No new developments today to speak of with respect to vote tabulation in the Presidential election. By this point Nevada has been called for Biden, putting him at 279-214. Georgia and Arizona remain uncalled but with narrow Biden leads; North Carolina and Alaska remain uncalled but with larger Trump leads.

The main story at this point is how Biden is attempting to get on with the business of the Presidential transition, even though Trump has not conceded and there is relatively little Republican pressure at this point on Trump to concede. I believe that only 4 Republican Senators have publicly congratulated Biden, and they’re the four you might expect – moderates Collins and Murkowski; Romney, the only Senator who’d voted to impeach Trump; and Sasse, who until now had allowed the fact that he was up for re-election in 2020 to temper his innate ‘never Trump’ views.

Today Biden announced the membership of his new task force relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Trump appointee who heads the General Services Administration “is refusing to sign paperwork that releases Biden’s $6.3 million share of nearly $10 million in transition resources and gives his team access to agency officials and information,” and per the Washington Post other government agencies are using the GSA’s inaction to justify not commencing the process of liaising with Biden’s transition teams.

Both Georgia Senators today demanded the resignation of Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, although it’s not really clear what they think he has done wrong. His response was “that’s not going to happen.”

Trump’s Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, basically accused the Democrats of “welcoming election fraud and welcoming illegal voting” in a press conference today. That sentence caused Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto to immediately interrupt his network’s coverage of the press conference, saying “Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”

Oh, and Trump twitter-fired Defense Secretary Esper today.

So, yeah, just normal post-election stuff.
