In addition, despite all the efforts of the Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch and other hard-hitting media campaigns, his down-ballot performance has been strong in that Dem projections of Blue Waves in Senate and House have simply not even been ripples. In fact, Dems may be worse off rather than better off in the new Congress..

You'd wonder if it was either

A. The support for trump helped the GOP down ballot because trump
B. The assumption that Biden had it in the bag and typical GOP voters wanted to ensure there was a check on his power.

I would love it if both the GOP and the Democrats publicly committed to running a woman in 2024 (presuming Biden wins, and only does one term).

Never, ever going to happen though! I just want to see the lunatics froth at the mouth, with no one to vote for except a woman.

Ah now, no earthly reason to go down that route. Kamala Harris will be the Dems nominee in any event as she'll almost certainly take over after the mid terms should Biden win.

Who thinks Trump won't run again?

There's a 50/50 chance that the only running he'll do is around the prison yard. I'm only giving it 50/50 because I'm not sure he can run.

AP correct in how they are calling so far?

Biden 264, Trump 214

Biden closing in at a rate of knots in Georgia

When will Georgia finish counting?

Mr.Nice Guy

Less than 60,000 votes in the Georgia race. CNN estimates 185,000 uncounted votes. Biden needs 65-67% of them to take it. CNN say he's currently taking 71% of them. This is doable.

Huh?
This is a man who sues everyone for everything to try to intimidate them. Given that it won't be his money that'll be being spent he'll have them in court as long as they possibly can.

Trump's lawsuits generally have him standing to gain something, even if it's just a countersuit to stop himself getting done on something. He would have nothing to gain from a lawsuit over the PA vote if it ended up not even mattering to the overall result, so I don't see him pursuing it.

Trump now looks not just like loosing, but getting his ass handed to him. 264/214....

CNN estimates there's 185,000 remaining votes in Georgia.
Trump needs 31-33%.
Biden needs 65-67%.

Biden currently polling at >70%.

There is a big gap between their news team and their opinion team. The news team called Arizona super early for whatever reason and got loads of flak for it from the Trump team/opinion side of their station.

However Arizona is the only difference between them and every other news station. Maybe they just want to be first but if Arizona gets close I reckon a few of them may get fired as it has to have been massively contentious in the building.

This. The Fox news guys aren't so bad. Brett Baeir and Chris Wallace particularly. It's the opinion guys masquerading as news that are the problem.

Since 1913, there have only been 5 presidential candidates who sought re-election and failed....

Apparently Biden needs to win about 64% of the remaining uncounted Pennsylvania votes to win. The last 10% that were counted went 74% Biden. So that's why they're getting so antsy in the Trump camp about Pennsylvania.

Trump phoned Murdoch screaming down the phone for a retraction and he said "no".

Sen. Josh Hawley from Missouri is my early pick.

Lincoln Project REGULARLY ran ads to undermine Trump-supporting Senators such as Collins, Graham, Mc Connell etc. Like the $200 million pumped into Mc Grath's and Harrisons campaigns alone, not a lot to show for it...

Interesting that the Lincoln Project were able to spend over three times what they raised..

Because they're still a news station and want to be first.

If Biden takes Georgia (I was sure Trump had it last night) in a close race it's a baffling result. For the polls to be 10 points off in other states but get Georgia right shows the issue with the polling isn't just a simple "Shy Trump" vote.

They very likely won’t. Also by doing so the reputational damage that the Republicans might endure as a result of this would last a long time, could be 20 plus years before they’d have the capabilities to get a president elected...

I'd say the hard news side of the house would be in conflict with the opinion side of the house.

When something comes down to a simple matter of fact there's no percentage in not calling it.

I don't think Fox love Trump. They love Republicans though.

Sounds like Trump is about to find out who his real friends are.

I don't expect it to take long.
