Donald trumps falsely claimed election victory and is disputing the results. And in other news a minute she escalation in northern ethiopia tensions between the government and local groups threaten to spill across the border. Is 2100. 00 g. M. T. 4 pm u. S. Eastern time and 15 hours after the last polls closed in the president ial election the result is still on a knife edge but it seems it could be tilting the way of former Vice President joe biden and his Democratic Party is due to speak at any minute and these are live pictures from wilmington delaware well take you there a soon as he starts but dont trump is definitely not about to concede hes not showing a string of legal attacks or disputing ballots and challenging results biden has moved closer in the past hour to the magic total of 270. 00 votes for the white house adding the 10 Electoral College seats in the state of wisconsin. But the trunk campaign is already demanding a recount in that state and has fallen lawsuit to try to stop the counting of votes in another key swing state michigan where the results are also unclear in georgia and pennsylvania both could be key steps on the path to the white house but hasnt stopped donald trump from falsely declaring herself the winner despite votes still being counted is threatening to go to the Supreme Court something bidens team said theyre ready to challenge this is a fraud on the American Public this isnt an iris meant to our country. We were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this whole. The it was true our goal now is to ensure the integrity. For the good of this nation this is a very big moment this is a major fraud or a nation we want the law to be used in a proper manner so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court we want all voting to stop we dont want them to find any ballot said 4 oclock in the morning and then put the list. Thats going on in washington d. C. Alan at the Time Campaign has declared victory in pennsylvania but they still have some way to go before its official. Exactly right 1 and theres going to be a few days before all the ballots are counted but because of that there are no saying that theyre going to go to the Supreme Court and go to court on a number of issues 1st of all they want to hold the voting because it says there hasnt been enough transparency in pennsylvania so they want to challenge that theyre moving to intervene in the Supreme Court case that is extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be counted to 3 days and theyre also moving to make sure that theres no extension for people to provide id for those that did mail in ballots according to the Trump Campaign there 93509 votes ahead they say that there are 605000 ballots standing and they claim that the president needs only 57. 73 of those ballots to declare victory in pennsylvania the Biden Campaign is going to try and oppose that obviously because they still want to win pennsylvania for political reasons but also for visceral reasons because joe biden was born in pennsylvania and feels he wants to win this state but that doesnt national but even if pennsylvania is bookstore it doesnt rule out to joe biden get to 274 votes because he was just declared by a number of media organizations the winner in wisconsin thats being charged in thats being challenged by a recount there but also they think that hes going to win michigan and given that hes won out as soon as they think he will also when nevada when the position there becomes clear that gets him to 270 that is enough for him to when the Electoral College but its clear that when donald trump said for the last 3 or 4 weeks that he would take court action to try and ensure his victory when he said that if we lose well only lose because people are stealing it. Almost when he said that he wanted 9 justices on the Supreme Court which is why just a week ago just over a week ago believe it or not that he got equally ballot installed as the new justice on the Supreme Court to essentially give the conservative majority there a 63. 00 telt when he said all of this that was an indication of what were seeing know that a lot of this battle is going to be fought in the courts in the United States so possibly more to come on the long lines of wisconsin and michigan that you mentioned and what about overall there are people surprised that in some ways relatively how well trump is done given given what the polls were predicting in mentioning. Exactly and if you take wisconsin just as one a weekend poll from the Washington Post and a. B. C. That was regarded as a bit of a known liar that it wasnt fairly accurate it suggested the joe biden was going to win the states by state by 17 points well that was never going to happen but its been research then were talking about 10000 votes there or thereabouts i think the democrats are surprised that their message has had more of an impact because were talking about a president who in the time of covert has overseen the death of 230000 americans whose watched his economy which was doing reasonably well essentially over the last 6 months they have seen a man who they have branded as a racist a sexist is someone who tried to further his own businesses during his time in the white house and of course he was impeached for trying to get foreign actors to get involved in the u. S. Election they believe that that was illegal with all of these things have still seen an increase in his vote that people have come out to vote for donald trump that they thought and looked at the case that has been made by the democrats and thought he will have 4 more years of that so the democrats are really surprised there will be some inquest into exactly how the democrats may have misjudged things quite so badly but at the moment all the democrats attention is really on getting joe biden