It's taking a long time to confirm because it only pays a 50.25 sat/B fee.

This website shows that today you need to pay a 390 sat/B fee for fast confirmations.

This post explains some options that might speed its confirmation time up.

To avoid the problem in the future enable dynamic fees and move the slider all the way to the right. You will pay a high fee but get fast confirmations.

I appreciate your fast reply.

Additionally, double check that you are running an up to date version of Electrum. The latest version is currently 2.8.3 and should use dynamic fees by default now.
