Involve pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. Right . Do they have a similar electorate in those states . John . Yes, they do. Its that noncollege bluecollar population. What makes pennsylvania a little bit different, is i mean pennsylvania and michigan the coalition for Hillary Clinton would have to be africanamericans, college suburban educated women. In michigan she won it by five points. College educated women. So thats not a huge amount for her. Whereas in, in pennsylvania, she is up by 14 points. With College Educated women. So that would she would have wanted a bigger margin with that group. By the way, giving her maine, continues allowing the possibility of the screen writers, 269269 Electoral College tie. Since we just called maine for Hillary Clinton. The clinton team and watch party was assembled at the Javits Center in new york two miles from where the trump team was gathered. The clinton team choosing the place because the Javits Center has a glass ceiling. The clinton team wanting to make. Symbolism there. To place cracks in the glass ceiling, that has the not occurred as of 2 00 in the morning on the east. So, the Clinton Campaign chairman john podesta left the hotel. Here he is to address the crowd. Lets listen. Thank you. Well, folks, i know you have been here a long time. And its been a long night. And its been a long campaign. But i can say, we can wait a little longer, cant we . Theyre still counting votes. And every vote could count. Several states are too close to call. So we are not going to have anything more to say tonight. So, listen listen to me. Everybody should head home. You should get some sleep. Well have more to say tomorrow. I want you to know i want every person in in this hall to know, i want every person across the country to support who supported hillary to know that your voices and your enthusiasm mean so much to her and to tim and to all of us. We are so proud of you. And we are so proud of her. She has done an amazing job and she is not done yet so, thank you for being with her. She has always been with you. I have to say this tonight, good night. We will be back. We will have more to say. Lets get those votes counted. And lets bring this home. Thank you so much for awe that you have done. You are in all of our hearts. Thank you. The clinton team had written a victory speech for this party on this night. And we have just witnessed john p ocht dcht ec po dcht echt st t acht to tell everyone to go home. There will be no victory or concession speech from Hillary Clinton tonight. That they will wait it out until tomorrow. They had a victory speech, and then a fireworks display planned. That was canceled this week. Thought better, maybe that doesnt. They got hammered for announcing that. And then there was a problem they said with the permit. That was scrapped. But so interesting, there was so much time spent on. I didnt see one interview with donald trump or one of the surrogates, if he doesnt, if it doesnt go the way he planned will he graciously concede. Every interview with donald trump or any body associated asked that question. That was the question going into the night. If it was close would, would one of the candidates not concede. I think most people thought that would be donald trump. It turns out, its the Clinton Campaign. I mean she cant concede while there are vets on the table. No, no, i dont mean that. The irony of what we are seeing unfolding, right . I mean, you know. Bob, have you ever seen anything like this . Well, i was the one who said yesterday, you know, the way this thing is going, the next thing that will happen it will rain frogs. Well, its looking like, ribbit. 2004, john kerry took a little while to concede. I assume what theyre doing also is figuring out whether there is a challenge they can make if in fact theyre losing and look at it. Have a few hours to make that. Look at the votes. And say here is a way that we can challenge it if we want to. I dont have access, because we are all staring at the numbers whether there has been discussion about legal challenges in some of the states. I have not heard one at this particular point. I think what we are seeing is razor thin. How extraordinary to have we are not going to hear from Hillary Clinton tonight. One of the scenarios tonight was that this country would elect its first woman president. As the the 45th president. First female commanderinchief. We are not going to hear from her. I think the next question is, will we hear from donald trump . Ill bet you knob from the Donald Trump Campaign is thinking about going home. I bet there are no charges tonight of a rigged election over at the Trump Campaign headquarters. Nancy cordes in the rapidly emptying jacob Javits Center for us tonight. Nancy . Well, scott, looks like people are heeding advice and filing out. You can see some people are crying. Some people just look kind of stunned. I think the clinton kachl pain is trying to figure out what to do next. Does Hillary Clinton stay here in manhattan or go home to chappaqua, if they Say Something in the morning what do they say . I was digging a little deeper into the numbers in wisconsin, to try to figure out whats going on there. Took a look at the states, most populous county by far, milwaukee county, and it turns out that the vote totals in that democratic stronghold are off more than 100,000 voters from four years ago. Hillary clinton won the county by just about as large of a percentage as president obama did. She beat donald trump there by 32 . While president obama beat mitt romney there by 34 . But she was just starved of the votes that she needed in that county to offset Donald Trumps totals in more