Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon expects election results in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada will be delayed until Wednesday or beyond. The forecast suggests the Harris campaign believes she will not win the election in a landslide, a prediction that some Republicans believe is mostly correct, with the caveat that Trump could win in a landslide. Trump, some argue, has more paths to victory than Harris. Dillon told reporters she expects near-complete results in Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan by the end of Tuesday night.

Election officials in the key swing state of Pennsylvania are warning voters that the results of the 2024 presidential race may not be ready on election night in November. Monday’s Fox News report comes as former President Donald Trump (R) and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), are campaigning against Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and her running mate, radical leftist Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). The article continued: To avoid repeated controversy from four years ago, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt — a Republican appointed by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2023 — is explaining to voters that...

The Pennsylvania Department of State recently announced that the results of the state’s upcoming election may not be available on election night. The department emphasized in a social media post that delays in counting are expected, stating, “Pennsylvanians won’t always know the final results of all races on election night. Any changes in results that occur as counties continue to count ballots are not evidence that an election is ‘rigged.’” The post also directed readers to a website focused on fact-checking information related to Pennsylvania’s election process. This announcement recalls the 2020 election, where early results initially suggested a lead...

Claim: Hollywood star Bette Midler is pushing the left’s claim that Hillary Clinton has never questioned election results. In an X post on Sunday, the actress wrote: “Can you imagine what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed the election was stolen?” Verdict: Misleading if not completely false. Bette Midler worded her post as a question — a seemingly crafty gambit to stymie fact checkers. But her intention is unambiguous: she wants people to believe Hillary Clinton has ever cast doubt on the outcome of an election. Can you imagine what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed...

Former President Trump declined to commit to accepting Wisconsin’s November election results in an interview Wednesday, the latest instance of Trump hedging over whether he will contest the results of the election. “If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview Wednesday. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country. “But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results,” he added. Trump...

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is among those who recognized the significance of former President Donald Trump’s decisive victory in New Hampshire Tuesday evening, previewing a general election race between Trump and President Joe Biden. “After the Republican primary in New Hampshire, the choice for November is becoming clearer than ever,” Clinton began, asserting that democracy will somehow strengthen with Biden at the helm. “Will you choose expanding freedom and strengthening democracy with Biden, or more abortion bans and election denialism with Trump?” she asked. “I say: Four more years of progress”: After the Republican primary in New Hampshire, the...

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is projecting a path beyond New Hampshire before results are even in, with her campaign releasing a memo clarifying that she is not going anywhere. “It’s officially a two-person race. It’s Nikki Haley vs. Donald Trump,” a memo released by Haley’s campaign on New Hampshire’s primary day reads, boasting of the millions of dollars the campaign has raised. “The political class and media want to give Donald Trump a coronation,” it continues. “They say the race is over.”

A pair of Arizona election officials pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of interfering in the certification of the 2022 midterm results in their county. The Cochise County supervisors, Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, questioned whether machines used for tabulating ballots in the midterms were properly certified for elections, despite state and federal officials’ approval. The board certified the results three days after the deadline. Judd and Crosby pleaded not guilty on charges of interference with an election officer and conspiracy during the brief arraignment hearing Thursday, The Associated Press reported. The officials were informed of additional court dates, including...

There’s growing public concern over President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities. It is in the interest of the president — as well as the Democratic Party and the country — to address those concerns by submitting to a cognitive test that would include independent medical professionals. And he should do it soon. So far, both the president and First Lady Jill Biden have dismissed calls for him to submit to a cognitive test. But the public is growing worried. As reported in The Hill, a recent NBC News poll found that 68 percent are concerned the president “does not possess the...

Governor DeSantis said the Republican Party “needs to shake a culture of losing that has developed in recent years,” because in “in times like these, there is no substitute for victory.” “As I look ahead to 2024, I believe if the Democrats are able to sweep the offices again… they will pack the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College and make Washington, D.C. a state and eliminate voter ID in every jurisdiction,” he said. DeSantis said his reelection win in 2022 showed that voters supported his leadership during the pandemic. Leadership “is about delivering results,” he said, adding that...

Arizona officials certified the state’s vote canvass on Monday, officially declaring winners in the high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races, among other contests, as GOP figures vow to fight the election results in court. The once low-profile certification process turned into a fierce battle between election officials, Republican candidates and some county boards as the GOP seized on printer malfunctions in the state’s most populous county, in part leading Arizona to become an epicenter for voter disenfranchisement allegations. Election officials have acknowledged mishaps but insist no voter was disenfranchised. Some GOP figures and their supporters claimed officials were lying, unsuccessfully calling...

Anthony Fauci says he’s not breathing a sigh of relief that Republicans — who vowed to investigate him if they retook the Senate — didn’t win the majority in the upper chamber, because he has “no problem at all” testifying before Congress. “I have nothing to hide at all, despite the accusations that I’m hiding something,” Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert and President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told ITK at a gala in Washington over the weekend. “I have nothing that I could not explain clearly to the country and justify,” Fauci said. Sen. Rand Paul said earlier...

Is there a source for accurate information on the remaining House races? Its a week after Election day.... how the hell aren't these votes counted, fabricated, whatever it is they are doing? What seats does the GOP expect to win?

The mood was boisterous Wednesday on the set of ABC’s hit talk show “The View,” as the show’s hosts celebrated a number of political losses handed to former President Trump in the midterm elections. “I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention, the single biggest loser of the night was one Donald J. Trump,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former communications director and now the lone conservative on the panel. “He dragged down the Republican candidates in a huge way. He insisted on putting up candidates based on their fealty to him, not their qualifications.”

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that the latest results from Tuesday’s midterm elections show that former President Trump’s political instincts are “about” himself and not for his party. Christie made the remarks during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” after co-anchor George Stephanopoulos asked if he agreed with an assessment about Trump being the biggest loser in the election. In response, Christie said that the GOP lost races in key battleground states due to the party’s choices of “inferior candidates.” Trump has come under criticism for backing candidates that some Republicans thought could be weak in a...
