- DECENT CHANCE THAT JOE BIDEN - NS THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT - STRUGGLES IN THE ELECTORAL - COUNT. - >> WHAT HAPPENED? - THAT WAS PRETTY CLOSE. - I MEAN G, BIDEN NG TO GET - ABOUT A SEVEN MILLION VOTE - PLURALITY WHEN ALL IS SAID AND - DONE. - THAT'S ABOUT FIVE OR SIX POINTS. - BUT THE PROJECTIONS PRE-ELECTION - WHERE HE COULD GET A TEN OR 12 - POINT LEAD AT THE RATE HE CAME - IN, IT PUT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE - RIGHT THE MARGINS. - HE'S GOING TO WIND UP, IF EVERY - STATE HOLDS, WITH 306 TEECTORAL - BUT IT'S AMAZING HOW CLOSE THESE - STATES AR - YOU KNOW, ONE PERCENT OR LESS IN - ARIZONA, NEVADA, WISCONSIN, - PENNSYLVANIA, THEY'LL EVEN BE - RECOUNTS. - SO HE AVOIDED THE FATE OF - HILLARY CLINTON,UT IT WAS A - CLOSE CALL. - Sreenivasan: HE ALSO SAID - THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO DO - WELL IN INNER CITIES. - WAS THAT THE KEY? - >> IT WAS A MIXED BAG. - THE INTERESTING THING WAS IN A - STATE LIKE PENNSYLVANIA, THE - PHILADELPHUTIA TURASN'T - PARTICULARLY GREATER THAN IT WAS - FOCLINTON. - BUT HE DID BETTER NOT ONLY IN - THE SUBURBS, BUT HE DID SLIGHTLY - RETTER THAN CLINTON IN THE SMALL

- TOWN AND RURAL. - THAT WAS TRUE IN WISCONSIN, JUST - WELL ENOUG TH TO PUSH HIM OV - EDGE IN BOTH OF THOSE STATES. - >> Sreenivasan: YOU KNOW, THE - DEMOCRATS RIGHT NOW SEEM TO BE - CELEBRATING BIDEN AND RIGHTFULLY - THEY SHOULD. - THIS IS A VICTORY LAP FOR THEM. - BUT THE SENATEEN A WHOLE - DIFFSCENARIO. - >> WE TALKED LAST WEEK ABOUT THE - OPTIMISM THE DEMOCRATS HAD THAT - IN ALL OF THESE RED STATES, SIX - DEMOCRATIC CONTENDERS VASTLY - OUTSPENDING THEIR REPUBLICAN - INCUMBENTS, THEY ALL LOST AND - SOME OF THEM BY ENORMS - MARGINS. - AND IT TURNS OUT THAT EXCEPT FOR - ARIZONA AND COLORADO, THOSE ARE - THE ONLY STATES THE DEMOCRATS - PICKED UP AND THEY LOST ALABAMA. - SO IT'S 50 TO 48 RIGHT - ASSUMING ALASKA AND NORTH - CAROLINA HOLD AND THERE WERE TWO - GEORGIA SENAOITE SEATS TO A - RUNOFF THAT WILL DECIDE WHICH - PARTY CONTROLS THE SENATE. - AND SO IF YOU HAVE SOME SPE - MONEY, BUY A TV STATION IN - GEORGIA, THERE'S GOING TO BE A - LOT OF MONEY SPENT. - ONE ADDITION, - HAPPEN?D THIS

