Host we will continue with your calls throughout the morning up until washington journal and then three more hours of reaction and your comments. Lets share the comments we have andd so far from Joe Biden Donald trump. [car horns honking] mr. Biden good evening. Your patience is commendable. We knew this was going to go along, but who knew we were going to go into tomorrow morning or longer. We feel good about where we are. [applause] we really do. Tonighte to tell you that we believe we are on track to win this election. [applause] we knew because of the unprecedented early mail and votes that it was going to take a while. We are going to have to be patient until the hard work of tallying the votes is finished. Its not over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted. [applause] we are feeling good. We are feeling good about where we are. Believe we are confident about arizona. We also just called it for minnesota. We are still in the game in georgia, although that is not one we expected. [applause] good abouting real wisconsin and michigan. Way, its going to take time to count votes, we are going to win pennsylvania. [applause] i have been talking with voters in Allegheny County and they are encouraged by the turnout. The results as early as tomorrow morning. It may take longer. Its not my place or Donald Trumps place to declare the election, thats the job of the American People. I am optimistic about the outcome. I want to thank everyone of you came out and voted in this election. Chris coons, congratulations here in delaware. [applause] john, the governor, the whole team. Youve done a great job.

This is the latest News Conference i have ever had. [laughter] i want to thank the American People for their tremendous support. Millions of people voted tonight. A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people. [applause] i want to thank the first lady and my entire family. [applause] pants andresident misses pants. We were getting ready for a big celebration. Sudden the results have been phenomenal and we are getting ready we were just all set to get outside and celebrate. Such a vote. The citizens of this country have come out in record numbers. This is a record. There has never been any like it. We won states we werent expected to win. [applause] we won the great state of ohio. We won texas. We won texas by 700,000 votes. Clear that we have one georgia. [applause] 2. 5 with only 7 left, they cant catch us. We have clearly won North Carolina. [applause] 1. 4 we are 77,000 votes with approximately 5 left. They cant catch us. See, arizona, we have a lot of life in that. Somebody declared that it was a victory and maybe it will be. Thats possible. Certainly there were a lot of votes out there that we could get because we are coming into what they call trump territory. These were friendly trump voters and that could be overturned. The gentleman that called it said he thinks its fairly unlikely. Fairly unlikely and we dont even need it. We dont need that. There is a possibility, maybe even a good possibility. Since i saw that originally it has been changed and the numbers have substantially come down with a small amount of votes. We want that to stay and play. Most importantly we are winning pennsylvania by a tremendous amount of votes. [applause] think of this. We are up 600 90,000 votes in pennsylvania. These arent even close. With 64 of the vote and its going to be almost impossible to catch and we are coming into good pennsylvania areas where they happen to like me. [applause] we will probably expand that. I looked at the numbers. I said wow, thats a lot. The vote is in. We are winning wisconsin. We dont need all of them. When you add texas in which was not added. I spoke with the wonderful governor of texas a little while ago. Greg abbott said congratulations. He told me to congratulate me on winning texas. I dont think they finished the tabulation. He congratulated me. He said what is going on . On . At is going by 107 thousand votes with 87 of the vote. When you take those three states in particular and you take all of the others we had such a big night. You take a look at all the states that we won tonight and then you look at the kind of margins that we on them by and all of a sudden we won states and all of a sudden they said what happened to the election, its off. We have all these announcers saying they knew they could not win so they said lets go to court. Did i predict this . Ive been saying this from the day i heard they were going to send out tens of millions of ballots. Win they were going to florida was a tremendous victory. 377 texas as we said, ohio. Ohio a tremendous state, a big state. I love ohio. Almost 500,000 votes. North carolina, big victory with North Carolina. We lead by 76,000 votes with almost nothing left. All of a sudden everything stopped. Fraud. A i am an embarrassment to our country. Our goal is to ensure the integrity. This is a big moment. This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. We will be going to the u. S. Supreme court, we want all voting to stop. We dont want them to find any ballots at 4 00 in the morning and add them to the list. [applause] its a very sad moment. [applause] i want to thank all of the people that worked with us. Mr. Vice president , say a few words. [applause] thank you, mr. President. I want to thank more than 60 million americans who have already cast their vote for four more years of president donald trump. [applause] if all the votes continued to be counted we will be remaining vigilant. The right to vote has been at democracy of the since the founding of our nation. I believe with all of my heart in the states you just described and the way that you launched this Movement Across the country. Believe that we are on the road to victory and we will make thank you very much. Host President Trump and Vice President pants speaking to supporters three hours ago.

