Biden's lead in the popular vote has now surpassed 6 million.

The former vice president has won nearly 80 million votes, which is more votes than any US presidential candidate in history by a considerable margin.

Here's their full statement:

Well how about that.

The guy basically takes no issue with nut jobs plotting to kidnap the governor of the state and the every day people who are responsible for the election won’t do his bidding for him?

Golly gee.

Stupid question, but if the president summons someone to appear at the White House, are they duty stricken to go?

I'd just tell him to f-off on the phone. But I guess that way, you don't at least get to find out what the bribe is.

They probably go for the free trip and dinner the Whitehouse serves.

Why would that quote even need to be debunked? Fox News would have barely been a blip on the radar in 1998.

“Donald, I’ll be in Washington on Jan. 20 for President Biden’s inauguration. Does that afternoon at 4 p.m. work for you if you haven’t been arrested yet?”

That’s what I’d say.

I wonder how different things would be down there if McCain had become the president and face of the Republican Party for a decade. Of course he would have views people would disagree with, but he generally struck me as a good person and appreciated diversity of opinion. Pretty much the opposite of Trump on a measure of character and decency.

Imagine how Trump would have handled this at one of his rallies:
