Republicans Seize Control of the U.S. Senate

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 11/6/2024 1:12:24 AM

Republicans have secured the majority in the United States Senate, according to a projection from Decision Desk. The Ohio Senate race solidified this victory. It was called by Decision Desk at 10:50 p.m. (X) This seat flip would push Republicans past the threshold for the majority. This week, NPR reported that the top races to watch for the Senate were in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Montana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Many of these are battleground states and will determine who becomes president. In September, Townhall reported how Michigan Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who ran for the state’s Senate seat, said that internal polling showed Vice President Kamala Harris “underwater.”

"Seized?", No...WON! They actually already HAD a numerical majority, dems advantage only came by "Independents" that regularly voted along with them, and having a VP to cast tie-breaker votes. Both are now offset..

OK Dems, in an effort to reach across the aisle, we will kill the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, as you demanded. You are welcome.

Biden and Harris have inflicted problems that are the worst in history, for the next administration to clean up. Tens of millions of illegal aliens, violent crime and drug smuggling, declining military enlistment, and rampant inflation are all heavy burdens for the new presidential administration. Mexico is reportedly delaying a vast horde of at least another 150,000 migrants at Tapachula, which is its southernmost city, until after our election depending on who wins. On Sunday a shootout occurred in Mexico near the California border, which left 2 Colombians dead and 4 wounded.

Former President Donald John Trump is the winner of the 2024 presidential election, and will become the first person to win back the Oval Office after losing a reelection bid since Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. Trump — the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president — secured a path to a 270-vote threshold in the Electoral College with a victory in Pennsylvania, one of the “blue wall” states he won in 2016, and where he campaigned vigorously throughout the campaign.

On Tuesday night, at 10:50pm, approximately three hours after the polls closed in Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno was declared the winner of the Buckeye State's Senate race. With such a win, Moreno unseated Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, a vulnerable incumbent who had served for three terms. While he handily won reelection in 2018, Brown became increasingly vulnerable as Ohio has grown more and more red. With 50 percent of the vote in, former and potentially future President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the state's 17 electoral votes.

Decision Desk HQ projects that Donald will be the next president of the United States. As of publishing time, Trump has 65 million votes to Harris's 60 million. Trump and Harris were in a virtual tie leading up to the election, but Harris had a huge cash advantage. The vice president raised over a billion dollars and benefitted from $585 million in outside money, while Trump raised $380 million with around $700 million in outside money. Trump's poll numbers went up significantly after he was nearly assassinated in July, but the race flattened as Election Day drew near. The RCP Electoral College map projected 211-219 for Trump with 108 tossups.

The Kamala campaign told their staffers to go home and get some sleep as President Trump dominates the crucial battleground states. The media is refusing to call the election for President Trump as the Kamala camp scrambles to find more ballots. “As polls close across the country, I wanted to give everyone an update on what we’re seeing. As we have known all along, this is a razor thin race. Thanks to this amazing team, we have seen incredible turnout across the Battleground States, and the closeness of the race is exactly what we prepared for,” the memo read.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper appeared stunned Tuesday during a live broadcast as early polling data revealed a dramatic 20-point shift among independent voters in Georgia toward former President Donald Trump compared to what President Joe Biden got in 2020. During CNN’s “Election Night in America” coverage, Tapper seemed surprised by the results of Georgia’s exit poll centers for independent voters who now favor Trump by 11 points. These results are a dramatic reversal from the 9-point advantage Biden held four years ago.

It’s finally over, and the 2024 presidential campaign made history in at least one ignominious respect: Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history, favoring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded. The final Media Research Center (MRC) study released last week showed evaluative coverage of Harris — excluding “horse race” assessments — on ABC, CBS and NBC was 78% positive vs. 22% negative. For Trump, those numbers were flipped: just 15% positive press, vs. 85% negative coverage. Subtracting Trump’s positive press from Harris’s,

If you’re a Kamala supporter, you might be reaching for a bottle of bleach right now. It’s been reported that the vibes are bad at her campaign headquarters in Washington, DC. The joy is dead, run over by the reality that Kamala Harris was unqualified and lacked the intelligence to do the job. (X, Videos) Now, her campaign is no longer commenting on the state of the race and is not going to concede the race tonight. Jen O’Malley Dillon, Kamala’s campaign manager, just delivered the “get some sleep and get ready to close out strong tomorrow” address to the troops, which is political speak for we lost.

