Election night in America is usually just that. A night. Just one night.

Not in 2020. Not in a pandemic-afflicted year when so few things seem normal.

This is the story of the people at CBS News who brought you Election 2020 coverage that started on Tuesday and ended Saturday. At 11:25 AM eastern time, CBS News Elections and Surveys Director Anthony Salvanto piped into the internal communication channel at CBS News with a historic projection, "Joe Biden: win, Pennsylvania. Joe Biden elected president."

Those sentence fragments put to rest four days of national uncertainty. The race had been close, and while the president promised legal challenges, voters had spoken clearly: Joe Biden would be the next president.

Join Major Garrett for a behind the scenes look at CBS News's coverage of four days in November that shaped history.
