Well the keyword here is "projected by the media" not official yet and there's still at least one recount, a court order in Pensylvania to be enacted so the final confirmation isn't until December when the states have to resolve the issues. This will run a bit longer.

@sheepdog  Biden needed 270 votes and is on 273. Trump is on 214. So I think the fat lady has sung for Trump...

Although I agree that Trump will ensure it isn't over.

I think there are more nail-biting days ahead of us until the 3rd week of January!

I had to laugh at this - it starts in the middle of a TV show, I hope the forum honours the start time parameter Youtube offers:

The GOP or the Tory party.. I can’t work out which is the bigger bunch of self serving hypocrites.
