Hattip Skidmark. The details below the article are just to get the situation on record, not because anything is significantly changed. [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump officially flipped the state of Arizona on Saturday to sweep all seven swing states in the 2024 presidential election. In addition to a remarkable win to take back the White House, Tuesday's election also saw Republicans take the Senate and the party is well on the way to retaining its majority in the House. With 87 % of the votes counted in Arizona, the AP had Trump at 52.6 percent of the votes counted with Kamala Harris on 46.4 percent. The state had previously been won by now-President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. The nationwide results will hand Trump virtually unchecked power when he takes his oath of office in January. The Supreme Court, which includes an unprecedented three appointees from Trump, maintains a nine to three conservative majority. After months of neck-and-neck polling with Vice President Kamala Harris in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan, Trump won every single battleground state. With 312 Electoral College votes, Trump's shocking and decisive win saw him earning the largest margin of victory since the 1988 election for President George H. W. Bush. In 2016, six of the seven 2024 swing states went red for Trump with the exception of Nevada. Then in the 2020 cycle, all of the states flipped blue except for right-leaning North Carolina. This year, Trump took all 93 Electoral College votes across the major battlegrounds and turned Nevada red for the first time in a decade. All sorts of details about the vote counting since the polls closed on Election Day at the link. Current Numbers as of Nov. 10 at 1:13 a.m. President (Electoral College Votes/Total Votes) 270 EC votes to win Harris: 226 / 70,986,325 Trump: 312 / 74,706,124 Senate 51 for majority Democrats: 47 (-3 seats) Republicans: 52 (+3 seats) Independent: 2 It looks like Pennsylvania has not formally declared that the Republican won. House218 for majority Democrats: 209 (+0) Republicans: 216 (+0) Governors Of the 11 governors’ mansions up for election this time, the Republicans won 8 and the Democrats won 3. |
