Involve pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. Right . Do they have a similar electorate in those states . John . Yes, they do. Its that noncollege bluecollar population. What makes pennsylvania a little bit different, is i mean pennsylvania and michigan the coalition for Hillary Clinton would have to be africanamericans, college suburban educated women. In michigan she won it by five points. College educated women. So thats not a huge amount for her. Whereas in, in pennsylvania, she is up by 14 points. With College Educated women. So that would she would have wanted a bigger margin with that group. By the way, giving her maine, continues allowing the possibility of the screen writers, 269269 Electoral College tie. Since we just called maine for Hillary Clinton. The clinton team and watch party was assembled at the Javits Center in new york two miles from where the trump team was gathered. The clinton team choosing the place because the Javits Center has a glass ceiling. The clinton team wanting to make. Symbolism there. To place cracks in the glass ceiling, that has the not occurred as of 2 00 in the morning on the east. So, the Clinton Campaign chairman john podesta left the hotel. Here he is to address the crowd. Lets listen. Thank you. Well, folks, i know you have been here a long time. And its been a long night. And its been a long campaign. But i can say, we can wait a little longer, cant we . Theyre still counting votes. And every vote could count. Several states are too close to call. So we are not going to have anything more to say tonight. So, listen listen to me. Everybody should head home. You should get some sleep. Well have more to say tomorrow. I want you to know i want every person in in this hall to know, i want every person across the country to support who supported hillary to know that your voices and your enthusiasm mean so much to her and to tim and to all of us. We are so proud of you. And we are so proud of her. She has done an amazing job and she is not done yet so, thank you for being with her. She has always been with you. I have to say this tonight, good night. We will be back. We will have more to say. Lets get those votes counted. And lets bring this home. Thank you so much for awe that you have done. You are in all of our hearts. Thank you. The clinton team had written a victory speech for this party on this night. And we have just witnessed john p ocht dcht ec po dcht echt st t acht to tell everyone to go home. There will be no victory or concession speech from Hillary Clinton tonight. That they will wait it out until tomorrow. They had a victory speech, and then a fireworks display planned. That was canceled this week. Thought better, maybe that doesnt. They got hammered for announcing that. And then there was a problem they said with the permit. That was scrapped. But so interesting, there was so much time spent on. I didnt see one interview with donald trump or one of the surrogates, if he doesnt, if it doesnt go the way he planned will he graciously concede. Every interview with donald trump or any body associated asked that question. That was the question going into the night. If it was close would, would one of the candidates not concede. I think most people thought that would be donald trump. It turns out, its the Clinton Campaign. I mean she cant concede while there are vets on the table. No, no, i dont mean that. The irony of what we are seeing unfolding, right . I mean, you know. Bob, have you ever seen anything like this . Well, i was the one who said yesterday, you know, the way this thing is going, the next thing that will happen it will rain frogs. Well, its looking like, ribbit. 2004, john kerry took a little while to concede. I assume what theyre doing also is figuring out whether there is a challenge they can make if in fact theyre losing and look at it. Have a few hours to make that. Look at the votes. And say here is a way that we can challenge it if we want to. I dont have access, because we are all staring at the numbers whether there has been discussion about legal challenges in some of the states. I have not heard one at this particular point. I think what we are seeing is razor thin. How extraordinary to have we are not going to hear from Hillary Clinton tonight. One of the scenarios tonight was that this country would elect its first woman president. As the the 45th president. First female commanderinchief. We are not going to hear from her. I think the next question is, will we hear from donald trump . Ill bet you knob from the Donald Trump Campaign is thinking about going home. I bet there are no charges tonight of a rigged election over at the Trump Campaign headquarters. Nancy cordes in the rapidly emptying jacob Javits Center for us tonight. Nancy . Well, scott, looks like people are heeding advice and filing out. You can see some people are crying. Some people just look kind of stunned. I think the clinton kachl pain is trying to figure out what to do next. Does Hillary Clinton stay here in manhattan or go home to chappaqua, if they Say Something in the morning what do they say . I was digging a little deeper into the numbers in wisconsin, to try to figure out whats going on there. Took a look at the states, most populous county by far, milwaukee county, and it turns out that the vote totals in that democratic stronghold are off more than 100,000 voters from four years ago. Hillary clinton won the county by just about as large of a percentage as president obama did. She beat donald trump there by 32 . While president obama beat mitt romney there by 34 . But she was just starved of the votes that she needed in that county to offset Donald Trumps totals in more rural parts of the state. So the question becomes, was it complacency on the part of voters there . Was it disaffection with Hillary Clinton . Was it a second rate ground game in a state that the campaign thought wasnt going to competitive they thought they had in the bag based on past democratic performance there . Probably a little bit of all of the above. Theyre not ready to throw in the tow yet, clearly. You heard john podesta say lets find out what happens in the morning. It is incredibly discouraging for a campaign if anything was known for a superior ground game. And had all of the money in the world to air ads, to hire, hire staffers in any state that they thought was going to be a challenge. Nancy cordecht s there. And john, this has been the central question tonight. Did Hillary Clinton underperform . Did donald trump overperform, what about in wisconsin there . This is interesting. So what noon see was talking about. Milwaukee county on the eastern side of wisconsin. Hillary clinton got 236,000 total votes that have been totaled right now. Barack obama got about 100,000 more. In milwaukee county. You could say, one conclusion, well she dent turn out the vote there. Then in dane county, another democratic county she got the identical number of votes barack obama did. Did she not turn them out in milwaukee . Or is there absentee, some votes that are, is that what is the hold up that there, because, if she was able to do it in dane, being off by 100,000 in milwaukee. Huge number. A little surprising. That may be one of the reasons that milwaukee is, we should, and, wisconsins still waiting to be called even though, donald trump has a lead of, a little close to 80,000 votes. Look at where the race is now. After that i want to show you pennsylvania. But first look at the nation as a whole. This is where the electoral vote stands right now. Hillary clinton, 218. Donald trump, 244. Now that hasnt changed in a very long time. Because we are waiting for these states in white. The vote totals are so close in those states that we have been unable to estimate a winner yet. Now in pennsylvania that is the largest state in terms of electoral votes. Still in play. Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes. Have a look at this. Donald trump 2, 6. Hillary clinton 2,810. So, he has a he has a lead, significant lead. Not a decisive lead. We have about 1 of the vote in pennsylvania that has the yet to be counted. And if you look at the Third Party Candidate. Gary johnson. 141,000 votes. Had those swung Hillary Clintons way, she would be winning pennsylvania. And that would perhaps save her chances to become the 45th president of the United States. But that is not the way it has worked out. Donald trump now has slender numerical majorities in all five of the swing states that are outstanding. He only needs to win, depending on the state, two or three of these. Hillary clinton would have to win nearly all of them. And with donald trump leading in those states, that seems very unlikely. Are we anywhere close to, going to calling any of these really close ones right now . We may be inching closer to it, bob, but john, do you have any insight on that . I agree. Have to talk to anthony. Wisconsin, had a record absentee ballots. Milwaukee county would be one where you have a probably lot of absentee ballots. The count is so down from obama 2012, suggest is a good place for exploration with anthony. Anthony salvant ocht director of elections crunches all the numbers with his team for us over there. Scott, have any of you ever seen a case like this. I know we have been saying this all night. Never seen. Never candidate says i am goin home . Ever seen anything . Gore did it. The other candidates. There was in ohio as i recall in 2004, long lines, charges that the vote wasnt counted, there was kind of a discussion about ohio in 2004 which extended, i think i was covering the white house. Remember going up to the family residence at like 2 00 in the morning. John kerry didnt give his concession speech until wednesday afternoon. So, this is not that far in the past that that this happened. I take it we are not going home for a while. Apparently not. I mean. No matter what john podesta says well be here. Tech nick nically. Do cbs this morning right here. Got the table. Why not. Cbs this morning. Major garrett. Be on the air shortly. Major garrett at the Trump Campaign. I assume theyre still hanging in there. Yes, everyone is hanging in here. Theyre waiting for the moment. When john podesta, chairman of Hillary Clintons campaign was shown on the large screens here, there were the lusty boos you would expect that. Then the chant came. The chant i have heard 100 times if ive heard it once. Lock her up. Lock her up. There is i think we should point out, if there isnt a concession from Hillary Clinton tonight and clearly there will not be, if it drags on into the morning, there will be friction between these two campaigns. As a result of Hillary Clintons decision not to appear, number one, numb bar ter two, not conc. What will donald trump do with the results. Waiting for pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan to be called definitively. They feel very good about all three states. I just received a text from governor corbett of pennsylvania, says certain looking at all the results. 