KYW Campaign 2016 CBS News Coverage Of Election Night November 9, 2016

Sanchez and mark of the New York Times. The question is whats going on . Whats happening and how will it end up. This is a populous way. Were not sure if its high enough to elect donald trump yet but its a real way. It involves reaction against globalism and multiculturalism and a culture that people think is condescending. There was a movement, he saw it in brexit. It was frustrated and disappointed with the republican and Democratic Party. Its very similar. They wanted an outsider to come in and break up wash to get things moving again. Whats interesting charlie is people in these states of michigan, pennsylvania, North Carolina are deciding at the last minute they went for trump. Let me go back to scott for a call. Norah is watching these data come in, norah. Cbs news is projecting that in the state of iowa, donald trump has won. This is the state that barack obama had won in the past two elections. The demographics of the state did favor donald trump. Yes. So Barack Obamas career started by winning the craw cussion cau. But dwrud wo donald trump won td its a state demographically very much in the donald trump cam. Lets look at our Electoral College camp. Hillary clinton 197 and dropped with 228 and 270 is what you need to win. That story is going to be told over the next hour or two as we watch these very close races in these Battle Ground states. The states you see in white are those states where the polls have closed. But they are too close for us to make an estimate. Lets go back to charlie rose and our political panel. Mark, pick up where we were. Whats going on as you see it and how surprising. Well its surprising but it shouldnt be in a way because pression densprecedence is evere way. If you look at 48 hours ago there was a conventional wisdom after the second comey letter that you know maybe it would be a somewhat early evening, maybe North Carolina, florida would break fairly early. They broke the early voting patterns with a he saw for Hillary Clinton. I dont know why anyone should be surprised the people the media and the polls were wrong again. This is an incredibly unpredictable eruption. Donald trump obviously new something that the people didnt. Heres an interesting point. He knees 42 electoral votes. She needs 73, and there are 83 up for grabs. I mean he is within reach. Michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. She needs both states. She needs two of those three states. Obviously they are very big electoral votes. I mean his performance in the first part of the evening put her on the defensive and she has to hold. This is also a reflection of a lack of belief in institutions and now including polls. Polling, get out the votes operation which didnt seem to do much in this election. It conterms the suspicions of a lot of conservatives in america about the opinions being wrong, about polling bag wrong. Part of Donald Trumps appeal is the idea that there is a conspiracy of the establishment. And this look are looks like it. This is confirmation. I think they will take it as confirmation that the culture was against them. In very many ways and one thing that is cinc concinct cont trump won them within the last 30 days and within the last week in many of these Battle Ground states. Thank you. Lets go back to scott and norah. Norah you were going back through some of the exit polling data and you came across something fascinate is. This is fascinating, one of the swing dprooms weve been watching in this election is suburban women who went from bush to, i don obama won them e last election. Suburban women turned out for donald trump. In michigan hes winning them by ten points over clinton. In wisconsin, trump is winning suburban white women by seven points. In pennsylvania trump is winning suburban white women by two points. In ohio he is winning by ten points. He has managed to keep suburban women in his column in those particular states that also helps drive him in florida. So that is part of his coalition tonight. When you say that, its a very big surprise considering Donald Trumps track roar that many people felt that he was insensitive and inappropriate. Republicans dominate in the suburbs so that part makes sense. Witbut Bob Schieffer some people are sprezzed he is doing so well among women. That would be the big surprise of the night if this proves to be the difference if this was suburban women because people thought it would go just the other way. We were very close here and we need to emphasize here, this could still go either way. But donald trump is now by my count 42 votes away from having the 270 he needs. And you can see that on the faces of the people at the clinton Election Night watch party here in new york city. Nancy cordes is there. Nancy, tell us about the mood. Its not the reason that you see so many shell shocked faces here is because these are very intense supporters. They are long time volunteers and they know exactly what was a loss in wisconsin would mean. It would almost certainly preclude Hillary Clinton from getting to the 270 electoral votes she needs. And so this is really a stunner. The last time that Hillary Clinton was in wisconsin, we just checked was april 2nd. Seven months ago. So a site ric tight race was noe radar screen at all. The Clinton Campaign was thaty earlier in the night. They were quite quiet but i got through to a clinton aide who says they do believe they will pull out a victory in michigan and in wisconsin at the end. He pointed out that a lot of votes in Madison Wisconsin are still. Its a college town a lot of young voters there and a lot of votes in detroit issue are still out, obviously the states largest city with a large proportion of african and mexican voters. This is a real shock for the Clinton Campaign. Even in michigan they were so confident that Hillary Clinton didnt go to visit there since her convention until a couple days ago. Nancy cordes thank you. In the state of georgia, cbs news projects that donald trump is the winner. Another Battle Ground state calls, although georgia has been a reliably republican state in past president ial elections. Now donald trump is getting very close to the 270 that he needs to win the presidency. He is at 244. Hillary clinton 197. Ands as you know 270 again needed to win the presidency. Major garrett is at trump headquarters tonight. Major. So scott and norah, over the last three or four days donald trump has worked at break neck pace. Five, six rallies a day going to Battle Ground states drawing enormous crowds, crowds that sometimes would wait six or seven hours for him to show up. If theres one thing that people close to donald trump have told me through the this campaign it is this. That all the polling modeling for this election would be off, skewed in the wrong direction, not capturing the voters who are showing up at these ram ease and the trump rallies and the trump people were certain would show up to vote. Anyone who stands in line for seven hours