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.

Scott Jennings remains a national treasure on CNN. At the same time, it’s becoming clear that he might either get booted or not re-signed because he’s simply too good at smacking down liberal nonsense, and he does so with such ease that it causes the many panels he’s on to devolve into mayhem. In a testy exchange with The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell, Jennings wouldn’t accept, nor should anyone, the cuckoo narrative that liberals are peddling concerning how Donald Trump is going to use the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. She even had the gall to say that Jennings was overly optimistic or naïve

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre lost her temper and abruptly fled Thursday’s White House briefing after one brave reporter reminded the American people of the Biden-Harris regime’s malevolent pre-election message regarding President Trump. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, a happy Joe Biden addressed Trump’s victory by congratulating him and assuring him of a peaceful transition of power. Biden also called on the country to lower the temperature and unite. “You can’t love your country only when you win. Something I hope we can do is see each other as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature,” Biden said.

Donald Trump. He's back. After the most dramatic election cycle in modern American history, Trump has won a sweeping victory, moving every single state in America in his direction from 2020. He didn't just sweep the swing states. He only lost New Jersey by five points. He won Miami-Dade County in Florida -- the first Republican presidential candidate to win the county since George H.W. Bush in 1988. He won 45% of the Hispanic vote. In several of the key swing states, he broke 40% with the Jewish vote. He won north of 20% of the black male vote.Trump grew his coalition in every single area. Across the board. So, what happened?

Biden’s remarks from the White House were his first public comments since Tuesday’s election. “For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment in self-government in the history of the world,” Biden said. “That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.” Biden said he had already spoken to Trump and congratulated him on his victory. “I assured him that I direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,” Biden said, later adding: “On January 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer

The Amish are not a politically engaged community, but the 2024 election was different. There was one issue that prompted these Pennsylvania residents to register to vote in “unprecedented numbers”—milk. Earlier this year, there was a federal raid on a raw milk farm, Bird in Hand, that angered the community over the government’s heavy-handed response following reports of illness from consumers. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture stormed Amos Miller’s farm Jan. 4 after reports of illnesses in children linked to raw dairy products purchased there, according to the local media outlet Lancaster Farming.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Republican Dave McCormick showed three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey the door in the Keystone State’s high-stakes Senate race, bringing a Pennsylvania political dynasty to an end — and securing the 53rd seat in the GOP’s 2025 Senate majority. (Photo) McCormick, an Army veteran and former hedge-fund executive, beat Casey by just over 30,000 votes, netting 49% of votes to the Democrat’s 48.5%, with 99% of votes counted, the Associated Press reports. The minuscule margin triggered an automatic recount, as Pennsylvania law dictates for any race decided by 0.5 percentage points or less. The Republican declared victory just after 1 p.m. Thursday, three hours hours before AP

Pollster J. Ann Selzer is “reviewing her data” to determine why her pre-election poll, which set off a multi-day media firestorm, inaccurately showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa. Selzer is “reviewing her data to determine why a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll released just days before the election produced results so far out of line with former President Donald Trump’s resounding victory,” according to the Des Moines Register. The shock poll showed a 7-point shift from President-elect Donald Trump to Harris from September, when he had a 4-point lead over the vice president (47% to 43%) in the same survey.

Employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are reportedly terrified that there will be a "bloodbath" of layoffs once President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated. Which is odd, since our friends in the mainstream media have previously indicated the term "bloodbath" is a secret siren call for violence. Kerry Picket of the Washington Times spoke to several inside sources who claim top officials at the bureau are “stunned” and “shellshocked” at the overwhelming victory for Trump in Tuesday's election. Trump didn't just win -- he received an overwhelming mandate from the American people, along with solid Republican control of the Senate and very likely retaining control of the House.
