Andrew weissmann is going to be joining us tonight with some trump news, but first i m going to tell you the most hopeful story i know. It is a story about the place where joe biden went today. The place where joe biden was applauded by grateful people from around the world. It is a dangerous place. That is the title of daniel patrick moynihan s book about his service as ambassador to the united nations in the 1970s before new york voters elected him to four terms in the senate, where i went to work for him in the 1990s.

With me here today in our studios is professor Howard Penniman of georgetown university, mr. Stephen hess of the brookings institution. Today, we are going to try to discuss tuesdays bicentennial president ial election here in the United States. Not every last vote has even been counted now, though the provisional final totals are posted behind me, both in electoral and in popular votes for mr. Carter and for president ford. As you know, in this bicentennial president ial election, as in all of our elections in the long history of the republic, the actual winner is determined not by the millions of people who vote for but ratheror ford, by the 51 elections held in
