Hello, America.
Where do we go from here?
The Majority Leader finally acknowledges that Joe Biden is the next President of the United States. The Electoral College formally certified Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as the president and vice president.
It officially ends the noise from the far-right. It ends the noise from President Donald J. Trump.
He won’t stop bitching about losing the election. So we’re just going to move on.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the most hated lawmaker in the country is still the Majority Leader. He easily beat Democrat Amy McGrath in a blowout. Thanks to the noise of the far-left, McGrath was weakened going into the general. The far-left’s “Defund The Police” scared white folks and became a weapon against moderate Democrats competing in relatively Republican-leaning states and congressional districts.
His legal name is Addison Mitchell McConnell. He is married to his second wife, Elanie Chao, the current Transportation Secretary. Chao was previously the Labor Secretary of George W. Bush.
McConnell even smirked at the fact that thousands are dead from the coronavirus, millions are unemployed and facing eviction, and thousands are hungry. He won by double digits.
He is not liked among the Democrats. He is known as the Grim Reaper. He is known as the Turtle. He is known as the guy who famously stopped Barack Obama from picking his third Supreme Court nominee.
He is known as the guy who rammed through Donald J. Trump’s Supreme Court nominees.
Even the third nominee one week before the election.
So on the floor, McConnell addresses the name, “President-elect Joe Biden.”

| Trump vows to create chaos. That means undermining Biden and McConnell. |
"Our country has officially a president-elect and a vice president-elect," the Kentucky Republican said. "The Electoral College has spoken. So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden."
Biden and McConnell served together in the Senate for years and negotiated several deals when Biden was vice president and McConnell was the GOP leader during Barack Obama's presidency. They will have to work closely again next year given the narrow margins in the House and Senate and Biden's professed desire to work with Senate Republicans on confirming his Cabinet and passing legislation.
Biden on Tuesday told reporters he had spoken with McConnell and would meet with him soon.
On Tuesday, McConnell said Biden has "devoted himself to public service for many years" and congratulated Harris for becoming the first woman elected vice president. Harris later told ABC News that she applauded McConnell for speaking with Biden.
Trump got angry. Really angry. He said that McConnell ignored the 75 million Americans who voted for him. He also said that Republicans should stand with him or face the consequences.
Trump's allies slam Mitch McConnell for congratulating Biden https://t.co/ak9nu6420L via @MailOnline. Mitch, 75,000,000 VOTES, a record for a sitting President (by a lot). Too soon to give up. Republican Party must finally learn to fight. People are angry!

McConnell further broke with Trump on Tuesday during a call with Republican senators, warning the lawmakers against objecting to the presidential election results when they are delivered to a joint session of Congress for certification early next year. He also referred colleagues to his floor remarks recognizing Biden as the president-elect. A spokesperson for McConnell did not provide further comment.
Trump also promises chaos in the final weeks of his presidency. CNN reports that he may not leave the White House. Other outlets said that he may retreat to Mar-a-Largo in Florida and remain there. He may not appear at the inauguration.
Trump has hinted he will likely run again in 2024.
Trump will continue to be in the junk food media’s diet of disinformation, division, diversion and distraction.
