The best possible Trump legacy would be a bulletproof balanced budget amendment. Talk about killing inflation, that’s the way. How do we let Trump, Vance and Musk know?

A new report highlighted a growing number of Americans, and particularly Californians, who are planning to move overseas because they are “fed up” with the divisiveness of US politics. The Los Angeles Times spoke to global migration experts who’ve documented a spike in the number of Americans seeking to move out of the country since 2020, with many of them being California residents. The number of requests this election year has already exceeded last year, global firm Henley & Partners said. The consultant company helps clients obtain residency and citizenship in other countries and said that about 80% of their...

“It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either,” Obama posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday afternoon. “So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today.”

Kamala Harris finally phoned Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election, hours after the race was called and her devastating defeat was confirmed.But she had a warning for the president-elect, lecturing him even as she congratulated him.

Liz Cheney’s alliance with Vice President Kamala Harris failed to deliver enough votes in swing state suburbs to overcome President-elect Donald Trump’s surge. The failed alliance suggests the Harris campaign blundered by utilizing Cheney as a surrogate to attract Republicans. The failed strategy will likely cause Democrat infighting. Cheney, who allied herself with Democrats on the partisan January 6 committee, campaigned heavily with Harris in rustbelt-state suburbs. At each campaign stop, Cheney ripped Trump as a threat to democracy, a rhetoric that voters rejected on Election Day. “If you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever...

CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez details the reactions of aides and allies within Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign after President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory.

Kamala Harris finally phoned Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election, hours after the race was called and her devastating defeat was confirmed. But she had a warning for the president-elect, lecturing him even as she congratulated him. 'She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,' a senior Harris aide said. Harris, during her campaign, repeatedly vowed to a be a president 'for all Americans.' She will concede to the nation at Howard University later today - almost 12 hours after the election was called for her Republican rival....

Democrats looking for a boost in crossover voters might want to politely reject endorsement by former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who became a Democratic Party surrogate after endorsing nominee Kamala Harris in September. Cheney-endorsed Susan Wild and John Avlon lost their closely watched House races to a Republican challenger and Republican incumbent, respectively. Pennsylvania three-term incumbent Wild made a series of blunders in her campaign, including sending contradictory letters to pro-Israel and pro-Palestine constituents and mocking a Republican stronghold in her district in a leaked conference call with fellow Democrats, the Washington Free Beacon reported. An allied labor union even...

Speaking forcefully, James emphasized her office’s dedication to upholding the rule of law amid what she described as “egregious” and “intentional” financial misconduct.

Donald Trump was elected president again last night. After being voted out of office in 2020. After trying to rig the vote and then to overthrow the government by force in the wake of that loss. After all but welcoming a pandemic that ended up killing more than a million of us. After ripping away abortion care rights from millions of American women. After being impeached, twice. After being convicted of multiple felonies. After dogging it on the campaign trail, playing to emptying halls while speaking in demented tongues unknown even to him. After all of that, and God knows...

Make room, Grover Cleveland: Donald Trump on Tuesday became the second guy to win a second, non-consecutive four years in the White House — and with the most multiracial coalition the GOP’s seen in decades, maybe ever. Coupled with Republicans winning clear control of the Senate, and a strong chance to keep their narrow House majority, Trump has great prospects to make good on his vow to usher in a new “golden age.” “My message to Americans tonight is simple: We do not have to live this way. We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline and decay,”...

Special counsel Jack Smith is in active talks with senior leadership at the Justice Department evaluating ways he can end his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The decision is based on longstanding Department of Justice policy that a sitting president cannot face criminal prosecution while in office, sources said. It is unclear as of today how Smith’s prosecutors will approach dismissing both the federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C., and their ongoing appeal of Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the classified documents case. Trump has vowed to fire Smith "within two...

President-elect Donald Trump won a historic victory in a border county with a 97% Hispanic population on Tuesday night — ending a Democratic voting streak that began in 1896. Trump’s take over of the blue bastion was made evident Wednesday morning as he won Starr County with more than 57% of the vote — the first time a Republican has claimed the border community in 128 years. The outcome reveals the surge in popularity Trump has received from Latino voters, especially among men, with issues around the border and illegal immigration.

WASHINGTON – In an unexpected move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Special Counsel Jack Smith have decided to end their cases against President-elect Donald Trump. According to ABC News, the DOJ cited its longstanding policy that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, a guideline that has now led to the cessation of legal proceedings against the former president. While many had anticipated that the DOJ and Smith would continue their work up until Trump’s official departure from office, the decision to close these cases before he even takes office has raised eyebrows. “What’s interesting here is that the DOJ is...

On today's Morning Joe, NBC reporter Peter Alexander described the mood at a Kamala donor party in DC last night as being like "a funeral."And Mika Brzezinski certainly dressed for the occasion today, draped, as you see, in all black.Claire McCaskill was near tears as she acknowledged that Trump understood the electorate better than Dems: that "fear and anger" work, and that our "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton predictably blamed racial and gender,"bias" and "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men for Kamala's poor showing with them. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The New York Times editorial board was despondent over President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory, declaring his return to power was a “grave threat” to the republic. “American voters have made the choice to return Donald Trump to the White House, setting the nation on a precarious course that no one can fully foresee,” the board wrote on Wednesday, later adding, “Mr. Trump’s election poses a grave threat to [the] republic, but he will not determine the long-term fate of American democracy. That outcome remains in the hands of the American people.” Trump capped a stunning political comeback from his defeat...
