What a long, long journey down the campaign trail it has been. Our cover story is reported by martha teichner. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Reporter is it really all over . We have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. Theyre americans reporter after a wild week of waiting, president elect joe biden delivered his victory speech last night in wilmington, delaware. This is a time to heal in america. President trump this is a major fraud on our nation. Reporter President Trump has not called to congratulate biden. He has not seeded to defeat. President trump ultimately, i have a feeling judges are going to have to rule. Cbs news has learned the president vows to keep fighting the results in court and will not concede. Reporter whether a president , unwilling to go down without a fight, will get his ultimate wish. President trump so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court. Reporter what we do know is what we saw for ourselves. President trump this will be the most important election in the history of our country. This is the most important election of our lifetimes. Reporter the candidates framing the stakes in this election. Never mind the threat of coronavirus. We saw long lines at polling places. Ballots cast in numbers demonstrating how intensely republicans and democrats both believe that the course of our democracy was, indeed, on the line. Voter participation was the highest in more than a century. And the outcome. What is extraordinary about this election is despite a pandemic, a Great Depression levels of unemployment, huge turmoil, an impeachment before that, you have ended up seeing the partisan divide as deep, as rooted as ever. Reporter journalist farid zacaria. In some ways the pandemic has been a great reveal ler. Er. What the pandemic has revealed, perhaps more than anything else, is were really two countries. Reporter so no Real Movement across the ideological divide. Think world war i trench warfare, advances and retreats measured in feet, stalemates, but a war just the same. When have you ever seen plywood, think about that for a second, after an election day . Reporter new yorks times square boarded up. An unscalable call around Donald Trumps white house. Armed protestors. Describe an emotion you felt this past week anxiety, fear of what might happen . 50 years ago, when i moved to the u. S. From lebanon, i never thought i would be concerned about violence, conflict, and even bloodshed in this country. Rporter harara balion heads the conflict Resolution Program at the Carter Center in atlanta, which has monitor more than 100 elections worldwide. What ive seen around the world is far, far more violent, bloody, destructive conflict and civil war. Were not there. But, nonetheless, that is not to say we should not be concerned. I think americans should be worried about the fabric of our society really fracturing. We havent crossed that line, it hasnt fractured yet. But were not too far from that. Reporter this is the united states. That couldnt happen here, could it . Hypothetically, yes. Reporter yesterday morning at 10 36 washington time, donald trump, en route from the white house to his virginia golf course, tweeted this cbs news projects that joe biden has been elected the 46th president of the united states. Reporter within an hour, news organizations, including cbs, called the election for joe biden and Kamala Harris. We did it, joe. Youre going to be the next president of the united states. [applause] reporter a National Party erupted across the united states. Not celebrating. The roughly 70 million americans who voted for President Trump. We want trump reporter how many of them no longer trust the legitimacy of the process . Such as this man in georgia, echoing the president s words. It almost seemed like they were waiting to see how many votes trump had, and then they would count the rest to make sure biden had just enough. Reporter what is the longterm cost to our democracy . Widespread doubt . Our work is hard for those who didnt vote for me as those who did. Let this grim era of demonization in america begin to end here and now [applause and cheering] reporter how likely is it that joe biden will convince nearly half the electorate that he is their president , too. Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses, and what president s say in this battle matters. It is time for better angels to prevail. Im not going to be a pollyanna. This is going to be one of the hardest things weve had to do as a republic, which is to tone things down. Reporter longtime political commentator joe klein. Job number one, probably for joe biden, it looks like, but also for the congress and the courts and for us as citizens, is to figure out ways to reach out to each other and start conversations. Reporter and what are the chances of that happening . Or. They deserve a minimum wage of 15. Im going to ask big corporations and the super wealthy to begin to start to pay their fair share. Reporter the issues biden campaigned on actually getting passed unless the democrats can flip the senate, likely only if they win both georgias runoff votes in january. President elect bidens agenda will hit a formidable red wall there, by the mai name of Mitch Mcconnell. The same Mitch Mcconnell who set out to make barack obama a oneterm president. The same Mitch Mcconnell who sabotaged Barack Obamas court pick, merrick. For the moment, the g. O. P. Still sounds like the party of trump. But. I dont think you can underestimate the incredible power that a president has in setting style for the country. Just look at what donald trump has done. I think that