Because no one seems to ever ask similar of Biden or Harris if they would concede if they lose. Even though some leaders and TV analysts have publicly counseled Biden not to concede the election under any circumstance.

Which tv analysts?
I would say from what I’ve seen that it hasn’t seemed necessary to ask Biden that same question because he’s never intimated that he wouldn’t uphold the protocol of the democratic process.

There only one guy chipping away at a fair election and a fair outcome and he’s not hiding it anymore.

If you don believe that, that’s fair enough, you’re in the good company of some really great people in the staunch unmoved 40%.

Kamala's a funny one because her record as a senator is as progressive as it gets. She's rated by an independent body as one of the top 10 leftiest senators based on votes, even being more progressive than Bernie thanks to Sanders boycotting anything he doesn't like because it's not left enough.

But as attorney general she was not particularly progressive.

So this is one of those things where the Republicans tried to have their cake and eat it and sent a lot of mixed messaging and they've really not managed to dent any enthusiasm for Harris at all.

Let me ask you, how many of those votes she voted for, actually made it through?

For the most part, it's pretty clever to jump onto a bill you know isn't going to succeed. That voting policy goes into the books and skews the actual type of politician you are.

How does a progressive looking to uphold the law in favour of the people not charge Stephen Mnuchin for his bending of the law and why accept a sizeable donation into her funds for that mercy? And taking her policies into account as stated by Pence,

I find her a calculating, flip-flopping, untrustworthy person, nevermind, politician.

He wasn't asked the direct question, but I'll concede he answered "yes" he'll accept when all the votes are counted.

Which is a slick answer. But a fair enough Yes.

Sounds like an unequivocal yes to me.
Too right, all votes should be counted.
Slick, you say.
I’d say that if Trump hadn’t been so slippy and slimy about trying to disqualify such large swathes of votes he wouldn’t need to mention it.

Playing the long game?
 
Biden up to 85% odds in today's FiveThirtyEight forecast, which is really a crazy number these days. Not bad for such an obviously bad candidate.

This man has been a senator for nine years now. His voting record is pretty reprehensible too. We have some oddballs here in the UK as elected MPs but in the US, it seems rather extreme.
 
I'd missed this - I think that Wohl is a RWNJ who does love his social media vomiting:
Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl were each charged last week with one count of intimidating voters, one count of conspiracy to commit an election law violation, one count of using a computer to commit the crime of intimidating voters and using a computer to commit the crime of conspiracy. The first two charges each carry a maximum of five years in prison and the latter two charges carry a maximum of seven years in prison.

‘New England journal of medicine‘ has kept out of politics since its inception over 200 years ago. They just came out and blasted the current administration over its handling of Covid and urged people to vote them out.
pretty incredible.

As @Dax777 says it's just unfortunate that Trump will be remembered for how he handled Covid.
 
Trump got in last time based on the celebrity appeal and being seen as different to your average politician- voters went for the entertainment option. They got it... But they also got one of the worst despicable fat racist thick presidents of all time - so they won’t be making that mistake again. Biden’s got this and it will finally give the World a bit of light in what’s been a very dark year.
