Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Some of the people in comments section  need to get a grip... So what if it has not been finalized yet. Or even if Trump wins... or Biden wins ... get freaking Grip... Just because Biden is a Democrat and Judith isn't, she can still congratulate the man FFS. I fear for the future of this country if this is how you react over a election that wasn't even yours...
