Despite felony convictions, the Republican nominee will carry the Electoral College; GOP recaptures the U.S. Senate; Legal Abortion measures prevail in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Nebraska, and New York, but not Florida.
At 2:24 AM, a mere 144 minutes after one of the most tumultuous election days in American history, Donald Trump was guaranteed a second term as president as the Associated Press called Pennsylvania for the Republican presidential nominee, the first candidate since Grover Cleveland to lose the presidency and then recapture the White House.
“We’ve achieved the most incredible political thing, political victory, that our country has never seen before—nothing like this,” Trump told supporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida earlier in the evening. Even opponents could agree that Trump’s rise from his 2020 electoral defeat, January 6 disgrace, and multiple legal defeats, including 34 felony counts and legal liability for defamation and sexual assault, represented a comeback of stunning proportions. And it wasn’t even that close, as the 78-year-old defeated Kamala Harris, the vice president and Democratic nominee who secured her spot atop the ticket after President Joe Biden, 81, withdrew from the race this summer following a devastating performance in the first presidential debate. She became the first major party candidate to win a nomination without entering a primary since Hubert Humphrey in 1968.
Pennsylvania, long considered the most pivotal swing state, embodied the Democratic disaster that was the 2024 presidential election. The Republican presidential ticket of Trump and Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio did far better than that of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who won the Keystone State in 2020. The GOP performance rose in Chester and Delaware, suburban counties of Philadelphia that were key to Democratic hopes, across the state’s conservative interior, and even in inner-city Philadelphia where the 60-year-old Californian and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, hemorrhaged Black and Hispanic votes.
Earlier in the evening, Democratic anxieties grew as maps of Georgia, a state Biden won narrowly against Trump four years ago, fell into the Republican column, as did closely contested North Carolina, another state where the Democrats’ much-anticipated wave of women angered by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority evisceration of abortion rights in 2022 failed to materialize to the degree needed to overcome Trump’s strength.
Harris did not match Biden’s 2020 performance with white, non-college-educated women, Black men, and especially among Latinos. Trump appeared to have outright won a majority of Latino men.

It’s razor thin they said
A dead heat they said
Polls are a pack of damned lies
Whenever the dems are "Despondent", it's a great day for AMERICA!
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning!” - Kamala Harris
I am filled with joy this morning, but also realize there are tough roads ahead for us as a nation. The Left isn’t going to stop, but we do have an opportunity now to make America great again.
Question for legal eagles:
Trump is President and it appears that we have a Republican Senate coming up, and we should continue to have a Republican house.
Can the federal Congress pass federal laws concerning Federal elections that state that anyone voting in a federal election must have an ID regardless of their state laws?
Pass laws regarding the use of drop boxes and absentee ballots in federal elections?
Maybe they can rein in the methods that the Democrats have been using if only in federal elections where it’s important
Msdnc morning ho show was reduces to discussing how accurate the polls were.
Their angst is truly hilarious
“his 2020 electoral defeat, January 6 disgrace, and multiple legal defeats, including 34 felony counts and legal liability for defamation and sexual assault”
It helps that all of that is fake.
From Newsweek: As of 1:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 6, Trump had the lead over Harris by about 4.9 million votes. The outstanding votes in the remaining states make it unlikely—if not outright impossible—for Harris to overtake Trump in the popular vote even if she were to win all of the remaining votes.
It’s called Trump Wine.. I’m heading out after lunch to buy a bottle. It’s overpriced, but worth it for the weekend celebration.
Evidence to warrant this statement? And the MSM can't figure out why people now are leaving their subscription base in epic numbers.
They probably look like that on purpose from the puffy eyes and smeared mascara.
Buy 2 - one to save for your grandchildren
I’m not a legal expert, but I think all elections are administered by the states. I don’t think Congress can impose restrictions.
That being said, I would like to see Federal dollars used as an incentive to get states to adopt reforms. I think federal money should be provided (or withheld) to states until they adopt reform along the lines of Florida. Congress cannot force them, but maybe the states will see that it’s in their best interest.
We need to jail these criminals for their crimes
Ted Cruz increased his percentage among Hispanic voters who live near the Mexico border.
You might as well sell balloons filled with air.
“Hopefully moving to Argentina...”
Doubt if Milei would let her in.
I like the way you think.
Where did Joe Biden’s 81 million voters go?
Don’t see any headlines asking that very relevant question.
Hmm…