Ahead, jacob, you are on the air. Guess he couldnt hang on. We will go to brian in medford, oregon. Are you there on our others line . Caller yes i am. Countryoutside of the for 21 years and during that time i had to represent america. Elected at the same time then barack obama got elected and we said all right america. I came back here just a few years ago and didnt really know the political landscape. Are totallyriends trumpish. I could go to the doctor and becauseree consultation that was taken into consideration with our taxes and everything. I came back here and everything cost so much and these guys are like we need to change this. And i understood. I havent been here but i can understand your sentiment. I think its the wrong guy. I think thats what its turned out to be. Host chattanooga, tennessee we hear from a trump supporter. Debra, good morning. Caller good morning. Im really sad. Mind itsmuch on my hard to put into words. I feel so sorry for the American People right now. Travel a lot and i meet people all the time and i have never seen so many Trump Supporters all over the country. Ever ran into any biden supporters. I cant understand this election. I feel like its a fraud. I think the democrats have tried to pull another fast one over on us. I think its sad. I cant imagine anyone who would vote for a senile man who has been in politics for 47 years and never accomplished anything. Donald trump has only been there four years. People dont like his personality. Not what this is about. Its about who can lead this country. I cannot believe anybody would vote for biden. I cant believe they would vote for somebody that week. Hefar as donald trump what has done for america in the past four years he could not help that we had a pandemic. Before that our economy was the strongest in the world than it has ever been. He kept us out of war with north korea, he brought peace to the middle east. Country. Od in our i just cant imagine he is for law order. Biden has not campaigned. Supporter, iump imagine the president does win reelection. What does the president have to betweennd the divide his supporters and joe biden supporters . What do you think joe biden supporters need to do to accept the president possible in president s win . Caller first donald trump the thing he needs to do would be to show the people all of the criminal activity that has been going on. Hes been trying to bring this out and everyone is fighting it. I honestly feel like the politicians in our country are so corrupt and im not just talking about democrats, on both sides. I think those who have been in office for so many years have become corrupt and its all for money. Said n has even he even said it on tape. All he has to do is first of all bring those criminals out and show the people whats been happening. I think hes done needs to try to mend the people who have been lied to especially because i feel like the American People have been lied to by the media and a lot of the propaganda. I listen to the biden supporters buti dont hear anything they dont like donald trump. They cant tell you anything biden has done for america, but they wont admit all of the things donald trump has done. We have to get the truth out. I dont think the truth has been told. If donald trump wins again, which i think he should. Is theause i think he best person in the world, but i think he is as good as anyone else. Biden, ian just like think they are all ok. They all have their faults. Host just taking look at the race, it is still being counted. In michigan this is the latest tally on votes. Thepresident win 78 of votes counted in michigan. 46 point nine for joe biden. A chiefer, tim alberta Political Correspondent for politico tweets this. Detroitits not just there are tons of mail and boats about to be counted in grand rapids, lansing, and the Oakland County burros. Trumps lead in michigan is going to vanish. From Adam Brewster in wisconsin kenosha city clerk says the city of kenosha absentee results are heading to Kenosha County to be reported. In jacksonville, florida we will hear from michael next on our others line. Caller how are you doing. How are you doing . Host doing well. Caller i have a question. The lady who was just talking. You she called biden week, kind of got a little weak, you kind of got a little antsy . What was that . Host weak . Caller you didnt like hearing that. Go ahead with your host go ahead with your comment or question. Caller i have been watching all night. I keep hearing everyone say every vote counts. Running forwatching house or running for senate, all the votes are not in yet there are people being declared buters at 75 or 85 , 54 , all the votes are not in. How are you going to tell me every vote counts when they already declared winners on people when all the votes are not in . Are generally projections from the Associated Press that we use when most of votes the counting warrants their calling the race and most of the time a majority of those votes are reported. Theer the majority of votes are already in for georgia, North Carolina, michigan, maine, and all those places. They are in the ninth percentile. Saying that the rest of the votes dont count, but there is a lead in the votes but not the other votes. How can you declare those winners when you cant declare the ones at a 90 total . The i wish i could to find intricacies of how the Associated Press does that, but thats based on as they get tallies from the different precincts throughout those states that we shared, North Carolina just moments ago we showed was quite close and the state of georgia has votes outstanding and still being counted. From california, a joe biden supporter. Caller good morning. Host go ahead with your comment or question. Yeah. i voted for joe biden. [indiscernible] with obama. Worked on keeping that ebola from spreading in this country. [indiscernible] now this year its happening. [indiscernible] host i want to show you some new republicans coming into the house.

