Joe biden has officially become the president elect for the United States it was saturday when that announcement was made by a number of media organizations after biden secured more than 270 electoral votes enough to put him over the top he spoke in wilmington delaware tonight alongside the 1st Vice President of the United States come all the harris 1st woman ever to ascend to the position of Vice President heres what harry had to say in introducing the new president have elected a president who represents the best and.

America and the new president elect biden took to the stage tonight talked about the need for the nation to heal to come together and to be ready to move into a new chapter. Joe biden becomes the oldest person ever to be elected president of the United States 5 days after voting 1st closed heres some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. Theyve delivered a clear victory a Convention Victory a victory. For we the people weve won with the most rooms ever crash of president ial ticket in the history of the nation 74 you. Know obviously this call doesnt come without controversy as i said a number of media organizations made this call but it doesnt officially become official until the. Vote is certified across the United States in 50 different states and that wont happen over the course of a number of days in the meantime on monday the Trump Campaign continues to push against this and will file a number of lawsuits in court including in michigan in pennsylvania in arizona in nevada in all of those states the president s team is claiming there has been rampant and widespread voter fraud in the fraud to actually overturn the election heres what the president had to say tonight we all know why joe biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over now to be clear its very difficult to have enough of these cases to be able to actually overturn the results of an election because its more than just being able to prove fraud you would also have to be able to prove that there was enough fraud to actually change the outcome of the election and how far does it go does it go all the way to the u. S. Supreme court in each one of these individual states that remains to be seen but in the meantime it seems that President Trump is not yet conceding the race to president elect biden we should also mention that as these cases go forward there is some precedent for this back in the year 2000 when al gore and george w. Bush ran against each other there was only one state that was ultimately contested that was the state of florida that race went on for 37 days while the new ballots were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of these Different Court challenges across the nation im been swan. Now on to lansing michigan where hundreds of Trump Supporters turned out on the streets protesting against what they called a rigged election things got ugly when they were met by counter protesters. The. Rich. Men wearing trump shirts could. The seen landing blows on someone backed against a car before others intervened more than 500 people gathered waving trunk flags wearing maggette hats and chanting slogans such as 4 more years. While trump has returned to the white house following Media Projections calling the race for biden he was given the Cold Shoulder as he entered washington. As the president ial motorcade entered the Nations Capital it was met by boos with demonstrators chanting loser trump spent saturday morning taking some time out at the golf course and so far refused to concede and is promising continued legal challenges its been an election season that seemingly deepen the rifts and division of u. S. Society the 2 camps are out in their hundreds in support of biden and trump right now with crowds gathering in washington d. C. New york philadelphia and other major cities across the country delays and claims of voter fraud have created rifts and raised questions about the u. S. Democratic system weve got reaction from people in new york. Because the whole mess go annoying you know. Youve got to do what better put it people the American People you know just what the book put American People and what the right person is in a sea thats going to go put a people of america that dish out is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody went for on this country so i think hes already proven himself to be a threat to democracy my whole is that we can get past. This all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country is no rule of law and at this point even though hes going to losses which is probably going to delay the presidency and from hes frightened he needs to find out what hes fighting for because to be some kind of fronts in this country so we need to make sure there is for democracy i think theres a murderer who who remains my whole point is that i hope where were we the people have freedom job. Maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. Earlier my colleague sausage taylor and i put the election outcome up for debate with a couple of our guests. Weve had media lie to us over the last 4 years extensively and so im not very surprised that the media is calling an election which has yet decided once all the legal votes are counted certainly then someone will have a right to pop some quirks but for right now its a little premature at this point in time what were looking at simply is the math the math is simply not there anymore and were this president to clean and iraq for you regularity the bath is not there for him to be what appears to be president you left bodies lead in states like pennsylvania georgia in the bottom and potentially arizona do you think there needs to be some serious changes or serious political overhaul after this 2020 lection i think the system works and i think i think it will work itself out i think our electoral system works i think that our Electoral College works i believe in it when it doesnt work for my party and i believe in it when it does work for my party i also feel the same way about our rule of law and about our constitution and about our court system which will sort out this election as well i think that its time for us to look at that and to look at new systems that are going to make sure that the jordie of the peoples votes is that much is the will of the majority of the people thats not the key its right now we were able to engineer victories when the majority of the people. Have not voted for particular candidate and thats going to continue to be a problem if we are indeed seeing sort of the waning days of the troubles presidency a lot of people have blamed him for the divisiveness on polarize ation in society in jena do you think that he is to blame and i think that the evidence speaks for itself that he is gaining the president is gaining minority votes intros and i dont believe that were seeing the waning days of his presidency i believe were seeing the beginning of the 2nd term of his presidency and i believe that youll only see him bringing together more and more people no other president all these other democrat and republican i might add administrations have said they were going to do all these things for minority populations they have it i will agree with that madam done. I did not create the did business of this country but did benefit from the the business of this country and utilize the business of this country i think that this country was founded on freedom and free markets and thats whats beautiful about this country is that we can come together as Martin Luther king jr sad people not by the color of their skin but the content of their character i hope we can get there we have to stop deodorizing in theater