Where votes as you can see are still being counted. Because of us president resigns following the indictment for war crimes at the hague. And the u. K. Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy as an england enters another democrat down. Im far as small have all the days support and polluting pressure mounts on Manchester United boss only going to sole share as his side loses a gallon this time in istanbul in the Champions League. Now americans are waking up to another day of uncertainty over who will be the next president it is now 8 am in the u. S. State of georgia the is a live pictures from that where vote counting has been going through the night its an extremely close race in the traditionally republican States Donald trumps initial lead has been steadily. Falling georgia is one of several states where republicans are already filing legal challenges over this election lets take a step back and look at the state of play right now well biden has already flipped michigan and wisconsin that donald trump on very narrowly 4 years ago the democratic candidate now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes according to the Associated Press while trump is projected to win just 214 remember a candidate needs 270 in order to be declared the winner here in yellow you can see the states that are still being decided is nevada in the west and of course georgia North Carolina next to georgia and of course pennsylvania while the Associated Press is projecting a win for biden in arizona but this is also been disputed by the Trump Campaign we are following a. P. Calls here at Al Jazeera English well bidens lead over trump has narrowed in arizona over the recent hours this battleground state is worth a critical 11 Electoral College votes as i mentioned a vote counting is still ongoing in georgia trump there leads by only about 18000 votes but what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes are from the plants and its suburbs which lean democratic we are expecting more days in the coming hours could be called any moment we are also still waiting on pennsylvania thats the state that joe biden was born in trumps lead here is again shrinking the remaining male ballots are mostly from democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh that all gives biden a pretty good chance to catch up pennsylvania is another state where trumps also filed a lawsuit and here is nevada where biden is narrow lee in the lead the Western State has 6 electoral votes doesnt sound like a lot but that would be enough to get him to that magic number 270 allow teams are in place across the United States alan fischer is monitoring developments from washington d. C. And bidens home state of delaware and kristen salumi is at the Pennsylvania Convention center but 1st Patty Culhane wraps up all the developments so far. Former Vice President joe biden projecting confidence he will be the next president and he may have taken a step closer he sociate a press declaring hes won the states of wisconsin and michigan giving him more Electoral College votes and an easier path to the to 70 that will get him to the white house 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 when the count is finished we believe we will be the winners but u. S. President donald trump is demanding a recount in wisconsin after falling short by around 20000 votes even his most ardent supporters doubt that will change anything former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker tweeting out a recount and 2016 trumps numbers went up by 131 and the counting continues in the states that will decide the election with state officials asking for patience give the Public Servants the opportunity to do their job and what i will tell you is that tara pennsylvania were going to follow the law and we will respect the will of the people and the crop her victory will be certified based on who got more votes the president is suing to stop the counting in some states his surrogates saying falsely that the election is being stolen to win for a republican to win here how many votes we have to be at 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think theres only 14 percent of the vote to go if you think were stupid you think were fools the president is complaining on twitter theyre finding biden votes all over the place in pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan so bad for country to be clear theyre not finding ballots but counting ones that come in on time according to state laws. And there is a question about whether the Postal Service run by a trump loyalist interfered in getting ballots delivered on time define a federal judges order tuesday to do a sweep for ballots they refused potentially leaving hundreds of thousands not counted the one thing this election has clearly shown america is a nation divided it really does seem like people live in 2 different realities given like the news they consume and who they surround themselves with so i i am not that surprised that a lot of people decided to vote again for a president who has brought us to where we are with several cases winding their way through the courts as the votes are counted and america and the world waits to see who eked out a win in this fractured country. Aljazeera all that space alan fischer who joins us now live from washington d. C. And weve been saying so much rests on these really raise at the margins right now and i see theres already an army of lawyers thats been deployed by the truck cab. Exactly right no were expecting results of from georgia probably in the next 45 hours we are told that there is 25000. 