AND NEVADA.
FIRST, LET’S BRING IN CHUCK
TODD.
KASIE HUNT IS HERE, AS WELL.
CHUCK, TIME TO GO TO THE BIG
BOARD.
>> YES, MA’AM.
>> PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW, WHAT ARE
THE NUMBERS?
WHERE IS IT STILL BEING COUNTED?
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THESE
RESULTS?
>> LOOK, ONE WAY TO LOOK AT
THIS, WE BASICALLY HAVE FIVE
STATES THAT WERE -- THAT ARE ON
A NICE EDGE ON THE COUNT.
JOE BIDEN NARROWLY HANGING ON IN
THE LEAD IN NEVADA AND ARIZONA.
THE PRESIDENT NARROWLY HANGING
ON IN PENNSYLVANIA, NORTH
CAROLINA, AND GEORGIA.
THE QUESTION IS, ARE ANY OF
THESE GOING TO FLIP?
LET ME TAKE YOU TO WHAT IS THE
CLOSEST ONE RIGHT NOW.
IT APPEARS TO BE GEORGIA.
LOOK AT THIS, DOWN TO 18,000.
AT THIS POINT, THERE’S STILL AN
EXPECTATION THAT THERE’S PLENTY
TO FIND --
>> ARE THEY STILL COUNTING?
>> STILL COUNTING.
DeKALB COUNTY, THIS IS A BIG --
THERE COULD BE A COUPLE THOUSAND
BALLOTS THERE.
THE POINT IS, YOU WIN IN THESE
80/20, AND WE’RE JUST LOOKING AT
WHERE ARE THEY?
COUPLE THOUSAND IN DeKALB.
FULTON COUNTY, 12,000 HERE.
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE STARING AT IN
GEORGIA.
BY THE WAY, KUDOS TO OUR
ELECTION TEAM.
THEY SAID, HEY, WE THINK IT IS
GOING TO BE 1/10th OF 1%.
RIGHT NOW, IT IS 4/10th OF 1%
WHICH IS THE DIFFERENCE.
I LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO THE
BOILER ROOM BECAUSE I THINK
THESE GUYS HAVE HAD AN
OUTSTANDING ELECTION NIGHT.
LET’S QUICKLY TAKE A LOOK AT
PENNSYLVANIA HERE.
THIS IS ONE THAT WE KNOW, WE SAW
THE COUNTING ROOM.
I EXPECT AT SOME POINT TODAY
THAT BIDEN WILL JUMP INTO THE
LEAD.
WE’RE GETTING MORE VOTE COMING
IN.
>> CAN WE CHECK IN PHILADELPHIA
COUNTY?
THAT’S WHERE, YESTERDAY, THEY
DIDN’T --
>> IT’S A SAME.
>> WHAT’S GOING ON?
>> WHY ARE --
>> THEY’RE GOING TO REPORT IT
ALL AT ONCE, IS MY
UNDERSTANDING.
THEY’RE JUST DOING THAT.
I THINK THAT’S THE ISSUE HERE.
THIS IS WHERE YOU LOOK AT THIS,
AND YOU’RE LIKE, IT’S GOING --
YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS HEADED,
BUT LET’S SEE WHEN IT’S DONE.
THIS IS ONE WHERE, TODAY -- AND
THAT’S AN IMPORTANT NARRATIVE
MOMENT, RIGHT, IF BIDEN TAKES
THE LEAD.
LOOK, WE’LL GET THE NEVADA
NUMBERS SOMETIME TODAY.
WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT, SO OUR GUY
OUT THERE, JOHN RALSTON, EDITOR
OF THE "NEVADA INDEPENDENT"
BELIEVES THE ADVANTAGE IS
BIDEN’S, BUT WE’LL SEE.
LET’S FIND OUT.
THEN LET’S GO TO ARIZONA, WHERE
THE PRESIDENT HAS GOTTEN, SO
FAR, THE PERCENTAGE HE NEEDS IN
ORDER TO SHRINK THIS LEAD.
