    I don't understand how they have called CA for Harris. They haven't counted any votes. Of course, everyone knows that she will get those electoral votes but it seems shady.

    That's good news. The last comment I saw on another forum had him behind.

    Fox has just called the election for Trump. At this time he has 277 electoral votes. Now I can go to bed.

    AND he's won the popular vote by a significant margin...although AP is still stuck on 248 electoral votes.

    I checked all the major news outlets... NONE except Fox have conceded that he's the winner.

    A number of places have called it for Trump. Even the New York Times said he was over 95% likely to win before they stopped coverage. A number of organizations, the largest of which was Turning Point USA, pledged to stay with the election to prevent the ballot dumping that occurred in 2020. They said they would not go to bed ahead only to wake up and find they had lost.

    NYT said he was over 95% likely to win but doesn't call elections anymore just like they don't endorse candidates. Most of the channels want coverage to be dragged out !) to allow cheating to take place and 2) to enhance their revenue by keeping the ads going and people "glued" to the TV.

    The AP still has him at 267, needing 270 to win, but Trump is leading in each of the five states they haven't called. I'm still waiting for the after-the-election surprise. Now that they know what they need, there is still time for the Democrats to "discover" a few truckloads of uncounted ballots, all cast for Harris, or maybe a court will make some dumb-ass ruling that the Supreme Court will opt not to get involved in. I'm going back to bed and hope to wake up in a free country.

    This is a pretty wide spread I'm seeing here, but I know there is always a chance the Left will pull something, it just seems to me that God is in this, and it sure looks like "we the people" have spoken this time, too big to rig is my thinking.

    When it's all done, Trump might be over 300 Electoral Votes.

    OK, on to the next one. So will the GOP get behind Vance for 2028 ? And who would he pick as his VP ? For that matter, who would the Dems run in 28 ? ....... Harris again ?

    Just a side note ... It is said that local turnout was 28-30 % less than in 2020.

    Need to edit ....... they [the news later said] it was 28-30 thousand less votes cast. Not 28-30 percent.

    I was set to accept God's Will, no matter which way it went but if God is NOT in this amazingly loud message that our country has received the biggest blessing I've seen in my lifetime, I will eat that MAGA Hat :D God Bless America, Donald Trump, his family, and all the people that did the hard work in this election!! All the countries that are with us, and prayed for us, God bless them too!!

    I'm not surprised Kamala is MIA but I began praying for the Left, hardest prayers I ever prayed, but our country is in for a rough 4 years, I don't kid myself about that. So I'll continue to pray, God has a reason for all things under heaven, I'm just relieved my prayers must have aligned with His will ;)