The senate race in South Carolina was the most expensive in that state history, but Lindsey Graham wins. Here are his victory comments. [applause] thank you so much. We did it. I dont mean me, i mean wed. We. Mean we will talk with these folks here in a second. To borrow a phrase from onechill, never has candidate hoped so much for so many as i do. Showed so much to so many as i do. I o so many people. Thank you, this victory is an answer to a lot of prayers. Everybody that prayed for me also voted for me and then some. To those that have been following this race from afar, i hope you got the message. If you dont get this message its hopeless. Heres the message i got, people like what i am doing.

Nancy mase is going to win before this night is over. [applause] the bottom line is, this is a team sport and i am lucky to have the support i have. It is wide and deep and to all who embraced me i felt it. When nikki came forward i appreciated it. Thank you, nikki. Here is a quick nikki story. Her mom and dad sent an absentee ballot and never got acknowledgment it was received. They made michael get in the car and drive from charleston to richmond and they stood in line for two hours to vote for me. [applause] thats a heck of a story. To that family, thank you. Tim scott you are the best partner every anyone has had in the United States senate. Tonight, the 2020 two race for senator scott begins. Timscott. Com. Tim is a National Treasurer and a blessing to the Republican Party to all who know him. Senator, not be a to just run a campaign. I think i am the most blessed man on capitol hill. I have the best senate staff of anybody in the country. Richard, wherever you may be you have been with me since day one and been a heck of a chief of staff. If youhurmonds told me take care of people they will take care of you. Richard, we take care of people. We treat every constituent like a customer. Constituent service in the state is second to none. We give you an answer and maybe its not the answer you want but you try to give we try to give you a good honest answer and we go to bat for you and work hard. All i can say is this has been overwhelming. I have never been challenged like this and i have never had more support than i do tonight. There are people all over this country that came to my aid. There are people who had never given . 15 who gave me what they could. Me 30. s mother sent ted said he never gave her anything. [laughter] i cannot tell you how touching it is and how humbled i am to have over 2 Million People wanting to invest in our campaign. This has been an incredible experience. God works in the most mysterious ways. I never saw this coming, did you . I never believed we would be the center of attention for the senate races in the entire nation. I think it had a lot to do with being in the right place at the right time. More than anything else speaking up when i needed to. Speaking up for judge kavanaugh when he needed somebody to speak up for him. The republicans who came out in droves for me, i will not let you down. I will be there for the conservative cause. Willroudly prolife and i protect your rights and the second amendment. I will do my part to keep confirming judges. To my democratic opponents and challengers, if you want to meet in the middle i will be there on the issues that we all need to be working together on like infrastructure. We have the same needs for roads, bridges, and ports. We have a great country, lets make sure it stays great. [applause] mountain of debt, there is no way for the Republican Party to get the country out of debt. We have to Work Together like Ronald Reagan did and to pwn il. Tip oneill. It looks like we will hold the senate. I promised my democratic colleagues that if you work with me i will work for you with you because the debt will ruin the country. I want to remind everybody whatever differences we have, they pale in comparison to what we believe in which is the right to pick our leaders, to speak our minds, and get up from one election and go to the next. I have been to iraq and afghanistan 50 times. Hate chuckout there schumer as much as Lindsey Graham. Its hard to believe. See us islamists dont as republicans or democrats. They see us as infidels. They would kill us all regardless of our faith, christian, jewish, muslim, libertarian, vegetarian. [laughter] sight thatr lost when you go overseas you realize that so many people believe in us may be more than we believe in ourselves. Do is takeoing to the spirit of this win and harness it and do the best i can as long as i can. These terms are for six years but i learned something early on with darlene. There is no promise tomorrow. Longerermines how much that he gives me im going to work for you and our country. I believe this with my heart and soul. When it comes to Lindsey Graham and team graham, the best is yet to come. [applause] host Lindsey Graham winning what became the most expensive ,enate race in South Carolina challenged by jamie harrison. Lindsey graham winning that by 55. 