99. 2 of the vote. Trump is going to win pennsylvania. The Trump Campaign is waiting for definitive calls. Ironically, by the news organizations he heaped so much condemnation on on the stump. One other bit of irony. Those in trumps circle, find it rich, deeply rich in irony, that this morning, at this precipice of the president ial election, possibly, leaning in Donald Trumps direction it is Hillary Clinton who is showing hesitation about accepting the results. Not donald trump. We all remember what ensued after the third debate when he left that an open question. The trump inner circle find that among the most richly ironic aspects of this Early Morning on wednesday. Major garrett at the trump headquarters for us. Believe us, folks, the moment we can make a projection on any of these races we are going to do it. And you are going to be the first to know. But the vote totals are so close in these remaining states that we are unable to do that yet. However, we will keep trying on the other side of this commercial break. It is Election Night on cbs. Bounty is more absorbent,mom per roll so the roll can last 50 longer than the leading ordinary brand. So you get more life per roll. Bounty, the quicker picker upper they keep telling me drink more water. Exercise more. I know that. Try laxatives. I know. Believe me. Its like ive. Tried. Everything my chronic constipation keeps coming back. I know that. Tell me something i dont know. vo linzess works differently from laxatives. Linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. It can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. Do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. It may harm them. Dont take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If its severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomacharea pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. Were back talking about the extraordinary thing in the country. The closeness of the race for president. Joining me my guests. Lets talk about the democrats. Lets talk about 2004. When you were working for george bush. Right. 43. 43. And john kerry and there was a question. Question about ohio. He did not make a concession that night. We debated should we give a victory speech. The he hough he hadnt conce. The trump people are debating now. President bush decided no, lets wait. Let him do the right thing. He called mid morning the next morning. Gracious call. And i expect that to happen tomorrow, depending on the outcome we see tonight with Hillary Clinton. Ruth . I, if the numbers are clear, as we were talking about before, i think there will be a gracious call. Hillary clinton has a terrific role model for that in al gore whose concession speech magnanimous. Very magnanimous. Talks about helping the new president govern the country. Thats the tone if results are clear Hillary Clinton and the democrats should try to strike. I think that the brawl is going to come in congress. Republicans look like they have only lost three or four seats tonight. It appears that republicans will keep control of the senate. So theyre going to have the presidency, the house, the senate. And the fight is going to be between Bernie Sanders and the more moderates, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders together. On the house side it is going to be the same kind of tough. Since the republicans if in fact trump wins and in fact the senate as you suggest and the house looks like it will be that way. What can the democrats do . In the senate side they can throw monkey wrench. Thats key. The house can do nothing, but the senate has the the capability of stopping everything that trump and republicans want to do by using senate rules. Heres the question. Fell bust filibuster. I wonder how trump will stand for the filibuster. We were expecting to have conversation as but the future of the Republican Party how they needed to regroup. We will have to have the conversation about the future of the Democratic Party was this a failure of the candidate. She talked about how she is not a great candidate like her husband. She came with this email problem from the very opening moments of the campaign, that never went away. Or is there a broader failure of the party to be able to speak to the kind of working class voters that trump seemed to energize. A grand irony. We talked a lot about whether trump would accept the results. Right. Now the question is not that. Right. I think Hillary Clintons followers are going to have a tough time accepting the results too. It is going to be difficult in this political system. Because of the depth of the bitterness of this campaign. To accept the legitimacy of an outcup that is not favorable. Ultimately americans have to give a new president a chance. I have a tough time saying that. I think thats going to be necessary at the beginning of this system. Lets go back to scott and norah at the desk. We have just learned that donald trump has arrived at his campaign watch party here in new york. Certainly premature to be making a victory speech because he hasnt won. This is the vote totals as we have them now. Hillary clinton, 218, donald trump, 245. Certainly well within range of becoming the 45th president of the United States. There you can see his watch party. The folks at at the Hillary Clinton watch party were just told go home. Nothing is going to happen tonight. Well revisit this in the morning. Clearly the Trump Campaign is not following the same advice. Theyre expecting one or more of these states to be declared in the next hour or so. And in so doing, he will go over 270. And become the neck president of the United States. It is not over for Hillary Clinton, there are possible ways to win. But it is certainly not leaning in her direction now. Donald trump who prizes winning above all things is going to take the stage at almost 2 30 in the morning. Without a concession, we dont have any reporting abut whether they have had a phone conversation or whether the campaigns have spoken. But inside the Trump Campaign, we know that the, theyre feeling quite good. Well they have plenty of roone how reason to feel good. Wisconsin, pennsylvania. Michigan all numbers going in his direction. Minnesota looks like it is going towards Hillary Clinton. New hampshire separated by 1,000 votes. So thats four states that are in the balance. A lot of conversation yesterday days are running together. Yesterday, the day before. When donald trump said, if i dont win this election it will have been a total waste of my time and my money. And many people speck lated thats not something a normal, that you norally hear from a candidate under any circumstances. Eric trump was here, well, charlie, you asked the question. He said well my dad is a winner. He only thinks about winning. Donald trump. Clearly what is happening. What he was thinking tonight. Donald trump has picked up another electoral vote. He picked up the look torl vote in the first Congressional District of maine. Maine and nebraska are the only two states that are not winner take all. And so he has picked up one more. So thats 245. To Hillary Clintons 218. Major garrett is telling us that we may be seeing trump shortly. At his watch party. And of course, well switch right over there as soon as he appears on the stage. I suspect many people are asking, how long does it take them to count all these ballots . Yes. I know, charlie, i said an hour ago. In theage of 2016, with all of the technology, i am very curious about what that process is like . Do you have any intel on that, john . Every state is different. The states are all different. As scott said. And just the one electorlech that donald trump got in maine means the 269269 possibility is no long ear life. So thats. There cannot be a tie now. I dont believe. I havent run the scenarios. One that would get you to 269 has just been undone by that one electoral vote. We are waiting for the final vote counts in the states that will make the difference. We are also waiting for donald trump. Well be back in just a moment. It is Election Night on cbs. We are back, gail king, advises we should call this election morning on cbs. She is quite right. I say election mornting. I cant speak. 2 30 in the morning. Hillary clinton supporters here in new york city, her watch party have all been told to go home. Donald trumps on the other hand are all at his watch party. We understand that donald trump is going to have something to say to them very shortly. Of course, you never know with donald trump, but it probably is not a victory speech. Because, he does not quite yet have victory. Thats true. And inside the Trump Campaign, they are saying that there was an undercover trump vote. That mike pence for vp was significant in their victory. This is what theyre saying. That Hillary Clintons floor and ceiling were the same. And that rally crowds matter. And finally that they expanded the map. As donald trump considers getting on the stage here. If he really thinks and he has ever reason to that the numbers are going in his way, this is the first act of conciliation, or the first act as a new president with a country that is obviously, deeply divided. With a country that is partisan. A country in which people are going to be elated but also very scared. And this is his first chance. If he honestly thinks he is going to win. How he handles this next moment. If he doesnt declare victory. Is the first test of, how or if, he is going to kind of try to repair the breach that is obviously there. Even despite his historic achievement. To that point is he going to say in this speech. That he wants to make America Great again. Or does he want to talk about making america whole again. Right. Shouldnt say lock her up. The crowd will. No. The there mall conciliatory things you say as a victor about your opponent have the have the slight conflict with the fact that she said he is going to have his attorney general investigate Hillary Clinton if he is elected president. So that adds another bit of context to what he may or may not say tonight. No, charlie when you mention david brooks article earlier today. He said any Decent Society rests on codes of etiquette and share a moral ecology to make cooperation possible. It will be very interesting to see what happens. When donald trump takes the stage. Part of the reason he may be coming over. He has always felt a strong commitment to his supporters. This nay be a sense to go over and say, she has gone home. And theyre not going to concede. I just want to come over here and thank you guys. Thats right. Eve of them had to Say Something. It is 2 30 in the morning. You have to go over and Say Something, which is come back tomorrow. Or we think we are doing well. And donald trump has decided he wants to deliver that message himself. Since he is on the road. He could come by here. Pay us a little visit. He is up. We know he is up. He knows the way. Been here before. If you are watching our election coverage, mr. Trump, please consider that an invitation. Yes, we have room. Big table. Media check for you. On twitter, the term President Trump has 1. 