Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

I'm overseas so I have all day to watch. My eyes are on Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Votes in GA and PA are about 90% in with a narrow 3% lead by Trump, but the counties still reporting are suburbs of ATL and Philly so you know how that goes. Trump looks solidly ahead in Wisconsin but similar story.

I was on a plane during the 2020 election, got on thinking we had another Trump term. Got off and whammo...

I will be glued to the TV all day today.

Biden loses no matter who wins.
He hates Trump, so obviously Trump winning kills his legacy.
His camp and the Harris camp hate each other, so her victory doesn't exactly make him a happy camper; and gives his supporters ammo for saying he should have stayed in.

LOL.

We taking bets on how long Hunter either OD's or declares bankruptcy?

So, there was a bomb threat over here, it originated in France. Great stuff.

Yavapai County knew the assignment. Best I got.

Shit...Trump wins he still has to make it 2 months to the inauguration...

PA called for Trump, NV and AK looks like a lock for him too. Waiting on the next state to fall he's sitting at 267 electoral college votes at the moment.

The Harris campaign is sending their supporters home for the night. Trump guests heading to Palm Beach according to AP news.

They’ve called it here. Economy wins. It’s a good time to buy stocks at the opening bell tomorrow. Just spitballing but if tariffs can raise treasure in place of raising taxes, plus no taxes on overtime…

Senate done, the House will take time. Could be a clean sweep.

 

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

4 more years Hippy!

 

[Locksteady]

Well, another bet won.

Congratulations, President-elect Trump!

 

[The Quartermaster]

Please, please, please, please let this be true from what I've been hearing....

Looks like it is.

It's joever. Harris would have to pull in all WI/MI/NV/AZ to win, and she's trailing by all with enough of a gap that even accounting for the usual surge from mail/absentee ballots it's unlikely.

Who could have guessed that a turn towards the center just leads to people voting for the GOP?

Oh wait; this guy.

Nah, the DNC is just doing the same thing they've done since the end of the New Deal era and Regan's election; moving away from more leftist political ideas and settling in the "left wing" of the newly ushered in Neoliberal policies.

We often forget that, when looking past the "culture war" social issues, most DNC/GOP policies are more similar than not.

When the Dems try to be GOP-lite, I.E. Harris' border policy/"most lethal military" comments, voters drop off.

Trump got the Regan comparison in his first term, but I think it'll really be comparable now on a macro level.

She'd need them all to be able to make 268, with Trump already at 267, just one more state for Trump and bam, bye-bye wHorris.

Agree on stocks. Disagree on tarrifs; It tends to hurt American consumers more. My favorite example is Whirlpool begging for tarrifs, getting them, and then the cost of all washers and dryers went up ~$100 because of steel tarrifs.

She's leading by ~10% in Maine, which has 3 electoral votes. Given that Maine has ranked choice voting, I'm willing to bet the votes for Jill Stein/Cornell West would go to her as well.

It would be crazy though if the scenario played out that way lol.

277 to 224, it's over baby! Wisconsin knew the assignment!

 

[Muppet]

Fox has Trump at 277.

 

[Cookie_]

Yup, WI called. He'll probably sweep the rest.

Looking forward to the final county and demographic data.

 

[The Quartermaster]

Fox has Trump at 277.
