Biden's lead over Trump surpasses 6M votes as more ballots are tallied

Source: The Hill


BY CELINE CASTRONUOVO - 11/21/20 08:43 AM EST

President-elect Joe Biden reached a lead of more than 6 million votes over President Trump on Friday as ballots continue to be counted in some states.

The Associated Press and other major news outlets called the race for Biden two weeks ago, although Trump has repeatedly refused to concede, claiming without evidence that he won and that there were widespread cases of voter fraud in key states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, both of which voted for Biden.

As of Saturday morning, Biden held a total of 79,816,557 votes nationwide, compared to 73,781,603 votes for Trump, according to the AP.

Biden is projected to lead the electoral vote count with 306 votes, with the sitting president holding 232.

and when Hillary won by three million, and we had to watch as complete assholes re-wrote American history, it was difficult to sit through those four year periods and watch part of my life tick away.

You'd think that it would be possible to enjoy the next four years, but something tells me we'll still hear the barbarians pounding at the gates.

I don't doubt Biden will be inaugurated president (probably succeeding Pence, rather than Drumph).

But I'm just as sure Bitchy Mitchy, Miss Lindsey and the rest of the Repugs are going to do anything and everything to try to make Biden "a one-term president."

Even if it means millions of Covid deaths or a full-on depression - a small price as far as they're concerned.

You make an omelet, you break a few eggs.