46 million tweets right now. Already. Already. At this late hour, or early hour, depending on when you got up or when you want to sleep. Thats what we are seeing right now. Also a tweet from kellyann conway responding to a tweet from a reporter, which reads, stunned that Hillary Clinton did not concede. If real donald trupp pulled that people would go bananas. Kellyann conway responds, this is the truest tweet ever. No need to concede yet. Because this race isnt quite over. We will have more for you in just a scalpel. I have no idea what im doing. Im just a tv doctor. I never went to college. scream i dont do blood. But now, thanks to cigna, i can do more than just look the part. Is that a foot . We are the tv doctors of america. And were partnering with cigna to help save lives. By getting you to a real doctor for an annual checkup. So go, know, and take control of your health. Doctor poses. Cigntogether, all the way. Good morning. It is election morning here. Good morning. On cbs. We are still waiting for a few states to come in. Donald trump is leading by small margins in these states. If he wins two or three of them now, he will be the 45th president of the United States. Lets have a look at wisconsin. This is one of the states that we are projecting is leaning Donald Trumps way. We are unable to protect him as the the winner. Because the vote totals just arent there yet. There he is, 1,385,000 votes. Hillary clinton 1,309,000 votes. And it is the same story in pennsylvania. Michigan. Arizona. New hampshire. Very close vote totals. Lets have hey look at pennsylvania. There is donald trump with 2. 9 million. Hillary clinton with a little over 2. 8 million. 97 of the votes counted in pennsylvania. Just a few outstanding. Still a little bit too close to call. Pennsylvania is the largest state outstanding at this point. And if if pennsylvania goes Donald Trumps way which it aparpears to be heading that wa all but over for Hillary Clinton tonight. Michigan as well. See the numbers for michigan. It is. And, yet our decision desk still has pennsylvania and michigan as tossups. At this hour. As well as new hampshire. Wisconsin is leaning republican. And arizona is leaning republican. But michigan, new hampshire, pennsylvania, still tossups according to the cbs news decision desk which we are showing right now is, there all looking very closely at those numbers. Yeah, the jackets have come off. Its like it is hot in here already all of a sudden. You know i feel like someone needs to find alanis moresettes song, isnt it ironic. Started off. People are anxious. At least the wait will be over. By the end of the night we will know something. Now we sit here at 2 32 eastern time. We still dont really know. You are looking at Trump Campaign headquarters. Their watch party tonight. And Major Garrett is there for us. Donald trump is expected at any moment. Yeah, donald trump is here. The top advisers to his campaign are beginning to make their way towards the center of the stage. Sarah palin, early endorser. John mccains runningmate is here in hilton midtown manhattan. Were told that donald trump will be out momentarily. We dont know exactly how many moments from now. Some time in the near future. And because there is not a concession from Hillary Clinton, he will not declare absolute victory, we are told. But talk abut tout the directiod he sees, all the numbers, outstanding point favorably in his directs. He wants to thank supporters and talk about this moment. And bask a little bit in the improbability of it all. But also tell the country that, he is going to wait, see how the numbers come in, and when the news organizations declare him the vectick victor and some poi. And propriety of concession from Hillary Clinton should it come is carried out. Then he will declare himself the winner. So in that sense, you can begin to see in the emerging possibility of a president elect trump. A deference to the methodology, the long standing, process of working through a president ial election, a hard fought one and closely contested one. But trump does want to enjoy this moment. And share it with his supporters. And give the country a bit of a glimpse what he sees and expects in the coming hours. I made a reference to this a moment ago. I really do think it is worth pointing out. Every day that donald trump gives a speech he heaps scorn on the dishonest, lying media. I find it ironic that at this moment what is Holding Donald trump back from declaring himself the next president of the United States is the very same media going through the numbers, meticulously, accurately, probingly, to declare him the winner. Major, thank you very much. And we are not holding back, folks, believe me. None of us want to be sitting here at 3 00 in the morning. Sure we do, scott. Our decision desk is going over the numbers as major said, meticulously. We just want to make sure that we make these estimates correctly. For you. And so, we are still counting the last votes and some of these states. That are so close. You know, what a difference six or eight hours makes. Hillary Clinton Watch Party early this evening filled up with high spirits. They were expecting to win. They, they thought it was going to be a walk perhaps. The Trump Campaign watch party was much more somber in the beginning. They were afraid they were going to get clobbered. And then, slowly, as the night progressed. It dawned on both of them. Donald trump with 245 electoral volts. And Hillary Clinton with 218. We should point out, as we also look at the popular vote, and donald trump leading in the popular vote, that if we turn, return to the map of the United States, we still have a number of states that are not blue or red. As you can see. Arizona. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Michigan. Pennsylvania. And new new hampshire. Those are battleground states states. Those are the states our decision desk is looking at. Hillary clintons Campaign Chairman said go to sleep. Donald trump will have Something Else to say about that shortly. But these are the states why we are still sitting here at 2 35 in the morning. So interesting, how, how evenly and closely divided our country is you. Saw that, popular vote. It really hasnt changed. In terms of the difference all night long. Donald trump has been ahead by 1 million votes out of 100 million cast. Round numbers. In other word he has been ahead by 1 and that has really been the case over the last several hours. It hasnt changed much at all. I remember scott when we assembled here at 5. 30. Seemed like a long time ago. Yesterday, we looked for the word to describe. The word we used and decided on was tight. It could not be any tighter. The other thing we notice, charlie. You will remember in the early exit polls. That a large percentage of voters. Almost 40 . Said the most important thing to them was change. And, the single most important thing. Early, early in the evening. That gave us a clue about which way this was headed. But it was also a little bit of a fooler. Then on judgment and who you thought could handle the office, added up to the balance of change. So, all of which were attributes that Hillary Clinton has the. We have had an Incredible Team of reporters that spoke with people as they voted. We polled those who voted early. We have a sense of the mood of the electorate that has been these exit polls. If you look at sort of what happened with clinton tonight. She underperformed obama four years ago amongst a number of groups. 1829yearolds. Got 54 of the vote. Obama got 60 of the vote. It goes on. Even among black voters. She got 88 of the black vote. Obama got 93 . When she underperformed did he overperform. Did all the people go to him . Is that what happened here . Yes. Also the case may be too that the Third Party Candidate took part of see where the Third Party Candidate would make a difference in some of the battleground states. His turnout in republican counties was, was very shy. Thats right. She may have turned out in some places but just not enough. Florida again. The best example. He turned out high. And then she turned out, and she turned out and then he turned out even higher. She just never seemed to generate excitement. I think that is the thing we havent talked about here. From the start of her campaign it did not seem spontaneous. It did not seem it seemed almost rehearsed. Everything that she did. And i mean, the fact is in the beginning, any way, she was just simply not a very good candidate. I mean, she just didnt seem to stir up a lot of excitement. Especially among young people. They were going for Bernie Sanders. They were getting excite add but Bernie Sanders. Young women. Young women. You never really thaw that in the Clinton Campaign. I had a chance to talk to millenials, two hours, group of 30 recently. One of the things gary johnson supporter said about Hillary Clinton is that people dont talk about the fact that she is part of the 1 . For him, that was a big issue. Because he felt as the though both candidates, Major Party Candidates could not identify with his own economic struggles. That was something that was a deciding factor for him. This evening is not turning out the way most people thought it would. Other than, unless a member of the Trump Campaign. Have to think that even they john have to be ape little surprised by, that it has come done to this close. Of a margin. Well, i i do know the conversations. They have always been very bullish. Always confident. Always saying, you know, look at the rallies. Look