| 0:00.0 | I'm Brian Lehrer. This is my daily politics podcast from WNYC Studios. It's Tuesday, November 24th. |
| 0:15.4 | Pennsylvania has voted to certify the presidential election result. Joe Biden won there by 88,000 votes, and that's now certified in Pennsylvania. |
| 0:24.6 | So that puts another nail in the coffin of President Trump's attempts to nullify the vote. |
| 0:31.8 | Theoretically, the state senate and state house in Pennsylvania and Michigan and elected officials in Georgia could still |
| 0:40.8 | overturn the certifications, though that would be really difficult. |

| 1:47.5 | outcome of the election and how does that set up the new administration? We'll also ask in this |
| 1:53.5 | segment, why did white women vote mostly for Donald Trump? Again, we'll explore this question now |
| 1:59.7 | with Kat Stafford, National Race and Ethnicity |
| 2:02.3 | Reporter for the Associated Press, and Julie Kohler, host of the new Wonder Media Network podcast, |
| 2:08.6 | White Picket Fence, which explores what she calls the fractured and often frustrating politics |
