Imagine also being down by 8 points, and demanding the game be stopped and declaring yourself the winner.

Joe has been with planning with his team for months in anticipation of Trump's lawsuits. It also helps that Biden and Mitch McConnell have a lengthy working relationship. That is bad news for Trump when Mitch would be willing to negotiate with Biden in terms of Biden's selection of people for his cabinet.

-from the article:

The Biden campaign took note of President Donald Trump's dire tone in the White House on Thursday night and began a plan that is underway today to get his old allies in the Senate -- and others from a lifetime in public life -- to speak to the legitimacy of the election.

His campaign also made clear that a Trump concession is not necessary. "The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House," Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement Friday morning.
Biden does not plan to wait for any of Trump's legal challenges to be settled, a person familiar with the plan said, and intends to immediately shift into mode of President-elect to avoid ceding any momentum.

The Biden transition team has been working behind-the-scenes for months -- as required of all candidates seeking the presidency -- but the urgency of the plan is being seen by Biden advisers as even more importance in the wake of Trump's questioning the legitimacy of the election.

One of the most important conversations Biden will have is with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

The two men have not spoken yet -- a Biden aide said that would be premature; a McConnell adviser said it hasn't happened -- but they expect that call to be made later Friday.

The Kentucky Republican will play a key role in approving members of the Biden Cabinet if Republicans continue to hold their majority -- which even Democrats concede is likely, with party control potentially hinging on two January 5 runoffs for Senate seats in Georgia.

Biden and McConnell have a long relationship, serving together in the Senate for decades, but also working closely and cutting deals during former President Barack Obama's administration

One thing I am curious to see how it plays out, is what happens to the far right Trump supporters.

I listened to a podcast that said Trump is a RESULT, and not the cause, of the underlying frustration of this white male republican base, and that the sentiment had been brewing underground for years.

It could get even more chaotic before it gets any better even with Trump gone.

The part that disgusts me it that party lines are carved in stone for some people, no matter how the actual platforms affect them. People have created this political identity for themselves that lacks reasoning, like the jocks vs the punks.

I wonder why CNN and others have yet to call it... Pretty much 80% of the incoming votes in PA and GA are for Biden, which is why the sources I posted before going to sleep called it.

How much of it has to do with avoiding backlash from trumptards?

To be clear, as pointed out, not all of the 69 million people who voted for Trump are trumptards. I'd argue that most of them are to some degree. There are plenty of Republican voters who don't think past whatever perceptions they have, especially the wealthy white voters who care about nothing other than collecting more wealth, to hell with everyone else. Those people generally aren't trumptards, but they certainly empower them.
