If Trump loses Wisconsin, he loses the election. There is no mathematical path for him to win the White House without Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Biden by virtue of flipping Arizona can win the presidency by only winning Wisconsin and Michigan. Biden doesn’t need Pennsylvania if he wins Wisconsin.
A recount is not going to produce more than 20,000 found votes for Donald Trump. It is a desperate move by a campaign that knows they have probably lost the state and grasping at any straw to contest the election.

Frankly , we did win this election , ” Trump said from the White House .
“ This is a very big moment .
This is a major fraud on our nation .

So we ’ ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court .
We want all voting to stop .
We don ’ t want them to find any ballots at four o ’ clock in the morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s a very sad moment.
” It is highly unlikely that even the Supreme Court would move to invalidate votes that have already been counted in Arizona , Michigan , Nevada , and Wisconsin .

When Rudy Giuliani wanted to drop his crazy conspiracy theory about Hunter Biden , he didn ’ t have to go far .
The Post was willing to take on the story .
But following his poor results in the election , the GOP has furiously been turning their back on the president and his team .
The New York Post is no different .
On Thursday night , the paper published a story blasting Donald Trump Jr .
The story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for total war in clueless tweet .
The body of the story read , “ Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday fired off a tweet calling for his dad to wage “ total war over the election ” — while parroting the same allegations of voter fraud that his father has used to explain away his dwindling hopes of staying in the White House.
” Writer Ben Freuland also noted , “ Trump Jr. , who has a long history of using Twitter to fuel conspiracy theories , hit the send button amid a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s campaign to turn the election — including one in Pennsylvania that sought to stop vote counting.
” The idea that the Post would turn it ’ s back on Trump may not be that big a surprise .
The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox News .
Team Trump has essentially begun a war with Fox after the network called Arizona for Joe Biden on Tuesday night .

The lawyer continued, “He lied about what he was impeached for, and about what he should have been impeached for, by claiming his phone call with the Ukrainian president was perfect, and by asserting that special counsel Robert S.

The public finger-pointing has begun as Donald Trump Jr. is accusing Republicans who want to run for president in 2024 of not doing enough to help his dad.
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted:
The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing.

Trump lead in Pennsylvania has fallen to a bit more than 90,000 votes as Joe Biden is making his move with mail-in voters.
Dave Wasserman tweeted where the vote is coming from in PA:
Breaking: as expected, Biden just took the lead in Lehigh Co. (Allentown) by 4k votes (2.8%) and his lead there is poised to climb much higher w/ subsequent batches. — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 5, 2020
Biden is expected to more than double Clinton’s margin in Lehigh:
Biden is also on pace for a large lead (likely 15k+ votes) when mail ballots are counted in Lehigh Co. (Allentown). Clinton carried it by 7k votes in 2016. — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 5, 2020
Biden is also soon expected to take the lead in Erie County:
It does appear Biden is on track to take the lead soon in Erie Co., the ultimate PA bellwether. — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 5, 2020
Erie is big because Obama carried it twice, but Trump won it in 2016.
There are still hundreds of thousands of votes to be counted in Pennsylvania, and those mail-in ballots are going to be heavily for Joe Biden. The Trump campaign has been trying to get the ballots tossed that arrived during the three-day extension, but those votes may not matter.
The Biden charge that was widely expected in Pennsylvania is unfolding. Trump has little vote outstanding, and his dwindling lead will not be enough to hold off the hundreds of thousands of expected votes for Joe Biden.

politicususa--2020-11-05--Republicans Admit That Trump Is In Deep Trouble In Pennsylvania

All of the talk about other states and paths might end up irrelevant , as the real problem for Donald Trump is in Pennsylvania .
I have a very hard time seeing a comeback path for the president in Pennsylvania .
There ’ s just nowhere in the state where he ’ s overperforming his ’ 16 margin by enough if at all to be able to offset the kinds of defections we have seen from Trump in suburban Pennsylvania .
But not just the suburbs , also in northeastern Pennsylvania , we have seen a pretty strong Biden performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas and the Lehigh area .
Northampton county is Bethlehem .
We saw Donald Trump win that county and flip it from Obama in 2016 .
It apparently has flipped back to Biden , who has a lead and that Biden needed to lose by 3 points or less .
These numbers are really encouraging for Biden across the board , and , you know , I was — I was speaking with a congressional Republican who pays close attention to these numbers last night .
Who admitted that trump is in deep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump in Pennsylvania go even deeper .
In the red counties in Western Pennsylvania , my pre-election analysis found that Biden had room to add thousands of Democratic votes , even in the reddest Trump rural counties .
Despite holding rallies in that part of the state in the last week of the campaign , Trump seems to have maxed out his vote there and didn ’ t build on his 2016 margins .
In many counties , Joe Biden improved by few points , and that looks enough to put a ceiling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region , which set Biden up to run the table in Northeast PA , the suburbs , and the cities .
Trump is likely to end up losing Pennsylvania by hundreds of thousands of votes , as it appears that the Blue Wall has been restored and it will send Joe Biden to the White House .

