I. Heard by Donald Trumps rejection of the results his supporters take to the streets demanding a recount. After a long awaited american as america seems to have finally chosen its next leader joe biden is on course to become the 46. 00 president of the United States the Media Projections show he secured 219. 00 Electoral College votes the magic 217 votes needed. Well it has been a slow week of counting since tuesdays election day with the decisive votes coming down to a handful of states alternately it was bidens home state of pennsylvania that hunted the former Vice President bikies to the white house giving him the much needed votes to put him above the threshold of 270. 00 they could also be a historic win for Camila Harris who would be the 1st black woman and Asian AmericanVice President and his 1st speech since he appeared to have secured victory biden called on america to hill division. I will govern as an american president. I worked as hard for those who didnt vote for me as those who did. Not discriminate. David ization. In america began to end here and now the bus chose us to everything there is a season of trying to grow it trying to repeat it trying to show and a time to hear this is the time to heal america. Rejections handing biden the presidency will match with joy from coast to coast loving some of the sun out this avoid it in the oval office crowds of up to in celebration nothing from home state of new york tens of thousands jubilant to take to the streets elsewhere in the country from massachusetts to california. Meanwhile donald trump is yet to concede on these vowing legal challenges in battleground states to contest the result on trying to return to washington with less than welcoming. Well he was actually go think when the election was called for biden as the president ial motorcade into the nations capitol it was met by booing with demonstrators chanting lose their trunks supporters across the country also took to the streets lashing out at what they claim to be a rigged and fraudulent president ial election hundreds of people held signs saying stop the steel and that coat of trumps own claims of those meddling by the democrats arties daniel holkins join me in the studio to discuss bidens 1st public address as president elect. It was clear that whoever won the race whichever way this went to the country would wake up and check their social media or check the news and we pretty disappointed with the outcome it is all over the media have the bought in victory with the man himself changing his social media to hide those to president elect or rest of last president elect lloyd in his future key policies in his victory speech. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Who doesnt sees red states and blue states only sees the United States or murders of be cured for the bros. We will not only we will lead not only by the example of our progress but by the power of our example. Now this campaign is over. What is the will of the people what is our mandate. I believe its this americans have called upon us in the great battles of our time. The battle over cheve Racial Justice and root out systemic racism in this country the browser control the virus the better bill prosperity for the better secure your Families Health care the tackling be coronavirus pandemic was a key pillar of jump on this Election Campaign and also a very convenient weapon political weapon to attack trump with so very ironic seeing as tens of thousands of supporters there on the streets with no socialist of course what so of how secure is biden. In his victory and what challenges does he face its definitely not all plain sailing from here trump has so far refused to concede defeat hes not cool joe biden to congratulate him as is customary in these cases to symbolize a sort of handover of power between president s here hes been issuing very thinly veiled threats that his Campaign Team would be taking legal action in multiple states to try and turn around an action that hes repeatedly described as fraudulent. The observers were not allowed into the counting rooms i won the election good 71000000 legal votes bad things happened which our observers were not allowed to see never happened before millions of 1000000 ballots were sent to people who never asked for them or some from saddam and so their votes not being officially certified yet in those key swing states who put on everybodys minds over the last few days some are still going up going through the process of counting being wrapped up with some will go to recount as well and these slew of allegations coming out of the trump has been quite quite astonishing really that the republican observers as we heard that allegedly not being allowed to witness the vote counting ballots of disease the vote is being counted in favor of joe biden and also many of these have of course been debunked by officials that hasnt stopped his Team Following these legal motions that experts say theyre very unlikely to succeed because the margin of victory for joe biden is so big unlike the bush v gore case in 2000 when the margin of victory was much much smaller if there was like the entire world has been watching this election unfold this week how have people around the world been really acting to the u. S. Domestic politics but i mean some are painting this as a sort of symbol of the electorate mistrust in donald trump people are fed up with his policies most of all his leadership style as well boyden is of course on cost of one of the biggest popular votes in u. S. History but trump