Joe biden ahead in pennsylvania just over 5000 votes, the 10th of a percentage point, still very close race. Ballots are continuing to be counted. Particularly here in philadelphia where biden has been winning 7 of the vote. That lead is expected to expand. As it does, President Trump has been attacking the poll workers and the credibility of the count and launching legal challenges. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already called joe biden president elect. It appears the Trump Administration will use its final moments in office in a desperate last step to destroy every possible action for American Health and wellbeing. So many people have said to me, what damage do you think trump will do between losing the election and this the inauguration of joe biden . Maybe didnt praise it quite that way but that is how i heard it. We knew he would be up to mischief. Separate and apart from trying to destroy the credibility of our elections, which we criticize other nations for doing and now famili
Tweets. Next, white house chief of staff mark meadows sits down for a conversation with tony perkins, president of the Family Research council as part of the 2020 values voter summit. This is 20 minutes. You were in some of those early value voter meetings. Attended and i had like many of the people tuned in tonight, literally are activists wanting to make sure that their values are heard at washington, d. C. Aboutr us, it was more making sure we were not silent, and so 15 years seems like just yesterday, but there is probably no more impactful gathering of conservative christian values that we get to hear, whether it is in the administration or capitol hill. You get a lot of energy, a lot of headlines, and a lot of press. I remember having a conversation with you after one of those gatherings.

And he argues that president lincoln was against slavery, but was willing to accept it in order to preserve the union. This is an hour and a half, hosted by the New York Historical society and the bryant park reading room. Thank you alex castle and paul room arrow. And thanks to the Bryant Park Corporation and the bryant park reading room, and the hsbc corporation and all those who have made it possible for me to appear here tonight. Its a particular privilege to speak here in new york city. Already, in 1860, as it remains today, new york was the nerve center of the nation. The herald, the tribune, the times, the three most influential and widely read newspapers in the United States, were publish right here. Each provides the historian with a wealth of insights, and each informs my presentation tonight. Here is what i am going to talk about. I focus on the fateful series of events in late 1860, and early 1861, when a president ial election triggered a grave crisis, and before long, a c

Lincoln won the 1860 president ial election because he carried every free state except for a divided electoral vote in new jersey. So he compiled a clear majority in the Electoral College and as we all know, of course, it is electoral votes that count. He also amassed far more popular votes than any of the other three candidates. But his plurality victory gained only 40 of the nationwide popular vote. He got no electoral votes and hardly any popular votes in the south. He was not on the ball loballotn Southern States. As we have seen an articulate ideological minority of republicans did consider slavery a moral problem, but mainstream republican moderates always said slavery was beyond their reach.
