Take a Xanax everybody

Take a Xanax everybody Welcome to POLITICO’s West Wing Playbook, your guide to the people and power centers in the Biden administration and Harris campaign. There was a KAMALA HARRIS campaign official who opened up a press call on the Friday before Election Day saying: “Fuck, is it Friday?” The Atlantic’s MARK LEIBOVICH, instead of dropping a big political profile at the last minute, penned an advice column about how to prepare for the emotional roller coaster of parsing election results. So even if Selzer, with her long record of accuracy, is off by a few points, Harris’ improved position in the state from the last cycle “bodes incredibly well” for her campaign in general. One Trump campaign official told Natalie: “If one state could bite us in the ass, it’s North Carolina.” PENNSYLVANIA, HELLO: Harris, meanwhile, spent the entirety of the day in Pennsylvania, the swing state thought to be most likely to tip the election’s outcome. “It’s going to be very, very close.” OPTIMISTIC THINKING: In a call with reporters Monday, Jen O’Malley Dillon said the Harris campaign expects near-complete results from Georgia, Michigan and North Carolina by the end of election night and additional results from Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada on Wednesday and beyond.
