The Size Of Donald Trump’s Electoral Victory Across The Country, Explained

/

It was a brutal campaign. A campaign which saw two assassination attempts, two Democratic presidential candidates, and two years of campaigning for the President-elect. But, despite what was the polls said would be a neck-and-neck election in the seven swing states which would ultimately decide it, Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election in a landslide.

A common theme emerged among Trump’s loyalists and his fiercest critics: sheer shock at the scale of his victory. An election which some thought would not be decided for weeks to come was all-but confirmed by the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The margin of victory across the country made it pretty clear who was going to win – something which became clear in Georgia – the first swing state to begin counting its votes. While Kamala Harris performed better than Joe Biden in Georgia’s urban areas, her margin of improvement (+0.5%) was far smaller than Trump’s in suburban (2.9%) and rural (3.9%) areas.

This trend replicated across the country, with Trump leading Harris by 3.5 percentage points at the time of writing in the popular vote (something which the President-elect lost in 2016 and 2020). Despite near enough every poll claiming the two adversaries were tied in the battlegrounds, Trump, once again, enjoyed a 3-4 point boost on what pollsters predicted pre-election. Given that most swing states were decided by a much smaller margin in 2020, it’s perhaps no surprise that Trump swept them on polling day.

There are several thousand counties in the U.S., and Trump flipped just under 90 of them. Harris, meanwhile, flipped just one. In those which remained the same, Trump’s support increased, while enthusiasm for the Democrats dwindled.

The best summary, albeit referring to states rather counties as social media believed, was CNN’s realization of Harris’ poor performance. It’s done the rounds online, but for one more time, it’s worth a watch. Jake Tapper was so shocked that he was actually honest.

(Some of) The Best Post-Election Liberal Meltdowns, All In One Place

/

Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election prompted a whole host of totally-sane liberals to upload videos to TikTok.

Liberals were distraught at the night’s results, which saw Trump trounce Vice President Kamala Harris across the country in the greatest political comeback in American history.

The Libs of TikTok account on X (@libsoftiktok) summarized the best liberal meltdowns, beginning with one guy who is apparently a personal trainer. CJ Baker uploaded a video reacting to Trump’s win by announcing his lifelong boycott of Tesla – the car manufacturer owned by the pro-Trump Elon Musk.

Another liberal said she was “genuinely confused” as to what happened. Spoiler alert: her candidate attempted to run a non-stop attack campaign focused on the perceived threat to democracy despite the fact that she never won a primary.

One dude, with painted fingernails, was so upset that he simply turned on his camera and screamed for 30 seconds.

Another woman was bewildered that a majority of Americans chose a preferred candidate based on economic concerns over abortion. In fact, the exit poll said that the economy was a pressing issue for twice as many Americans than abortion.

Things took a real turn for the weird later on Wednesday, Nov. 6, when one woman – as some form of protest, one can only assume – shaved her head for TikTok.

Much to the likely pleasure of her neighbors, one woman went into her front yard and screeched.

Another woman took the more courteous approach of screaming wildly in a deserted area.

Finally, a Harris voter insulted the appearance of 70million+ Americans, calling them “dumb as bricks”.

It never ceases to amaze that these people make a conscious decision to have a meltdown, film it, and upload it to the internet. So, feel free to give them the attention they crave by sharing this article far and wide!

It’s likely this will just be part one of many.

John Fetterman Stumbles After Joe Rogan Lays Out Democrat Plan To “Rig” Swing States

/

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman couldn’t help but agree with podcast host Joe Rogan amid concerns that fast-tracked citizenship for new arrivals in the country could impact future elections.

For years Republicans have warned of a plot to relocate illegal immigrants to swing states, granting them citizenship (and thus voting rights). Everything we know about the demographics of illegal aliens tells us they’d vote Democrat if they could – and even the illegals who gained citizenship through the Ronald Reagan amnesty went on to overwhelmingly vote Democrat, so it’s not like they’d have party loyalty if Republicans granted them it instead.

Rogan noted these concerns on his podcast with Sen. Fetterman – the only Democrat to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience amid a flurry of Republican guests including Donald Trump. In a discussion over the controversial “bi-partisan border bill” which would have given amnesty to two million illegal aliens every year.

“[Republicans’] fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever,” the UFC commentator said.

Fetterman stumbled, calling for an “honest conversation.” However, before he could continue, Rogan interjected and noted the services illegal aliens would receive, thus making them fond of the Democrat-controlled government.

“You could see how you import 10 million people over the course of four years illegally and then move a significant number of them to swing states and then provide them with all these services and then give them a path to citizenship,” said Rogan. “You could essentially rig those states.”

Fetterman had little in the way of response, mustering, “Undeniably. Immigration is changing our nation. And I think it’s generally for a good.”

Many on social media felt that Sen. Fetterman had admitted something the left once described as a “great replacement” conspiracy.

Others said that the clip was a good example as to why Harris would not appear on Rogan’s podcast.

