Understandable, there is a raging pandemic in the country. That is only getting worse. Today confirms the United States has surpassed 10 million covid19 cases. It has killed 239,000 fellow americans. Tomorrow president elect joe biden will reveal his plan to fight the virus announcing his own Coronavirus Task force. The Biden Transition Team will officially launch on monday. With 73 days until biden is sworn in. As the 46th president of the United States. Its time to put away the harsh rhetoric. Lower the temperature. Listen to each other again. The road ahead will not be easy. America ready. So are joe and i. Today the president elect spent his sunday like he always does. Going to church. He visited the date of his late son. Trump spent the second day playing golf. We have heard very little from the sitting president. No concession. No gaggle with the White House Press core and most importantly no formal address to you, the American People. Heres texas senator cruz earlier today on fox. At this point we do not know who is prevailed in the election. The media is desperately trying to get everyone to kor nate joe biden as the next president. Thats not how it works. The media doesnt get to select the president. The American People get to elect our president. We know the Trump Administration has a long history of filing frivolous lawsuits. He will threaten to sue anything and anyone he doesnt like. Theres a difference between filing and a win. There have been half a dozen lawsuits the campaign filed so far. Related to the election. Some have been dismissed and more likely to be. To be clear, greater clarity in a moment. From someone smarter than i am. Theres no evidence of widespread voter fraud. No evidence of little scale voter fraud. Theres this before coming on the air tonight the majority of the remaining ballots in arizona are not expected to be as trump heavy. Biden is leading arizona tonight by nearly 17,000 votes. With 98 in. There are between 33 and 80,000 ballots left to count in arizona. A mirgety of them are provisional. And those that have to be specially processed. Ranging from military and over seas ballots to braille, large print. Or damaged ballots. The Biden Campaign is paid little attention to the lawsuits choosing to enjoy the victory. Three decades in the making. Dont call it a come back. I have been here for years. With that i welcome my friend. Host of the beat. Our chief legal correspondent. I worked on that. So you know. I dont know much about the law. Youre giving me biden said knock you out vibes. Thank you. I have been looking forward to this all day. Heres the thing. For a guy like me who doesnt know law. I get the legal knowledge from you or law and order. It strikes me that there is no one objecting to any fundamental truth about which the Trump Campaign has got itself tied up in knots. No one is saying hes a pile of votes dont count them. This is not 2000. A question as to whether someone cast a ballot for gore. Everybody is on the same side. Count all the votes. Democrats have been on the same side since the beginning. Count all the votes. Trump has been inconsistent. Count some votes and stop the counting. Youre right. Thats why it differs from past examples. If something is hanging by a single state and theres an actual voting controversy. You might be able to drag it out. This is not that situation. The margins are clear. Theres no cases no pending case that could change the out come of the result. Ted cruz knows better. Because he was a very celebrated attorney in private practice. And i believe handled appeals in the state of texas before he got here. It is certainly fine to say that out standing issues will be litigated. Sure. Theres a right to a recount. No open case that has any chance of changing the out come. Cruz and others know that. That leaves us in a situation were in. Legal battle hit a brick wall. The margins are not close. President elect biden will be the president in january. What we have from donald trump over the two days is tweets and the desire to make it seem somehow murky. Let me give yo a couple things theyre suing about. Im in pennsylvania. If you mail in your ballot you have to mail the ballot, security envelope and three things it weighs a certain amount. You cant canvas before election day. They were weighing them in the county. To say your ballot doesnt weigh enough. You may have done something wrong. Would you like it cure it. Theres that stuff going on. Theres no ballot in rivers. Ballots in garbage bins or du dumpsters. Theres nothing, no thing. That were talking about. Were talking about counting all the ballots. Theres no evidence of voter fraud. Christy on down is noting that. This is why we are sunday night. We didnt know we would be here. Were careful with the calls. Independent news organizations made the calls. And theres a clear margin. We have a president elect. We dont have anything like the open legal issues or voter fraud. What were left with, i say this factually. The fraud is Donald Trumps twitter stream. That is soon to be expresident donald trump. Thats the fraud. Thats why independent platforms put warnings before you read or open the information. We might open it and look at it for fact checking. That is the fraud. That is the fakery. The truth is there are margins in the states that are over turned. Ill always be fair. If there are open proceedings and any given state, well keep an eye on it and follow them. I know you. Youll be on it. Heres the question. Theres business that has to be done. No official call. At some point in early december the electors get together and cast the ballot and elect a president and on noon on january 20, a new president is sworn in. The General Service administration the branch of government that holds the keys and the buildings and keeps them clean. They