00 votes just to be counted and the secretary of state one of the leading officials dealing with the election in georgia says they expect to have an announcement around lunch time which would put that about 12 oclock so that could be interesting because at the moment dont trump is slightly ahead we know that joe biden is gaining on votes that have been cast in some of the democratic areas of georgia so that could well settle the whole president ial race but we have the lawyers out in force in other countries in other counties and also in other states such as pennsylvania the in wisconsin there also in michigan as well theres a couple reasons why dont trump wants to do that 1st of all he believes that he has been cheated by some of the procedures even though the officials there are saying look there are people from both parties in here they are looking at the procedures as we count the votes there is nothing untoward and some of the allegations that are being made are just quite simply nonsense theres another reason why i dont want to do it if youre talking about that youre not talking about your by winning the election youre talking about electoral fraud and so that distracts from donald trump so yes the lawyers are about working hard on behalf of donald trump alan do you think that there is a real danger here if joe biden does make it across that 270 Electoral College threshold that President Trump will decide that he wont concede and went to from there. Well you know people say well if that happens donald trump will do the right thing but youve got to look at whats happened over the last 4 years and has he ever acted the way that people thought he was going to remember when he won the election 4 years ago we were told that he would that much more president ial when he was actually in the white house that didnt happen we were told that he would torn down his tweets because he realized that they were causing problems that didnt happen he wouldnt be so aggressive against opponents that didnt happen so will he walk away will he quietly hand over power. Lets wait and see but it seems that its unlikely certainly we do hes going to fight all the way to stay in the white house we know that he set up this scenario weeks ago when he talked about if you will or steal election it would only be through fraud he couldnt possibly conceive the idea that the American Public might reject him or his ideas so how is he going to react i think we can only wait and see it would be wrong to speculate but someone pointed out a short time ago the last. Republican president to win one term was george w. Bush when he lost he stood up in front of his supporters and said were going to get in contact with governor bill clinton were going to do everything we can to make sure that the transition is smooth because sometimes country is more important than party and i suspect theyll be those in the Republican Party who might go to the white house and just remind donald trump of that if joe biden wins the election but weve got to see at this point a move got to make absolutely clear both men still have a path to 270 its just proper possibly a big killer clearer for joe biden at the moment and thinking alan there with analysis for us from washington d. C. Were watching the vote counting very closely here and out of there thanks so much allan well lets now speak hes and joe bidens home state of delaware he joins us now from wilmington jamal let me ask you what has the biden cant been doing in preparation for these potential legal fights ahead. Well theyve expected this is a possible scenario it always is in an election but obviously this election more than others that there would be some sort of Legal Recourse that either side actually could have taken obviously. Campaign has been more forceful and more vocal about their challenges to the results that have been coming in and thats why the Democratic Party in the by the camp has been fund raising from its supporters and donors to be able to put up a legal fight which often costs a lot of money but since these statements were made by biden late in the day on wednesday we havent heard much from them but it is very important to kind of stop those comments that were made and we played a few of them earlier on in the program where he was talking about his confidence in reaching out to 70 number in the confidence of the biden camp has that he will be eventually announced as the next president of the United States but further afield there where of 2 of the key messages or there was mention of 2 of the key messages in that speech that he gave at the trade center here one was the imperative kind of or the importance of protecting the democratic process of respecting gets and i think biden is trying to lead by example here by not declaring himself a victor yet by saying that all the votes have to be counted and only then will we know who indeed is the next president of the u. S. But the 2nd key message was pertaining to the Huge Division that exists currently in us society a division thats only been exhausted. Rather because of the coronavirus that the pandemic thats going on with some people siding with trumps policy of how to deal with its others on the other side of it some believing that the government has failed to deal with this we saw its with the. Movements we saw you saw those divisions in. Of other he issues that really kind of cut across the fault lines of the u. S. And when we look at the results that i have been coming across the United States what well see is actually there hasnt been a real shift in terms of people who voted for trump in 2016 and suddenly have switched sides what weve seen is just greater Voter Participation and an increase in the in the difference between the democrats