His supporters are defining the president s showing no signs of conceding as he passed a challenge ballot counts in several states. That hasnt stopped leaders from around the world applauding joe biden including many who have walkie relations were trying to. Welcome 800100 hours g. M. T. 7 pm in washington d. C. And the days of anxious waiting the United States has reached a fateful moment in its history Democratic Party candidate joe biden is now president elect having obtained 290 electoral votes so far if course needed 270 to take the white house. Well this is what finally put joe biden across the finish line a projected victory in pennsylvania with its 20 Electoral College votes and nevada with 6 hes also leading in georgia but that race is still too close to call current President Donald Trump has 214. 00 electoral votes all together. Looking at the breakdown of numbers its a picture of a nation divided bidens won more votes than any other president ial candidate before him but trump had huge support to outperforming his successful run in 2016. Well joe biden is expected to address the nation in the next few hours but he has already tweeted that he is on it that america has chosen him to lead he says the work ahead will be hard but he promised to be a president for all americans those who voted for him and those who didnt and he says hell keep the faith that supporters have placed in him his running mate coming to harris isnt just the 1st woman to become Vice President shes also the 1st person of black in south asian descent harris learned of the news while out jogging this is the video of her reaction and a phone call to joe biden was posted online. We. Did you know. Here in the next president of the United States. The president has not conceded the race which he says is far from over in a statement he said we all know why joe biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies of trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed beginning monday our counting will stop prosecuting our case and courts to ensure election laws are fully up held and the rightful winner is seated. And the president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani explained more about the cases that pursuing she just about the 700000 votes that President Trump was ahead by 2 days ago that disappeared. And we have no way of knowing because we were deprived of the right to inspect it if a single one of those ballots is legitimate that is unheard of its illegal its unconstitutional and we will be bringing an action challenging that and i emphasize to you its only one of the many other infirmities in this election. President trump has now returned to the white house from his golf course in virginia he was there when major t. V. Networks began calling the election in joe bidens favor. And well hear more about trumps reactions and plans for him White House Correspondent kimmie health kits we will also go live to the passing cold pain who is in philadelphia we have natasha got him standing by for us in Atlanta Georgia lets begin with mike hanna in wilmington delaware so mike were here when are we likely to hear from the president elect. What were expecting to hear from him in the next hour hes due to arrive here at the Campaign Headquarters of the Convention Center behind be here where he will make his 1st speech as president elect of the United States joe biden has described this campaign as a battle for the soul d of the country a battle which clearly at this particular point he has won tonight hes expected to outline how he sees the next few weeks how in visions the transition process moving from president elect to becoming the 46th president of the United States and what we do know is that his number one priority is to combat the ongoing pandemic we understand that he has already set up a Coronavirus Task force the formal announcement of this task force will be made monday but its expected to be headed by a former service surgeon general. Birth the so Camilla Harris and joe biden getting straight down to work we will hear more about their gender when he addresses the growing crowd in very excited crowd that are gathering behind me and mike of course history being made in the form of a Vice President elect come to her as the 1st woman the 1st asian black woman to hold this position a Vice President are we expected to hear from her. She is likely to be speaking as well although the campaign hasnt yet confirmed exactly who will be speaking a long side the president but she has been with him over the past 48 hours as they watch the vote come in and certainly she has been an absolutely critical part of his campaign some observers describe his decision to take on hatteras as a running make as a strategic vertical in terms of the fact in terms of the impact that she had on the polls so she will play an absolutely key figure and this is one of the things that joe biden is going to have to determine in the days ahead exactly what kind of function will she play within the Biden Administration now one would remember that joe biden himself and barack obama as Vice President was task with very clear issues to address a financial crisis for example this was a key part of joe bidens portfolio he is now going to be finding in which way he is going to deploy heris as his Vice President in terms of combating what their priorities are on the agenda and top of the agenda as i keep on saying the ongoing pandemic this is being a feature of Violence Campaign he outlined a broad plan to combat the pandemic very early on in its campaign and we are likely to see perhaps really been here tonight about a new national way to engage the pandemic up until now until the trumpet ministration its been left largely to the states to formulate their own programs there has been no overarching National Directive in terms of combating the pandemic which many would argue accounts for the terrible way in which of those struck and ravaged the United States so this will be a key issue joe biden in about an hours time will have the opportunity to begin putting his stamp on his president ial period. My kind of that for us in delaware lets go to washington washington d. C. We can speak to our White House Correspondent can help get. The support of joe biden out in the streets outside the white house that support out celebrating that for many hours now. Yeah not exactly a socially distance event as we talk about combating covert 19. Most of the people Wearing Masks but still as the party in continues one hopes that continues this is the party that is happening outside the white house as donald trump is inside the white house when we return soon feeling not particularly happy about the developments that have taken place today in fact we know from the president s statements on twitter that he is not accepting this result that he believes there were many votes that in his words were illegal meaning that came after election day this we should point out is due to new protocols that were put in place in a number of states to allow for social distancing is people voted and so the president is having a hard time accepting what the Television Networks of this country have accepted that joe biden will be the president elect now we should point out that this is not an official result this is not official result until it is certified after the Electoral College vote so this is something that will take place a few weeks from now if its in that window of opportunity that the Truck Campaign believes that it has a chance to challenge the Election Results so far so thats what it says it will do and what many people are hoping is just the opposite the donald trump will concede for the good of the country which is what we typically see in moments like this but donald trump is doubling down for dowsing he will continue to fight he will continue to fight he says because millions of americans are expecting him to do so casting their ballots so