A year ago, 2019, joe biden was the frontrunner for the nomination most of year. 2020 hit, he ran into some head winds. Headed into South Carolina in february 29th on life support. Rachel scott was there. Rachel . Reporter george, i vividly remember Campaign Aides holding their breath just to get to South Carolina. I interviewed joe biden just days before the South Carolina primary, and i asked him if he was dropping out of the race. He was being outfundraised, outspent, he was pushing this electability argument, but he had nothing to show for it. He was losing in those very early contests. But all of that changed during the South Carolina primary when we saw jim clyburn endorse joe biden. That really did yamm die thannics of the race. Rachel, thank you. I want to bring in thet man himself, jim clyburn. Thank you for joining us right now. Most democrats think youre a kingmaker. Thank you very much for having me. Are you pretty confident now this is wrapped up for joe biden . Im sorry, i didnt sorry, are you pretty confident now this is wrapped up for joe biden . Oh, yes, i am. I think that joe biden has run a great campaign. I think the numbers are coming in very clearly in his favor. I do believe that when things the are said and done over the next 24 hours, he will be declared the winner. All of us are looking forward to that. Joe biden is just a great guy. And exactly what the country needs at this particular point. Thats what you said back in february. Take us back to that moment. I think it was the monday before the South Carolina primary. You came out and said it was time to embrace and endorse joe biden. Walk us through your decisionmaking process. Could you imagine it would have had the impact it had . No, i did not imagine that, but i do know i was working hard to try to not only make an endorsement but to do it in such a way that it would give him a surge, which is what he needed. He had just come out of the three primaries, had lost all of them, did okay in nevada, but it was really his campaign was on life support. And i knew or at least i felt i knew that he was just the kind of guy that we needed to have an our nomination. I think joe biden could stand up to Donald Trumps insults better than anybody. He would heap insult upon anybody. But the question was, of all the candidates that we had, which one of them was best to withstand these assaults . I thought it was joe biden. And i think that my my thoughts proved to be pretty factual. Your judgment turned out to be pretty good on that. Whats the youre taking away from the Election Results four days out . Yes, sir. So what is the message youre taking away from the election four days out for congress, for democrats in the congress across the country . Well, i think that what we saw was a candidate that could really reflect what this country is all about this democracy that we have is just an experiment. And its been with us for a long, long time. But its not perfect. We are always in pursuit of a more perfect union, and i thought that we should continue that pursuit, and i just thought that joe biden would do well with that. We have for the last four years retrogression taking place in this country and what i thought we needed wuss somebody that could bring this country together. I dont understand why people keep talking about how divided this country is. This countrys always been divided. Since the blacks first came here, we had 244 years of slavery, another 100 years of aparthe apartheid. It was not until the 1954 Supreme Court decision this country really came facetoface with the things we needed to do to get beyond the racial divide in this country. And we have been doing a very good job of that for a long timtim time, but then all of a sudden now we got a president who decided that he wanted to take us back to that period in time that a lot of us would like to get behind us. And i just think and thought at that time and think to this day that joe biden has the right background, the right experience to help us continue this pursuit of a more perfect union. How do you want joe biden to pay you back . Im sorry . How do you want joe biden to pay you back . Pay me back . I dont want anything out of this. All i want is a country that my children and grandchildren can be able to develop in and be able to pursue their dreams and aspirations. I have been around im four scores. Im beyond the promise. So im not here for me. No, this is not about me at all. I think you have a lot of promise left. Congressman clyburn, thanks for joining us tonight. Thank you very much. Byron pitts, let me bring that to you. He says he doesnt want any pay back, but he made all the difference. No question. Clyburn is old school cool. He was cucumber calm during the time everyone thought joe bidens campaign was dead. He talked about the racial divide in our nation as weve talked about several nights here on the air. Today i spent time at the waters edge. Theres pain on both sides. I talked to a number of people in georgia, north carolina, who supported President Trump. People in pennsylvania who