In roughly 24-hours from now, we’ll know the world’s fate. Everything is at risk, from the climate to world peace and whether or not we have control of our own bodies. We’ll all be on pins and needles until the race is called for Kamala Harris.

Aside from the presidency, we’re also watching the US Senate race and the various elections in Texas. I’m sure many of you will be at election watch parties or glued to your TVs, but if you’re looking for specific updates on Texas elections, you can watch those live here:

I’ll monitor the results closely and have a full update on Wednesday. Then, we’ll examine the data over the next week.