- PARTISANSHIP. - IT TURNS OUT TICKET SPLITTING IS - SOTHING THAT'S ALL - DISAPPEARED IN AMERICA. - IN EVERY STATE BUT MAINE, WHERE - SAN COLLINS WON, THE WINNING - SENATE CANDIDATE WAS FROM THE - SAME PARTY AS THE PRESIDENTIAL - CANDIDATE WHO WON THAT STATE. - >> Sreenivasan: EVEN IFHE - DEMOCRATS GET THE SENATE OR GET - CONTROL OF THE SENATE, WHICH - AGAIN IS UP IN THE AIR, THAT - DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A SLAM DUNK - FOR JOE BIDEN AND LET'S SAY A - RE PROGRSIVE AGENDA. - >> NOT HARDLY. - I MEAN, IFUTOU'RE TALKING A - A 50-50 SENATE WITH KAMALA - MORRIS BREAKING THE TIE, WE KNOW - THAT THERE ARE ATS WHO - OPPOSE A OF THE MORE BOLD - MOVES THAT SOME PROGRESVES - WANT. - THEY'R AGAINST COURT EXPANSION. - THEY DON'T LIKE ABOLISHING THE - LEGISLATIVE FIBUSTER. - THEY'RE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT - MASSIVE SPENDING AND HAS SAID IF - THE REPUBLICANS KEEP THE SETE, - MITCH McCONNELL EFFECTIVELY HAS - VETO POWER OVER JUDGES AND EVEN - AND ONE MORE POINT-- WHEN OBAMA - WON 12 YEARS AGO, HE HAD 6 - SENATORS, DEMOCRATS, AND HE HAD - A REALLY TOUGH PROBLEM GETTING - DA THROUGH - >> Sreenivasan: NOW WE'RE STILL

- WAITING FOR ANY SEMBLANCE OF A - CONCESSION FROM THE PRESIDENT, - BUT OTHER REPUBLICANS ARE - ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO 2024 - MAYBE 2022. - >> WELL, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT - THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WE - TALKEDLEBOUT A POSSEN-SEAT - GAIN FOR DEMOCRATS, THEY LOST - EIGHT SEATS. - THEY MAY LOSE MORE. - THEIR MARGINS SME GOING TO BE - L IN THE HOUSE, MAY BE TEN - VOTES AND THE STA - LEGISLATURES, THE DEMOCRATS HAD - A TOTAL FAILURE THERE. - SO REPUBLICANS WILL BE IN CHARGE - OF REDISTRICTING IN TEXAS, OHIO, - AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM - FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO HOLD THE - HOUSE. - HAVI SAID ALL THAT, HARI, NOT - JUST DEMOCRATSBUT I THINK FOR - A LOT OIOF PEOPLE, THERE'S - TO BE QUITE A MOMENT IN JANUARY - WHEN THE NEW PRESIDENT BIDEN - GOES BEFORE CONGRESS AND HIS - FIRST WORDS WILL BE, MADAM VICE - PRESIDENT, MADAM SPEAKER. - SO EVEN WITH THE DISAPPOINTMENT - ON THE ON THE CONGRESSIONAL - SIDE, THERE'S SOME CAUSE FOR - DEMOCR BATS CELEBRATING. - >> Sreenivasan: JEFF GREENFIELD - JOINING US FROM SANTA BARBARA, - THANKS SO MUCH.KA - LA HARRIS IS NOT THE FIRST - WOMAN TO BE ON THE VICE-

- PRESIDENTIAL TICKET, BUT WITH - YESTDAY'S VICTORY SHE IS THE - FIRST TO BECOME VICE-PRESIDENT - ELECT BREAKING NOT JUST ONE - I SPOKE WITH BARBARA PERRY, - DIRECTOR OF PRESIDENTIAL STUDIES - AND COCHAIR OF THE PRESIDENTIA - ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM AT THE - UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA'S MILLER - CENTER, ABOUT THE HI FIRST - FOR THE COUNTRY. - >> WELL, AS A WOMAN, I HAVE TOSA - IT'S SO INSPIRING, - PARTICULARLY GIVEN THAT FOUR - YEARS AGO, MANY OF US THOUGHT WE - WOULD SEE THE FIRST WOMANTE - ELTO SIT IN THE OVAL - OFFICE AT THE RESOLUTE DESK. BUT - FAILING THAT, THIS IS THE NEXT - BEST THI. - AND NOT ONLY A WOMAN IN KAMALA - HARRIS, BUT A WOMAN OF COLOR. - IT'S JUST SPECTACULAR. - AND I MENTIONED THAT I W - WEARING MY LATE MOTHER'S - EARRINGS TODAY. - SHE WOULNED HAVE T100 NEXT - WEEK. - AND IT MAKES ME THINK THAT - ALMOST GIVES ME CHILLS TO THINK - THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN - JUST AFTER E AMENDMENT PASSED - THE9TH AMENDMENT, GIVING WOMEN - THE FRANCHISE AND THAT HER OWN - MOTHER, IT MADE ME DO SOME MATH,

