Joe Biden Has Won, Donald Trump Melts Down
Joe Biden is on the verge of winning the 2020 presidential election and the announcement from the major networks could come at any moment. Decision Desk HQ has called the race in Pennsylvania for Biden, giving him twenty more electoral votes and pushing him over the 270-vote finish line. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are expected to speak later today and it is so far unclear whether they will declare victory. Donald Trump has promised to fight the results in court and he is showing no signs of conceding or going peacefully anytime soon. Though Trump will be defeated, we have to ensure he doesn’t steal the election anyway. Biden securing victories in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia is the best way of ensuring that doesn’t happen.
There will be so much to discuss in the coming weeks and months and there is a risk of widespread unrest across the country. Fox News and some on the right are alleging without evidence that widespread voter fraud in “Democrat run cities” are stealing it for Biden. The distrust they are placing in the system is a recipe for disaster. No matter what happens, we will still have to live in a country where seventy million people voted for Donald Trump. Those people aren’t going anywhere. But for now, we can begin setting the stage for celebration because it looks like Joe Biden has won and Donald Trump has lost.
Delusional Trump Completely Humiliated at Bizarre Briefing
Donald Trump appeared in public yesterday for the first time since election night. The soon-to-be-outgoing president spoke from the White House press room and nonsensically declared victory, saying, “if you count all the legal votes, I easily win.” Trump claimed without evidence that the vote counts are being manipulated in the swing states where he’s projected to lose. He talked about how the vote counts in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania needed to be stopped while simultaneously arguing the vote count in Arizona needed to keep going. None of these arguments make any sense and the truth is they haven’t even completely formed them yet. Trump and his team are starting from the position that they’ve won and then scrambling to find the evidence that supports that theory, but they can’t find it anywhere.
We are witnessing the complete and utter meltdown of Donald Trump. All indicators are pointing to this race being a decisive victory in Biden’s favor, both in the electoral college and in the popular vote. Trump will whine and flail and we’ll wait and see which Republicans have his back. In addition to holding this press conference, Trump spent much of yesterday rage-tweeting about how he’s being robbed. Thankfully, Twitter continues to hide and fact-check his most inflammatory messages.
From yesterday’s show:
Trumpists SWARM, Demand Votes NOT BE Counted
Donald Trump’s supporters have started to mobilize as it becomes clearer and clearer that he is going to lose this election. In Arizona, Trump needs votes to be counted so that he can potentially catch up to Biden’s lead. Voters there are chanting “count the votes.” However across the country in Pennsylvania and Georgia, where Trump was grasping onto a tight lead until today, Trump supporters were chanting “stop the count.” Some Trumpists are so confused about what’s going on that they are showing up to polling locations to pray and sing the YMCA. It is truly incredible what we are seeing right now in this country.
