So much for the shy Trump supporter

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

– State polls were a disaster and we’ll have to sort that out later. But for now, consider this: the national polling averages in 2020 said Joe Biden would win by 8 points. Based on projections about the final totals once all the slow counting in California is finally finished, Biden is likely to win by 5 points. That’s within the stated margin of error. The national polls weren’t wrong. So there is no “shy” Trump voter. There never was.

– When we look back on the final numbers – Biden getting more than 300 electoral votes and winning the popular vote by about seven million votes – we’re going to realize this was a blowout all along. It was never close. The results were just counted in weird order, that’s all.

– Tweet of the day, from Andrew Yang: “Even my 8 year old knows that when you lose a race it’s over.”