at our, we have a different way of trying to tap into the country, the real country. Not the country as political operators in washington see it. I must say the political operators in washington in the republican establishment, thought that donald trump was not going to win. So, he knew something that they didnt. Live pictures of the trump watch party. Donald trump is there. We are told. We understand he will be taking the stage at any moment. And we will switch to him immediately when hat happens. But we will first go to Major Garrett who is there at campaign headquarters. Major. Well there is a roar of approval here. You can hear behind me. We have been told, i believe, i can confirm, that Hillary Clinton has called donald trump to concede. We expect donald trump to come out at any moment and announce that to the throng of supporters at the hilton hotel in midtown. And this moment, long sought by donald trump, long disbelieved by some in the Republican Party, everyone in the Democratic Party, and a the good number of the American People still unsure about donald trump. Apparently has the come. Trump, if in fact Hillary Clinton, as we are led to believe called to concede, will tell supporters that. Tell the country that and be ginlt procegin the process of moving from republican nominee to president elect of the United States. The atmosphere as you can imagine here is elated. Enthusiastic beyond belief. And a roar just went up right before high went on air, scott, norah. Ear splitting, the kind i have been hearing on the campaign trail when donald trump appeared to rallies where thousands and thousands of supporters hoping this moment might come. In fact it appears it has. We want to emphasize, major, of course, that though word there is that Hillary Clinton has called donald trump to concede, we do not have confirmation of that from the Clinton Campaign. And of course, the way the vote totals are right now, donald trump has not quite won the presidency tonight. He is at 245 electoral votes. He needs 270. The states that are remaining, certainly are leaning his way. There is no question about that. But we were told earlier that Hillary Clintons people were going to take the rest of this morning and wait until tomorrow morning to have any more to say about all of this. We are waiting for donald trump to come out on to the stage. And the moment he does, we will be sure to go to him. And sure would look to know when she called. Arizona, we are now calling for donald trump, cbs news estimates that when all of the votes are counted, donald trump will be the winner in arizona. 11. Give him two more electoral votes. So that now brings our vote totals to Hillary Clinton, 218, donald trump, 256. He only needs to get to 270. And there are a few more states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. That are still outstanding. But donald trump is leading in those states. So, it may just be a matter of time. Maybe just a few more minutes now before this is all done. All he needs is 14, right . To get to 270. Thats right, bob. Thats, thats all he needs is 14. Pennsylvania, alone would do that for him. Michigan alone would do that for him. Here comes donald trump. Sound look they just introduced mike pence. There is mike pence. Mike pence. And his family. We would expect donald trump next. And probably pandemonium to follow him on to the stage. Cnn projecting trump wins wisconsin. They need to be don to four. Then he would be down to four. They have reason to celebrate. At this headquarters tonight. This is an historic night. The American People have spoken and the American People have elected their new champion. America has elected a new president. And it is almost hard for me to express the honor that i and my family feel that we will have the privilege to serve as your Vice President of the United States of america. Usa usa usa usa i come to this moment, i come to this moment, deeply humbled. Grateful to god for his amazing grace. Grateful to my family, my wonderful wife karen, our son michael and his fiancee sarah. Our daughter audry, far away and our daughter charlotte. I could not be here without them. And i am i am deeply grateful to the American People. For placing their confidence in this team and giving us this opportunity to serve. And i am mostly grateful to our president elect, whose leadership and vision will make America Great again so let me say it is my high honor, and distinct privilege to introduce to you the president elect of the United States of america, donald trump donald trump, not having officially won yet, just shy of the 270 electoral votes necessary. But certainly the states that he needs to go over the top, are all leaning in his direction. And the Trump Campaign claiming victory. Cbs news has just projected the state of wisconsin will also go trumps way. No big surprise there. That brings him to 266. Four short of what he needs to win the election. But, certainly as we said before, many of these outstanding states are, leaning his way. There doesnt seem to be any mystery in this any more. As donald trump takes the stage in front of his fans and all of his Campaign Workers there. At his watch potter in manhattan. Cbs news has not yet called the election as we are waiting for vote to come in, in a number of states. But, mike pence has just declared victory and introduced what he said is the next president of the United States. Donald trump who has never run for political office. And in his first bid for office. Has managed to capture 266 electoral votes. And is on his way to winning the presidency. He became a republican in 2012. Here is donald trump. Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much, everybody. Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business. Complicated. Thank you very much. I just received a call from secretary clinton. She congratulated us, it is about us on our victory. And i congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard fought campaign. I mean she, she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time. And we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. I mean that very sincerely. Now its time for america to bind the wound of division. We have to get together. To all republicans, and democrats, and independents across this nation, i say, it is time for us to come together as one united people. Its time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all of americans. And this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people i am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can Work Together and unify our great country. As i have said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and Great Movement made up of millions of hard working men and women who love their country and want a better, Brighter Future for themselves and for their family. It is a Movement Come the prized of americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and believes, who want and expect our government to serve the people and serve the people it will. Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American Dream. I have spent my entire life in business, looking at the Untapped Potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what i want to do for our country. Tremendous potential. I have gotten to know our country so well, tremendous potential. It is going to be a beautiful thing. Every single american will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. We are going to fix our inner cities, and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We are going to rebuild our infrastructure. Which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. We will also finally, take care of our great veterans. We have been so loyal, and i have gotten to know so many over this 18 month journey. The time i spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors. Our veterans are incredible people. We will embark upon a project of National Growth, and renewal. I will harness the creative talents of our people. And we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. It is going to happen. We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth, and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time, we will get along with all other nations. Willing to get along with us. We will be. We will have great relationships. We expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our countrys destiny. And dream big and bold and daring. We have to do that. We are going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again. I want to tell the World Community that while wailable is a put americas interest first, we will deal fairly with everyone. With everyone. All people and all other nations. We will seek Common Ground, not hostility. Partnership not conflict. And now, i would look to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight, very, very historic victory. First i want to thank my parents, who i know are looking down on me right now. Great people. I have learned so much from them. They were wonderful in every regard. I had truly great parents. I also want to thank my sisters, mary ann and elizabeth, who are here with us tonight. Where are they . Theyre here some place. Theyre very shy, actually.

