Trump is triumphant

November ,6 2024 – PALM BEACH, FL – former President Donald J. Trump (R) asked the American people to put their faith in him and on election day they did. Trump crushed Vice President Kamala H. Harris (D) and the Democratic party.

Trump won the popular vote and the electoral college vot.

This was Trump's third presidential campaign and this one was his political masterpiece. Trump correctly identified that he was secure in all the states that he had won in 2020, except North Carolina. Knowing that he needed 270 electoral votes to win Trump ran a campaign focused on North Carolina, which he barely won in 2020, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Four years ago Joe Biden won six of those seven states by the narrowest of margins in an election that Trump still believes was stolen by Democrat chicanery involving mishandled and fraudulent ballots. There would be no doubts this time around.

Vice President Harris conceded Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, and all the other states that Trump won in 2020, except North Carolina. Harris was the preferred candidate of the billionaires and she outraised Trump by hundred of millions of dollars; but by focusing her effort on such a small portion of the country 7 of the 50 states it negated her money advantage from the start. Harris attempted to duplicate the election of 2020; but in 2020 Trump was President and was limited by the duties of his office and the COVID-19 restrictions that limited Trump's rallies and allowed Biden to run the 2020 campaign from his basement. This time Trump did not have any presidential duties to distract him, and there were no COVID restrictions, so Trump was free to do what he does best – Trump rallies where he gets to interact with the people face to face.

Trump, despite his advanced age, held four Trump rallies a day in the swing states. We watched him denounce his enemies in the mainstream media, criticize the Biden-Harris administration, reminisce on the success of his first term, publicly share his disappointments about the 2020 election, share his conspiracy theories, laugh, make jokes, play with his grandkids, share his music playlist, and even dance on stage. We watched in horror and he narrowly survive an assassin's bullet – it was the first of two assassination attempts against Trump.

The Biden-Harris administration unleashed the full powers of the federal government on Trump and his closest supporters. Trump has been indicted, he has been sued by partisan DAs, key Trump lieutenants including: Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone have gone to prison for dubious offenses brought by partisan prosecutors. Trump is the only President in American history to be impeached – TWICE. Democrats who feared facing Trump at a ballot box sought to discredit him in court rooms, while their allies in the mainstream media engaged in character assassination on the 24 hour a day news platforms.

None of it worked. Trump is a professional showman who has hosted his own reality TV show, beauty pageants, sporting events, etc. He likes to be on stage and in front of the camera. All the lawfare did was put Trump on stage. The more the public saw of Donald Trump the more they loved him, and the strength of that relationship was on full display on Tuesday night as Trump beat every expectation.

North Carolina was the first swing state to fall to Trump. Georgia followed, then the most coveted prize – Pennsylvania (the state where Trump was shot in a field in Butler – a field he would return to in a mass rally that 100,000 attended. Then Wisconsin was called for Trump in the early hours of the morning. Trump came out on stage to address his supporters.

As of press time Trump was leading in the other swing states. The New York Time prognosticates that Trump has a 91 percent chance of winning Nevada, a 91 percent chance of winning Michigan, and an 81% chance of winning Arizona. Trump needed to win at least 270 electoral votes to be elected President. At this point he has 277 and is looked to add to that. Harris has 224.

Trump also had coat tails. The Republicans picked up U.S. Senate seats in West Virginia and Ohio – while the three most vulnerable Republicans all won their races. As of press time the Senate races in Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona are all too close to call. The Republicans have a 51 seat majority; but that very easily could grow to a 54 or 55 seat majority in the next few days. The Republicans were massively outspent by Democrats and their billionaire allies in the Senate races; but it was no enough to hold the Senate. The fate of the House of Representatives is still much in play. Republicans lead having won 196 seats. Democrats have won 176 seats to this point.

In Alabama incumbents Barry Moore (R-Enterprise), Terri Sewell (D-Selma), and Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) all easily bested their opponents. In Alabama's redrawn Second Congressional District Democrat Shomari Figures easily bested Republican Caroleene Dobson. This means where Alabama had six Republicans and one Democrat in the House of Representatives; beginning on Jan. 1 the state will have five Republicans and two Democrats in Congress.

Harris still has not conceded the race; but that should be coming sometime this morning.

Trump was the 45th President of the United States. He will be the 47th President as well.
