Jon Meacham, the presidential historian and biographer, wrote Biden's first speech as president-elect and has had a bigger behind-the-scenes role shaping his addresses than I (at least) had realized.https://t.co/KAgqQpNEAd

Meachem also just lost his MSNBC gig because he didn't disclose!

Feels like Meacham is being fired for formally doing what many others in media were informally doing https://t.co/QCgurJScYS

Dade County wassup?

I have barely scratched the surface on Miami-Dade, and await the final turnout list to do more analysis, but the collapse for Democrats wasn't just with Cubans. It was across all racial groups. Also, Biden's drop in northeast dade, a more Jewish area, is concerning #flapol pic.twitter.com/3WdmasRpsK

Biden run backgrounder from August or so still in my tabs - interesting to look back

Also, Politico's pre-election predictions, for next time someone tells you how awful the polls are. Pretty damn accurate assessment.

Amen:

Attacking your coalition allies immediately upon achieving an historic victory that saved democracy makes no sense.

We should all celebrate together the rejuvenating, collaborative effort of progressives, moderates and conservatives to defeat Donald Trump, focus on winning the two Georgia Senate seats, then engage in a spirited, good faith debate about the path forward to enhance our nation.

It was a miracle that happened. I marveled in awe at every single tweet I saw saying "I am a conservative and I am voting for Joe Biden" after paying close attention to what similar people did to Bill Clinton over eight years, the vitriol and hate for a moderate that handled the economy with intimate care among many other things he accomplished that they didn't disagree with.

I don't understand those who seem to have a desire to return to vitriolic partisanship right away as if they are addicted to it. Trump is going to cause serious transition troubles, the support of "frenemies" is still needed. In the meantime, people might find that they agree on some other things besides hatred of Trump.

Now I’m told that church

They are ringing church bells for America. In Germany. Might want to sit with that for a few minutes.

Church bells ringing in Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, all across the world. For America. For us, the American people. For hope. It gives me goosebumps & tears of joy. We're going to be OK. We can sleep tonight in peace. Our national nightmare is over. #futureisbright

Joe tweeted 5 hrs. ago that he believes part of his mandate is to work with the other side:

I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate.

That’s the choice I’ll make. And I call on the Congress — Democrats and Republicans alike — to make that choice with me.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 8, 2020

Backed up, repeated in many ways from different sources in this article, that he's been certain about that for a long time:

New tonight: HOW BIDEN WON

He told a close ally two winters ago that he feared for the country's soul

Top Dems feared that message would flop

But Biden trusted his instincts & built his candidacy to meet a national crisis@katieglueck @jmartNYT & me https://t.co/VoJ6U1QYcQ

took Bibi a real looooong time but he finally found the words to compose a tweet:

Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.

In reply to Van Jones on CNN:

Van Jones delivering a soliloquy while sobbing was one of the few payoffs in 3-4 days if CNN binge watching.

Clyburn describing/hinting how he pulled Biden out of the fire as he was going down in flames for the 3rd time in February was another. That bit about a black female VP? Only anecdotal, not for attribution. Glad it wasnt Mephistopheles he had to bargain with. Like with 2016's election.
