Joe biden saying earlier when all of the votes are counted that he will be the next president. After a long night of counting, it is clear that we are winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. I am not here to declare that we have one. But i am here to report when the count is finished, we believe that we will be the winners. Dana as we have been doing, lets check in with bill hemmer at the billboard for the update on the race. Just upstairs, bill. Bill socially distance, right . This is safe, isnt it,s dana . Talking about pennsylvania where the action is, we have made a big call on michigan in the last hour, putting joe biden six electoral votes away from the white house. Will he get there . Does he have enough to get over the finish line, here in pennsylvania, this is where the action is. Philadelphia and the southeast, pittsburgh allocating county in the western part of the state. And with what the Trump Campaign is saying is if they can keep joe biden with in 70 out of sight of the big cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh, they have the chance to keep the red. Lets see how they can do that, down in philadelphia, the votes come in here. Joe biden about 80 of the vote from Hillary Clinton four years ago and underperforming from a percentage basis. All of the votes are not any yet. I talk about the bellwether county, bucks county has been so tight for the past three election cycles. And again, it is pretty tight this year, but donald trump is doing better actually than we have seen in years past. For example, eight years ago, there was mitt romney, four years ago here is where donald trump was. The same county now a lot of votes coming in. And here we are in 2020, this is what gives the trump team hope right now that they can hold onto this. This is where the press conference was and launching a big challenge, thats what is coming our way here. The pop around here, and favorable. Also here in Chester County by about 12point so far. And delaware county, a lot of votes too. 105. And 164,000. We will see whether or not the theory applies to what the team is saying right now. They keep joe biden in the low 70s and outside of philadelphia. Can they win the state. I can take you around. Rural pennsylvania, and i can tell you that joe biden doesnt get anywhere close to the vote margin that he needs in the countryside. The problem is they are not as many votes in rural pennsylvania as you find in philadelphia and pittsburgh. That is the game right now. And that will be the game right now for several days, possibly even weeks if this is contested to that degree. Why did we call michigan . I think that it is very interesting. Heres detroit and grand rapids. This is wayne county. We were watching this thing all night long and waiting and waiting for that vote to come in. But i find it interesting that joe biden at 68 , Hillary Clinton at 69. He is underperforming so far this year. The president did better in that county. This is flint, michigan, genesee county, 50 . And at 55. Outperforming his performance in three years ago. And hope in michigan, as we saw from the decision desk just wanted to be clear. And popping up, i just want to make sure that we are in the same year. And indeed we are, 2020. Thats where we will freeze it. Dana anybody have a question for bill . I just want to say that it is amazing that he is up and doing this. Bill i would not press your buttons, right. Before you brought that line to the wrong show, bill. All right, thanks, bill. Lets stick around the circle. Jesse, lets start with you. And you missed a little bit of action, how do you feel today . Jesse it is a mess. What a perfect ending, 2020, dana, we dont know anything yet. I think that country deserves a lot better than this. We cant count to votes paired we cant tabulate. It is incredibly frustrating and at this point with the margins the way that they are. Whoever wins, joe biden, donald trump, the other side is going to feel like there are shenanigans. And personally this is how i see it. I am going to give joe biden and im going to give michigan and wisconsin, im going to give donald trump georgia and north carolina. I think that there is general agreement around that. But to me it comes down to three states. The constellation is nevada, arizona, and pennsylvania. Donald trump needs to win pennsylvania and either nevada or pennsylvania and arizona. Right now arizona, the Trump Campaign believes that if they continue the account, they will be ahead by friday. Nevada, they believe that if they continue the count, they will be ahead by about 6500 votes. But there is a lot of sketchy stuff in nevada, i would not put a lot of stake in that. Pennsylvania, ahead by 100,000 votes. Right now we heard from Rudy Giuliani that they are counting the votes 125,000 ballots were counted without any poll watchers or representation from the campaign and they are very concerned about what is going on. They believe again that once these returns come in, they have enough votes to maintain the lead in pennsylvania. Pennsylvania and arizona i believe the key for the president as a narrow path. I will admit that more narrowly than joe biden, but doable and confident that that will happen. Dana greg gutfeld, we have not heard from you today and we have been dying to. Greg it is a mess. I guess the upside is that the looters will have to put off their christmas shopping. That is very sad. It is upsetting. We are the most developed nation in the world and we cant count. We have adults that are in charge of counting things and they cant count. Do you think we would have it figured out, but we did not factor in a few other things. I will use an analogy, because i looked at this last night and i thought about it like a thanksgiving turkey. You spend time preparing for the meal and you put it in the oven and you set it and forget it. Six hours, seven