politicususa--2020-11-06--WATCH: Steve Schmidt Thinks Tucker Carlson Will be 2024 Republican Nominee

In late 2015 , early 2016 , nearly 20 contenders fought it out for the Republican nomination .
Many of them had significant political experience , working as senators , congresspeople or governors of large states .
But in the end , GOP voters picked a failed businessman and reality television show host to be their standard bearer .
It worked out well for them , as Donald Trump was able to win the presidency and nominate 3 Conservative Supreme Court justice .
According to Steve Schmidt , it wouldn ’ t be a surprise if Republican voters again picked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political experience .
He thinks the party will nominate Tucker Carlson during the 2024 process .
Schmidt made the comments while speaking with MSNBC ’ s Brian Williams .
“ I think that Tucker Carlson is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024 , ” he said .
“ What you are going to see is every Republican candidate will kowtow to the conspiracy that Trump was stabbed in the back by unseen malicious forces of the deep state , that the election was stolen , that it ’ s illegitimate forever.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a majority of the Republican Party will believe this was an illegitimate election , because they have been poisoned by the Murdoch operation , by OAN , by Sinclair , by the toxic sludge of sewage and crap and disinformation and lies that flows on Facebook into the screens of the American people .

In late 2015, early 2016, nearly 20 contenders fought it out for the Republican nomination. Many of them had significant political experience, working as senators, congresspeople or governors of large states.
But in the end, GOP voters picked a failed businessman and reality television show host to be their standard bearer. It worked out well for them, as Donald Trump was able to win the presidency and nominate 3 Conservative Supreme Court justice.
According to Steve Schmidt, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Republican voters again picked someone who has television experience and no political experience. He thinks the party will nominate Tucker Carlson during the 2024 process.
Schmidt made the comments while speaking with MSNBC‘s Brian Williams. “I think that Tucker Carlson is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024,” he said. “What you are going to see is every Republican candidate will kowtow to the conspiracy that Trump was stabbed in the back by unseen malicious forces of the deep state, that the election was stolen, that it’s illegitimate forever.”
Schmidt continued, “More than a majority of the Republican Party will believe this was an illegitimate election, because they have been poisoned by the Murdoch operation, by OAN, by Sinclair, by the toxic sludge of sewage and crap and disinformation and lies that flows on Facebook into the screens of the American people. So this is a long-term fight.”

This is a very substantial victory by Vice President Biden. It is a historic victory. It is hard to turn a president out of office.

Steve Schmidt was referring to Lindsey Graham pushing the idea that the PA state legislature that could appoint their own Trump slate of electors and ignore voting results:

Courts have already rejected the rationale that Graham was suggesting in other related cases. The state legislature does not have the ability to nullify an election, but make no mistake what Graham was suggesting was a coup to keep Trump in power.
The good news is that Democrats have a chance to make Republicans pay by taking over the Senate with victories in two Georgia runoff election.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into allegations that the Trump campaign’s use of the White House as an Election Day command center violated federal law, Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell said on Thursday.
In a statement, Pascrell said the federal watchdog responded on Thursday to his call for a probe, telling him a special unit “has opened an investigation into these allegations to determine if the Hatch Act was violated.”
President Donald Trump monitored election returns in the living room of the White House residence on Tuesday, later addressing some 200 supporters gathered in the East Room.
Pascrell had asked the special counsel, Henry Kerner, to investigate reports suggesting that Trump used space in the adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building – on the grounds of the White House – as a campaign “war room.”
The New Jersey lawmaker said Trump was also expected to be briefed in the White House residence and the Oval Office throughout the day by campaign officials, which he said put executive branch officials at risk of violating federal law.
The Hatch Act of 1939 limits the political activities of federal employees, except the president and vice president.
The White House denied any violation of the federal law. “Both the official activity of Administration officials, as well as any political activity undertaken by members of the Administration, are conducted in compliance with the Hatch Act,” said spokesman Judd Deere.
No comment was immediately available from the Office of the Special Counsel.
Pascrell said the Special Counsel’s office told him it “was not consulted (by the Trump campaign or White House) on the decision to use space inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as a campaign ‘war room.’”
The agency launched an investigation last month of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech to the Republican National Convention in August, and last year recommended the firing of then-senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway for repeated violations.
Kerner is a Trump appointee who previously worked for Republican lawmakers in Congress. His office is an independent agency that enforces the Hatch Act. It is not connected to the office of former U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Donald Trump‘s White House aides are starting to look for new jobs as they seem to know that the Trump presidency is over.
CNN‘s Kaitlan Collins reported:
The atmosphere inside the West Wing is being described as a bit frenzied as reality sets in that Biden is only pulling further ahead. Trump’s closest aides seem to be working to manage his frustration. Mark Meadows is focused on Pennsylvania. And many others are looking for jobs. — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 6, 2020
The three faces of the White House. 1). Rage can be seen by the aides who are trying to control Donald Trump. 2). Denial is Mark Meadows staring at the results in Pennsylvania and hoping things change. 3). Acceptance is the Trump White House aides who know that it’s over and they’re looking for new jobs.
Because incumbents presidents losing their reelection campaigns is such a rare occurrence in the US system, it is not shocking that people in the White House were operating under the assumption that Trump would pull it out in the end.
However, no president has done more to self-destruct and get himself voted out of office than Trump. Donald Trump may never admit it, but his defeat can be seen in those White House aides who are looking for new jobs.

