Not Tired Of Winning, Trump Captures Arizona’s 11 Electoral Votes

Former President Donald Trump is projected to win Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, flipping a state President Joe Biden won during the 2020 contest. The call was made Saturday night by the Associated Press and other legacy media outlets. With 87 percent of votes tabulated, preliminary results show Trump with 52.6 percent of the vote, compared […]

Trump Becomes First GOP Presidential Candidate To Win Nevada Since 2004

President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004. According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The […]

Trump takes every battleground state in 2024 election



President-elect Donald Trump secured sweeping victories in every battleground state, including Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The election results for Arizona and Nevada were the last ones to be confirmed, with some media outlets, like the New York Times and the Associated Press, still holding off their announcements as of Thursday afternoon.

'This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!'

However, according to Decision Desk HQ, Trump defeated Harris in Arizona by 5.5 points with 75% of the ballots tallied.

Decision Desk HQ reported that Trump also took Nevada by more than 3.5 points with 95% of the votes counted.

Trump's win in Arizona and Nevada added 17 more electoral votes to his total, pushing him well over the 270 threshold required to secure the presidency. Trump's final count is expected to be 312 electoral votes against Vice President Kamala Harris' 226.

Trump also ran away with the popular vote, securing at least 4.5 million more supporters than his rival.

In the 2016 presidential election, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 3.5 points in Arizona. Despite Maricopa County's gradual shift toward the Democrats, Trump still managed to lead there by 2.9 points. In the previous presidential election, President Joe Biden defeated Trump in Arizona by less than half a point by picking up Maricopa County.

On Monday, Trump won the swing county by three points, with 77% of the ballots tallied. The Democratic stronghold counties, including Coconino, Apache, Pima, and Santa Cruz, went to Harris. Trump won the other 10 Arizona counties.

Both Biden and Clinton clinched Nevada by 2.4 points in the last two presidential races, thanks to their wins in Washoe and Clark Counties. However, on Monday, Trump flipped Washoe County, securing his victory in the state.

On Wednesday, Elon Musk wrote on X, "Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states! Massive red wave success!"

He noted that Republicans won the presidency, popular vote, Senate majority, House majority, state governor majority, and the state legislature majority.

"The few states that didn't go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence," Musk continued. "This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!"

It is still unclear whether the Republicans will hold the House and whether Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) will defeat her opponent, Ruben Gallego (D), in the Arizona race to replace retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I).

Arizona counties ran into several speed bumps throughout the voting process.

The Navajo Nation in Apache County requested that polling centers stay open an additional two hours due to issues with the ballot-on-demand printers. A judge granted its request.

There were also a number of hoax bomb threats made to several polling locations.

Center for American Liberty founder and CEO Harmeet Dhillon told Glenn Beck on Tuesday evening that she expected Maricopa County to take up to two weeks to count all its ballots.

"That's because they're allowed to do that under the law," she explained.

Elissa Slotkin narrowly wins Michigan US Senate seat



Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin defeated Republican challenger Mike Rogers Wednesday in the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

Slotkin secured her electoral victory by 48.6%, while Rogers pulled in 48.3%, according to Politico. Although Democrats have held onto the contested Michigan Senate seat, Republicans have managed to flip seats in Montana, West Virginia, and Ohio, securing the GOP's majority.

Democrats have dominated the Michigan Senate seats for decades, but Rogers was able to narrow Slotkin's nearly six-point polling advantage from August to just a 0.3 point margin on Election Day.

The Michigan Senate seat was one of four races rated "toss-ups" by Cook Political Report going into Election Day, alongside Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Crucial demographics may hold the key to a Trump victory as race tightens



Key voting blocs that have voted reliably blue are underperforming compared to previous election cycles, which could send warning signs to Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. At the same time, increased turnout from some reliably red demographics could give former President Donald Trump the edge he needs.

