That is the Democrats problem - this will be the dilemma for the Republicans.

Assuming Trump is not in gaol, will Trump run again in 2024. If he does will it be as a Republican? He just got well north of 70M votes. How many of them are Republicans and how many are Trumpers? Does Trump stay with Fox or does or start his own platform or give his patronage to OANN?

If he goes as an independent or Third Party candidate he can severely cripple the Republicans. Do they stay loyal to him in the hope that he sticks with them? Will this transition period hurt him? Do they try to distance themselves now and try to move back to their traditional support? I think the time to decide is soon. Otherwise Trump can start hurting them in the mid-terms.. 

If he becomes president expect to hear - God, blessing, grace, pray, healing, faith etc for the next 4 years coming out of Biden’s mouth.

Assuming that Biden wins that will be the problem. He will be 78 when inaugurated this time. 82 in 4 years time and 86 and the end of that term. Biden has virtually put the Obama coalition back together. The Cubans in Florida came out for Trump by labelling dems Marxist.

I think the only person that would have done a better job this time would have been Micelle Obama - but she was adamant she wouldn't stand.

But therein lies the problem. Biden will have to expand the democratic coalition by delivering for the Trump supporters. Trump in this election has more supporters than any previous president. That is a lot of people that will go into the next four years thinking that the last 4 years was the first time anyone listened to them. 

Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren may have gotten more votes in California or NY - but they would have lost the mid-west. I can't imagine Biden running again but also do not think that Harris would necessarily win in 4 years time.  

That is the Democrats problem - this will be the dilemma for the Republicans.

Assuming Trump is not in gaol, will Trump run again in 2024. If he does will it be as a Republican? He just got well north of 70M votes. How many of them are Republicans and how many are Trumpers? Does Trump stay with Fox or does or start his own platform or give his patronage to OANN?

Even if he knows he has no chance of a win the comments from his supporters suggest otherwise.


Trump could murder a small child and his cultists would find a way to justify it.

His Twitter feed is nuts.  He is determined to blow the joint up before he goes.

The Electoral College convenes in the state capitals to formally cast their votes (this is where faithless electors come in) on December 14th, and on January 6th a joint session of Congress formerly counts the votes and the Vice President officially certifies the winner.

That said, the major broadcaster's calls should be taken seriously, they put a lot of investment into analyzing the votes and have a lot of reputational risk from calling it incorrectly.

This is looking increasingly like a slow motion coup d'état.  The US democracy seems now to depend on the whether of GOP state legislators try to seat faithless electors to the Electoral College. I don't know what Biden can do about that but if they do things will turn ugly very quickly. 

End of Day 7: Trump is down nearly 5 million votes and he and his allies are 0-12 in court.

What's going to happen in Arizona?  I notice the margin is down to 15 000.

Predictions?

I think at the current rate, Biden might hold on at around 4k votes.

Yes - there is an official declaration. However, it is normal for a concession to be done from the TV call. That does not stop litigation continuing - just allows the country to move on..

Trump still firing off Tweets left, right and centre.  And firing people too.

Seriously deluded.

And another Trump official has tested positive for Covid.  (Ben Carson.)

I missed this question earlier, but my suggested answer in the case of Trump is that he thought a TV station calling it made it official.
With anyone else, ever, you'd thinks "Nah, surely they know how it works and understand there's a difference between the TV pundits and the official counting", but not in Trump's case - if the TV says it, he thinks it's true.
