Donald Trump wins North Carolina, kneecapping Kamala’s path to the White House

President Donald Trump has won North Carolina once again, picking up the key battleground state’s 16 electoral votes.

Around 9:22 p.m. ET, the Decision Desk HQ called the Tar Heel state for Trump. The Associated Press subsequently called it around 11:20 p.m. ET. At the time of publication, Trump had a comfortable lead, 50.8% to 48.1% with 88% of the votes counted

Jill Stein of the Green Party and Libertarian Chase Oliver both failed to clinch half a percentage point.

Exit polls indicated that the sexes split as expected, with 57% of men voting for Trump and 56% of women voting for Kamala Harris, reported NBC News. Trump secured roughly 61% of the white vote, 12% of the black vote, and 48% of the Hispanic vote.

Trump even made history: He won Anson County, which is more than 44% black. A Republican has won that county in a presidential election only once since the 1870s.

According to the Associated Press, the issues that decided the election in North Carolina were the economy, immigration, abortion, and health care, in that order.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod recently told Mike Murphy of the podcast “Hacks on Tap” that if Harris won North Carolina, Trump, who held some of his final rallies in the state, would be “in deep trouble.” It appears that Harris now has major troubles of her own.

Republican North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was not so fortunate, trailing the state’s Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein by roughly 13 percentage points.

Republicans Brad Knott, Richard Hudson, Tim Moore, David Rouzer, Mark Harris, Pat Harrigan, Virginia Foxx, Addison McDowell, Greg Murphy, and Chuck Edwards all appear to have locked down or kept seats in the U.S. Congress.

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect that a Republican presidential candidate has won Anson County once since the 1870s. A previous version claimed no Republican had won it since the 1870s.

Republican takes back longtime blue Ohio US Senate seat

Republican candidate Bernie Moreno defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio Tuesday night, flipping another crucial Senate seat.

Moreno won 50.5% of the vote while Moreno secured 46.1% of the vote, according to Politico. At the time of this writing, Republicans have now flipped two Senate seats, regaining their majority from the Democrats.

Brown, who was first elected as one of Ohio’s two senators since 2006, was projected to be the winner early on in the race. As November approached, Moreno closed in on Brown’s lead and actually surpassed him in the polls by a few points.

Moreno was supported by former President Donald Trump’s endorsement as well as the Republican nominee’s strong performance in Ohio.

Moreno originally ran for Ohio Senate in 2022 but later dropped out, allowing then-Republican candidate turned Trump running mate JD Vance to secure the electoral victory.

Fani Willis — the Georgia prosecutor who aggressively went after Trump — overwhelmingly wins re-election

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis — the Georgia prosecutor who brought charges against former President Donald Trump — has won her bid for re-election in overwhelming fashion.

Willis — a noted Democrat incumbent — defeated Republican challenger Courtney Kramer on Tuesday. Willis easily defeated Kramer by a whopping margin of nearly 68% to 32%.

Trump’s lawyers have called for Willis to be removed from the case due to her seeming conflict of interest because of her ‘personal relationship’ with Nathan Wade.

Fulton County is a Democratic stronghold that includes most of Atlanta, which has 11% of the state’s electorate.

Kramer was an intern in the White House counsel’s office during the Trump presidency and is active in Republican activist organizations.

Willis won her election in 2021 after defeating her former boss — District Attorney Paul Howard — in the primary. She was not challenged by a Republican in that election.

Willis made a name for herself by launching an investigation into Trump. Willis’ office indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants in August 2023 on felony charges related to alleged attempts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

Four individuals have pleaded guilty after reaching plea deals with prosecutors.

Willis has weaponized racketeering, or RICO, laws, to go after Trump and his allies.

Trump and the other defendants have pleaded not guilty in the case.

However, Trump’s lawyers have called for Willis to be removed from the case due to her seeming conflict of interest because of her “personal relationship” with Nathan Wade — a special prosecutor whom she hired.

The Georgia Court of Appeals plans to hear oral arguments in the Willis case against Trump beginning on Dec. 5.

Willis said she wants to serve three terms as district attorney and then move on to teaching at her undergraduate alma mater — Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Over 30,000 ballots in Milwaukee need to be recounted after likely ‘human error’

More than 30,000 ballots in Milwaukee need to be recounted after a likely “human error,” according to local election officials.

Approximately 31,000 ballots need to be retabulated in Milwaukee after issues were reportedly discovered with tabulator seals.

‘This is an unacceptable example of incompetent election administration in a key swing state.’

