Neither still in reach of the 270 needed to secure the presidency. All right. Steve smith, you just popped in next to me. I didnt see you. A campaign veteran, how will, how will democrats assuming Hillary Clinton loses here, where will the finger pointing be . Well, you know, you dont know where to begin. I mean first off, you will have the Democratic Party out of power with all three, you know, allhr congress, very weak bench. A massive repudiation personally of secretary clinton by the lek tort. It will have been a close election. For republicans will have 100 of the political power here. And right away, theyre going to have the votes to repeal and replace obamacare to dismantle dodd frank. And i think youre going to see really fast action. Yes, he is going to speak. We understand that this is not going to be a final statement. The friends, the donors, the supporters have all reassembled. The other people here, the large crowd has been here. The music came back up. And here heres the announcement f j [ applause ] thank you. Well folks, i know youve been here a long time. And its been a long night. And its been a long campaign. But i can say we can wait a theyre still counting votes and every vote should count. Several states are too close to call. So were not going to have anything more to say tonight. [ applause ] so listen, listen to me, everybody should head home, we should get some sleep, well have more to say tomorrow. I want you to know, i want every person across the country whos supporting hillary to know that your voices and your enthusiasm means so much to her and to tim and to all of us. We are so proud of you. And we are so proud of her. [ applause ] is not done yet. So thank you for being with her. She has always been with you. I have to say this tonight, good night, we will be back, well have more to say. Lets get those votes counted and lets bring this home. Thank you so much for all of you have done. You are in all of our hearts. Thank you. [ applause ] campaign c podesta addressing the crowd gathered at the Jacob Javitz Center on behalf of Hillary Clinton saying every vote should count, we can wait a little longer and telling the crowd go home. Its not going to happen tonight. There will be no speeches tonight. Andrea mitchell, did you see that coming . Reporter well, what i was suggesting to you just a bit ago was that Hillary Clinton saw what happened with al gore and especially given her verbal indictment going all the way back, but certainly in that san diego Foreign Policy speech last summer, the fact is, she has said she is not qualified to be commander in chief. That he is not qualified to hand the nuclear codes. He is not qualified to run our military. It would be very difficult for her to concede until every vote is counted. That said, this contradicts everything she had said as being gracious and listening to the voters, but theyre basically saying that there are some states that are still, they think, within the recount range. And they want to use every legal procedure that they can and theyre going to fight on. At least legally, as long as they can. As long as they have any argument. This is an extraordinarily role reversal sflp yeah, and let me ask around the table here. Doesnt play by the rules. So whats the betting that he comes out . I think he comes out. By the way, if i were him, i would. Hes leading in pennsylvania, leading in michigan, and leading wisconsin, he only has to win. He can win both wisconsin and michigan, donte, our data guy, hes running out of hes run out of a path for her to carry michigan. And it looked like it was, but theres wayne county didnt turn out. Does he come out and declare victory . I hope not. Look, theres a choreography to this, in our system, and i was critical of donald trump earlier in the campaign, but now the burden will likely fall on secretary clinton here to commence the process where we transfer power peacefully this in this country. And that begins with a concession phone call. And the first person who will address donald trump in the next hours is mr. President elect who and i think the choreography. And into the next afternoon and elections and this will probably be one of them. We dont know if any phone call transpired. Clearly not yet. Yeah. And most people seem to be heading for the exit, but there are long, sad faces here because even though john podesta is dlaekt its not should count, clearly the folks have been watching what weve all been watching here and that path to victory all but closed. Look, there is if we were talking about one state where they they needed to find a counting error or missing that or precinct here, she needs it in three states. Just imagine if trump were refusing to concede under these it has happened, again, she is trying to do something weve never seen which is find that missing whatever it is. That in three states where shes down essentially anywhere from a half percentage point. At the end of the night, she could still win the popular vote which gets the debate that comes up every four years or so, why do we do this Electoral College thing . These are the rules you to these