| 0:00.0 | All right, let's delve more into some of the election results data. |
| 0:03.8 | For a look at where the president elect won big, where Vice President Harris struggled, |
| 0:08.3 | and some of the down-ballot races that we're watching. |
| 0:10.9 | Let's turn to Lisa Desjardin at the PBS News Superscreen. |
| 0:15.4 | Hey, Lisa, so bring us up to speed on the race for the presidency. |
| 0:18.7 | What is left to count? |
| 0:19.9 | All right, where are we after all of that? First of all, Donald Trump has won the entirety of the blue wall. |
| 0:26.8 | What's left? Well, he has 295 electoral votes. Right that. That includes a call today. Alaska. He picked up the three electoral votes there as expected. |

| 1:31.4 | The number of votes he got also consistently going up. Kamala Harris, fewer votes than Joe Biden |
| 1:38.6 | received in 2020. Let's talk about where this happened and where we see especially problems for Harris. |
