Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

The contrast with Trump’s “American carnage” speech couldn’t have been starker. This was pure feel-good optimism. I’m not sure how much it changes the soul of America, which is still deeply torn, but it sure felt uplifting for one night.

Every presidential election is historic, but this one perhaps especially so. The first female vice president. The end of one of the most tumultuous administrations in American history. But despite today’s events, the future is not rosy for Democrats. Biden will have real trouble enacting any kind of legislative agenda if Democrats don’t win two runoff elections for Senate in Georgia in January. And Republicans did well in state-level elections that control redistricting, enabling them to draw favorable House and state legislature maps for the next decade.

This speech really set a tone and represented a major shift from the rhetoric we’ve gotten from Trump for the last four years. Even though we’ve heard similar thoughts from Biden throughout the campaign, it’s obviously different when he is president-elect and giving a glimpse of what we can expect for the next four years. What a shift we have ahead.
