T. 10 am in the east of the United States and as the new day begins the country is waiting on a handful of results which will decide who will be the next president with 43 states counted results are neck and neck that leaves. 7 states to decide the direction of the country and most of them could go either way while other states polls for the night counting continued in wisconsin were expecting to hear the results there in the coming hours and counting has restarted in other areas we will be getting you those updates as soon as they come in this hour we will be speaking to allan fisher who is in washington d. C. There he is who is in bidens home state of delaware lets begin our coverage with this report from mosul enjoyed. Shortly after 2 am on wednesday President Donald Trump told his supporters and the nation that democrats were trying to steal his election day victory and trump said he was suing to hold on to the oval office so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court we want to all voting to stand but with the vote count still unfinished in at least 10 states trumps claim a victory was dubious earlier in the night trumps democratic rival joe biden urged his supporters to as he put it keep the faith i heard tell your night we believe were on track to win a selection. Was. We were because of the odd pressure down early voting a mail in vote thats going to take a while were going to have to be patient until way on the hard work of tally of votes is finished its long been Standard Practice in u. S. Elections to count all the ballots no matter how many days it takes this year the delay is considerable given the more than 100000000 ballots being cast weeks ahead of time as well as the millions of votes cast on election day swing states such as michigan and georgia announced late on tuesday that they would resume counting on wednesday morning and at least one swing state pennsylvania said it might not be done until friday that states governor pushed back against President Donald Trumps accusations that counting ballots after election day is illegal we may not know the results today as a result but i encourage all of us to take a deep breath and as ive been saying just be patient whats most important that we is that we have accurate results and that every vote is counted even if it takes a little longer for news organizations had biden ahead with more than 200 Electoral College votes but the winning candidate needs 270 to be declared the winner is that likely wont happen before wednesday at the earliest roselyn shorten aljazeera. Were going to speak to our correspondents in just a moment the 1st time all santamaria has a breakdown of the numbers so far this is the state of the race 238 to joe biden 213 to donald trump its very tight its very close and even though clearly joe biden has a lead and is closer to 70 than his rival there are paths for both candidates at this point because there are 5 states left and were going to run you through them all too close to call at this stage 10 Electoral College votes in wisconsin part of the socalled blue belts of course which donald trump picked up 4 years ago that includes pennsylvania 20 Electoral College votes which would be vital for either candidate to pick up the presidency at the end of well whichever date ends up being were also looking at michigan in that part of the country with its 16 Electoral College votes completing the blue belt there important probably more for joe biden at this stage than it is for donald trump there are 2 other states to think about and that is North Carolina with 15 Electoral College votes and also the state of georgia with its 16 votes Southern States donald trump would be eyeing those ones up to try to get him over the line with some extra pick ups along the way that might include nevada with 6 Electoral College votes which we would expect to go blue but then you can always expect the unexpected county so a final look at the state of the race 2382213 those states in yellow the ones that are left the swing states the battleground states the states which will ultimately decide this 2020 election. Lets go live down to ellen fisher who is in washington d. C. Ellen even says speaking to kemal i mean these margins are rays theyre thin we knew it could pan out this way waiting some time for a result looking specifically not wisconsin michigan talk us through where were at now how things are looking. Well we just heard from the Campaign Just in in the last few minutes theyre holding a Conference Call with people they say that they are confident of the president s path to victory here of course declared victory several hours ago saying that he had won the election they insist that democrats are pushing to currently balance what the democrats are actually pushing to do is to count all legally cast ballots and the answer to that the Trump Campaign says that if all the legal ballots are counted then the president wins but thats kind of ignoring the situation that were seeing at the moment in both wisconsin and michigan where joe biden is ahead they are counting hundreds of thousands of ballots that have been cast by mail and those absentee ballots as well they come from mainly democratic areas no were not seeing the local democratic but it certainly would suggest that joe biden would have an advantage in both of those states if you add into that nevada which we should find out about probably in about 24 hours or so and you add to the fact that hes won. That almost put some within touching distance