"ohn James, a Republican who ran against Senator Gary Peters of Michigan in a tight contest, is refusing to concede, citing vague and unsupported claims of cheating"

Hopefully he f***s off and gets out of politics after his latest loss. Go back to cosplaying hellfire missiles and your sham corporation.

Can't wait till SC overturns PA

I was actually kinda missing your presence from this board until I saw this post and remembered “oh yeah you’re kind of a bad person”

DTJr. calls out Ron DeSantis and Josh Hawley, presumably Cruz, Rubio, and Haley as well (thread)

He actually called them out generally with the exception of Hawley and DeSantis.

Trump is already making plans to run in 2024. I can hardly wait (sarcasm)

what a good sport.

It is not controversial to point out that Joe Biden is not a popular or charismatic politician. Either is Kamala Harris - hence the Democrat primaries.

So there needs to be some careful analysis of the vote count. IMHO a significant number of the votes are down to the 'get rid of Trump' sentiment, and likely very little to do with any enthusiasm for Biden.

That. Does. Not. Matter.

Biden. Will. Win.

Trump. Will. Lose.

The Trumps are a cancer on this country and the Republican Party. Wheel Don off to a nursing home where he can cheat at golf all day and pretend the paintings are talking to him.

He was gonna concede, then he saw a snide comment on the internet/s

Biden flipped Tarrant Co. in Texas it appears.

I so hope Valenzuela is able to catch up and flip TX-24.... Also we must make sure Bagel knows of this glorious news.

PA SOS: 326k votes to be counted.

Biden needs 64% of them then.

Which Biden is getting more than comfortably.

Take the 80-90K he's going to get from Philadelphia County.  

Then he needs barely half of the remaining ballots.  He's blowing out this number from a red or blue county.

[lfromnj]

Btw in Nevada house races NV03/NV04 are 83% and 88% in. NV01 is only 75% in. I wouldn't have called NV for Biden just on Clark being as Clark isn't that D. However most of whats left out is in the most D district so Biden should have Nevada .


I do wonder if Trump won NV04 while losing NV03 which is actually the reverse of the 2016 results.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

If a generic live-and-let-live center-left Democrat without much personality beat Ilhan Omar in a primary, I doubt people like our Kiwi friend would be saying that that candidate's lack of charisma made their victory suspicious.

326K * 78% = 228,443

Biden's Leads: 188K

Although I have a positive opinion of Biden from a personal perspective, my vote for him was primarily motivated by a desire to get Trump out. As I've said several times before, I strongly dislike Kamala Harris and voted for Biden in spite of her.

Omgg georgia come on...

[OSR stands with Israel]

Trump will win imo.

Can you briefly stop posting or something? It is really annoying. Saying Trump is going to win 10 times in slightly different forms gets tedious.

Trump will win GA AZ. SC rules on PA.

Funny thing, when CA and NY are finally all in, Biden will have a larger share of the vote then Reagan in 80.
And that was allegedly a mandate that hasn’t ended 40 years later.

Biden didn’t win the PV by 10 points

He only had that margin because Anderson took votes that mostly likely would have gone to Carter otherwise.

Reagan without Anderson probably wins 53.5-45.5

How long is this going to drag out?

Surely they’re putting people on overtime and working all night to count right?  Like, they’re not just working business hours, is it?  Honestly, it doesn’t even seem like they’re working regular business hours.  At the current rate they’re counting, we won’t know anything anytime soon.  Weeks or next month.

And Reagan barely broke 50% of the PV.

And won 489 EV , and republicans gained 12 senate seats

The first thing Biden needs to do as president is impose sanctions on the R*ssia. I don't care for what or why, just impose sanctions.

Sh*t like this (spending so much time and energy on being outraged by Trump's personality and stuff like Russiagate than on putting forward an alternative vision for the country) is one reason for why your party is seeing these disappointing results.

Cool story bro. Reality is a bit different.....

Russia has repeatedly attacked our election infrastructure, and has suffered zero consequences. Last I heard in, in 2016, Russia at least attempted to hack into election sites in almost every state in the country. While that may not matter to republicans (who scream nonstop about made up voter fraud) to democrats it's a direct threat to democracy, and a President Joe Biden has (to my personal delight) promised direct, aggressive and disproportional retaliation cyber attacks as long as Russia continues this behavior. This should make any real, patriotic American THRILLED (which, of course, explains why it makes republicans throw temper tantrums).

Disappointing results? We're about to win Georgia and Arizona. Biden will end up with a bigger popular vote victory than Obama in '12. Cry harder.

That’s kind of my point. The system is such that a resounding victory for Democrats by a reasonable standard, like who actually got the most support, is nailbiter.
