Who was the people who announced VP Biden was president elect?
Was there some official statement or what was the point at which this announcement was made?
-
@taiwan_girl I wondered the same thing. I think one of the major MSM announced it and it morphed like lightening from there.

I'm not disputing the ultimate result. However the official result won't be announced before 1) the states certify the results and 2) the electors vote in December.
This is what the media predict.

Some TV stations have made projections.
And then they agreed with each other.
The official statements will start to come in a few weeks.

I think you'll find Biden may throw Britain under the bus a lot faster than Trump.
Enjoy.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
Warning: I post things that interest me. Read and comment at your own discretion. -

Former SecDef Gates said that when it came to foreign policy, Biden was wrong almost 100% of the time?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

By Robert Gates himself:
While it is certainly fair to quote my criticisms of Joe Biden’s record on national security, fairness requires me to note for the record that those comments written in 2014 also noted that Mr. Biden was a man of genuine integrity and character. It is also worth noting that I wrote in these very pages that Donald Trump “is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief” (“Sizing Up the Next Commander-in-Chief,” op-ed, Sept. 17, 2016).

tl;dr version: Trump is an incompetent asshole, Biden is an incompetent nice man.

Presumably he saw them as incompetent because they both disagreed with him. I do hope we're not going back to thinking that the neo-cons had it right all along. One of the few things I liked about DJT was his reluctance to bomb the shit out of brown people.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

The difference there is that where Trump is uninformed, he remained stubbornly so (look at his handling of COVID-19, he actively worked against subject matter experts in his own administration). Biden does not suffer the same shortcoming. It makes a difference whether a leader is willing to listen to expert advise, even more so on subject matters that the leader himself is insufficiently informed.

Thank god we learned that we are simply divided and need to learn to co-exist and that the saturation of social media and other media was not just misplaced but wrong and not productive. Hopefully people will learn to think again for themselves and we can shun the troll like behavior and demonization.
I have very very close friends on both sides of the Trump/Never Trump aisles. TG said I was a Trump supporter which is clearly an impression I made on at least some. I would say if divided government was on the menu I would have been all in from the get go. If I had voted for Trump it would have been a protest vote against the Media, against social media and against far left ideas.
Having respect for people of all ideologies is significantly more than 5% CPU overhead in the past environment.