The tens of thousands of early absentee and in-person ballots were allegedly affected by all 13 tabulators.

According to WITI-TV, Milwaukee spokesperson Jeff Fleming said the tabulators were sealed, but the doors to the machines were not closed properly. Fleming added that the issue could cause major delays.

“It’s just out of an abundance of caution,” Fleming stated. “We have no reason to believe that there was any compromise to any of the machines. But because they were not fully sealed, human error, and not fully sealed, we are going to zero them all out again, the 13 machines around, and then re-run the ballots that had already been processed.”

Fleming added, “What has to be redone is just what’s happening against the wall at the machines. It is gonna extend the time that we will get the totals here, we don’t know how much longer that will be. So it’s not insignificant.”

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and co-Chair Lara Trump issued a statement on Tuesday: “Throughout the day we have been monitoring slow ballot counting in Milwaukee. Now, our legal team has learned that the counting took place in insecure conditions and the city now has to start over, wildly extending the counting timeline. This is an unacceptable example of incompetent election administration in a key swing state: voters deserve better and we are unambiguously calling on Milwaukee’s officials to do their jobs and count ballots quickly and effectively. Anything less undermines voter confidence.”

Election workers in Milwaukee have been counting ballots since 9 a.m. on Election Day.

Wisconsin is a battleground state with a razor-tight margin between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

‘Queen of the garbage people’: Roseanne Barr PREDICTS election aftermath

After President Joe Biden labeled half the country as “garbage,” Roseanne Barr has taken on a new title. That is the “Queen of the Garbage People,” and she’s proud of it.

“I’m feeling royal,” Barr tells Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program.” “That Biden guy, he is the gift that keeps on giving.” However, while she identifies with the “garbage” Trump supporters, she is concerned that the country is only getting more divided.

“We don’t all have to think exactly alike because this is a free country where we have liberty and freedom of speech,” she tells Glenn.

But what will happen after the election?

“If he wins, the mainstream media I think is over. There won’t be a government to save them and bail them out,” Glenn says, adding, “If she wins, I think we’re doomed.”

Barr is in full agreement, telling Glenn that if Kamala wins, we’re looking at a “Planet of the Apes” situation.

“It’s a very popular movie, but it’s about a militarized police force that comes and locks you up for saying the wrong thing. That’s what it’s basically about. It’s about fascism, and if she wins, number one, or two, there’ll be another lockdown immediately,” she warns.

“They’ve got to get their ducks in a row for what they’re doing, which is siphoning public money and putting it into private pockets. That’s what they’re about, that’s what Marxism is, and I wish people would understand that,” she adds.

Glenn is on the same page, noting that everything the liberals used to stand for is what conservatives stand for now.

“It’s amazing to me how really, the conservatives and liberals have switched places on almost everything,” he tells Barr. “It’s crazy how we’re not with the big business, they are. We’re not for big war, they are.”

“We’re not for forced injections by people that are headquartered in Germany, hello,” Barr adds.

Florida stays red: Trump wins key state

Around 8:00 p.m. ET on Election Day, with 88% of the vote tallied, NBC News and the Associated Press declared former President Donald Trump the projected winner of the key state of Florida.

As of that reporting, Trump received 55.8% of the votes to opponent Vice President Kamala Harris’ 43.4%.

The victory scored Trump 30 electoral votes. Candidates will need to receive 270 electoral votes — a majority of the 538 total — to secure the presidency.

In 2020, Trump won the battleground state with 51.2% of the vote.

This time around, Trump flipped Duval and Pinellas Counties red. Trump previously lost both of the counties to President Joe Biden. Duval County is considered a bellwether for Georgia.

Trump wiped the floor with Harris in Miami-Dade County by 11 points after previously losing to Biden by seven points.

Governor Ron DeSantis wrote on X, “Polls have closed in Florida. @realDonaldTrump has carried the state of Florida and has earned 30 electoral votes.”

Hillsborough County, a Democratic stronghold in previous presidential election cycles, also appeared to flip for Trump by the time the results were called.

Also in Florida, Republican incumbent Senator Rick Scott defeated Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by 11 points. In the House race, Republicans secured 17 seats, and Democrats walked away with six. Five seats were still up for grabs around 8:00 p.m. ET.

‘PRAISE GOD!’ Florida defeats radicals’ attempt to enshrine nearly limitless abortion as a right

A coalition comprising the ACLU of Florida, Planned Parenthood, Florida Women’s Freedom Coalition, and various other radical outfits campaigned to scrap legal protections for the unborn and effectively legalize late-term abortion through a constitutional amendment to Florida’s Declaration of Rights.

