An anchor with Donald Trump's new cable network of choice finally declared Joe Biden the winner of the election on Monday, having appeased the president by holding out until the end.Biden's victory was confirmed by the electoral college on Monday, with electors from every state gathering to cast their votes.As the process was broadcast, Newsmax anchor John Bachman for the first time called Biden president-elect.'The electoral college votes are being cast today, here is video from four states, New York, New Hampshire, Arizona, and Illinois, all certifying the election for President-elect Joe Biden,' said Bachman.
I had to do a double-take: Who is that alongside Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) in his “Georgia Reloaded” ad? Is that who I think it is? Here’s a closer look. Guys…guys.
That’s Marcus freakin’ Luttrell.
The Lone Survivor. The former SEAL. The man who literally never quits. Dan Crenshaw and Marcus Luttrell, both Texans, are banding together to save Republican control of the Senate in the upcoming Georgia runoffs. It means something, or at least it should, to have two young, bona fide American war heroes and Purple Heart recipients stepping up to campaign despite not being on the ballot.
Luttrell doesn’t usually do politics
President-elect Joe Biden delivered an angry, partisan speech Monday evening upon being voted the winner of the 2020 election by the Electoral College.Biden did not just acknowledge victory; he taunted his defeated opponent, President Donald Trump. Rather than celebrate the result and reach out to Trump and his supporters, Biden — coughing up phlegm throughout his speech — attempted to rub salt in the wound, continuing to argue the case after he had already won it.Biden seemed annoyed that Trump had contested the results at all. He has no right to be offended.Biden was one of the Obama administration officials who “unmasked” Michael Flynn,

Barack Obama trolled President Trump over the “birther” issue during an appearance on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah on Monday evening.Back in 2007 Hillary Clinton and her campaign circulated a memo promoting Barack Obama’s “lack of American roots” and reportedly began the “birther controversy.”“[Barack Obama’s] roots to American values and culture are at best limited,” the memo says. “I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and values.”
WILMINGTON, Del. — President-elect Joe Biden told Americans on Monday that "democracy prevailed" as electors nationwide cast votes affirming his victory in last month's election, saying the country's governing principles withstood being "pushed, tested, threatened" by repeated, baseless claims of fraud championed by President Donald Trump. In a speech from his longtime home of Wilmington, Delaware, Biden aimed to guide Americans past the tumult of the campaign and Trump’s refusal to accept defeat. “If anyone didn’t know it before, we know it now. What beats deep in the hearts of the American people is this: democracy,” Biden said. “The right to be heard.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden on Monday gave his most scathing indictment yet of the attempts by President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn November's election, hours after the Electoral College officially sealed Biden's victory.
Biden called the president's election, which Trump and his supporters have attempted to overturn with scores of failed legal challenges, "honest, free and fair." And he called the attacks on the election and election officials "simply unconscionable" and Trump's attempts to overturn the election an "abuse of power."
"In America, politicians don’t take power — the people grant it to them," he said. "The flame of democracy was lit in this nation
NEW YORK -- Governor Andrew Cuomo warned that if the state's coronavirus positivity doesn't change, a shutdown could be necessary.

The governor mentioned the criticism he's getting for shutting down indoor dining in New York City and said actually, businesses should be happy. "You should be happy, because if we don't change the trajectory we're going to go to shut down and then your
WASHINGTON – The Electoral College has spoken, but don't expect Donald Trump to stop complaining about the election.
Far from conceding, Trump and aides served notice Monday the Electoral College vote for Joe Biden will not silence their protests, no matter that they have no chance of reversing his loss to the president-elect.
"WOW," Trump tweeted at one point during the Electoral College vote, echoing a false claim that a report "shows massive fraud" in the election.

WASHINGTON – The Electoral College elected Joe Biden as the next president Monday, formalizing the former Democratic vice president's win in the Nov. 3 election as President Donald Trump continues a long-shot effort to try to overturn the outcome. Around 5:30 p.m. EST, California's 55 electors cast their ballots to push Biden over the 270-vote threshold needed to win.
Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, the vice president-elect, received 306 electoral votes overall, topping Trump’s 232 votes. Next, the electoral votes will be counted at a special joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 before Biden and Harris are inaugurated Jan. 20.
Republican electors in four states said on Dec. 14 that they would cast their procedural votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the latest update contesting the results of the 2020 election.
Republican electors in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona all said they voted for Trump. It comes as their states formally appointed Democratic electors who voted for Democrat Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).
In Michigan, two separate slates of electors were cast: 16 for Trump and 16 for Biden.
“Sending more than one slate of electors is not unheard of,” said Meshawn Maddock, Michigan Republican at-large national elector in an emailed release.

Lansing — It's official. Michigan's 16 presidential electors cast their ballots Monday afternoon in the state Capitol for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris following a bitterly contentious election process.
As the electors convened and organized, at least half a dozen Republicans attempted to enter the Capitol building as the Democratic electors were casting their votes inside. They said they were GOP electors there to cast their vote for president. Michigan State Police officers denied them entrance. Ninety-six-year-old Michael Kerwin of Detroit made the formal nomination of Biden for the office of president.
In the wake of the social justice movement and George Floyd protests, several US religious groups have declared they will devote millions to racism-related reparations, particularly among long-established Protestant churches that were active in the era of slavery. Many of these churches are now weighing how to make amends through financial investments and long-term programs benefiting African Americans. Among them are the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, which acknowledges that its first bishop in 1859 was a slaveholder, and a New York City Episcopal church, which erected a plaque noting the building's creation in 1810 was made possible by wealth resulting from slavery.

Donald Trump doesn’t need to run for president again. He just needs everyone to think he is.
The president’s recent discussions with those around him reveal that he sees his White House comeback deliberations as a way to earn the commodity he needs most after leaving office: attention. The president has spent days calling a dozen or more allies to ask what they think he needs to do over the next two years to “stay part of the conversation,” according to two people, including one who spoke to the president.

Certain gene variants are linked to severe coronavirus infections, according to a team of scientists in Europe who studied the genomes of 2,200 critically ill covid-19 patients. Their results provide robust support that genetic makeup plays a role in the potentially fatal illness experienced by some people infected by the coronavirus.
