Oil production has been higher under Biden than under Trump. The U.S. leads the world in oil production.

Donald Trump dangled a brazen "deal" in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden's environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new report.

According to the Washington Post, the former US president made his jaw-dropping pitch, which the paper described as "remarkably blunt and transactional", at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home and club.

In front of more than 20 executives, including from Chevron, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, he promised to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, remove hurdles to drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and reverse new rules designed to cut car pollution. He would also overturn the Biden administration's decision in January to pause new natural gas export permits which have been denounced as "climate bombs".

"You'll get it on the first day," Trump said, according to the Post, citing an unnamed dinner attendee.

Trump's exhortation to the oil executives that they were wealthy enough to pour $1bn into his campaign war-chest, at the same time pledging a U-turn on Biden's efforts to combat the climate crisis, was immediately denounced on Wednesday by environmental groups.

"$1bn for Trump, a devastating climate future for the rest of us," said Pete Maysmith of the League of Conservation Voters (LCV).

She's also on that other site that can't (shouldn't?) be mentioned here.

I think you are right, but I would not put any money on it. It is very close now, however, may open up as get closer to election day.

I want to see a picture of her.

My pleasure.

welcome Sophia!  It's slow in here, but a lot of guys read but don't respond.  Hope our paths cross sometime...

Ah thank you for the warm welcome + thank you @DoctorTaco for vouching for me!

Why is that?  Just random guessing or based on something concrete?

I have not looked at it.  I feel I have better things to do, but
the bottom line is one would want to look at how electoral college voting may have
changed since the last election.  Obviously most of it will be unchanged.
So....it seems likely that once again who wins will boil down to how people vote in a very
small number of places and how electoral college votes are tabulated in certain states
(by district or winner take all).

It appears some but maybe not many people will change their mind about who they voted for in last election.
So I am wondering if demographic and population changes will be influential (because that is one way voting in particular areas can change past trends).
A new crop of young people that were not 18 in 2020 will be able to vote.
At least according to the news many of them may not vote though.
The lack of a vote can be as important as a vote....
