Doesn't Trump already have his "Election Fraud Commission" or whatever it was called? He is still the President, thus he still has the power/ability to have fraud investigated. Why doesn't he?

Because he knows there is nothing there, just like 2016.

It's downright embarrassing that he is not taking this apparent loss like a grown up.



The fact is there are representatives from both parties observing the counting. They'll be there when the official results come in. And they'll be there to certify said results. Trump is the one pushing this fraud agenda because he knows it's his last chance to hold on to some sort of support. Had he taken this apparent loss like an adult, he'd risk losing these thousands of supporters who will continue to follow him thinking it was a fraud.



I imagine people like Mitch McConnell are even fed up with his antics and can't wit for him to be gone.

I can't imagine Mark Cuban behaving this way. He'd probably just laugh his way back to Dallas and enjoy being a billionaire again.

Right now it's almost 3 to 1 against Trump conceding by November 17th. Nothing on the market beyond that right now.

Could very well be true. Obviously Mitch would prefer Trump be the president but if Trump does lose Mitch will be laughing all the way. Mitch already used up Trump for what he wanted. There wasn't much left to squeeze out of him.

I suspect Mitch is already focused on four years without a Republican president and that his last two years as a politician (he'll retire in 2026) can be getting the things he wants done w/ an election win in '24.

He's equally effective on offense or defense.

It will be interesting to see if Mitch actually decides to work with Biden or if he is going to act the same way he has acted for the last decade. If he really is planning on retiring and since he knows Biden is not going to run again I think this could be the best chance for Mitch to try to actually act somewhat civil. I am not holding my breath though.

"Decision Desk HQ projects that @JoeBiden has won Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral college votes for a total of 273.

Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States of America.

Race called at 11-06 08:50 AM EST"

Once AP does it I guess we'll see the first networks do so as well.

[GOWIFB]

Oh nevermind, I misread your comment and thought you were saying Mitch was going to retire in 2 years. I was thinking 2022. So given he will retire in 2026 I expect him to be the same old do nothing Mitch.

I'm starting to think Stacey Abrams is going to run for President in 2024. That or she'd be the running mate of whoever does run on the DNC side. Still sticking with DeSantis as the early GOP candidate. DeSantis/Haley ticket.

Also the people saying “oh look no one is talking about covid just the election”, don’t worry, Covid is still awful. 115,000 cases, it’s still bad

Yes sir Dr. Eckstein. Put that Bill Gates vaccine in your body and your families body. Bill Gates wasn't on Epstein Island developing a vaccine for Covid I promise you. Maybe one day he will have a vaccine for himself.

As a Georgia resident, that is scary

No chart? No facts?

I'm disappointed. You know some of us aren't as smart as you are. Some of us need the information before we can figure things out.

He personally won’t concede. His people will and some how talk him off a ledge.

[JustRachel]

I wonder if he is still calling to stop counting in PA.

I can't even imagine imagine what a true concession would sound like. A true, actual concession and not a "I was cheated" nonsensical ramble.

You’ll never know from him.

There’s a lot of work that goes into a vaccine. If you’re being so rude, I assume you know the whole process?

You can’t risk pushing out a vaccine that
A. Doesn’t work
B. Causes awful side effects

That’s why proper trials and research must be done. There’s no point in rushing a vaccine if you’re gonna do it wrong. It’s got to be done correctly.

Even when the vaccine comes out, it’s not going to be widely available for everyone

It would require adulting. That's not Trump's strongest skill these days.

I can't imagine either. If anything we may get a speech that starts 'I congratulate sleepy joe on running the most successful fraud in the history of America' and then of course you can probably write your own script from there.
