    China won't need good luck if Beijing Biden ends up in the White House.

    78M votes - Biden

    73M votes - Trump

    No sorry, only half the people across our nation are celebrating. I know the progressive left likes to try and pretend and convince themselves that everybody agrees with them. They dont.

    This was certainly a weird, crazy election. How can any party's presidential candidate win the presidency by around 5 million votes, give or take and lose seats in the house? This is the first time since 1884 where a party's candidate won the popular vote on his way to winning the presidency and lost seats in the house. This election was a rejection of Trump, but not a mandate or an endorsement of Democratic policies and agenda. If it was the Democrats would have easily won the senate, gained seats in the house, gain state legislatures and governorship's. They didn't, they failed miserably.

    The current election tally so far.

    Presidency, Biden wins

    Senate democrat's net gain of 1 seat so far. Not much of a gain considering the Republicans had 23 seats up for reelection vs. 12 for the Democrats. Currently it 50-48 GOP. The two Georgia races will be decided in a 5 Jan 2021 runoff.

    The Republicans have a net gain of 9 seats so far with 9 still to be decided. Republicans flipped 11 Democratic seats; 1 Libertarian seat, MI-3, Amash who once was a Republican, but switched to the Libertarian Party. The Democrats flipped 3 Republican seats. Last election. 235 Democrats, 199 Republican, 1 Libertarian. Current count, 219 Democrat, 207 Republican 9 still to be determined.

    State legislature, democrats lost 2. Republicans now control 29 state legislatures to 18 for the Democrats. Arizona is still up in the air. Minnesota is divided while Nebraska has a unicameral legislature.

    governorship's democrats lost one. Republicans now have 27 governors to 23 for the Democrats. The Republicans won 8 of 11 Governors races.

    This election was all about getting rid of Trump, not so much about Biden and certainly not about accepting the Democratic Party's agenda. The down ballot results prove that.

    Trump plans to let go of the tiger's tail a little more in Afghanistan on January 15th he just announced, wonder how that will go

    at first I thought Trump was ending the war, but turns out he is just lessening our strength over there 5 days before Biden takes office

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/16/politics/trump-afghanistan-iraq-troop-drawdown-order/index.html

    "The Pentagon has issued a notice to commanders known as a "warning order" to begin planning to drawdown the number of troops in Afghanistan to 2,500 troops and 2,500 in Iraq by Jan 15, the officials said. Currently there are approximately 4,500 US troops in Afghanistan and 3,000 troops in Iraq."
