Become the 46th president of the United States. Full stop. That aint changing. But between now and that wednesday in january, ten weeks from tonight, donald trump and his republican babysitters are doing their best to terrorize the American People by fueling false fears about the validity of the election.

Biden leads trump in five pivotal states by a total margin of roughly 260,000 votes. The race is not, let me repeat, not close. Nothing will change that fact.

Friday saw the highest day of new cases to date. More than 195,000. And more than 80,000 americans are in the hospital heading into the thanksgiving holiday week. America struggles. President trump is seemingly ignoring this crisis, focusing instead on trying to overturn the president ial Election Results. And today, skipping a virtual g20 summit session on the pandemic to play golf. This as weve also learned the virus has once again infiltrated the president s inner circle.

Extra security including the National Guard are mobilized to try to keep the peace during the demonstrations but already we have seen some arrests. Thats stunning that were seeing this in this country and all of this political turmoil coming as the United States is setting yet another grim record now. Logging more than 3,700 deaths from covid19.