1 . One of several key races in the south. We look at africanamerican candidates. The Georgia Senate race is a tossup. The democrat leading nearly 32 of the vote, the opponent with 26. 5 and a house member with 20. 4 . That race goes to a special election in january between mr. Loeffler. D senator in mississippi former secretary of agriculture mike espy running against cindy hydesmith, she wins. , bill cassidy handily wins his race over the democratic challenger. A couple of different. Bservations on the house races from a tweet trying to get that for you. Hanbys a tweet from peter of the new yorker the issue with democrats and hispanics is not joe biden falling behind, he ran ahead of hillary in raw totals. The issue is that trump added to his numbers in hispanic counties , cuban, mexican, puerto rican in a huge way. Democrats need to ask why. Rick perry talked about this when he was governor of texas. A lot of hispanics go to church, they are patriotic, and some own guns. Thats specific to texas, but culture is huge. Keeping our eye on the vote counting in midwest. Voteslead down to 70,000 statewide in michigan and wayne county has only reported 53 . Biden is about to stack up a couple hundred thousand votes there alone. Continuing with your calls into the morning. 202 7488920 for donald Trump Supporters. 202 7488921 for joe biden supporters. All others, 202 7488922. From clio, california a trump supporter. This is alan. Caller i was just calling because one of my biggest concerns is, why are all of these supporters in almost every single state that trump has lost except for a couple given view republican except for different counties such as and minneapolis over in minnesota or even in illinois, chicago . You haveer to nevada two counties that majority give the whole electoral call. Host what is your conclusion on that . I think that the conclusion is the majority of all of those given states have a republican background where they hold the same values. State actually believes everything that the rest of the population of america however there is 15 of the state in all of those given states that controls. Host all right, alan. We will hear from charles next, joe biden supporter in st. Louis. Caller thanks for taking my call. I have been listening to the sounds tonight and it like people are on different planets. Something that everyone can get behind. The guy that was just on the phone, there was a caller from , evangelical christians, liberals, conservatives, democrats, republicans. Lets get rid of the Electoral College. Thatan archaic system essentially was a compromise to appease slaveholding states in the south. It should be abolished, lets make every vote count. Lets make every vote literally count and get rid of it. Right . Host thanks for that charles. We have covered the topic of the Electoral College in all sorts of ways. Recent conversation on washington journal, American History tv, and if you check our website you can see our special election coverage and all the speeches happening on this election night. Thats at cspan. Org election. Collegeype in electoral a lot of programs covering that issue. Cindy is next in pennsylvania. Also a joe biden supporter. Caller thank you, i voted for joe biden. A draft to vote for dodger, con man, and grifter. Bankruptcies,six he couldnt get any money in the u. S. So he goes to what bank . Getsche bank where he loans from the russians. Are who back that bank. Money, getss that his trump tower condos, sells them to russians who then turn around and sell them so the money is laundered. Peoples poor white trash , the only reason he gets them to vote for him is because of the racist shit that he spews. Host we will hear from a donald trump supporter in kent, washington. This is ron. And thankod morning you, you do a great job. That harris biden is going to win. We can now get rid of American History. We can remove all of our crosses. Prayere can get rid of and the pledge of allegiance in congress and the senate. Lets have open borders. Im ready to raise my taxes to pay for their health and their Free Education along with everyone else. I have to accept these things now, because thats just the way it is. You can get rid of christmas and easter. Ands indoctrinate our kids antiamerican education. Thats the way to go. Host checking a couple things on twitter, a political report politico report, this is jake sherman. Thenow everyone is watching president ial, but House Republicans will end up with a net gain in the house. House covers the House Republican women have flipped four of five seats tonight. Minnesota, oklahoma, and South Carolina. San mateo, california this is a biden supporter. Go ahead. Caller how are you doing . I love america. Im not political at all, dont even know the difference between republican and democrat. The only reason i voted was because my buddy is going through dialysis so there was this prop 203i had to vote on to help