To melania and don and eric and tiffany and love you and i thank you and especially for putting up with all of those hours. This was tough. This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and its tough. So i want to thank my family very much. Really, fantastic. Thank you all. Thank you all. And laura, unbelievable job. Unbelievable, vanessa. Thank you. Thank you very much. What a great group. You have all given me such incredible support and i will tell you that we have a large group of people. You know they kept saying we have a small staff. Not so small. Look at all the people we have. Look at all of these people. And kellyann and chris and rudy and steve and david. We have got, we have got tremendously talented people up here. I will tell you it has been very, very special. I want to give a very special thanks to, our former mayor, rudy giuliani. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. He traveled with us and he went thank you, chris. The first man, first senator, first major, major politician, let me tell you he is highly respected in washington because he is as smart as you get, senator jeff sessions. Where is jeff . A great man. Another great man, tough competitor. He was not easy. He was not easy. Who is that . Is that the mayor that showed up . Is that rudy . Rudy got up here. Another great man who has been really a friend to me, but i will tell you, i got to know him as a competitor, because he was one of the folks that was negotiating to go against those democrats. Dr. Ben carson. Where is ben . Where is ben . And by the way, Mike Huckabee is here some place, he is fantastic. Mike and his family, sarah. Thank you very much. General mike flynn. Where is mike . And general kellogg. We have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign. And theyre special people. It is really an honor the we have 22 congressional medal of honor recipients. Just tremendous people. A very special person, who believed me and, you know i would read reports that i wasnt getting along with him. I never had a bad second with him. He is an unbelievable star. He is, thats right, how did you possibly guess . So, let me tell you about reince. I have said this. I said, reince, i know it. I know it. Look at all the people over there. I know it. Reince is a superstar. But i said, they cant call you a superstar, reince, unless we win. You cant be called a superstar, like secretariat, if secretariat came in second, secretariat would not have that big beautiful, bronze bust at the track. At belmont. I will tell you reince is really a star. He is the hardest working guy. And in a certain way i did this, reince, come up here. Get over here, reince, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Its about time you did this, reince. My god. Say a few words. No, come on. Say something. Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States, donald trump thank you it has been an honor. God bless. Thank god. You bet. Amazing guy. Our partnership with the rnc was so important to the success in what we have done. So i also have to say. I have got in to know some incredible uh people. The secret service people. Theyre tough and theyre smart. And theyre sharp. And i dont want to mess around with them. I can tell you. And when i want to go and wave to a beg group of people and they rip me down and put me back down. But they are fantastic people. So i want to thank the secret service. And Law Enforcement in new york city. Theyre here tonight. These are spectacular people. Some times underappreciated unfortunately. But we appreciate them. We know what they go through. So, its been what they call an historic event. But to be really historic, we have to do a great job. And i promise you that i will not let you down. We will do a great job. We will do a great job. I look very much forward to being your president. And hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years or maybe even eight years, you will say, so many of you worked so hard for us. But you will say that you will say that that was something that you were really very proud to do. And i can, thank you very much. And i can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. We are going to got to work immediately for the American People. And we are going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president you will be so proud. Again. Its my honor. It is an amazing evening, an amazing two year period. And i love this country. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you to mike pence, thank you, everybody. Congratulations, mr. President. And that was donald trump, the 45th president of the United States. Giving a conciliatory speech tonight. Thanking his supporters. Thanking his family. Talking about the need to bind the wounds of division in this country. And saying, our work is really just now beginning. Thanking Hillary Clinton. In a way that we havent heard before that we owe her a debt of gratitude. And the time to heal has come. That he wants to be the uniter of all people. And he made a point of saying, i am the president of all people. It was a very untrumplike speech from what we have heard throughout the campaign. Well we will ask him whether he could be conciliatory, and magnanimous in defeat. We found out that he can be magnanimous in victory. I can be politically correct, so absolutely politically correct when the moment calls for it. The moment called for a speech like that. He gave it. Bob, talk about now, the challenges for sum within as they transition from booing a candidate to trying to govern and becoming filling that office, the awesomeness of the office and the responsibilities that go with it. I think we are kind of in unchartered territory now. We, really dont know. This is this is a totally new and different group. Than we have seen arrive in washington before. And i dont think we can predict where this goes from here. I mean it is different. Its this was a different campaign. And what happens now is different as well. I think it is encouraging to say he wants to reach out to all americans. Campaign is over. The work is just beginning. That he wants to do a good job for everybody. We havent heard him speak that way before. Because he said he wanted partnership, not conflict. Which was also something that, that he you hadnt heard before. The first person to become president of the United States without having held Previous Elected Office since dwight eisenhower. He did it without the advantage of having won world war ii. Here is the immediate challenge for him. The rhetoric was basically about as good as we have heard from him and you could deliver. He will have a Supreme Court seat to fill right away. Hillary clinton would probably not have. Talking to republicans in the senate. They would have voted him through. So he has a Supreme Court. Supreme court fights get nasty pretty fast. There is that. Plus, the, dismantling of obama care. The building of the wall. His policy agenda. Right away. Is is one that, that is going to require some, some massaging. So that will be interesting. Where he puts his marker as he starts to talk about. But we didnt have a divided government. We have a republican senate. And a republican congress. There is a filibuster in the senate. They filibuster the senate. His Supreme Court nominee. Which will return the court to being a conservative majority. Then you are going to have a fight in washington. You dont know where the other part its. This is going to be. I dont care what you see. This is going to be greet with surprise. Around the world. Maybe, maybe, russias pleased with it. As as we were hearing. From, from our reporter. In moscow earlier this evening. I dont know how the rest of the world is going to react with, to this, except with surprise. Theyre going to find it hard to believe. I think. Theyll probably react depending on how he maintains a sense that he did in this speech or in terms of the people that he chooses, selects to be in his cabinet. That will be an indication of what kind of government he wants to have. Major garrett is at the Trump Campaign headquarters. Major. Well a couple of things, scott, everyone else on the panel. Talking governing. My sources within the Trump Transition Team tell me that, as of last thursday, all of the work set before that Transition Team had been completed. Meaning they put together all of the policy binders. Put together all the binders on possible cabinet and subcabinet nominations apin theees. Put together all of the bindings on other political appointis that a future Trump Presidency should it occur might have to have ready for the work to begin rather. So that work, by the Transition Team, has been completed. And is ready for donald trump, now president elect of the United States. So when donald trump told the country tonight, he is going to got to work. He has plenty of binders and plenty of staffers on that Transition Team. Who have done the work for him. To begin that process. Couple of other observations. Donald trump has said from the very beginning of this campaign, that he saw something in america in terms of Untapped Potential and in terms of people who wanted to be a part of a rejuvenated American Dream but felt that was no longer open to them. He tried to speak to those people. Before he spoke to anyone else. In a way. That they fundamentally understood without any filtering from any other source. And even when controversies would arise. And trumps poll numbers would dip or there would be some defections from the Republican Party over something that trump said. Those people, who heard trump first. Never left his side. Trump was speaking to them tonight when he talked about a country to be proud in. A country that will aim for the best. Never accept anything less than the best. Those word always rez nated with his supporters. One last historical analogy that i have never forgotten since newt gingrich. Long term trump supporter put before me several months ago. To understand donald trump, you have to understand three american figures. Andrew jackson. A populist president who toppled the existing order in washington. Teddy roosevelt. A republican president who challenged the existing republican approach to business. And was a person of strength and projected strength. And pt barnum. Some one who marketed himself for the benefit of his business and image of himself. Newt gingrich told me, donald trump is a combination of all three of those figures. And his upside potential is enormous. And Downside Risk is also rather sizable. Even in the last days of the campaign, gingrich fretted openly if trump, the downside would undercut the potential upside. It did not. The upside now lays before the country. Lays before trump. And his Transition Team. Guys back to you. And, nancy cordes is over at the jacob Javits Center in new york where Hillary Clintons watch party broke up about an hour ago. Nancy . Scott, the lights are out here the they have already brought out the heavy equipment to start tearing this whole set apart. What is so fascinating is that for all of the talk over the past many weeks about the possibility of donald trump not accepting the outcome of this election, in the end, it was Hillary Clinton and her campaign chair, john podesta speaking for her who came out after 2 00 eastern time and told everyone to go home because things were still up in the air. Yet a short time later, we can now confirm, Hillary Clinton did call donald trump to concede. So, at the end of the day, she is the one who has not delivered a concession speech at least on Election Night. I am told that there are number of Clinton Campaign officials still at brooklyn headquarters, crunching the numbers. Trying to figuree out what went wrong. Trying to figuree out if there are any voting irregularities that, they should examine or call attention to. Every Single Campaign aide i have seen here