Why Polling on The 2020 Presidential Election Missed the Mark
David Leonhardt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
As politics becomes a high-stakes spectator sport, pollsters are reviewing
their latest failures. But is part of the problem the public’s overly high
expectations of precision?

The Republican party was not properly evaluated.

Trump Stacks the Pentagon and Intel Agencies With Loyalists. To What End?
David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
So far, there is no evidence the appointees harbor a secret agenda or
arrived with an action plan. But their sudden appearance amounts to a purge
of the Pentagon’s top civilian hierarchy without recent precedent.
Trump has faith in force.

Here’s What Will Happen Between Election Day and Inauguration Day
Maggie Astor, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
President Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results have made the
arcane steps that formalize the will of the people a matter of unusual
public importance.
The steps to the transfer of office are automatic.

The West Proves Its Incapacity With Covid
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 5 hours ago
With rare exceptions like New Zealand, the Western response to Covid-19 has
been beyond pathetic. This isn’t a complicated problem. You do a lockdown
at the start, then ease when cases are essentially extinguished. You build
up track and trace, you put in support for businesses and for people who
have to isolate. You test […]
Denial only makes it worse if it was real.
The U.S. should "lock down" and apply relief.
A vaccine will not be a "Magic" fix.

James Poniewozik, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago

It is moved to pay per view.

The President’s Backup Band
Jacob Bernstein, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
Absent connections to the world of celebrity, Donald J. Trump minted his
own. His White House wasn’t Hollywood, but maybe that was the point.
The "band" will suffer a feeding frenzy.

Biden Names Ron Klain as White House Chief of Staff
Michael D. Shear, Katie Glueck, Maggie Haberman and Thomas Kaplan, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 20 hours ago

Biden gets his staff.

For Pence, the Future Is Tied to Trump as Much as the Present Is
Annie Karni and Michael S. Schmidt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 22 hours ago

Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
Senator Thom Tillis defeated Cal Cunningham after an expensive and
hard-fought race, which was scrambled in the final weeks by revelations

Politicians have no private lives.

Charlie Savage and Eric Schmitt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 day ago
President Trump’s new acting secretary of defense began a since-aborted
diplomatic gambit last month to negotiate with a Somali terrorist group —
