AOC would be eligible to run in 2024 as "candidates must be 35 years old to take office as president". So she would turn 35 by the time of the voting and definitely the inauguration day in early 2025.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (would she not still be too young?)

She'll turn 35 in October 2024, but I'm assuming she wouldn't be able to run until she actually turns 35? #AOC2028

 

edit: ah Pavel :lol: hopefully, wouldn't surprise me if Republicans tried to block it somehow though x

Michigan is basically tied with a third of Detroit's main county still to report, and Wisconsin has Biden ahead with 97% of the votes reporting, if both of those hold and Nevada comes through, that's 270. It's not looking good for Trump now.

Literally just woke up after having a dream that after staying up all night I checked the results and Trump had won the election with 301 electoral votes. I'm glad to see that dream isn't a reality yet!

 

 

Joe Biden still in a good position to win but chaos is guaranteed now whatever happens.

I don't want to jinx it, but looking at where is left to report in both Michigan and Wisconsin surely Biden has those sewn up now?

 

And Pennsylvania could swing to Biden too - there are some hefty Democrat leaning areas of the state left to report results.

I somehow thought the age limit was early 40s for some reason! #AOC2024 indeed then

Republicans in 2020: Biden is too old and senile!!!

 

Republicans in 2024: AOC is too young and inexperienced!!

 

I can picture it already...

I am also wary of jinxing it but this looks as good as over now, I really don't see how Trump ends up winning either Wisconsin or Michigan now (although ffs @ how close especially the former is). His only small chance is if he somehow sneaks by in Nevada but the remaining vote there is likely to be good for Biden as well anyway (and even so, Biden still has a good chance of winning Pennsylvania and/or Georgia as well).

 

Betting markets have shifted very firmly in Biden's favour as well so I think it's ok to be confident now... maybe. x

I don't see any sign that either Pennsylvania or Nevada won't give Biden the same sort of advantage that Michigan made up over the last few hours, Nevada's fairly evenly split in its missing votes so more will be in Vegas. Georgia still looking fairly good too.

 

Would be VERY nice to not have to rely on Pennsylvania or Georgia though. And if WI or MI fail at the last second (fairly confident MI won't at this stage though) that'll make it much more nervy.

It was weird that Donald Trump suddenly became the bookmakers favourite in the early hours of the morning. Who would have been placing bets at that time of night to change the odds?

Biden has to get to 270 and fast.

Joe as low as 1/4!! :wub:

I put £100 on Joe winning yesterday @ 4/7. I have a cash out option of £109.58. Not sure if I should take it or just hang on. :cheeseblock:

I still believe Biden can win it.

Michigan just turned blue!!

Things are definitely looking good - he’s just gone ahead in Michigan and is ahead in Wisconsin too. Nevada is fairly safe at this stage (though worrying it was as close as it is) and with Arizona and NE2 Biden gets to 270.

As exciting as a blue wave would be, we just need trump out of f***ing power so it doesn’t matter how many electoral college votes Biden gets as long as it’s at least 270. If he hits 270 then this was a success for the Dems. At its core this election was about nothing more than ridding the world of evil

Come thru Biden :cheeseblock:

So basically if all the states that are now blue stay blue he's won it so lets hope they stay that way!
