Biden Supporters In Pennsylvania Look Ahead To A 'Traditional Presidency'

The election was close there — Biden won by just 1,424 votes, flipping the county back to Democrats — but the local board of elections praised the vote as being well-run and organized. And the seven-member board, made up of four Democrats and three Republicans, voted unanimously to approve the result and send it to the state.

"I'm walking on sunshine, man!" he says as he greets me in the lobby of the Booker T. Washington Community Center in Erie. We're both wearing masks. His has a message in big, bold letters stretched across his mouth. It reads:"VOTERS DECIDE."In September, Keys was working hard to turn out the African American vote in the city of Erie. Now he's quoting the lyric of that pop song from the 1980s, and he's full of optimism.

Another big hope for Keys is that there'll be investment in America's cities, to create jobs and to reform police departments. He says the issues raised by the killings of George Floyd and others must be addressed, and that he expects Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to be committed to that.

No one is president-elect until the electors have voted, or the opponent concedes.

LMAO

The Trump/GOP spent so much time attacking 'lefty socialists', they forgot about the silent majority that just wants honest, open and democratic governance where everybody can be included & work together for the good of all. McConnell and Trump manipulating everyone was too much.

It's not even traditional. What we saw with the Trump administration was incompetence, a complete lack of interest in governing the country for all Americans. Stop calling it traditional as if Trump was a President in more than title only.

In plain English: The 'swamp' is being cleaned up.

Get out of your comfort zone

Lol

So Yemen 2: Electric Boogaloo

At least when you turn on the news we won’t have to listen to the toddler in the White House whining and calling people names like a grammar school bully , and lying nonstop .

What millions everywhere hope.

Biden can’t unite this divided country until we address all the different groups that feel neglected such as middle class, working people, young people, progressives, and blacks.

Don't hold your breath.

Agree, let’s talk to people who refuse to wear masks and believe the election was ‘stolen’ and see how we can make things easier on them

Welp... good luck

Going to insult and harass every Joke Biden supporter I come across the next four years. No peace, not ever.

Lol 😂OK

Professional colonial capitalists. Can’t wait for assassinations and means tested social security!

Work on stimulation check now

NO unification with those scumbag Trump apologists-ever

dementia bruh.

F Biden and he’s loser supporters. I hope he fails. NeverBiden NotMyPresident

😂😂😂😂😂😂

We're not done, Georgia... Having a new President without ALSO having the Senate is like having a Lamborghini sitting in the driveway without the keys. 🚨 ossoff 🍑 🚨 ReverendWarnock 🍑🍑 🚨 GeorgiaRunoffs 🚨 LetsGo

This Erie resident can’t wait til January!!

It takes two to tango and right now he doesn't have a partner.

47Junia Joe Biden was born for this moment in life whether you like him or you hate him Joe Biden is the next president of the United States Not a Democrat but I voted for Joe Biden I damn sure will never be a Republican and never in my life would vote Republican

...idk. idk if returning to 'a traditional presidency' puts genie back in the bottle OR if it sets the stage for Trump2.0, because it seems like we HAD a 'traditional presidency' before and look what happened. The system's clearly broken; will going 'back the way it was' fix it?

Given the nature of these comments, I’m hard pressed to see unifying the nation happening easily or anytime soon

I like the way your sporting the double mask, great job. My family and I wear the double mask every time we head outside. Stay safe. 😎

Change your name to Office of Propaganda. Lets get back to truth in advertising.

Unify nation? Let’s review. Right-wing Joe Biden iced-out decent minded Progressives, courted far-right Republicans who still voted for racist Trump, & he’s putting big donor corrupted DNC corporatists in his fracking oily WH Cabinet to push unpopular regressive status quo. Nope!

47Junia

Well John Meachum wrote those words for Biden to say, so you never know.

