@tersenurse Thump is convicted in multiple courts but appeals are still ongoing on election night. Biden's health has deteriorated as the campaign has gone on and he was briefly hospitalized the month before the election. A third party candidate takes 28% of the popular vote nationally but fails to win any electoral college votes. Biden wins the election night count, with Trumps name not appearing on 4 blue state ballots. GOP controlled house uses that as a pretext to to refuse to certify the votes from those states and elect Trump as president with only 36% of the national popular vote.
