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.
SNIP
The kind of headline I was hoping to see today.
Still to early for Antifa to wake up
I want to bottle and sell Liberal Tears.
I’m sure they will be up and about come inauguration.
It’s payback time and it’s going to be glorious.
If they’re not, then it means the Dems are in shambles and no one’s paying for them.
There will be an ample supply today!
I wonder what Liz Cheney is doing today? 😃
They’re already crying and wanting the Republicans to “reach out” and “share” the government with them. They should do all the “sharing” Pedo Joe did the last four years. Some want Trump to show them how fair he is by pardoning Pedo Joe’s little Hunter. Trump and the Republicans need to tell them to FO and trample them the way they did us over the past four years.
This is a great day for America and the world.
Probably destroying the interior of her condo.
Hopefully moving to Argentina, I hear there are a few old German villa’s available.
“The January 6 disgrace” - Congressmen hiding under their desks taking selfies.
The biggest loser of all in all this? Humper Biden. Unless PoopyPants Joe pardons him, that boy’s going to prison. And rightly so.
Congress needs to open an investigation of official corruption involving all the Bidens. Disgrace Joe permanently.
If there’s anyone have a link to updated/currentpopularvote count? I can’t find it I’d like to see what the percentages are.
Here in Kentucky it was a blowout. In my County we had a 64% turnout. Which concerning how important this race was I would call that low, but historically it’s quite High obviously
Like the “media mafia” might say. “The ‘blue wall’ was just a mirage.” Yeah, Right. They only take shots like that at Republicans.
Rush Limbaugh often said that liberals were the most fun to watch when they are out of power. In the days ahead, they should be hilarious.
