Harris still 200K behind in both Georgia and North Carolina and they are creeping closer to 100% reporting. ---

Texas Senate race officially called for Cruz. In addition to the Presidential race, it looks all but certain Republicans will have a Senate majority. ---

I think you are all way too pessimistic on Harris. It is playing out just as predicted, neck and neck. ---

> [@Happy\_Fun\_Ball](#): > > I think you are all way too pessimistic on Harris. It is playing out just as predicted, neck and neck. Yeah, but I’d like to see a tighter EV race, if we’re going neck and neck. I know we still have CA, WA, and OR to go, which I’m pretty sure will go Harris, but I’d like Trump to see that his current EV lead isn’t all that. ---

According to CNN, both AZ & NM flipped to a Harris lead. Still worried about GA & NC. Even if Harris wins one or both, it will be close enough for lawsuits and recounts. ---
