Im going to philly hello and welcome joe biden has been declared the winner of the u. S. President ial election did 9 donald trump a 2nd term by the schedule to deliver an address to the nation any moment now from his hometown delaware where an outdoor stage has been set up in a parking lot the victory for biden and his running mate come on harris came after 4th tens days of ballot counting and a handful of battleground states and sylvania finally pushed him past the 270 Electoral College votes you need it to win the race for the white house. Were seeing live pictures right now coming out of wilmington delaware where people are celebrating the victory of joe biden and camelot harris and a short while theyre expected to take the stage and address the nation for the 1st time as president elect and Vice President elect. Chorused how my hair is this making History Today as the 1st woman and woman of color to become Vice President elect of the United States. Joining me here in the studio is William Cooper out of our us Elections Team and wilmington delaware is correspondent all a very solid all over lets start with you by Just Moments Away from walking out onto that stage behind you as president elect describe the mood over there. Its a very festive atmosphere youre called people are celebrating up in celebrating throughout the whole day of course right now if you can see those youre right behind me theres a big screen set up and its so overall hundreds that have gathered we have to stress that there are very strict coded rules in place so its not an event a mega event of thousands that you would usually expect but of course for the people of wilmington and of surrounding areas if youre awaiting to celebrate the president elect as hes going to address the nation in a little while from now what can we expect do you think in joe bidens speech. Oh it will be a speech of unity a message of unity bringing the United States together joe biden inherits a country that is deeply divided as you know and that is facing a very difficult and challenging year of the Global Pandemic of course that hit the United States particularly hard but then of course also the rhetoric under president almost trump Rhetoric Division hatred that has drifted basically to the political aisle to pollute to pollute. Further apart we had riots on the streets racial unrest people demanding Police ReformPolice Violence against black people the black lives Matter Movement all those all those challenges basically as well as joe biden is facing but at the same time he will deliver his message of peace. Unity and really trying to heal this nation that is suffering a lot. And lets come to you for a 2nd because this message of healing the nation and hes been repeating that over and over throughout the campaign thats quite a task now isnt it isnt it strikes me almost as more of a wish or a pleading then something he can actually deliver on hes of course going to try were going to i think go back to more of the traditional president ial rhetoric that weve long heard that donald trump really veered away from in his 4 years but that doesnt mean its going to happen i mean we saw Barack Obamas term brought about his era his 2 terms you know Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader a republican Senate Majority leader he said his only his top goal at that time was to make a broch obama a one term president thats very very strong divisive partisan rhetoric from the leader of a senate whose job is actually is to pass bills passed laws to be affective and to make america to make a country a better place and now Mitch Mcconnell is still the senator probably going to be still be. In the senate assuming the republicans can hold on to the senate where theyll be a special election on january 6th or the 2 georgia senators so we could be very much looking at this same kind of clash between joe biden democrats in the white house and in the house of representatives the republicans blocking things in the senate and how about. The nation politics aside people families that dont talk to each other anymore because theyre so defiant about the politics in the country. How do you think. Well move forward if we just a couple of minutes ago we saw. A pro biden supporter saying that. He really just this is that these bridges could could be rebuilt what do you think its been a very stressful time especially for families and communities that are split you know these like wars that we saw where you have neighbors putting out increasingly elaborate signs for biden or for trump its its so sad that everything has become so political you know america is such a diverse country in so many different ways not just in terms of race and ethnicity the ways we traditionally think of diversity but just all kinds of ways of thinking and living. And its a shame that as a result you have a country that politically expresses those that diversity with just 2 choices red and blue republican and democrat and that so many so many cultural ways of expressing yourself or cultural ways of connecting with people have become so politicized that you know we might both like coffee but if youre a republican mama democrat im not going to drink coffee with you i mean thats an absurd ridiculous and very sad state of affairs and i would be nice to be able to see in any country as were seeing now in the United States if we can go back to some way where culture and politics can maybe be split apart a bit more. All over this is his story today for the Vice President. Well come on here is the 1st woman of color to hold the office shell also be speaking tonight right. Looks like we lost all over there in wilmington delaware because everyones on their instagram with a for you know. The motorcade is just the. Very moment you will. So were going to hear from joe bob any time soon. All right we cant see him just yet. Well wait and see what detail. They set it up as a drive in to be