has won the 2nd largest popular vote in u. S. History so that does show that theyre actually pretty neck and neck in terms of votes that blue wave of democrats which was predicted hasnt materialized the democrats. Are allowed to take control of the senate the way things stand we wont know until january when those election run offs in georgia or in other states happen so that cliffhanger will remain in place until the new year so that does mean whatever happens so far at least bidens going to face or. Uphill battle in the senate trying to pass his policies despite losing seats the democrats do retain a majority in the house of representatives so thats one positive they can take from this election. Well part of the reason why is that the count drugged on was mail mail in ballots joe biden actively encouraged his voters to use this partly for safety reasons because of the pandemic the 2nd reason is the u. S. Voting system its not enough just to get the most votes overall when it wasnt so clear so similar to what we soared 2016 Hillary Clinton won the majority the popular vote donald trump won the Electoral College count so similar in this election despite joe biden being the clear winner overall in terms of popular votes he had to wait until a very complex and convoluted Electoral College system in his favor as well if trying to get the Supreme Court to consider his case it would echo the election 20 years ago when he defectively handed the presidency to george w. Bush hes going on the ground host Afshin Rattansi spoke with trump impeachment lawyer on the chances of winning a legal battle over the vote. Its unlikely he will prevail in the courts but thats his best shot what sort of time scale are we talking about would be about a month as it was in 2000 with bush and gore i think well have a result within weeks not months if pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think from always had in mind the 300 judges that were appointed under his Administration Given that he had already been suspecting vote tampering. Well i think he there are a lot of reasons why he wanted to appoint lots of judges his base wants conservative judges but i think part of the reason may very well have been as a backstop as a protection in the event that he had to take the election to court any president would think in those terms supporters of trump say he shouldnt have given that press conference on the night saying there is fraud and waited a little bit do you think that will affect any Court Outcome because he was alleging both of a fraud even before the election and of course on the night rather than saying this is the state of play at the moment well wait and see i dont think that kind of statement affects the courts and it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believed and i dont think it will have any impact either electorally or traditionally. We have got with guests with an america can now come together that on the consequence is often fight. With trumps election there were 4 years of accusations that the russians had helped him become elected it was 4 years and i think around 30000000. 00 of taxpayer money was spent investigating those allegations which as we all know have come to nothing now in 2020 we actually have video footage of things like ballots arriving in unmarked events and of people correcting ballots which you were not just allowed to do so theres a lot more evidence of voter fraud than there ever was for in foreign interference in the 26000 election and i hope as to not be totally hypocrites that the people who are all upset about electorate Election Integrity when donald trump was elected have those same concerns right now you know this is nothing new i come from chicago i was a suburban Chicago Police officer but in chicago in cook county from the time that i was a child there was always talk. For our dead people voting and things like that the United States really needs to get a handle on our Voting System and is there for i mean are in this system purely from everything im seeing there are some problems i know the f. B. I. Has to go showing this is going to play out in the courts as a Law Enforcement officer its very frustrating but what im more concerned about is that with day to day safety in our cities and the longer this plays out and the more tense people become the more dangerous it becomes for our citizens the more dangerous it becomes our business and of course the more dangerous it becomes for american Law Enforcement when the left leaning media is talking about unity dest their code for if you disagree with those shut up its not real unity at all all thats going to happen is the people who feel left out or silenced by the media or by College Campuses or whatever those people and their views are going to fester and become more radical theres going to be a lot of unrest on both sides because this is not. Heald country is a divided country that has been actively divided by the democratic and republican parties dead 2 groups have been actively and intentionally isolated so that they dont communicate so they dont try to find compromise they dont try to find concord and instead try to view each other to view anyone who disagrees with them as an absolute enemy what weve seen from the d. N. C. In r. C. Have been behaviors that are corrosive to democracy and corrosive to a Polite Society into a Civil Society so i do believe we are in for several more years of Major Political unrest. The reaction to joe bidens projected victory has gone far beyond the us with a range of World Leaders