hours, thats what it is. I dont expect somebody in the middle of the night to come in and open up and screw the turkey, which is what happened last night. They screwed the turkey. Its all this stuff goes on coming you wake up and something is going on. I thought that was really strange. But i think that everybody in america is tired of being told something that isnt true. We were expected this massive blowout, right . Because trump is so hated and a racist and is going to lose minorities and women, and then he find out, not at all. It is razorthin. There was no blowout. A cnn admits that. He gained to the minorities and in women and to get the seniors in florida after all. So you find out that despite what the media and pollsters were telling you for i dont know, three, four years, america still loves this guy. This was not the outcome we were told. So i think that that is really there is a frustration on the people at home that are watching and going, what a bunch of b. S. We were told. We were told that everybody in america hates this guy. And that he is so awful and evil, and here he is, he could win and there are some we are shenanigans going on, something flew out of my mouth had just now. Lets not forget, you can get mad that trump is fighting for this like anybody would. Remember that hillary has not conceded 2016 and neither has the media. And also, one last point, this is not about network. It is about an election. So the race to be first and getting the greatest ratings, that is awesome, but at what expense . Dana we have a whole show to talk about this. Quick comments and then we will keep going. Last night you said at the ends that you feel like this could go on for a few weeks. Do you still feel that way . Martha we both saw the posture, joe biden coming out and taking a president ial tone. He said his voice and expects that he will be able to hit 270 and then and only then would he claim a victory. And then we see eric trump come out, Rudy Giuliani varied, fired up and yelling about fraud and the stolen election. This is part of the democracy, right . This is part of the process. They have every right to contest the use if there are 130,000 votes that they want to watch, they should open the doors in philadelphia. Let them come in and do the recount so that everybody can feel that there is true transparency. Its not right to say that somebody can win the election and make the stand across the room. People keep saying they are all of these cameras. I cant see anything. I can only see people shuffling papers around and so in the world that we live in where no one trusts anything as greg was saying, i do think that there is just a real gut feeling of unease about the polling, about everything that people get told, i think that a lot of folks need to get out of the way and let the process continue to play out. But thats where i feel with him right now. Dana can we get a quick thought from you . Juan to me there is one side that is acting confident at that moment. And one side reacting with grace, the other side still talking about conspiracy theories and stealing. With regards to the recount, i think that we have had 30 recounts in american history. And the two that resulted in any change, the change was within onetenth of 1 . So that should give you the viewer a sense that joe biden is on a pretty clear track to win the a presidency of the united states. Dana we have key races that have yet to be called and lawsuits that are already forming. One state headed for a recount, the very latest from the trump and Biden Campaign next on the five. [announcer] meet the ninja foodi air fry oven. Make familysized meals fast. And because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. Dana breaking in the last 30 minutes, fox news projecting that joe biden will win the state of michigan, six electoral votes away from the magic number of 270. But there is pennsylvania, nevada, north carolina, and georgia still undecided at the moment. Lets check in with john roberts for the latest on the Trump Campaign. Hi, john. A couple of Conference Calls today. If they said that they have crunched the numbers and done the math. And that things are looking very, very good for President Trump in the state of pennsylvania when that vote tally eventually comes in. The president s Campaign Manager actually made a very bold pronouncement on the conference call. Listen here. We are experiencing a victory in pennsylvania. This is not based on god or feel. This is based on math. We feel very, very positive. That the Vice President will deliver a victory in pennsylvania. Again, we have a high degree of certainty that the margin want to be close. To the grand canyon state arizona, which as you know has been called by fox news and the Associated Press the Trump Campaign insists that there are still the outstanding votes in that state for donald trump to pull off a win. They say that they are hundred 5,000 outstanding ballots. Many of which were cast on the day of, which would likely mean that those people are Trump Supporters. The president has been doing very well in arizona with day of voting, and the Senior Campaign advisor says that the president would need to win slightly under 58 percent of those in order to take the grand canyon state, which would be to perform to a lesser degree than he has been with ballots that have already been counted. We believe that over the next couple of days as the ballots come in and are counted in the state of arizona, that we could be looking at potentially as soon friday President Trump being declared the winner or it being clear that he has enough votes to formally say with that he will win the state of arizo arizona. Lawsuit underway in michigan, pennsylvania to halt the vote and give the Trump Campaign observers a closer look at what is going on with the ballots and to the Trump Campaign saying it