HE GOT NEARLY 58% OF WHAT CAME
IN LAST NIGHT.
NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT’S
REMAINING, I THINK WE BELIEVE OF
WHAT’S REMAINING HERE,
470,000ISH.
WE SAY IT IS 490,000.
I THINK ONE NUMBER WAS 470,000.
TO BASICALLY CLOSE THE GAP, THE
PRESIDENT HAS TO CONTINUE
WINNING AT A 57% CLIP.
THE PROBLEM THERE IS WHERE ARE
THEY COMING FROM?
RIGHT?
YOU GOT THE FIRST 57% CLIP YOU
NEEDED, BUT IS IT GOING TO BE --
THERE’S GOING TO BE MORE VOTE IN
YOUR HOME COUNTY, TOUCAN, A
DEMOCRATIC LEANING AREA.
THE FIRST BATCH, HE GOT WHAT HE
NEEDED.
>> ALL THE VOTES, THEY’RE NOT
COMING FROM THE SAME, LIKE,
CHUNK?
>> THIS IS -- THEY’RE
DISTRIBUTED ALL OVER BECAUSE
THIS IS PEOPLE THAT -- IN
ARIZONA, I THINK I HEARD YOU
TALKING ABOUT THIS, A LOT OF
PEOPLE TURNED IN THEIR MAIL
BALLOT IN PERSON BECAUSE THERE
WAS FEAR OF THE POSTAL SERVICE.
>> TELL US WHEN WE’RE GOING TO
KNOW WHO WON THIS PRESIDENTIAL
LACE
RATE.
>> I DON’T KNOW IF WE’LL HAVE
MANY CERTIFIED ELECTIONS.
GEORGIA IS GOING TO BE SO CLOSE,
WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WAIT
UNTIL THEY CERTIFY IT TO KNOW
WHO WON.
I THINK PENNSYLVANIA, YOU’RE
GOING TO SEE JOE BIDEN HAVE A
LEAD, IF ANYWHERE.
BIDEN CAMPAIGN THINKS IT’LL BE
NORTH OF 100,000.
WE’LL SEE.
RECOUNTS CAN CATCH UP A THOUSAND
OR TWO, BUT WHEN YOU’RE SEEING
THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VOTES,
AND I THINK BETWEEN 50 AND 100
IS WHAT BIDEN’S LEAD WILL BE.
>> KASIE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
THIS MORNING?
>> THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, I THINK,
REMAINS AT THIS POINT CAUTIOUSLY
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT WHAT IS STILL
OUTSTANDING ON THIS MAP.
THAT IS REALLY WHAT THEY ARE
COUNTING ON.
BUT YOU HAVE SEEN, AND I THINK
IT’S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE
RHETORIC YOU’RE HEARING FROM
BOTH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE
BIDEN.
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS INCREDIBLY
CAREFUL NOT TO GET AHEAD OF
WHERE THE COUNTING IS, AND
THAT’S VERY INTENTIONAL.
WE’VE SEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP OUT
HERE ALREADY SAYING, HE’S WON
THE ELECTION FALSELY.
GEORGIA IS ONE STATE THAT I AM
REALLY KEEPING MY EYE ON, NOT
JUST FOR THIS RACE BUT FOR THE
FUTURE, BECAUSE IT HAS ALL OF
THOSE TRENDS AND THINGS WE’RE
SEEING IN THIS ELECTION.
SUBURBAN, PARTICULARLY SUBURBAN
WOMEN REALLY BREAKING FOR
DEMOCRATS, BUT RURAL AREAS GOING
EVEN MORE STRONGLY FOR
REPUBLICANS, THE CULTURAL DIVIDE
REALLY ON DISPLAY.
IT’S NOT A STATE WE THOUGHT
WOULD BE THIS CLOSE, IF WE WERE
TALKING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, BUT
HERE WE ARE.
>> I CALL THAT THE SLEEPER
BATTLEGROUND OF THIS CYCLE,