him out. Driver waser lyft another proposition to keep them independent. Biden was i voted for , lets biden and kamala make a change right . Lets get something other than what we have in america. I just dont understand the whole thing, all this going for the black vote. We are all american. I dont get it. Whatsoever andal i probably should not be voting. Thats why always voted for why only voted for two measures. The uber mentioned measure. Tell us about that and how you voted. Voted to keep them independent because i remember , the taxil started up drivers were all pistol off because they came. Off because they came. Now they are trying to turn into a taxi company and not keep it independent like it was in the beginning. Host the wall street journal reporting, a tweet on that measure in california uber and california exempting from having to reclassify their drivers as employees. From a laguna beach, california biden on a biden supporter. Caller good morning. I hope you are well. My comment is basically this. We have had four years of donald trump at the helm of this blanky literally throwing at a wall, having no real idea or interest in how to run a country, how to manage the military finances, its , certainly the covid pandemic. He is even blaming doctors and physicians, claiming they want to bilk clients and patients out of money by falsifying claims, jacking up covid claims which is so insulting to those First Responders and people that put their lives on the line every day. He talked about firing dr. Fauci. Here we are at 6 00 a. M. Eastern time on the day after election day on pins and needles. You add it all up and it shows that this country is deeply divided, it looks as its highly likely joe biden will win because of the mailin votes coming in will catapult him to 270 plus. That is great for america and great for my baby daughter who is 20 months old and deserves a better future. Afterlso vexing, because all of this, after all the humiliation and doubt, and wackiness here we are basically on the cusp of 5050. What does that say about america Going Forward . It probably says this country has a lot of problems and deeprooted issues. Joe biden is a good man but he will struggle mightily to be able to solve them. Thats a testament. I think its great that joe is going to win. This of an, i ask woman in tennessee earlier, a trump supporter. ,ets assume joe biden wins what does joe biden have to do to bridge the gap with the 50 or however many did not vote for him . What do those voters have to do to accept a biden when . Caller great question. One of the huge problems in this country, its not cspan, cspan is down the middle and just the facts. We have a 24 7 cable News Business and an entire internet that is monetized and incentivized to spew partisanship and promote the fact that compromise is people when it should be the opposite. Joe is uniquely suited. He is a guy that has always worked across the aisle. From a senate, and 1972 it was very collegial. If anyone can do it its joe. He is going up against the tide of fox news, breitbart, and all sorts of madness that did not exist. It will be tough, but he will reach out and i think he will be a guy that can do that. I would say to the Trump Supporters, and for everybody honestly, lets get past this, lets get past the namecalling and the fact that we have to say that people are inferior or worse or make fun of others. Democrats are not immune. If you are from a red state or rural area some people may think you are lesser or dumb. Lets get past that. We are all americans and we have a lot of problems to solve with covid, the economy, infrastructure, health care. There are no shortage of challenges. Lets believe in america and each other and lets try to solve problems. Winning elections is great and you raise money. Andp loves to go to rallies have the audience give him adulation. Thats easy, but whats hard is solving problems and working with other people. Lets all do that. Most americans are not overly political. They are raising their kids and going to work. Think about that and ask that of our leaders. If they are not accountable and decent in trying to solve your problems, both amount. Host we will hear from nancy in texas next. She is calling from san antonio. Caller thank you for taking my call. As far as i can remember our election was always on the third. Every time we go to bed we always knew who won the presidency. We are here in 2020 going to bed and come theho won following morning its going to be a surprise. There is ae that whole bunch that were behind President Trump. You can see them by the rallies. Thatthere are the people are the silent majority that dont want to come because of hw the democrats how can i say, they a matter of fact, house arned down because they had banner out there supporting trump. Saying good that their house burned down. There are people who are scared to come out, but they are coming out in voting. Now, they want to come and change the rules.