- R OWN MOTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN - 27 BEFORE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN - ALLOWED TO CAST HER FIRST VOTE - IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. - SO WITHIN THE SPAN OF THREE - GENERATIONS, I NOW SEE THE FIRST - WOMAN VICE PRESIDENT AND MAYBE - SHE WILL GO ON AT SOME POINT TO - BE INPRESIDENT RUIN HER OWN - RIGHT. - >> Sreenivasan: WELL, KAMALA - HARRIS IS THE FIRST TO BE VLEE - PRESIDE. - SHE'S NOT THE FIRST TO BE ON A - MAJOR PARTY TICKET. - >> YES, IT TAKES USHE WAY - UP TO 1984 BEFORE WE GET A WOMAN - ON A MAJOR PARTY NATIONAL TICKE - IN THE PERSON OF GERALDINE - FERRARO. - AND YET I THINK BACK TO THAT - CAMPAIGN AS SHE RAN ON THE - TICKET WITH WALTER MONDA, THAT - WAS DOOMED TO A LANDSLIDE DEFEAT - TO RONALD REAGAN, NOT BECAUSE OF - RALDINE FERRARO, BUT SHE WAS A - BIT CONDESCENDED TO BY THEN VICE - PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH IN - THE DEBATE AND SHE CALLED HIM - OUT ON IT. - HER HUSBAND'S BUSINESS DEALINGS, - HIS REAL ESTATE DEALINGS IN NEW - AND I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT'S THE - PROBLEM FOR WOMEN. - THEY RISE TO AT OR NEAR THE TOP,

- AND THEN THEY'RE STILL BROUGHT - DOWN BY THEIRUSBAND'S BUSINESS - DEALINGS. - AND THEN IN THE CASE OF SARAH - P TALIN, I ACTUALNK THAT SET - THE CAUSE OF WOMEN BACK ON - NATIONAL TICKETS BECAUSE SHE WAS - SO BLATANTLY UNQUALIFIED TO - SERVE IN THAT ROLE OR TO BE A - HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM THE - PRESIDENCY. - BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT DIDN'T - TAKE LONG FOR WOMEN TO OVERCOME - THAT WITH KAMALA HARRIS' - NOMINATION AND NOW VICTORY. - >> Sreenivasan: AND IT'S IRONIC - THAT THE MALE ESTABLISHMENT THAT - TRIOMED TO KEEP FROM VOTING - FOR SO LONG, EVER SINCE THAT - VOTE, HAVE BEENELL, THESE HAVE - EN THE MASSIVE MARGINS AND HOW - IMPORTANT WOMEN HAVE BEEN IN - ELECTIONS, DECIDINGRESIDENTS. - YES, AND PARTICULARLY - OF COLOR, 90-PLUS PERCENT AND - MEN OF COLOR AWELL, CERTAINLY - RICAN AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN, - THE BACKBONE OF THE DEMOCRATIC - PARTY, AND YET PARTICULARLY IN - THE CASE OF ACK WOMEN, HAVE - BEEN SO UNREWARDED. - IT'S SAD TO THINK ON THE

