āItās not just that he eats cheeseburgers at a big celebratory dinner. Itās not just that he does things that the common man can kind of appreciate. And itās not even because he uses kind of simplistic languageāhe doesnāt use complicated, wonky language, the way a lot of Democrats do,ā Slotkin said. āWe sometimes make people feel like they arenāt conscientious enough. They arenāt thoughtful enough. They arenāt āwokeā enough. They arenāt smart enough or educated enough to just understand whatās good for them. ā¦ Itās talking down to people. Itās alienating them. And thereās just certain voters who feel so distant from the political processāitās not their life, itās not their world. They hate it. They donāt like all that politics stuff. Trump speaks to them, because he includes them.ā
āI remember, long before, literally, Donald Trump was even a twinkle in our eye, the way that people in my life here couldnāt stand political correctness. And I think [this is] the same kind of sentiment,ā Slotkin explained. āBecause the political correctness is thinking youāre better than somebody elseāitās correcting someone. Now, I happen to believe that we live in a different era, and that we have to be better than we were in previous eras. ā¦ But people do feel looked down upon.ā

READ: GSA letter to Biden stating that transition can formally begin | CNN Politics
The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to begin the formal transition process, according to a letter from GSA Administrator Emily Murphy sent Monday afternoon and obtained by CNN.
Impressive, for both Biden and Trump. Biden becomes the first candidate in American election history to get over 80 million votes, and Trump gets almost 74 million, the most ever for a losing candidate.
As Donald Trump refuses to concede and accept the results of the 2020 election, President-elect Joe Bidenās total tally of votes surpassed 80 million on Tuesday, the most ever cast for a presidential candidate in United States history, with Biden capturing a historically significant 51% of the countryās popular vote.
The previous all-time record of 69,498,516 was set by Barack Obama (with Biden as his running mate) in 2008.
Trumpās vote total of 73,878,907 is the most ever for a Republican candidate, as well as the most ever for a presidential loser.
Bidenās total will continue to rise as the remainder of the country's votes are tabulated (less than 85% of votes cast in New York have been counted as of Tuesday morning).

KEY FACTS
A total of 80,033,996 ballots have been cast for Biden, according to Cook Political Report data.The previous all-time record of 69,498,516 was set by Barack Obama (with Biden as his running mate) in 2008.
Trumpās vote total of 73,878,907 is the most ever for a Republican candidate, as well as the most ever for a presidential loser.
Bidenās total will continue to rise as the remainder of the country's votes are tabulated (less than 85% of votes cast in New York have been counted as of Tuesday morning).
SURPRISING FACT:
Biden is the first presidential challenger to capture more than 50% of the popular vote while running against an incumbent since Franklin Delano Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.KEY BACKGROUND:
Despite losing, Trump also benefited from a remarkably engaged electorate in 2020. (In the process, Trump became the first president since Benjamin Harrison in 1892 to lose the popular vote twice in successive election cycles.) Nonetheless, Bidenās margin of victory is decisive. Bidenās leads in raw numbers (6.2 million) and the percentage of the popular vote (3.9%) are both larger than those of Obamaās victory over Mitt Romney in 2012. This is notable because Trump previously described Romney's loss as a āslaughtering,ā declaring that āRomney lost so badly.ā Biden is also on pace to secure 306 electoral votes. When Trump had the same number of electoral votes in 2016, he referred to the results as a ālandslide,ā a āblowoutā and a āhistoricā victory.TANGENT:
The 2020 election marks the seventh time in the last eight presidential elections that the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote (1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012 and 2016). Itās the first time in history either party, Democrats or Republicans, can make that claim.CRITICAL QUOTE:
āItās just a lot of noise going on because Donald Trump is a bull who carries his own china shop with him,ā Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University, told the Associated Press. āOnce the noise recedes, itās going to be clear that Biden won a very convincing victory.ā

Nah, my day was made this morning. I'm indifferent on US politics. Biden is going to have to work his ass off to keep the US on top and I have doubts he can work past noon without dozing off and taking naps.
Oh he has a monumental task ahead of him for sure, especially with Trump's base as strong as it is. Will Trumpism shadow over Washington for some time? Who knows. Joe is known for working across the aisle, we'll see what he can do. If I'm correct, I believe I heard today that he was even considering at least one Republican appointee to his team. Haha on the naps, I think he'll manage to stay awake.

I thought it was reported that Trump would never leave the Whitehouse unless the Military forcefully removes him?