to not see a concert and not be fed is going to show up at a polling booth and cast a ballot. It is that underlying assumption that in more than one Battle Ground state has proven to be true. When we arrived in michigan over the weekend and there was a crowd of 10,000 people waiting for donald trump, they were screaming their heads off relentlessly through his speech and i thought to myself a rally in Sterling Heights michigan organized in less than 24 with this kind of crowd he may have a chance in michigan. He may not win michigan but those were visible in rallies in wisconsin, pennsylvania, certainly in florida and North Carolina. One last point. If there was one application of a previously successful republican president ial campaign that trump took on board it is george w. Bush in 2004. That was that theory. Drive up the republican vote in the reddish part of each and every battleground states. Dont worry about the suburbs so much but go with the republican votes totals are richest, plentiful and drive that autopsy as best you can. Rural areas of North Carolina, florida, pennsylvania, wisconsin. That approach may in fact be vindicated in the not too distant future. Thats the discussion perfectly Major Garrett. Donald trump is now just 26 votes away from winning the presidency. Lets look at those three blue states, that blue wall that donald trump homes to pierce tonight. First the state of wisconsin. The badger state. Thats 10 electoral votes. That is 10 electoral votes and we have wisconsin now as edge republican. In the state of there we go. Theres wisconsin and as you can see the margin there, votes still being counted and we give that edge republican. Pennsylvania. People are watching basically in will walk e county and deign county. Watching them as they watch Fairfax County and virginia and just democrats are hoping that in those two places, the democratic vote comes home. But right now it looks like wisconsin is slipping away. Pennsylvania, the keystone state. The Clinton Campaign had felt confident about the state of pennsylvania. 20 electoral votes. That is at this hour a toss up, the state of pins. Pins pennsylvania. Then the state of michigan which donald trump made a late play for, state of michigan 16 electoral votes and at this hour michigan is a toss up. We started with 13 Battle Ground states this evening that could go either way. Now there are only six and the remaining three include arizona which we still estimate as a toss up but donald trump does have a numerical lead there right now. There is nevada which we have estimated leans democratic. That could change but Hillary Clinton does have a lead there now. And then finally New Hampshire which we estimate is a toss up still. Donald trump slightly ahead in the vote count there with 68 of the vote having been counted at this point. Bob schieffer. Well, i mean this could come down to New Hampshire with its four electoral votes. But there are many ways now, not many but a number of ways now that donald trump could get to 270. And you know, you look at wisconsin ten votes, pennsylvania, 20 votes, michigan 16 votes. That would do it for him. John, is it possible at this point because it has never been true until now that donald trump has more paths to the whitehouse than Hillary Clinton does. It looks like it because again if arizona goes in the trump category as history would suggest it might and the finding and win conson she has to hold on to wisconsin and pennsylvania. Those are places he is putting pressure on her that Hillary Clinton has to hold. So if you were just to vantage by where the vote is now, it looks like hes got the edge in terms of the possible pathways to the end. And michigan would do it. Michigan and wisconsin would do it. Pennsylvania. Either one of them. The immigration state has crashed because theres been so many inquiries about moving to canada. It reminds me of brexit vote happened. I never lied to you Bob Schieffer. I have to check my sources. It reminds me of when the brexit vote it was going no way no way. There are 49 Million People in this country that are very happy with this outcome. That should not be overlooked. He has a huge following and his message rest nated from the very beginning. Just to go back to something that was being talked about earlier with charlie. This is not only, in the night goes Donald Trumps way, this is not only a victory for his theory of the country not only a victory for him and the people who support him but kind of a cultural victory we did it our way. And it looked like it might be paying off. And thats affirming at a kind of tear leve deeper level than. This is a vote against washington. Thats what this is. Were going to go inside those numbers in wis conson now which is of course a toss up. Anthony mason will have more from the exit polls in wisconsin, how its going there and how that mote might end up by the end of the night. A quick break, well be right back. Back now with Election Night on cbs. At this hour donald trump has opened a significant lead over Hillary Clinton. Her pathways to the whitehouse have begun to dramatically narrow. Anthony sal, show me how donald trump wins. Well pennsylvania is still in play. If he were to get that, michigan, all of these states. Wisconsin is still in play. All of these states with extra padding to go would get him up over the 270 he needs, scott. What path does Hillary Clinton still have. Shes still got a chance in pennsylvania and all these states we havent projected yet. Then she would have to go and get nevada. Thats steel not enough. Thats still not enough. Shes got to hang on to minnesota and New Hampshire too. Show stilshe still has a path ie states that are at least toss ups but ill tell you its not a good sign because if she were doing well tonight, these stages would have been projected blue. They are reliably blue in other elections earlier. So donald trump is winning or at least holding Hillary Clinton off in states we would have called hours ago for the democrats in another election. Exactly. In fact if you wanted, i can take you inside a couple of these states and ill give you a hint as to why. Do you want to stop. We have to cut away to a break right now. Well be right back with all of the latest information. Its Election Night on cbs. From cbs3 Eyewitness News. This is a campaign 2016 Election Night update im Ukee Washington.

Jessica dean is with the Clinton Campaign in new york right now. Lets check in. Reporter its the electoral vote. Thats what gets you into the presidency.

In fact, here, the room is full but you can almost here a pin drop in the sense theyre all watching tv waiting for more results to come in in some of these battleground states. Again, clintons path getting more and more narrow. I want to go across town to Natasha Brown who was at the trump headquarters and natasha probably the opposite feeling over there. Absolutely. The sentiment and mood couldnt be more different at trump headquarters at mid town manhattan. The crowd growing by the minute.
