Looks like advantage Biden to me at this stage but still a lot of votes left to count

Bigger news is that Republicans seem to have held the senate

So even if Biden gets in his agenda is going nowhere.

Clarence Thomas to retire next week if Biden wins then? ;)

Biden has now received more votes than any candidate in history

That and $5 gets you a coffee at Starbucks

In a clearly very divided country, it gives Biden a powerful mandate when he surpasses 270, as looking more likely. Trump likes to big up his crowds, but if his opponent secures the highest vote in US history, it's hard to argue against that.

Ewan MacKenna calling it for Biden.

Biden has massively expanded the electorate

He speaks to ordinary people in a way the sneering, out of touch Republican elite simply don't understand how to do

Unfortunately I'd say Trump has managed to speak to ordinary people well enough! Even if it is all lies.

In spite of Covid, impeachment, Russia hoax, Mueller investigation-Trump has massively grown his base too

Hard to keep up with the bookie odds, Trump was 1/10 on to win and then moved out to 4/1 and now coming back in at 5/2. Must be huge money thrown at this race. When is a winner expected to be declared this evening or tomorrow?

Never seen any data on NC for a while but think that was still looking like staying red. GA still very close. PA who knows but you'd hope/assume vast majority of those 1.4m absentee ballots to go to Biden. He has 700k to make up though, meaning he'd need over two thirds of them.

If Biden wins with both PA and GA the narrative is completely different. Ok Florida wasn't as close as hoped and Texas in the same boat, but it's still an overwhelming flip

I think NC will stay the same. The NYTimes suggests that Biden will make up the PA deficit from the absentee votes.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Add general uselessness into that mix.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Maybe not, Pennsylvania won't declare until Friday.

Won't matter if MI, WI and NV go blue. Which is very possible.

Should there be a tie in the senate then the VP has the casting vote.