and the republicans so what i mean by that is even in the traditionally republican states within those states the democratic cities in them maybe their Voter Participation has increased but the states themselves havent necessarily flipped from red to blue and that division is where we heard joe biden saying its his huge challenge to be a president for all of the United States and to try and mend and heal the division an incredibly polarized country. There for us in delaware bidens home state thank you jamal. Well as weve been saying pennsylvania as one of his critical battleground states which could decide the selection his come out santa maria with more on just why it matters. Pennsylvania is famously joe bidens native state you probably heard him mention scranton pennsylvania more than a few times but it is important for anyone who wants to win the white house pennsylvania has 20 Electoral College votes on offer and the pollsters believe the keystone state could in fact hold the key in deciding who wins this time around but if history for you here we go back 299246 straight president ial elections it has backed the democrats bill clinton and barack obama who won twice john kerry and al gore who didnt but pennsylvania still became part of the socalled democratic blue wall but like so many things all of that changed in 2016 pennsylvania flipped red only just when donald trump beat Hillary Clinton by less than one percent now were going to bring up the 26. 00 electoral map to see who did well where and youve got the democrats down in the southeast they did well the other cities in the suburbs the republicans who won in mostly rural areas did pick up some urban centers and then the 3 counties which weve colored in orange who switched from barack obama in 2 elections to donald trump in 2016 a quick look at some demographics for you and more than 80 percent of pennsylvanias voting population is white blue collar voters who have long been the democrats base noncollege educated voters who favor donald trump also 10 percent of eligible voters are black and hispanics a little over 5 percent so it will probably come down to do is urban voters in pennsylvania and whether biden can hold on to them and then woo some back from donald trump to decide who gets 20 vital Electoral College votes and that is why pennsylvania matters. Because pennsylvania massenets Peter Christensen amy she joins us now from the Pennsylvania Convention center and. Kristen i know the counting is continuing that can you give us a sense of where things stand now how soon could we get results. Well Vice President joe biden has been inching closer and closer to donald trump as the votes continue to be counted the difference between the 2 has shrunk overnight when we went to bed it was about 56. 00 Percentage Points apart now its down to 3 percent or 165000. 00 votes less than that separating the 2 candidates with some 763000. 00 votes still left outstanding that gives joe biden a possibility of catching up to donald trump here and he is favored to move ahead because so many of the votes that are left are in urban centers particularly here in philadelphia where i am which lean heavily democratic heavily blue at this rate we do expect that most of the ballots would be counted today and we could have a pretty clear idea but remember the state is continuing to accept ballots received by mail right up until friday that is however being contested by the Trump Campaign who thinks that that is not a fair idea they are contesting that also the Republican National committee has filed another lawsuit. Against policies here in the state of pennsylvania in particular the secretary of state has ruled that voters have until november 12th to essentially submit missing proof of identity for mail in ballots basically if there is a signature missing or some other detail missing on that ballot they can. Come in and fix it that is something that the republicans are fighting to stop now how many votes this could impact these 2 lawsuits if the president were successful in stopping some of these ballots from being counted its hard to say its likely a smaller percentage of votes but the way things are going this could be a really tight race here in those legal actions could make a difference ill continue watching very closely and they Christensen Amy that speaking to us from philadelphia and pennsylvania thanks so much preston. Well bidens victory in the swing state of wisconsin has already given him 10 electoral votes but the Time Campaign as demanding a recount there and people have taken to the streets natasha going to reports from the regional capital madison. Despite the comeback story of the Democratic Party here in the state of wisconsin grad a rally at the capitol and people here are saying theyre here because this isnt over theyre standing for democracy and they say they will not leave until every vote is counted in the United States it was a good day for democrats in the state of wisconsin bitin flipped the state by 20000 votes edge to head of trauma as absentee ballots were counted in the cities of milwaukee green bay and had no shot in 2016 troth one wisconsins 10 Electoral College votes by less than 23000 votes earning him the distinction of being the 1st republican president ial candidate to win in the state in more than 30 years that was clearly something the democrats did not want to have a repeat of it was a bruising loss for them so in the intervening years they dumped a lot of money into the state biden campaigned heavily here so did trump now the Truck Campaign manager has said they will ask for a recount here in wisconsin the manager said that without any evidence without ci