are not authorizing the Transition Team to get the computer sign ins and badges and office space. They said the constitution is not as determined by the constitution we dont have a clear winner. What does that mean . What is a clear winner mean legally . I dont think that issue means much. They are under the office of the Trump Administration. It is true that we have a time line followed where states certify results. We havent hit that day yet. This i wonder i was thinking about this how the fact it got slowed down for political junkies was like its delayed. For country is took a few days and calmly watch it absorb. Were in a better place today sunday night than going into tuesday. When people were worried. Mostly because of trumps statements that somehow this would be in doubt. Its no longer in doubt. Once states certify the results. Those are all the normal deadlines in state law. In the constitution. And the process plays out from there. Today is my wifes birthday. Four years ago it was her birthday november 8. Election day. I didnt celebrate it i was covering the election. We had dinner tonight. I was goog lg rap lyrics that have something to do with election out comes. Thanks to you. You caused a little tension. You did great with the ll cool j. Happy birthday to your wife and election day. Which comes around every two or four years. Good to see you my friend. Thank you for work you do. All right. Delaware. After a night of celebration joe biden plotting a white house transition. Plans for his first days in the office as 46th president are already in the works. Joining me now is news correspondent. Who you have all seen and know. Mike, you cant see with the mask on what he looks like. Hes been at this for far longer than he looks. He has been working with joe biden in some fashion you have been covering him since 2008. And now hes going to be the president of the United States of america. How about that. Yeah, the first time i actually covered a joe biden president ial Campaign Event in october of 2007. In the remote North Country of new hampshire. And little did i realize as a young reporter i would be covering him today as president elect. Here we are. Its interesting, we talk about where the biden team is at this point. Last night at this point they were celebrating enjoying a spectacular fire works display. Reveling in victory. Addressed the nation as president elect. Tomorrow the reality of the job ahead of them comes into focus. As they stand up the Transition Team and a real signal of priorities and the first thing well hear from the president elect about is announcing 12 Member Task Force to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. He included this in the victory speech. And the goal is imlimit tplemen agenda. As well as of yale. A three person cochair of the task force. And then well begin to see biden leaning into the things he talked about in the closing weeks. Including reaching out to the nations governors. And trying to assemble a task list of what they need on day one of the administration. And have legislation on the desk to get resources to them. We will be talking much in the coming days. Thank you for your coverage. Covering the president elect of the United States. The biden catch works on plans for the january transition. President trump is claiming falsely that the election is far from over. Reporting tonight the president plans to brandish obituaries of people who voted but are deceased in effort to prolong the fight. And plans to hold Campaign Style rallies focussed on litigation. And announce specific recount teams in key states. Carol lee is here now with more. Carol, this is the kind of thing that takes this from the absurd into the real. If the trump appointed General Services add mirs doesnt give the Transition Team the basic tools they need because the election hasnt been won. That stops the transition. Trump is going to do the thing he does best. Hold rallies and tweet nonsense. They have a plan around this. A plan around rallies to convince people this is a false out come of the election. Yes. They do. Its really quite a split screen. Given everything that mike just said out lining the biden team is headed with the transition. And to have the president planning to go out in the battleground states that are are still in his view contested and holding rallies. Its two realities. That is what our own reporting confirmed. The president plans to hold the rallies and its not clear if he will be headlining every one of the rallies. The expectation is they will take place in states that are ongoing and having recounts. Where the president and his legal team have mounted various lawsuits and are mounting legal challenges against the out come. We have that and if the president does bring forward evidence or whatever it is. Thats because he wave something around as a rally doesnt make it fact. Doesnt make it verified or vetted. He plans to take that route. Its not unlike what other things we have seen him do in the past. It is now its a time when were trying to typically would be transitioning to a different government. There would be a hand over happening behind the scenes and out in public. The president usually hosts his successor after an election. Thats not happening. The president is going to hold the rallies. And the campaign is deploying staff into states and announced theyll have individuals heading up the recounts in various states. They announce georgia today. We expect more of this. The president is really digging in. And all signs pointing to the fact hell go in this direction. For now. Heres the thing. Georgia is closish. And arizona is getting less close. But close. He cant make up the numbers. Is he going to do it in every state . Is somebody telling the president the truth. You can prolong it. January 