and so it makes it much much harder for donald trump to get to that magic 270 figure someone just pointed out to me i dont think anyone has ever won the white house without winning either or high or pennsylvania or florida and that is the possibility that joe biden is looking at at the moment he might not win those 3 states but he still might have enough votes to push him over the edge into 270 certainly theres been some criticism of donald trump and his comments in the early hours of the morning when he said he had one and there was an element of fraud involved in some of the ballots he gave no evidence to support that he said that they were considering going to the Supreme Court now you dont automatically go to the Supreme Court even if youre the president of the United States your campaign has to lodge at a lower court and then it should be up to the Supreme Court to decide if they want to take on the case if the lower courts cant agree or it continues to be appealed. So dont trust believes he still has a few paths to take both public totally but also he can do it in the legal route as well youll remember that its just over a week ago a week ago that we saw the confirmation of him equally valid to the Supreme Court donald trump wanted during justices on the court giving the court a 63 conservative majority because he thought you might be contesting some of the results just 24 hours ago he said no that wasnt going to be the case and here we are on wednesday the day after the election and that could well be where were headed into that end allan donald trump has tweeted talking about this is last night he was leading solidly. And then one by one they started to magically disappear as surprise ballots ballot dumps were counted very strange in capital letters i mean that kind of rhetoric does lead one to the conclusion that things could get quite nasty. But thats not whats happened i mean the reality is that the votes have come in and they are being counted and there are republicans and there are democrats who are involved in the coating process in all of these states including in pennsylvania which could be important no for a couple of days weve been seeing homeport in pennsylvania is youll remember that joe biden spent election day with 2 events there he spent the day before election day with 2 events there this was there the day before the election as well pennsylvania has always been important if theres credit to the trump team its the they saw the path to 270. On the what key constituencies and they narrow it down in pennsylvania to the Northeast Corner of the state and they concentrated a lot of resources there they believe that they did enough to win and of course just before the polls closed we were hearing from the Trump Campaign that even though they were behind in all of the polls they were very comfortable with where they were in terms of yet again the trump camp. Were reading this much more accurately than a lot of the posters why the porters got it wrong thats a question for a couple of days after the election and theyll be questions too for the democrats on how this turned out to be such a tight race when they were up against a man who they see is the most unpopular president in modern times that hes a racist that he sexist that hes overseen a collapse of the economy because of covert theres also soon the death of 230000 americans because of corporate in didnt act soon enough to try and mitigate those numbers even with all that argument to be making since february march april they still havent been able to close the deal on Election Night and theyre no looking at hoping to squeeze by but its been pointed out to me one vote is enough its happened before in the past where the president president rather for it won the Electoral College by one vote and you know what he was president for 4 years every single one of those Electoral College votes counts at this stage thank you for that alan fischer live for us at the white house ok thats the view now from delaware violence home state is in wilmington for us jamal so as far as biden is concerned i mean this was not the overwhelming victory was it that the democrats were hoping for that joe biden was hoping for i mean theyll be a lot of discussion going on right now in. For sure but i think theyll probably postpone that discussion until everything gets settled i mean ultimately it doesnt matter how you get there so long as you get there the question is will they get there they feel here that they are confident to be on course to ending up in the white house were looking at some of those contentious or hotly contested rather states where some of the results are coming in the chair of the Democratic Party i want to read for you one of the tweets that just came out in the past half hour or so where he was talking so here were talking. About. Wisconsin and ben wicklow who is the chair of the Democratic Party there came out and said that he believed by didnt was roughly 20000. 