Trump, 78, was on course for an Electoral College landslide over Vice President Kamala Harris after he reversed his 2020 losses in the crucial states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — running up big margins among his white rural and working-class base while making significant inroads among ethnic minorities. “There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond,” the Republican nominee told a rapturous victory celebration at the Palm Beach County Convention Center not far from his Mar-a-Lago resort...

#8 ‘Trying To Figure Out What They Need To Win’: Broken Seals And Delays Draw Malfeasance Accusations In Milwaukee - M.D. Kittle for The Federalists, April Color and Matt Batzel on X
Infamous for delays in counting ballots, it looks like Milwaukee’s Election Day tabulation will go long into the night once again amid tabulator and ballot security problems. Swing state Wisconsin’s most populous city will have to recount some 31,000 absentee ballots previously counted thanks to an unsealed tabulator, sources at Milwaukee’s Central Count location tell The Federalist. Each ballot must be recounted. It’s a mess, according to Republican observers at the scene...

A constitutional amendment in Florida that would have overturned the state's six-week abortion ban was projected Tuesday night to fail after the measure was unable to secure the approval from the minimum 60% of voters. The Associated Press reported at about 9:30 p.m. the measure had failed. The amendment's rejection follows GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's 13-point victory in the increasingly conservative state. The state also appears poised to reject an amendment broadly legalizing marijuana. Florida is among the 10 states in which voters this year are considering such an amendment to their state constitution in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn nationwide abortion access guaranteed by Roe v. Wade...
#5 Republicans Gain Control of US Senate - Jeff Arnold for News Nation, Wall Street Gold, Sound Victor Baez, and The Seattle Times on X
The Democrats have controlled the Senate since January 20, 2021, when President Joe Biden took office. Of the Senate’s 100 seats, the Democrats have occupied 47 while the Republicans have filled 49 entering Tuesday’s election. Despite the GOP filling more seats, the Democrats maintain a slim majority because of the caucusing status of four independent U.S. senators. They include Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont), Sen. Angus King (Maine), Sen. Krysten Sinema (Arizona) and Sen. Joe Manchin (West Virginia). Sanders, King, and Manchin all caucus with the Democrats, while Sinema — a former registered Democrat — has said she won’t caucus with the Republicans, USA Today reported. Because of these alliances, the Democrats currently hold a 51-49 majority despite occupying fewer seats. Both Sinema and Manchin are not seeking reelection...

#3 79% of US Jews Voted for Harris, According to Largest Preliminary Exit Poll - Philissa Cramer for The Times of Israel, Hen Mazzig, and Mario Nawfal on X
The first rule of exit polls is to be careful about interpreting early exit polls, which aren’t always accurate. The second rule is that, for now at least, they represent the best information we have about the question occupying Jews of all political persuasions: How many Jews voted for Donald Trump? And how many voted for Kamala Harris? In recent decades, between 20 percent and 30% of American Jews have supported Republicans in national elections. The GOP hit a high-water mark in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won some 40% of Jewish votes, but the more typical split makes Jews among the most reliably Democratic demographics in the United States...

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings said that President-elect Trump's victory in the election over Vice President Kamala Harris was a signal that working-class Americans are fed up with the current administration. "This is a mandate," Jennings said. "He's won the national popular vote for the first time for a Republican since 2004. This is a big deal. This isn't backing into the office." The Fox News Decision Desk projected a Trump victory on Wednesday after he accomplished key wins in a handful of battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin...
