What are the odds?

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.

– Some of you have asked me the odds of certain things happening, so here goes. The odds of the Republicans somehow winning the House majority based on the races that haven’t yet been called? Literally zero. The odds of Trump somehow overturning the election result? Literally zero. The odds of us winning the Georgia Senate runoffs? Probably 50-50, but it’ll depend on how quickly we stop wasting time fretting over Trump somehow magically stealing the election, and how quickly we turn our attention to winning the runoffs. As always, these things come down to us.

– Speaking of the Georgia runoffs, sign up to volunteer for the Warnock campaign here. Sign up to volunteer for the Ossoff campaign here. You don’t have to be in Georgia to help volunteer or phone bank. If you have more money than time, you can jointly donate to Ossoff and Warnock here.

– Tweet of the day from Valerie Jarrett, responding to the news that Joe Biden spend today talking with first responders while Donald Trump once again had no public events: “Someone is hiding in his basement, and it’s not Joe Biden.”
