Now We Wait » 2020 Election Special Broadcast

📅 This event was originally broadcast on November 4, 2020.

The Mother Jones Podcast is going live with our "Day After" election special: You'll hear about how to understand what happened throughout this drag-out fight to 270 electoral votes, and where to look next for clarity in the final count, as the president fumes and threatens to steal the vote.

And we'll talk about the big picture: So, now we wait. This is the scenario that many were worried about: No clear outcome on the last day of voting. Instead, we'll have to wait for days, possibly weeks, depending on how vote counting and court battles play out. This isn't a shocker. The shift to mail-in ballots in many states, due to the pandemic, meant it was unlikely a winner could be declared within hours of polls closing. And though Trump had signaled he might try to claim victory in the midst of uncertainty, responsible folks realized the process would likely move forward and Americans would have to wait. In the coming days, you'll need that resolve. But the team here at Mother Jones is staying focussed on the facts, the context, and the story behind the headlines. On this show you'll hear from Washington DC Bureau Chief David Corn discuss the big trends from the night, and where to look for results next. You'll get to the bottom of the Miami-Dade count that cost Biden Florida, with reporter Noah Lanard; and you'll hear about flipping Arizona, with our reporter Fernanda Echavarri.
