As of 11:30am EST on November 7, 2020, the date of this post, the election is over.
The media has declared the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in favor of Joe Biden, and projected that he will be our next President.
In the days and weeks to come, the outgoing President will surely continue to subvert democracy and claim that there is no winner. Or worse, he will declare that he is the true winner because of abjectly merit less claims of fraud. The media must resist the temptation to continue giving him a platform to do so.
To an extent, however, his supporters are correct in their assertion that we do not yet have a President Elect. The Electoral College doesn’t meet until December, which is when the only votes that actually matter in a presidential election will be cast.
But the President has a moral obligation not to wait until December to concede this election. The healing process must begin. And the President needs to stop stabbing the patient.
