Based on what? the hearsay of a few dubious sorts claiming they heard from someone else something dodgy happened, none of it stands up to any sort of scrutiny so far

It's the way the whole postal vote has been handled it has a bad smell to it ,and many of the state officials don't seem to give a damn because they dislike trump.

When the Citizens United ruling went through, that was the beginning of the end of Democracy in the USA, giving the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington - it's what has led to $14 billion being spent on this election.

Trump is the first sitting President to lose their re-election bid since George Bush Snr in 1992.

I think he would be favourite to get the nomination if he wanted to run in 2024.

I would't worry. Both Arizona and Pennsyilvania have been called for Biden. Just waiting for Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina.

Biden clinched Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes which gives him 284 electoral votes.
