The Democratic challenger to President Trump led in four of the five controversial swing states. With 264 electoral votes, he only needed one or a maximum of two victories.
The trends in counting continue to give Joe Biden a tailwind.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden practically reached the goal of his political life on Friday night. When counting the votes in the four swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, he had a nose ahead and with 264 electoral votes already captured, he had several options, the threshold of 270 required to enter the White House with one or a maximum. two more. To achieve victories. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, should have won in at least four of the five still-controversial states, and the trend, except for North Carolina, was not in his favor.
Therefore, his campaign team continued to challenge the legality and integrity of the electoral and counting process, and in that context also came to the Supreme Court for the first time on Friday. After serving three conservative justices to the highest court the United States has nominated, Trump is apparently expecting a benevolent review of his entries. I could be wrong.
Waning lead
Since the good numbers at the start of the count Tuesday night, the president’s lead over Biden has steadily melted into critical critical states. On Friday night, what most experts had predicted happened: The above-average percentage of Democratic voters in the mail-in vote caused the provisional tally result to tilt in two other states, first in Georgia and then as well. in Pennsylvania. In Georgia, their lead was so small that authorities said a recount might be necessary.
At the time, Trump had the most votes a Republican candidate had ever received, with nearly 70 million votes. His problem was that his opponent had almost four million more votes. Not only did electoral participation reach maximum values. It can also be assumed that never before have so many Americans looked at their own screen and the big screens in television studios as in recent days. Graphic projections. TV presenters have almost become cult figures in American homes, especially CNN’s John King, because he repeatedly emphasized that what many viewers have to experience as torture is definitely fun.
Fox News under attack
Fox News stood out from all other television channels because its renowned electoral analysis department declared Joe Biden the winner Wednesday night in Arizona and he remained there despite a storm of outrage from Trump supporters and deep skepticism from Trump. The executive floor roared over them.
Both candidates spoke Thursday to a nation that has practically been holding its breath since Tuesday night. Biden reiterated his optimism that he would finish victorious and urged the American people to calmly and patiently follow the counting process.
Very different from Donald Trump, who spilled baseless accusations, lies and insults in a performance in the White House press room for a good quarter of an hour. Without being able to provide clues or evidence, he affirmed that he won the elections with the legal votes, but that now they are stealing the victory with the illegal votes. It couldn’t help but adopt a racist tone when it hit Philadelphia and Detroit, with their large black populations, as notorious herds of corruption and fraud.
Trump has already abused the White House several times as a staff member for his election campaign, for example, at the “Corona Task Force Briefings” in the spring or at the end of the Republican electoral party conference in August. But what he did on Thursday was absolutely unworthy of a president and also dangerous, because he obviously wanted to fuel an already tense mood. Several of the main stations refused to be hired and switched to their normal programming in the middle of the tirade. They had finally learned their lesson in the spring at Corona’s briefings. Trump supporters, however, found the procedure offensive, as if there were state television in the United States.
Riots among Democrats
In Congress next year, a smaller Democratic majority will control the House of Representatives. There was some unrest among the remaining Democrats after moderate MPs expressed their anger at the radical campaign slogans from the left wing and blamed her for the failure.
Republicans, who have won at least half a dozen seats, are notable for the large number of women entering Congress. The Great Old Party could equal or beat the previous record for women parliamentarians set in 2006 when its delegation included 25 women.
A double runoff was looming in Georgia in the Senate and would take place in early January. Because Democrats could win a majority in the small House of Congress if they won both seats with the help of the vice president, that race would undoubtedly attract huge amounts of money and attention.