20 a new president will be sworn in. You cant make up the numbers. There arent enough people dead people in states to flip enough states to get you 270 votes. We know that there are people around the president who recognize that these lawsuits and challenges are not something that will necessarily change the out come. The president is determined on this. There is a limited amount of time. He cant go recount forever. This is not something that will carry on for endless weeks. This will carry on potentially a number of weeks. States have different deadlines for when the vote is certified and when someone can recount would start. If they play this out, this is something that is going to go on for several weeks at a time. Some of the feeling around the people who work for the president is that this is an exercise that he needs to go through. And wants to go through. They have to get on board. So thats what we have seen so far. Thank you for your reporting. In washington. This moment is not just about joe biden defeating trump. Its about who joe biden chose as his Vice President. What a testament it is to joes character. That he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exist in our country. And sleelect a woman as Vice President. While i maybe the first woman in the office, i will not be the last. This morning for the first time ever, little girls especially little girls of color across the country woke up with proof that they too can become the Vice President of the United States. As a daughter of immigrants. The graduate of a historically black college. Howard university. Her rise to the Vice President is a story of hope. Its a story of power. A story of proof. Proof of progress. That this country did not have just 48 years ago. Joining me to discuss the pure power of this moment. Founder of the me too movement. Youre who i thought of when it happened. Because of the images we have seen in the last few days. The little girls dressed up as Kamala Harris. The girls who will wake up and see her as Vice President of the United States. For a movement that you have been involved in, this has to be a massive lurch forward. It is. I think representation is important. We should always think about representation and what Kamala Harris means to young girls around the country. In particular girls of color. Im so much more intrigued by what she will bring to the office. Than what she represents. The representation is great. We need to have it and always celebrate it. As a person who has done this work for a long time im excited about the possibility of what she can bring to the position. Lets talk about what needs to be brought to the position. We have discussed this. While we want a world in which women are free to walk on the streets, work in a place free of harassment and assault. We want a world in which women earn the same money as men for the same work. And we do not live in that world. Black women and women or color earn the same money as white women. And earn the same as men. We dont work in that world either. There is actual work that Kamala Harris and joe biden can do to advance this cause of the equality for women. Which is not finished. Absolutely. That is what we talk about the transition and the first hundred days, thats the scene well focus on. More so than what they represent. What policies will you bring . She was one of the only president ial candidates who spoke directly about Sexual Violence. And had a history of working against Sexual Violence. She protected child sexual abuse survivors and revenge porn. The rape kit backlog and things like that during her tenure. Thats exciting. We know that biden has supported things. Like College Sexual assault on campus. We want those things to continue. And because she grew up as a black woman in america she knows about what black equity looks like. What lack of equality looks like. I hope thats a driving force in the policies they come up with. While were talking about this campaign, while we have coronavirus. One thing important to remember is when this is behind us we will have me too. And Sexual Violence. How much is knowing what it looks like and Kamala Harriss case having been a prosecutor and understanding it. How much is a matter at the federal level . Where is the most work remaping to be done . At the state level, in Companies Across america, education, what is it . Whats left to do before we end this . To the honest its multiple interventions. In our history the only time we have seen the needle move is we have had multiple interventions. We need legislative intervention. We had survivor summit. Survivors from around the country put together a an agenda. And tell us and politicians and people who represent them exactly what they want and need. They need to look to pieces of agenda like that. To help set policy. We need culture intervention. Grass roots intervention. We need people who are thinking about ways to end Sexual Violence and every different facet. That means i think of the comparison to tobacco and cigarette smoke now vs. 30 years ago. That took multiple interventions. We have research that said Secondhand Smoke was bad. And hollywood saying we wont have tv smoking on tv anymore. Laws changed. Lawsuits happened. All that had to happen. To get us to the place where this generation of young people think smoking is bad. We can end Sexual Violence. We have to have all of the interventions happening at the same time. Part of it is having people in the white house who we can sit down with and talk about the interventions. Im excited to have at least some people in the white house who can come to the table about it. Thank you for the great important work that you have done. Thank you for being here to help the audience understand it. A recount and run off to talk about georgia. How they turn out