00 votes ahead of donald trump and therefore wisconsin was going to be a blue state this was flagged up by twitter because it is seen as still not something that is 100 percent accurate or at least not 100 percent verifiable but the democrats here do feel that their candidates will eventually make it over the final finishing line albeit just about as you mentioned there was talk of this blue wave that was going to sweep across the nation all the polls as i pointed out that were pointing to a much bigger victory for joe biden that hasnt translated but what matters in the end is winning and when we look at the remaining states wisconsin i just mentioned that but also michigan michigan youre talking about votes that are being counted in detroit a very cosmopolitan area that is more democratic leaning youve had people like to go she was even on the left side of the Democratic Party winning her seat there and youve got a strong argument to say that when all the votes are counted it will result in a biden presidency we are expecting the. Head of the Biden Campaign. Journal molly shes going to be given a statement any minutes now momentarily i think so thats going to maybe give us an idea theyre billing this as a statement to protect democracy again this is been the consistent message coming from here that this election was not just about picking president s it was about defending american democracy and now with trumps permit your statement of victory theyre saying that this is an attack and an affront on the americans right through have their voices heard and were going to hear im sure some strong messages coming from john whos just starting to speak now we will be listening into that as we as we get that feed of that briefing tomorrow while weve got you as you said there are a few potential pas to victory for joe biden looking at pennsylvania looking at michigan how big of a test is this of the mail in vote demographic of the mail in vote and how that goes how that swing. Its a huge test because when you think of it came 1st that youve had more than 100000000 voters most of them by mail right with the pandemic going on obviously is another reason why people chose to do that rather than coming up in crowded areas and polling stations thats more than 50 percent of those who have voted according to one ngo here that monitors Voter Participation roughly the voter turnout this time around was around 160000000 all in all so when youre talking about roughly 55 percent 6 more than rather sort of my math is terrible maybe more than 60 percent of those voting via mail thats going to show just put a lot of stress on and thats why the democrats are saying this attempt to say that these votes shouldnt be counted is essentially just unfair because its expected that some votes were cast to before november 3rd because of the just sheer volume of them it will take time to be delivered and then it will take time to then be counted the knots why theyre saying no one should rush thats why there was these statements not just from the Democratic Party but by a lot of analysts leading up to this that anybody expecting the results within the 1st 12 hours of polls closing is essentially just you know Wishful Thinking that this will be a long and drawn out process hopefully not so long and drawn out in the sense that it wouldnt go to court but that is still a very real possibility ok thank you for that update there tamala shylock from wilmington delaware lets take a look now at the state of play joe biden has 238 Electoral College votes while donald trump has 213 the magic number of course is 217 here in yellow you can see the states that still in play georgia North Carolina in the south nevada in the west and the 3 midwestern states of heads of the new wisconsin and michigan the last 3 known as blue wall states won narrowly carried by trump and 2016 securing him the presidency. Lets bring in sunny rosenberg and washington he is the president of the new Democrat Network and a former advisor to president bill clinton thank you for your time mr rosenberg as ought to tell its of course that we are waiting we are listening to the counts but is this what weve seen so far disappointing for the democrats no i mean job number one was to be done on trump and i think were on track to do that it just didnt happen as quick as perhaps we all want it and joe biden is on track to get potentially as high as 52 or even 53 percent of the vote in one of the highest turnout elections in American History so i think you know this has been a bloody battle you know i think we will i think were worried about the senate i think it would be important for us to also bring the senate along along with President Biden but i think you know we feel good i think donald trump is going to be a former president and joe biden is going to be the next president of states that was our main job this cycle and i think were on the verge of achieving it a couple of states that we are keeping an eye on expecting results you know possibly in the coming hours. Wisconsin i mean less than one percentage point in it michigan 0. 2 Percentage Points in it to these results so far these razor thin margins say to you no matter how you sit on the divide what do they say to you about the states of america. Well i mean this was obviously its not clear to me that the popular vote is going to be as close as the Electoral College i mean i think when all the votes are counted joe biden will win between 4. 00 and 6. 00 Percentage Points in the popular vote and this will be that for the democrats this will be the 7th out of 8 elections the last state elections where weve won more votes and so if there is a hearty that is closer to being a permanent Majority Party its the Democratic Party over the last generation of american politics i will say that i think what we have to watch over the next few days are going to read all the votes be counted and there are some states there are 20 states that allow ballots to come in after election day to be counted and we know that states like nevada i mean what the analysts