Video Shows How Kamala Harris Is Running Different Ads Over Gaza War Depending On Where You Live

Kamala Harris is running different ads in different parts of the country in relation to the ongoing conflict in Gaza in an attempt to play both sides.

The Vice President’s standing on the war between Israel and Hamas has led itself to a tricky situation. While she has perhaps been more sympathetic to the rallying calls of pro-Palestinian activists than President Joe Biden, many Muslim voters see her as part of the administration which has funded Benjamin Netanyahu’s conflict which has led to the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Similarly, her flipflopping over the issue has frustrated Jewish voters who are fully supportive of Israel’s actions.

To solve this problem, Harris’ campaign has been running different ads depending on where you live in the country – and hoping that nobody notices.

For example, in the swing state of Michigan – where more than 241,000 Muslims live – Harris can be seen promising to “not be silent” in her efforts to end the suffering of Palestinians. However, in Pennsylvania – where 434,000 Jews make up 3.1% of the state’s overall population – Harris has been highlighting her support for “Israel’s right to defend itself.”

So, needless to say, people noticed.

The most interesting part of this latest flipflop is that it was exposed by none other than CNN!

There was also disagreement as to what this approach is called.

Pennsylvania Early Voting Figures Spark Hope For Republicans

Pennsylvania Early Voting Figures Spark Hope For Republicans

/

Republicans are jubilant as early voting figures show a major improvement for Donald Trump in a crucial swing state Kamala Harris can’t win without.

Pennsylvania, with its 19 Electoral College votes, has long been seen as the state which will decide the presidential election. Both Trump and Harris need the state on their path to 270, unless either can gain states which the other has held an advantage in throughout the campaign. But just for some data to prove how crucial a state it is; if Trump can carry Pennsylvania, he has a 96% chance of winning the election.

Early voting throughout Pennsylvania has given the Democrat a sizeable advantage, with the Vice President leading her Republican opponent by around 410,000 votes on “Election Eve.” Harris holds 997,450 votes among registered Democrats, with Trump amassing 587,546 from within his own party. Independent voters, meanwhile, have cast 205,323 ballots.

On the face of it, the data suggests a 25-point lead for Harris with her party members turning out slightly more than eligible Republicans. However, a comparison with 2020 tells a different story.

Four years ago, early voting Democrats returned 1,702,484 ballots, suggesting Harris is over 700,000 votes worse off than Joe Biden was at this stage in the race. The GOP, meanwhile, amassed 623,404 in early voting tallies.

The data has prompted some Democrats to begin worrying.

Republicans, on the other hand, were more celebratory over the early indications.

Of course, there are so many factors at play that we won’t know for sure until the ballots are counted. If you want your candidate to win, get out and vote!

Chinese Student Accused Of Illegally Voting Will Still See Ballot Counted Despite Criminal Charges

Chinese Student Accused Of Illegally Voting Will Still See Ballot Counted Despite Criminal Charges

/

A Chinese student accused of illegally voting has been charged with two crimes, but his vote will still count in the swing state’s final tally.

The 19-year-old student at the University of Michigan, who has not been named, is a non-U.S. citizen meaning he is ineligible to vote. However, on Sunday, Oct. 27, the student registered his residency using his student identification, signed a document declaring himself as a U.S. citizen, and cast his vote. The story here is just how easily it is to illegally vote.

Although he later contacted the local clerk office to retrieve his ballot, the student’s vote will still count due to state laws designed to protect anonymity making it impossible to identify which ballot is his.

Local media reports that Ann Arbor City Council members were made aware of “potential voter fraud in Ann Arbor” involving a UM student who’s a green card holder. “

“Through a series of actions, the student was apparently able to register, receive a ballot and cast a vote,” city administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. said in the email. “Based upon the scenario that we’re hearing this morning, the student was fully aware of what he was doing, and that it was not legal.”

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in state polls, which the Democrat was expected to narrowly win earlier in the year.

Many on social media raised concerns over election integrity, with some critical of the student’s actions.

Others believed it effectively confirmed that illegal voters could still cast their ballot, even if they are not entitled to do so.

Byron Donalds Destroys CNN After Airing Edited Clip From Donald Trump Rally

/

CNN broadcaster John Berman was slammed by Republican Rep. Byron Donalds after a deceptively edited clip from a Donald Trump rally was used in an interview on their supposed news network.

The Florida lawmaker was speaking with Berman the morning after Trump’s Green Bay, WI, rally in which he spoke wearing a garbage collector’s uniform. It was the former president’s comments, however, which were the focus of CNN’s morning broadcast.

A clip in which Trump said he would protect women “whether they like it or not” was used in Thursday morning’s interview. However, the full quote, which was omitted, was: “[My advisors] said, ‘Sir, I just think it’s inappropriate for you to say.’ I pay these guys a lot of money; can you believe it? I said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not. I’m going to protect them. I’m going to protect them from migrants coming in. I’m going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things.’”