rural parts of the state. So the question becomes, was it complacency on the part of voters there . Was it disaffection with Hillary Clinton . Was it a second rate ground game in a state that the campaign thought wasnt going to competitive they thought they had in the bag based on past democratic performance there . Probably a little bit of all of the above. Theyre not ready to throw in the tow yet, clearly. You heard john podesta say lets find out what happens in the morning. It is incredibly discouraging for a campaign if anything was known for a superior ground game. And had all of the money in the world to air ads, to hire, hire staffers in any state that they thought was going to be a challenge. Nancy cordecht s there. And john, this has been the central question tonight. Did Hillary Clinton underperform . Did donald trump overperform, what about in wisconsin there . This is interesting. So what noon see was talking about. Milwaukee county on the eastern side of wisconsin. Hillary clinton got 236,000 total votes that have been totaled right now. Barack obama got about 100,000 more. In milwaukee county. You could say, one conclusion, well she dent turn out the vote there. Then in dane county, another democratic county she got the identical number of votes barack obama did. Did she not turn them out in milwaukee . Or is there absentee, some votes that are, is that what is the hold up that there, because, if she was able to do it in dane, being off by 100,000 in milwaukee. Huge number. A little surprising. That may be one of the reasons that milwaukee is, we should, and, wisconsins still waiting to be called even though, donald trump has a lead of, a little close to 80,000 votes. Look at where the race is now. After that i want to show you pennsylvania. But first look at the nation as a whole. This is where the electoral vote stands right now. Hillary clinton, 218. Donald trump, 244. Now that hasnt changed in a very long time. Because we are waiting for these states in white. The vote totals are so close in those states that we have been unable to estimate a winner yet. Now in pennsylvania that is the largest state in terms of electoral votes. Still in play. Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes. Have a look at this. Donald trump 2, 6. Hillary clinton 2,810. So, he has a he has a lead, significant lead. Not a decisive lead. We have about 1 of the vote in pennsylvania that has the yet to be counted. And if you look at the Third Party Candidate. Gary johnson. 141,000 votes. Had those swung Hillary Clintons way, she would be winning pennsylvania. And that would perhaps save her chances to become the 45th president of the United States. But that is not the way it has worked out. Donald trump now has slender numerical majorities in all five of the swing states that are outstanding. He only needs to win, depending on the state, two or three of these. Hillary clinton would have to win nearly all of them. And with donald trump leading in those states, that seems very unlikely. Are we anywhere close to, going to calling any of these really close ones right now . We may be inching closer to it, bob, but john, do you have any insight on that . I agree. Have to talk to anthony. Wisconsin, had a record absentee ballots. Milwaukee county would be one where you have a probably lot of absentee ballots. The count is so down from obama 2012, suggest is a good place for exploration with anthony. Anthony salvant ocht director of elections crunches all the numbers with his team for us over there. Scott, have any of you ever seen a case like this. I know we have been saying this all night. Never seen. Never candidate says i am goin home . Ever seen anything . Gore did it. The other candidates. There was in ohio as i recall in 2004, long lines, charges that the vote wasnt counted, there was kind of a discussion about ohio in 2004 which extended, i think i was covering the white house. Remember going up to the family residence at like 2 00 in the morning. John kerry didnt give his concession speech until wednesday afternoon. So, this is not that far in the past that that this happened. I take it we are not going home for a while. Apparently not. I mean. No matter what john podesta says well be here. Tech nick nically. Do cbs this morning right here. Got the table. Why not. Cbs this morning. Major garrett. Be on the air shortly. Major garrett at the Trump Campaign. I assume theyre still hanging in there. Yes, everyone is hanging in here. Theyre waiting for the moment. When john podesta, chairman of Hillary Clintons campaign was shown on the large screens here, there were the lusty boos you would expect that. Then the chant came. The chant i have heard 100 times if ive heard it once. Lock her up. Lock her up. There is i think we should point out, if there isnt a concession from Hillary Clinton tonight and clearly there will not be, if it drags on into the morning, there will be friction between these two campaigns. As a result of Hillary Clintons decision not to appear, number one, numb bar ter two, not conc. What will donald trump do with the results. Waiting for pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan to be called definitively. They feel very good about all three states. I just received a text from governor corbett of pennsylvania, says certain looking at all the results. 99. 