I’m back outside the Maricopa County voting center with another crowd of Trump supporters gathered at the same site as the night before.

This time officials have erected a fence to keep praying demonstrators away from the entrance. @FDRLST Fox and the AP have each called Arizona for Biden, who currently leads by 70,000 votes while thousands remain to be counted.

Maricopa County, the state’s biggest, is expected to report another batch at 9pm eastern. Last night’s cut Biden’s lead by half

I’m outside the @AZGOP headquarters in Phoenix for @FDRLST this afternoon where the Trump campaign will be holding a press conference.

Biden currently leads the state by about 70,000 votes, a gap that’s narrowing as more come in. The state’s largest county, Maricopa, still has ~275,000 ballots to be counted and will be releasing another round tonight at 9pm eastern.

Trump took nearly 60 percent of the batch dropped last night. thefederalist.com/2020/11/05/tru…

Hello from the Denver capitol. Just got here as most of the earlier crowd was leaving. A group of about 100 or so have stayed behind, unclear for how long. Leaders stressing for everyone to go home. Anyway, this was most of my evening

It’s a real tragedy how many were unable to answer because they already committed the act. ONE in FOUR Americans aged 18-24 have seriously considered this within the last 30 days.

Imagine that. Check in on your friends

A new poll out this week shows American happiness reaching a 50-year low.

That's what happens when you lock everyone up for 10 weeks and call them all racist. @FDRLST
thefederalist.com/2020/06/18/new… Another poll shows patriotic pride also reaching a record low, where less than two-thirds of U.S. adults said they were either "very proud" or "extremely proud" to be American.

So the campaign to delegitimize American greatness also seems to be working.

When Georgia reopened, we were all told the state would turn into an apocalyptic nightmare that would induce outbreaks across the country.

Two weeks later and cases are actually declining. Can we have our country back?

People are calling Trump racist for calling the novel coronavirus the "Chinese Virus."

But this is actually an important point. Thread: First of all, calling this new disease the "Chinese Virus" is no more racist than the "Spanish Flu" or the "German Measles" of the 20th century, so.. there's that.

In fact, here are 17 diseases named after places or people: thefederalist.com/2020/03/13/17-…

As @chrissyclark_ and I wrap-up our trip to Iowa, some thoughts: 1) Iowa voters remain incredibly undecided going into Monday, hence the rapid movement in the polls here in the final months leading to the caucus. According to a Monmouth poll this week, about about half of voters remain open-minded.
