That might not be enough because it looks as if joe biden has more than enough force to get over the 270. 00 Electoral College vote threshold which of course means he wins the white house but ideally the biden team would like to get to 360 thats within their grasp theres a couple reasons for that one it makes it look slightly more comfortable than just squeezing by on one Electoral College vote id take so we. Only got there because of problems with the voting systems but also 306. 00 is what donald trump achieved 4 years ago so for many in the Biden Campaign there would be an ironic symmetry that biden got to 306 but celebrations here in front of the white house and even here in the. Goodbye that was played i remember. 12 years ago when. The. Obama won the white house for the 1st time but a truly historic moment if this is to go through because of course we get joe biden as president in the United States but also elected for the 1st time to the office of Vice President we have a woman and he should american an africanamerican all in the form of come along this aisle and i just want to remind our viewers here that counts are ongoing in a number of states im just looking at the latest pennsylvania numbers and then as we were saying automatic recount is triggered when the margin is less than 0. 5 percent of the total and that would be just over Something Like 33000 votes and at the moment bidens need is just under 31000 votes so we are hearing a number of networks and the Associated Press call this the by now but that i do want to say the counting is still ongoing can you talk us through the less occasion thats already been put into place and that we might see over the course of the coming hours and days. Of course what we can see is the only recurring can be short circuited by the Charm Campaign coming forward and saying we dont need it we accept the result we walk away and that seems unlikely because as donald trump telegraphed many times throughout the Election Campaign that if you lost the vote he would believe that it had been stolen from him that there had been fraud particularly mail in ballots and that he would take his case as far as the Supreme Court would certainly seen some cases in the last few days there was one in pennsylvania where they said that they hadnt got observers into the room but the judge said look sorta out between yourselves its clear that there are people from both parties in the room and getting to see what is going on there have been other cases in georgia that were through no by the judge of course the Trump Campaign has every right to appeal those to a higher court and they could dismiss it and that appeal process could go all the way. To the Supreme Court but if 3 or 4 courts or 2 or 3 courts reject those hearings then theres no guarantee that the Supreme Court with a 63 conservative majority even begins to consider those cases certainly will be pressure from some inside the Republican Party to go to donald trump and see for the benefit of the country because it is so polarized divided it would be better if you stepped away and there are those who have suggested that donald trump may do that but that goes against everything that weve seen over the last 4 years you remember that we had people seeing their own donald trump becomes president his tone will become much more president ial and he will change you would tweet the way he tweets he would insult people it will be different and it wasnt and people have suggested that when donald trump is on the campaign trail this time around because hes president he wont talk about voter fraud or elections being stolen but he did so the idea that donald trump might walk away and try and see this is good for the country and i congratulate joe biden therefore i concede to be honest to this observer whos been watching dog trump since he launched his campaign we back in 2015 seems unlikely donald trump commands a great deal of respect in the country he demands and commands a great deal of love in the country there are people who firmly believe the donald trump is americas best ever president they will be devastated by this result but there are many many many thousands on social media who are already suggesting that they wont let this go that they will fight it every step of the way and there are those who have supported him over the last 5 years who are no declaring themselves the voice of the new resistance and it is their intention to do everything they can to make things difficult for the new president elect joe biden when he takes on. First on the 20th of january just a word on the if there is and this is all confirmed by the Electoral College and the voters in each and every state which has to be done there is normally a big celebration stands in front of the white house because of covert because of the violence because things wont change markedly over the next 3 months we could see a completely different sort of inauguration for joe biden we saw a different sort of campaign he didnt go in hold huge rallies he didnt go shake hands and kiss babies the way that politicians normally do but what dubai did was secure enough to this stage pretty clear the president elect of the United States indeed will be hearing from the biden camp shortly and ill correspond to marseilles is over there but but before i let you go and i do want to ask you if it does seem now that all major u. S. Networks have now called this race except for fox news and there has been some contention well between the white house and fox news over the last few days since we started seeing these Election Results you mentioned the large amount of aces who did vote for donald trump something not far off from 70000000 americans where looking at a very very polarized United States now where does this leave the Republican PartyGoing Forward he does have supporters within the party he also has those who have been not very happy about what hes been saying since Election Results started emerging this week where does the g. O. P. Go from here. The Republican Party is no the party of trump theres no doubt about it he who opted his supporters they have run for election in many places across the country they have won they have taken seats in congress they have pledged their support in the senate they have reached the upper parts of the Republican Party in many many parts of the country and those who. One election on tuesday night and remember the Republican Party did not lose the house seat where they were standing believe that they were carried to a victory on the back of donald trump and already things will turn to 2024 and who are the likely republican contenders then all of the people who had their eye on that date were never keen to distance themselves from donald trump because they realize that to get through the primary process they have to deal with the voters and many of those engaged voters for the Republican Party are know very much donald Trump Supporters and they will reward loyalty and they will punish those who they believe were not sufficiently keen on donald trump and not sufficiently loyal to donald trump heres something im going to throw out your which might surprise you but those in donald trump have been talking about the possibility of donald trump if you lost the selection running again in 2024 he would be 78. 