Jeff is in Oklahoma City on our others line. Hello, thank you. I was just wondering if trump wins, is nancy pelosi and the democrats going to pull the same they pulled for the three and half years and spent millions of dollars trying to prove something that wasnt there and then and if biden wins other republicans going to play quid pro quo stuff . It was ridiculous. All of that money couldve gone to help disabled veterans, the elderly, the infirm, give more money for social security, infrastructure, all of that stuff. But they spend millions of dollars trying to dig something up that wasnt there. To have trump tried people vetted from countries and they turned it into a religious thing. If everybody job says no, we dont want to listen to you. Thats what the really, all of that money spent baking up something that wasnt there. Host richard is joining us from alabama. On our others line. You told her screen he did not vote. Tell us why. Caller i dont like choosing between the lesser of two evils. I know that anybody who is in business has done some things that arent actually believe the stuff about joe biden and i think he solar country out. Veteran, i dont sell my country out and i dont really care which one of these guys get into office, they wont change the way i live. ,f they want to do some good start giving disabled veterans what they should be getting. Im not quite as eloquent as but of these other people, thats just me, im an old country boy. Host you are a disabled veteran , so President Trump ran partly on how he has improved the v. A. , what is your take on that . Caller i can get in the v. A. Right now, it shut down because of covid. I can see a doctor. Things are better, but they are not good. Line, live on the poverty and youve got jokers in Congress Making 174,000 who never serve their country. Ive got some questions. Richard, who is your congressman representative i should say. I voted in the primaries. I dont know who the congressman is. The senators for his help. Host appreciate you getting through, thank you for your service and calling in this morning. North springs, West Virginia. This is tim athena two is a trump supporter. Caller yes. Trump, hes been in there and its been dammed if he does and day and if he does not. Democrats have been against him since hes been voted in. Biden stte attacking the coal and natural gas, open borders. Weve got illegal people in this country already and they act trump, hes the one who released this covid, it was china, it wasnt donald trump. Trump andpport donald mike pence. The healthcare system, it seems to be better than it was. I know we had the economy going good when china released that. Ovid and shut our country down it wasnt trump the letter loose. Host appreciate your call. One of the states where they are still counting is nevada. Joe biden just edging out so far with 75 of the vote counted. 49. 2 to 48. 6 . John ralston is editor at the nevadan. He says there are also tens of thousands of provisional ballots in urban nevada and some in the ,ural, less sure of that mix but if it follows the previous matter, it may be enough for biden. Bidens lead is below 8000. Lincoln, nebraska is next. We hear from maryellen. Caller high there. Hi there. I am a republican registered, but i voted for biden. I voted for trump and he was elected because i really felt like he had some good ideas and would make some changes in this country. Im 81 years old and i voted for a lot of people. Someonet maybe having who wasnt a natural politician might help things out. But i was so disappointed in the way he treated people in the way he treated our military and the disregard he had for constitution. Im not necessarily thinking biden is going to be a superior president or anything, i just think we need a change in their and i think we need a change in our politicians print we need to get some decent honest men who will think about the people in this country and try to do things to help the people and to help america grow stronger. Nebraska, onete of two states in the country that split their electoral votes based on the result in the state. Here is the tally in nebraska. And joe bidenon 4 gets 1 in nebraska. Why do you think there is a divide like that in your state . Because of the density of the population. I think that wouldve been omaha. But i think the people in nebraska, a lot of them are in the population down here in the area is very dense. Host appreciate you calling in. To donald in detroit, michigan. Caller thank you, cspan for taking my call. Try to watch some of the other networks. I am a supporter. From detroit,n michigan and that supposed to be solidly blue. Im a registered democrat, probably voted for donald trump read the democrats need to nominate better candidates. I find them smug and condescending, specifically ms. Harris. Im someone that voted for obama twice, i supported Bernie Sanders and 2016, who won the michigan primaries by the way. But the