2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

[Siorac]

Insensitive but Cubans really need to get over this Castro nonsense, its been like 70 years and the mans been in the grave for four.

Also, Biden is about as close to Castro as Florida is to being a normal state with sane people.

 

[WI_Red]

If biden cant swing florida he cant hope to swing texas

Not saying you’re wrong, but Florida is a fecking weird place.

 

[Siorac]

Biden is not winning TX guys.

Look at the per county data.

Focus on PA, OH and NC. (and AZ soon)

But it being so close is still encouraging overall.

After adding PR and DC the next push should be to get rid of Florida.

 

[Ubik]

Decent sign, taking what I can get right now

Betting odds are so weird. In the last 10 minutes Bidens gone from 1.85 to 1.55 and back to 1.8.

Dont forget the odds change depending on what people are betting on exchanges right?

 

[altodevil]

Nate Silver may well be dead by morning. 538 in shambles.

 

[SinNombre]

But it being so close is still encouraging overall.

100% for the reasons mentioned earlier

2 more cycles before it goes blue is my prediction.

 

[Kentonio]

Biden is not winning TX guys.

Obviously it’s very unlikely, but the huge turnout will make for a fascinating night.

 

[SinNombre]

Nate Silver may well be dead by morning. 538 in shambles.

And people need to stop using him as gospel.

So many people here were claiming RCP was "rubbish".

 

[McGrathsipan]

Ireland. I started at 8pm my time

Good man. I hope you bought the nurofen

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Wow that CNN stat about Trump overperforming in only 1 county in Ohio is pretty encouraging

 

[Zlaatan]

The under/over performing numbers in Ohio looks good so far for Biden, only 50% counted though.

 

[Siorac]

Wow that CNN stat about Trump overperforming in only 1 county in Ohio is pretty encouraging

And Biden underperforming in 0.

 

[mu4c_20le]

But it being so close is still encouraging overall.

It is. Obama and Hillary lost by 16 and 9 pts there respectively.

Hopefully the ghost of John McCain fecks Trump in the arse like he deserves!

 

[Lj82]

Oh wow CNN says that Ohio expects a lot more early votes, that so far only 29% of the counted votes are early votes. That is fecking great if true.

Yup. That is very reassuring.
Looks like Biden will flip Ohio.

CNN's coverage is great i feel.

 

[berbatrick]

I don't know about early vs election day, but looking at NC couties, Durham, Raleigh (Wake), Chapel Hill (Orange), and Charlotte (Mecklenburg) are all >80% called while the state is at 73%, so his lead will reduce.

Opposite is true in VA and Georgia with the DC suburbs, Atlanta and its suburbs, and Athens, all undercounted but Trump's leads in both are much more substantial. (Of course, Virginia has already been called)

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

I knew nothing about these states 2 hours back , now thanks to John King I am an expert

 

[GlastonSpur]

Biden is overperforming compared to Hillary in every single Ohio county, say CNN

 

[matherto]

Had to mve from NBC cause they have an advert every 5 seconds and it's doing my head in.

What's best?

Found a CNN stream so I'm not on youtube anymore at least.

How am I gonna stay awake that long?

 

[Smores]

The overall trend seems very encouraging, you'd hope it produces results in a couple of the necessary states but no guarantee.

 

[Kaos]

This is what irks me. If it were Jeremy feckin Corbyn as the Dem candidate they might be forgiven, but Biden is pretty much to the right of General Batista. He's hardly going to unveil a giant statute of Che Guevara in Little Havana. And I don't imagine there to be many first generation refugees from the revolution still alive, so why are their offspring holding this bizarre grudge?

 

[Raoul]

Encouraging

 

[matherto]

How's the senate looking?

Arguably more important.

Ok guys, Trump is going to claim victory tonight unless Biden wins OH or AZ.

Brace yourself.

Why though? This is one thing that I still don't understand about this election. Huge states like Florida and Texas seem to have no problem with counting mail ballots, why is it such a challenge in these states?

 

[The Firestarter]

Holy shit Biden wins New York!

 

[Ubik]

Georgia has narrowed to 3% on the needle from 5%, so still some hope it can narrow further.

 

[Klopper76]

Biden projected to take NY.

Saw some analysis saying that Trump's machismo stick appeals to Latino men... but I find that a tad unconvincing, as it seems specifically Cubans and it doesn't really hold for other Latinos.

 

[muller]

Biden only outperforming so strongly because of the early vote it looks like. But I have my fingers crossed it wasn’t only idiots who went to the polls this afternoon

 

[Reditus]

Good man. I hope you bought the nurofen

I’m hoping it will be all worth it. Taken tomorrow off work for this

 

[muller]

Ohio narrowing an awful lot.

 

[VP89]

Not relevant but I keep skim reading your username as redtits

 

[altodevil]

How's the senate looking?

Arguably more important.

Hard to tell, but likely to follow presidential swings from polls. So probably not great in Georgia.

 

[SinNombre]

How's the senate looking?

Dems best case 50-50

Likely 49-51.

Stick with POTUS.

 

[Adisa]

Pretty much every British person I speak to says Trumps a loon and they hope he loses.

BUT, 'experts' say Biden less likely to give UK a decent trade deal. With Brexit and Covid, our economy really needs some good news/a decent trade deal.

Trump/good deal Vs no Trump/bad deal?

Trade deal doesn't mean good deal.
Trump is eager to fleece us.