rules. Exactly. But it comes up. Just try amending the constitution. You think a president ial election that lets go to the trump headquarters, are they away of what john podest adjust gsd. The crowd is aware. I have reached out to the tell his crowd to go home and not make a decision tonight for the Clinton Campaign. I still have not heard back. What i have heard going on is conversations about whether donald trump should come out and decide whether hes going to declare himself a winner or wait it out until they get to 270. At least wait for one news network to officially call him the winner and the president elect. Yo me. They are yelling call it, call it. Obviously people are getting quite tired. Its 2 00 a. M. In the morning and many of them have been here for hours. The doors opened here at 3 00 p. M. These are folks who have been waiting to see donald trump win the presidency. They want to see it happen as quickly as they can. We do know he does want to come out. He has been preparing his remarks. As of now, the last we heard, he is still waiting for 270. Thanks. Chuck . 2004 john kerry did not concede the night of. And you guys did not declare victory. You made the decision well give kerry, if he wants a day, give him a day. Give him time. The psychological impact of this is not only all of us but certainly everyone on the Clinton Campaign went into the Peninsula Hotel today believing that she would be the president elect of the United States. Giving your opponent some time to get used to the new reality is an okay thing to do. Lets make it official the senate. Alaska holds on. This is want a surprise. Puts a fine point on the night. It is a republican night and everything turns out the way i think we anticipate that it will, stays in republican hands, the house we know and it looks like donald trump will be president elect the. This is already a more powerful con congressional majority than george w. Bush. In fact, basically 50 50 senate when he came into office in 2000. Hes got, if he wants to hes got the ability to do it. Were all i think everybody is trying to figure out how is that going to work . They have an r by their name. Let me quickly make another projection. It is the state of alaska. Nbc news predicts that donald trump will win the state of right now in alaska. As we come down and look at that race to 270 it inches trump closer but not quite there. Look at that map. A sea of red with illinois kind of breaking it up there in the middle. Lester, arizona, 11, leads in pennsylvania, leads in michigan, he leads in sc New Hampshire. Any combination of his encounter leads i believe does it. Kevin tibbles is in michigan. He can count some of those votes or the people around him. Reporter well, you know, lester, this has been such an initial roller coaster ride evening here in grand rapids. From talking to the several hundred people that were here earlier, obviously the crowd has thinned out as has across the country, but the people here are just sort of flabbergasted by what has taken place with regards to this election this evening. I spoke to some people who said when they had their first sort of trump organizational meeting, you know, you could have held it in a phone booth here in grand rapids and last night, mr. Trump had more than 4,000 people in the local Convention Center here after midnight. So things have really changed here. I can honestly say, and im looking across the room, that people are very surprised. Im getting a nod that it has gone down this way. But at the end of the day, i think that people here are cubs last week to be honest with you. How many innings is this thing going to go tonight, lester . And in the same week we saw the end of day late saving time. None of us is going to get enough sleep right now at least on this end. Savannah, the morning papers are probably being produced even as we speak. Well hear a lot of talk about brexit and drawing the comparison. Well, on a couple of levels. Complete rejection of conventional wisdom and what the establishment thought should happen. This is the voters of the great brit an deciding to pull out of the european union. That was a political earthquake. Then also many people felt that the polls got it wrong. I think if you look a little more deeply into that it might have been the analysis of the polls that was an error. So we have a lot in common in the sense that if this election turns out tonight as we are the establishment, polls that arent getting it right, media conventional wisdom being rejected, its all there if you want to make those connections. Donald trump has been making that connection himself actually quite a bit. Saying we got a brexit situation. Hes been using it as something of a shorthand, a way of saying this is a moment that all the people are supposed to know everything. Soon its going to be turned brexit hasnt played out yet but people can look over there and say well, there was this immediate regret that people felt. You see the financial markets. We already are seeing some of that happening. The dow future is crashing and youre seeing some of the overseas stock markets that are already open dropping