To know all the latest information on this election day in the U.S., we contacted Carlos
00:05
Montero, Telesur's Special Envoy to Washington.
00:07
Hi Carlos, what can you share with us at this hour?
00:12
So far so good, the polls are going to close in a few hours and the question is when we
00:20
are going to start to know the first exit poll.
00:23
It was election day with a lot of stir, you know, a lot of stake, you know, people are
00:30
worried what's going to happen, but there were not big incidents.
00:33
For instance, here in Washington, in the capital, a museum very close to where I was, a man
00:39
was arrested with a flare and a gun, but it was somebody who has some kind of mental issues.
00:46
The police is saying it was nothing to worry.
00:49
There were also some minor incidents in different voting places all over the country, but nothing
00:58
to worry.
00:59
Let me talk about the candidates.
01:01
Kamala Harris, the vice president, who closed last night her campaign in Pennsylvania, exhorting
01:09
his followers to vote for her, to ask him for a new America, America without hate, America
01:15
where we can love each other, and she's here already in the capital.
01:21
She's going to wait for the result in Howard University.
01:25
Howard University is a university that she studied a long time ago.
01:30
She was a freshman there and that has an important symbolic value for her.
01:36
On the other hand, Donald Trump, who closed the campaign in Michigan last night, really
01:41
late, two o'clock, I was waiting for him to see what he was going to say in the closing,
01:45
and really I had to wait a long time because he finished two o'clock.
01:50
He flew back to Florida and his headquarters, they are going to be, he's going to wait for
01:57
the result in one of the resorts he has in Florida, and he's going to be, he has something
02:03
really interesting in this world.
02:05
We talk so much about social media.
02:07
Elon Musk, the owner of X, he's been promoting very strongly Donald Trump.
02:14
He's going to be with him.
02:15
They are going to be together and they are going to be sharing information that we, you,
02:20
me, and a lot of people write on X of former Twitter.
02:25
So I mean, he's going to have information beforehand how the USA, they are reacting
02:32
about the election.
02:35
But we have to wait, like I was telling you before, no big incident.
02:40
Here in the Capitol, it's a beautiful day.
02:42
Something about when Donald Trump went to vote, he voted this noon in Florida, close
02:51
to his headquarters.
02:53
He said, I don't think it's going to be any trouble.
02:56
They were asking about the measure that is in Florida about abortion.
03:00
He didn't want to ask, to answer that question, how he vote.
03:08
He was really, really calm, different than last night when he really showed his age.
03:14
He was a little bit upset.
03:15
I don't know why, but he wasn't himself.
03:19
This morning he was a little more upbeat and he said he's going to wait and he believed
03:24
he's going to win this election.
03:27
They asked him, man, what's happen if you lose?
03:30
Your people are going to accept the result and he said, yes, of course they are going
03:33
to accept, but I'm going to win.
03:37
What about the polls?
03:40
So far it's a tie, but let's wait for the exit polls to see if there is any difference.
03:45
But so far we're still waiting.
03:47
In a few hours they are going to start the first states.
03:54
That's so important.
03:55
There are seven states.
03:56
They are swing states.
03:58
They can go like North Carolina, like Georgia, like Arizona.
04:02
They could go either way.
04:04
Philadelphia, so important.
04:06
So let's see what's happened there and we are going to have a better idea of this election
04:11
that's really historic, important, something we've never seen before in this country.
04:17
A campaign like the one we had that finished last night and the election like today.
04:21
But so far this is the formation we have right now and we are going to go back with you for
04:26
the moment and come back in any minute.
04:29
We have new information.
04:33
Thank you, Carlos, for all the firsthand information on this crucial event.
04:36
We will keep in contact for sure.
