Donald Trump won because he offered a majority of Americans what they wanted: anger and drama, @RadioFreeTom writes in The Atlantic Daily. But those who expect that Trump will hurt others, and not them, are likely to be unpleasantly surprised. theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

Or: the simplest explanation. Voters thought he was too old. He could not convince even his own party that he was up to running the country when he was 86 years old, and chose to run again anyway.

The reckoning in Bidenworld, per sources, has been emerged among three schools of thought: - Biden could have won white working class vote - Obama ('16) and Pelosi ('24) are to blame for pushing him aside twice - Perhaps he was more deeply unpopular than anyone grasped

And this is why you actually prosecute ALL the crimes -- swiftly and thoroughly -- no matter who the criminal is.

Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance

The media this morning saying Dems need to have a reckoning. No, we don't. We can't be blamed because we expected Americans to be who they always claim they are. Democrats don't have a messaging problem. America has a racism problem.

I don’t even have the words for not having any words. We stick together. Breathe. Keep the patient comfortable. Feel like shit. Take care of the poor, each other and ourselves. Look around for all the light that remains and can never go out. Sending you all a big quavering hug.

Anyone blaming Harris or Walz today has utterly lost the plot & missed the point. This is fundamentally about America, toxic masculinity, & white supremacy. Blaming Harris would be part of that problem, not the solution. She deserves our thanks. Thank you, @vp @KamalaHarris

Pretty ironic the guy that mishandled COVID, tanked our economy & oversaw the deaths of 700,000 Americans is REWARDED while the Administration who saved our economy from ruin, vaccinated our country out of COVID gets blamed.

It’s actually the reverse, of course. The only way a convicted criminal, found liable for sexual abuse, who incited an armed insurrection could win again is because millions of Americans live in an information bubble and believe things that are manifestly and demonstrably untrue.

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth. Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that…

Cory Booker was just asked: "IF Kamala Harris goes on to win this election, and you have to point to one hero of the story, who or what would that be?" Booker said: "The patriotism of Joe Biden."

Yesterday, I knocked on doors in the bluest of all battleground state counties: Menominee. 82% for Biden. Former Menominee judge Macy Martin joined me; she knew almost every voter. This is a special place for me. My godmother Ada Deer led the fight to restore tribal recognition.

Elite journalists complained about Harris's lack of policy specifics. Then she rolled out two of the most exciting, novel policy ideas in ages -- her YIMBY housing-supply stuff & extending Medicare to cover in-home care -- & they didn't give a shit.

In Montana, @jontester has run a hell of an uphill race and has closed the gap on his mendacious MAGA opponent. He’s also has character, and the Senate needs more folks like him. Winning this seat is a big one in a red state.

I have seen this re-appear periodically on my feed for 5 years now. And now I am cautiously, naseausly, optimistic that it will come true this week and we will move beyond the hate, the divisiveness & the misogyny.

She's not going anywhere. She's going to be the VP. And then the first woman commander in chief. Write it down. #POTUSKamala
