End of the first quarter. This is why people are boarding up stores. Hes b planted the seed that the election has been stolen from him. Its in the place to declare who won this election. Thats the decision of the American People. But im optimistic about this outcome. A close race for the control of senate. It seemed so promising. Tz senator rowed. Its not vanished, but it has narrowed. In arizona, montana, new jersey and south dakota. All that and becoming the first openly transgender person to be elected to that position. This is me on drugs. That seems like a good time. By drugs i mean water. In all honesty, it doesnt look like were going to know anything for sure this evening. Thats the cbs news promise. We wont know anything. Stick around. Please enjoy this brief montage of things that feel as satisfying as you want this to be. This mornings eye opener brought to you by progressive. Thank you, Stephen Colbert for that. I love the puppy getting his tummy rubbed. A great dad point of view. Welcome to cbs this morning. Were at the cbs news election headquarters. This is what it looks like when you have been up all night and slept on the couch in the green room. You wear the same clothes you had on yesterday and havent bathed and you just feel great. You feel good about yourself. Because we have a really, really big news to share with you today. You know the story by now. This is where were going to beg begin. We still do not have a winner in this president ial race. Were waiting for the votes to be count, including wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, georgia and North Carolina. Former Vice President biden took the wait in stride in remarks to supporters at a drivein rally last night. He urged parks and he expressed confidence he will win. President trump took a different approach in comments at the white house overnight. With millions of votes still to be counted, he falsely declared victory its something he promised not to do yesterday morning. Hes vowing to launch a legal challenge, potentially all the way to the Supreme Court. Ed okeefe was up all night following developments. Whats going on . Good morning, the Biden Campaign is hopeful they have a path to victory as votes are still being counted. And a handful out west. Theres still tremendous early votining to be counted. The president is arguing its over that there was widespread voter fraud. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. It aint over until every vote is count ed. Every ballot is counted. Election night saw two very different messages from two very different candidates. Speaking to a drivein crowd in delaware, joe biden called for patience. Its not my place or Donald Trumps place to declare who won this election. Thats the decision of the American People. But im optimistic about this outcome. Reporter while President Trump prematurely declared victory at the white house despite millions of votes still being counted. The citizens of this country has come out in Record Numbers. Theres never been anythig like it, to support our incredible movement. We won states we werent expected to win. Had touted in states not yet decide d and made misleading claims of voter fraud. This is a big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. We want the law to be used this a proper manner. So well be going to the u. S. Supreme court. Reporter at same time, he also called on voting to stop, even as the polls were long closed and ballots still being counted were all legally cast. We dont want them to find any ballots at 4 00 in the morning and add them to the list. Its a very sad moment. To me, this is a very sad moment. Reporter the Biden Campaign released a statement calling trumps efforts to stop the counting outrageous, unprecedented and incorrect. The campaign also said if the president makes good on his threat to go to court, they have legal teams standing by. Biden himself told supporters not to give up. Keep the faith, guys. Were going to win this. Both candidates are expressing optimism about winning the state of pennsylvania, which is worth 20 electoral votes. This morning a senior Biden Campaign official says this is moving to a conclusion and moving to a conclusion in our favor, they believe. Once the votes are counted in places like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. The numbers seem to bear that out when were looking at the map. They believe some states might get called later today. Well take our own ewes and work them through. They believe they are going to get to 270. Its going to be v r very interesting to see if we get a result today. I believe someone mentioned the map. We just happen to have it here. Pennsylvania maybe something the Trump Campaign wants and really needs. We have five states there a that are still considereds toups. If i have it correctly, michigan just a few moments ago went over to biden in an advantage. But not for the first time, hes showing a slight lead. This may jockey back and forth. What youre talking about is exactly right in the count that we have. See, this is moving as we speak. As ballots are being counted. It was 5,000. Its now 10,000. This was the margin in 2016 between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Almost exactly. Now watch this. Heres the number of ballots left to count. Thats a big number. Half a million ballots left to count. They have been cast. But Election Officials have to tally them. Lets go back to the big map showing all the states. If you are in the trump camp right now, if you aren opt the Trump Campaign, youre going to be a little bit concerned. If nevada and arizona stay with joe biden, and he takes wisconsin and michigan, where he is currently in the lead, what kind of path does the president have . The president needs to hold this 2016 map. Hold georgia, hold North Carolina and then pick off pennsylvania, maybe take michigan and wisconsin instead. So the president may have a more difficult path given just state by state. But the difference being that all of these states right now are far too close to project. Ill show you georgia. Heres a place where the president is currently leading in the vote count. But here again, looking at the number of outstanding ballots, thats a big number. Thats 400,000 well larger than the margin is right there. So well have to see. 400,000 yet to come in. Lets go back to the big map. Because nebraska is a split decision, its a unique state in that way. If joe biden takes wisconsin and georgia, which we were just talking about, he can can lose michigan and lose pennsylvania and be right at 270. And joe biden has a couple different paths through this. He has a couple different paths. He can get georgia and get wisconsin. And let me show you North Carolina. Very close between the two of them. Fpz thats the thing i want to stress. Its not unusual whoever wins for us to be sitting here on a decision