A Viewer’s Guide to Election Night

There are many permutations of the U.S. presidential election — some messier than others.

Joe Biden’s lead in national polls suggests he has a number of paths to victory. If states like Florida or Georgia break for him early on, then the Trump campaign could be in for a long night.

The task for President Trump is to close those paths. If he can hold Florida and quickly add the likes of Arizona and North Carolina, then the signs could point to re-election.

And then there is a third scenario. If fast-counting states are too close to call immediately and battlegrounds in the Midwest take a long time to tally votes, then a long wait for a final result — and bitter, lengthy legal challenges — could be on the cards.

We speak to Alexander Burns, a national political correspondent for The Times, on the likely plotlines for election night.

Guest: Alexander Burns, a national political correspondent for The New York Times, walks us through possible election night scenarios.

In addition to our regular show on Election Day, The Daily is going LIVE tomorrow afternoon. Spend your Election Day with Michael Barbaro and Carolyn Ryan, deputy managing editor at The Times, as they call our correspondents for the latest on a history-making day.

The President, the Postal Service and the Election

The installation of Louis DeJoy as postmaster general has caused alarm. Since taking up the role in June, he has enacted a number of cuts to the Postal Service: ending overtime for workers, limiting how many runs they can make in a day, reassigning more than 20 executives and, from the perspective of the unions, speeding up the removal of mail-sorting machines.

The actions of Mr. DeJoy, a Republican megadonor and Trump ally, have been interpreted by many Democrats as an attempt to sabotage the election in concert with President Trump, who has himself admitted to wanting to limit funding that could help mail-in voting.

Today, we explore to what extent Mr. Trump is using the post office, and the postmaster general, to influence the election.

Guest: Luke Broadwater, a congressional reporter at The New York Times.

Background reading:

Postmaster General DeJoy has ushered in measures that, three months out from an election that is expected to rely heavily on mail-in voting, have caused widespread delays.
Amid warnings that changes to the agency may disenfranchise voters, Speaker Nancy Pelosi recalled the House from summer recess to vote on legislation blocking any further steps. Mr. DeJoy will testify before the Senate on Friday.
In response to mounting criticism, the Postal Service has suspended operational changes until after the election. It is unclear whether changes already in place will be reversed.

Another Day, Another Media Hoax (Ep 1324)

In this episode, I debunk the latest liberal media hoax about President Trump’s “war on the Post Office.” I also discuss the biggest fish yet to be prosecuted in the Spygate probe. Finally, I address my visit to NJ and NC to support business owners under attack. News Picks: Liberals are promoting another dopey conspiracy theory. This time about the Post Office. Taylor Swift has absolutely no idea what she’s talking about. Twitter attacks Trump’s tweets with insane “fact-checks” but why do they allot knowingly false Adam Schiff tweets to stay up? There’s a reason Democrats are so crazy about dumping the filibuster. A Democrat endorsed by Ilhan Omar screams profanities at white homeowners. Mollie Hemingway calls out the media for downplaying the FBI Spygate lawyer’s guilt plea. Here’s the GoFundMe for Atilis Gym. Please help. Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved.

The Democrats Get Caught in a Huge Lie (Ep 1314)

In this episode, I address the Democrats’ increasingly hostile attacks on the 2020 election along with their use of their media allies to promote debunked talking points. I discuss the mask debate and the “science” behind it. News Picks: More bad news on mask mandates. The media’s credibility is evaporating by the minute. Here’s what we know thus far about the Beirut explosion. Here’s the 2012 NY Times article I discussed in the show today where they address the problems with mail-in voting. Here’s the link to the Heritage Foundation’s extensive voter fraud database. NY is living a mail-in ballot disaster in live time. Iran humiliated itself but accidentally sinking a mock US air craft carrier and blocking an entrance to their port. Big economic numbers are set to drop right before the election.
