Ridgewood NJ, in a stunning election night, former President Donald Trump is set to return to the White House, securing more than the 270 electoral votes needed to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris and clinch the presidency. As of 4:15 a.m. ET, Trump held 267 electoral votes, and his numbers quickly climbed as key swing states were called in his favor, according to the Associated Press.
This election cycle has been one of the most highly anticipated in recent history. It marked Trump’s third presidential run and included moments of intense drama, from an assassination attempt to a surprising candidate swap. Despite it all, Trump has emerged victorious, making history as only the second U.S. president to serve two nonconsecutive terms, a feat last achieved by Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s.
The Race to 270: Key States Secure Trump’s Win
With 134 million Americans voting, early results showed a tight race, but Trump solidified his lead by winning three crucial battleground states: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Harris, meanwhile, secured 224 electoral votes.
Ballots are still being counted in other close states, but Trump has maintained leads in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. Wisconsin, which was called in his favor just after 5:30 a.m., pushed Trump past the 270-vote threshold needed to claim victory. ABC News confirmed the win, and election experts noted that Trump may have also captured the popular vote.
A Historic Presidency, Round Two
Trump’s return to the Oval Office brings with it historic firsts. At 78 years old, he will be the oldest president sworn into office. He also becomes the first president with a criminal conviction to serve. In his first term, Trump enacted sweeping tax reforms, appointed three Supreme Court justices and over 200 federal judges, and brokered significant Middle East agreements like the Abraham Accords.
Republicans Sweep Congress
The election delivered a broader victory for the Republican Party, which regained the Senate majority and appears set to retain control of the House of Representatives. These wins give Trump and the GOP a powerful advantage in shaping policy over the next four years.
What’s Next?
Although unofficial, the results point to Trump’s impending return to the presidency. State officials must finalize and certify vote counts in the coming days, and the Electoral College will formally cast its votes on December 17. Congress will meet to confirm the results on January 6, officially sealing the outcome.

Make Liberals Cry Again!!!!
It was amazing at 3 o’clock in the morning to see this. Let’s make America great again and secure our safety. If you don’t like it, you can always move out.
Thank god. After the last 4 year disaster (Obama’s 3rd term as puppet masters for Dementia Joe and Kamala) we can turn the country around.
I had to switch channels last night to enjoy the sad faces on the likes of Mr. Rachel Maddow and the other fake news syncophants who promoted Kamala and hid Joes dementia
The icing on the cake will be watching her do her job as VP and certify the election Jan 6
MAGA
MAGA would be nice but I’ll settle for normal.
MAGA is (and should be) “Normal”.
Incredible night. I couldn’t sleep at all. Such a huge relief. Problem is I can’t even laugh this morning cuz my lib neighbors might get offended LOL but I will enjoy their long faces.
Let the leftist shenanigans begin.
screw them.
There is still Free Speech in America
Airport will be jammed with all those celebrities leaving the country
From your keyboard to God’s ears.
God bless President Trump!!!
The “educated” northeast is as stupid as kommiefornia!
RW is so stupid that they voted 60/40 for Kamala when she is literally unqualified to be president of the USA … and EVERYONE knows it.
Lots of hatred in the Democrat party.
It is absolutely incredible how so called “educated” stay at home moms, husband lawyers/doctors etc. and their neighbors are in such herd thinking mode and can’t make a difference between horrible and decent . They are in a state of complete brainwash and can’t bring themselves to even hearing Trump’s name, let alone listen to the things he has to say. They are a special case of crazy that would be perfect for a brain dysfunction study.
Plenty of panic attacks and bouts of depression and schizophrenia for the next 4 years and I won’t feel a bit sorry for them.

Victory! IN GOD WE TRUST!
You could love him or hate him, but he will make the United States safer and strong stronger again believe me it’s a big relief for many of us who have kids.
We would like to see what the mayor council manager health department do with regarding the health and well-being of the employees who worked at the toxic contaminated locations throughout the village. So far, nothing was conducted. Are they still going to play the same games and hide behind their attorney, or come to their senses?
There goes Murphy’s entitled job in the Harris administration……………………………………..