tonight, scott, has been shell shocked. Theyre stunned by this news. They werent just confident at the beginning of the night that she was going to win, they were sure of it. There was no other possible outcome. In their mind. Not because they were cocky or being fanciful but because all of the data that they were looking at was telling them that she was going to win. And that may be part of the reason that you never saw her here tonight. Which is, just like her campaign aides, it was very difficult for Hillary Clinton to accept the news as well. Nancy cordes, thank you. An interesting point she makes there. About as much data, polling, money, consultants, the whole obama analytics team, could not fend off what has been an incredible uprising for change in this country and for the unique person that donald trump is. You know it will be fascinating when he starts to govern. Because a lot of times when people would say, well you know you are supposed to do it this way. Not doing it that way. Doing it the other way. Create a certain sense of chaos. He thrived in chaos. In fact when things were too calm he some times would create chaos to turn the conversation on his turf. What does that look like when you govern it . May be the route to new success in a number of parts of washington that have been clotted. But it is going to be an exciting ride. And there are going to be a lot of people who need to join in the team who may not know how to work or need to learn how to work in an environment where you have got a leader who leads in that way. That will be, we have never seen a, a chief executive, who has led like that. In part because the office constrains you, you cant do it. But on the other hand we thought there was a lot in politics that constrained him. Nothing did. Guys, he said all along from the very beginning. This was not a campaign. This was a movement. He made, made reference to that again tonight. A movement he says of hard working people who love their country. And at least from the numbers we are looking at right now. Close to 58 million people, agreed with him. That this is a movement. But it was also a reaction. A reaction to a washington that has ceased to work. The purpose of government is to improve the lives of citizens. Our government has been just gridlocked. Its been unable to do anything. I said earlier today, you know it took him eight months to approve funds to find the vaccine for the zika virus. This is a reaction to what didnt hap men as much as it was a victory for donald trump and his people tonight. And charlie rose has the insights of our political panel. Charlie. Scott, thank you. You can say that everybody who achieved the presidency, somehow it changes them. They cant imagine what it is look to be there and to feel the burd in of the office. And his First Official act, to accept the concession from secretary clinton, donald trump did it with some grace. And, respect for his opponent. Chris christie told me on sunday during an interview that he had been working hard on the transition and that they have reams of books and had thought deeply about what they would do if the opportunity to girch came. I turn next to peggy noonan. Thoughts . I think his victory speech which many people including perhaps he did not know he would be making tonight. Was a very, was one that was worthy to the moment. It showed us a trump who was graver than usual, who was more serious than usual. He said things like, no dream is too big. No challenge is too great. He reached out. I think he was trying very hard, i think he was being sensitive to those he understood he had to reassure the one half of the United States of america that did not vote for him. So i thought it was equal to the moment. And i was glad to see its tone and hear its ring. Michelle . I agree. He spoke in an ok taf that we have not heard thus far in the campaign. And, and with a cadence that we havent heard. This was perhaps his first demonstration of something as, as a leader that we hadnt seen before. He didnt throw an elbow. But he also talked about rebuilding. It will be interesting to know what that means. Is he just talking about infrastructure . Is he just talking about building the economy . Or also talking about unspooling the legacy of barack obama . Barack obamas presidency has been consequential. And for some people they view it as something that has been quite successful. Will he start taking apart key provisions of the obama legacy . And so it sounded quite graceful. But was he also sending a signal. That change is coming. Big change is coming. Charlie, what i keep coming become to and thinking about trumps victory. The implications we will see going forward. His coalition didnt just include working class whites and College Whites on an activist level, it clued steven ban non, identify themselves as white nationalists, parts of American Life that have been suppressed for a very long time. So looking for ward, i think i am a little less interested in the mechanics of a trump government and more interested what does it moon that a candidate in a lot of ways ran with a nod and wink towards those people is now the president of the United States. But whut do what does that mean for africanamericans, muslimamericans, for the groups of people trump targeted in his campaign. I think that is the question that should be driving a lot of us going forward. Because i do not think we should take lightly that, those facts. The question will be will he govern differently than the way he campaigned . Often governing as some one, i think Governor Cuomo said, governing is pros and campaign and poetry. We well now see what the prose is like. I think one of the things that was said that was so important. Governing is one thing. Also the messages that you send. We have this odd moment in america where we are passing the baton from the nations first black president to a candidate who was endorsed by the kkk and did not denuns that. A not denounce that. As president you send a message to the electorate. Governance is one thing. But how people live and reaction on the ground is something different. About action not words. In the end. Yes, of course. But let me you love words. I do indeed. I think we have witnessed tonight something epical and grave. I think it is the beginning of a new era whose shape and form and content are not known to us. And are not clear. Whose personnel and exact direction are unknown. But i think something huge and incalculable has occurred. I want my word to be, god bless our beloved country. It was hand historic night. We all look forward to understanding how it goes from here. Back to scott and norah at the desk. Brilliant conversation there, charlie, and some really interesting points to amplify here. What is barack obama going to say . He has called donald trump unfit. He called him dangerous. And what will this mean for obamas legacy . It means it is in jeopardy . January 20th, president obama is going to be standing next to donald trump at the capitol watching him being sworn in. Well, i mean, one of the first things that donald trump has said he is going to do is, roll back obamacare. Which was the president s main legacy. And what other things are going to happen here . That as you know, and he is going to have to work with congress. And there are priorities here that is going to have to take place. Were looking closer into the numbers about how trump pulled off this historic victory tonight. Anthony mason has those details. Anthony . Thera. Going to look at three pillars of trumps victory. The first was, male voters. Men, he won them 53 to 41 . He also won whites without a college degree, by more than a 2 1 margin. 67 to 28 . Voters told us the call they they wanted mosten their candidate. A candidate who could bring about change. Among those voters. Donald trump won 83 . So, huge landslide in that category there. The most important quality. And finally there was a lot of talk after the access Hollywood Tape and a lot of leading republicans pulled back their endorsement from donald trump. That republicans might in fact flee from him. Well that didnt turn out to be the case today. He won nine out of ten republican voter. They came home to donald trump. Gail . Certainly did, anthony. Continuing that conversation. According to the exit poll, 7 in ten said they were dissatisfied with the federal government. 58 of those who made that comment with donald trump. 36 of those went with Hillary Clinton. It goes back to what he said, from when he started this campaign, not a campaign, a movement of people. That certainly bore itself out today. Now Everybody Knows it is only the electoral vote that counts. And donald trump has won that decisively tonight. But have a look at how divided the country is. Lets look at the popular vote. 57,600,000 for donald trump. 56,855,000 for Hillary Clinton. Thats the popular vote as it is being counted right now. Donald trump wins in the popular vote. Yes indeed. But its only about 1 difference. Between the two. Yes. You know, we have seen donald trump give a conciliatory sort of the right pitch in his speech. But those 56 million who voted for Hillary Clinton there are a lot of them who believe he came to this position by playing on racial fears, he was for five years the chief advocate of the idea that president obama was illegitimate he wasnt born in the United States. There are people on the other side of this who are not just going to accept this. We will see what the shape of that response will be and whose, who becomes the voice of that response. You mentioned barack obama the he will not be the voice thought of response. But who, who is . Who does . And we have yet to see that part of the story play out. Yeah. Couple things. One this is really an hiss toreic achieve. In america. An historic, nothing like this ever happened. Secondly, you have to give him credit. He has achieved something that no one, from the beginning, ever believed she could do. Elaine . On the point john was making abut racial decisions. David duke tweeted this is one of the most exciting nights of my life. Make no mistake about it. Our people have played a huge role in election trump, make America Great again. Now at the same time, as trump was reaching out tonight, i was reminded of the latinos that i met at the u. S. mexico border when i did a documentary, latinos for trump. Among the most passionate supporters the they felt he was the one who was going to affect change in washington they truly believed in him from the beginning despite all the controversies. Bob, what