00 just one year older than joe biden is at the moment many people would suggest that hes still very fit we saw that one month ago we were standing in a Walter Reed Hospital talking about how hed been hospitalized with covert here we are 5 weeks later and he is golfing he went back on the campaign trail within weeks and seemed to recover from the illness incredibly quickly people will say hes a very study in very good health and could run again theres nothing in the constitution to stop them running again in 2024 and they believe he would be successful because he could point to the economy before corporate hit and they would see that with the closure of covert over him he would be able to run a campaign which would unite the Republican Party and would be able to stop whoever the democratic candidate is if that is joe biden or someone else so that is a is a very small possibility that dont trump could run. 21 to 4 but to answer your question the Republican Party is at the moment the party of trump b c he has a base and they need to build or not but with 3040 percent of the electorate very committed to donald trump and the huge part of the electorate being republicans it would be folly for any politician to stay and to soon donald trump at the moment or indeed in the next year or so and he said that you thought that would surprise me doesnt surprise me at all it does seem that trump is and is very much here to stay alan fischer there in washington d. C. For us following all of that live thank you so much allen well lets now get the view from delaware joe bidens home state. Is joining us now from wilmington jamal this is the 3rd time. Has run for president and it does seem that 3 times rocky. Rather does seem the case and finally what seem to be the inevitable has finally at least been announced by the Cable Networks obviously still waiting for that official confirmation but thats come from all those networks and although theres only a handful of his supporters here now because people were waiting for bigger announcement they have been vocal nonetheless lets join now one of those supporters you yeah where you from im from delaware one block away right where you were minton if you want to tell us what youre feeling right now that seems that biden has finally been announced the victor at least by some of the networks youre god this is the most awesome feeling in the last 4 years its been near so right now. He did it we have shown that americans that we are good folks tell me what is it that makes you so happy about it is it something that biden stands for or is it because its just not trump both its what biden stands for. Biden has been for the people i work i live in delaware and work in new jersey he and i get to the train station same time every morning when he was Vice President he student asked ation he greeted everyone he talked to everyone and hes shown us that he is a true leader for 40 years donald trump on other hand. He needs to go this time is over by i want to tell you something ron looking at the results now obviously bidens got more result more votes than any other candidate in history but trump actually got more votes this time than he did in 2016 does not worry you there is room clearly millions more it worries me a lot that we have people out there who things like it does but it doesnt stop us from being united it really doesnt i mean these are people it is their belief theres nothing we can do about it theyre proving to us that this is what they believe in they believe in racism they believe in division and they believe not being a human being these people have no empathy no sympathy not even love to share with anyone so you know what we came out weve shown them our kids have come out weve shown them that we stand for good we stand for the better of this country like alanine the United States of america we have proven that we are united whether or not we got a couple millions out there who races thats one is always going to be that way theres nothing we can do about that we can try to change them but its not going to work it hasnt all the centuries its not so final question just tweeted out he won this election and he doesnt seem like hes going to admit defeat anytime soon what do you thinks going to happen how is biden how is your garden going to end up in the white house if the person there now i think the Supreme Court is going to step in theyre going to step in i believe they are because its clear and fair its its it was an election cast at hillswick counted biden has one electoral votes hes one of the most popular votes hes among the most one the most theres nothing he can do about this he has to go is democracy is what we stand for. And he has no choice and i believe the Supreme Court is going to have to step in unless they want to throw away trash our democracy that we have all these centuries unless that one day that they have to step in you know thank you very much for your time so thats just one of biden supporters were expecting a lot more to converge here in this massive parking lot thats just outside the trace and so theres as weve been reporting for a few days there is a stage thats been set up a massive screen there there is an expected or an expectation amongst people that there will be some sort of a celebration whether by then comes out to address thoughts or not or when he does that were not quite sure but certainly the apparatus the infrastructure has been set up for him the security is there the security cordons all around here and it seems that the patients that. For his supporters to have well they wont need to be. Patient for much longer. Be following all of their celebrations live for you here on aljazeera but before i let you go i have to ask you i do want to mark this this is not just a victory for joe biden this is also a victory for common harris and she is now the 1st female Vice President of the United States how are people taking that. For sure its a huge thing and i think the symbolism that it represents is something very great not just because of its historic nature and thats it has never happened before either for a woman or woman of color to hold such a position but also the fact that it comes off the back of 4 years of administration has been criticized for being essentially filled with a certain background of sorts and for failing to essentially deal with specific