In January 2021, Donald Trump will assume the title of pretender, the first widely-recognized President of the United States in exile. It will not be pretty. The first evidence of this came in Trump’s inability to admit publicly that he lost the November 3rd election. Even when, this past Sunday, he admitted that Joe Biden won, he quickly took it back. Joe Biden won in … Continue reading The coming presidency-in-exile
Ever since the liberal mainstream media called the election for Joe Biden even before all the votes were counted and with allegations of pro-Democratic voter fraud all across this great land of ours, the so-called “free press” has been proclaiming that Donald Trump can’t win the election, that he’s a “loser,” and that Joe Biden is going to be the next president. But these elites … Continue reading Trump could use this little-known loophole to still win the election
Georgia’s two U.S. senators have a bone to pick with the state’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger. See, last week, they ran for re-election in a rare double election (usually only one senate seat is up at a time, but Georgia had a vacancy in 2019 and needed to hold a special election) and, well, they didn’t win. They didn’t lose, either. Georgia requires its … Continue reading Georgia Secretary of State: Be better candidates if you want to win elections
Cities across the U.S. broke out in spontaneous celebration after the Associated Press projected that Joe Biden will win Pennsylvania and, thus, the presidency. In Philadelphia and Atlanta – which were critical to Biden’s victory – revelers took to the streets while in other cities they flocked to parks, public squares, and waterfronts. It’s the kind of celebration the U.S. hasn’t seen in a long … Continue reading It hasn’t felt like this in a long time
Across Twitter, armchair pundits and genuine pundits alike are a little frustrated by the lack of a call in the presidential election. No major network, nor the Associated Press, has called Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Nevada for Joe Biden. Without one of those states, Biden remains in limbo, stuck at a max of 264 electoral votes. He needs 270 to win. And he has them… somewhere. … Continue reading Joe Biden is the winner – but we don’t know how, yet
Julie Rovner At the time of publication, the presidential election remains too close to call. This was expected, and does not indicate that anything is wrong with the process. Independent observers have reported that the election itself appears to be free and fair. This article speculates on the possibility that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will win the vote, but does not assert that he has … Continue reading A Biden Win and Republican Senate Might Lead to Gridlock on Health Issues

Another Pyramid contributor challenged me to a simple contest: predict the outcome of today’s election and whoever is closest gets, you know, the honor of being closest. While he took the Road of Uncertainty, I’m making the bold prediction that by the end of the night, we’ll have three answers to three questions. And, sure, none of them are who will the president be next … Continue reading There’s a chance we look back on this and laugh, right?
Four years ago, my uncle sent a mass e-mail to me and a bunch of other relatives asking us to make election prediction maps and explain our reasoning, and that he would send a token prize of $1 to whoever was closest. I figured, if you want to make a specific prediction of outcomes rather than just repeat the probabilities that a model spits out, … Continue reading Will the Switch to Voting by Mail be an Empowerment or an Obstacle?
Miles Taylor, chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, was the author of “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” a 2018 New York Times essay published anonymously that led to a subsequent book, A Warning, also published anonymously. The essay was scathing, opening with an attack both on President Trump’s intelligence and his White House: “The dilemma … Continue reading It Isn’t Just Trump’s Behavior