Biden has doubled his lead in Nevada, which signifies that the race in the state is moving toward a Biden victory.
Jon Ralston tweeted:
NEWS: Clark ballots are in, Biden doubles lead to 22K in Nevada. It is over. — Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) November 6, 2020
Rural counties are coming in for Trump in the state though:
Douglas County, another rural county, just dropped a sizable 5,199 votes, 3,252 for Donald Trump and 1,663 for Joe Biden. That's slightly narrowed Biden's lead to 1.63% or 20,552 votes. Statewide numbers:
– Joe Biden: 49.76% (626,202)
– Donald Trump: 48.13% (605,650) — Megan Messerly (@meganmesserly) November 6, 2020
The Trump campaign sued the state of Nevada for voter fraud in a dispute over 10,000 votes, but Biden’s margin has grown to twice the amount listed in the Trump campaign’s frivolous lawsuit. Most of the vote to come in the state is from heavily Democratic Clark County.
As is the case with what is happening in Pennsylvania and Georgia, Biden is expected to continue to add to his lead after these votes are counted.
Jon Ralston is the nation’s foremost political expert on Nevada elections. He said that the race is over, so it is highly likely that Joe Biden is going to win Nevada.

Joe Biden’s victory is proof that Donald Trump is not a winner. In fact, he is only the fourth incumbent president in US history to lose his bid for reelection.
Fox News is in denial and refusing to refer to Biden as the president-elect. Joe Biden won with a historic turnout. He brought blue states back home and may end up flipping two red states (Arizona and Georgia).
Republicans set a turnout record for their party, but Democrats had more.
Trump is going to refuse to follow the norms of a peaceful transition of power. The nation should expect that there will be no meetings between the outgoing Trump administration and the Biden transition team.
It is also possible that Trump leaves the White House for Thanksgiving break, and doesn’t come back.
Trump isn’t boycotting Biden’s inauguration. He’s throwing a temper tantrum.

Fox News has instructed all of their on-air talent to avoid calling Joe Biden president-elect in their programming.
Oliver Darcy tweeted:
New: Fox News is instructing its talent not to call Joe Biden the “President-elect” when the network calls the race, according to two memos obtained by @brianstelter and me. The memos say Fox should “stay away” from using the description. — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) November 6, 2020
Fox talent was also told to play up Trump’s legal challenge:
The memos emphasized that Fox should report moves by Trump’s legal teams to challenge the results. “We will report both sides until there is further guidance,” one memo said. — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) November 6, 2020
The memos are a reminder that Fox News is not objective. They are not a news network. The network does contain news elements. For example, their polling operation is held in high regard as bipartisan and credible, which is why Trump criticized it so much, but the output of the network is propagandistic.
Fox News is pushing Trumpism and an ideology, and the dynamic has never been made more clear than the order from the top that Joe Biden is not to be called president-elect in their programming.

Joe Biden just took the lead in Pennsylvania by more than 5,000 votes over Donald Trump thanks to votes from Philadelphia.
Dave Wasserman of The Cook Report tweeted:
And there it is: Biden takes the lead in PA by 5,587 votes w/ latest count out of Philadelphia. — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 6, 2020

Trump 3,760 (12%) And there is far more to come from Philly & other counties. — Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 6, 2020
Biden’s margin will grow in the hours to come, but we might not get a projection of a Biden victory until this afternoon, as Allegheny County was under a court order and unable to count the rest of their heavily leaning Biden ballots (29,000) until 5 PM.
The same thing that happened in Michigan is happening in Pennsylvania. Joe Biden is going to pull away from Trump and pile up a big late lead. Biden’s margin of victory in Pennsylvania could end up being hundreds of thousands of votes.
The Biden strategy was always to focus on Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They won all three and Joe Biden will soon be president-elect.

The electoral math is holding. Joe Biden has the lead in Georgia. He is up by more than 9,000 votes with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
Senator Chris Coons told MSNBC that Stacey Abrams brought a plan to him six years ago to flip Georgia blue: “We’ve got a very strong ground game in Georgia because of the leadership of Stacey Abrams,” Coons said.
An observation I came across earlier that I’ll repeat here: “Georgia isn’t necessarily a red state. It’s a voter-suppressed state.”
Although Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced there will be a recount (and there are still military and provisional ballots left to count), there is no doubt that the situation in Georgia has dramatically altered the electoral calculus as we know it.
