JOE BIDEN DEFEATS DONALD TRUMP TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE, NBC NEWS PROJECTS

[George II]

Source: NBC

WILMINGTON, Del. -- Joe Biden became president-elect Saturday after winning the pivotal state of Pennsylvania, NBC News projected.

The former vice president amassed 273 Electoral College votes after winning Pennsylvania's 20 electors, according to NBC News, surpassing the 270 needed to win the White House and defeat President Donald Trump.

Biden's victory capped one of the longest and most tumultuous campaigns in modern history, in which he maintained an aggressive focus on Trump's widely criticized handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. A majority of voters said rising coronavirus cases were a significant factor in their vote, according to early results from the NBC News Exit Poll of early and Election Day voters.

Biden regularly criticized Trump as unfit for office and positioned his campaign as a "battle for the soul of America." He promised from the outset of his run to heal and unite the country if he won, and made central to his closing message a pledge to represent both those who voted for him as well as those who didn't when he got to the White House.

[BlueIdaho]

27. I am so happy - so proud today

President Elect Biden overcame the odds and is now the 46th President of the United States. While we still have work to do - this calls an end to the tyranny of Trump and his flying monkeys. Together we can flush the shit down the drain and start to turn America towards a brighter future.

But let us not forget the history making election of Vice President Harris - the first female POC to serve in that position. She will be a tremendous leader for our country. Together they will restore American respect and American compassion to the world.

[Ligyron]

76. She also happens to bring and incredible amount of talent and energy to the job.

Something tells me she won't be just be doing what a lot of VP's have done ... basically nothing. Joe and she will come up with an area for her to tackle 'cause it's a mess in there.

I really hope Joe and she get the rest of the states too so the GOP's BS won't matter, even if they manage to peel off some Penn votes with some corrupt court.

Tears of joy are flowing down my cheeks!

[BumRushDaShow]

32. HOT DAMN

I saw that PA's elections site added another batch just before this announcement and the difference in votes at that time is now 0.5% which is enough to NOT trigger an automatic recount.

[ancianita]

33. ALSO NPR, AP AND FOX.

[hamsterjill]

Dare we believe that the nightmare is over and the awakening will begin?

Go, Joe!!!

42. For those disappointed

In no Blue Tsunami. Remember who all we defeated and will rid our house of. Stephen Miller, Mark Meadows, JaVanka, Bravis and Butthead, Bill Ball, PompesAsshole, KellyAnne, Kiwi MegaNinnie, Mnuchin, Gooliani, DeJoy. And all the criminals he apppitatef to every agency. On top, all Fox assholes will be crying for years. Seems like a damn large wave to me. And Senate is still in play. Maybe a tie. And that gives Kamala the tie breaking vote. Pop those corks on anything ya got. This is, as Paula White was screaming to GOD, Victory Victory Victory Victory Victory Victory Victory Victory.......maybe she did not no what those in tongue words where she was shouting to God???

[Trueblue Texan]

56. I am an Atheist, but thank God...

I gotta thank someone, so thank all of you, thank me, thank everyone at DU, thank all the loving and benevolent forces in the Universe that made this happen. Thank everyone who donated, phone banked, got out the vote, registered voters, worked the polls, worked on educating voters in their personal spheres of influence...thank you, all. And thank whatever mysterious forces that may have helped make this happen. I am so full of gratitude I cannot express it adequately. Let's not stop working to support this president in his efforts to save our democracy and stem the destructive force of Covid-19.

[Blue_Roses]

71. What awesome news to wake up to!!!

[Jedi Guy]

72. Thank God, the end of this nightmare is officially in sight.

Only 74 more days of Trump's bullshit for us to tolerate. At noon on January 20, we'll have an honest, decent, honorable President and Vice President getting us out of the shit pit Dolt 45 and his sycophants dug us into.

75. AP CALLS NEVADA FOR BIDEN

We're on a roll.

[George II]

86. They're saying Georgia later this afternoon. If so, Biden will have more EVs than trump in 2016.

[wnylib]

87. Plus about 5 million popular votes.

We won "bigly."

[DLCWIdem]

77. Yes. Take a minute to celebrate. Now lets work for the senate

[LanternWaste]

78. And a special congratulations to VP Harris for her historic shattering of another ceiling!!

Ain't gonnna sweat Trump's reaction over the next coupla months... as a lame duck he's got no juice anymore.

Let's hope Trump wastes these remaining months and all his efforts on ineffectual recounts rather than some petulant scorched earth EOs.

[OnlinePoker]

79. And Trump tweets...

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

Link to tweet

[Rizen]

80. The nightmare is finally over!

But the problem of Republicans has shown to be worse than ever. We can't let them win!

[deepthought42]

81. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Love seeing all the people in DC outside the WH celebrating! Time to tear down that wall!

[SWBTATTReg]

82. My sister texted me a msg "YAY YAY HOORAY!!" when I got up this a.m. and did my normal routine to

let the dogs out to do their morning business. I assumed that perhaps good news of this nature (Biden/Kamala) being called as the winners.

Checked into DU after making my cup of coffee and all I can say is "What a nice way to wake up in the morning!!"

Now it's my turn to Yell!!

Congratulations to ALL of us for our hard earned victory!

[bucolic_frolic]

83. Moo!!! Mooooooooooooo!!!! MOOOOOOOOO!

Time to party till the cows come home!!!! MooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOO!

[Sunsky]

84. YAY!!!

[BeckyDem]

85. Omg. I am crying I am so relieved and so happy!

Biden-Harris, THANK YOU, AND TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texin]

88. I haven't stopped shaking for over an hour.

The relief is so overwhelming and my emotions are all over the place: the relief and the joy. I suppose I've been (like many I expect) unaware until now how so many of us have been holding our collective breath for almost four years.

[olegramps]

89. I am grateful its finally over. My thanks to all never lost the faith and soldiered on.

[ffr]

90. In a way, I feel sorry for Texas, Iowa, and Ohio for coming out on the wrong side of history.

They will never be able to take that back. They should do some sole searching and see where they went wrong.

[SpankMe]

91. I've been cynical until now

But, it's a safe bet that Biden will also take NV and AZ for yet another 17 EV's. I predict it'll be 290 to 245 in favor of Biden/Harris.

I wish Joe and Kamala could have broken 300 EV's for the impact. But, I'll take what I can get at this point.

And, remember - the Orange Asshole and his minions aren't going to give up so easy. There are lawsuits and armed dumbasses yet to contend with.

[1plus1equals1]

92. On to Georgia to secure the Senate!

[nattyice]

93. Does that mean the White House McDonald's will close?

No more hamberders, I guess

[melm00se]

94. hate to rain on the parade

I hate to rain on everyone's day, there are a few dates and steps that need to happen:

The first, obviously, was 11/3 is Election Day.

The next ones are the dates that each state certifies their election results. These dates range from 11/5 to 12/11.

After that, the Electoral College meets on 12/14 and vote.

Then there is the statutory deadline for the College to deliver Electoral Certificates to the president of the Senate, who is Vice President Mike Pence; the secretary of state of the state where the electors met; the archivist of the United States; and the federal district court judge of the district where the electors met is 12/23.

On January 6, the newly sworn in Congress counts the Electoral College votes. If, for some reason, the Electoral College votes are not resolved, Congress will then vote/select the President and Vice President.

Then on January 20, the President/Vice President are inaugurated.

So, despite what the network talking heads might say, there still is the better part of 2 months where the Orange asshole can maneuver and manipulate to change the end result.

[nitpicker]

96. +1

Add to that the threatened lawsuits (may they all be rejected).

[bdamomma]

95. YES