One of the most glaring disadvantages for Democrats going into the election is the comparatively low turnout from urban voters. At this point in the race, there is a 12.8-point deficit in urban voter turnout across battlegrounds compared to 2020. Rural voter turnout is comparatively higher, with just a 3.9-point difference.

This could be particularly harmful for Democrats this election cycle, given that the majority of urban voters are Democratic and a majority of rural voters are Republican.

Although early voter turnout looks rosy for the Trump camp, the race is still too close to call.

"Regardless of how we slice and dice the demographics, rural voters are going to be very supportive of the former president," Jon McHenry, a GOP polling analyst and vice president at North Star Opinion Research, told Blaze News. "Urban voters won't vote in lockstep, but they will be disproportionately in support of Kamala Harris, so that demographic turnout is going to matter."

There is also a partisan divide between male and female voters, as men tend to lean more Republican while women lean more Democratic. Although women vote in greater numbers than men do, they are underperforming this election cycle, which could throw a wrench into Harris' chances.

"It's not just a 'get out the vote rally.' It's a 'you've got to vote because of X, Y, and Z," McHenry told Blaze News. "There's definitely a bit more urgency than what we would normally see from Democrats at this stage of the race."

Women voters dipped down by 7.9 points across swing states compared to 2020, while men dipped down by seven points. Even though more women have voted than men, their deficit combined with slipping male support could put Harris' campaign in jeopardy.

Declines in black and Hispanic votes could also put Harris in trouble. Compared to 2020, there is a 10.1-point turnout deficit among black voters in battlegrounds and an 11.7-point decline among Latino voters. Given that both Hispanic and black voters have overwhelmingly voted for Democrats in the past, this decline could threaten Harris' campaign.

Harris has certainly taken notice of this trend. Over the past month, her campaign has released a tailored "opportunity agenda" for both black and Hispanic men.

"The idea that there's this sort of opportunity agenda targeted at specific demographics, and the fact that Kamala Harris has drafted Barack Obama to turn out black males and essentially extending her reach to get people to turn out, shows that they're definitely concerned about getting the traditional Democratic base out to the polls," McHenry told Blaze News.

Although early voter turnout looks rosy for the Trump camp, the race is still too close to call.

"Like most poker players would say, just give me one of the hands, and I'll beat you with that," McHenry told Blaze News. "Honestly, it really is so close that it's hard to say."

Former Obama campaign manager sounds the alarm that early voting numbers are 'scary' for Kamala, Democrats are 'panicking'



Democrats are panicking over the early voting results for the Kamala Harris campaign, according to the former campaign manager for Barack Obama.

Jim Messina — a Democratic political operative who ran then-President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign — noted that early voting results are "scary" for the Harris campaign during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC's "Inside with Jen Psaki."

'This is unprecedented in Georgia history.'

When asked what the major concerns were for the Harris campaign days before the election, Messina responded, "The early vote numbers are a little scary."

"Republicans didn't do what they did last time," Messina added. "Last time, Trump said don't early-vote, so they didn't. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early votes come in, it's going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that's scary."

Messina confessed that the early vote totals have caused lots of his "friends to call me panicking" when comparing the data to 2020.

However, Messina noted that Democrats are excited about the early turnout of two key voting blocs: women and young voters.

"Women voters make up 55% of the early voters, and in the past 10 days, young voters in these battleground states are coming out in what looks to be, for early votes, historic numbers," Messina stated.

At the time of publication, more than 78 million Americans have voted early, according to statistics from the University of Florida's Election Lab. Over 42 million in-person early votes have been cast, and more than 35 million mail-in ballots have been returned across the country.

Based on states with party registration, nearly 38% have been by Democrats, 36% were Republicans, and 26% did not have any political party affiliation or supported minority parties.

In early voting results, 54% were women and 43% were men.

During the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump won the male vote against President Joe Biden: 53% to 45%, according to CNN. Biden easily surpassed Trump in the women's vote: 57% to 42%.

