Apparently ~240 million people are eligible to vote in amerikkka which surprises me that more than 50% of people showed up. Also 30 million more people abstained from voting than either candidate got amerikkka-clap

I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt that he learned from the last term's round of tarrifs. He is most definitely gonna follow through on the mass deportations though.

I kinda think it's the exact opposite, that even if he died of natural causes over the next 4 years there would be a million conspriacy theories about the liberal driller taking him out

I think it's more likely he'll die of old age, he'll have to start doing some pretty wacky things to get into getting JFKd territory

Crazy that their whole strategy was appealing to moderate republicans and swing voters and maybe those people aren't too cool with voting for a black woman regardless of how much of a centrist she painted herself as galaxy-brain

inb4 all the opinion pieces that will now talk about whether it was a good idea or not to just hand the nomination to contextphobic without running her in the primaries against other dems after Biden dropped out

Apparently she is close with biden-troll

The incoming congresswoman is a close ally of President Joe Biden and has been credited with helping shape Biden’s view of LGBTQ issues. McBride entered Biden’s orbit in 2006, when she worked for the late Beau Biden’s attorney general campaign. Beau Biden was also a strong backer of the 2013 transgender protections legislation that McBride advocated for in Delaware.

Harris cannot lose Pennsylvania and reach 270 electoral votes. However, she can lose pieces of the blue wall — so named for its longtime reputation as a Democratic firewall — and still reach 270.

If she loses Michigan, she can make it up by winning Arizona and Nevada. She can lose Wisconsin and make up for it with Arizona.

PennsylOver?
