Called with record turnout, chaotic term ends with rare incumbent loss. Usa today has a big smiling picture of the president elect with biden wins white house. Washington post shows the winning candidates tonight and the simple headline reads, biden defeats trump. And the New York Post goes with this its joe time. Theres also the drudge report which had the headline youre fired. Youre fired. The president in it. Lets bring in mike memoli, Allison Barber and msnbc contributor yamiche alcindor, White House Correspondent for pbs news hour. Last night we got what the day was like for joe biden. Whats the next three months going to be like for joe biden . Yeah, very difficult work of preparing to govern and ultimately governing begins very soon with the work of the Transition Team. The Biden Transition Team has been working very quietly over the last few months. Really as early as march im told by sources involved in the transition to get ready with this moment. And joe biden, one of his mo
Trump continues to utilize his favorite form of gaslighting which is lying through his teeth on the covid surge. Even getting the socalled White House Science Office to say trump ended the pandemic as the nation hits record cases and hospitalizations. Now, first of all, you should Never Trust Anything affiliated with trump called the science office. And secondly, a lie of this magnitude is deliberately harming you and your loved ones and stoking a trumpian delusion around the pandemic. But that delusion is getting punctured every day by none other than covid itself. All they talk about is covid, covid, covid. Covid, covid. And weve made such progress. Its incredible. The state shattered a new case record. El paso sees yet another day of 1,000plus new cases. The hospitals have said that they may have to start rationing care. Its very clear that were in an Alarming State right now. You turn on and you say, cases have jumped. Cases. Because we do now, if we did half the testing, wed have
And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. That was goldwater as the anticivil rights president ial nominee in 1964. 12 years earlier in 1952, his Senate Victory marked the last time arizona had two democratic senators, until today. When former astronaut and Navy Captain Mark kelly was worn into the senate by Vice President mike pence. With his wife, former congresswoman and gun violence survivor Gabrielle Giffords by his side. Its another quiet way that Donald Trumps administration has officially acknowledged that the election is over, despite trump being unable to admit that he lost, but theres always a cowards caveat in trumpism. When nbc news asked pence if he accepted the Election Results in arizona, which he, himself, had just confirmed by swearing in senator kelly, who won at the same time that joe biden won arizona because their names were on the same ballots, pence did not respond. Meanwhile, trump continues to pump out bogus claims of v
Anything illegal. Each has faced potential exposure in at least one criminal investigation since trumps presidency began. We should all keep in mind that this is the very president said to be operating like a criminal begrade by Andrew Mccabe, then the number two at the fbi who was so alarmed by the conduct he witnessed in trumps earliest weeks in office that he opened a counterintelligence probe into the president of the United States. Mccabe in his book likens the vibe inside trump world to the russian mobsters hed investigated. The message, quote, this is a dangerous business and its a bad neighborhood. If you want my protection, i can protect you. And it is in that vein that another bombshell drops since we were last on the air. A court filing unsealed yesterday revealed for the very first time that the Justice Department is investigating a bribery scheme related to this white house and their dispensing of president ial pardons. Nbc news reporting that that investigation, quote, ma
This will not be an unag ration like any this country has seen. Already, the transfer of power is not a peaceful one, in the aftermath of a coordinated insurrection, attempted coup detat at the capital. Today, the Associated Press reporting that u. S. Defense Officials Say they are worried about an insider attack, or a threat from Service Members involved in securing joe bidens inauguration. Prompting the fbi to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops who are in washington to keep this thing safe and sound. And just to underscore the magnitude of the general level of alarm, this morning, the capitol was again put on lockdown, causing many people here to freak out over what turned out to be a small fire under a nearby bridge. And if it seems like d. C. And our entire federal government is on edge, that might be because the more we learn about the insurrection of january 6th, the worse the state of our nation is revealed to be. New video captured by the new yorker reveals the closest
