WPCNR GEORGIA RUNOFF REPORTER. By Stephen Rolandi January 2, 2020:
(Editor’s Note: Following Mr. Rolandi’s analysis of the Georgia runoff primary, this morning I asked him how President Biden can possibly work with a 51-49 Republican majority in the next congress. Mr. Rolandi replies:)
“While it would be a lot easier for President-elect Biden to have an outright majority in the Senate to get nominations, bills, etc. approved, he will still be able to get parts of his agenda passed.
I say this as he has a long standing personal relationship with Senator Leader Mitch McConnell – Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972, McConnell in 1984.
Also, there is now a working group of moderate Senators from both parties — Romney (R-Utah); Collins (R-Maine); Murkowski (R-Alaska); Manchin (D-West Va.); Mark Kelly (D-AZ); and others (about 12 in all) who will be able to get bills passed.
It will be harder for Biden, but not impossible.”
Stephen Rolandi analyzed the Presidential Election for WPCNR predicting a Joseph Biden victory. Mr. Rolandi’s views of the Georgia Primary runoff Monday published earlier today are solely his own opinions and do not reflect the views of his employers, Pace University and City University of New York.
WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. By Paul Feiner Greenburgh Town Supervsor. January 2, 2021:
SUGGESTION–NYS SHOULD OFFER RETIRED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO ASSIST IN ADMINISTERING COVID VACCINES THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET EARLIER VACCINATIONS FOR THEM AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES would help NYS vaccinate more people quickly New York Should Vaccinate Retired Medical Professionals Who Volunteer to Assist in Administering Covid Vaccines
News reports that New York State has administered less than one-third of the Covid vaccines provided to the State by the Federal government.
The program for the procurement, distribution, prioritization, and delivery of a Covid-19 vaccine, including the logistics of how the doses will be stored and administered, is complex. This is run by each State.
To help alleviate the roadblock in New York, I suggest vaccinating recently retired doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians and their immediate families who volunteer to assist in the State-run vaccine program. They would be able to then vaccinate other New Yorkers under the State’s program, and perhaps also free up doctors, nurses and EMTs from those duties. Britain has instituted enlisting the assistance of recently retired medical professionals, and I think the Governor should consider implementing that in New York. I will reach out to state officials with this suggestion.

WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2021By Stephen Rolandi January 2, 2020:
Stephen Rolandi analyzed the Presidential Election for WPCNR predicting a Joseph Biden victory. Mr. Rolandi’s views of the Georgia Primary runoff Monday are solely his own opinions and do not reflect the views of his employers, Pace University and City University of New York.
Georgia will hold run-off elections on Tuesday,
January 5, 2021 to determine not only who will represent Georgia in the next
session of the United States Senate – but also which party will control the Senate. The run-off elections are required as
no candidate secured the required 50% majority in November. The candidates are:
REGULAR 6
YEAR TERM:
David Perdue* (R) Jon Ossoff (D)
SPECIAL 2
YEAR TERM:
Kelly Loeffler** (R) Raphael Warnock (D)
Here’s how I see these races:
For many
years, Georgia was a very reliable “red” state. Since 2012, the Republican
party’s statewide margins have been declining – Mitt Romney received 53% of
Georgia’s vote in 2012; Donald Trump 51% in 2016; and Joe Biden (D) narrowly
defeated Trump by 12,000 votes (49.5% to
49.2%);
Similarly,
in the Governor’s races, the GOP margins have been declining – the GOP won
nearly 53% in 2014; Brian Kemp defeated Stacey Abrams by 55,000 votes in 2018
(50.2% to 48.8%);
Turnout has
been steadily rising statewide – 2.6 million in the 2014 Governor’s race; 4.1
million in the 2016 Presidential race; about the same in 2018; and 5 million in
2020 (Presidential);
I expect
turnout to exceed the 5 million; indeed, as of December 31st, over 3 million early votes have already been
cast; approximately 79,000 new voters – mostly African- American – registered
to vote since November 3rd.
President
Trump’s largely baseless claims about a fraudulent election in Georgia have
undermined GOP efforts there.
If a “stand
alone” stimulus bill is not passed by Congress, this is likely to hurt the GOP,
although Perdue and Loeffler have come out for the bill.
– 2-
So, here’s my call:
– WARNOCK (D) wins 51.5%; Loeffler 48.5%
– PERDUE (R) wins 50.3% to Ossoff’s 49.7%
Perdue will run well in Northern Georgia to offset
Ossoff’s strength in the metro Atlanta area. Some see Sen. Perdue as more
moderate than Trump. Warnick should benefit from a heavy African-American vote.
I expect a re-count, particularly in the Perdue-Ossoff race.
GOP will retain its majority in the Senate (51-49).
Mitch McConnell remains as Majority Leader. Charles Schumer remains as Minority
Leader , both for 2021-23.
