Delaware. arlette, obviously nothing is more suggestive of the fact that president trump doesnt think hes going to win than the legal flailing that were seeing coming from his camp. what are you picking up from team biden? >> reporter: well, jake, the mood inside bidens campaign right now is one of confidence, that 270 electoral votes that they are hoping to attain. they are watching these results that are coming in over the course of the night very closely in georgia. theyre feeling good about ...

Democratic, which is why in the biden campaign, they have hope of overcoming the math, and we need to play the process out. >> 16 electoral votes in georgia. 253 that biden has, 253 plus 16, very close to the 270 you need. >> we know if joe biden can protect his leads in nevada and in arizona, that would be enough, right, that would be enough, but just remember the moment were in right now where the presidents campaign, well see if they follow through, but the presidents campaign says were sendi...

Now it is less than one percentage point that he has the lead. i think its also important to note all eyes are on this presidential race and its key to keep an eye on that. we are counting all the ballots. the secretary of state has assured voters every legitimate, every legal vote will be counted and it will be added to the total. and that is important to reassure voters that they are following the process and theyre encouraging people to be patient. >> are your friends nervous? are the republi...

Much in it. im going to go talk to the panel a little bit there. harry, let me start with you. in terms of the president having a harder pathway, give me a sense of how true that is given him overperforming to date in arizona and making a comeback. >> i mean, look, even if he won in arizona, right? and lets say he win in nevada and then he goes up and wins in alaska. lets saw you give him georgia, you give him north carolina. if joe biden wins in pennsylvania, that gets him over the top, right? ...

They count all the votes before they release any of the next batch of results. a thin, thin margin there. now, north carolina, another quick tell, the president is ahead by 76,000, he has been for a while. there is a little bit of an opportunity for more vote to come in to change the state of play here. this is where it is, it may be a likely candidate for the first of these five to get projected. 15 electoral votes there. lets look at the big map. big map, 253 to 213. joe biden, a couple of mov...
