Washington Today (11-5-24): Election Day 2024

It is Election Day. Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump says he will concede defeat to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris if he loses fairly, “so far I think it’s been fair.”

Kamala Harris posting on X: "Generations of Americans led the fight for freedom—including the freedom to vote. Now, the baton is in our hands. Don’t miss your chance. Make a plan, grab a friend, and vote"

We hear from the Presidential nominee and their Vice-Presidential running mates, Tim Walz (D) and JD Vance (R), plus updates from the top election officials in three battleground states – Georgia, Michigan and Arizona – and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

Plus, Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith talk about the heightened election-related security measures in the nation's capital.

And the Machinists union ends its 7-week strike against Boeing. Local union president Jon Holden says the new contract ratified by his members is a victory.
