In a historic victory, Donald Trump has been re-elected President of the United States, winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote. In addition, Republicans now have a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
At the time of this writing, Trumps tally of Electoral College votes is 277 with several states left uncalled, exceeding the 270 needed to win. His total, given the current statistics, is likely to be over 315 by the end of the count.
The final tallies for Congress are also not yet known. The Senate has at least 52 Republicans (51 is a majority), and several races could swing their way, some are projecting a 54 or 55,
In the House of Representatives, Republicans previously had 220 seats, a slim margin given that 218 is the majority. At the time of this writing, the Democrats have flipped 2 seats and the Republicans flipped 4 for a net gain of two. Since many of the remaining seats are in California, Oregon and Washington, and are for Democrat incumbents, it is unlikely that Democrats can flip a sufficient number of the remaining Republican incumbents to gain a majority. Of the races called, the totals are 160 Democrats and 186 Republicans.
Well before the race was called, Harris sent her campaign manager to tell her crowd to go home, that she would address them tomorrow.
Several “progressive” states have passed legislation to have their electoral votes in the future to be determined by the total nationwide popular vote count, with the expectation that Democrats would always dominate. I wonder how many more electoral votes Trump would have gotten if this system was currently in effect. Dems should be more careful with their back room planning efforts.
Trump needs to clean house and prosecute those who are guilty of treason.
Unfortunately he didn’t do that the last time, and all of Obama’s deep state came after him. I’m hoping he has tracked down the spies and knows to fire them…