They failed.

The voters had their say Tuesday and said “no” to
Amendment 4.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who campaigned against the amendment, announced its defeat just after 8 p.m., prompting a flood of appreciative comments online as well as a
meme from his press secretary depicting DeSantis lording over the Florida Democratic Party’s symbolic grave.

At the time of publication, 88% of votes were in, and the amendment had netted less than 57.2% of the vote. 42.9% of voters opposed the amendment. 60% of the vote was needed for passage.

“Thank you, Florida!”
tweeted Florida’s first lady Casey DeSantis. “And God bless @GovRonDesantis!”

Christina Pushaw, an aide to DeSantis,
wrote, “Florida makes history again. We have defeated the Soros-backed abortion amendment and the corporate-backed weed amendment.”

‘Amendment 4 is a radical, gruesome abortion policy that would allow abortion up to the moment of birth.’

It appears that the rest of the state was not nearly as keen on stripping unborn children of legal protections as the residents of Broward, Leon, Orange, and Palm Beach Counties.

Had the ballot measure secured the 60% of the vote needed to pass, the people’s democratically elected representatives would be prohibited from passing any law banning, penalizing, delaying, or restricting abortion “before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

Critics noted that the wording of the amendment was intentionally vague, setting the stage for virtually unrestricted abortion in the Sunshine State.

Taryn Fenske, a spokeswoman for the group that fought the amendment to the end, Vote No on Amendment 4, previously
told Blaze News that the reason for the amendment’s “misleading language” was “because the Soros-backed radicals pushing Amendment 4 know that they need to conceal the shocking reality of how their scheme would endanger women and children in Florida.”

Amendment 4 would also have undone the Heartbeat Protection Act, which bans the slaying of unborn babies after six weeks of pregnancy, unless the mother is a victim of rape, incest, or human trafficking; the mother’s life is in danger; or the baby has a fatal fetal abnormality.

Since the amendment has failed, the Heartbeat Protection Act remains the law of the land.

Liz Wheeler, host of BlazeTV’s “The Liz Wheeler Show,” previously told Blaze News, “Amendment 4 is a radical, gruesome abortion policy that would allow abortion up to the moment of birth. This means big, healthy, full-term babies would be aborted for any reason.”

“Amendment 4 is dishonestly presented as allowing abortion ‘just’ until viability — but what is viability?” continued Wheeler. “The term viability is not defined in the legislation, and viability is not a scientific or ethical concept about when a human life begins anyway, but simply a term that defines, on a moving scale as medical knowledge advances, our capacity to keep that baby alive outside the womb before the baby reaches full term.”

‘Tens of thousands of babies will now be saved.’

DeSantis
said in August, “If you care about building a culture of life in this state or this country, them winning in Florida, I think, really represents the end of the pro-life movement.”

The Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops condemned the amendment,
calling it “an extreme proposal that legalizes full-term abortion with no protections for the preborn child.”

“We urge all Floridians of goodwill to stand against the legalization of late-term abortion and oppose the abortion amendment,” continued the bishops’ statement. “In doing so, we will not only protect the weakest, most innocent, and defenseless of human life among us but also countless women throughout the state from the harms of abortion.”

As it became clear early on Tuesday that Amendment 4 would fail, CatholicVote
noted on X, “Huge win for Ron DeSantis. Huge win for life.”

Archbishop Thomas Wenski of the Archdiocese of Miami told Blaze News in advance that the defeat of Amendment 4 “would be a tremendous victory for Life and the rights of the unborn.”

“Tens of thousands of babies will now be saved because Florida’s Amendment 4 failed,”
tweeted Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life. “PRAISE GOD!”

5 voting locations in Georgia receive bomb threats, voting suspended

There were bomb threats made at five voting locations in Georgia, according to local authorities. Because of the bomb threats, voting was suspended.

The official website of DeKalb County released a statement regarding the seven bomb threats, including seven made in five voting precincts on Election Day.

County officials said the suspension of voting was a ‘precautionary measure for the safety of voters and poll workers.’

DeKalb County officials listed the following precincts as having received bomb threats:

New Bethel AME Church, 8350 Rockbridge Road, LithoniaNew Life Community Center, 3592 Flat Shoals Road, DecaturNorth DeKalb Senior Center, 3393 Malone Drive, ChambleeReid H. Cofer Library, 5234 Lavista Road, TuckerWesley Chapel Library, 2861 Wesley Chapel Road, Decatur

County officials noted that two other locations received bomb threats: the Salem Panola Library at 5137 Salem Road in Lithonia and the Old Sam’s Club in Stonecrest — which is not an active polling location.

