Leader of a democracy does. Thats something a twobit dictator does. If you believe in democracy, you want every vote counted. Joe biden will restore our battered standing in the world because he knows our true strength comes from setting an example the world wants to follow, and thats a nation that stands with democracy and not dictators, a nation that can inpeyer and mobilize others to overcome threats like Climate Change and terrorism and poverty and disease, and stand up for human rights whether its in cuba or anywhere else around the world. Including human rights right here in the United States of america. And here is the other thing. You know, ive joked about this, but everybody said thats a good point. They said when joe and kamala, youre not going to have to think about him every single day. Youre not going to have to argue about some crazy tweet that the president sent ....
And good evening. We start this hour with the breaking news that 250,000 people in the United States are now dead from the coronavirus. A quarter million americans. We cross that threshold, that horrible threshold, as deaths from the virus are rising rapidly. On tuesday, the u. S. Reported more than 1,700 dead. The highest reported deaths in a single day since may. 50,000 dead by april. 100,000, by may. 150,000, by july. 200,000, back in september. A quarter of a million, now, dead. And publichealth officials cannot speak with the incoming president to the United States, president elect joe biden. The only reason they cant speak to him is because the current president s baseless attempts to prove voter fraud. And behind those baseless attempts and lies is, probably, anger and shame at losing. Desperation to hold onto power. Maybe, fear. What life as a oneterm president will be ....
And hello, again. Thanks for joining us. The biggest county in what the Biden Campaign is hoping will be the biggest and most unexpected prize for them is wrapping up its count. Were talking about Fulton County, georgia. The atlanta area. Were expecting to hear from officials shortly. Well bring that to you live. Erin burnett is with me today. Everybody is waiting, now maybe Fulton County answers. Nevada soon more information. Votes coming in from arizona and pennsylvania where hundreds of thousands of ballots still remain. The big question, of course, is will this be enough as these numbers come in to putt biden ahead over the 270 mark, obviously the biden margin is slim and shrinking, but we expect an update on that in the next few hours. The White House Well be h ....
Goes for democratic governors and republican governors. Cnns nick watt has more. This is simply the fastest increase california has seen since the beginning of this pandemic. Reporter so this morning, 9 4 of californians woke up under the golden states strictest covid19 restrictions, and the curfew is under consideration. 2020 was like, in a football game, the first half. The holidays and where we are right now is half time. Weve got a whole half ahead of us. Reporter nationwide, average daily case counts are now double the peak of the summer surge. More than 1,000 people are now dying every day, also higher than that summer surge. Yes, two vaccines are close, but there will be plenty more dying before they get here. We dont want the extraordinary success of these two vaccines to get people to become complacent. Ive often said help is on the way, but help is not here yet. Reporter and the president is engineering maybe the messiest transition in history in the midst of a pandemic. Tran ....
Victory in that state. He is up by 148,000 in michigan or about 15 times when the president beat Hillary Clinton by in michigan. Biden won wisconsin by more than 20,000 votes. Recount efforts rarely move the count more than a few hundred votes, either way. So, historically, this is not even close. The results were simply delayed because the ballots took longer to count. Yet, today, as president elect biden got down to work, the way election winners in both parties have always done. President trump did what no other modernday preseident, in either party, has done under such clearcut circumstances. He refuses to accept reality and tried, without evidence, to paint his own alternate alternative version of an election stolen from him. No, were not going to repeat his allegations because it just perpetuates the lies. Anecdotes from people on social media is not evidence. Evidence is presented in a court of law. And if the president ha ....