- OPPOS SITE SIDE THATMALA - HARRIS LEADS HERSELF INTO THE - VICE PRESIDENCY, AND I THOUGHT - IT WAS SO SYMBOLIC THAT IN HIS - VICTORY SPEECH, JOE BIDEN - INCLUDED HER NOT ONLY ON THE - STAGE, - AND INTRODUCE HIM, THAT THAT'S - UNPR EECEDENTED IN PRESIDECT - VICTORY SPEECHES. - BUT IN GOING ON TO THE VICE - ESIDENCY, THAT WILL MEAN THERE - IS NOT A BLACK WOMAN IN THE - SENATE AND THAT KAMALA HARRIS - WAS ONLY THE SECOND BLACK WOMAN - IN ALL OF OUR HISTORY TO SERVE - IN THAT BODY. - >> Sreenivasan: BARBARA PERRY - FROM UVA'S MILLER CENTER, THANKS - SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. - >> THANK YOU, HARI. - >> Sreenivasan: FOR MORE - ELECTION ANALYSIS AND THE LATEST - NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS, - VISIT PBS.ORG NEWSHOUR. - >> Sreenivasan: TOMORROW, - PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN PLANS TO - S ME A 12-PERSON GROUP OF - SCIENTIFIC ADVISD EXPERTS - TO LEAD THE RESPONSE TO THE - CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC DURING THE - TRAITION. - TODAY THE U.S. RECORDED MORE - THALLN TEN N CONFIRMED CASES - OF CONAVIRUS INFECTIONS

AND REACTION THTO THE - U.S. ELECTION RESULTS, I SPOKE - WITH NPR CORRESPONDENT FRANK - LANGFITT, WHO JOINED US FROM - LONDON. - FRANK, WE'LL GET TO THE ELECTION - IN A SECO, BUT FIRST, THE - HER AND ONLY MAJOR STORY IN - THE WORLD IS COVID. - E NUMBER OF CASES ACROSS - EUROPE HAVE BEEN INCREASING, - AJUST LIKE TH IN THE UNITED - STATES. - TAND WE'RE SEEI U.K. NOW - TAKING MUCH MORE DRASTIC - MEASURES. - >> WHAT BASICALLY HAPPENED IS - OVER THE SUMMER, PEOPLE TRAVELED - A LOT IN EUROPE AND IT'S CLEAR

- THAT PEOPLE BROUGHT IT BACK FROM - SPAIN, FOR INSTANCE. - AND ALSO THERE'S BEEN KIND OF, - IT WAS MUCH MORE RELAXED IN THE - UNITED KINOM THAN IT WAS IN - THE STATES. - AND SO THERE HASN'T BEEN AS MUCH - WE'VE GOT A RESURGENCE AS THE - WEATHER'S GOTTEN MUCH COLDER - HERE THIS FALL. - >> Sreenivasan: HOW DOES THAT - TRANSLATE INTO HOW PEOPLE FEEL - ABOUT THIS, THEIR FRUSTRATION - LEVEL, WHETHER THEY THINK THAT - THERE'S A CLEAR POLICY, WHETHER - THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO - ORROUND THER BECAUSE ALL THE - EPIDEMIOLOGISTS SAY, "HEY, COME - THANKSGIVG, COME CHRISTMAS, - COME THE WINTER, THIS IS GOING - TO BE WORSE BEFORE IT GETS - BETTER"? - >> I THINK THAT THERE IS - PANDEMIC FATIGUE HERE, LOCKDOWN - FATIE. - AND I THINK YOU'RE SEEING PEOPLE - VIOLATING IT RIGHT NOW. - I HE A NEIGHBOR WHO'S TOLD - THAT SHE'S HAVING PEOPLE INTO - THE HOUSE. - SHE'S JUST NOT GOING TO PAY - ATTENTION TO IT. - SHEK,'S, I THATE 60S, EARLY - 70S. - SO I THINK YOU'RE DEFINITELY - SEEING THAT PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF - IT. - THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING - ABLE TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. - AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE - RIGHT NOW. - AND NLCERTIF THE GOVERNMENT

