All that being said, I think he's permanently reframed the relationship with China and the likes of Huawei will not have an easy time under Biden. Ironically, for someone who wanted to focus on the US, his successes are probably more on the foreign policy front.

The man himself is hiding in his basement (Hiden Biden) because he is a stumbling wreck at words and memory. His campaign team are hiding him because of this. It just doesn't look good for the undecided voter, a man running for top office, Biden, is nowhere to be seen on the campaign trail a week before the election.

Maybe but how many undecided voters are left. Biden has been taking this approach all campaign.

That chart, if I understand it correctly, in itself asks questions.

So in Texas in 2016 there were no early/absentee votes, but 4 years later there’s near half a million? Not suspect at all.

Several states have made it easier to vote early from allowing postal votes to having longer early voting periods.

Besides they're expecting record turnout across the country and across demographics.

From the link (which I took the graph from) I posted previously

Data does not exist for young voters in PA and TX as of this date in 2016.

In every state we’re tracking, the number of absentee and early votes cast as of October 21, 2020, is far higher than at the same date in 2016. That’s to be expected, given the greater emphasis on mail-in voting this year due to the pandemic. Still, the numbers are especially dramatic in a state like Texas, where at least 490,000 young people have already cast ballots. Moreover, in Florida, North Carolina, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, early votes cast by youth have already exceeded the 2016 margin of victory in each state.
Also, early voting in 2016 in Texas didn’t start until October 24th - it’s earlier this year due to the epidemic.

Laudable an aim as it is, it's probably too late to investigate the 2016 election data for Texas. ;)

NBC Editor's note on the Biden interview mentioning George which the Trump campaign has been promoting today.

Four more years of George Lopez, wtf did he become president? :rolleyes:

Still peddling rubbish I see Andrew. You never learn.

Do we think Trump will even attend Biden's inauguration? His wee angry orange face is going to be a sight to behold in the background as Sleepy Joe reads out the oath of office.

Another Trump first! High-ranking staffers are opposed to his re-election and have endorsed his opponent!

Suspect there will be plenty of wibbling to get out of Grand Jury indictments at Trump Towers. I wonder if the Don will end up dining out at President Putin’s expense in Moscow along with Edward Snowden.

Here’s a thought - what if Trump resigns between the election and January. Does Pence step up to the plate and pardon the Don? Removes the issue of him pardoning himself.

BREAKING: U.S President Donald Trump’s 3rd Nominee for the U.S Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, receives Senate Confirmation with 52 vs. 48 votes. The last U.S President to get to pick three SC Justices was Ronald Reagan in the 1980’s.

Amusing speculation there, jf.
