Why this year's presidential campaign may already be over

Why this year's presidential campaign may already be over
Biden may win Texas, so it is not over in the way you think it is. There is still much to discuss. The Supreme Court may hand the pro-life movement its hat if it overturns Gee v. June and strikes down Louisiana's Trap Laws in a lopsided vote. If this happens, some prominent Catholic (not Biden or Pelosi), must explain how the pro-life movement is hand in glove with the GOP and explain the logic behind civil rights precedent (that overturning Roe overturns everything since Hernandez v. Texas (look it up).

The Trump decisions from last week have already been made. Whether they will be published before the data are released to congressional committees and the grand jury is a question for the lawyers, but it may lead to Trump's exit. If this happens, abortion becomes a huge question in the Midwest.

Nothing is settled. The CNN poll is designed to make it look like there is still a race. It's good for ratings. Neither party minds, because turnout in settled elections is hard to predict (as we found out in 2016).
