00:00The president of the United States is going to take office in January.
00:05Kamala Harris already congratulated him.
00:08Joe Biden also congratulated him.
00:10And in a few moments, the Democratic American president, Joe Biden, will speak
00:14after Donald Trump has won.
00:19This is live in Washington, D.C., in the Capitol.
00:23It is expected that the American president will speak in a few moments.
00:29A defeat by the Democratic Party that they did not expect.
00:33Kamala Harris, the candidate for the Democratic Party, said,
00:37we did not expect, we did not work for these results.
00:40But they accepted, of course, the result and said,
00:44we are going to do everything to make the transfer of command well.
00:48Well, reaffirming a little the importance of democratic institutions,
00:52which was feared if the result was very renewed or if Donald Trump came to lose,
00:58which did not happen because Donald Trump swept.
01:01If you look at the maps and the colors,
01:04you can see the entire map painted in the color of the Republican Party.
01:09We are going to communicate with Adrian Sack, our correspondent there in Florida,
01:14to tell us how everything is in these special days for the United States.
01:18Adrian, how are you, Cata?
01:21How are you, Cata?
01:22How are you?
01:23As you can see and as the flag here does not let me lie,
01:26the flag of the United States is very windy in this Palm Beach,
01:29where, well, it has a little to do too, right?
01:32The wind is almost a metaphor for the speed with which power is changing hands,
01:37because right here, a few blocks from where we are right now,
01:42Joe Biden's teams are gathering,
01:46who is going to speak now in Washington.
01:48We are already seeing the preview.
01:51Of course.
01:53But Joe Biden's team,
01:56headed by his Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen,
02:00who is the Minister of Economy,
02:02is meeting here in Palm Beach
02:04with those who will be in charge of directing the economic decisions
02:10of the new administration of Donald Trump,
02:13which will be assumed on January 20.
02:16These are the technical teams for now.
02:18It's like the FMI meetings, right?
02:20Yes.
02:21But they are starting to outline issues that have to do,
02:24above all, with making joint strategies
02:27to see how they are going to position themselves,
02:30for example, with the cut in interest rates,
02:34which are very important here for the average citizen of the United States,
02:39who is always calculating how much he spends every month with his credit card
02:44or how much the mortgage of his house is going to be.
02:48Here, 65% of Americans have bought the house where they live with mortgages,
02:55through mortgages at 15 and 30 years old.
02:57And what the Federal Reserve does is very important
03:00to be able to adjust the family budget here.
03:04So, that's what we're talking about now.
03:07But, Cata, I would like to make a small comment
03:11about what you just said, very accurately,
03:14about the electoral result.
03:17Although, well, already with the numbers,
03:20we are almost having the final scrutiny.
03:24We are missing the states of Nevada and Arizona,
03:27but it is very striking.
03:29It cannot be said that the elections were lost by Kamala Harris,
03:34rather than won by Donald Trump.
03:38If you take into account the projection to the final scrutiny,
03:44Donald Trump got a million votes less than in 2020,
03:47when he lost to Joe Biden.
03:49He would get close to 73 million,
03:52even more, 72.7 million,
03:55and in 2020 he had obtained more than 74 million votes.
04:00But Kamala Harris got 13 million less votes
04:06than Joe Biden in 2020,
04:08when she defeated Donald Trump by 7 million.
04:11An interesting victory.
04:12A really very thin victory.
04:14Yes, yes, yes.
04:16It was an irreversible trend that Trump won
04:19when he claimed to be the winner of these elections,
04:22but all this definitive counting was missing,
04:24that the Democratic Party was just waiting
04:27to speak, to say something.
04:29Now the votes are almost total,
04:32and Joe Biden is about to speak.
04:34Adri, what we are going to do is,
04:35we are going to take a break,
04:36because in an instant,
04:37these images that we are taking live,
04:39on screen with you, Adri,
04:41are imminent.
04:42Joe Biden is about to speak,
04:44and speak precisely about the triumph of Donald Trump
04:47and the peaceful transition that Kamala Harris is promising,
04:51the vice president and ex-candidate,
04:53as well as Joe Biden.
04:55So we'll be back with you, Adri,
04:57and we'll be in touch with Washington, with Florida.