- WEREN'T DOING THIS, IT COULD BE - A VERY, VERY BAD DECEMBER. - >> Sreenivasan: SO LET'S TALK A - LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REACTION IN - THE UNITED KINGDOM NOW AFTER THE - AP, THE BBC EVEN CALLED THE - ELECTION IN FAVOR OF JOE BIDEN. - >> THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION I - WAS OUT IN LONDON.TH - WAS RIGHT BEFORE WE WENT - INTO LOCKDOWN AND I TALKED TO - YOUNG LONDONERS. - AND WHAT I GOT FROM THEM WAS - VERY INTERESTING. - THEY WERE HOPING FOR A BLOW OUT - BY JOE BIDEN AND THE FACT THAT - IT WASN'T WAS DISAPPOINTING TO - THEM. - I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE - IN EUROPE AND HERE IN THE UNITED - KINGDOM IS A FEELING THAT IT WAS - E BIG, BIG BLUE WAVE THAT - E WOULD HAD HOPED FO - AND THAT THERE'S LESS TRUST AND - CONFIDENCE IN THE AMERICAN - POLITICAL SYSTEM. - IT USE ID TO BE FOREIGN POLI - EUROPE, FOR AMERICA WAS VERY - CONSISTENT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE - AISLE. - THAT'S NO LONGER TRUE. - AND SO THE CONCERN HERE WOULD BE - GET TO 2024 AND A DIFFERENT, S - MOVVY VERSION OF TRUMP - TAKES OVER AND THE POLICY THEN - RUNS AGAINSEUROPEAN INTERESTS.

- SO EA LOT OF PEOPLE OPE - TALKING ABOUT BEGINNING TO SORT - OF THINK ABOUT GOING THEIR OWN - WAY. - >> Sreenivasan: DOES THAT CAUSE - PEOPLE TO SECOND GUESS WHAT JOE - BIDEN CAN DO IF PERHAPS HIS - ROLLBACK OF WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP - DID IS ROLLED BACK AGAIN IN '24 - IF TRUMPISM EXISTS IN THE LONGER - ARC? - >> I THINK THAT THAT'S A BIG, - BIG CONCERN. - AND I THINK THERE'S A - RECOGNITION HERE THAT DONALD - TRP WAS A SYMPTOM OF MUCH - BIGGER CHANGES AND - DISSATISFACTION IN THE AMERICAN - POLITICAL SYST. - WE'VE SEEN THE POLARIZATION. - I THINK, HONESTLY, HAD JOE BIDEN - GOTTEN A 400-PLUS ELECTORAL VOTE - WIN TD HAD 55 SEATS - SENATE, I THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE - MUCH MORE CONFIDENT HERE IN - LONDON AND PARIS, BERLIN AND - PLACES LIKE THAT. - BUT IT WASN'T WHAT THEY HAD - HOPED FOR. - D SO I THINK THEY ARE VERY - CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE. - AND I THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP - REALLY DIDHANGE THE WAY MANY - PEOPLE IN EUROPE VIEW THE - AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM. - AND THAT'S NOT JUSAWGOING TO GO - WITH JOE BIDEN'S WIN. - BORIS JOHNSON, WHO HAS BEEN VERY

- CHUMMY AND AN ALLY IN SOME WAYS - OF PRIDT TRUMP NOW THAT JOE - BIDEN MIGHT BE THE NEXT - PRESIDENT? - >> WELL, IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS FOR - BORIS JOHNSON IN THE SHORT TERM. - AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, JOE BIDEN - IS NO FAN OF BORIS JOHNSON. - HE WAS AGAINST BREXIT AND - OBVIOUSLY JOHNSON CHAMPIONED IT. - AND SOMEONE LIKE JOE BIDEN, THE - CLASSIC TRANS-ATLANTICIST, SEES - XIT AS UNDERMINING EUROP - WHICH IS ACCURATE. - THAT REALLY IS DIVIDING EUROPE. - BATUT I THINK OVER TIME, - JOHNSON IS HOPING FOR IS THERE - ARE A LOT OF SHARED POLICY GOALS - TH YOU WOULD HAVE WITH THE - BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT HE - DIDN'T HAVE WITH THE TRUMP - ADMINISTRATION. - CLIMATE CHANGE, A PERFECT - EXAMPLE HERE IN THE UNITED - KINGD. - THE UNITED KINGDOM WILL BE - HOSTING THE NEXT BIG CLIMATE - CONFERENCE IN GLASGOW IN - NOVEMBER. - THAT'S A GREATPPORTUNITY FOR - BORIS JOHNSON TO FIND COMMON - ADMINISTRATION AND KIND OF GET A - LOT CLOSER, YBE REPAIR SE OF - THE DAMAGE OF THE TRUMP YEARS. - >> Sreenivasan: FRANK LANGFIS - JOININGOM LONDON FROM NPR,
