Sorry, Chuck Schumer: You’re set to become Senate minority leader as Republicans recapture the Senate.
That’s darn cheery news for the nation, especially with Donald Trump winning the White House.
The GOP went into the race holding 49 seats to the Democrats’ 51 (including independents caucusing with them), with a near-lock to pick up more at least two seats. Sure enough, in West Virginia, Republican Jim Justice flipped the Democratic seat Sen. Joe Manchin left open — and did so in what seemed to be the making of a landslide.
In Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno beat incumbent Dem Sherrod Brown, with Tim Sheehy overwhelmingly expected to oust Sen. Jon Tester in Montana,

President Donald Trump is not the first president to return to the White House after losing a previous reelection bid, but he is the first to do it after being impeached twice and facing mass resignations of Cabinet secretaries at the close of his first term. The depths from which Trump has risen to regain the most powerful office in the world is a testament to his determination and skill as a communicator. But it is also a searing indictment of a political establishment that has ignored and condemned voters’ legitimate concerns about the direction of the country.

If Democrats had their way, Donald Trump wouldn’t be anywhere near the presidency again. So wrote MSNBC’s Hayes Brown on the eve of the 2024 election’s final day. But Trump is near the presidency — perhaps by decisive margins — and Democrats are apoplectic.
The “biggest contributor to the unease that millions of Americans have felt as Election Day approaches,” Brown wrote, is “that there is any tension about the outcome at all. The 2024 election should not be anywhere near as close as it appears, not with Trump’s name on the ballot for the third straight election.”

Voters across the pond are quickly realizing what a massive mistake they made by electing Sir Keir Starmer’s far-left, Labour government in the United Kingdom. America, you cannot afford to follow suit.
It’s only been three months since the left-wing Labour government took over from the corrupted ‘Conservative’ party and already taxes are soaring, crime – especially in major cities – is rampant, and mass migration continues to climb ever upward. The sleaze in the heart of government is part of our daily conversation, and I can’t help but look over at America and think to myself, “Gosh, I hope they aren’t going to go the same way.”

Kamala Harris isn’t just on track to lose the election; she could lose the popular vote too.
Two self-reinforcing voter trends are conspiring against Harris. One is that Republican mail-in ballots could further strengthen the Trump surge that has closed the last two presidential elections, allowing him to outperform his polling. The other is that, as it becomes increasingly clear Harris can’t win, her untested supporters don’t turn out to vote. Together, these trends could make reality what seemed unthinkable just weeks ago.
No Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote since 2004.

The New York Times Tech Guild that represents hundreds of the giant newspaper's tech staffers went on strike on Monday, one day before Election Day. The guild said in a statement that members would begin protesting outside the Times headquarters on a daily basis, beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, according to the New York Times.
The planned walkout came after a vote on Sept. 10 to go on strike at a critical juncture if a deal wasn't made: Election Week.

Not a single Democrat I speak with believes that Vice President Kamala Harris will win on Tuesday.
All hoped for an open convention in August to identify and select the best candidate possible, but they were denied. To that point, this past Thursday, The Hill featured a piece headlined, “Democrats start to point fingers even as they hope for Harris win.” A Democratic strategist is quoted as saying, “People are nervous, and they’re trying to cover their ass and get a little ahead of Election Day. It’s based on anxiety, stakes and the unique nature of this cycle. We didn’t have a traditional process for this election.

One could be forgiven for not noticing, but Vice President Kamala Harris did make her campaign’s closing argument speech Tuesday night in Washington, D.C. To be fair, the little notice it received is not entirely her fault, for as she was making her remarks to a big crowd, President Joe Biden was making his own remarks, calling all Trump supporters “garbage,” which drew everyone’s attention away from Harris.
Harris’s speech nevertheless deserves attention. This is not because it was an exception but because it was an entirely pedestrian and unexceptional dribble of words that could have been given by any other Democrat in the last 100 years.

The Democrats have been chasing the dragon for so long even they don’t know what they stand for anymore. Shaped by identity politics and social justice, Kamala Harris sure looks the part. But peel back even the surface layer, and there’s nothing - just the failed dreams of a utopia gone wrong.
No one says it better than Kenneth L. Khachigian at the Wall Street Journal:
Ms. Harris was unprepared to enter the rough and tumble of national politics and at the 11th hour relies on being propped up, as she has throughout her career, by patrons—Barack Obama, his operatives and a national media that is predominantly desperate to prevent Mr. Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats claim they are the party of freedom. In Harris’ interview on Club Shay Shay on Monday, she argued that people need to vote for her to preserve the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments, that Trump “wants to terminate the Constitution.”
Yet, on the First Amendment, Harris previously called for government “oversight or regulation” of social media to stop what she calls misinformation. In 2022, her vice-presidential nominee, Gov. Tim Walz, claimed: “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.”

Democratic insiders and strategists heading into the final hours of the election are expressing confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris will defeat former President Donald Trump on Tuesday at the ballot box. "Nauseously optimistic," is how Democrats described themselves to New York magazine as the clock continues ticking for the final 100 hours of the election cycle.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) activated the National Guard to be on stand-by in the event it is asked to support local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol during election week, a press release issued Friday said.
The National Guard will be activated from Nov. 4 to 7 until just after midnight, according to the release. The adjutant general will determine how many members of the Guard will be called.
