Issues that are before him to to the base and really i think most importantly is expanding the map and when we look at this map the fact that we are having a conversation about georgia a state that has not gone through since 99 and 2 means that the lesson here is that all of the states matter and that we had to have a ground that is looking at states that have otherwise been just written off and that entire map is our map in this country and i think that that is going to be one of the most important lessons is that when you organize and that we focus on a strategy that lead to 5 that that we actually. To take found and see if the full cycle strategies many thanks for speaking to us not just their. Youre watching out as a reminder of where we stand with the u. S. Election and the race for the white house remains too close to call with the outcome resting on just a few battleground states the democratic candidate joe biden has taken the lead in pennsylvania georgia and nevada donald trump has made some gains in arizona but so far not enough. And supporters have been celebrating in philadelphia anticipating and eventually victory winning the state of pennsylvania with 20 Electoral College votes would push biden beyond the required 270 required to take him to the white house. Trumps define Campaign Team is trying to raise 60000000. 00 to fund lawsuits challenging the results president is continuing to make on substantiated claims about what boat affords costing doubts over the integrity of the election. Another race were keeping a close eye on is the senate the upper house of Congress Control of this chamber a lot hangs in the balance now right now the republicans on the democrats are deadlocked with 48 seats each 51. 00 a needed for majority the race for a seat in georgia is already set for a runoff in january and 3 others in georgia North Carolina and alaska remain undecided President Trump has prematurely declared victory multiple times since election day while also alleging votes of fraud his latest comments on thursday night have driven a number of republicans to distance themselves from their partys candidate a start with jeff flake former republican senator for arizona he called on republicans to defend the us elections and Democratic Institutions saying no republican should be ok with the president s statements. Weve also heard from marylands republican governor laurie hogan he joined the condemnation of the president s comments saying in a tweet there was no defense for the president s comments tonight undermining our democratic process america is counting the votes and we must respect the results as always we as we always have the full no election a person is more important than our democracy. Finally leading republican Lindsey Graham has been standing by the president democracy depends upon parallel actions President Trumps teen is going to have a chance to make a case regarding. Voting irregularities they deserve a chance to make their case and will stand with pros to trump your democrat were doing this it be cheered on. Lets check again with our correspondents covering the 2 candidates we got mike hanna in joe bidens home state shortly for us lets go to Kelly Holcomb in washington so while some republicans have been distancing themselves from still has the support of a lot of his party. Yeah theres no question that there are a number of prominent d advocates of the president to have been vocal in his support including representative jim jordan for example that weve seen in a number for rational hearings still saying that the president has right to pursue his legal avenues this is something that hes also had backed out by the republicans in the top u. S. Senate position Mitch Mcconnell who is saying that the president has a right to have every vote counted at but he stopped short of sort of condemning outright some of the president s statements what were seeing here are republicans trying to have calculate their own political futures in contrast to what the president s lead that we have reported on the bow paraded and when it comes to republicans they actually did some better than expected that the house of representatives the socalled blue wave of democrats that were supposed to take over the house of representatives never materialized in fact just the opposite republicans picked up a few seats and also in the senate out of now although this could change republicans have control still out the u. S. Senate but some runoff elections in the u. S. State of georgia could change that so this is why we see republicans choosing their words very carefully when it comes to Donald Trumps battle and legal efforts to continue to try and win a 2nd term theyre calculating their own political future as well at times theyve been very keen to ride the coattails of the president theyre also now in some cases distancing themselves knowing that they need to have a political future beyond Donald Trumps time in the White House Committee for now many thanks kimberly speaking to us that from washington we counted to mike hanna who is in bidens home state of delaware so mike to talk about took us through the mood from the biden camp today. Well one can sum it up quietly confident as it has been for the past 24 Hours Campaign workers making very clear the belief that joe biden is on the path to victory theyve been crunching the numbers and they are absolutely certain that he will win the selection but nobody is saying that publicly at this particular point to joe biden himself saying that hes confident of victory once all the votes have been counted but does not want to get ahead of himself or indeed ahead of the voter hes waiting for those votes to be counted no premature claiming of victory at this particular stage we understand too that he was due to be speaking here in the course of the evening this may be wait until the result is called until all the projections are made that boards ensure that he gets a presidency so well have more details about that as the evening wears on but very much a sense of confidence but biden setting that tone