supported joe biden. And my takeaway was at least in this moment and people with getting a little impatient. They want this resolved soon, but in this moment i saw a great amount of both patience and two conversations i had with two people today. The first is a guy named tony lombardi. Ive known him since i was 13 years old. Hes a white guy who voted for donald trump because he did not trust the Democratic Party and all his concerns about socialism. So he wasnt pleased with the election about the way its going. Hears what he wrote to me. First and foremost we are americans. As such we must place our trust in a process the Founding Fathers founded otherwise we parish as a nation. I spoke with an africanamerican woman, 27 years old, who feels that fear and divide. This is a young woman who participate in the a black lives matter march in new york city. Was pushed to the ground by a new York City Police officer. This is what she was wrote. She was raised part of her life in georgia and was really exc e excited about whats happening in georgia. She wrote, the first time i saw the k kkk in full congregation s in georgia. The first time i heard a person use the n word with us in georgia. Ive always soeassociated the se with racism. That is my daughter. We all know people in our personal space who are on very different sides of the election. One of the sense we get from all people we talk to is the sense of puzzlement. I think what i heard from tony and chris and other people i talked to i dont know as well is that in this moment, theyre willing to be patient, theyre willing to, as congressman clyburn talked about, believe in the promise of america, and to give if it ends up being Vice President biden, a chance to lead this nation to a place that people on both sides of the river can feel comfortable with. And we can all hope your conversations are a good sign of where the country is right now. Byron pitts, thanks, well be right back. Hey baby, hey, hey you got me feelin punchdrunk crazy, so crazy its everything i want, now maybe, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh can we do it again .

Welcome back to our election coverage. We are where we have been for several days right now. You see right there donald trump has 214 electoral votes to 253 for joe biden. Still waiting on those states that we have been waiting for, pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia, arizona, and nevada. I want to go to arizona right now. Whit johnson is there. Whit, we have just gotten a major new drop of votes from Maricopa County, major county in arizona. Thats right, were getting numbers and di secting them right now. Marco pa county released another 73,000 ballots and donald trump has moved within one percentage point of joe biden. Biden now up by 29,000 votes. He was at 36,000 votes. So now the number of outstanding ballots across the state drops bl below 200,000. We havent been able to calculate this math yet, but coming in, donald trump needed to earn about 60 of the remaining votes in order to get the win. But right here, again, the margin continues to slim. And there are a couple of things to keep in mind here Maricopa County tells us theyre hoping to give their final round of results tomorrow morning, but there are some counties out there were not going to hear from until next week. Pinal county, which generally leans republican still has 30,000 votes out there and theyre not planning to count them other the weekend. They wont start until monday or tuesday, so we could wibe be wa for results for days. Donald trump is at the plate, down one run, but still has swings left. Nate silver about this. What do you make of those new votes . Are they coming in in a way that gives donald trump more hope . Its much more of a climax bottom of the ninth. Its been groundhog day instead. Trump needs to win new batches of votes by 15 . He won this one by 10 . You cant count him out entirely. Conservative counties with ballots out. Its the same thing. A couple of days ago he was hitting his marks. Now hes a little bit below them, but i dont think youre going the see anybody call the state until theres more of maricopa in. The counties that are coming in, particularly the county that has 30,000 votes theyre now going to have to come in above the marks that hes been hitting so far. Yeah, whats tricky is you have different ballots. Election day dropoffs. The late earlies, a handful of provisionals or election day that was kind of forgotten about here and there. Its kind of all over the place. The transparency is not agreemegreat. The numbers of how many ballots are out there are squishy. Thats why a lot of cautions on arizona. This batch lowered trumps chances but hasnt radically changed the trajectory. He has to tighten at a faster rate. He went here you have to go here. You explain it well. Lets go to matt gutman in nevada. Just got the latest count from the secretary of state. What the people at home need to know is there are 124,500 approximately ballots left to be counted. 