Except a presidents job is foreign policy. For domestic policy senate and house has far more control.

The rural republican voters were never going to vote for Harris. Her only chance was to motivate the progressives to go out and vote but instead she spit on them at every opporitunity and sprinted to the right to try and court votes she was never going to get anyways.

Just look at the votes. Trumps vote total barely changed. Harris lost more than 10 million votes for the DNC. That says nobody switched from trump to Harris but a lot of people were so disgusted with Harris that they didn’t even bother to show up.

This isn’t election interference. Wals is from a very red county. This wasn’t news for anyone from MN. It was just an easy headline.

It would have been far more newsworthy if they had voted for him.

This isn’t even news. Walz is from a deeply red area of the state. There was basically a 0% chance they went blue.

Kamala was the better candidate. But that doesn’t mean she was a good candidate. If they want to win then making people choose between a pile of shit and a turd sandwich isn’t the winning move.

All the projections I’m seeing him show him almost certainly winning the popular vote. There’s a gap of 6 million votes and almost every state is over 90% reported in. That gap is going to likely shrink a bit, but unfortunately it almost certainly won’t be enough for him to even lose the popular vote.

Lets face it, we’re (assuming you’re american) apparently just a country of facists. It looks like GOP is going to have majority in both houses too so here comes project 2025 I guess.

Trump is winning the popular vote by a pretty decent margin. The electoral college isn’t the issue here.

Exactly, Harris has been mag dumping into her own feet on the final stretch to make this as close of a race as it is. It’s like she’s desperate to not win by too much. My inner conspiracy theorist is wondering if that’s not actually the case. If harris won by a landslide then that would neuter trump and the far right as a threat. That would mean the DNC couldn’t keep using them to push corporate moderates through by just saying “vote us or get the fash again”. But if the DNC just barely wins then they can keep using trump and those like him as a threat.
