They did it. The American people. They secured the future of the nation and elected Donald J. Trump to be our 47th President of the United States. It took the conscience and heart and patriotism of everyone to accomplish it. Black Americans, white Americans, Arab Americans, Mexican Americans, Jewish Americans, all Americans. Not only did the American people elect Donald J. Trump to be our president, they did so with a clear and undeniable mandate that cannot be disputed, even taking the popular vote, the Senate and potentially keeping the House. The things that matter are the riches beneath us that we can tap into, securing our border, and fighting for freedom and democracy, which Trump's administration will do among many other things. As Trump said, "America is the greatest country in the world, it's in bad shape, she needs us, and we will fix it."

As of this morning Trump has 277 electoral votes and will likely secure over 300 and has 5 million more votes than Harris in the popular vote tallies.

Clearly the next four years will be better than the last four, in every sense. I am looking forward to it. Time to get this country back on the right track, and now it looks like we can.

@2ndchances24 Looks like the American people have already decided to do that. We took back the Senate and it looks like we will keep the House, so it's a landslide win for Republicans. The American people kicked the Democrats completely out of power, and the Senate majority is strong enough that Democrat votes won't be able to stop the Trump agenda. The voters made it VERY clear. The Democrats simply did not get the job done and fired them, as it SHOULD be. This was a red wave of significant proportion.

It will now be time for the American people to come together and get this country back on the right track. Trump, with the help of patriotic Americans, will accomplish that. That is all that matters. We cannot continue to live with inflation, raging wars, high poverty, eroding median income, high crime and looting, open borders, high gas and energy prices and the list goes on. Now we won't have to.

Wait and see? What are you talking about? It's done. lol. Harris cannot secure enough electoral votes even if she somehow managed to take the remaining states which she is losing. There is zero path to victory for Harris right now. The election is over and Trump will be the 47th president. There is nothing to wait and see about that.

Why am I not surprised. Funny that the USA is often held up as the beacon of gender equality - not in my experience.

The Democrats got the biggest message out of this. Whether or not they recognize it, is another question. They spent their entire time bashing Trump while burning down the country and they thought people would not pay attention to all the crap that was happening. They are going to need a serious strategy shift. The Republicans took back the Senate and it looks like we may keep the House, so pretty much, the Democrats lost everything. Their entire strategy backfired on them, and bigly.

Her entire campaign was a complete fraud, the going after Trump the way they did backfired, I think the gig was up before it ever started when we start really seeing the numbers here, so the media was pretty much completely lying to us as well. NO ONE bought it.

I thought Trump would pull it off, but I thought it would be a much tighter race.

That's what the polls said over and over again, but I kept writing (in my blogs) that I thought the polls were more media machinations than true. That proved to be right. There was NO way I could have fathomed a victory for Harris considering on the three biggest issues Americans were concerned about—inflation, the border and the economy—Trump was winning on all three. Not only that, but with approval ratings for Biden in the 30s and 70% of the American people believing the country was headed in the wrong direction, no former president with numbers like that has EVER won an election, so why would that be different now UNLESS TDS was so deep that it would have shifted the vote enough to sway the election. And Harris SUPPORTED Biden's policies and said she wouldn't change a thing. That comment was part of what sealed her fate. I had and continue to have a lot of faith in the American people even though I think we got it terribly wrong in 2020—despite my continued concerns that Trump may have actually won in 2020 as well. But that's water over the damn now. We just need to fix this massive mess we've been left. Luckily, we will be able to do that now.

Americans have made their choice. After a century plus , an ex-President wins an election to become a president. Interesting to see both times he defeated candidates from opposite gender . Noticed you did not mention "Americans of Indian Orgin/ Asian Americans" . I do not think Kamal Harris got all the support from Asian or Indian Americans although they are minorities. In any case, for the economy , Trump would be a better choice. Plus , Kamala did not have any strong ideas of how she could turn around things. Trump also could help position US in some of the International challenges. Lets hope for the best!

America is a melting pot. If I included everyone mentioning demographics my comment would be 42 pages long. As for Asian Americans, they tend to vote Republican anyway, so I would not expect her to get them in any event. But I agree with everything you said here, and apparently so did 72 million Americans so far.