90 of them are here in clark county. Again, this is where joe biden has been leading donald trump by about a 21 margin, so again, heavily favors joe biden at this point. Now, its just i think its worth noting how up and down the numbers have been just over the past four hours. Ive received four sets of numbers. Its been all over the map, partly because earlier today, clark county election registrar said they overcounted about 20,000 ballots, overestimated the amount left here. They rejiggered the numbers. Now they think theyve got it. Bottom line, lots of votes left to be counted which heavily favors the Vice President , and joe bidens team thinks that they have this locked up, george. Nate silver thinks that as well, so im not going to go back to him. But i am going to go to Steve Osunsami in atlanta. We have seen joe biden expand his lead over the today. Were talking about the provisional ballots and maybe a recount. The military ballots had to be in by 5 00 today. They had to be postmarked by election day, but they have slightly different rules than some of the other ballots. There is a large universe of military and overseas ballots, but like i said earlier, one county we checked with said only about half of the balls came in. Ive heard you talk about the provisional ballots. Those are being counted as well, a ballot where a voter had an issue that couldnt be solved. They were given a temporaryish ballot and the decision would be made today if those would count. Theyre being counted. Were seeing something that is explaining how difficult this is, and that is that even tonight, counties that have already reported are reporting an additional numbers, some from the provisional ballots, some from the overseas ballots. Were going to keep seeing this happen perhaps for the next couple of days as they continue to count. The secretary of state is hoping here to have what theyre calling more final numbers tomorrow, but we all know this is going to a recount. I will say, george, one thing the secretary of state said earlier this week, because of the way the votes are tabulate here, he didnt think that even with a recount, which has to be requested by one of the candidates, that it would change the vote totals that much, and thats something to remember. It is. Steve osunsami, thanks very much. Were going to get results from pennsylvania right after this commercial. That came from me. Really. My first idea was in one quarter of an hour, your savings will tower. Over you. Figuratively speaking. But thats not catchy, is it . Thats not going to swim about in your brain. So i thought, what about. 15 minutes. 15 percent. Serendipity. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. Weresidue . . Serendipity. Spots . Its not your dishwashers fault. Simply add finish jetdry 3in1 to rinse dry and shine your dishes. Solve three problems at once with finish jet dry 3in1. Back now, election 2020. Its friday night and its looking increasingly clear were not going to have any final projections tonight. I want to bring in rick klein, our capitol hill director. Why . We had high hopes for a lot of new information out of nevada and we didnt get the numbers we were expecting. Out of arizona we got significant new data but it got the margin closer. Doesnt mean the final result is going to be closer it just means were not seeing enough to advance the ball and pennsylvania, of course, the big prize, still on the board and the margin remained too close for comfort given the number of uncounted ballots and provisional ballots still lingering out there. In facting in fa in fact, a close alley of joe biden, chris coons said he doesnt think theyre going to see it tonight, but they have eyes on tomorrow potentially putting him over the top. What level of certainty are the news organizations looking for . The way we handle it, we want 99. 5 certainty. We want to know for sure. We also want to know the margin is big enough it wont be in pursuit. Those are the two standards that make it difficult. Were looking at the numbers. We want to see what the actual vote is. The American People have voted and the count is happening exactly as it was opposed to happen. Thats why were taking our time. Marry alice parks . Joe biden has been presenting calm, but his staff is nervous. They know they need to get these statements right. They dont want to look like theyre claiming a victory that isnt there. Theyre worried if it stretches on for days it allows a vacuum for the president to muddy the waters. One final question for you are we being too cautious . Or given the stakes is that the right choice . You said youre pretty clear on arizona nevada and georgia right now. Do i think joe biden has a chance of winning pennsylvania 99. 5 . No, i do not. But sit hard. Its a lot of pressure to distinguish the merely unlikely from almost impossible, is really hard. I dont envy anybody in the process, but i would not think trump has a 0. 5 chance. Its lower than that. Well be right back. Snooifrmgts shingles when im your age. Actually, if youre 50 or older, youre at increased risk thats life, nothing you can do. Uh, shingles can be prevented.