Donald Trump will take the 30 Electoral College votes in his home state of Florida - but winning one county will be particularly satisfying for the former president. The Associated Press called the race just an hour after polls closed with Trump ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris by more than 11 percent with 86 percent of the vote reported. Florida was previously a swing state but in recent elections has moved further and further to the right. In this election almost every region in the state shifted Republican, including historically blue counties.

If Vice President Kamala Harris loses the election, several Democrat officials believe that President Joe Biden will be to blame, a new Politico Playbook report revealed. After speaking with Democrat insiders, the outlet stated, “If Harris loses, it’ll be because… she took the reins too late.” “Already, most Democratic officials we’ve spoken to agree: If anyone should get the blame for a Trump win, it’s Biden,” Washington, DC, correspondents Rachel Bade and Eugene Daniels wrote Monday. According to the Democrats they spoke to, Biden’s long-held commitment to running at 81 years old despite his obviously faltering mental health and low approval rating cost Harris

Speaking as though he was delivering a sermon, Jones opined about how this election supposedly told black women that America rejected them, how they hoped Harris would essentially liberate them, and lamented how their hard work didn’t pay off:

The “experts” said it couldn’t be done. They called him a “loser” and an “illegitimate” president whose time in office should be stricken from the pages of history. Political pundits said his refusal to accept the mail-in-ballot-fraud-tainted 2020 election results made him an “insurrectionist” and a “dangerous threat to democracy.” Democrat prosecutors and judges threw his supporters in jail. Democrat operatives in the FBI and DOJ insinuated that he is a “Russian spy” and “domestic enemy” who should be convicted of treason.

The Drudge Report has bet against Donald Trump and lost. Having once been the most influential conservative media website in America, the website appears to have conceded that Trump is heading toward an extraordinary victory. [Tweet] The lead headline links to an article from The Associated Press, which does not state that Trump has won the election but admitted that he had weakened the Democratic coalition. It stated: Even with the outcome uncertain Tuesday night, the 2024 presidential election already has exposed the depths of a fractured nation as the candidates navigated political shifts based on class, race and age under the near-constant threat of misinformation and violence.

Antifa agitators are already rioting in Democrat-led crime cesspools, calling for chaos on Election Night no matter who wins the White House. Black bloc militants in the city of Seattle mobilized early in the evening to launch an Election Night attack at the former site of the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). Seattle cops swiftly shut the anarchist occupation down and arrested several leftist activists, according to on-the-ground footage captured by The Post Millennial's Katie Daviscourt. "There is a heavy police presence on the ground tonight," she said, noting that the Seattle Police Department is "not playing any games."

Venomous as can be, Reid spewed delusional bile about former President Donald Trump that no sane and rational person believes, beginning with the same old references to "fascism" and "Hitler," and ending with cataclysmic predictions of what will happen if Trump wins.

Hunter Biden has apparently found some popularity as a Hollywood party guest ahead of his sentencing next month in two cases. Spies said that the convicted first son, 54, was at a party in Los Angeles last week grousing about his mounting legal bills and his infamous Ukraine scandal. Said an insider of the A-list gathering: “Hunter Biden was trying to explain his history and problems to guests at a party in LA.” The source said Hunter was telling guests that, “‘I have $18 million in legal bills, and… my cases hanging over my head.’ He also talked a lot about his Ukraine and Russia connections saying, ‘all these stories were set-ups.'”

They even trotted out rejected former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney to try to appeal to them.

On September 22, unnoticed by most Americans, the Biden-Harris administration adopted the United Nations Pact for the Future to transform global governance, which introduces the foundations of a world government. There was no debate, no media coverage, no press releases, and no interviews about the Biden-Harris administration's surrender of United States sovereignty to the UN. Americans were apparently not supposed to find out. These agreements usher in a dystopian future, where the UN -- an active supporter of terrorism and arguably the world's most corrupt international entity... in partnership with the unelected and unaccountable World Economic Forum,
