One of the weirdest White House traditions, the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon
Pennsylvania has certified its election results, confirming that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have won the state. The news comes when two records are broken: no other presidential candidacy has obtained more than 80 million votes; and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has crossed the 30,000 level for the first time with the news that the transition to a Biden administration may continue.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump says he will soon present evidence of widespread voter fraud and other wrongdoing in “great detail” in a “large lawsuit.” His tweet announcing the plan did not explain why he had not presented evidence of the many lawsuits his team has advanced in recent weeks.
The president continued his disinformation campaign Tuesday by promoting the actor Randy Quaid’s demands for a full replay of the vote, even though his administration finally began the official transition process just a day earlier.
On an early morning retweet spree, Trump also promoted Quaid’s statement that “FOX IS DEAD FOR ME!” following a segment last night by right-wing commentator Laura Ingraham, in which long-serving host Fox News admitted that Biden would be the next president.
Meanwhile, the president-elect is preparing to formally unveil his cabinet members at an event this afternoon. The list includes Avril Haines as director of national intelligence, the first woman to hold that position, and Antony Blinken as secretary of state.

Unlike many other White House events, Turkey’s reprieve appears to require guests to wear masks and separate seating.

Biden accuses Trump of ‘absolute cruelty’ at the border
Joe Biden introduced several Cabinet-level nominees when he declared that “America is back … at the head of the table” on global affairs. He envisioned a foreign policy that will seek to restore the United States’ relations with other countries and move away from the hard-line policies of the Trump administration.
That includes what he called “years of … outright cruelty at DHS,” an apparent reference to Mr. Trump’s immigration policies as one of separating migrant families at the US-Mexico border.