significantly. But then theres also as the months go on you start to see that life goes on. The world didnt end. Yeah. I find it fascinating we talk about rejection of the establishesment. In every state even the makeup of these states, theyre slightly different. It is very rural urban. Its like she did look at texas. She actually did it better than texas because she did well in urban areas. But its the rural vote that came out. It is every state essentially shows the those that feel as if they were feeling left behind or whatever the big city is in that state, they voted clinton and rurals of that state said no. Senators get returned to office, blur and blunt to name a couple. Were going to take a break f. Youve been flipping by, just to be clear, the party essentially ended at the what was the viewing party for the clinton folks, came out and said we want all the votes to be counted but were not going to do anything tonight. Were still waiting on a couple of states too close to call. Well update you after a short break. Is is just something that i have. Im not contagious. See me to know that. I wont stop until i find what works. Discover cosentyx, soriasis. Proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75 skin clearance at 3 months. While the majority saw 90 clearance. Do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. Before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. Such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. Or worsen. Serious allergic reactions may occur. See me. See me. See me. On my way. Find clear skin. And a clearer path forward. For a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. Im going to share a photo of my eggo waffle when it pops up. Thats so interesting honey because im going to share a photo of my eggo waffle when it pops up. Leggo my eggo leggo my eggo answering machine hey leave a message. Hi, i know youre there, cause i can see you. Anncr some things are too delicious to share. Golden crispy, warm and fluffy eggo waffles. It 2 20 in the morning eastern time. Watching the cameras in the trump headquarters trying to figure out if were going to hear from anybody in the campaign. Hillary clintons folks have left their viewing party. Not certainly throwing in the towel because this isnt over, but well keep an eye on whats happen tlg at the trump headquarters. Why we do that let me go back over to chuck todd. Tell us what theyre looking at. I can tell you what were looking. Number one, we dont know what the total absentee vote is in milwaukee. Then we will know what the absentee vote is and well figure it out. Then a few precincts. An and thats why we havent called those. Move over to michigan and explain where we are there. Still some vote out in detroit. In wayne county, when all of the precincts are counted in detroit, then they tell us what the absentee vote it. We dont know what that number is and our guys want to know what the number is until they feel comfortable making a lead there. Let me take us over to pennsylvania. There it is. Here in pennsylvania, again, between provisional ballots and the extraneous ones that are around, and some provisional ballots, our folks dont think well be able to call pennsylvania tonight. Thats available. We know a few other news organizes have. Our guys dont want to do it considering how many provisionals or out there. Can he win without he can win with any pairing, any combination. He can win with just pennsylvania and arizona. Hes 22 short. So both wisconsin and michigan i think wisconsin looks of all these i think the biggest reach for clinton is wisconsin. Well throw ten in there. Thats 258. Michigan would put him over or pennsylvania. So look, we are ill get to the what if in a minute and make sure its all working well. Shes got to win all of them. O this point. Pennsylvania puts him there. He just needs that. Arizona would put him over the top. He could lose both wisconsin and michigan. Or lets do. Give her both of those. Then he could win michigan and wisconsin. Talk about all those paths she had. Donald trump has them all now. Hes the one with all the paths. But the fact is those combinations are still possible. The clinton folks have gone home. And the question is now, what will donald trump do . It would almost seem in character that he would want to come out now. I have to say, look, when they decided not to declare victory that night with john kerry, we were talking about one state. We are talking about three states here. They basically, they need a miracle in two of those three ballots that are missing or provisional ballots from or a bigger absentee vote that was expected. Obviously, you wait. But i can see why the trump people are irritated. Hillary clinton had talked so much about healing in her final remarks. As andrea pointed out, if she had to concede, you almost wonder what can she say in a healing way given the way she has positioned herself against shes laid out the homework assignment pretty well because shes been telling him what is required, what our democracy is required when theres a peaceful transfer of power. Shes going to have to fine the words if she finds