Seven states have yet to declare, including pennsylvania, and these are the states that will decide whos president for the next four years.

The man leading the county tells me he is unconcerned. Leading the count. Across the united states, theres a mix of tension and uncertainty, as the final outcome could take time to resolve. This election is still on a knife edge but, by very fine margins, it seems that momentum is going injoe bidens direction. Well have the story of a turbulent 2a hours and well be asking what these events tell us about the health of us democracy. Also tonight.

Hello and welcome. The us president ial election is hanging in the balance with both donald trump and joe biden saying they are on course for victory. The margins are tight with just a few thousand votes in a handful of swing states set to decide who wins and who loses. If we take a look at the current state of the electoral map we can see that michigan has been projected as a biden win, and it looks like he could also win wisconsin thats the state shaded grey at the top of the map in the great lakes region. Taking wisconsin puts him ever closer to winning the Electoral College. Lets take a look at how the Electoral College is adding up the magic number is 270 electoral votes, which opens the door to the white house. Trump is currently on 214 finally lets have look at the popular vote. It shows us that turnout is on course to be the highest in more than a century. Alsojoe biden has collected more votes than his old boss barack obama did in 2008 which means hes already received more vot
The final tally in georgia at this point has huge implications for the entire country. Im Laura Trevelyan live in washington at the black lives matter protest camp, where theres a mood of celebration already. They are patiently waiting the result of the election inside of the white house. As for the candidates themselves, mr biden is expected to speak to the nation in the next few hours.

We have no doubt that when the count is finished, senator harris and i will be declared the winners. But mrtrumps camp havent given up. Theyre saying of false projections are putting mr biden ahead. Donald trump has made accusations of electoral fraud, but offered no evidence. If you count the legal votes, i easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. Meanwhile on the streets, mr bidens supporters are already celebrating, but mr trumps supporters are still w
To work in america when the law says theyre not able to work, if they entered the country unlawfully. Until that happens, i have to say that every Senate Democrat is the president s partner in this scheme, as surely if they wrote the executive orders themselves. And surely as if they were sitting right next to the Interest Groups huddling with the white house aides to craft these orders. So i have a message today to all the special interests, the globe elites, the activists, the cynical votecounting politicians, plotters that are meeting in secret at the white house, and this message is this you dont get to sit in a room and rewrite the laws of this United States of america. No, sir. Congress writes the laws. You may not be used used to people telling you no, but im telling you no today. But its critical that our Senate Democrats are willing to say no, too, today when we vote. So i have a message for the American People you have been right from the beginning. You have justly demanded t
