U.S. Presidential Election

[Cammers]

It always amazes me to see the contrast in coverage between UK and US coverage of politics. 

I almost feel like politics is spun as a kind of entertainment in the US. 

The (almost OTT) energy from American broadcasters is exhausting.

Biden is not doing as well in Miami, but Trump is a couple of points down in other counties from 2016. It bang on the Real Clear Politics average at the moment 

9% down in Miami after 85% votes in, bit of a concern. Wonder why Biden's tanking there compared to Clinton?

Watching ABC and it seems like Florida really is neck and neck.

fuck me the bbc and itv coverage is shit. If you’re finding this boring switch to a US channel.

Sky news showing Trump now ahead in Georgia

got sky, cnn and washington post feeds running, flipping audio as required.  I'm a major geek for this stuff, normally being up all night for elections is a bit of a solitary habit, so nice to see the number of people enthused by this.

I've got sky on but some eyebrows nearly caused me to switch off.

Yeah, but why more problematic for Biden than Clinton...can't work that one out!

This is the guy behind the Economist's election model.

Clinton wasn't part of the Obama administration though.

That's quite a heavy grudge. I guess that's what the Trump campaign ads successfully milked down that way then?

I feel like I am watching a Rocky film🤪

With panhandle votes about to come, I'm not sure the votes are still out there for Biden in Florida

Low population density though innit.

Loving the big blue of Texas and Ohio currently, won't last but enjoyable all the same.

Wow the coverage on CNN puts the other channels to shame, I’m gripped now!

[Zacko]

True, but i don't think there is enough vote left in the big counties for Biden especially with the Miami  issues.

Outperforming Clinton in Tallahassee and other cities/suburbs. Shaping up to be tight though.

It was a lovely sight, I'd never have considered Texas moving away from Trump, but Ohio is looking promising.

CNN have got it going on tonight, this guy is excellent.

[Matt42]

Omg Florida is so tight
