What a shocking statement for Trump to make.

The sane Republicans are already condemning Trumps speech.

I suspect he honestly thinks that anything that goes before the SC will go his way because he put 3 judges on.

Checking in and checking out. I've been up since 3 am, it's after midnight now and I'm so tired that I can no longer retain anything I'm hearing.

Keep fighting the good fight. I'll see you all here in a few hours.

Oh, and to PP above. Yes, we have the stamina to keep these threads going IF need be. But I haven't given up yet.

Oh God. Not what I wanted to wake up to this morning.

It doesn't say much for the people that voted for him. We have friends in Ohio who have a daughter with extra needs. I could cry for them.

@Roussette

I would love it if Trump lost with higher numbers of the personal vote. That would be bliss.

Arizona declaring shortly apparently

Is that an Official declaration? I'm totally flummoxed with states being called. As far as I am aware neither Associated Press nor Donald Trump can actually declare a winner

As an aside, will stalwarts have the stamina to keep these threads going for another four years if necessary?
God alone knows... I don't normally give in, and he needs kicking back against.

I told you guys before people are/were really happy about the economy
Economy at the cost of lives, the US have broken records alright... records on number of daily cases. However much he likes to say 'covid covid covid, it's all you talk about', it is killing people.

Economy figures were good but he is not a multi faceted President, he only has the economy, the rest is shit.

Biden has arizona, are we not pleased about that?

Can I check, when BBC says how many votes are left to count, does that include mail in votes? It seems like it should but from what he’s saying maybe not, as he seems to be separating out the mail in ones.
Don’t know if that’s a stupid question

Poor CNN - they keep saying votes are still being counted we can’t declare until all votes are counted. Here is how many are left to count and so on and on. They’re really trying their best to counteract Trumps outrageous statement.

Riots suits Trump perfectly. Nothing would please him more than declaring a State of Emergency

Oh yes, of course pleased about Arizona, only 80% counted but beyond doubt I think.

Exactly what I want to know.

@chomalungma

Democrats win Arizona

It's fascinating to see the exit polls on the postal ballots in the close states.

Yes, the ones I just saw were showing clear Biden leads.

I'm not surprised Tantrump wants to pretend they don't exist.

Hope you have a restful sleep @AcrossthePond55, thanks for your updates through the day/night.

@Roussette economy also at the sake of a massive budget deficit too. Problem is people don’t understand things like the budget deficit.

Pmk

Frazzled no idea I'm afraid, my brain is befuddled with too little sleep.

When will we know who is the clear winner?

This is useful about where things stand: fivethirtyeight.com/features/politics-podcast-the-election-isnt-over/

Basically the sheer volume of mail-in ballots in key states means it’s just too soon to tell. How things look now isn’t really relevant - the only thing that matters is the final count x

Oh hell, Bbc are giving Fartage airspace. Why. He is a complete irrelevance. And of course he is just echoing Trump. Wassock

Oh dear god now Farage has been dug up. Why am I torturing myself like this?

Thank you NewMum that's just what we need.

When will we know who is the clear winner?
How long is a piece of string?!
We don't know.
Mail in votes need to be counted.

I recommend streaming CNN online. Good clear reporting.