would intervene in a closer case to the Supreme Court which would invalidate pennsylvanias threeday expansion which would mean, martha, that any boats that came in via mail after 8 00 p. M. On Election Night would be thrown out. Dana lets check in with peter doocy on the Biden Campaign. They still have the set up for what they thought would be a victory speech behind us. No one has touched it. But when they wanted to talk, and appearing indoors after this. I am very proud of our campaign. And three campaigns in the past have impeded the president. When it is finished, god willing, we will be the fourth. So maybe not definitively want to declare that it is over, but there are senior people on a campaign that are saying exactly that. They want to push it up, push something up to the Supreme Court one way or another, presumably they can do that. We are not worried about it. We are winning the election, we have won the election. We dont have to do any of anything but protect to the rights of voters, coming days after they were asked how they might react, declaring victory before they got to 270. And thats not how it works. They are ready to go to court for weeks if necessary, but hiring democratic lawyers across the county, they are emailing donors about the new effort. The Biden Fight Fund will Fund Election protection efforts for joe biden and democrats up and down the ballot. They are almost never in the same place at the same time, they were both here today. She did not say anything, neither one took questions and we dont know when we will see biden again. He is back home here in wilmington about 15 minutes aw away. Dana thank you very much, take it the horn. And to john roberts and peter doocy. I want to get your take on why Kamala Harris has been so far in the background during so much of this. Juan very quickly on Kamala Harris, i think it is clear that this is a moment for the principles to speak last night. What time was that martha 2 30. Juan you can see them afterwards doing a little cleanup, saying, we believe in the process and the like. He had a secondary role, and Kamala Harris, secondary role today. I think the key thing that i take away from so much of this is that to the Trump Campaign wants to stop counting in pennsylvania because i guess they think that they are losing, and they want to keep counting in arizona because they think they are losing. But it is a contradictory impulse and i think that it reveals something about a strategy that is getting to be a little desperate in this moment. The other thing that i would say that is so important to me is that if you look, we were watching bill hemmer earlier and he was talking about various areas of pennsylvania, but if you look at the map right now and you look at biden in arizona, michigan, wisconsin, he does not even need pennsylvania to claim the presidency of the united states. So to me this is all on moments when you have to just kind of i think go back to what you heard from Vice President biden today which is you know what, this is a democracy. Lets celebrate and hold hands and go forward. Lets stop with the divisive nature of picking on each other and calling names. It is never going to stop. Jesse only one thing i want to challenge him on part of the Trump Campaign did not say they want to stop the count in pennsylvania. They want to stop the count in pennsylvania until we can get the poll watchers in there to observe them being counted. There is a big difference. The one thing that i think that the Trump Supporters should listen to and have a little confidence is this. What we are hearing from the Trump Campaign is based on that and data and is based on their internal polling, which so far has been very accurate. They said that they were going to win florida by about 2 and they would be dead even in the battleground. And they have been. So when they say for instance in arizona that the outstanding vote of 650,000, many of them are coming from sameday voters which trump was winning by 6070 . And they only need to do 58 and they will take the lead in arizona by friday. That is good. Because they cant just have arizona. They have to have pennsylvania. Right now they are ahead 400,000 in pennsylvania and their map says that if they continue to count the legally cast votes, they will maintain that lead. But just for a second if there was a republican county being over sought by a republican guy, republican mayor, republican governor where the republican secretary of state that had been litigating the democrats all year long about what to do and what not to do, and they were kicking observers out of the places that they were counting, 150,000 provisional ballots for a whole day almost . Was it 12 hours . This would be such an outrageo outrageous, undemocratic things to happen in the country. In philadelphia. The city city of brother love. Juan there is no evidence of fraud. Jesse you dont know that, because there are no poll watchers. Juan i know that this guy is not going to blow up. To speak legally you can watch the ballots being counted. You know that and i know that. Martha they can watch every single vote that comes in in arizona and see where it ends up. A dana one thing, the indecision on the president ial level has masked what was a big failure that we will get to talk about in a little bit on the democrats side for the senate, house races, things like that. And even Ballot Initiative across the country that really went conservative. Greg i think that he basically has won georgia even though Stacey Abrams is saying not so fast. I would like and i will hold handhands and go board if joe bn wins. But you have to remember that these are the same people that for four years were pushing russia collusion with no evidence. Remember the dossier, so when you want to play nice because you are winning, we understand that. But when you lost, oh, boy, did you lose
