BY 1.44pm Queensland time today (Wednesday) the New York Times was giving Donald J. Trump an 88% chance of winning the US presidential election. Conservative pollster Rich Baris was giving him 80%.
Trump was pushing ahead in the Democrat strongholds of Georgia and Pennsylvania and a glum-looking ABC election commentary team began raising hopes in an “extended count with an undecided outcome”. North Carolina was also heading Trump’s way.
Independent journalist John Solomon told Steve Bannon, back on deck after a Democrat lawfare operation that put him in jail for several months, that the anecdotal signs of a backlash against Kamala Harris started coming in from several eastern locations with reports of people driving around yelling f…you Kamala.
Maureen Bannon, reporting from the Trump just before 11pm US EST, said the long faces were beginning to appear among the mainstream media teams.
Sam Faddis, a former CIA clandestine operative, told Bannon there seemed to be a near 100% voter turnout in his precinct with two-hour wait-times before voting.
The key state of Michigan, lost by Trump under suspect circumstances in 2020, was going his way towards midnight USEST. Trump had declared that he wins Michigan he wins the election.
Another key state is Wisconsin, which Trump was leading by only 1.5 points at 11.30pm. Some 30,000 ballots will have to be recounted in the state due to an anomaly with ballot envelopes. Wisconsin is said to be the toughest of the seven swing seats.
Bannon described the Democratic Party as the party of tech billionaires and bitter leftist mainstream media as represented by Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell at MSNBC.
