We are hearing a lot of religious rhetoric from Biden tonight, which isn’t a surprise — he’s a Catholic, as Clare mentioned, and he’s also made religion a much more central part of his campaign than many Democrats do. It’s interesting in the context of the Democratic Party’s changing demographics, though. The largest part of his religious coalition may end up being people with no religious affiliation at all. Given their strong support for Biden this year, though, I doubt many will mind!

Universal mask-wearing by the large Biden clan is a symbol of how he will lead differently on that issue.

I’ve been monitoring many of the “Stop the Steal” Facebook groups that have cropped up this week, which attract tens of thousands of users and are chock full of misinformation about unsupported claims of voter fraud, partly spurred by Trump’s claims in the same vein. It’s worth noting that a common theme in these groups are supporters saying they will not accept the election results until they “hear it from Trump.” Trump’s silence only allows the distrust to simmer.