able to sit to coronavirus guidelines and not endanger those who want to come and celebrate but were seeing the motorcade and alter the premises right now oh. Lovely Wayne Williams why dont we talk about. A way there is a lot that needs to be fixed in the United States theres some old cheney is crazy is going on. What will be on the top of the Biden Harris Administration lets well as biden himself or said during the Campaign Nothing happens without giving a corona virus or control more people are still going to die and theyre still going to be Economic Hardship politically speaking if joe biden cant get this under control quickly enough the crisis that was donald trump just quickly going to become the price of joe biden as we see republicans trying to hit him hard on that. So coronavirus you know maybe hopefully getting a vaccine you know finally getting enough people more people to believe in all the mass where having universal guidelines no longer me. Lading you know information out of the c. D. C. The f. D. A. You know the government bodies that really have the science on keeping people safe so coronavirus hopefully getting an economic stimulus package by it is going to want to get you know something that donald trump himself wanted and the senate the Republican Controlled Senate democrat controlled house couldnt agree on. And we needed to you know thats where were going to go with the with the economic stimulus and then longer term Climate Change you know joe bidens been very clear that he wants to make Climate Change big issue for him and that to be treated almost like the christ the coronavirus is being treated. Right while we wait for joe biden to take the stage i believe we can bring in email us all of. Our Washington Bureau chief and shes standing by outside the white house in washington. Are you there. Im here yes. You may be here the fireworks are. What do you think people where you are one to hear from joe biden when he takes the stage and just a short time. This indeed i mean people who are on the streets here since hours the moment the news kind of spreads joe biden will be the next president of the United States and room move into the white always just right behind me people who went to the streets here of washington d. C. And started to celebrate but i have to say the mood is changing a little bit in the last hours i mean its you know its 8 oclock so molecule is involved the younger crowd its kind of you know i shouldnt say the younger of crowds the families kind of left and there are more majority. Young people closer to the white house we just saw some fireworks and so i think this all leads to probably the main message joe biden will deliver tonight im sure he wants to reach out to everybody in the United States and the ones to send out the message please people stay calm dont go over the top we have to bring this country together because we must keep in mind more than 17000000 of americans voted for donald trump and thats actually more than the amount of code so president barack obama gods when he won the white house in 2009 that is a lot of people more than 70000 to 70000000 americans are very very disappointed at that very moment and this is the crowd and joe biden also has to reach out to i mean sure he will thank his voters he wrote senator craig of those people here but he has to kind of try and least to narrow the gap between these 2 groups some supporters and biden supporters and you who are following the election in 2016 and you are again now can you tell us maybe in your own impression how has the country changed in those 4 years. Very much so and so the narrative of donald trump like this is lets make America Great again oh lets put america 1st relieved divided the United States even more so than it has ever been i mean as we just learned from william in the studio it always has kind of divided nation that theres a lot to do with the political system we only have 2 major parties so people have to decide whether they go republican or democrat and. Parties are not to be needs to build a coalition as we know it for example from germany or from many other European Countries the needs to build a Political Coalition kind of forces the politicians to go forward to find compromises this is not the case here so the country is facing a huge huge split there is a lot of racism going on which donald trump kind of them allowed people to do to live off again and this is a huge problem here and this whole idea of making America Great again means for many people lets make america whites who can or i should probably rather say lets keep White American in power because we know than in less than 20 years the majority of the White Americans will be over for good and this is what many of from supporters of fearing and thats different from 4 years ago when i covered the last elections Hillary Clinton running against donald trump all right ines paul thank you so much always a pleasure talking to you and standing by in washington d. C. Lets talk now to some we so mask on that shes in our studio in washington sumi and were about to hear from joe biden are we going to hear from dollar trump at all. Well it doesnt appear to be the case so what weve heard today is that the white house has put a lid on president trying for the day that means he will not speak to the media will not speak to the public we will not hear from the president himself that being said we have heard from him over twitter today so earlier in his 1st tweet since the news came through that joe biden was then the president elect we saw President Trump take to twitter again to repeat those unsubstantiated claims about illegal voting and voter fraud taking place in this election we also saw the trump team before President Trump remember he was out at a golf course in virginia earlier in the day well before he left that golf course he had a seam huddle there at that golf course in virginia put together stay
