Still thinking it's Donald himself for 2024. Had a fleeting thought that he might be bankrupt by then but fat chance, even if he can't escape his creditors I'm sure Putin will bail him out.
I think it's gonna be Don Jnr. He's been presenting himself as the heir apparent with his tweeting and his lib-owning books, plus he's been acting as the Cheeto's surrogate on news and press appearances. Ivanka's actually been awfully quiet this election - I suspect she prefers being the power behind the throne to being the brash out front lib-owner.
I don't see Don Snr coming back in 2024. He'll be much more likely to retire to a media empire, still claiming he was robbed, rather than put the fragile ego out there again after losing.

Don't say those things man. Not now.

You think he wouldn't enjoy being a LOSER?
You may be right. I think Snr is the one with the big, vote-attracting personality, but then I have studiously avoided paying any attention to his progeny so I have little to go on, in all honesty.

And on that note, the last of the rural counties have come in from Nevada and Biden has actually expanded his lead to 11k. All that's left there is the area around Las Vegas, which has been coming back solidly democrat so far.
Interesting note - it leaves Fox et al with a fun conundrum. Cause Nevada's likely to get called for Biden imminently and, with them having called Arizona, that means they have to call Biden the winner. However, Arizona's still in play - it's not massively likely to go back to Trump, but it's far from a sure thing. So, do they stick with their confidence in their original decision to give Arizona to Biden and call him the President-Elect, do they recant their call on Arizona, or do they just avoid talking about Nevada until more Arizona votes come in?

Pennsylvania reckons they'll have an answer tonight. Biden is 100k behind, but there are 550k ballots remaining to be counted, mostly mail-in and from cities. Biden now needs under 60% of the remaining votes. I'm not sure the answer tonight is going to make Trump happy.
I'm starting to believe.

Stop it. It’s the hope that kills.
Georgia looks like Trump will just about hold on to me.
And Georgia is the most important as that’s where those senate races are...

Hopefully he can hang onto Arizona too and really make it conclusive.

What form will the next stage in evolution of the angry ignorant conspiracy-centric fuckhead American politician take? A white Mothra? Maybe a regressed semi amphibious sexually deviant evangelical?

To be fair, another potential answer is Sarah Palin.

The difference in Pennsylvania is now 90k with 7% of the votes left to tally. This is looking promising if this ratio continues.
Georgia is about 12.5 k votes and whilst that is decreasing, I don’t think it’s going to drop fast enough.

He's apparently walking all the way to the Whitehouse briefing room, thus the delayed start. And it's not a concession speech, it's the above and also the polls were wrong, the Senate and Congress has gone better than people thought (possibly he'll still take a swipe at some of those GOP politicians for not supporting him strongly in public when it comes to his election), and that the news including Fox is mean to him and shouldn't have called Arizona. It being the briefing room questions will be asked, nobody knows if he'll stay to answer them

Well played MSNBC. Cut Trump off about 35 seconds into his speech, emphasised that what he was saying was complete garbage, moved onto a different interview. It's what all of them should be doing.
