Ah well, hope Erica Smith runs for Burr's seat next go around, but I don't know who the Republicans will put up for it.

Also hope I never have to see Cunningham's slimy face again after the utter embarrassment he's been.

Tbh seeing that what he did is a big no no in the military he probably would have had to resign from the senate if he did win


At least then there would still be a Dem in his seat. We don't even get that reconciliation. He botched what should've been an easy race for him by cheating on his wife with a woman who just wanted to cause a scandal.

He's a joke. A bad one, but a joke.

Biden currently has a 3 million lead in the popular vote. Trump is not taking it. Literally no chance of that. He might be able to win the EC but that seems like a slim chance at the moment.

I mean, yeah. The DNC only backed Cunningham because higher profile Dems looked at the race and said "No, thanks." Either way, looks like the ballpark to win is about .1%, so it doesn't seem impossible.
