As I write this Donald Trump has just been declared the winner in Pennsylvania. This gives him 267 electoral votes, where he needs 270 minimum. Several states remain to report, still counting their votes.
Bret Baier concludes there is essentially no feasible way for Harris to win all those still outstanding. It is likely his Electoral College total votes will be substantially greater than 270.
Thus Donald John Trump will be the 47th president, baring the black swan of all times. Hip, Hip, Hooray! As someone on Fox News just said, we’ve seen our Republic “repairing” itself, mending the misstep that was the Biden presidency.
Democrats need to do some serious soul-searching about how and why they screwed up so bad, losing to a guy many thought a boor and a roue’. I’ll have thoughts about what this means tomorrow, after I’ve slept on it.
Later … They just called Wisconsin for Trump, taking him to 277, making his win official. At this point only MI, AZ, NV, and AK remain to be called.
An analyst on MSNBC said “Trump did better among every demographic except college educated women.” I wonder if less partisan outlets will agree? If true, that is a heck of an endorsement.
Instead of being gracious and calling Trump to congratulate him, Harris sent her campaign staff home and went to bed. This is a “no class” move if ever I saw one. The news media are unimpressed and now feel free to say as much.