over the line over 270 Electoral College votes and into the white house come january the 20th next year but theres still a long way to go before that but we knew this 24 hours ago we were saying this isnt going to be decided on the night people need to come down and they need to become this is going to take some time to play out and thats exactly whats happening allan thank you very much for the time being and as we mentioned. We are expecting to hear from shortly and he had patience to see what his message is as they counting continues and that still undecided and action. Well Biden Campaign advisor bob bauer has defended the voting process and says americans should have face that although it will be tallied at some point here rising for the Supreme Court with a novel proposition that ballots that were lawfully cast by eligible voters but not get counted by the time donald trump wanted them counted that somehow they dont count anymore he will be in for one of the most embarrassing defeats a president ever suffered for the highest court in the land. Joins us live from that wilmington delaware before we hear from biden what is the pathway now for him to reach the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes. Well known off to wisconsin being projected by then victory it seems a lot shorter of a pathway to the white house for the democratic candidate because there are several. States where he can pick up were talking about michigan where it looks likely that he would win its considering the votes cost there on whats being nuff to 2 counts georgia is very much in play there was talk of or is own up possibly being a Biden Victory as well so with him only needing just over 2022 votes to get to that 270 does seem that it is very clear you could very well win its without necessarily having to win pennsylvania biden speaking right now lets listen in. That. You have to. Come alive. Here and make a brief statement and im sure will have more to say later. Tonight or tomorrow. Well let me begin by thanking the press for being here and thank you everyone else my fellow americans yesterday once again proved that democracy is the heartbeat of this nation jesse has been has been the heartbeat of this nation for 2 centuries and even in the face of a pandemic more americans voted this election than ever before in American History over 150000000 people cast their vote i think thats just extraordinary and if we had any doubts we should have any longer but a government of by and for the people is very much alive very much alive in america here the people rule power cant be taken or certain it flows from the people and is their will that terminus who will be the president of the United States and there were alone and now after a long night of county its clear that where one knew enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency im not here to clear that weve won but i am here to report on the count is finished we believe we will be the winners of all those counted. We have won wisconsin by 20000 virk votes virtually the same margin of President Trump won that state 4 years ago in michigan we need by over 35000 votes and its growing a substantially bigger margin and President Trump won michigan in 2016 michigan will complete its vote soon maybe as early as the day and i feel very good about pennsylvania. Virtually all the remaining ballots to be counted are cast by mail and weve been winning 78 percent of the votes by mail in pennsylvania we flipped arizona and the 2nd district of nebraska of special significance to me is that weve won with the majority of the American People and every indication is that that majority will grow of the popular vote lead of nearly 3000000 votes and every indication is that will grow as well indeed senator harris and i are on track to win more votes than any ticket in the history of this country that ever won the presidency and vice presidency over 70000000 votes im very proud of our campaign only 3 president ial campaigns in the past have defeated an incumbent president when its finished god willing will be the 4th this is a major achievement this is a major achievement and its been a long and Difficult Campaign but its been a more difficult time for our country a hard time weve had a hard campaigns before weve faced hard times before so once this election is finalized and behind us it will be time for us to do what weve always done as americans to put the harsh rhetoric of the campaign behind us to lower the temperature to see each other again to listen to one another tweet to hear each other again and respecting care for one another to unite to heal to come together as a nation i know this wont be easy im not naive neither of us are. I know how deep and hard the opposing views are in our country on so many things but i also know this is well to make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies we are not enemies what brings us together as americans is so much stronger than anything they can tears apart so let me be clear i we are campaigning as a democrat but i will govern as an american president or the president the presidency itself is not a partisan institution its the one office in this nation that represents everyone and it demands a duty of care for all americans and that is precisely what i will do our i will work as hard for those who didnt vote for me as i will for those who did vote for me now every vote must be counted no ones going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever america has come too far americas far too many battles americas endured too much to ever let that happen we the people will not be silenced we the people will not be bullied we the people will not surrender my friends im confident well emerge victorious but this will not be my victory alone or our victory alone would be a victory