Stats from 2020 show that 8% were ages 18-25, 16% were 26-40, 39% were 41-65, and nearly 36% were over the age of 65 years old.

In battleground states, early voting is up 80% in Georgia compared to the 2020 election, 80% in North Carolina, 76% in Nevada, nearly 65% in Arizona, 53% in Michigan, 45% in Wisconsin, and 25% in Pennsylvania.

The Georgia Secretary of State's website said, "As of Saturday morning, 92 Georgia counties have exceeded 50% turnout. This is unprecedented in Georgia history."

In Arizona, Republicans have nearly a 188,000 vote-return lead over Democrats, according to early voting totals compiled by UpLift Campaigns.

In North Carolina, Republicans have less than a 1% lead over Democrats.

In Nevada, Republicans have a 4% advantage over Democrats in early voting.

In Pennsylvania, Democrats have roughly a 400,000 vote lead over Republicans. During the 2020 election, Pennsylvania Democrats had more than 1 million more mail-in ballots than Republicans.

Early voting has traditionally been favored by Democrats.

Trump and Harris deliver closing remarks



With just one day to go, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are closing out their historic campaigns.

A new ad titled "It's the people that Make America Great" was unveiled Sunday, featuring Republicans, former Democrats, and independents all uniting behind Trump.

"What will we do with this moment?" Trump asked. "How will we be remembered? Look at the opportunities before us."

'The people dreamed this country, and it's the people who are making America great again.'

"This election really isn't about the left versus the right," former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said in the ad. "It's about we, the people, choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny."

The ad also featured former Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, uniting behind Trump.

"What is going on here is deeper than politics," Shanahan said. "It is deeply spiritual. We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil."

Republicans like Trump's running mate, JD Vance, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as well as Tesla founder and X CEO Elon Musk were also included in the ad.

"We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat other people as we hope to be treated," Trump's running mate, JD Vance, said.

"The people dreamed this country, and it's the people who are making America great again," Trump said.

Trump has also delivered a disciplined closing message on the campaign trail, reminding voters of his economic and immigration policies and how they contrast with Harris'. Over the past few months leading up to the election, polls have consistently shown the economy and immigration to be top priorities for voters, who also trust Trump over Harris to handle those issues.

Trump also spent his Sunday campaigning in three crucial swing states: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. As of this writing, Trump is ahead in all three of those battlegrounds by 0.3, 1.5, and 1.9 points respectively, according to RealClearPolling averages.

Harris, on the other hand, spent her Sunday campaigning in Michigan. In addition to some economic proposals, Harris largely focused her closing pitch on issues like "reproductive freedom," legalizing recreational marijuana, and reminding voters of her middle-class background.

Notably, Harris' most significant lead across the seven swing states is in Michigan, where she leads Trump by an average of 1.2 points. Harris is also ahead by an average of 0.4 points in Wisconsin, although Trump leads in the remaining battlegrounds and has an edge nationally.

This is still anyone's race. All the polls are within the margin of error, implying this race is essentially deadlocked. Trump has made significant gains with crucial voting blocs this cycle, but most pundits are still calling this race a coin toss.

Heading into the home stretch, Harris is making multiple pit stops in Pennsylvania, arguably the most important swing state given its 19 electoral votes. She will be joined by celebrities like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Oprah Winfrey. Trump will also be stopping in Pennsylvania as well as North Carolina and Michigan.

Record-breaking turnout in this key demographic could sway the election



When it comes to early voting, rural voters are turning out in droves, while urban voters' participation is declining in key battleground states. Given that rural voters tend to lean Republican and urban voters lean Democratic, this trend could be particularly consequential going into the election.

Since 2020, there has been over a six-point increase in rural early voting across the seven battlegrounds, while urban early voting decreased by over seven points, according to data from TargetEarly. Suburban voters only increased by about one point from 2020 across the seven swing states.

With just two days to go until the election, this may turn the tide in former President Trump's favor.

