TUNE IN: A @CBSNews SPECIAL REPORT as @JoeBiden addresses the nation after the #ElectoralCollege votes. Watch on your local @CBS station or stream live on CBSN: CBSNEWS.com/live Image
@CBSNews @JoeBiden @CBS BIDEN: "306 electoral votes is the same number of electoral votes that Donald Trump and Vice President Pence received when they won in 2016."
@CBSNews @JoeBiden @CBS Incredible that a president-elect has to stand here tonight before the country and cite more than 80 court cases, rejected attempts before state legislatures, and quote an ex-cybersecurity official to try to convince a sitting president's supporters that the election is over.
@CBSNews @JoeBiden @CBS "We need to work together to give each other a chance, to lower the temperature, and most importantly, we need to stand together in solidarity as fellow Americans," Biden says.
@CBSNews @JoeBiden @CBS "I know the task before us won't be easy. It's tempered by the pain so many of us are felling. Today, our nation passed a grim milestone: 300,000 deaths due to this covid virus." - Biden

WILMINGTON, Del. — @JoeBiden formally introduces @PeteButtigieg as his nominee for transportation secretary. Touts that he now has nine “precedent-busting appointments,” including several other gender and racial firsts.
Biden says Buttigieg will help oversee the second “American railroad revolution” that links suburbs and cities and makes it easier for Americans to commute. Also says DOT will be a key part of his “Build Back Better” plans.
Secretary-Designate @PeteButtigieg recalls his long love of transportation. Notes he proposed to husband @Chasten at an airport terminal. “Don’t let anyone tell you that O’Hare isn’t romantic,” he quips. Image

NEW ⁦@CBSNewsPoll⁩: Most feel election is "settled" but @RealDonaldTrump’s voters disagree cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-…
FROM THE POLL: 82% of Trump voters say they don’t consider Mr. Biden legitimate and almost half of the president’s voters say Mr. Trump should refuse to concede after that Electoral College vote happens, and instead do all he can to stay in power.
Most voters say their own vote and the votes in their state were recorded and counted correctly. Includes most Dems, R’s and independents. So, much of the doubt among Trump voters appears to stem from a belief about things that they feel happened with other peoples' ballots.

NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: @JoeBiden up 2 in Florida; @realDonaldTrump up 2 in Texas: ImageImage
In Florida, the contest has tightened since our last poll in July, from 6 points down to 2 now, amid an ebbing — if still sizable — concern about coronavirus, while President Trump has picked up a few more of the state's remaining uncertain voters. cbsnews.com/news/trump-bid…
IMPORTANT: New @CBSNewsPoll’s in FL and TX finished just before the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So it remains unknown how a court vacancy might shape the presidential race in these and other states.

Speaking from Wilmington, Del. on the subject of climate change and the western wildfires, @JoeBiden says the country is facing four historic crises at the same time: The Pandemic, an economic crisis, a reckoning on race and "undeniable acceleration" of climate change.
@JoeBiden "Wildfires don't skip towns that voted a certain way," @JoeBiden says. "The impacts of climate change don't pick and choose. That's because it's not a partisan phenomenon. It's science."
@JoeBiden The president didn't cause the fires, @JoeBiden says, but if @realDonaldTrump gets a second term, "these hellish events will continue to become more common."