for the American People for our democracy for america and there will be no blue states and red states when we win just the United States of america god bless you all and may god protect our troops. Isnt that a joe biden giving the announcement saying that hes not here to declare that we won but that we think when all the votes are being counted we will have won so confident that he has the path to get to those 270 Electoral College votes but not declaring victory at this stage as a weight into counting is done and paying tribute to the one more than 150000000 americans who cast their votes in this election either by mail or early or in person and talking about the need to for the country to unite to heal and come together as a nation after the election thats bring back in a drama so careful joe biden that to sound confident but not prejudge the results here while the counting is still going on. Essentially he just stopped short of declaring himself the victor he said obviously that he will only do that once all the votes are counted however as far as they are concerned he believes they have the numbers in particular pointing to 2 very important things when it comes to numbers one thats the margin of victory in wisconsin that has already been projected is the same as what trump wanted him back in 2016 essentially saying well trump should have nothing to complain about because its the same margin of victory they are and in terms of michigan how its going right now that margin of victory as far as the democrats are concerned is even greater than the one that trump won back in 2016 when were talking about pennsylvania he pointed to the fact that most of the votes that still havent been counted are postal ones and up until now the democrats have been winning roughly 78. 00 almost 80 percent just under 80 percent of postal votes that have been cost there but aside from kind of crunching the numbers so to speak and showing how they work in his favor it was a very. He was very strong when he was talking about american democracy and this has been really the core of his message throughout the past few days prior to the elections and especially now since the messages have been coming out from the white house from donald trump saying that you know votes shouldnt be counted that there needs to be some sort of a suspension of the process of processing all those millions of votes that have been coming through he said this is something that he will not stand for instant fact spoke on behalf of the people he said we the people will not allow anybody to take away americas democracy will not allow anybody to bully us so thats a very strong message from that front as well but there was also lower and we would have heard from there he was just speaking at the building right behind me more conciliatory tone maybe towards not necessarily trying but at least towards Trump Supporters saying. That he was going to be a president for all americans he admitted that currently there is a lot of division and there is it was a very polarized Election Campaign trump has been according to most analysts probably one of the most polarizing president s in modern history so he acknowledges that but saying that he and his Vice President should be a friend kate if indeed they are announced victors as they expect common interest would work hard to ensure that they would represent everybody that there wouldnt be blue states and receipts as were seeing on our screens when were breaking down those Election Results that this were he would be a president for the United States of america now whether those words of calm whether those kind of strong words in terms of protecting the democratic process will resonate with Trump Supporters and with others on the other end of the spectrum obviously well wait and see but the democrats wont just be depending on bidens statements they have been raising millions of dollars in the case that they will need to defend what they believe to be their victory in the courts and thats something that they are also preparing for as well diminish thank you very much indeed and now lets talk about pennsylvania now which is the state which is an important one for both sides of the Trail Campaign is saying its suing to hold the vote counting in pennsylvania we just heard from biden there he was saying he feels very good about pennsylvania lets go live to it to christensen nummi in philadelphia so it seems that all to play for and theyre still theyre still counting on they. Absolutely the counting is going on at the Convention Center behind me another locations throughout the state about 83 percent of the vote has been counted in right now it shows donald trump in the lead by about 5 percent but to put it in perspective that is only about a difference of 350000 votes and there is still a 1000000 or so ballots left to count but present. Chomps campaign is taking legal action now attempting to declare victory already and stop the counting from Going Forward basically the campaign is accusing state officials of scheming to disenfranchise voters theyre saying that they arent getting enough access for their monitors inside as the votes are being counted and so theyre taking the legal action to address that saying that the counting should stop until the observers get quote meaningful access to them. Hes also asking the Supreme Court to overturn a Lower Court Decision a state Supreme Court of pennsylvania decision that would allow ballots that are received after election day but postmarked by election day to be counted. Again the lower court here in pennsylvania did uphold that but he wants the Supreme Court to get involved and overturn that the governor of pennsylvania for his part governor tom wolfe has called this a partisan attack he is a defended the work of his poor workers here he said theyre work