herself in that situation, to put the country first, to say this man is our president. There is a script to follow. But i mean, these are not speeches to give. Not to interrupt, Spokes Person for the Republican Party says donald trump is about to take the stage at the hilton. Lets go to katie then. Katie are you hearing the same thing that were about to see donald trump on stage . Yeah, i am. Donald trump is in the building and there is a bit of a frenzied atmosphere. Lineup a couple minutes ago. Now secret service are on either side of Donald Trumps podium. We are expecting him to come out. It is unclear at this point what donald trump will say. Will he declare victory . Will he chastise Hillary Clinton for not conceding . Will he chastise the News Organizations for not calling it . This crowd has gotten quite rowdy. It has turned on the press. You hear them yelling at times behind me, yelling at fox news which is standing right next to me to call this race and wondering why they are not doing it. Of course fox news is on the monitors here at headquarters. It is late. Many of these folks have been drinking. There are bars here. They want to see their candidate come out and they want to hear what he has to say. And what donald trump has to say frankly is anybodys guess. Campaign trail for this last 17, 18 month, you never predict what donald trump is going to do. I think you appreciate the restlessness of folks. They have seen this thing turn around in ways that not even members of the campaign could acknowledge. Look, the right thing the right way to handle this if youre donald trump and you think youre going to be president of the United States is to go out there. You thank everybody. Its close. We dont want to assume anything. The winner soon. Something like that. Can he restrain himself . Call for a moment of grace. Thats right. This is his first president ial moment. How he handles this will be an interesting test. I remember having a conversation with him in New Hampshire at the beginning of all this. He had said something that raised eyebrows. I remember asking the question that at some point will you switch into a president ial mode . I said its hard for people to think of you saying what you seal in front of you. He acknowledged theres a certain amount of showmanship and he in fact would. Weve seen moments along the campaign where he has but then he reverts back to the primary donald trump. Youre right. He says i know how to be president ial. Theres just no question. Hes treated this as a steel cage death match from the first hour that he descended the escalate level of restraint . This could be that moment. Look, hes going to have hes got a very divided country on his hands. Hes going to have it the same way, no matter which one of these candidates won tonight, they had a divided country. Hes got one thats going to feel more divided by race than perhaps there was an expectation. So look, he, again, he has got million people, not the 122 that voted. One of the interviews we saw earlier down in the plaza was with someone who said this is youve got to remember this is in many ways more about Hillary Clinton than it was donald trump. The vote against i hear you. Im not fully convinced of that. There was a lot of hate, you know, generated you dont think that would theres no doubt. But these folks were gravitated towards trump. If this were always antihillary, i think he would have done better in the suburbs. This was different. This is rural america. This is them saying you know what, stop trying to leave us behind. It was like in some way it almost is beyond any one candidate. Its like who most effectively sends the message that weve had by the way, what is enough . Youve got to define that. Its just a massive re katie, seeing any further movement. We are seeing a number of his staff from his campaign and governor pences campaign. We really could be waiting any minute now for donald trump to take the stage. Just to reflect a little bit on how he has gotten here, the around donald trump, i think its worth noting that he still hasnt addressed the conflict of interest between himself and his business. He said that he would hand it over to his kids and give it to them in a blind trust, but thats not quite how a blind trust work, especially since many of his holdings are so public and its very clear to find out what would be going on with them. Theres also an open investigation that donald trump having to do with his university. There are also questions surrounding his conduct with women. Women alleging that he has groped them. He has gotten this far by defying political norm, by defying the system, by breaking the rules. By doing. Thats what his supporters have liked about him. Now, the question is, he has made some very big them. Hes promised that he is going to build a wall. Hes promised that he would immediately end obamacare. He promised that he would tear up the iran deal, get rid of the epa. These are difficult things to get done alone. But donald trump could potentially and does actually have a Republicancontrolled Senate and a republicancontrolled house if he were to win. That certainly