The race is run, the winner declared!

USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

Gore also smashed Bush in that back in 2000 as well didn't he?

Meanwhile Obama won it comfortably back to back.

Means nothing while that trash electoral system is in play.

Yes, I believe Gore comfortably won the nationwide popular vote in 2000. Just double-checked. Gore won the popular vote by about 550,000 votes (a margin of 0.52%) but Bush won the electoral college 271 to 266 because he carried Florida by 537 votes.

North Carolina trending 2-3% toward Trump in many counties.

Hold a little longer, Biden got out to $5 in 2020.

Maxed at $4 I thought.

If Georgia and NC fall to Trump, the market will panic and that'll be the time to go.

The unbiased Bigfooty experts have convinced me that Kamala has it in the bag, so making up for cup day losses by going all in with those odds, go Kamala!!!

Trumps lead down to 200k in GA, CBS reporting that Harris needs 56% of remaining vote to win it.

It was into 140k. He's steadied slightly.

No one outside south australia understands nor cares about these references. Can you keep it to the croweaters boards?

Doesn’t help that the networks call red states immediately but drag their feet on blue states. New York is gonna be blue CNN, just call it.

NY has been called for Blue.

They don't.

North Carolina trending 2-3% toward Trump in many counties.

I think NC is lost for her, GA going to be super close.

If they lose that aint the lesson. They would of been thumped at the polls if they did what the base wanted on Gaza before the election.

The little swinging needle on the New York Times website is usually pretty accurate and a good tool, it is on the cusp of moving to Lean Trump

NY has been counted

Lol, no it's been called. Not counted.

Lol, no it's been called. Not counted.

It's what I meant, sorry

1964 the last time a Democrat scored at least 40% in Wyoming

 

[And_ROOS]

I did that last time when Biden got out to about $4, but all the talk leading up to it had been how Democrats were postal voting or early voting in huge numbers due to the pandemic, so i chucked a cheeky $20 on just figuring if it happened no harm.

as someone who never gambles, i was stoked to get $80 back or whatever it was I got for what seemed like a common sense bet to me haha

Its not always common sense though is it? I put money on a Brisbane GF win this year because to me its common sense that Sydney would bottle the flag.

Meanwhile I knew people who said it would be common sense that a Sydney team so dominant would beat the 5th placed interstate team in the GF.

Common sense ain't always so common when money is involved.

My rough calculations have Harris needing 57% of remaining Georgian votes to win it.

That would do it for her then.

I genuinely thought it was going red, this is huge.

It is really disgusting that it is constantly mentioned. Australia's addiction to gambling makes me sad

Better than the yanks addiction to guns.

NY Times giving trump 66% chance.

Hilary Clinton won the nationwide popular vote in 2016 and lost the election. The nationwide vote is meaningless.

Its not meaningless as an indicator of who will win. Its just not a perfect indicator and trump has a head start in the race.

Clintons result in 2016 is bad news for harris given she is even less ahead then clinton was. But it doesnt rule her put of contention from winning.

 

[beez]

I think NC is lost for her, GA going to be super close.

Both trends certainly favouring Trump.
