Trump campaign is now suing to immediately end the vote count in Pennsylvania, so they feel they will lose there if all votes get counted. But not Arizona, as they need all the votes counted there that they can. It would be hilariously pathetic if it wasn't so serious.

Well, Biden might just limp this one out. MI was called for him, he only needs 6 more electoral votes now, and NV is a 49.3 to 48.7 right now with 75% of votes counted.

Unsurprising with Kemp the Paper-shredder in charge.
Seriously, fuck that guy.

Dens have also lost 6 seats in the house so far too. I don't think that's enough to flip the house (or that it would flip period) but man, sure wasn't the blue wave everyone was hoping for.

It seems that while Trump's over performance across the board will be insufficient to win him reelection, it was sufficient to significantly benefit Republicans down ballot. I think 2022 is gonna be a shit show.
I think Biden is a lock. The outstanding votes in Nevada are located in Las Vega and and Vegas is why NV generally ends up blue in presidential elections. We'll know for sure tomorrow. I think the real questions are Georgia and Pennsylvania. Biden has slashed through Trump's election day lead in PA (today out of over 1.3 million ballots tallied, Biden won over 1m while Trump garnered a paltry 350k. There are still something like a million ballots uncounted and most of them aren't in a position where they can be contested. Trump might still win it, but if the current rate continues in the final million ballots he won't.
In Georgia, Biden has reduced Trump's lead to a mere 35k with a few hundred still outstanding. Shit is weird. Not sure what's going on with North Carolina.

Well, I for one look forward to a more peaceful, and slow news cycle for the next 4 years... hopefully. Even if the US continues to be composed of a surprisingly high amount of bootlickers, at least it won't feel like whiplash every day.

With a mostly unconfirmed cabinet, no laws of note passing... It'll be pretty shitty

I eagerly await the GOF deciding Biden doesn't deserve a SCOTUS pick for 2 years.