would help him. As much as he energized his own supporters, he revolted millions of americans and we saw this from city to city especially in the urban areas, especially the areas that were closer to the border with mexico. Large crowds of people that would come out and protest defiantly reviewing to accept donald trump as a legitimate candidate and getting into confrontations with his supporters. City in this country in the lead up to Donald Trumps nomination for the Republican Party. That died down a little bit after he won the nomination and after it seemed that many folks who supported Hillary Clinton just didnt see the prospect of donald trump actually winning to be plausible. I wonder what happens tomorrow if donald trump does, in fact, get to 270, what sort of enfranchised by donald trump or targeted, excuse me, by donald trump, what sort of reaction will they have tomorrow . There is so many ways this could fall. Think of all the republicans running for senate who distanced themselves from him. Those who publicly were part of the stop trump movement. You know, theres a saying about payback and how much will they see . I think one of the things first candidate voiced to win who defeated two parties. So he defeated the Democratic Party tonight but also the Republican Party, the establishment of it. It lays in ruins. This is the party of Ronald Reagan and both president bushes. Its something new and different. As katie said, that campaign has functioned far outside the normally boundaries of whats said, whats done, whats talked he is going to have the rational to give the victory speech. There is one News Organization that has call the president. That is call he may be looking for is one major news organize to do it. One has. And we are guided by our decision desk and theyre not there. By the way, i stick by our guys. Weve been, you know, after going through the ringer in 2000, we are very right, we can wait until we see how this plays out. No reason why you dont count the votes. Clearly there is a high sense of expect expectation. They have seen the reports that we all had and the confidence in the Clinton Campaign. Poll numbers that had her have watched here seven or eight hours weve been out here watching that wall crumble apart in a reversal of fortune. It is clinton who has been left with a singular path, if you will, to the 270 and right now we watch and wait. We look at the numbers. Keep seeing these are the states that are all too close to call. Clinton holding on to a slight theres Wisconsin Trump ahead. Trump didnt plan a bash for tonight. In fact, his aides were saying he didnt want to have a big party because he didnt want to jinx it. Meanwhile the Javits Center is a huge Convention Center. Their transition was in full gear. I mean, there was coordination beginning with the white house first. They were measuring the drinks. Theres been certainly discussion about what a trump cabinet would look like. Could be in charge at least nominally. He has not been as much of a factor and a force as he was as early on. Part of it is the bridgegate trial, his two with it. Theyre about to serve time they thought sos that was the reason why he had been sort of staying away. Nicole wallace is back with us. You had a little insight into what a trump cabinet might look look. I think governor christie, full view of the public for the very reason of what were seeing tonight. The outcome is uncertain. That work sort of goes on in private. Chris christie and his staff had vetted cabinet members. There was a list. I think we just didnt ask a lot of questions because we trusted what we were seeing in the polls. And didnt think wed be talking about a trump cabinet. But all that work that goes on on both sides has gone on on the trump side. Camera continuing to pan the crowd there. All eyes on the tv monitors a the stage. Folks waiting and hoping for a call. Certainly waiting to see their candidate donald trump who will have a lot to say when he comes out here. Because though he had predicted victory, most of the polls largely pointed against that happening. This will be a stunning upset if it in fact how it all plays out. Continue to watch those states close to call. Katie, what are they seeing on the screen . What are they hearing . Theyre watching fox news and they are waiting just like everybody else here. You can see theres a woman right there who is even yawning. Many of these people have been here since 3 00 this afternoon. From what weve seen around the country is that donald Trump Supporters will wait hours on end for him to come on the balcony, people shaking hands. Were seeing members of Donald Trumps staff down by the buffer area where the stage is. Also the whole crew has been pacing back and forth unclear at this point whether he will come in from the left side or the right side. Although we do believe it will probably be from the left side. This is all extraordinarily preliminary at this point because donald trump didnt want to have these conversations behind the scenes with his staff because he was very he didnt want to jinx his chances. Staff members told me that he would tell the