Joe Biden gets to work as president-elect while Trump refuses to concede Surge in youth voter turnout may have helped propel Biden to victory Republicans back Trump challenge to Biden election victory How do you feel? Share your reaction to the US election Sign up to receive First Thing – our daily briefing by email 10.27am GMT Sports and politics have always existed at a very public intersection in American life, but never was the illusory firewall keeping them apart more nakedly exposed than over the past four years. Donald Trump’s political alchemy has always relied on his uncanny skill at leveraging the fault lines that divide us. From the earliest days of his administration Trump has found fertile ground in taking this fight to America’s last unifying arena: co-opting US sports as not merely a proxy battle in the culture wars that reflect a country’s deep divides, but the primary theatre. He’s always recognized sports as an inextricable stripe of the American experience, but it wasn’t until a rally in Alabama nine months into his presidency that he first seized on what became his favorite fountainhead of easy political points.

They may well have doomed him 10.23am GMT Away from the election for a moment, beaches and coronavirus testing sites were closed, public transportation shut down and some evacuations in place early today after Tropical Storm Eta made landfall in the Florida Keys, bringing heavy rains to already flooded city streets Eta hit land late Sunday on Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida. The system’s slow speed and heavy rains posed an enormous threat to South Florida, an area already drenched from more than 14 inches (350 millimeters) of rain last month. Eta could dump an additional 6 to 12 inches (150 to 300 millimeters), forecasters said. FLASH FLOOD WARNING in effect for portions of Broward county. Water may rise quickly cutting off access to streets & neighborhoods.

He’s won 49.8% of the vote compared to Trump’s 49.1%. 9.57am GMT Here’s some of that Washington Post report that the Trump administration is not playing ball already when it comes to the peaceful transition of power to the Biden-Harris team: A Trump administration appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing Joe Biden’s transition team to formally begin its work this week, in another sign the incumbent president has not acknowledged Biden’s victory and could disrupt the transfer of power. The administrator of the General Services Administration, the low-profile agency in charge of federal buildings, has a little-known role when a new president is elected: to sign paperwork officially turning over millions of dollars, as well as give access to government officials, office space in agencies and equipment authorized for the taxpayer-funded transition teams of the winner. 9.54am GMT With one election barely behind us – and the final tally of Joe Biden’s victory still to be fully counted, we can already look ahead to the next – on 5 January in Georgia, when two run-offs give the Democrats hopes that they can flip the Senate. We’ve got a profile piece today on Stacey Abrams, who has been so vital to turning the state blue in the presidential election last week. Though it is poised for a recount, Georgia surprised America and the world when – on the basis of the first count –the Democrats outpolled the Republicans last week. If the result survives the recount then Joe Biden will become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia in 28 years.

Other hard–hit areas, however, are taking little to no action against a pandemic that has claimed more than 200,000 lives and sent the US economy into a tailspin.
