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.

He is not going to win the White House!
His agenda for America we have seen every night for 5 months now along with the radical idiots agenda to kill America for good
Biden didn’t win - this election is a farce
This is a victory of a Leftist media and criminal House of Representatives.
Loser talk from losers.
The correct response here is Demented Perv Biteme must NOT be allowed to win by fraudulently creating 10 million votes.
The evidence of fraud is so overwhelming you’d win in any court.
The GOP Legislators MUST get engaged in MI, GA< PA, and WI. Not acceptable for them to act like ‘gee, I don’t have a role in this’ when they have the ONLY meaningful role.
There they go - planting the seed that Joe’s won but no mandate! Bull crap! I’m not done fighting! Trump won this election. We will not go to out like this. Repubs need to fight! Keep going! If we don’t? Biden will force his mandate up our collective asses.

As if President Heels Up gives a rat’s hindquarters when the people think.
This country DID NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT.
Our trust in the elections has been destroyed
I pointed out to a Lefty friend, the LA COUNTY fraud of not purging 1.5 million registrations as they had been ordered to do. She didn’t care about the fraud as ‘Trump wasn’t going to win that county anyway’. So, cheating is ok.
The Left, collectively, has NO CONSCIENCE. But we already new that anyway.
No way in Hell we should be ruled by urban Rats.
It doesn’t matter if their ideas lost when they successfully grab power.
Who will stop them?
This is a huge first step to one party rule.
Let them enjoy Mr. Biden, a senile, corrupt old man who looks like the real life picture of Dorian Gray. Biden will not be running this country; I have not figured out who will, as yet, but it will definitely be for their self-interest and not that of the American people. So instead of a President who occasionally shouts righteous anger, they will have one who can barely talk.
They don’t care.
WSJ trying out the “Beautiful Losers” approach.
The WSJ can’t hide their giddiness Trump will be gone.
Now open those borders back up.
Insane sunshine pumping. Dems would have control of the House and full control of the executive branch. And they’ll get 80-90% of what they want from the GOP Senate just like Obama did.
Time to grow up and stop talking the same nonsense they spouted in 2016.
He has not nor will he “Win” anything.
My abuelita used to call this sort of thing “consuelo de bobo”.
A fools consolation.