The DeKalb County Police Department conducted bomb sweeps at the locations.

Voting was suspended at the locations targeted by the multiple bomb threats.

“Rest assured that we are working quickly to ensure every voter will have an opportunity to cast their ballot despite these bomb threats,” said DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Keisha Smith. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending voting at these polling locations until we have clearance from DeKalb Police to reopen the facilities.”

DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond added, “Every asset that we have will be deployed to ensure that every citizen who wants to vote will be given that opportunity and every vote cast will be counted.”

County officials said the suspension of voting was a “precautionary measure for the safety of voters and poll workers.”

DeKalb County officials stated, “Once each location is cleared, voters will be able to re-enter the facility and cast their ballots.”

County officials noted, “The DeKalb County Law Department is in the process of seeking an emergency order extending the voting times at the affected polling locations.”

On Tuesday, the FBI said there had been fake “Russian bomb threats” made to polling places in the swing states of Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

“The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains,” the FBI said in a press release, according to the Daily Mail.

The FBI noted that none of the threats have been “determined to be credible thus far.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said earlier on Tuesday, “Georgia is not going to be intimidated. Russia just decided they picked on the wrong Georgia. They need to pick on the other one in the Black Sea because we’re no going to be intimidated, but we’re just excited about where we are right now.”

West Virginia Senate seat flips red as Joe Machin​ retires

Republican Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia defeated Democratic challenger Glenn Elliott Tuesday in the race to replace retiring Democratic turned independent U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin.

Although the seat was previously held by a Democrat, Republicans easily flipped the seat red, giving the GOP an edge to regain the Senate majority.

Manchin first won the seat as a Democrat in 2010 and has served in the Senate ever since. Manchin later switched his party affiliation from Democrat to independent in May of this year.

“I have never seen America through a partisan lens,” Manchin said in a statement. “However, since becoming a United States Senator in 2010, I have seen both the Democrat and Republican parties leave West Virginia and our country behind for partisan extremism while jeopardizing our democracy.

“Today, our national politics are broken, and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin continued. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.

Although Justice’s predecessor was previously a Democrat, West Virginia was projected to be an overwhelming win for Republicans leading up to the election.

Biden won’t attend Kamala’s election night watch party

President Joe Biden will not attend the election night watch party of his vice president — Kamala Harris.

A White House official told the Washington Examiner, “Tonight, the president and first lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff. The president will receive regular updates on the state of races across the country.”

Kamala’s election night watch party is being held at her alma mater, Howard University, which is located less than two miles from the White House.

The relationship between Harris and Biden seems to have been strained in recent months.

Harris attempted to distance herself from her boss after Biden seemingly called Trump supporters “garbage,” a gaffe that was a gift to the Trump campaign.

“Listen, I think, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people whether they support me or not,” Harris said.

In September, Biden jokingly put on a “Trump 2024” hat.

There were many raised eyebrows by social media users over Jill Biden’s choice of an all-red outfit to wear to cast her vote in Delaware on Election Day.

During her interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Harris declared, “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.”

‘He’s angry at her and he hates her.’

Biden said of his relationship with Harris in October, “Well, she’s — I’m in constant contact with her. She’s aware of where — we all — we’re singing from the same song sheet. We — she helped pass the, all the laws that are being employed now. She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass. And so, she’s been — and her — her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing.”

Biden has done very limited campaigning for Harris in recent months.

President Biden and Harris have not been at a campaign event together since Sept. 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump will hold his election night watch party at his Mar-a-Largo estate in Florida. Trump and Elon Musk will reportedly watch the presidential election results together.

Trump cast his ballot on Tuesday afternoon in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump told the press that the latest presidential campaign was his best ever.

“I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one. We did much better in the second one, but something happened. I would say this is the best campaign we’ve run,” Trump said on Tuesday.

“It looks like we have a very substantial lead. It looks like we have many more Republicans voting today than Democrats,” Trump added.

When asked about the reality that this would likely be his last campaign, Trump replied that he felt “sad. Sad and very fulfilled. I think we’re going to have a very big victory today.”

During an October Trump rally, the former president proclaimed that Biden “hates” Kamala.

“He’s angry at her and he hates her. The only question is, I think he hates her almost as much as he hates me,” Trump told the crowd. “No. And I think he might be willing to — he can’t take much more. It was an overthrow, OK? It was an overthrow. And he’s having a hard time saying, you know, he did it voluntarily, he didn’t. They pulled out — you know what they did, right? Article, what? 25. That’s what they did.”

