I have a bit of a feeling , now that the Senate races are done , that they will sit down and think that controlling the Senate and having tilted the Supreme court for a generation that that might be enough for them for now.

They'll allow him to have his hissy fit today but the counts will continue and the results will stand.

That doesn't diminish the damage he's doing to their democratic structures and their Global standing.

The whole world is watching and cringing at his behaviour.

They have an interesting dilemma. In 2018 the GOP were hit by a sizeable blue wave but now in 2020 they made back up some of that ground in part thanks to Trump being on the ballot.

Mitch was talking earlier about his concerns to have lost the suburbs but do they see them able to win them back by dumping Trump and risk alienating Trump's base?

Biden - 61,000 ahead in Michigan, and more than 1% in the lead, so no automatic recourse to a recount if it finishes like that

Will Trump speak tonight?

I reckon it will depend on what Biden says in a few minutes. Trump might call a snap presser because he always needs to reply.

When will we know for sure who won? Trump talking about a recount etc...

I see RTE new could not do basic maths. They have Trump winning it with PA, NC and GA

Are the Republican Party heirarchy going to do anything to reign him in I wonder? They must realise that if they continue to hitch themselves to his antics, they risk damaging their party's standing in the future. Trump is not GOP establishment, and if he does lose will disappear off to chat shows and conspiracy theory sites, or celebrity endorsements afterwards. The GOP will have to pick up pieces from whatever damage he does.

Of course they won't, and based off this election why would they?
Everything Trump has done, the 1 million things that would sink any other politician and yet still near half the country voted for him? It's quite frankly unbelievable. A man who allowed soldiers of his country, his army to be killed, the nepotism, the caging of children, his handling of covid, the blatant corruption and disregard of the democratic process, his throttling of the USPS and fanning of racial flames and yet he'll still get near 50% of the vote..
It's the pure apathy of the American voter that doesn't offer any incentive for the Republicans to change. They'll simply run another, more palatable candidate next time round, if not Trump again, becasue let's be honest, who's going to beat him for the Republican nominee?
America's only hope is that he is locked up by then, or at least in court answering his many very serious crimes. But the current Republican party will go on.

The Republican party is the American fascist party, that's their brand.

I'd say it will be on Dec 8th when the EC meets and votes.

What a statesman speech by Biden

Really nice to hear someone that coherent

Mr.Nice Guy

Sensible words from Biden. Such a contrast to the tantrum tweets of Trump. Future generations will marvel how America could have been so polarised over the choices on offer.

CNN projects Michigan for Biden.

TomOnBoard

Biden speaking now..

murpho999

Biden says he's not going to declare victor but believes he'll be the winner at the end.

His speech was more victorious in tone.

He did well though.

No doubt Trump will give a dignified concession speech later tonight.:D

CNN have called Michigan for Biden.

(re) Build That Wall Joe

Patser

Biden sounding very Presidential in his speech there, talking all about healing and working together while clearly stating he's not naive to think this will be easy - but has stepped up as a composed, ready leader. The contrast with Trump's theatrics is stark

Michigan now called for Biden by CNN.

What a big mess this whole thing is. MSM, Big tech and $35 billion of George Soros have a lot to answer for by making a sham of the whole process. From deplatforming conservative voices, MSM's wall to wall negative coverage and big "dark" money flooding into Democrats pockets. This election will be decided in the Supreme Court. Way too many rules were changed by the state courts during the election cycle that will ultimately get overturned by the SCOTUS.

Biden just knocked it out of the park
Congrats President

StringerBell

Flip Arizona, hold Nevada and thats that. Get PA for the exclamation mark

trump will now need to run the table

theguzman

Ted Cruz would have eaten Biden for Breakfast and he will be the next Republican President post-Trump, I feel certain that Trump will still emerge from this as President by some type of Court victory, he will follow it to the Supreme Court and win I feel. In 2024 will it be Don Jr. or Ivanka but I think Cruz is the man, I liked the Donald and picked him as my winner back in 2015 and I'm staying with him, lets be honest Biden is absolutely hopeless and shows how inept the Dems are themselves that he was their guy. Joe Kennedy III would have been my pick but he has regressed in his political career, AOC will probably run in 2024 unless the Dems give the nod to Kamala Harris should Biden miraculously win this still.

My God, how good it listening to a real man speak on behalf of the United States..

Whatever you need to help you sleep my man.

The ultimate populist trying to steal an election and stifle the will of the people through a court he has packed is just the height of irony, and the lemmings will still follow.

I do hope there are legal challenges, that should open the door for Biden to have those ballots counted that were missing in Florida and maybe even pad the win a little more. The SC having to rule against its own rulings isn't really going to happy though so unfortunately most of those "too many rule changes" that were implemented on Republican legal challenges for example won't really help trump steal the election, his judges in place or not.

I’m 100% serious here — you should seek mental health assistance. This is not a healthy place for any human mind to be.

Trump banked on having the war in PA, after the election. Turns out Biden may not need it.

Mr.Nice Guy

Pennsylvania looking promising.

CNN calling Michigan for Biden

Itssoeasy

That was a good speech by joe Biden. He sounded like he had put time into what he said and not just a word salad. I see Michigan has gone to Biden. So if he gets Nevada and Arizona that’s it.

“To make progress we have to stop treating opponents as enemies, we are not enemies”

Could you imagine Trump ever saying something like that?

Faugheen

It might not have been the landslide that was forecast but Biden said he’d get the blue wall back and it looks like he will do just that.

That’s an excellent performance, especially when it wasn’t looking so promising earlier on.
