Trump Wins Decisive Victory in Political Comeback of the Century

Tuesday’s election will put Donald Trump back in the White House and the results weren’t even close.

Heading into the night, Democrats were feeding several bogus narratives about women voters or perhaps disaffected Puerto Ricans swinging the presidency to Kamala Harris. It was all nonsense and the early voting trends, which heavily favored Trump for weeks, held firm throughout the evening.

There are a lot of winners and losers from Tuesday night which we’ll get to in a subsequent post. For now, here is where everything stands.

The Presidency

As of Wednesday morning, the outstanding states include Michigan and Arizona, both leaning toward Trump, remaining to be called. Every swing state swung hard toward Trump giving him a bigger victory than 2016 and leaving Democrats picking up the tattered pieces of their ultra-left party that’s more out of touch with working-class Americans than ever before. As it turns out, endorsements from Taylor Swift and Beyonce just don’t sell to voters trying to pay for gas and put food on the table.

Trump improved on his 2016 margins in every state and also picked up Nevada. When all is said and done, Trump will end up with 312 electoral votes with Arizona and Michigan added to the tally.

The Senate

On Trump’s coattails and thanks to unity and great organization, Republicans will take control of the United States Senate by a multi-seat majority. The minimum is probably by 53 or 54 seats when the counting is done as the GOP flipped Ohio, Montana, and West Virginia. Pennsylvania is trending Republican as well with Nevada following suit. Michigan and Wisconsin are still pending on a razor edge but Democrats maintain a slight lead in both.

The House

This is where it gets interesting. Throughout a portion of the night, it looked like Democrats might capture control of the House of Representatives. However, as of dawn’s early light, it looks like the GOP is likely to retain control by perhaps one or maybe two seats depending on how it all shakes out. This could take a few days to flesh out but expect a steady stream of races called later today and into Thursday that should clarify whether Trump will enter office with total control in January.

More to come, stay tuned!