hes been calling for patience hes been calling for calm and hes been calling very importantly for unity this is a key issue for biden you know were focused on the throughout his campaign and do during these past 48 tumultuous ours has been reiterate the fact that its time for the country to get together that 4 years of division have driven so many people apart and as he said in his comments just 24 hours ago theres more that brings americans together then tears them apart so this is what we are likely to hear from him but as i said nobody in the campaign and certainly not biden himself is going to play in a premature victory and tool the votes are counted my count there for us in wellington many thanks. Well lets take a closer look at trumps legal efforts his campaign has so far filed suits in georgia michigan pennsylvania and nevada states where hes either lost or faces an extremely close race various suits in those states include allegations of late and invalid votes being tabulated and campaign observers being denied adequate access to the counting trump has failed to score any significant legal victory so far 2 cases in michigan and georgia have already been dismissed for lack of evidence none of the complaints provided examples of trumps massive voter ford claims but as weve reported hes promised to take his case all the way to the Supreme Court lets get more on this we can talk to jeff hauser hes a lawyer and executive director of the revolving door project at the center for economic and policy research joining us from washington d. C. Many thanks for speaking to us and aljazeera jeff so as as ive been outlining there the president still very much pushing these legal challenges in various states but the problem seems to be he doesnt have any any concrete evidence none that hes been able to provide. No i mean its you know thats evidence that the rule of law it may not be the sturdiest its ever been in American History but its definitely not down to nothing donald trump it can not create a legal arguments out of thin air even with republican judges around the country and you know i think some of us in our more cynical moments would have feared that any argument made by this republican president would be upheld by judges but actually right now the role of watt is standing pretty strong and donald trump is losing every which way its very reassuring dont do any if the cases have any legs. That he is challenging no and i think its a testament to the hard work of a lot of lawyers working in Civil Society groups and its the with the Democratic Party to address as many issues as possible or need dance of the election and get the situation and squared away in advance of the election such that there wouldnt be a lot of uncertainty after the fact we would create a known system in place everyone would understand the walls they would go by them and that to in order to prevent the possibility of significant with a geisha occurring after the fact i mean the favorite and alice ive seen lawsuits are that the only thing that separates a donald trump election lawsuit and a tweet is that you have to pay a filing fee to get into court with a lawsuit and otherwise its just a tweet with a filing date and i think thats right i mean these cases are risible so what do you think the strategy is then here. This strategy is to promote perpetually play the victim donald trump is the strongest it here and grievance in victim politics ive ever served in my lifetime at all points this man who you know grew up rich men has had every advantage in life has always been complaining about the things he doesnt have me complaining that he doesnt have them because hes a big he want to be able to claim hes a victim of something he wants to just stay in the white house so that people will give him Something Like a part in the short run to avoid criminal liability and in the long run he wants this sort of shared grievance with his followers to give him power even as he is out of office. In terms of the Bigger Picture what effect do you think these claims have face to ford and so on which many of his supporters but name what effect will it have on the democratic process do you think it will have an impact on future lections i you know the glass house whole case is that whats going on now shows that the system can hold and judges can do the right thing and ignore fabricated partisan arguments the glass half empty is that you have a universe credulous voters who are want to believe conspiracy theories are being further radicalize by the president and social media and which is more predictive of how our democracy is going to work Going Forward i dont have a strong opinion im worried enough that its i think glass half empty as possible but i am mildly courage by courts doing the right thing thats the far. But were hearing today that the trump team is raising money to push forward many more legal challenges the question is how long kenny this process out because at the end of the day we want to see a result in terms of the stability of the country and so on i mean how long can he go on doing this i mean i think he can go on quite a while in the sense of he himself were using to concede i mean i think its quite likely the man could whip the 90 and not concede that he has ever been defeated in this election i think he can pay warriors or boyers who are seeking attention could be going to court for the next couple months for sure i think the patience of the Republican Party which is overall id rather satisfied unfortunate from my perspective with the election result i think their patience is going to diminish and i think the media is eagerness to call this thing what what it is which is over is going to you know the change in the next 24 to 48 hours or so i think its going to end war with a whimper or then a bang i dont think were going to see if it is. In session i think were just going to see people take him less and less seriously many thanks for your thoughts jeff a lawyer and executive director of the revolving door project at the center for economic and policy with such.