There is a partisan split between rural and urban voters, which could shift the electoral outcome, and it has only widened over the last two decades.

Suburban voters have been split down the middle for the past two decades, with 50% identifying as Republican or Republican-leaning and 47% identifying as Democratic or Democrat-leaning, according to a Pew Research study from April.

Urban voters have a larger partisan gap, leaning heavily toward Democrats. In 1994, 58% of urban voters identified as Democratic or Democrat-leaning, while 39% identified as Republican or Republican-leaning, according to the study. The partisan gap widened slightly by 2023, with 60% of urban voters identifying as Democratic and 37% identifying as Republican.

The partisan gap among rural voters used to be extremely narrow, with 51% identifying as Republican or Republican-leaning and 45% identifying as Democratic or Democrat-leaning, according to the study. Since then, just 35% identify as Democrats, while 60% identify as Republicans.

While urban voters, who are mostly Democratic, are participating at a lower rate in battleground states compared to 2020, rural voters, who are mostly Republican, have a higher turnout rate. With just two days to go until the election, this may turn the tide in former President Trump's favor.

Trump and Harris hold dueling rallies in Rust Belt



Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris made appearances across the Rust Belt on Friday but had very different messages for voters.

Both Trump and Harris held rallies in Wisconsin, with the Republican also making a pit stop in Michigan. In a race that will largely be decided by undecided voters or key demographics that may be up for grabs, the candidates have chosen contrasting messages to close with.

How does she plan to improve the state of affairs for Americans, and as sitting vice president, why hasn't she?

"Oh, it's good to be in the house of labor!" Harris remarked at her rally in Janesville, Wisconsin.

"I proudly stand with labor. I have my whole entire career. I always will," Harris continued. "This is about the dignity of work. It is about America's work force. It is about our future. And it's just about what is right."

Notably, the jobs report was released the same day, revealing that the Biden-Harris administration added only 12,000 more jobs in the month of October. This is the lowest increase since 2020.

Harris also put forth a last-ditch economic pitch to rally-goers in Little Chute, Wisconsin, promising to implement a middle-class tax and a federal ban on corporate price-gouging on groceries.

It's clear the Harris camp is tailoring its message to voters' priorities, as the economy ranks the most important issue going into November. However, the Achilles' heel of the Harris campaign has been this very issue. How does she plan to improve the state of affairs for Americans, and as sitting vice president, why hasn't she already done so?

Harris closed out her Rust Belt tour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with celebrity appearances and endorsements from rappers like Cardi B and GloRilla.

"Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog," Cardi B said. "I've been underestimated. My success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something. Let me tell y'all something. Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still, people question us, how we got to the top."

Cardi B went on to speak about abortion "rights," an issue the Democratic Party has made a focal point for the Harris campaign.

“Donny Dump, if your definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it," she said.

Trump, on the other hand, has spent time securing a key demographic in Michigan: Muslim and Arab voters. In the aftermath of Trump's Thursday campaign stop in Dearborn, a Muslim-majority city, left-wing politicians like Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan sounded the alarm for her own party.

"Trump is a proud Islamophobe + serial liar who does not stand for peace. The reality is that the Biden admin’s unconditional support for genocide is what got us here," Tlaib said in a post on X. "This should be a wake-up call for those who continue to support genocide. This election should not be this close."

Although Tlaib expressed her vehement opposition to the Republican nominee, she pointed out a key weakness within her own party. Harris' campaign has been weighed down by the Israel-Gaza conflict and the administration's apparent inability to resolve it.

Although Muslims and Arabs may have been a reliable demographic for Democrats to secure, the ongoing war has turned many away from Harris. This could be particularly detrimental for Democrats in key states like Michigan that have a substantial Arab population. Harris knows this, and Trump is capitalizing on it.

Trump also took time to counterprogram Harris in Milwaukee. Trump hit on recurring themes like illegal immigration and using tariffs to protect American workers and punish foreign adversaries. The campaign stops were wrapped up with a hopeful closing message.