story of 2012 having a conversation with mitt romney and romney saying he was too busy to talk because he was dealing with the donald trump reacting by what do you mean transition, you havent won the election yet. Who knows if he had that conversation, but that is the story that his campaign had relayed to me. His campaign was behind the scenes i had conversations with folks were telling me i dont know, what have you heard about me, what do you think i should do, i think id like to do this, that, or the other, but campaign and even one in the National Security realm, nbc news heard, was that general mike flynn. We got that from a few different sources. Also Newt Gingrich for secretary of state. Rudy juliana for attorney general. These are names that we are very familiar with at this point because they travel with donald trump and theyve been so who knows if they will be ultimately on this whittled down list. But what i can tell you is that donald trump does like loyalty above anything else and these men have been very loyal to donald trump through the thick and thin of this campaign, through the roller coaster right even any other republicans were their endorsement, then coming back around. At some point even Newt Gingrich chastised donald trump for his responses or behavior. Ryan frebis would go quiet at point. We just heard a huge cheer from the crowd. Theyre reacting to what theyre seeing on fox news. Essentially, though, what happens next with the unknown, guys. Thats going to be the big question that dominates the news cycle for the next three months. All right. Were watching celebration at trump headquarters. Theyre not reacting to anything that we have reported. Lets go to nbcs Kelly Odonnell. Kelly. Sources tell me that Hillary Clinton has telephoned donald it is now president elect donald trump the phone called was placed just a short time ago where the former secretary of state has conceded the general election to donald trump. Who has never held Elective Office and is now president elect. If that is the case, that occurred less than an hour after john podesta came before the crowd and said all the votes need to be counted. But the same data drawing conclusions perhaps at a different pace, but its becoming clearer and clearer where this is all pointing. Right now we have donald trump at 248. 218 for Hillary Clinton. Theres the breakdown for you of the electoral votes in the race to 270. Nonetheless, there is excitement here. As we said, others interpret trump in a few moments. Hell have a lot to say. Rightfully so. He will have pulled off, if in fact he is victorious, he will have pulled off the equivalent of a ten magnitude political earthquake in this country on every level. But you can see the smiles, the waves, the signs in the air at the trump headquarters. All this by the way taking place just about four blocks from us. This is im channeling, people have spoken. We all Everybody Needs to accept it. You know, you can be frustrated by it. Thats the way it works. Thats right. This is american democracy. Its at its best. People turned out. You would feel worse about a situation like this if this was a low turnout election. Everybody has their say in this. Call to a lot of establishments of both parties. Its a wake up call to the news media. I go back to i thought about this and how we covered the Great Recession and how we covered the economic downturn. We covered it statistically both as it was going down and we covered it statistically as it was going up. We never touched it. And look, i i know im going to go through this and plenty of other people w this, but weve got to acknowledge this. It is this is the populace. Were in which economic transition. No doubt about it. Going from this industrial economy where jobs, people knew what their job was going to be nobody knows. Ill tell you something steve whats being is trumps making big promises, im going to bring those jobs back and im going to reverse those and im going to make your lives closer to what they were before. That is a huge promise. Announcer ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the vice United States, governor mike pence. You heard the words Vice President elect to the introduction to governor mike pence. In looking live here, trump headquarters in midtown manhattan, there is governor mike pence introduced as the even in the close inner circle didnt know how tonight was going to turnout so i doubt all these speeches were ready. I spoke with someone who said weve got and the headline Kelly Odonnell reporting a source saying that clinton has called trump to concedes the election. Hereser didnt often seem on the same page with his running mate. This is a historic night. The American People have spoken and the American People have elected their new champion. America has elected a new president and its almost hard i and my family feel, that we will have the privilege to serve as your Vice President of the United States of america.

I want to tell the World Community that while we will always put americas interest all people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility, partnership. Not conflict.
