Biden confident of win while Trump claims "legal votes" give him victory
President Trump says he has won the election, despite votes still being counted.
President Donald Trump has repeated the assertion that he has won the election, despite the fact that votes are still being counted.
The president complained of 鈥渢remendous corruption and fraud in the mail-in ballots", without giving any evidence for his claim. Legal mail-in ballots are still being counted in four states whose results will decide the election: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania. We get the latest from the 大象传媒's Samira Hussein in New York and Marketplace's Erika Beras in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Four years ago many Pollsters incorrectly predicted that Hilary Clinton would beat Donald Trump. This time around many said a 'blue wave' would sweep Joe Biden to power. So why are the pollsters continually getting it wrong? We ask Jeff Jones, Senior Editor at Gallup, one of America's biggest polling firms. Looking at an electoral map shows that urban America is mainly democratic while the rural part of the country is generally Republican. So why does rural America support Donald Trump and the Republican party? A question for Mike Stranz of the National Farmers Union of America.
All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show. Alexis Goldstein, an activist and a financial reform advocate based in Washington DC and Peter Morici an Economist from the University of Maryland, also in Washington.
