00:00We are now joined by our correspondent in Washington D.C., Carlos Montero, with further
00:06updates.
00:07The tie is now at 210 delegates for Kamala Harris and 230 for Donald Trump.
00:15Carlos, please join us and tell us what information do you have on your side?
00:20Well, I'm reading right now, I think it's something so precisely.
00:26I love sports, and Cardi B, you know, the singer, she has 36 million followers on Twitter.
00:37She wrote something that I think reflects how tough it is for Kamala Harris to reverse
00:44the situation.
00:45You were mentioning the numbers.
00:47She said, we need a Hail Mary.
00:50What's a Hail Mary?
00:51In American football, Hail Mary is the last, when the game is almost over, you are too
01:01far away from the end zone, is when you throw away the ball very high, you have to go very
01:07far, very far, and you have to hope that one of your teammates catch that ball and you
01:16can score the point.
01:18It's very difficult.
01:19It's like, that's the reason they call it Hail Mary, so that gives you an idea.
01:23I love sports.
01:24Maybe if you don't follow American football, it's not so precisely for you guys, but it's
01:31a miracle.
01:32In other words, you know, it's when the game is, when you're in soccer, in football, when
01:37you score a goal, when you are losing and you change it in extra time, you know, it's
01:43very difficult, but it could happen.
01:45The game is not over.
01:49The game is, November 5th is gone.
01:52We are November 6th.
01:54I don't think we are going to know the results today because the only way that Kamala Harris
02:02can reverse the situation in those three states we were talking before, what they call the
02:08blue wall, those three states in the north of Pennsylvania is one of them.
02:14Pennsylvania is really close to what's going on there.
02:17Even if she wins, she's going to win for very little.
02:21So I mean, they have to be very careful before giving you any kind of result or the media
02:27to give you any kind of projection.
02:29So I think it's already done today because, I mean, the followers, Kamala Harris, they
02:37said go to sleep.
02:39Tomorrow is going to be a new day.
02:41That's what they said, you know, the Democratic Party, the authorities of the party, go to
02:45sleep.
02:46It's too late already.
02:47Here in the East Coast, it is 12.30.
02:52Tomorrow is going to be a new day and they are hoping that Hail Mary, that last pass
02:58will change the game.
03:00But if that happens, let's say tomorrow we go to sleep tonight.
03:04What's happening if we go to sleep tonight and when we wake up tomorrow, we say no, Kamala
03:10Harris is ahead of Donald Trump.
03:13That's going to be, I don't know how he's going to react, Donald Trump, how they're
03:16going to react, his followers.
03:19So I mean, that could be, tomorrow is going to be another busy day, news regarding about
03:25this election tomorrow.
03:26I'm talking about today, in a few hours, when we go to sleep and we wake up tomorrow morning.
03:32So I mean, this long night is almost over and I think with the information we are dealing
03:39with right now, it's very difficult for you guys to get an information who's going to
03:45win the election.
03:46What I can tell you, before going back to you, the Congress, there is a big chance that
03:52the Republicans, they get control of the Senate.
03:57The numbers we are looking at, there is a big possibility they get control of the Senate.
04:02So that's going to be much easier if Donald Trump wins the election to try to do his policies
04:11because he's going to have a Congress, at least the Senate, who's going to be in his
04:16favor.
04:17Going back to you guys.
04:20Thank you, Carlos.
04:21As you were saying, it is a very long night.
04:23We appreciate all your reports and coming back and continue to give us all the information
04:29from the site.
04:30Thank you so much.