democrats ended up nominating hillary clinton. Remember the whole im with her, will not me. I ended up voting for donald j. Trump, of the big guy. This past cycle i was still a strong strum supporter, but i also like the message of andrew yang. I thought he was young and very innovative and had some good ideas. But the democrats ended up with old. Iden, who is 177 years im kidding of course, but he doesnt appeal to me. Colorsupport among men of is strong in my view and i dont opinerse old planers really understand of bravado donald trump displays, i like it. It reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt all spits field with the electionyear is not that this close people think that its. Trumphigan, at the donald is going to win the state going away. Wisconsin, i dont know. I think he will win pennsylvania. To boil all this down, and i appreciate you listening, is that its is a fugitive ive between thinking men and women. I think we just need to say that. Donald trump support amongst africanamerican men, latino men is a lot higher than what people like to give it credit for. Of theonald in detroit, counting still goes on in detroit. Thats not been called yet. To ted in morgantown, West Virginia. A joe biden supporter. Caller thank you for taking my call. I really do appreciate it. I appreciate cspan a lot. Calling from West Virginia here. In theupport joe biden way jesus taught me to come to love. I love him the way i love you, my brother. Its the way i love donald trump. Thats why voted for conway for kanye west. My Major Concerns why voted that way, my concerns with joe biden cspan, he isn sniffing the children all the time. Pence is kind of scary so i just went with kanye. Thanks for your time and i love you all. This is california, nikki who is a joe biden supporter. Discussi just wanted to what donald actually just said as far as people of color supporting trump and his suppose a progression towards them. Frequentlyt he undermines people of color, people who are in poverty and people who are undergoing difficult situations. In the dismissal of Hunter Bidens drug addiction in the United States, drug addiction is terrible situation for us. That just truly shows his colors of how he does not relate to the every day american individual. Think so manyou americans vote for him and overlook the criticisms that you have of donald trump . I really dont understand it. I think there is a lot of uneducated who tend to vote for him. A lot of people who have insecurities within their own issues who also like to exploit people, who dont have what they have. Donald trump is ultimately just a bully amongst these people. A caller before you described himself as africanamerican from detroit who voted for him because he liked Donald Trumps bravado. Caller his bravado. He is a reality tv star. Peoples how to appeal to platform. And fake host we will continue with calls and comments here. Washington journal getting underway at 7 00 a. M. Eastern.

As a Battalion Commander in the military. Ive tried to set that example for my daughter . [applause] know what i want my daughter and all young women to know is that we can do anything.

[applause] host joni ernst retains her see in iowa, helping the republicans bolster their lead over democrats. The balance of power still to be called, there are six races on the senate side, 47 wins 47 seats held by republican so far. 45 by democrats and the two independents. Taking a look at the u. S. House and where things stand on races in the house. There are still 66 races to be called 181 republican seats won so far, 100 80 democrat seat so far. 188 democratd seats so far. Congress in general saying todays playbook, what blue wave. Tuesday was an abject disaster for emigrants in washington. The amount of soulsearching and explaining that well have to do after tuesday is absently dizzying. The inviting will be bloody, as it should be. We have less than we go to orange, texas to hear from andrew, President Trump supporter. You are on the air. I guess its only a couple more hours before we find out the true results here. The mailin ballots stay straight. And dont get sidetracked. Based on the q information. We are still on track for a successful trump when. And everything is looking good on our end. Host thanks for that. Midland, texas and this is aurora on our Trump Supporters line. Are you there . Ok. To don in iowa on the others line. Caller hello. Host go ahead. Caller thank you cspan for taking our calls. Time that ifirst voted since reagan believe it or not. I am a christian, i am a patriot, i am a veteran. This present President Trump, i didnt know much about him, but i tell you, did he ever fight for us and build our military, builder veterans hospitals and our economy was just booming. Democrats thought him tooth and nail through this whole presidency. Slanderousnds of lies. Now all of a sudden everybody sick with covid per nobody dies of old age or anything else. We