone to be patient but the republicans mike pretty combative right now just listening to do Rudy Giuliani in philadelphia a short while ago the president has come out and he said hes won the election and that he wants a recount he want to take this as far as the Supreme Court can we expect perhaps a change in tone and tactics from the democrats given the way the republicans are handling this. Well the campaign has said that it very clearly it will be contest any of these legal actions that the Trump Campaign is threatening some of them what must be pointed out a baseless legal actions but perhaps the strongest argument has come from joe biden 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 hes 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 its 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 lets check in now with natasha going him in Madison Wisconsin wisconsin natascha where the president has also asked for a recount. Absolutely because the margin were talking about is 20000 votes but for now this is a story about the Democratic Partys comeback in the state of wisconsin with biden flipping the state back to the democratic column the edge to head of today as absentee ballots were counted in the cities of milwaukee green bay and can no shock when trump one in 2016 took the 10 Electoral College votes of wisconsin he won the state by less than 23000 votes and he earned the distinction of being the 1st republican president ial candidate to win in wisconsin for more than 30 years so this was something that the Biden Campaign and the Democratic Party did not want to happen again Biden Campaigned heavily in the state so too did trump but the Democratic Party especially poured a lot of resources into the state to ensure biden could flip it responding to the news today the chairman of the Democratic Party in the state said that trump leaned in personally that voters rejected the idea of Voter Suppression they quote rose up and that they. Excuse me and the organizers worked their magic now a Trump Campaign manager as you said is calling for a recount without citing any evidence he said that there were reports of voter irregularities in several counties in wisconsin he also alleged that public polling was a Voter Suppression tactic about that recount so candidates in the state of wisconsin do have the option to request a recount if the 2 top vote getters have less than a one percent margin between them what would happen in this case is that the Trump Campaign would finance a recount. The margin ended up between him biden ended up being less than a quarter of one percent believe it or not recount in the state of wisconsin during a president ial election is not new in 2016 the Green Party Candidate did request a recount she paid 2 and a half 1000000. 00 for that recount the state like many others in the u. S. Had some legal challenges heading into election day that could also factor in the Supreme Court late in the game said that the state could not as play and continue to count absentee ballots through no vote 6 even if they were postmarked by election day the reason the state had planned to do this is because were in the midst of a pandemic and there have been severe delays with the u. S. Postal service that said back to the recount it is worth noting foley that when trump won wisconsin in 2016 he won the state by less than one percent of the name in Madison Wisconsin christianson to me now in the battleground state of pennsylvania christian we heard Rudy Giuliani the president s lawyer very combative in philadelphia a short while ago accusing the democrats so stealing elections remind us of whats happened in pence. Venia why is there a dispute in this state. Will follow you the ballot count is continuing in the Convention Center behind me despite president chops attempts to quit while hes ahead and bring an end to that count the current state of affairs is that he is leading by about 350000 votes but weve seen that number tightening up as more and more ballots are counted not unexpectedly as the late mail in ballots were expected to favor joe biden down the street from me outside of city hall a couple 100 protesters have gathered in response to the president s legal actions they are chanting count every vote and thats exactly whats happening right now behind me but the president s legal team has taken measures to try to stop that theyve accused the state officials and pennsylvania of attempting to scam voters scheming to disenfranchise voters here they want more access for republican observers to watch the count as its happening and theyre also asking the Supreme Court to intervene essentially in a lower courts decision the state Supreme Court of pennsylvania ruled that it was ok for Election Officials to continue counting ballots that were received after election day as long as they were postmarked by election day he is claiming that that is an attempt to steal the election of course pennsylvania officials flatly deny that governor tom wolfe has called this a partisan attack he said that they are working as quickly as possible but as accurately as possible to make sure that every vote counts. Clearly though the Legal Process is happening in the back of this and causing lots of anxiety here as terms of how long it. Take to get those final results continues to say it could be a couple more days christen salumi in philadelphia pennsylvania lets go to florida now and began again in miami forest florida which has gone of course to donald trump an important state a setback for joe biden florida but were watching closely another state in the south georgia whats the latest on the vote count there. Well funny ive been watching this for hours now as those numbers slowly trickle in were about 94 percent of all votes accounted for the gap between biden and trump it is minute its almost negligible at this point but the key thing to remember with georgia is there are about 200000 ballots that havent yet been counted yet and its where those ballots are from thats really important they are from the suburbs of atlanta which tends to be where africanamerican voters live and they obviously go towards joe biden if you look at the other counties in atlanta theyve overwhelmingly voted for joe biden but the latest word from officials in georgia is they