Looking like Biden's not done enough to win the Senate. So even if he does win the Presidency and manage to avoid Trump stealing it, he's going to struggle to get much done. An already weak and uninspiring candidate turned into a lame-duck president doesn't bode well for avoiding a Donald Jr resurgence in 4 years' time. Fuck 2020.

Think you're underestimating how much damage a hostile Senate can do. This isn't a normal election, the US is teetering on the brink of outright fascism, the Democrats need to do enough over the next four years to substantially roll that tide back and start to reset US politics to the usual battle between the Conservative right and centre/centre-right. Without the Senate, that's going to be very difficult, Biden's term (if he wins) could be completely hobbled from the outset by both a perception that he didn't really win (which Trump has been laying the ground for for months and is now staking out the battle for that) and a perception that he is weak and ineffective if the Republicans can use the Senate to block him at every term. This isn't looking good

I was looking at the gap in some of the key states which seemed unattainable, but maybe absentee ballots will pull it closer.

Don't listen to me. I don't really know what I'm talking about.

No, I had the same thought too.

Then the news said there were a few states that had mainly counted rural (Trump) but not urban votes - of which there are more. Plus the postals not being done in others, largely Biden ...

Seems unassailable gaps to me, but like you I know nothing so defer to the news "experts".

The only hope I have they are right is the fact that Trump is talking legal action - so must be worried. Maybe.

More of the absentee ballots are being counted now and are, apparently, swinging the percentages significantly.

Fingers crossed and all that.

Have you thought about running to become President? You’d be perfect.
