Wolf Blitzer, CNN commentator:
“Now we can announce the winner of the presidential race.”
After days of hanging around, CNN was the first broadcaster to venture out of coverage. Moderator Wolf Blitzer announced Joe Biden’s election victory at 11:25 am local time on Saturday.
Wolf Blitzer, CNN commentator:
“This victory makes Kamala Harris the first woman and first person of color to serve as vice president. Again, CNN proclaims Joe Biden the 46th president of the United States.”
The other news channels followed suit a little later. The moment of decision was there. Biden supporters in New York celebrate with the song “YMCA,” which Donald Trump had last recorded during his performances. Trump’s opponents across the country have now let their feelings run wild in various ways.
And Donald Trump? He learned of his electoral defeat at his golf course in the US state of Virginia. And he was silent. Not so, Kamala Harris, who picked up the phone and dialed Joe Biden’s number. Donald Trump returned to the White House later that day, where more and more Biden supporters celebrated the election victory. Trump announced a bit later on Twitter that he did not recognize Biden’s victory. One will complain.
It is documented how some lawyers on Trump’s team lived through the decision. At a press conference in Philadelphia, which featured former New York Mayor and Trump adviser Rudy Guiliani.
Rudy Giuliani, attorney for Trump’s campaign team:
“Who announced it? Oh my gosh: all channels. Wow: all channels.” We have to forget about the law. The judges do not count. “All the broadcasts, all the broadcasts. All the broadcasters thought Biden would win 10 percent. But what happened? Come on, don’t be ridiculous. The broadcasters can’t decide elections. The courts can.”
Here too: No idea the choice was made. The press conference of the lawyers was already under a bad star. Apparently there was an error choosing the location. Instead of being in front of the city’s “Four Seasons” hotel, the lawyers found themselves in front of the unadorned building of a landscaping business with a similar name.