"My closing message is that I love America, and I'm inviting you to join us in building an extraordinary future," Trump said. "My oath of office is an oath of allegiance to you, the American people. I'm asking for your vote, but I want you to know that whether or not you vote for me, when I win, I will fight for you with every breath of my body."

"Everything we have been fighting for these last four years comes down to these next four days," Trump continued. "With your help, from now until Election Day, we will restore America's promise, and we will take back the nation that we love."

On Saturday, Trump is continuing his campaign with rallies in Gastonia, North Carolina, and Salem, Virginia. He will then return back to North Carolina to hold a rally in Greensboro.

Harris is traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, to hold a rally and then later to Charlotte, North Carolina.

Trump and Harris make pit stops in states that will decide the election



Just four days out from the election, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are holding dueling campaign events through crucial battleground states.

Yesterday on the trail, Trump held rallies in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Henderson, Nevada, and appeared alongside Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona. As the campaign season wraps up, Trump touched on policy priorities like immigration and the economy while also making a point to hammer his opponent and her supporters.

'Look, she's a deranged person, but the reason she couldn't stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. I don't want to go to war.'

"There are some people who thrive under pressure, and there are some people who crack under pressure," Trump said of Harris in Albuquerque. "She's a cracker."

“Are you better now than you were four years ago?" Trump asked the crowd in Henderson, to which many responded "no."

Apart from Trump's usual rally appearances, two moments stood out for the former president yesterday.

Trump's most notable comments from his Thursday campaign stops took place in Arizona at an event alongside Carlson. The former president criticized former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, for her and her father's hawkish track record on foreign policy as well as her endorsement of Harris.

"Well, I think it hurts Kamala a lot actually," Trump said of Cheney's endorsement. "Look, she's a deranged person, but the reason she couldn't stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. I don't want to go to war."

"She's a radical war hawk," Trump continued. "Let's put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face? You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, 'Oh, gee, well, let's send, let's send, 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'"

Trump was clearly calling out Cheney's hawkish foreign policy. It's a lot easier to hold Cheney's worldview when you're able to call the shots from a cushy federal job, but she would likely have a different opinion if she was thrown into active combat. That is obviously the comparison Trump was making, full context of the clip shows.

Like clockwork, countless headlines from the corporate and mainstream media attacked Trump for "using violent language," called his comments "firing squad threats," and insinuated that he wanted to attack Cheney.

"This is how dictators destroy free nations," Cheney said in response. "They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."

On the note of questionable endorsements, American businessman and Harris supporter Mark Cuban criticized the women in and around the Trump camp.

"Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever," Cuban told "The View" Thursday. "It's just that simple."

"Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong," Trump said in response to Cuban's comments. "This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly."

"I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a 'baby!'" Trump continued. "All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement."

As for Trump's running mate, JD Vance followed in the former president's footsteps and made an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. In the over three hour-long episode released Thursday, Vance came off cool, calm, collected, and importantly, likable. In between exchanges on policy, Vance let listeners in on his personal life and shared familial anecdotes with Rogan. The podcast amassed over 7.5 million views in fewer than 24 hours.

While Harris has yet to make her long-anticipated appearance on Rogan's show (an appearance which is still up in the air), she held competing rallies in Phoenix, Arizona, and Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. Harris racked up another celebrity endorsement from Jennifer Lopez in Vegas and was briefly interrupted by protesters in Phoenix and again in Reno.

Harris stuck to her usual talking points, emphasizing the importance of women's "choices," a euphemism for abortion, and boasting about "fighting for democracy."

The two candidates are now headed to the Rust Belt. Harris is traveling from Vegas to Wisconsin, where she is scheduled to hold events in Janesville and in Little Chute. Afterward, Harris will be hopping over to hold a concert rally in West Allis alongside rappers Cardi B, Glorilla, and Flo Milli, to name a few.

Trump is making stops to hold rallies in Warren, Michigan, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
