The race is run, the winner declared!

For further discussion of the election:

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...

How will it be a shock? It was always going to be close.

I don't know man maybe I've been reading too many Reddit threads where everyone reckons it's a sure thing.

Harris should have said that trump would crash the economy with his mass deportations.

Seeing a US election again really makes you appreciate how we get campaign and get results within 6 weeks.

You know our elections are relativity normal and peaceful when you realise this is our craziest election moment.

 

[spinynorman]

I don't know, this is giving me 2016 vibes, forgone conclusion that Trump has no chance, that Clinton/Harris will win, only for Trump to shock everyone and win.

Not everyone.

Reddit is incredibly left leaning

Even this place is left leaning but most here knew it would be tight

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Boooooooo was hoping he was gone

I think a lot of Republicans also secretly wanted him gone. He's a disgrace.

What even is American TV? I just saw an ad for Jesus.

Emma and sam live at 11am for anyone interested

the_interloper - RM Brown just dropped in on the TMR election stream.

Get on it mate! It's PURE GOLD!

 

[Zevon]

there are two things that irk me:
A) Compulsory voting
B) The fact that a felon who is a sexual abuser and con artist during a cost of living crisis (and prior to) is possibly going to become the President of the United States

The irony is that if the US had compulsory voting then Trump would probably never have become president in the first place.

People complain about it, but compulsory voting is a seriously under-appreciated gift.

To me, Iowa will be really interesting to watch given Selzer's poll the other day. Trump favourite to win however how close Harris can get or possibly pip will be so interesting to watch.

Has he dropped a new single?

Florida is pretty much a red (Republican) state. The Republicans have managed to tap into the religious Hispanic vote in areas such as Miami. My mother-in-law comes from Central America and she's ultra-religious. She's the archetypal Trump supporter (to my wife's despair) and there's plenty of similar people in the panhandle.

Probably a fair few Cuban-Americans who hate Castro/socialism have been persuaded (dishonestly) that Dems are socialist in the same vein.

That, older migrants from other states and a popular Republican governor.

That's where Dems need to focus. Get a popular candidate for the next Senate or governor's race and start to chip it back.

Harris should have said that trump would crash the economy with his mass deportations.

Nah she should be tried to appeal to young people and said "Ong bruh fr Trump is a skibidi beta he about to fanum tax his gyat over the entire country vote for Harris if you're a sigma rizzler and give Donald Trump's campaign the ol hawk tuah!!"

Fat little bitchy hippo reps for fat orange bitchy hippo isn't exactly shocking now is it?

 

[Cap]

I mean true, but for the most part a lot of people seem to think Harris is the likely winner, same with Clinton.

I do think there's a very good chance Trump wins.

I think you are making that up so you can come back later and said I told you so.

If anything, looking online most people who appear to vote Democrats seem to being saying exactly what you are, that is they saw 2016 so you can't be confident

Left leaning?
Bit of an understatement.

I don't know man maybe I've been reading too many Reddit threads where everyone reckons it's a sure thing.

Reddit is heavily left-biased. It's the nature of the site.

It was always going to be close. And early signs are that at least Harris is keeping it competitive. Biden was a dead man walking and even if the Democrats lose, at least they made it a contest by convincing Biden to step down.

Harris should have said that trump would crash the economy with his mass deportations.

I thought you had already called it for Harris? How’s the landslide going?

Mandatory voting, ranked choice and snags.

3 key killers of elections

Ted Cruz takes the lead by a bee's dick with 38% counted

My poor brain reading that.

Left leaning?
Bit of an understatement.

Probably because the left are generally more educated and know how to use a computer.

The Republicans have gained a Senate seat. Jim Justice, the Republican governor West Virginia, has won the Senate election after the incumbent, Joe Manchin III, an independent who caucused with the Democrats declined to run again after Mr Justice threw his hat in the ring. Mr Justice defeated Glenn Elliott, the Democratic former mayor of Wheeling. The Democrats didn't spend much money on the Senate race.

the vast majority of Reddit is 'its too close to call'

Then there are on both sides who think it's a forgone conclusion

I mean yes I think if Biden had run they'd be ****ed, Harris at least injected some life into things.