have to realize he is a patriot. The same as i am. And they areids raising their kids the way i raised them, that we are redblooded americans and wherever our ancestors come from , thank god that they came to this country so we could be born and raised in the greatest country on earth. Thats where our dna starts and ends, right here in this country, just like our ancestors dna started and ended wherever they came from. Host oceanside, california, a brian others line. Caller thanks for having me. Joni ernst, i totally agreed with what she had to say. I am a trump fan and i agree does andt of what he not a lot of what is counterpart does. The real big question right now , we aren california doing a lot of things out there, we have the higher unemployment rate, they are shutting down businesses. Newsomelosi, kevin running our state. Right now, you know in the house and the senate, and everything else, we are dealing with this problem i lost my job right as soon as in march. Basically where i lost everything. I lost my income, my wife left me, she went off somewhere else, thats a whole another story. , we were getting a stimulus pan plan we basically been held by below sea because the senate by nancy pelosi because the senate wont agree between the 1. 8 8 trillion that was offered by republicans and the 2. 2 trillion that the democrats want in order to give us the stimulus to get back on our feet and they shut down our jobs. We are basically the verge. A lot of us will lose our places to live. Host are you still out of work . Caller yeah. Im out of work, my wife left me, she left me with two kids. I was on disability for a little while. I went back to work and they shut down. No one wants to travel right now. Can. The best i we want to get a snapshot were some of the vote counting is happening. A couple of tweets in that regard. Michigan is one of the several states that has not completed their vote count. Wayne county, that is detroit, ballots ined 150,000 nearly 140 biden. This cut trumps lead by nearly two thirds, that has not been reflected in the Associated Press numbers. The upshot for the New York Times and we have a very clear picture in georgia thanks to the needles analysis of the vote by predicting method stipulate there are not theres a lot of heavily democratic vote in the atlanta area left, its enough to make biden a narrow favorite. He also says the pennsylvania situation is far from completion. We do know theres at least 1. 4 million outstanding absentee ballots. So far they are 7821 biden. Thats enough for him to catch up if it keeps up. One more from the election project, the highest voter turnout since 1900. I believe the number is up about 67 . Fulsome, california is next. Caller i appreciate you taking my call. I have to tell you it just made me a little sick. Nighteen watching it all and im just so disappointed with just the American People. Caringeir level of not about what is really going on and just voting on emotion. It is so crazy. I understand nobody likes trump, he is a loudmouth, but you have to get past that. Im more worried about international politics, what could happen with somebody like biden at the helm. Its a very scary thing when you look there is no way he can get uprumps just, his and go. He is everywhere, he is always working. Where has biden been this past month . It is just ridiculous. I just dont think the media im not a big watcher of you know, the typical media stations and to be honest i wasnt intending until a few months ago , i wasnt planning on voting for trump. But i just saw how they were treating him. Everything was a lie. Racist, this, every Trump Supporters a racist now by association. It has just gotten so crazy. All you hear is the same sound bites i all these biden supporters about taxes in this. Are they some great accountant . They are just repeating what they are hearing and it is just so sad. Look at the source, watch the actual speech that it came from. 90 of the time. Its so out of context. Host ill let you go there. One more call from brandy in santa monica, california. Caller people of a short memory it seems like. Dont know if they remember the Justice Department took him to court and sued him for not renting to the blacks and how he said he would never have blacks count his money. Also how he was going to build condos in baja, took everyones money and never built them. The university, it never took money which is fraudulent and against the law. Son came on tv and said it makes me a lot of money with russia. Thing, my parents came from russia during the russia war. One thing dictators say is they always say dont believe the media. The want them to believe countries. Host ill let you go there with a reminder that all of our coverage of the campaign speeches, the victory and concession speeches we have shown you. Washington journal starting here in about 20 minutes or so, alive here on cspan. Up until then we will show you speeches last night
