You as the enemy . Do you think joe biden sees you that way . Rep. Ocasiocortez i do not believe joe biden sees me that way. And i think that is one of the reasons he won election. There is a marked difference between 2020 and 2016 in how the Democratic Party was able to unify, to joe bidens credit, before the election and get everyone on the same page to make sure we vote donald trump out of office. That being said, there are, at least in the house caucus, very deep divisions within the party, and i believe that we need to really come together and not allow republican narratives to tear us apart. As you mentioned, we have a slimmer democratic majority. It is going to be more important than ever for us to Work Together and not fight each other. And so, when we kind of come out swinging not 48 hours after tuesday, when we do not even have solid data yet, pointing fingers and telling each other what to do, it deepens the division in the party and it is irresponsible.

Watch the washington journal 7 00 eastern. Join with your phone calls, texts, and tweets. Host we are joined by scott long with the hill newspaper, covering congress for quite some time. You have a lameduck session coming in here shortly in the u. S. But before we get to the next congress, tell us what the next few weeks or month looks like on the u. S. House side in particular. Guest the house of representatives will come back to washington after this historic election to hold their leadership elections. It looks like democrats are moving forward with their leadership elections next week. That favors nancy pelosi. The quicker the election, the less time there is for their to build any momentum in opposition against her. Nowe is some chatter right from moderates who are just crumpled about the number of seats that have been lost by democrats in a very surprising fashion. At least seven vulnerable democrats in the house went down to defeat. That has caused some andternation in the party
Advisory board and advocated for all americans to wear a mask. This runs 10 minutes. Pres. Elect biden good afternoon, everyone. As i said on saturday, i am humbled by the trust and confidence the American People have placed in me and Vice President elect harris. We are ready to get to work addressing the needs of the American People. Today, we start that process to get covid19 under control so we can reopen our businesses safely and sustainably, resume our lives, and put the pandemic behind us. We just received positive news that there has been progress made toward successful vaccine. The process must also be grounded in science so the American People can have every confidence that any vaccine is safe and effective. At the same time, its clear that this vaccine, even if approved, will not be widely available for many months. The challenge before us right now is still immense and growing and although we are not in office yet, i am laying out what we expect to do and hope can be done. T
And so everyone in the correspondence, there is chatter about the soviet union. I dont remember the quote, a great quote about how at this point in the trial all the countries are working to gather, it has fallen apart. The Wartime Alliance during the nuremberg, comes under strain. The cold war flows into the court room. Really significant in terms of understanding the rhythm of the trial, what happens at the end of the trial. It is also critical for understanding for what happens. And that is great. It was. It is important to understand too this was all happening in the cold war context and to understand political origins and humanitarian origins this new language of human rights, that is one thing we look at. I would like to turn the program mac to maddie, thank you. From niccolo. Could you tell us why the allies, the military, what are the consequences of the decision. Part of why they decide to establish military tribunal. They dont have to follow all the rules of regular double tr

So we have a terrific panel this morning to discuss not so much the election but looking forward to next year to see what the implications are for u. S. Foreign policy, for international order, and to talk to parse maybe some of the nuances of last week and what they may me
