What I’ll Be Watching

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