problems even though he managed to get more votes from i think minority communities than most people expected but when you look at for example all that happened with the killing of george floyd when you look at whats happened with the black movement when you look at all the other issues of racism but also gender inequality in terms of the things that was accused of in terms of sexism the tapes of the recordings that came out of how he spoke. In a derogatory manner rather of women all of these things obviously will impact just how significant this is but also there is a significant percentage of the population that will look beyond the symbolism because they had a black president but racism is still very much ingrained in many institutions not least the police the criminal service in the Prison Service here in the u. S. So whilst it is a big step forward there is a challenge to do away with these illnesses and joe biden himself acknowledged that when he spoke last night he said that one of the 4 things that he needs to work on is systematic racism so yes its a huge win for many people come out of forest will be seen as a sign of the opportunity that the United States always runs itself is being able to afford but to many people is the challenges that still exist. Jamal there is on the ground for us in delaware thats joe bidens home state joe biden and coming to harris have now won their ticket has won and thanks very much jamal i do want to remind people who are just joining us now that joe biden has now bisa in donald trump and has been declared by a number of us networks and the Associated Press and were calling it here at aljazeera joe biden is going to be the next president of the United States all of that has hinged on a vote count in pennsylvania lets speak to kristen salumi she is in philadelphia where shes been following that very closely for us kristen can you give us a sense of whats the enormity of whats just happened there and i do want to flag as well that we are starting to see some Trump Supporters and gather in pennsylvania clearly there is a lot of tension around this count. Absolutely and pennsylvania has been the target of president trumps ayer and legal maneuvers to attempt to stop some ballots from being counted and declare victory he did that his attorney did that as soon as election day claiming that the president should be declared the winner here but what weve seen in the just the last hour less than the last hour is the Vice President s lead stretched to just under 31000. 00 votes that puts him above the threshold of a half a percentage point hes a ahead by more than point 5 percent now and clearly given that that is the cutoff for an automatic recount that is a significant marker. Maybe you can hear around me some of the horns honking since the news has come out that pennsylvania has been declared for joe biden weve seen people cheering in the streets and people circular. Sitting around talking their horns in celebration the protests that weve seen here in philadelphia have been primarily in favor of joe biden but we have seen Trump Supporters here as well and we know we could see more of them here as well and local officials have been preparing for possible confrontations theres a lot of Police Presence in the streets as well as National Guard troops walking particularly around here or around the Convention Center after a couple of people were arrested for allegedly plotting an attack on poll workers here so again getting back to this lead this goes to a recent dump of votes so the process has been. Proceeding here with the vote count and there are still more to go we estimate as many as 100000 more votes left to be tallied but given that the votes are primarily coming from here in pennsylvania county and also Allegheny County which includes pittsburgh 2 areas of the state that have leaned heavily democratic and the votes there have been coming in a heavily democratic this is why people news organizations like ours and the Associated Press are willing to call this for joe biden but we are also waiting now for a press conference with the president s attorney Rudy Giuliani and one of his Campaign ManagersCorey Lewandowsky they were scheduled to speak just a short time ago in another section of philadelphia to address the ongoing county here as i said this is really been the focus of the Trump Campaign and trying to find a way to get to the votes that he needs in order to overtake joe biden and this was the one state that he needed in order to do that the 20 electoral votes were the only way that he could go. Over the top and so they have been contesting every last vote so far the Court Decisions have not helped them or move in their favor so itll be interesting to see what the reaction is from the Charm Campaign when we get that could be in a matter of minutes although we dont know how this announcement in calling the race will affect them they may be regrouping right now to decide how they approach that and deal with that with the media and data and we have yet to hear from the Trump Campaign the last tweet from donald trump was i won the election obviously that doesnt seem to be the case christensen to me that watching everything for us in pennsylvania thanks so much preston. Well right now we can also speak to that he is at the university of pennsylvania Carry Law School neal thanks so much for being with us i want to start by asking you for your reaction to all of this after all these days of uncertainty it does seem that we now finally have an outcome how are you feeling. Well i think americans are long awaited for this moment its certainly been a lecturing them a campaign unlike any other in history and i think we can be very confident in this projection and in these results in that joe biden will be the next president of the United States and of course im feeling thrilled that senator harris will be the 1st south asian and black woman a white did to the vice presidency in history so its really a special time if you if youre here in philadelphia you hear the cars honking and the people cheering and reminds me of 2000 and a brand barack obama was 1st elected. To stay with me i do want to ask you about some of the legal challenges that we are seeing in pennsylvania but for now i just want to cross back very briefly talk correspondent allen fish and washington d. C. Because allan i believe you have just heard from the Time Campaign about all of this what are you hearing from them. About the fact that we got reaction so quickly suggests that this has been in the making for some time and ready to go let me just read you what the statement from the Trump Campaign says we all know why do biden is rushing to falsely poor the witness and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over joe biden has not been certified as the winner of any states