Not looking good as Trump holds Florida and Ohio.

Not looking good as Trump holds Florida and Ohio.

Both those have been flipping along projections. It's not looking great though.

Trump has already tweeted about stealing the election in the last hour or so. So there definitely way more to play out.

Sound like it will take days to settle the result.

Georgia is possibly the next state to really care about as North Carolina is very likely Trump.

PA supposedly has not counted the strong Democrat districts yet...might be why Biden said they were still going to win this and Trump's tweet.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Will have to see if things change after but it looks like at the moment the USA has gone full retard. Even after all that has happened under trump, the fact it's even close is appalling.

 

[McTallshort]

Looks like it's going to tight....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Didn't expect to wake up to this!
I would've thought 2016 would've been peak (ish) Trump support, and that increased turnout would be largely anti-Trump, but those are big numbers.

Seems that most peoples hopes are resting on mail-in/absentee voting which is expected to be heavily pro-Biden and is going to take ages to count - which is why trump just tweeted about the Dems trying to cheat/steal the election

Watching BBC they seam to be very bullish about MI, PA and WI for Biden. It's all about the absentee ballots which are over 50% of the vote and haven't been counted yet (don't understand how they've counted over 50% vote). Everything that has been counted so far has a 1% swing to Biden and those states were won by less than that last time by Trump.

This is why is ducking insane announcing counts before it's all been counted.

Trump to make speech...I'm going for a run.

Fox News had called Arizona for Biden but only based on 1/4 of the votes counted. White House was supposed to be furious with them for this. That would be a big state to flip, which gives a glimmer of hope if it did.

But yes, it's down to those rust belt states. But just thinking Ohio being solid Trump/Republican again makes me fear they'll be stay with him/GOP again.

Latino vote amongst American Cubans in Florida supposedly turned out big for Trump. Nuts. But reading their fear of any hint of Socialism is the driving factor.

Well I'm sure Americans will consult with you next time they are asked to vote for the leader of their country.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Amazing how tight it is

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How is this speech not dangerous

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Switched it off. His speeches have been dangerous for the last 4 years, not gonna change win or lose. Looks like America really doesn't care, it's his " bullish personna" they seem to love not his substance.

Insane how anyone can look at someone like Joe ******* Biden and think "yup, Communist"

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Regardless of the result I can see the Democrats splitting hard after this election.

Progressives v Dems

Which is a worry in a 2 party system

Glad I didn't stay up and watch when it's still so close this morning.

Read an article yesterday that gun sales have went through the roof in USA, sprinkle a little bit of Trump 'we were robbed' spice on that powder keg and it could go off.

A lot of businesses have been boarded up in cities, expecting trouble.
Someone I follow on twitter said her Doctors appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled and her Doctor's said they're closing for the rest of the week as they're anticipating it won't be safe for staff/patients.

Yep, they are scared of any hint of Socialism, so scarred by their experience of Cuba. But it's also probably due to any hint of Biden normalizing relations with Cuba as well if he were to win.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Trump saying he'll go to the Supreme Court to "get voting to stop"

The irony being he and his wife both voted via mail, and now he's saying mail in votes should be binned

That removes any shred of doubt (as if there were any) as to why he rushed through his new SC pick