if you have a different president setting the tone, there are things that are going to change. Reporter the dozens and dozens of executive orders and regulatory rollbacks President Trump signed into affect with the stroke of his pen, joe biden plans to start undoing them on day one, january 20th. Youre going to start paying your fair share. Reporter he is expected to reengage with the world, all be it, a weary world. The world has seen there is this backlash in america. So it wont be able to forget it. Joe biden can demonstrate that there are two americas, and one does want to be engaged. He can move aggressively and intelligently, but it wont change the fact that people have seen that other america, and they know its lying there, maybe dormant for now. But it could rear its head again. Tonight the hold world is watching america. Reporter trying to read joe biden and Kamala Harris after their historic victory. Well lead not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. Reporter biden won with more votes, 74 million and counting, than any american president ever. While i may be the first woman in this office, i will not be the last. Reporter harris will be the first woman, the first person of africanamerican and asian descent, and the first child of immigrants to be elected vice president. Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. Its time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the tonight, see each other again, listen to each other again, and to make progress. Reporter whats the takeaway from this messy, sometimes ugly, election . It is really healthy for us to see who we are and where we are. Reporter good news, according to noted harvard historian danielle allen, author of a book about the declaration of independence. With a disagreement against the other side, a vote against the other side, but it is a vote, not a pitchfork. It is a commitment to pledge the peaceful resolution of conflict.

The source of this appeal is right there on his canvasses in black and white. As Elizabeth Palmer will show us. Reporter a centuryold Pierre Soulages, known as the master of black, may move slowly, but this outlook is bright. I have to congratulate you on reaching your 100th birthday. How have you feeling . [speaking french][speaking throh interpreter] im actually in my 101st year, so very happy. But to tell you the truth, it is not much truth than being 90. Reporter he lives in the small french town of sete in the mediterranean. In a modernist house he built with colette, his wife of 78 years. His studio is filled with his tools, many home made, and stacked of unfinished work, turned to the walls, so they dont distract them. [speaking through interpreter] i prefer to see them, otherwise they call to me. Reporter there is no question soulages paintings commend attention. Theyre big, bold, and overwhelming black. In the 1950s, soulage made a name for himself in new york, which was emerging at the center of the modern art world. [speaking french][speaking throh interpreter] i so enjoyed new york, to quote a french writer, new york is a city that stands tall. [end of translation] reporter back then, soulage was part of the avante garde, experimenting with challenging abstract forms. They revealed things that live within us, but that we might not have recognized. Reporter as a young artist, soulage did use some color. And then one morning in 1979, when he and colette were living in paris, he noticed how reflections transformed the surface of black paint. He found his medium, and began to experiment with scoring and even exult sculpting it on the canvas. Why does black move you . Because the movement is limitness. I say black, but it is light that is key. Light reflects off the canvas. That is what my work is all about. I paint with light. Reporter he calls it beyond black, the way the light turns the black to brown or gray or even shining white. Each time it is a new experiment. Reporter just before the coronavirus pandemic, soulage became only the third artist, after picasso and chagall to have a solo exhibition at the louvre during his lifetime. The way the paint is on the canvas makes the light very different, whether you are on one side or the other side, whether the light is direct or indirect. Reporter in the town of rodez, near where he was born, there is a Museum Dedicated to Pierre Soulages. It is filled with masterpiece, says the director, because soulages is a perfectionist. You can see it is gathered in the place, where he is burning the paintings. Reporter he burns the paintings he doesnt like . Yes. It is impossible to find bad pieces of soulages. Reporter he may be 100 years old, but the master of black is determined to keep painting. In his mind, it is important to prove to the world he is able now, today, to make some paintings. Reporter to keep working . Yeah. He keeps working. Reporter he relies on his assistant, ismael, and a stone he put at the studio door to worn visitors away so he can concentrate in the time that is left on the power and possibilities of black.

The largest in history. And it is still growing. More than 100 million of those votes were cast early, double the 47 million votes four years ago. A projected 66. 3 of eligible voters turned out. Up sarply from 2016. Thats the highest percentage of eligible voters since 1908. But it is also far short of the alltime largest share of voters to turn out more than 82 in the bitterly disputed election of 1876. And there is this even with president elect bidens four million vote victory margin, tens of millions3of americans voted for outgoing president donald trump. The ha. Your wayward pinky is grotesque.
