Are coming down to the wire. Pennsylvania is too close to call biden has narrowed the president s lead in the critical keystone state and officials are still counting votes from several of the bluest and biggest counties. Biden has counted the blue wall he is the projected winner in wisconsin. The outcome there could depend on a potential recount and or official confirmation of the vote count and nbc news has declared biden the winner in michigan georgia is on a razors edge this morning as its outstanding votes there are tallied. Mr. Trump has launched a legal bat toll try to stop vote counting in pennsylvania and michigan also stating a challenge in georgia and demanding a recount in wisconsin for its part, the Biden Campaign says its ready for a court fight and will counter any lawsuits control of the senate is up in the air this morning, but there are a few major developments its deemed that gary peters has won. And while our decision desk says the Arizona Senate special is too close to call, former astro matte ma astronaut mark kelly has declared himself the winner. President trump and joe biden both are sounding confident heading into the final stretch. We have Team Coverage for you this morning our Shannon Pettypiece has live information outside of the white house. First lets hear from tracie potts. What are you hearing reporter were hear confidence from the biden team how eventually it will come out. It may take days, maybe longer, to finally know what the vote count is were hearing not only from the Campaign Team but the candidate himself. He was back here at the chase center with his running mate senator kamala harris. She didnt speak, but he did he talked about where things stand and tried to strike a tone of unity if he wins. Its clear that were winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. When the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners, and there will be no blue states and red states when we win, just the United States of america. Reporter now t biden team says theyre ready to meet Court Challenges from President Trump and his campaign if, in fact, those continue to expand as you said theyre now challenging results in wisconsin, in michigan, in pennsylvania, and in georgia. A handful of states very contested at this hour tracie potts, thanks for starting us off. Lets get to the latest in the battle being waged by the Trump CampaignShannon Pettypiece joins us now. We vent seen much from the president about these legal fights, but hes tweeting them. He has not, but expect that to change. His Campaign Aides are wanting him to be out there and visible reminding the American Public hes still president while the counting and legal challenges play out weve been hearing him on twitter, of course, raising questions about the validity of the election and some of his allies have been out there trying to raise the potential for fraud. His son eric trump and Rudy Giuliani had a press conference yesterday, and heres what they had to say. This is fraud this is absolute fraud were going to win pennsylvania, but theyre going to try to cheat us out of it because they know its their only path to victory. It was totally illegitimate this is a concerted effort of the crooks that run the democrat party. This is beyond anything ive ever seen before. And i would note there is no evidence yet of any fraud or illegal actions taken by anyone despite those comments, the president for his part saying our lawyers have asked for, quote, meaningful access, but what good does that do the damage has already been done to tin ted grit of our system and to the president ial election itself this is what should be discussed. Aside from the legal challenges going on and as far as the way the campaign is feeling about the actual votes that are being tallied, theyre encouraged by some numbers theyve seen come out of arizona overnight that they think is breaking in the president s direction. Pennsylvania seems to be an uphill fight there are parts of that state that are going to come in and shift the direction their way and offset the votes from philadelphia in georgia, they acknowledge its going fw a nailbiter and could end up in a recount. Whenever thats going to be well see if the president steps out and speaks today thank you. We are seeing some rising tangs in some places in the count count country. In portland the National Guard was brought out. A situation escalated in what was declared a riot after business windows were smashed. Weve seen rallies in areas including this one in philadelphia. Here in new york Police Arrested more than 20 people who were trying to set fires and throw garbage. They also confiscated weapons. Meanwhile in arizona, the maricopa Elections Office has been countsing ballots while this group grew outside. Some supporters carried guns chanting things like wheres the vote news outlets called the race for biden yesterday. Officials plan to keep counting as planned. One of the Key Takeaways from this election is that polling was once again off, underestimating the strength of donald trump nbcs Peter Alexander looks at what went wrong. Reporter it feels like deja vu all over again, another rough night for pollsters. Were heading for a poll reckoning in the months and years ahead. Reporter the president complaining they got it completely and historically wrong. Its not the first time they missed the upset over Hillary Clinton four years ago once again, the stunner, some of the state polls. In wisconsin, biden was enjoying a sevenpoint on average over the president with one recent poll showing him cruising by 17 points, but it appears hell eek it out in the state by less than 1 so close that the Trump Campaign is requesting a recount. Democrats thought florida might turn blue with barack obama heading south. The poll showdown biden clinging to a tight lead, but President Trump would carry that state by more than three points. As much as we thought pollsters learned their lesson from 2016, its clear they havent figured out how to sample the midwest and other places as well. Reporter what happened there is some evidence that people who distrust institutions both support trump more and respond to surveys less. Reporter still the polls did get some things right, forecasting trump would overperform with black men and latinos. The takeaway, the only poll that matters is the one after every ballot is counted. Peter alexander, nbc news, the white house. So one of the big surprises of the race is the latina vote which propelled President Trump to victory in florida, especially cubanamericans. I think what we learned last night is there is no latino vote its latino voters its 60 millionplus with a different perspective, life experience, and political view President Trump focused consistently on south florida and it had an impact on cubanamericans, latin americans, and others. Meanwhile nevada, north carolina, texas, teenagers made a Significant Impact supporting joe biden. This should be a time when all parties recognize the power of this very diverse voter, and there are 32 million of them.

Joe biden is ahead with 253 electoral votes and is leading the popular vote by more than 3. 5 million, but it will all come down to the battleground states our ali vitali has more. What are we hearing . Reporter it will all come down to the battleground states. Youre absolutely right. We knew this was going to end up here they tried to make the case they there are nine paths to victory for biden, three for donald trump. Just yesterday they opened up what theyre calling the bind fight fund, which is basically meant to fund the future legal filings that they may have to combat, Election Protection lawsuits, not just for joe biden but up and down the ballot thats not necessarily true. The trump Campaign Team fundi fundraising for a new effort. We start hearing words like recount. The reality is the biden team sees several different ways to get to 270 on the Electoral College map. Theyre looking at places like arizona and georgia. And the critical place, pennsylvania, the place joe biden spent more time, theyre seeing all of those difference paths. I will say if we see him get to 270 today, theres a chance well see him again in wilmington, delaware when we saw him yesterday, he said he thinks he will be the next president of the United States but fell short of declaring a victory.
