Can make the big prize of the night as always is california with 55 Electoral College votes joe biden has got those further north the state of washington with 12 goes to the blue column as well and oregon as well all of these west coast blue states another 7 which we can add to joe bidens tally there and well put in idaho as well which is also closing the south thats a red state that goes to dont trump with 4 so as i said this gives us some shape now because weve now managing to fill in the states which we knew so 209112 right now that looks very strong in favor of joe biden but lets think about this texas 38 florida 29 pennsylvania which we havent talked about for a while will do that in maybe will 10 or 15 minutes well have a little talk about pennsylvania. Not even in the too close to call of the moment but this 20. Heigho a chain North Carolina 16 there are a lot of states and its all the ones which we thought it would come down to of course so whilst that number all just pop out t
A sudden look on the other side of the atlantic and find a friend and a partner and a not i once once again said they would be a sort of. Incredible relief if you like in in europe and in having you know our 1st and foremost partner to work with on a number of issues you know from Foreign Policy to climate to sort of rebuilding a post economy now on the flipside of that there would also be in a sense a sort of temptation of europeans to sort of fall back into their comfort zone and put back into the closet the idea of assuming greater responsibility in Foreign Policy a because of an Ongoing Alliance and in fact dependence on the United States it is a little after i was 600 hours g.

Almost pulled out of the alliance in 2018 before National Security adviser thats on john bolton talked him out of it President Trump has been effective i
But that has not stopped president from from coming out to address his supporters at the white house this has been one of the most divisive and unpredictable u. S. Elections in memory and even though trump initially trailed biden he quickly picked up Electoral College votes theres no clear winner yet we have just learned that arizona is going to joe biden lets cross over to rob reynolds in los angeles in california hes following the returns on the west coast and rob we were speaking 56 minutes ago about the importance of arizona and then moments later the flip happened tell us more. Yes and the important part is one of the important aspects is that this is a flip this is joe biden taking away a state that was won by President Trump in 2016 and its all the more remarkable because arizona has always been one of the most rock ribbed republican states in the union it is the home state of Barry Goldwater who considered the founder of the modern conservative movement although some of the dev
The east coast so its actually no longer election day there isnt its moved on to november the 4th but in other parts of the country and in fact way out in the Pacific Ocean is the state of hawaii with 4 Electoral College votes going to joe biden of course the home state of his old boss barack obama. So were just adding that to the total mostly the total later on right now though i want to talk about North Carolina 15 Electoral College votes still too close to call but when we break down the numbers we start to get a little bit more of the picture. 100 percent reporting i believe its just short of that actually at the moment and donald trump has a 75000. 00 vote difference but once again North Carolina its the story of the night in so many states that rural urban split there is maybe still a little bit of a runway left for joe biden in the urban areas but it would only be a very small amount and remember in this sort of part of the United States when it goes North Carolina you could pos
