Joe and Kamala needs to declare victory tonight. Some in the media and others tip toeing

[still_one]

around to coddle trump is nonsense

[TwilightZone]

1. No.

They should wait until it is semi-official. The other candidate in the race took a massive amount of flak for declaring early. I think Biden's current approach - confidence in the outcome - is perfect.

[stopdiggin]

19. 100%

Contrast yourself to the person who is NOT acting presidential. That's the storyline.

[ecstatic]

2. Agreed! trump is doing everything he can to fight

and now it's time to take the gloves off, declare victory, and don't let them take this from us. I'm so sick of all the gaslighting!

[Hoyt]

3. I'm fine with Biden taking it easy on GOPers. We don't have to be like them.

[TwilightZone]

4. "We don't have to be like them."

This can't be said enough.

[octoberlib]

5. Nevada should have been called already. It's ridiculous.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

6. Nope not until it's called

Anything could happen if Trump happened to pull a miracle, they would be mocked endlessly.

[luv2fly]

7. Joe himself said it's gonna take time

It has to play out, then the winner says so. If that's tonight, cool!

[misanthrope]

8. No one is coddling Trump

The networks would tell you they are looking out for their journalistic integrity. What they won't state is an axiom of investigative journalism: follow the money.

The protracted drama and tension is good for ratings.

[BlueJac]

9. Wait it out, we won and everybody knows it

[Johnny2X2X]

10. The race is over, Joe won

The media needs to call it. It’s finished. They’re leaving the door open for Don BS by waiting.

[helpisontheway]

11. They should cancel the address tonight. Makes no sense if the media

will not say he is the president elect.

[Thekaspervote]

12. It was just fux snooz that said they were told not to call him president elect

[IGoToDU]

13. It's my birthday today

I know you all know what I want for my birthday. It’s the only thing I want!

[Thekaspervote]

15. Happy birthday!! And what a gift that would be

[SheltieLover]

18. Happy Birthday!

May your wish come true!

[Thekaspervote]

14. Read last night that PA would be called for Joe when his lead is 20k

I agree in going slow. Imagine if they got a count wrong in one of the remaining states and had to retract it. His goons would be going see..and say it happened all over the country

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Be STRONG!

Heck, the right-wing authoritarian weirdos will probably admire it!

[PufPuf23]

17. Joe and Kamala declare victory and Melania concede the election

for the toxic gas bag.

[gollygee]

20. They know Biden won

and this talk of "official" is not how it works - news agencies have never waited for it anything official. They've always kept adding numbers as they've gotten them and come to a conclusion on their own as to when to project a winner. That's why they call it projecting and not declaring a winner.