The latter part of the Republican’s remarks were cut off, before Berman asked Donalds, “Why is Donald Trump telling women he will do things whether they like it or not?”

“John, that is grossly inaccurate what you just played. Play the full clip. Play it in its context,” replied the GOP lawmaker. “He was talking about the tragedy at our southern border that led to the death of Jocelyn Nungaray.”

Adding that Jocelyn’s family had endorsed Trump, Donalds added, “He was telling a joke about how some of the staff said, ‘No don’t say you would protect women because they would take it out of context’ – obviously what CNN is doing right now.”

Despite acknowledging that House Rep. had the right context, Berman pressed on over Trump’s choice of words, prompting a livid Donalds to reply, “John, you need to stop.”

So deceptive was Kamala, that to CNN’s credit, even Jake Tapper debunked it elsewhere.

Many sided with the Republican while criticizing the CNN broadcaster.

Others noted that the network still refused to play the full clip despite Donalds’ requests.

Kentucky County Clerk Confirms Video Where Voter Couldn’t Cast Ballot For Donald Trump “Did Occur” After Initial Denial

/

A Kentucky County Clerk was forced to issue a retraction just three hours after effectively denying a viral video where someone was unable to vote for Donald Trump.

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown said on Thursday, Oct. 31 that there had been an “incident” with one of the electronic ballot marking devices. The incident in question came amid a voter’s video, where they tried to vote for Trump. Finger presses on the screen would either not select the Republican ticket, or default to Kamala Harris.

“We checked it and couldn’t make it recreate the incident reported,” Brown said in a since-deleted Facebook post. “We had no complaints prior to or after the complaint.”

Three hours later, Clark was forced to retract his initial statement.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown later said.

Many wondered why such incidents always seem to favor Democrats.

While one user acknowledged that mistakes can happen, he did question as to why it had not been spotted earlier in the election cycle.

It also raised doubts over election integrity.

Boeing Scraps DEI Department After Pressure From Conservatives

Boeing Scraps DEI Department After Pressure From Conservatives

/

Airplane manufacturer Boeing has dismantled its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) department amid a conservative campaign to eradicate positive discrimination from the corporate world.

According to Bloomberg, Boeing will combine the DEI office with a human resources team focused on talent and employee experience.

A vice president within the DEI department, Sara Liang Bowen, confirmed that she had left the company in a LinkedIn post.

“It has been the privilege of my lifetime to lead Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Boeing company these past 5+ years,” she wrote on the networking site. “Our team strived every day to support the evolving brilliance and creativity of our workforce. The team achieved so much – sometimes imperfectly, never easily – and dreamed of doing much more still. All of it has been worth it. Because behind every effort there has been a person: An unheard voice, an idea waiting to bloom.”

Earlier in the year, investigative journalist Christopher F. Rufo wrote that DEI practices had “poisoned the culture” of the company, with Rufo claiming on social media that the growing backlash had put pressure on the new CEO. Anti-DEI campaigner Robby Starbuck also shared the news, having emailed Boeing’s executives on Oct. 17 about a planned exposé.

Conservatives have been tracking up anti-DEI wins in recent months.

 Robby Starbuck has had an enormous amount of success in getting corporate America to walk back their DEI policies. That includes, most recently, industrial manufacturer Caterpillar as the latest company to remove its woke policies, following in the footsteps of a growing list of major corporations in recent months.

Those other companies include Ford, John Deere, Tractor Supply Club, Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s, and others.

Many on social media were glad to see the back of the DEI practices.

Others were less convinced by the proposed changes.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy Destroyed By CNBC’s Joe Kernan In Heated Argument

/

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy struggled through an interview with CNBC’s Joe Kernan on Wednesday, Oct. 30, in a heated argument over taxation and Donald Trump.

The interview on “Squark Box” began with Kernan asking which of Kamala Harris’ left-wing policies were his favorite, with the Democrat expressing enthusiasm for ending the filibuster.

Kernan soon moved the conversation onto state taxation – an issue which affects the CNBC broadcaster as a resident of New Jersey. He asked whether it would be fair for him to pay 80% on his income tax, prompting an uncomfortable Murphy to reply, “you sound like you’re on the Trump campaign.”

Kernan and Murphy also clashed heads over the Department of Justice. Like many Democrats, Murphy tried to accuse Trump of threatening to weaponize the DoJ to prosecute political opponents even though the Republican himself has been indicted by the federal government.

“I’m wild about opponents having a voice and having a seat at the table as opposed to being thrown in jail or hunted down by our military,” Murphy said.

Kernan replied: “But we might throw Trump in jail. The Justice Department was not weaponized under Trump. It’s been weaponized under the current administration. Right?”

Murphy struggled to respond, repeatedly asking Kernan, “Are you kidding me?”

Much like his interview, Murphy was torn apart on social media.

Other users said the New Jersey Gov. resembled the majority of Harris supporters who are unable to defend her policies, instead opting to attack Trump.
