Excitement For Biden Diminishes As Political Divide In America Grows Larger

Via America’s Lawyer: The electoral college has officially voted to affirm president-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

Plus, how exactly can Biden and his administration unify such a deeply divided electorate? And will Trump and his family remain a mainstay in the media?

Joe Biden is now officially the nation's president elect as the electoral college this week certified his final tally of 306 electoral votes. But president Trump, well, he's still holding on and he's still holding ground refusing to concede and insisting that he was a victim of widespread voter fraud. Media analyst David Lamb always gets it right. Give me your take on it, David.

It does not appear that, regardless of, of the court, whoever says anything Trump has not given up. I think that is clear. What is kind of interesting is some of the numbers we're getting, a poll taking, so nationally 62% of the United States believes the election is over. Okay.

Thank goodness.

Reasonable, reasonable folks. Okay. That is 95% of Democrats, 67% of, of independents, yet less than a quarter of Republicans believe, or trust the outcome of the election.

Yeah, this is the danger of tribalism, whether it's Democrat tribalism, or whether it's Republican tribalism, tribalism is destructive to democracy.

No doubt.

We see it on this show all the time. We'd talk about Democrats who do wrong, and, oh my God, you would think that we have created some type of felony, right in front of a camera because of the tribalism. It's, it's stupidity.

Yeah.

It's just absolute, utter stupidity on both sides.

No doubt.

I'd like to show you some comments sometimes from the Democrat tribe, just like the Republican tribe. So there's so much talk of Trump posturing for 2024 run. In the media business, we're hoping he does. It's great material. What's your take on it.

Well, he's raising hundreds of millions of dollars, you know, his, his campaign and, and, and a pac that he has set up is raising a ton of money to contest the election. They're not spending any of that yet, but they're raising a bunch of it. A poll taken of do you want Trump to run again, nationally, no. Okay. 60% plus do not want Trump to run again, but 76% of Republicans believe that he will run in 2024. And if he does a poll taken of, so these are just Republicans, all right. Who would you vote for in 2024? Trump does the best. That's no surprise, 52%. Pence though, surprisingly comes, he's second with 45%, followed by Ted Cruz, Don Jr., Nikki Haley. I wonder if that is why Mike Pence is relatively quiet right now and through this process.

But, but look. With Pence, I've always wanted to put a mirror under his nose and see if there's condensation. Because I, I don't sometimes I wonder is the guy alive.

Yeah.

Now, whether he can poll, maybe he can pull on something that I'm not seeing. Ted Cruz probably is going to be the voice of the next run, whether he wins or not, he's going to be the person that sets those standards. But you know, we're hoping, we're hoping Trump's going to win. There's another part of this though.

Okay.

Trump is raising money for something else. He understands his fights with the media.

Right.

He hates the media.

He does.

He wants to create his own media infrastructure.

Right.

My prediction is Donald Jr. as you know, is already out running, raising money for this.

He is.

That's going to be what he concentrates on in the next four years. That's my.

You think Don senior concentrates on Don Jr. and his candidacy?

Yes. Yes. Yes. And they do that by building a media empire, much like Fox.
