Well, youâre half right Carmen. With Trumpâs record, it should have been a landslide of 20points in all 50 states against him, but to have it be this closeâŠ..? Means we are a seriously broken people.
People who depend on a subsidy to afford health insurance and/or who have preexisting conditions. Since 2016 trump has promised a replacement for Obamacare but has yet to even propose new legislation. On November 10th the Supreme Court is hearing arguments to overturn Obamacare which if successful will eliminate subsidies and coverage for preexisting conditions.
Insider and its partners at Decision Desk HQ made the call for Biden early Friday. Biden surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to win the White House by flipping the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ.
â
With Bidenâs projected victory, Trump becomes the 13th president to lose reelection and just the fourth to do so since World War II.
Trump has yet to concede and is still committed to challenging the result in the courts, claiming voter fraud. There is no evidence of any ballot-rigging, however.
According to reports, the president is becoming an increasingly isolated figure as his allies in the media now press him to accept the inevitable.
In a monologue, Fox News host Laura Ingraham advised Trump to accept defeat with âgrace and composureâ in a messaging shift from a usually fawning network.
Other Rupert Murdoch-owned media outlets â Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post â called on the president to accept defeat.
âMr Trumpâs legacy will be diminished greatly if his final act is a bitter refusal to accept a legitimate defeat,â wrote the Wall Street Journal in an opinion article entitled âThe Presidential Endgame.â
Biden had over 3 million more votes than Trump as of early Saturday, a lead that is likely to grow as states finalize their results in the coming days and weeks.
Biden has received the most votes of any candidate ever.
As Common Dreams reported earlier on Friday, the Trump campaignâin addition to the presidentâs outrageous and baseless claims of fraudâis making desperate, last-ditch attempts to contest vote-counting procedures in multiple battleground states where the incumbentâs early leads have disappeared.
â
Legal experts, however, say that Trumpâs election litigation efforts âhave no merit whatsoever.â
Wendy Weiser, director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law argued that the presidentâs lawsuits âlook more like public relation stunts meant to create a false impression that the election is filled with improprieties and fraud.â
âI donât see any real strategy here,â she added.
Despite the fact that nearly all of Trumpâs legal battles in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania are being dismissed in court due to a lack of compelling evidence, the RNC is still trying to fundraise for the president.
âThey want $60 million,â a Republican donor who was contacted by the Trump campaign and the RNC told Reuters.
Critics, however, smelled a grift.
Political observers pointed to the âfine printâ of the Trump and RNC donation forms with a warning that such gifts could readily be used to pay off pre-existing campaign debt:

âIf you give money to Trumpâs recount/postelection litigation efforts,â tweeted Rick Hasen, professor of law and political science at UC Irvine, âhalf of that money will go towards retiring his campaign debt instead, per the fine print.â
Some times in order to remember what your are, you must experience what you are not. We are a kind, generous, optimistic people. I hope the last 4 years is enough of a reminder of that, so we donât have to go through this for another century of two.

Itâs interesting how people vote against their own self interest.
Seniors who voted for trump even though he has promised to eliminate the payroll tax. I guess they donât need Social Security and Medicare.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are one laboratory experiment away from becoming supervillains.

Whatâs amazing is that Trump got 7 million more votes than in 2016.
Itâs anecdotal, but some Fox viewers didnât know who Stormy Daniels is. The bubble holds.

Next question, How long until VP Harris accuses President Biden of groping her, opening the door to impeach him?
