As he stares down defeat, Donald Trump sowed doubt in American democracy by questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. The president reiterated baseless claims during a Thursday night speech from the White House, accusing Democrats of trying to steal the election through fraudulent ballots. “If you count the legal votes I easily win,” he said. “If you […]
Donald Trump never made the typical promises to be a president for all Americans. The “us vs. them” divide might become all the more literal once the results of this election are finalized. Trump just lost Michigan, a state that he perhaps jokingly promised to never visit again if he lost the election there. “You […]
Though he hasn’t declared victory, Joe Biden remains comfortably optimistic about the final results. The Democratic nominee anticipated a win during a Wednesday speech from his home state of Delaware. Biden, who was joined by his running mate Kamala Harris, told viewers it was important that every count be voted to ensure the integrity of our election system. […]
Donald Trump was reportedly livid with Fox News on Tuesday night, after the conservative news network declared Joe Biden the winner of Arizona. Fox News was the first major outlet to make the call, as other networks have remained cautious about projecting Biden’s victory in the historically red state. Many members of the Trump campaign expressed criticism of Fox News’ […]
Part-time Trump troller John Legend strikes again. On Wednesday afternoon, the Grammy-winning artist mocked the president for “claiming” a series of victories in undecided battleground states. Trump tweeted: “We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which […]
GAP came through with a master class in failing to read the room on Wednesday. In a tweet that has since been deleted, whoever was operating the brand’s account dropped a trite message about unity alongside a clip of a blue-and-red hoodie zipping itself up. The hoodie itself, fittingly, was an eyesore. “The one thing […]
Sen. Bernie Sanders quite accurately predicted how the 2020 election would quickly become poisoned by a deeply depressing false narrative built on continued attempts at disparaging wholly valid mail-in ballots. During an interview with Jimmy Fallon in October, as many have since revisited amid the ongoing Trump-centered fuckery of the election, Sanders explained that the […]
While the 2020 election votes are still being counted, it’s safe to say Kanye West won’t be America’s next president. Joining the presidential race relatively late, Kanye failed to make it on a good portion of the ballots of many states. Across the 12 states in which he did appear on the ballot, the Guardian reports he […]
Biden‘s campaign said early Wednesday they had legal teams “standing by” should Trump, who falsely declared victory in the presidential election despite the race being quite obviously undecided, follow through on his threat to go to court in an effort to block the counting of votes. Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign manager, rightfully noted Trump’s “naked effort” to […]
Well, here we are. After a particularly grueling campaign cycle, Election Day in America has finally arrived. But with the pandemic still raging, a president intent on disrupting democratic norms, and the spectre of post-election violence looming large, Tuesday night promises to be unlike any other in the country’s electoral history. First, some good news. More than 100 million Americans […]
