Why is Trump insisting in AZ? there's nothing there for him

Because he is desperate and on the precipice of joining Jimmy Carter and Poppy Bush as one-term losers

[Horus]

fink nooooo

Huh?

Finkenauer lost in IA-01.

Not really surprising. She barely won in a D midterm and the district is demographic hell for Dems.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

The minimum wage initiative has passed in Florida - cleared the 60% threshold.

Time for a purge of the FDP.

Finkenauer lost in IA-01.

The House was pretty bad for Dems all around. We lost a lot of good freshman from Cunningham in SC to Horn in OK to Quetzalcoatl Small in NM. RIP FFs

How do you think this changes things in the future?

The Presidency aside, I'm legit upset about Cunningham, Horn, and Torres-Small.

But...but moderate heroes!

Let this be the death of third-way DLC politics.

LOL You think a further left candidate would have done better? Eastmann got obliterated in NE-2, which Biden carried comfortably.

If this is correct my god

Not a single candidate should concede for a few weeks frankly.

I wonder if IA-2 flips as well. Miller-Meeks has a 282 vote margin with >99% counted, according to DecisionDeskHQ.

[Bojack Horseman]

Looks like Elissa Slotkin hung on. After redistricting she should be a long-term figure in the House.

[Former Crackhead Mike Lindell]

"DON'T VOTE BY MAIL - VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY!"

"NOOOOOOOO WHY ARE NONE OF MY SUPPORTERS VOTING BY MAIL??"

[Buzz]

So disappointed in my home state.

[MillennialModerate]

It seems to me Arizona, NV, WI and MI are all still up for grabs.

I feel like talk on here is premature and is the same kind of talk that made “doomers” feel like idiots.

[Sir Mohamed]

Don't want to panic, but new vote dump in PA, from 76% to 78% in, Biden not really closing the gap. Still down by about half a million. Holy moly, if this is 270-268.

Doomers were right to doom.  Look at the race.

Probably, although I'm not sure by how much. Their ideas are clearly more popular at the ballot box. If the Republican campaign had been baited into arguing more on the issues instead of decency porn because they mistakenly thought they were winning, the contours of the campaign might have been different. Just maybe, the groups which voted disproportionately for progressive candidates in primaries wouldn't be abandoning Democrats faster than anyone else.

Eastmann got obliterated in NE-2, which Biden carried comfortably.

Indeed. Eastman was a special case, having been done over by the previous Democratic Congressman.

The more Democrats run away from their own platform under the pretext of electability, the less they should expect anyone to believe in it.

Wayne County new batch

Biden 41372
Trump 20570

Still reasonable amount of vote remaining.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Why hasn't Alaska been called yet?

[Nyvin]

Do we know who is up in ME-02 for president? I want as much insurance as possible in case PA doesn't flip and in case Nebraska decides to change its EV split system after the fact.

The Republicans don't have a filibuster-proof majority in the legislature so they can't change the EV split. They've tried and failed.

Is that filibuster constitutionally entrenched?

No, they can end it with a rule change.   Unclear if there's the political will for that though.

But Arizona hardly has any meat he can grab on. he lost quite early on last night. sounds foolish

[Podgy the Bear]

Concerned about AZ at 86% of vote and only 93000 vote lead for Biden.  Same day vote--and where is the remaining vote coming from?

[Inmate Trump]

Trump will challenge anything that close in court.

*IF* a faithless elector doesn’t royally screw it all up.

[forsythvoter]

Michigan is gone for Trump. PA and GA are the ones to watch now

Wayne County new batch

Biden 41372
Trump 20570

Still reasonable amount of vote remaining.