ties with Martin Luther king when it seems as yes it was founded on free markets and that commodity of the free market were slaves and we have to be honest and tell the full story and thats going to be the process of us maybe being able to come together we cant have Justice Without peace but we cant have peace or Justice Without truth. Now the reaction to joe bidens projected victory has gone far beyond the u. S. With a range of World Leaders sending their congratulations to both biden and come all of heris european politicians were among the 1st to react to the projections earlier Charlotte Dubinsky told my colleague saw taylor about what was said. He does in europe have been quick to flock to congratulate biden on his victory will start off with vanderlyn who is the European Commission president she offered her warm congratulations to the Biden Harris Team and she talked about the u. S. And the e. U. As being allies and friends Sebastian Kurtz who is the austrian chancellor tweeted about the shared values between the 2 countries. Prime minister talked about the us being able to count on italy is being a solid hour like an evening there was a note from here in stoltenberg who is the chief of nato saying that he knows that joe biden is a strong supporter of the Organization Also congratulations coming through from the Prime Minister of the u. K. The french president and the german chancellor congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the United States and to come our harris on her historic achievement the u. S. Is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from Climate Change to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and come all of ours we have a lot to do to overcome todays challenges lets Work Together i look forward to future cooperation with President Biden our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master of the great challenges of our time well so much congratulations but lets be clear not everybody is going to be welcoming a biden presidency and one persons perhaps not feeling too great about that right now is the slovenian Prime Minister who this week could actually tweeted that he was congratulating trump for his win hes also talked about biden in the past suggesting that biden as president would be one of the weakest u. S. President s in history but lets not forget he has a personal ties in the game he. Because milan a trump the current 1st lady is of course from slovenia we heard there about reaction from my callers so lets take a look how to biden presidency change relations with germany for example well im glad merkel is a staunch politician somebody who would work with anyone and weve seen her try to work with trump over the last few years but clearly germany is hoping for easier relations in the next 4 years it wants to perhaps strengthen the transatlantic cooperation between the 2 countries some of the issues that germany is going to be most concerned about is the fact of the trade was that donald trump was famously have these trade wars with the e. U. Over various issues theres also the issue of the nude stream to this gas pipeline coming straight from russia into germany the u. S. Currently has sanctions on companies that are working with that and theyre also the bigger issues issues of nato iran all of these germany will be hoping that they will be able to work with an ally we know that obviously over the last couple of years weve seen how trial has been pulling out of some International Agreement so the Paris Climate Accords that drew a lot of criticism of the Iran Nuclear Deal how do you think biden coming into the oval office could see things change getting the e. U. All hope that maybe some decisions will be even reversed well we know already that biden has been incredibly clear what t. Makes of some of these agreements you mentioned that the Paris Climate Accord donald trump famously pulled the u. S. Out of saying he wasnt happy with it that sort of caused a bit of a fraction in the relationship between him and frances president a man you are not corn now biden has been clear that the 1st day of his presidency he would reenter into that agreement and in fact thats one of the things that many of the european leaders the m. P. C. Any piece of been talking about on social media. It is the fact that theyre welcoming that the u. S. Would be back it would be their part of the paris climate to quote in regards to the Uranium Nuclear deal again not something that trump pulled the u. S. Away from something that was negotiated and the Obama Presidency when of course joe biden was Vice President so there is that joe biden if he is the 46. 00 president of the u. S. Will be somebody who will want to go back to the negotiating table and trying to smooth over those relations but there is a big concern here that if biden is the 46 president hes going to have so much on his plate when it comes to domestic issues whether thats the fallout from the election with of thats the 1000 pandemic whether thats the economy that europe may be waiting before those issues are dealt with. Now to get some insight into the u. S. Election situation we go live now to Joseph Gregory mahoney president professor of politics at east China Normal University joseph thank you very much for joining us on the program now the Trump Campaign is filing lawsuits over alleged voter fraud connected to mail in ballots and the exclusion of republican observers do you think this is a threat to joe bidens apparent victory. I dont think its a real threat at all whether or not trump himself knows this its seems obvious at this point that his operatives do you know what we were seeing in the past week that trump ministration was filing lawsuits to stop vote counts when he was holding slim leads and now that hes fallen behind now hes hes saying lets count all the votes so i dont see how this is going to play out i dont see any credible legal expert that says that they have a chance to actually work the election. Lawsuits at this point so i think that what were seeing is the end result. Whether or not it does have a positive or negative effect on the outcome of the election we can go back to actually trump winning in 2016 when this had a lot of legal scrutiny around it and a years long investigation actually so do you think perhaps the political establishment is going to conduct a similar type of investigation thats going to be really drawn out the same as in 2016 well i think we have to understand what precisely you mean by that if you mean that did did the trump of ministration pursue a lot of investigations over alleged voter fraud by the democrats and 26 think that was the case but there were no substantial there was never any is essential evidence or convictions in that direction will be so you potential biden presidency pursuing claims against republicans i dont think so and certainly i dont think well see much against democratic efforts because again we havent seen any real credible evidence even from the Top Administration despite trying claiming to the contrary that there have been serious. Irregularities. Well if the current election situation has proven anything its that america is in a very divisive time in its history joe biden is calling for unity now he says that he will be the president for all americans but what about his strong anti trump rhetoric before the election to what extent do you think he can mend the divisions in Society Given that more than 70000000 votes went to donald trump. Well you know the number one vote getter in American History is joe biden and number 2 is donald trump in this election the electorate is very evenly split. Performed expectations we would be a lot of people thou