this leaves the United States as you. Pointed out very divided and this will be a tough challenge for the country now to kind of bridge those differences as it moves forward but for now there is celebrating for 50 percent of america roughly the other 50 percent following the lead of the president not feeling too good right now. As you say he has pledged to continue to contest the results but if his efforts are unsuccessful the pressure on him to publicly concede defeat will mount do you think hes going to do that. You know this really comes down to personal observation ad and. There are certainly those in the United States that are fearful the president wont honor this time honored tradition of the peaceful transfer of power that really has been a bedrock of american democracy for centuries but what were seeing is for now at least the president already the commitment to fight for his supporters having said that having covered the president for the last 4 years hes one that does pursue his legal offshoots but when those options for the out he he generally does what hes supposed to do but not without speaking as screaming 1st so i suspect were going through that process now i do expect that donald trump will ultimately conceive if he feels there is no other choice but right now he still feels and is going to pursue the Legal Options that are available to him. White house correspondent lets go to patty pain in philadelphia this was the state that won it for biden that took him over that magic number of 270 whats happening that. Every minute of every minute were talking to you here is just a flat out so abrasions before we get to set the scene for you and tell you what the days good like i think its important to point out that Rudy Giuliani said in several false words in that statement he was talking about the fact that. After on Election Night it looked like President Donald Trump had about a 700000. 70 vote lead and then thats because they were cast. The in person votes and the republicans tended to vote in person then they moved on to the maryland ballots and that was overwhelmingly democratic so over the last couple of days here in philadelphia watching them count the numbers they were coming in from democratic cities like philadelphia and pittsburgh and so over the days we just saw that margin go up and up and they got to the point where statistically it seems very possible that donald trump could actually win the election and win pennsylvania what basically happened is im sorry. Its very loud around here so let me tell you what today has been rather. It was it was called for joe biden immediately this city car horns dancing in the streets music people impromptu gathering all around downtown philadelphia you step out of the way crowds crowds really calm down here but basically there were hundreds of people here celebrating. And right here in front of city hall there i think maybe a lot of people have gone home to watch joe bidens speech but for the last 7 hours there has been dancing in the streets of philadelphia the city feeling very proud that they put their native son lets not forget joe biden likes to say he was born in scranton pennsylvania that they put him in the white house so the celebrations continue here in philadelphia peacefully weve seen a future supporters theyve been heckled a bit so far this is a very peaceful celebration on the streets of philadelphia many thanks for that passing called for us in philadelphia and. In Atlanta Georgia. Which is still ongoing that the Council Still coming and its too close to call. Clearly from what we can see behind the posses already stopped him. Absolutely 7 plus hours of for now the honking and start screaming dancing used here comes another way listen i think the Senate Democratic candidate in georgia best in capsulated the mood among biden supporters when he said change is having a ga in georgia is part of the change coming to america this is a state that for 28 years had not thrown its support behind a democratic president ial candidate biden is now leading leading trump here by about 7500 so that is a very significant this is one of those elections where i think a lot of people given its historic nature away from a lot harris the Vice President elect are going to remember what they were doing and how they felt when they heard the news and how in the large i want to hear from you what were you doing and how did you feel when you heard the news well i mean i woke up like a few minutes after they announced the girder lets put out an alarm and we just like ok Something Different you know i was like crazy. Yeah i mean im im most excited to see a lot of the hard work paid off you know on the one hand its about. Georgia flipping by overrules about to order you know all these you know especially movements led by black women you have pro drawers or your burger stand up you have new georgia project you know what theyre showing is like you have proliferated for the longest time they could afford not to you know and these movements like its a game because if. I listen to them and for that for thing this is a victory for them with a victory for george here when we got the senate we have atlanta. Governors. Mansion the to you. Senate races here in georgia theyre still undecided theyre razor thin close and theyll be heading back to the polls but the results from runoff in january do you feel its realistic the democrats think they can flip the. Game from. The governor well i mean its hard to say like democrats you know i think that the movement and the coalition that women have to go thats something thats kind of a plan and right now i make the most sorry shes here because im an american but i believe in her home or should it showed its force it showed its strength and mike it matters you know and i think that that that sort of momentum it doesnt just disappear it doesnt last forever but a government has disappeared so i am im optimistic you know as a georgian you have another i think. What do you think its going to take to get people engaged again to show up to the polls historically democrats do not show up in large numbers and run a little you know hopefully people feel what it feels like tonight feels like you know atlanta save the world you could say you know like i mean thats an overstatement but like people feel what that feels like and like i said if you never listen to theres no point showing up but what this movement and so on is that its worth listening so i really believe that thats going to put it over the here in georgia biden drew a large chunk of his support from voters in the 18 to 29 year old range you look like you fall into that category keep talk about some of the issues that are foremost in your mind that you would like the Biden Administration to tackle totally i mean i dont need to say its been said all summer you know you have Climate Change you have all these storms that are happening you have an addiction crisis that that has to do with a pandemic youve got you know the fact is the more these crises come it hurts the most vulnerable of us every time and recovering goes to the not most vulnerable of us i think by making a big. Issue is how do you have the issue of racism which is still huge and just listening to the communities when they can. And i think thats what youve got a. Week you so much proud of really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with. Were just to. See any very georgians you dont return to the polls to determine who the next 2 senators will be and who talked about. The population that brought your job to this lonely hes talking about organization. Georgia. Loading lighting getting communities the whole or 2 right just sort of burning and fighting Voter Suppression i was seeing today that one of the these polish and in the next. 30 to 40000 georgians to register to vote in the hopes of flipping at least one of those 2 senate seats here in georgia. For us in Atlanta Georgia many.
