A Trump-Biden tie in Electoral College could lead to ... President Nancy Pelosi
With the 2020 presidential election just days away, many are speculating about what would happen if there is a tie in the Electoral College vote. One possible outcome could be ... President Nancy Pelosi. Although unlikely, an Electoral College tie is not entirely impossible and does have historical precedent. The Electoral College consists of 538 votes distributed among all 50 states and Washington, D.C. To become president, a candidate must win a majority of these votes, with 270 being the absolute minimum. But 538 is an even number, meaning there could be a scenario in which both candidates receive 269 electoral votes. In that outcome, the vote would go to the U.S. House of Representatives to break the tie. The vice president, meanwhile, would be chosen by the Senate in the case of a tie. This means that the U.S. could have a Republican president and Democratic vice president. If the House of Representatives can't decide on the president, and the Senate has chosen a vice president, then the vice president would become the acting president until the matter was resolved. If neither the Senate nor the House can pick someone, then the speaker of the House -- Nancy Pelosi -- would become acting president until both chambers of Congress decide on someone.

Tucker Carlson shares how UPS explained missing package of Biden family documents
Fox News' Tucker Carlson used his Thursday night monologue to update viewers on a missing package of Biden family documents that was being shipped from New York City to Los Angeles via UPS. Carlson was in Los Angeles when the package was shipped, preparing for an interview with former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski. "Somewhere along the way," Carlson explained, "the contents of that package disappeared. Inside was a flash drive that contained primary documents pertaining to the Biden family. Those documents did not come from Tony Bobulinski. And of course, we made a copy of those files before we sent them, because we're careful. "We get a lot of documents from a lot of different sources all the time, but especially in election years," he continued. "Before we put them on the air, we have to determine first whether they're real, whether they're newsworthy and whether it's legal to show them. We wanted to assess what we had and we're still assessing it."
UPS claimed the flash drive was found Monday night by an hourly employee at the company's building on 43rd Street in New York City, Carlson said. "They suggested it might have been sitting on the floor there. They couldn't prove that because remarkably, in a room where millions of high-value packages are handled, there are no security cameras. That's just what they told us," he added. "Obviously, we had some questions about it, but UPS executives did not answer our questions." CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

SOME PARTING WORDS  Tucker Carlson said "it's been obvious for decades now that the Biden family has gotten rich from selling influence abroad" on Thursday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Biden's son and brother, Carlson reported, approached foreign governments and companies – Sovereign Wealth Fund, energy conglomerates, world oligarchs and dictators – and "they offered to exchange favors from Joe Biden for cash," a fact until recently no one debated.