sending their congratulations to both biden and his running mate come in the harris european politicians were among the 1st to react to the projections show a day bensky told my colleague Southgate Taylor about the comments. He does in europe have been quick to flock to congratulate biden on his victory will start off with vanderlyn who is the European Commission president she offered her warm congratulations to the Biden Harris Team and she talked about the u. S. And the e. U. As being allies and friends Sebastian Kurtz whos the austrian chancellor tweeted about the shared values between the 2 countries. Prime minister talked about the us being able to count on italy is being a solid hour like an evening there was a note from stoltenberg who is the chief of nato saying that he knows that joe biden is a strong supporter of the Organization Also congratulations coming through from the Prime Minister of the u. K. The french president and the german chancellor congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the United States and to come our harris on her historic achievement the u. S. Is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from Climate Change to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and come all of ours we have a lot to do to overcome todays challenges lets Work Together i look forward to future cooperation with President Biden our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master of the great challenges of our time well so much congratulations but lets be clear not everybody is going to be welcoming a biden presidency and one persons perhaps not feeling too great about that right now is a slovenian Prime Minister who earlier this week could actually tweeted that he was congratulating trump for his win hes also talked about biden in the past suggesting that biden as president would be one of the weakest u. S. President s in history but lets not forget he has a personal ties in the game he. Because milan a trump the current 1st lady is of course from slovenia we heard there about reaction from angola michel and so lets take a look how to biden presidency change relations with germany for example well im glad merkel is staunch politician somebody who would work with anyone and weve seen her try to work with trump over the last few years but clearly germany is hoping for easier relations in the next 4 years it wants to perhaps strengthen that transatlantic cooperation between the 2 countries some of the issues that germany is going to be most concerned about is the fact of the trade was that donald trump has famously have these trade rules with the e. U. Over various issues theres also the issue of a nude stream to this gas pipeline coming straight from russia into germany the u. S. Currently has sanctions on companies that are working with that and there are also the bigger issues issues of nato iran all of these germany will be hoping that they will be able to work with an ally we know that obviously over the last couple of years weve seen how john has been pulling out of some International Agreement so the Paris Climate Accords that drew a lot of criticism of the Iran Nuclear Deal how do you think biden coming into the oval office could see things change getting the e. U. All hope that maybe some decisions will be even reversed well we know already that biden has been incredibly clear what he makes of some of these agreements you mentioned that the Paris Climate Accord donald trump famously pulled the u. S. Out of saying he wasnt happy with it that sort of caused a bit of a fraction in the relationship between him and frances president emanuel not corn now biden has been clear that the 1st day of his presidency he would reenter into that agreement one of the things that many of the european leaders the m. P. C. Any piece of been talking about on social media is the fact. Theyre welcoming that the u. S. Would be back it would be their part of the Paris Climate Accord in regards to the Uranium Nuclear deal again not something that trump pulled the u. S. Away from something that was negotiated and the Obama Presidency when of course joe biden was Vice President so there is a hope that joe biden if he is the 46 president of the u. S. Will be somebody who will want to go back to the negotiating table and trying to smooth over those relations but there is a bigger concern here that if biden is the 46. 00 president hes going to have so much on his plate when it comes to domestic issues whether thats the fallout from the election with or thats the 1000 pandemic whether thats the economy that europe may be waiting before those issues are dealt with. Me on 1st and see over the delayed vote count sparked a week of fury from both sides supporters. I. Think it was a test that clashed with police in the wake of a particularly bitter alexion battle however it seems the political stunt is off the 2 candidates may not actually be that far apart will most people on the streets of new yorks name the main difference in the policies of biden and trump. Thank you very much youre very little more of my. Friends on the other hand you dont dream no government experience experience or my own feeling from really has any idea of what policy just like the storm does work so everyone. You know i might have some issues like houses your car let me see has a policy consistent framework for you to go for. Control because. You know that really pleased i am. Pleased. Id sit by and im going to say dog trouble but it could be biden. After 4 years of presidency donald trump its received unprecedent
