Governor Thomas E Dewey today conceded the
presidential election to President Truman under a New York dateline. The Associated Press has not conceded
a total of 218 electoral votes to General Eisenhower. The new popular vote reporting now
45% of the popular vote is in. At 7:19 AM Eastern Time, Senator Kennedy was elected
President of the United States.
The results in yesterday's general
election are still trickling in. The latest figure shows
President Johnson nearly 41 and three quarter million, Senator Goldwater
nearly 26 and one quarter million. Nixon it's the one, that's the natural
banner for any front page tonight. At almost midday eastern time,
NBC News projected Richard Nixon the 37th president of the United States, when it
became evident he had carried Illinois.
Now if you wanna put
the electoral board up, we can see the dimensions of Mr.
Nixon's landslide tonight. Jimmy Carter, by our calculation has
won Presidency of the United States and Gerald R Ford has lost the first
election of his entire life. You've seen the map,
we've looked at the figures, and NBC now makes its projection for
the Presidency. Reagan is our projected winner,
Ronald Wilson Reagan, of California,
a sports announcer, a film actor.
Good evening, everyone, I'm Tom Brokaw,
at the NBC News Election Headquarters, and NBC News now is able to project the
re-election of Ronald Wilson Reagan the 73 year old president of the United States. The winner of this contest
with Walter Fritz Mondale. Good evening once again and vice president George Bush who's been
living in government housing for the past eight years will continue
to live in government housing. He'll move from Massachusettes Avenue
to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
NBC news now projects that George Bush
is president-elect of the United States. We're back now and we have a whole
run of presidential projections for you. They all belong to Bill Clinton,
he has passed the magic number of 270. The governor of Arkansas who was
once described as being 40 at 16 and then 16 at 40, in terms of his
behavior during those races, he is now elected President of the United
States according to our projection.
Tonight, Bill Clinton proves
his title, 'The Comeback Kid.' He is our projected winner as
President of the United States. Tonight, 35 days after he first
prepared a concession speech, Vice President Al Gore will
give up his long fight for the presidency in a nationally
televised speech. And Texas Governor, George W. Bush will follow with his first
speech to the country as President elect.
What has been the most bitterly contested
presidential election in modern history is now expected to turn to notes
to grace and reconciliation. Giving Nevada to President Bush, with its five electoral votes,
gives the President 274 electoral votes. He needed 270 to be reelected, so we are now saying George W Bush
has been reelected. We have news.
There will be young children
in the White House for the first time since
the Kennedy generation. An African-American has broken
the barrier as old as the Republic. An astonishing candidate,
an astonishing campaign, a seismic shift in American politics. Hang on Chuck, hang on Chuck.
Here we go. We've got some critical calls. Yes we do. Let's see hear, roll them.
Ohio, President Barack Obama remains President of the United States for
a second term..