desk waiting for days sometimes while Elections Officials count cast billion lots. Everybody in the wormd is watching. This is a normal process of counting that we are seeing right now. But what is exceptional is that we have so many states so close, which means were spilling over into the day after is and maybe days after to get that initial count. Thank you very much. As i stroll over to you guys, i want to talk about the count. Were talking about the first count over here. But i regret to inform you that reince priebus, former chief of staff for President Trump, is already talking object our air about a recount. A second count. His advice, gear up, america. It may be inevitable. Lets bring in correspondent john dickerson. Im getting this incredible sense of deja vu from four years ago. You have a popular vote with virtually the exact same spread between President Trump and his democratic opponent. You have a string of states where the races are too close to call. It could literally go either way. Although in some ways, youre contactually right. No some ways joe biden is in the trump position. Which is to say hes the one thats grabbing states away from donald trump. One thing that strikes me is that in michigan, pennsylvania and in wisconsin, we talk about federalism with respect to covid. Let the states do their thing. Were having the counting situation in those three date states because the states said dont start counting until the day of the election. So part of whats happening here is the result of decisions that were made by the individual legislatures and the specific states. So the voting is all done. Now the count iing is underway. What message does it send when the president calls it a fraud and an embarrassment before all the votes are even counted . It undermines the process. The democratic process gives the president authority. We hand him power through our votes. Thats the buteauty of the american system. And he is undermining that beauty by saying that the simple counting is sinister. So thats where we are. At the moment, the people in charge of doing the counting of the votes of the people trained and knowing how to do this, and we should step back and think about holy smokes, were voting in a pandemic. Its been relatively smooth until this moment which is not really so much about the challenges of counting, but the exterior emotional fuel thats being added to this political moment. The democrats went into this with extremely high hopes. And theres no question they have underperformed here. If joe biden manages to eke out a win and have the presidency, but likely not the senate, what kind of presidency is that going to be . It will be a fascinating one because he will have to work with Mitch Mcconnell, who they both believe in a senate of a different time. Now the question is whether Mitch McconnellStill Believes in that old senate, but people who clash could get things done. Well see if that still exists in this age of partisanship, where youre not allowed to work with the president of the opposite party. Because your voters will give you a primary challenge if you do. What were going to see in addition to the challenge you mentioned between the two branches of government, were going to see democrats have a battle a about what their party bloefs and also there might be a little bit of that battle on the republican side. Although whatever happens to President Trump, this is an affirmation of his politics. Last night was an affirmation of that. Affirmation was the word i was thinking. What does this say about the direction of the Republican Party . That people clearly seem to like what they say under the leadership of President Trump. Is it the rhetoric and the posturing or the tone or the policies . I think its both. The tone, lets say look at covid. We talked about this last night. The president s posture on masks is about health, but its really about dont infringe on my individual liberty. So he is in touch with something absolutely fundament a about the party. And about this country. And he got a lot of votes for people who signed up for that. They nevertheless really feel what he is talking about in a visceral way and that is where the Republican Party is are right now. Was there anything ab the results or what we know so far that surprise d you or stood ou . Florida is fascinating to me. Were going to go back and look. The fact that Hillary Clinton won miamidade by 29 points and joe biden maybe only by 8, donald trump did something to grab votes in florida. That will be interesting to look at. Forgive me for bringing up recounts, peoplen dont want to hear about it. But the Campaign Manager for donald trump just said in reference to wisconsin, were in recount territory. This is going from analysis to official approach of the Trump Campaign. What Election Officials have been telling me, there will be time for recounts. Lets count. See where we are. Then get to that. This constant preempting of it, lets just count. See where we are then. Its a conundrum for journalists because they are getting out in front. Are we going to ignore it or report it . If youre joe biden, what do you do . You stay in your lane. His lane has been let the system work, let the process work because you hope some day to be president and you hope some day to build a foundation on a calmer approach to things. So you got to behave the way you hope to preside as president. But what if that makes you a dupe. What if you should be coming out and we saw him preempt a little bit by coming out first before the president to take the posture and say lets let the system work. So that might be a way to be both being smart tactically and also staying on brand for him, which is let the system work. If he sit hits 270 in the nx 48 hours, does he come out immediately and start forming a government . Thats a really interesting question. I dont know. Thats a really interesting question. I dont think i ever heard you say i dont know. Whats the date today . I think these local officials who will be stepping into the spotlight, the secretary of state, i hope they have done their media training. They have to do they are going to speak to the American People and say this is for real. However the secretaries of state handle this is how the country is going to feel about the integrity of the system that gives the power to the next president or the sitting one. We said all along we need your patience, but no one saw this particular scenario playing out. But here we are. Thank you. Ahead, voters tell us whats on their minds we have much more news ahead. President trump gets a boost from hispanic voters. Well look at the issues that led more of them to support the republican ticket. Plus we have the latest from arizona, where joe biden could launch his final drive to 270 electoral votes today. Youre watching cbs this morning. Wee thank ywell be right back.
