Any efforts republicans make in any court and you see states to advance the absurd theory that the president is hours last night. Youre watching r t internationals coverage of the 2020 u. S. President ial election my names donald quarter and ill be joining you for the program its certainly a nail biter so lets jump right in the fate of the u. S. Presidency rests in the hands of half a dozen states still counting votes right now results theyre hanging in the balance and could still go either way making both donald trump and joe biden confident theyll win the white house earlier the Democratic Candidates seem to declare victory but the president is having none of that tail up and looks at where things stand.

It feels like the whole republic fringes. Well, excuse me. We are having one of the greatest rallies i have ever seen despite all the worries, the woes about the market tanking if Election Night was in indecisive indecisive like it or not, the people spoke.

Correspondent Maccallum Orkin who joins us from new york areas a good evening kel
