The result won't be known today. It'll be days, maybe even a week or two before the result is fully known.
Some weird things going on.
Yes, and the weirdest thing is
mainstream economics is the reason why Trump is even competitive.
The dysfunctional economy is front and centre in this election.
Bidenomics was actually reasonably good for the US (it's the fastest growing G7 economy), under mainstream orthodoxy; but half the population is suffering under a cost of living crisis - hence the disappointment with the incumbent party.
I hope Trump wins, which will - after Trump's policies fail - will force the Left to grow some balls and introduce a wealth tax in order to decently fund vital government services (when Trump's policies fail).
But I don't think anyone is calling the election just now, despite the fact the TV talking-heads are discussing why Trump is doing as well as he appears to be doing.
