Only one state is missing in Biden
Welcome to the 2nd day after the American elections. Joe Biden is with him popular vote with around 72 million votes, a good 3.5 million ahead of Trump and has beaten Barack Obama’s record – Never before in the history of the United States has a presidential candidate won more votes than Biden this year.
Solo: As is well known, the total number of votes does not matter, it has not yet been determined who will be at the forefront in America in the future. But you may not have to wait another dayuntil the last mail ballots are counted in Pennsylvania too.
Because Biden only needs one state to win, and the way things are, Pennsylvania no longer has to be its.
Ready, a couple of numbers For breakfast:
-
When Biden’s narrow lead in Arizona holds, and this can be assumed at this point, then the challenger has updated 265 votes safe at the polling station. Only 6 of the majority are missing. Trump is currently approaching 214.
-
Southern state Georgia (16 votes) and Nevada in the west (6) he could soon be declared the winner. In Nevada, Biden is a bit ahead; in Georgia, Trump’s lead is melting away, and the mail-in votes that are counted tend to go to Biden.
-
So the really big prize: Pennsylvania (20), where Biden was born 77 years ago. If Trump wins in Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina (15), then it would be 264 to 251 for Biden, and in Pennsylvania the election would be decided, but possibly not until Friday. Trump is currently leading there with around 200,000 votes, but hundreds of thousands of votes are still missing, for example from the Pittsburgh region and, you guessed it, the majority is in favor of Biden.
And so is Trump?
Ever since the president declared his victory against his better judgment on election night and has now lost crucial states (Wisconsin, Michigan), he has been looking for alternative ways to victory about the courts.
Our US correspondent Roland Nelles rightly comments: “Everything works the plot of a second-rate autocratthat you need a backup position to possibly anticipate a possible defeat. One wonders: What is that supposed to mean? Why can’t man wait and honestly win or lose? “
Yeah what is that supposed to be?
In Georgia, for example, where he is at the helm, Trump is suing to stop the count. Reason: According to one observer, they are 53 ballots were late in one commune it was added to the pile of voting ballots that had arrived on time. In Pennsylvania, Trump’s people want the count suspended until their election observers are supposed to have better access. In Wisconsin, the Trump team is calling for a recount due to the tight election result. And so.
What will happen to Trumpism?
Whether Trump loses or not, the hatred and division he has sown in this country will continue to flourish. Because it is fertile soil. Trump is just one symptom of the precarious situation in which the former leading Western power finds itself.
If, after four years with a racist and a liar in the White House, almost 70 million Americans vote for this person, what does that say about the state of the country? Once again: Trump won votes compared to 2016, did not lose.
Publicist Paul Krugman noted that Biden always talked about Americans being different from Trump and his politics (“that’s not who we are”). But it had to mean: Most Americans aren’t like this, and Biden will be just 5 percentage points ahead of the overall votes at the end. “Appears”says Krugman, “That many of us are like that.” So Trump.
Antiviral combat mission
The Bundeswehr reports today on its anti-crown mission. Martin Schelleis, an Air Force Lieutenant General with the prosaic military title of “National Territorial Commander,” is responsible for the nearly 15,000 soldiers who can help fight against Corona in Germany, if asked.
In fact, the military is desperately needed. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has received more than three dozen reports of bottlenecks from health authorities. According to the Ministry of Defense, 5,350 soldiers are currently on duty, helping with contact tracing in offices or corona tests.
Finally, even the Berlin Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Problem Area he gave up resistance to the deployment of the Bundeswehr. The district superiors, very affected by the second wave (incidence in 7 days: 245), have received help since Wednesday. For weeks the left and the green had prevented it. Now the medical soldiers should cut back.
What is Sahra Wagenknecht really doing?
You can’t properly deal with her anymore, but neither can you without her: Die Linken and his political star Sahra Wagenknecht. they have moved awayA year ago, the 51-year-old resigned from the group’s presidency. Wagenknecht’s central accusation, paraphrased: The left cares too much about city hipsters and gender stars and too little about working people and the unemployed.
Last weekend, his eternal opponent Katja Kipping should have been replaced as the leader of the group. But the party convention scheduled in Erfurt had to be postponed due to Corona. The new presidents-appointees, Janine Wissler and Susanne Henning-Wellsow, are also not considered friends of Wagenknecht. So what to do
“What role can, should and want to play in a game in which hardly anyone can keep up with his popularity, but from which he is clearly alienated?” My colleagues Kevin Hagen and Jonas Schaible ask today. in one in-depth article on Sahra Wagenknecht and your party, which I would like to recommend.
Winner of the day …
… is a member of the CDU of the Bundestag Elisabeth motschmann. As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, he clearly condemned Trump’s attempts to stop a democratic election: “President Donald Trump’s hasty declaration of victory is illegal and dangerous. This is a definitive attack on the very core of democracy: the election. “
Your party partner and Friedrich Merz, CDU presidential candidate behaves differently. The call to stay on the sidelines can be heard from him. But Motschmann is right, of course. It is the core of democracy. Without free will everything is nothing.