2 of the vote. Trump is going to win pennsylvania. The Trump Campaign is waiting for definitive calls. Ironically, by the news organizations he heaped so much condemnation on on the stump. One other bit of irony. Those in trumps circle, find it rich, deeply rich in irony, that this morning, at this precipice of the president ial election, possibly, leaning in Donald Trumps direction it is Hillary Clinton who is showing hesitation about accepting the results. Not donald trump. We all remember what ensued after the third debate when he left that an open question. The trump inner circle find that among the most richly ironic aspects of this Early Morning on wednesday. Major garrett at the trump headquarters for us. Believe us, folks, the moment we can make a projection on any of these races we are going to do it. And you are going to be the first to know. But the vote totals are so close in these remaining states that we are unable to do that yet. However, we will keep trying on the other side of this commercial break. It is Election Night on cbs. Bounty is more absorbent,mom per roll so the roll can last 50 longer than the leading ordinary brand. So you get more life per roll. Bounty, the quicker picker upper they keep telling me drink more water. Exercise more. I know that. Try laxatives. I know. Believe me. Its like ive. Tried. Everything my chronic constipation keeps coming back. I know that. Tell me something i dont know. vo linzess works differently from laxatives. Linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. It can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. Do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. It may harm them. Dont take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If its severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomacharea pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. Were back talking about the extraordinary thing in the country. The closeness of the race for president. Joining me my guests. Lets talk about the democrats. Lets talk about 2004. When you were working for george bush. Right. 43. 43. And john kerry and there was a question. Question about ohio. He did not make a concession that night. We debated should we give a victory speech. The he hough he hadnt conce. The trump people are debating now. President bush decided no, lets wait. Let him do the right thing. He called mid morning the next morning. Gracious call. And i expect that to happen tomorrow, depending on the outcome we see tonight with Hillary Clinton. Ruth . I, if the numbers are clear, as we were talking about before, i think there will be a gracious call. Hillary clinton has a terrific role model for that in al gore whose concession speech magnanimous. Very magnanimous. Talks about helping the new president govern the country. Thats the tone if results are clear Hillary Clinton and the democrats should try to strike. I think that the brawl is going to come in congress. Republicans look like they have only lost three or four seats tonight. It appears that republicans will keep control of the senate. So theyre going to have the presidency, the house, the senate. And the fight is going to be between Bernie Sanders and the more moderates, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders together. On the house side it is going to be the same kind of tough. Since the republicans if in fact trump wins and in fact the senate as you suggest and the house looks like it will be that way. What can the democrats do . In the senate side they can throw monkey wrench. Thats key. The house can do nothing, but the senate has the the capability of stopping everything that trump and republicans want to do by using senate rules. Heres the question. Fell bust filibuster. I wonder how trump will stand for the filibuster. We were expecting to have conversation as but the future of the Republican Party how they needed to regroup. We will have to have the conversation about the future of the Democratic Party was this a failure of the candidate. She talked about how she is not a great candidate like her husband. She came with this email problem from the very opening moments of the campaign, that never went away. Or is there a broader failure of the party to be able to speak to the kind of working class voters that trump seemed to energize. A grand irony. We talked a lot about whether trump would accept the results. Right. Now the question is not that. Right. I think Hillary Clintons followers are going to have a tough time accepting the results too. It is going to be difficult in this political system. Because of the depth of the bitterness of this campaign. To accept the legitimacy of an outcup that is not favorable. Ultimately americans have to give a new president a chance. I have a tough time saying that. I think thats going to be necessary at the beginning of this system. Lets go back to scott and norah at the desk. We have just learned that donald trump has arrived at his campaign watch party here in new york. Certainly premature to be making a victory speech because he hasnt won. This is the vote totals as we have them now. Hillary clinton, 218, donald trump, 245. Certainly well within range of becoming the 45th president of the United States. There you can see his watch party. The folks at at the Hillary Clinton watch party were just told go home. Nothing is going to happen tonight. Well revisit this in the morning. Clearly the Trump Campaign is not following the same advice. Theyre expecting one or more of these states to be declared in the next hour or so. And in so doing, he will go over 270. And become the neck president of the United States. It is not over for Hillary Clinton, there are possible ways to win. But it is certainly not leaning in her direction now. Donald trump who prizes winning above all things is going to take the stage at almost 2 30 in the morning. Without a concession, we dont have any reporting abut whether they have had a phone conversation or whether the campaigns have spoken. But inside the Trump Campaign, we know that the, the