are you reflection on this morning . I remember when Richard Nixon resigned. Cbs news correspondent, roger mudd was part of the panel. After that happened. I said roger what is your reaction. He said, you know i think i want to go home and sleep a couple hours and ill come back and tell you tomorrow. This was totally unexpected. I think certainly from those of us who have been covering politic politics over the years, i think charlie is right. This is, this is historic. But i dont think we can say right now where this goes from here. Unexpected not because of any interest in politics. But unexpected because of the polling. The polls were telling us, polls done by many different organizations, many different times, they were all pointing in the direction of the clinton victory. The polls and the behavior of the candidate that people said was not fit to be president , of the United States, so many people had found his behavior egregious, at the end of the day it really didnt matter. I take, you know i take some hope in his speech tonight. That he said he wants to reach out. That he wants to build bridges. Stand that he wants us al come together each of think that is a really great way to start in this country. There is a lot of healing that needs to happen today. If you look to your point, gail. On the questions of has the right experience and right judgment. Hillary clinton won those questions by large amounts and numbers. Again not what people wanted. They wanted change over experience and judgment. Theyre fed up. All right. Well yeah. Change is what they will get. And it has been quite a night. We hope rerules by hope rather than fear. Well, his conciliatory victory speech tonight was certainly a very good step in a long, long process over these next four years. We sure are grateful that you stayed here with us. All this time. Yes, who are you people . Some times raunchy election of 2016 now comes to a peaceful if improbable end. 70yearold donald j. Trump. Sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on january 20th. The Trump Presidency begins in 72 days. Fueled by what we know now is record turnout. Election coverage continues now on our streaming news service, cbsn. There will be much more in just a few hours. Really . Yeah. Who is going to be here . Charlie and i right back here. Wearing these same clothes. For Norah Odonnell and our entire campaign 2016 team, im scott pelley. Thank you for being with us on cbs. I am officially running for president of the United States. Im back. When mexico sends it people, theyre not sending their best. Im running to help working families get a raise we will make America Great again. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. It is weak to disparage women. A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not be anywhere near the nuclear code. I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody. I wouldnt lose any voters. Just remember, love trumps hate. I humbly accept your nomination. For president of the United States. Russia if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails. Im not making excuses. I said it was a mistake. I regret it. This is the single biggest scandal since watergate. There is no pay scale. We are going to win at the border. Mexico is going to pay for the wall. Lock her up you can put half of Trump Supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. She has tremendous hate in her heart. I dont care what he says about me. I care what he says about you. I pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans. Scalpel. I have no idea what im doing. Im just a tv doctor. I never went to college. scream i dont do blood. But now, thanks to cigna, i can do more than just look the part. Is that a foot . We are the tv doctors of america. And were partnering with cigna to help save lives. By getting you to a real doctor for an annual checkup. So go, know, and take control of your health. Doctor poses. Cigntogether, all the way. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. It is my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to you the president elect of the United States of america, donald trump. I have just received a call from secretary clinton. She congratulated us, it is about us, on our victory and i congratulated her and her family on a very, very hardfought campaign. I mean she she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time. And we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. I mean that very sincerely. Now it is time for america to bind the wounds of division, have to get together. To all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, why say, it is time for us to come together as one united people. Its time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the ps, of which there were a few people, i am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can Work Together and unify our great country. As i have said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and Great Movement made up of millions of hard working men and women who love their country and want a better Brighter Future for themselves and for their families. It is a movement comprised of americans from all races, religions, background and beliefs. Who want and expect our government to serve the people and serve the people it will. Working together we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American Dream. I have spent my entire life in business, looking at the Untapped Potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what i want to do for our country. Tremendous potential. I have gotten to know our country so well. Tremendous potential. It is going to bea beautiful thing. Every single american will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. We are going to fix our inner cities. And rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We are going to rebuild our infrastructure. Which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. We will also finally take care of our great veterans. Who have been so loyal. I have gotten to know so many over this 1 month journey. The time i have spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors. Our veterans are incredible people. We will embark upon a project of National Growth and renewal. I will harness the creative talents of our people, and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. It is going to happen. We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth. And have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time we will get along with all other nations. Willing to get along with us. We will be. We will have great relationships. We expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our countrys destiny. And dream big and bold and daring. We have to do that. We are going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again. I want to tell the World Community that while we will always put americas interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone. With everyone. All people, and all other nations. We will seek Common Ground not hos pill t hostility. It has been what they call an historic event. But to be really historic, we have to do a great job. And i promise you that i will not let you down. We will do a great job. We will do a great job. I look very much forward to being your president. And hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years or maybe even eight years, you will say, so many of you worked so hard for us, but you will say, that you will say that that was something that you were really very proud to do and i can thank you very much and i can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. We are going to got to work immediately for the American People. And we are going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president , you will be so proud. Again, its my honor. It was an amazing evening. It has been an amazing twoyear period. And i love this country thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you to mike pence. Thank you, everybody. Congratulations, mr. President. That was donald trump, the 45th president of the United States. Giving a conciliatory speech tonight. Thanking his supporters. Thanking his family. Margaret brennan is at the white house for us tonight. Margaret. Well the crowd has gathered here, scott, but the silence from the white house is deafening. President obama argued that the very fate of the republic, his words, hinged on his election. And he was on the stump for his successor more than any other president in modern history. Donald trump, a man he called uniquely unfit for office is going to deal obamas historic presidency a serious blow. Clinton had promised that she would protect his signature achievement, obama care which has been damaged in recent months. She had pledged to undertake immigration reform. Roll out environmental protections and defend that landmark nuclear deal with iran which trump says he is going to tear up. Supreme court nominee, Merrick Garland doesnt look like he will get confirmed. That will leave us with a split Supreme Court. Trump said he will renegotiate obamas free trade deal with asia and other alliances. So this is going to make it very difficult on monday when president obama heads to europe to try to reassure allies that america is going to stand by their defense. Particularly considering that trump has made friendly overtures to russia. How is he going to explain this pledge to possibly starting trade deal with china. So this is going to be really difficult for the white house to explain away in the light of day. But, scott, norah, president obama said before the polls closed that, when the sun rises, america will still be the greatest nation on earth. I think it is safe to say, he didnt think he would wake up to this kind of result. Margaret, it sounds like, and looks like there is a really large crowd around the white house. Whats going on . Scott, there has been a crowd gathering over the past few hours. Its gotten much, much larger in the past 30 minutes or so. You have seen more, secret service move towards that front gate of the white house. Just trying to protectively get things under control, or watch for any threats. But you have a mix here. You have got chants of black lives matter, you have got antidonald trump chants, you have pro hillary chants. I see, red, white, blue balloons. Some singing the american anthem. And other patriotic sounds earlier. So it is sort of hard to in many ways poll through the gate exactly where sentiment is. Sounds just as confused as many of the