As the votes continue to be counted in swing states, Joe Biden has the best chance to become the next President. But the closer we inspect the nationwide election returns, the more the result looks like a defeat for the rest of his Democratic Party and especially for the progressive agenda. Mr. Biden would take office without a mandate beyond addressing Covid-19 and not being Donald J. Trump.
Mr. Biden will win the popular vote, and he may eke out a narrow win in the Electoral College. In essence he’ll have reversed Mr. Trump’s victory in 2016 with hair’s-breath advantages in Wisconsin and Michigan, and perhaps Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. None of them will be by large margins. He will have vanquished an incumbent President, which is no easy task.

But look down the ballot, or across the country, and Mr. Biden’s potential victory looks remarkably limited and personal. Most new Presidents enter office having swept allies into Congress and statehouses as the public embraces his agenda and vision for America. Certainly this was true of Barack Obama in 2008 and to a lesser extent Mr. Trump in 2016. Mr. Biden had no such coattails.
Democrats lost seats in the House, giving up some of the suburban gains they made in 2018 while continuing to struggle in rural areas. The full results won’t be in for weeks, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi may find her majority cut in half or more to the smallest in 20 years.
Senate control may be determined by a Jan. 5 runoff for two seats in Georgia. But the GOP already looks to have won 50 seats to 48 for Democrats, who had expected to ride public dislike for Mr. Trump into the majority.

It's never really been about China Joe. Even the Idiot socialist dems know he isn't capable. Heels Up Harris will be the power, either "behind the throne" or outright.
50-8 margin means nothin when you have a handful of RINOS and Harris as VP and deciding vote when 49-49 ties.
COVID worked so well that I expect a new virus that is more lethal coming our way. This bio warfare stuff works.
True enough ... and none of what is happening is about Biden (who is truly irrelevant as everyone who follows politics knows including, possibly, Biden himself). No, it's all about the Left ... about socialism -- that ultimately devolves into communism -- which Trump promised he would protect America against ... and he and his team continue to do all they can to do so.
If the fraudulent “mail-in” ballot system become the new normal...then all future election results will be determined by big city machines working in the dead of darkness
I agree. They are going to lose the Senate. The Republicans better get their act together.
A jow biden presidency may be the best thing for this country. It may convince some people to turn back to God. And it may get others to volunteer to be poll workers and vote counters instead of letting the rats count and tally all the votes... Imagine the progressive house and senate blood bath if more whistleblowers were working the polls!
With the 133000 ballots that magically showed up for Biden in Michigan - did any have votes for other, down ballot candidates?
If this election coup works, there won’t be another election, which has been the goal starting with COVID, censoring, and race riots.
Loser talk
Joe is nothing but a figurehead, temporary at that, for the Radical Left. They don’t give a shiite about “mandates.” They want power...and, if they steal this election, they will take the rest of the power needed to dominate by coercion, intimidation, theft, and bloodshed.
It will be a “show election” like banana republic dictatorships.
So stupid, but then Wall Street is now democrat.
Forget the Senate blocking Biden.
With executive actions alone he can stop the wall, open the borders, and grant amnesty to 30 million (the real number) illegals, stop fracking, end all investigations ( bye- bye Durham), defund the military, appoint 300 judges ( with help from Romney, Collins, Murkowski), appoint far leftists to cabinet and regulatory positions, etc., etc.
How do we sell the American people that Joe Biden cheated his way into the White House? Do we have videos of people stuffing the ballot boxes in Philadelphia?
Oh, whoops, actually because we didn’t contest the irregularities in the presidential election, all the GOP’s gains everywhere else have been wiped out too!
Yay, we can retire to our comfy armchairs and quarterback this country the way we really want to!

The evidence of fraud is so overwhelming you’d win in any court.
The decisions to mass-mail ballots not requested hopelessly polluted the ballot submissions. A large part of the battle was lost then.
The Dem machine in Philadelphia is playing chicken with their counts - as realistically, every ballot opened while the observers were kept out are now non-verifiable, but there is no way the courts are going to invalidate 200,000+ ballots because an indeterminate number of likely bogus ones were mixed in.
Not yelling at you so forgive me if I come across as cross or angry, but
WE HAVE ALL THE DAMN EVIDENCE WE NEED to string up 100 DemoKKKrats.
Evidence isn’t the issue, and has never been the issue. Political will is the only issue. In Reconstruction, the Rs had the political will to do what was necessary (at least until 1876). There was no wavering. If it took military governments in the south, they did that. If it took troops, they did that.
I see NO political will outside of Trump’s team and a tiny handful of GOP types. Almost all have been totally silent on this coup. By now ALL the GOP state legislatures should have issued formal statements saying they will not accept the results of any election where fraud was present to the degree it made a difference. They will be naming their own elector slates.
This should have been done after the first mysterious spike in Biteme’s numbers. Yet not a peep.
And by the way, for all the lovers of state representation, state’s rights, federalism, etc.: THIS IS ENTIRELY THE RESULT OF STATES. None of these legislatures stepped up to stop the governors with their lockdowns. None were impeached or removed. ALL these ridiculous voting laws are NOT the result of illegal aliens, non-citizens, governors, or the federal government. They are ALL the result of state legislatures wanting to be “inclusive.” Extending voting times and days, changing rules for ballots and absentees. Don’t blame the feds and don’t blame outsiders. This was an inside job by YOUR. STATE. REPRESENTATIVES.
