The big news today was the call by media outlets in the USA, based on vote counts announced in a few more states, that Donald Trump has been beaten by Joe Biden. Biden will become the 46th President of the USA.
There has been lots of rejoicing, probably summarized by this little picture:
There will be recounts and legal challenges, to be sure, but the outcome seems pretty clear. Biden will become President and the USA, but reconciliation with the nearly 50% of voters who supported Trump will not be easy.
Trump and his team have persisted in attempts to seed distrust in the election's outcome.
So, the analysis has already begun.
This article contends that all this election has done is to show us all what the "real" America is.
And this article from The Atlantic addresses the electoral divide and the difficulty both parties will have in coming to terms with the outcome.
Just one more thing in a year that has already had its share of "things".