Thank you DonGonyea and npr for interviewing Biden supporters and bringing us their stories. Finally. I am sick and tired of interviews of Trump/GOP supporters (for 5 years), their malice, vitriol and constant airing of grievances. Bring on the Biden era.

Tell them to stop voting for Republicans if they want a unified country.

Healing can't begin until eliminate the cancer of the GOP and their hateful racist sexist 'conservative' ideology. All GOP office holders and appointees, including judges, need to be investigated and prosecuted by the IRS DOJ and FTC.

Endless war shrouded in MSM fluff? Tokenism on social issues? Literally no tax reform? Which 'traditions' are his supporters looking most forward to?

Dear Pennsylvania, when you are freezing your backside off, Have no job, no cheap oil, because you are not fracking, and John Kerry says the new green deal will be 100 trillion dollars over the next 100 years, remember who you voted for.

MANA 🇺🇸 Make America Normal Again.

Just read the comments on Twitter concerning the White House Christmas Tree. Not one comment from a liberal reflecting healing and unity. Just hate.

They meant corrupt... AND NOW HAVE TO PAY ALL THE FAVORS INCLUDING CHINA

defundnpr

If the office of the president were to reflect traditional values, then would not Biden 'make America great again'? Biden's insurgent leftist insurrection exposed, his communist sympathies bare for all to see.

If you have family members who are Trump supporters, will trust ever be regained?

Delusional. What's traditional about reversible quantum computing? What's traditional about automated Smart Cities? What's traditional about globalism and transhumanism? Let the future be the future, and the past the past.

Sure is off to a piss - poor start if that's his goal

He’s already started division.

ResistBiden ResistObama Get rid of the evil!

So you spoke to all five supporters?

Its going to be a lot better then the last 4 years

Not one of us can rest, be happy, be at home, be at peace with ourselves, until we end hatred and division. —JohnLewis

Building back better means building with compassion & decency. We have to leave hate & division behind. Even those who betrayed our country. We will hold them accountable under the rule of law, in our judiciary. While the work moves forward. Remember GA runoffs! Vote Blue!

Biden is an evil cheater

Pennsylvania Certifies Biden as Winner, Driving Stake in Trump’s Legal EffortAuthorities in Pennsylvania put an official seal on President-elect Joe Biden’s victory there Tuesday—and rammed a stake through President Donald Trump’s attempts to resurrect his dreams of a second term through legal challenges.Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar finalized the result while Team Trump still had an appeal of its last federal court loss pending.| Today PAStateDept certified the results of the November 3 election in Pennsylvania for president and vice president of the United States. | | As required by federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.| | — Governor Tom Wolf (GovernorTomWolf) November 24, 2020Legal experts told The Daily Beast the Pennsylvania certification has likely rendered that suit moot. Gov. Tom Wolf announced he has now signed off on the panel of electors, who will cast their votes for Biden at the Electoral College next month. “It's a constitutional act, and once it takes place, it takes place—you can't undo it,” Stuart Gerson, a top Department of Justice official under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, said in an interview.Gerson said former Rudy Giuliani, who is heading the campaign’s nearly winless legal effort, and the rest of the its “elite strike force” of lawyers might yet unleash a few more zombie lawsuits on the judiciary.But he gave them small odds of success, given Saturday’s scathing ruling from U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann on the most recent suit in Pennsylvania—as well as a decision from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where the remaining challenge awaits action, on a separate Pennsylvania election case. Gerson intends to file a friend-of-the-court brief, urging the appeals bench to reject the Trump campaign’s request to “stay the effect of the certification,” a legally nebulous phrase.“The group of lawyers that has been representing the plaintiffs [the Trump campaign] has taken such unusual and shiftin Will that finally kill it, or will it suddenly sit up again like a zombie in last scene of a horror movie That's not a real office. What next for Donald Trump? I wonder if he'll accept any offers to go on talk shows? The thing is, a lot of these talk-show hosts will probably be lining up to have him on their shows so they can rip the piss out of him.
