3. Well, those predictions sure were botched

From the article:

· Joe Biden will become our 46th President by a comfortable margin, earning 351 electoral votes to 187 for Donald Trump. Trump will become the first incumbent to be defeated in his bid for reelection in 28 years, since Bill Clinton beat George H.W. Bush in 1992.

· Biden will have a Democratic Senate to work with, as the Democrats squeak out a 50-seat majority, with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over her former colleagues and able to break ties with a deciding vote as needed. But there will be two run-off elections in January that will each be very close.

· Not surprisingly, the Democrats will maintain control of the House of Representatives, adding 18 seats to extend their impressive majority to an overwhelming one, 251 to 184.