‘Is Oprah p**sed at you?’ Dr. Phil opens up to Glenn Beck about his conversations with Oprah

Renowned television therapist Dr. Phil McGraw told BlazeTV host Glenn Beck that he and Oprah Winfrey have completely different political views but have never clashed over them.

Dr. Phil’s hit television show carrying his name was originally produced by Winfrey, who showed herself to be a staunch Democrat supporter since at least President Barack Obama.

On Election Day, Beck asked McGraw if Winfrey took issue with his recent appearance at a Donald Trump campaign rally.

“Is Oprah pissed at you?” Beck laughed.

“You mean [about] the fact that we see things politically differently?” McGraw quickly replied.

“She has the right to see things the way she sees them. I have the right to see things the way I see them. You know what? I think we are the perfect example of how we need to understand that people are not their beliefs.”

“Amen,” Beck agreed.

McGraw then explained that in all their years working together, he and Winfrey have never had a spat over politics or anything else.

“We get along great. We don’t always talk about politics, but I have total respect for her. She and I haven’t had a cross word in 30 years.”

— (@)

According to Variety, McGraw has not officially endorsed Trump, and an endorsement was not the reason he spoke at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

McGraw reportedly called his Trump rally speech an “act of rebellion” after requesting “25-plus times to speak to Kamala Harris” and getting nowhere.

Dr. Phil said he “never got so much as a yes, no, maybe.”

Following his speech at Trump’s rally, McGraw claimed, a Kamala Harris campaign staffer reached out to him about possibly speaking at an event in Washington, D.C.

He told them, “Absolutely, tell me when and where to be, and I will bring a transcript of the speech and give it at a Harris rally.”

“Never heard another word once they found out I was serious,” McGraw said.

As for Winfrey, her interview with Harris was seen as a disaster, with the vice president seemingly unable to answer even the most softball questions from the host and audience members.

Harris took an audience question about what steps she would take to secure the border if elected.

“It’s a wonderful and important question,” Harris replied. “I, you know my background was as a prosecutor, and I was also the elected attorney general for two terms of a border state. So this is not a theoretical issue for me. This is something I’ve actually worked on.”

“I take very seriously the importance of having a secure border,” Harris continued, “and ensuring the safety of the American people.”

McGraw said he doesn’t agree with everything Trump says and that he doesn’t like celebrity endorsements for politicians.

WATCH: Dr. Phil reacts to Rogan and JD Vance’s conversation about declining health in America

Joe Rogan’s interview with JD Vance continues to rack up views. It’s raw, honest, and real — everything that the Kamala Harris campaign is not.

One subject the duo covered in their over three-hour interview was the left’s hypocritical response to the looming issue of Americans’ declining health.

Dave Rubin and Dr. Phil react to the clip where JD Vance explains his not-at-all weird viewpoint on the importance of what RFK Jr. is doing for the Trump campaign.

“I’ve seen, like, people on the left that are trying to dismiss a lot of the things that he says about additives in food, about atrazine, fluoride in the water. All these different things because now they’re connecting not having toxins in your food with a right-wing idea.”

“It’s crazy,” JD Vance agreed. “It’s mind-blowing.”

“It’s so bananas!” Rogan exclaimed.

“Even fitness – they’re connecting fitness with a right-wing idea,” he added.

“One of my sort of core political beliefs is that our politics is focused on fake s**t and distractions to distract us from the real stuff,” said Vance.

“It’s interesting that the environmental movement in America, the only thing that it talks about is the carbon footprint and it never talks about like why do we have the highest rates of obesity in the world right now? Why is it that American kids spend less time outdoors in nature than they ever have in the history of our 250 years civilization?” Vance asked.

Vance then recalled an incident in his native state of Ohio where a chemical explosion put all kinds of toxins and pollutants into the water.

“The environmental movement almost could not have cared less about a chemical explosion in rural Ohio that was potentially poisoning thousands of people, but they were really, really concerned about the carbon footprint of those same people,” he told Rogan, “I’m sick of the distraction. I think we should focus on the real stuff.”

Dr. Phil, who’s spoken with RFK Jr. both on and off camera, thinks highly of him.

“We truly do have the ability to change the health of America, and we can do it in a generation because the actual ingredients in the food that we’re eating research tells us very strongly that this changed back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and chronic diseases in children just skyrocketed to the point that we’re now spending more money on managing chronic disease than I think our defense budget.”

To hear more of the conversation, watch the clip above.