political experts have been in predicting this outcome. Margaret, thank you very much. January 20th, there is going to be a new resident in the most splendid of all Public Housing in america. There on pennsylvania avenue. Charlie rose has some insightful panelists for us to listen to right now. Charlie. Indeed, scott. I began with frank. Tell me, what do you think . This is inconceivable, five, six hours ago. First, all exit polling should be banned. The fact is the numbers were wrong. All the way across the stable. The 5 00 p. M. Second wave got it wrong. Second, still a hidden trump vote. People who refused to tell pollsters who they voted for will not acknowledge it. They will come out of the woodwork tonight. How do you address the anger . Those are the people who want to tear up and blow up washington. Theyre going to have to figure out a way to work with them, the house, the senate. This is going to be the most chaos we have seen in washington in a long, long time. Your belief is that trump has won . Yes, had a chance to look at counties. I believe fromle will be the next president. Peggy . There are, we should keep this in mind, tens of millions of americans who tonight who are experiencing this evening not only as a political event, and a an historical event, but as a spiritual event. They feel grateful, they feel they are, rebuking a decayed establishment that earned a rebuke in 25 ways. Spoke to a friend, major trump supporter, told me, just speck to him. I said how did you react when you realize the this was going to happen . He is a tough, hard boiled guy, he said it was 9 00 p. M. , and i burst into tears. This is really going to be something. He said, but it is the right thing we are certain. I leave it there. We often saw in this campaign, when the focus was on donald trump, his numbers went down. When the focus was on Hillary Clinton. Her numbers went down. My question at this hour, of this election day, was this a victory for trump or a loss for Hillary Clinton . Was it about trump . Or clinton . Well, i think it is hard to argue this isnt a victory for trump. His people came out in the right places in the right numbers. And brought an extraordinary upset. One of the, the largest in american history. Not just political upset in america in history if he goes on to win this. My gosh in our lifetime, certainly. Dewey defeats truman since 1948. I have to add this was also a validation of a certain kind of politics, more cool, more ruthless. More personal than any i have seen in my lifetime. He has a huge burd in if he wins this election to do some form of outreach to say this is a single country. And not, not used up, groups, to, to attack. In that way. I dont know if he is capable of that. But every president has that. And this president more than others. If he wins not only the biggest upset of our political memory, is it also the most transformative election because of who he was, how he campaigned and what he did . Is it . I think thats fair. Foreign policy, this is a total change from the reagan foreign policy. Change from the bush foreign policy. I mean it is a removal, almost like kicking away from the past 15 years. I think is how. And his supporters, must say. Trump said he would do this. And there is a remarkable thing. His supporters too, all along, said they were going to accomplish what they accomplished tonight. It is quite an achievement. But they, the problem is, i have talked to supporters a lot in the last year. For your show. Right. They want revenge. They dent waont want cooperati. What does revenge mean . Get even, the people in washington and wall street who did them down. What do you mean get even . Got even with politicians. Buy businesses who got rich and sent jobs, get even with a society they think turned against them. One thing trump people half in common, they think they lost their america and they want it back. There is also confidence in a trust government. Dow jones futures are going, down, down, down with great concern. That does feel like brexit. It does. Very similar up turning of the establishment and then the financial establishment beginning to quake and quiver. Well see what follows that. He wont be able to populate with loyalists. He will need republicans. Of course not. Of course not. People like senator corker, secretary of state possibility. Would be reassuring to foreign countries. Make moves like that. Okay. This question too. Whats the possibility this election will be challenged and will half months and months of well see what kind of a margin we are looking at end of the night. If this is close, close, looks like may be movement in the area of questioning certain state outcomes. If it seems more definitive than that, i would think it appropriate that it be accepted and i would kind of expect that. Although, mrs. Clinton is not someone who, she is like trump, neither of them would be quick to do a concession speech. So well see how that goes. This is not about them. This is about their voters. Their voters are going to protest. See it in front of the white house. Mark my words tomorrow those protests are going to grow. Because it knew an ordinary wastissue was near. Ar. The fiery tissue left her nose sore and red. So dad slayed the problem with puffs plus lotion, instead. Puffs have pillowy softness for dakotas tender nose. With lotion to comfort and soothe when she blows. Dont get burned by ordinary tissues. A nose in need deserves puffs, indeed. Now get puffs plus lotion in the squeezable softpack. I really did save hundreds on my Car Insurance with geico. I should take a closer look at geico. Geico has a long history of great savings and great service. Over seventyfive years. Wait. Seventyfive years . That is great. Speaking of great, check out these hot riffs. You like smash mouth . Uh, yeah i have an early day tomorrow so. Wait. Almost there. Goodnight, bruce. Gotta tune the a. humming take a closer look at geico. Great savings. And a whole lot more. This is the closest president ial elect icing have covered. In a number of states, extraordinarily close vote tallies. Go to anthony mason, who can explain . We wanted to look at the exit polls to see what the recipe is for motivating trump voters. You could kind of, remember 1976 film network and, im mad as hell not going to take it any more. A howard beal coalition. Voters told us theyre angry at the federal government. 93 said the country is on the wrong track. 77 said the fight with isis is going badly. 57 told us trade is taking jobs away. I remember going back a decade, hearing middle class voters in ohio tell me they felt that washington protected the rich and protected the poor and forgot about them. In the last 16 years the Median Income in the country has not moved. That is a res cipe for anger. You can see they tore the room apart. This is where paul ryan had the victory celebration tonight on his reelection for his ninth term to the house of representatives. And we are told that earlier this evening, paul ryan called donald trump and congratulated him on his big night and they say he had a, they had a very nice conversation. It is a very interesting dance were going to see between these two if donald trump does pull out this victory. Because you may recall that a month ago after that tape was released the billy bush tape, in which donald trump talked so rudely and lewdly alobout women. Paul ryan was so offended he said he wasnt going to defend him anymore and wasnt going to, campaign with him. That really angered a lot of Trump Supporters. And tonight, some are saying that trump should do everything he can to keep paul ryan from being reelected as speaker. So you have got a real drama going on here in wisconsin. Aside from the fact that this race is so close. By the way when we first came out here, a few days again to cover this, we didnt come here to cover it as the a battleground state. We cam to cover the battle between trump and ryan. It only became a battleground state today. Really. People really missed what was going on here. Chip reid in wisconsin for us tonight. Also we should make note, that the democarts needed to peck up five seats in order to take control of the senate. And they have failed to do that. The senate will remain in republican hands. alex tor if you have medicare or will be covered soon, here are some important things you should know.

We take a lack back at some memorable moments including a few you might prefer to forget. Ladies and gentlemen, today. Here in our small state. Inspired by the future. I am proud to announce. I have decided. I am running for president. Its nobodys turn. It is everybodys test. It is wide open. I wont talk about jeb bush. I will not say, i will not that he is low energy. I will not say it. Its lyin. Im looking at little marco. See his hand. You called women you dont like. Fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. Only rosie odonnell. You know, kiss, kiss. When youre a star they let you do it. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud. We will win at the border. I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody. I wouldnt lose any voters. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. Have you even read the United States constitution . I will gladly lend you my copy. Let me Say Something that may not be great politics. And that is that the American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn, emails. Me too. Me too. You talk about leveling with the American People have you always told the truth. I have always tried to. Some people are going to call that wiggle room. I am with you. I will fight for you. And i will win for you. Because, Hillary Clinton, my daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States. After all when there are no ceilings, the sky is the limit. I have much better judgment than she does. I also have a much better temperament than she has. Ooh, okay. The people at home cannot understand either one of you. It is just awfully good that some one with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the lawen our country. Because youd be in jail. Do you make the commitment you will ak absolutely accept the result of this election. I will tell you at the time. Keep you in suspense. Thats horrifying. This is not the way we do it in the United States of america. None of us want to wake up wednesday morning and wish we had done more. If we dont win, this will be the single greatest waste of time energy and money in my life. Dont boo. Dont boo. Vote. Captioning funded by cbs its wednesday, november 9th, 2016.
