For the record, I knew Joe Biden had won the election at 8:54am on November 4th.
8:54am was when the big Michigan batch came in, and proved that the big 4am Wisconsin batch hadn't been a fluke. It meant we'd see a similarly big Pennsylvania batch, which would give all three states to Biden, which was 270. Game over. The past twenty days have just been noise.
In fairness I did not predict that Biden would win Wisconsin three times, Pennsylvania eight times, and Michigan twenty times.
For the record, the Biden campaign now says that based on their internal data, they knew by 6:30am on November 4th that they had won for sure. This was two-plus hours before I called it. So I'm not exactly Nostradamus here 😆
This continues to be my favorite tweet of all time:
There are a number of you who mistakenly think Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic cost him the election. But his approval rating and poll numbers were exactly the same before and after the pandemic. Didn’t change any minds. He had already lost the election before the pandemic.
This may or may not fit with your preferred narrative of how things went down. But it’s a fact, not an opinion. The numbers couldn’t be any more clear.
Really, Trump lost re-election before he even took office. The shock and distaste of his 2016 win caused him to enter office with a disastrous 40-ish approval rating, which never he never did overcome. And no President wins re-election with numbers like that.
Marco Rubio is trying so hard right now to be the new Trump, but he sounds like a fifth grader nervously reading his book report to the class, hoping no one will figure out that his mom wrote it for him. Rubio is a fucking idiot.
It's really good to see so many of you are now focusing on the Georgia Senate runoffs. Here are some useful links for helping Ossoff and Warnock win this. Keep in mind that if we win the runoffs, we take control of the Senate away from Mitch McConnell!
If you have any money left to give, you can jointly donate it to the Warnock and Ossoff campaigns through ActBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/dscc-wa…
Mobilize link for volunteering for Ossoff. Keep in mind you can phone bank from out of state: mobilize.us/electjon/
President elect Joe Biden will deliver a Thanksgiving address to the nation tomorrow. Trump may not like it, but that's tough turkey. Biden is in charge now.
President-elect Joe Biden confirms he won’t interfere with DOJ criminal prosecution of Donald Trump palmerreport.com/analysis/doj-c…
Joe Biden is about to read his first Presidential Daily Briefing, marking the first time in four years that anyone has read a Presidential Daily Briefing.
Minnesota just certified its results, confirming that Joe Biden won the state by seven points. Trump inexplicably spent an extraordinary amount of time, money and resources in Minnesota, and still lost badly there. It's a reminder that Trump never had any idea what he was doing.
