MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's comments at a Tuesday fundraiser about the Electoral College shine a light on a longstanding debate: Should the Electoral College stay or should it go? Walz, according to pool reports, in Sacramento said the system by which the United States chooses its presidents "needs to go" and instead elect presidents by national popular vote. A spokesman later clarified that those comments do not reflect the official position of the Harris-Walz campaign. The Trump campaign condemned the remarks. But Minnesota did take a step — through a provision in a large elections bill last year...

"The Big Short" director Adam McKay went on a tear against the Democratic Party in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory Tuesday, declaring he's ditching the party for good. "It is time to abandon the Dem Party," McKay wrote on X. "I’m registering Green Party or Working Families. But am open to ideas." The director ripped the Democratic Party for what he deemed a series of missteps leading up to Election Day, including how they handled President Biden bowing out of the race to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris on the ticket. "Who would have guessed lying...

Representative Pat Ryan of New York is locked in one of the country’s toughest races. So it was especially noteworthy when the Democrat recently traveled hours outside his upstate district to visit an unusual set of influencers, Hasidic rabbis. Then the next night, an embattled Republican in a nearby district, Representative Marc Molinaro, went out of his way to name check the Orthodox community on the debate stage. And the following Sunday, Representative Mike Lawler, yet another Republican on the front lines, took advantage of a break in the Jewish high holidays to tour a kosher shopping center here in...

An 82-year-old Edmonds woman was arrested Monday for a hate crime after assaulting two trump supporters, according to the Edmonds Police Department. She has not been charged, but a judge found probable cause for a hate crime offense and two counts of fourth-degree assault Tuesday. On Wednesday, a newly released police body camera video shows the suspect explaining to responding officers what happened. The 82-year-old told police, “I approached her, and I said I want to know why you're voting for Trump. That's the only thing. And. And I said because you're brown-skinned."

Here is an epic montage of the best liberal meltdowns of people from social media, after they learned that Donald Trump won the Presidential election against Kamala Harris.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s remarkable victory, Vivek Ramaswamy, a rising star in the Republican Party, has provided a compelling reason for his success: the former President is “an American badass.” In a recent statement, Ramaswamy celebrated Trump’s triumph, explaining that while many in the media misjudged the 45th President, his resilience and self-belief were key to his comeback. Trump isn’t an ideologue or a policy wonk,” Ramaswamy said. “He’s an American badass. They tried to disqualify him, imprison him, and even kill him twice – none of it worked. They underestimated him, and by extension, they underestimated the...

Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good—Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, good afternoon. Thank you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. So let me say (crowd screams love you), and I love you back and I love you back. So let me say my heart is full today. My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me...

During MSNBC’s coverage of the 2024 election on Wednesday, MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” host and NBC News Chief Washington Correspondent and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell said that President-Elect Donald Trump says things that people think are “truth-telling,” but aren’t true and stated that Trump “bound Joe Biden to a withdrawal” from Afghanistan with the deal Trump reached during his first term in office, even though, by Mitchell’s own acknowledgment, Biden could have decided not to withdraw. Mitchell said, “He then gets into office, he cut the deal with the Taliban, cutting out the Afghan government, that bound Joe...

It was a somber and angry mood as the ladies of The View took to the table the morning after the Presidential election - which saw Donald Trump emerge victorious. The hosts - Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin -had been vocal about their disdain for Trump and support for Kamala Harris the whole election season. Including comments where they called him "psychotic," and addressed his "levels of depravity" with guests.

California was lashed by powerful winds Wednesday that fed a fast-moving wildfire that destroyed homes and forced hundreds of residents to flee while another fire burned near multimillion-dollar properties along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu as forecasters warned of the potential for "extreme and life-threatening" blazes. Northwest of Los Angeles, the Mountain Fire exploded in size and prompted evacuation orders for suburban communities, ranches and agricultural areas near Santa Paula in southern Ventura County. A thick plume of smoke rose hundreds of feet into the sky, blanketing whole neighborhoods and limiting visibility for firefighters and evacuees. At around 9:15...

Barack and Michelle Obama blamed Donald Trump’s historic victory on the pandemic and the economy in a statement released Wednesday. The pandemic hit early in the final year of Trump’s presidency, but the Biden Department of Health and Human Services declared the emergency’s end on May 11, 2023 – long after most Americans had returned to normal life. “America has been through a lot over the last few years — from a historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from the pandemic, to rapid change and the feeling a lot of folks have that, no matter how hard they work, treading...

The biggest fans of VP Kamala Harris are refusing to believe that she lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump. At the core of their conspiracy lies voter turnout-- “Dear POTUS, There are 20 million votes MISSING,” proclaimed one person on X. “No way there were 20 million fewer votes than 2020 with a massive 25 million surge in voter registration and record turnout. NO WAY.” “How can we have had record turnout and twenty million fewer votes cast nationally?” echoed someone else. “I hope in the coming days someone is able to explain how we had record turnout...

The Republicans’ best shot at racial parity with the Democrats has long been to become a multiracial men’s party, given the persistence of the gender gap in how Americans vote. It seems that vision is coming to pass sooner than anyone expected. Exit polls should always be interpreted with caution, but Donald Trump appears to have made dramatic inroads with Latino male voters, accelerating a rightward shift that had become evident in the last two elections. If the early numbers are accurate, Trump will have effectively flipped Joe Biden’s margin with that demographic, which supported Biden at a rate of...

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI) thanked President-elect and former President Donald Trump for allowing her to “play a small part” in his presidential campaign. In a post on X, Gabbard described it as a “great honor and privilege to get to know” Trump, whom she described as being a “kind and courageous person.” “I offer my heartfelt thanks and aloha to President Donald Trump for allowing me to play a small part in his victorious campaign to Make America Great Again,” Gabbard wrote. “It has been a great honor and privilege to get to know @realDonaldTrump, a kind and courageous...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appeared somber and teary-eyed while waiting to see defeated candidate Vice President Kamala Harris make a concession speech on Wednesday. Arriving at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, Pelosi was photographed greeting Harris supporters while appearing tearful. In a particularly emotional picture, Pelosi pouted as if just about to weep, and had watery eyes. Other pictures showed Pelosi smiling at the event and mingling with attendees. Harris' concession speech comes after a historic neck-and-neck presidential race ended with a victory for former President Trump early Wednesday morning. While the election was expected...

MrReeKilla @MrReeKilla Kamala only won the states that had no voter ID... Election integrity is under the spotlight, and Americans are rightfully questioning whether certain states remain blue because of inadequate voting security. The contrast between red states with stringent ID laws and those without can't be ignored. Would the outcome change if we had ironclad systems: 100% paper ballots, 0% electronic interference, and strict voter ID checks? "He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity... will dwell on the heights; his refuge will be the fortress of rocks." [Isaiah 33:15-16] How would stronger ID laws affect public trust in...

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was seen holding back tears as a devastated Kamala Harris conceded election defeat to Donald Trump. The 60-year-old was seen being embraced by his daughter Ella as his wife said: 'To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much.' Her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz patted his heart and appeared to also hold back tears as the incumbent vice president thanked him and his family. Emhoff proceeded to pat Walz on the back as the crowd that gathered at her alma mater Howard University in Washington DC cheered them on. The...
