I’ve decided not to watch any of the election coverage tomorrow, because nothing good will come of it, and the truly final results won’t be known, in all likelihood, until Wednesday. I will deal with the new reality once it is fully defined.
When I do come to terms with it, here are some of the less visible issues that will be of interest:
- WILL BIDEN’S PANDERS WORK? In particular, will young people who benefit from the student debt write-off show their appreciation by showing up and voting? I’m guessing not.
- WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE 2020 ELECTION DENIERS? WILL THEY WIN, AND WILL THEY CLAIM FRAUD IF THEY DON’T? This is a warm-up for the more serious crisis in 2024.
- BY HOW MUCH DOES DESANTIS WIN? He needs a crushing victory to set himself up as a viable 2024 presidential candidate. He’ll probably get it. If that sets up the GOP for a monumental Trump-DeSantis battle in the primaries, so much the better.
