One third of Senators every 2 years for 6 year terms. So some come up in mid-terms others at presidential. It has some benefits as they are less short term thinking (unlike the house which I think is everyone every 2 years). However the fact every state gets 2 senators make the Wisconsin/Florida difference even more bullshit than the electoral college.
Would disagree there. Yes Biden has said that a UK trade deal would be put in jeopardy if we go back on the good Friday agreement. However the assumption that a Trump trade agreement would benefit the UK is optimistic at best. You can guarantee that a Trump trade deal will include a dismantling of the NHS, the government has already conceded the whole chlorinated chicken and ending UK farming subsidies. You'd see UK farmers go under as they are expected to follow regulations that US farmers won't have to. Our healthcare industry being sold off to the USA, probably have our arms industry gutted. Every time a UK government has pushed for large trade deals with the USA, the UK has come off worse and has seen our industries destroyed at the demand of the USA so they can instead export the same stuff to us. Don't for one second think a Trump government would have the UK interests at heart and don't think for one second the UK government would stand up to him.
Problem I see is you're suggesting Trump would be good for the UK. My view is that whoever wins it is bad for the U.K and it's a mess of our own making. The only difference is the Tories have backed Trump winning and if Biden wins it will severely weaken their negotiating hand with the E.U. Us little people are still ****** either way though.
But it would be several orders of magnitude better for the UK than a continued Trump presidency.
Ohio and PA strongly Trump, bookies seem to have him as favourite now
209 v 112 depending on where you look, its the bookies that worry me, they famously dont like loosing money, and Biden seems to be loosing the states everyone they sad he had to win before the election
It changes every few minutes as details come in. I can't stay up all night posting the updates, but since it's daytime where you are...go for it.