let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts or states where campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate think that in pennsylvania. For example are legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process legal votes decide who is president not the news media beginning monday a campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully up held and the rightful winner is seated the American People are entitled to an honest election that means counting all legal ballots and not counting any illegal ballots this is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence owner election it remains shocking that the Biden Campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and once ballots counted even if they are fraudulent manufactured or cast by an eligible or deceased voters let me just see and fact check the statement as we go along they have presented no evidence of that and that is not what joe biden has been seeing only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the current room and their fight in court to block their access so what is biden hiding i will not rest until the American People have the onus vote they deserve and that democracy demands that statement just in from journal donald trump hes currently playing golf course in virginia this is a statement that was obviously ready to go theres a couple of factors factual errors in there but a new year dealing with the gas so let me hand back to the studio and we will go and do our Fact Checking in the meantime we will stay across that for you here absolutely allan session there with all the very latest from washington d. C. Thanks so much allan well lets now go straight back to jim out i have joe bidens home state of delaware joe biden and joe biden i believe has started to speak out and what were hearing from biden character. So hes just we to. Start america i am honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country the work ahead of us will be hard but i promise you this ill be a president for all americans whether you voted for me or not i will keep the faith that you have placed in me. And thats been accompanied with a video of some sorts assuming that its showing kind of the program that he wishes to follow as a president so that is the 1st time that joe biden has essentially claimed victory since tuesdays vote it is something that obviously is going down very well with the handful supporters that have gathered to celebrate this moment maybe we can speak to some of them here and ill tell you tell us a bit about your feelings right now im so excited i can hardly contain myself with. What makes this such an important day for you. Trump. To get a female Vice President and get people like her in the future like. Thank you very much so you know that speaks to the point you were talking we were talking about earlier about the significance of coming out how is this not just an issue of joe biden winning but obviously you know as popular as joe biden has proven to be with getting all those votes its also. A huge part of the population because whenever we do speak to people one of the things theyre saying is that it is a relief that trump is out the past 4 years have been. To say the least popular with a large section of Society Popular with a large section of the site here as well in the fact that millions also voted for trump in the south here after biden has now announced in the college that he has won these elections we are expecting more and more people to converge this is maybe the busiest its been since weve been essentially camped out here since tuesday expect more and more people to come like i say there you know where when you look over here the huge American Flag thats. Blowing in the wind theres a massive car park underneath the stage just said theres pollutants everywhere. Listening to this. This is like the soul who has just moved into the small snippets of all the atmosphere that well be seeing one so everybody does converge here by then is extremely popular in his hometown both from people who say he was very approachable when he was a senator when he was a Vice President that took her admiration is shared with a lot of his supporters will be sure to come out to your sort of which what they do was a very historic day in the political life will be much too soon for mother. To marseille that and joe bidens home state of delaware on the ground for us amidst all those celebrations thanks so much tamala were also now watching live celebrations in washington d. C. Just outside the white house if you are just joining us here on aljazeera democratic candidate joe biden is now the projected winner of the state of pennsylvania the states 20 Electoral College votes will push him over the 270 mark needed to win the race to the white house some provisional and mail in ballots are still being tallied in key battleground states of pennsylvania georgia nevada and North Carolina well lets now go back to me on makhija hes a lecturer at the university of pennsylvania kerry law school neil we just heard there from our correspondent in washington d. C. Allan that we are expecting a legal challenge will further legal challenges from the campaign and theyre going to stop prosecuting the case on monday what do you make about could anything at this stage in terms of of illegal challenges change the result. No and you cant really say it emphatically enough that everything that came out of the president s lawyers mouth was complete garbage and thats been true for the last 4 years through his impeachment through all of his advisors getting indicted and charged with federal crimes this is the end of the trump era and has happened today and it happened in pennsylvania because the voters voted him out and its completely clear in that you know the a. P. And you see. And all the networks that have called this. Week to see the full count and now its clear that the number of outstanding balances is minimal compared to the margin by which joe biden is winning so i think its time to turn off turn off twitter in terms of donald trump and to really start focusing on where the country needs to go and what we can do to address the pandemic and the devastation that has wreaked on the economy the nail and the kids that lettre at the university of pennsylvania carry into a school will be coming back here a little bit later thanks for that. But right now id like to update all of our viewers who are joining us here on aljazeera live from doha it has just gone 1700 g. M. T. That is midday on the u. S. East coast and breaking news we are projecting that joe biden is now u. S. President elect 4 days after america went to the polls about to still being counted amid protests and several legal challenges by the Trump Campaign bonce we do believe that joe biden is the projected winner of pennsylvania not