are doing their best to count this final 200000 ballots but they may just reduce them today and finally finish them off on friday now all of that may not matter if biden wins our zone or all nevada but there are a 16 Electoral College votes here at stake and remember that this state georgia has been red for decades the last democratic president ial nominee to win there was bill clinton all the way back in 1992 thats quite significant if georgia indeed turned and began again in Miami Florida i think you lets go to game elizondo in new york now where some protests have been taking place we heard from christina from kimberly any about protest in washington d. C. Tell us about whats been happening in new york city. Yeah there are over 6 different protests that have been planned for this evening a couple of them have already started who are here want it Washington Square park its a very peaceful protest probably over a 1000 people here or so they walk many blocks to get here and they all have sort of one message and that message is count all of the votes count every vote and every vote counts were seeing people from all walks of society here young people we saw a lot of the older teen. Well as well but. Mostly everybody here is you know somewhat of a celebrate tory move. But theres also some of. The not knowing exactly until the final votes are tallied who are censuring war so theyre out here protesting primarily to make sure everybody is counted but then you do have some by supporters to almost everybody here whos democrat city of new york says they want every vote counted because they say if it is overwhelmingly the protesters we spoke to have said it will mean. Joe biden is officially going to be the next president so you also see a lot of anger on the streets to a lot of anger we talk to people who say theyre angry that. Their President Donald Trump seem to cast some doubt of the mail in balloting and so this is their chance to get out and have their voices heard. Thank you given his and on the streets of new york fairweather this anger this tension as we wait for the final results of the 2020 u. S. President ial election i want to bring in now democratic congressman. Who is joining us from new york thank you so much congressman for being with us on the program 1st of all i want to ask you about your reaction to the current state of the race we have michigan going to joe biden but the campaign is neuer in not wanting to take this all the way to the Supreme Court what do you make of this. Say futile exercise by the trumpet ministration to try to go d on illegally to power as a paragraph down it will not succeed. There are bargains that are actually bigger than the large years the margin he won by 4 years ago and so were waiting on nevada and were waiting on arizona i think. Vice President Biden is on his way to a victory and we will then have to hell exit naish will have to take the proper measures to heal that as a nation and to repair all the damage that this administration has done. Is going to be difficult for the next leader whoever a he is to to bridge these divisions that were seeing right now i want to talk to you about florida specifically a swing state that trump has won this year a setback for the Biden Campaign and very interesting me when you look at the results and the demographics hispanics voted in favor of donald trump what why have democrats done so badly among hispanics in florida in texas after everything that donald trump has said and done you know to immigrants you know the fact that mexicans he called mexicans rapists and so on why is it still so much support among the Latino Community for donald trump. Well florida has a bit of Heartbreak Hill many times over for us democrats but the fact of the matter is that my party the Democratic Party needs to understand that Latino Community better in fact the Latino Community is not monolithic when you speak to let the adults in florida youve got to be speaking about matters of International Politics when you speak to latinos any york city that medic is you have to speak about family reunification and deportations when you speak to puerto rico you got to speak about Hurricane Maria and the response to Hurricane Maria when you speak to a Mexican American in texas on the border you have to be able to speak differently that you would speak perhaps to Mexican American in california right and so we are very Diverse Community and we are the Democratic Party must take care to understand that or be able to speak to each subgroup in the way that they need to be spoken to and they need to be at the table what this issue is or may and i think we must do better because that is a very a facet of growing boating demographic and i think that in the future it will be even more important than it was this past tuesday certainly though theyll be a lot of soul searching i think in the Democratic Party even if joe biden wins this election because its been so close lets talk about the congressional race the House Democrats might retain the house but theyre expected to new scenes and have done what i said they did in 2018 what went wrong you think. Well many of us i think underestimated a certain reuse but again we need to engage a rule of america we need to listen to them and understand what their concerns are we must not be down. To the plains and the complaints of everyone in america when hes we really need to live by our model which is that we are a Big Tent Party but what we are saying that we are a Big Tent Party that must also mean that we have to have a big table where everybody said sat and everybodys listened to and everybodys concerns are taking taking care of an address appropriately and i think that we need to do a better job at that is that yes were the Latino Community i think there are different demographics in the voting base that perhaps werent all together they are with us and we must get them back it we have a task ahead about right but i think that we are well positioned as a party to make the changes that we need to make and to make our base broader and to try to bring in as many folks as possible under the tent congressman thank you so much for talking to us adriana a spy at the democratic congressman joining us from new york we appreciate your time we appreciate you thank you.
