Chapman (@davidchapman141) November 11, 2024 From the New York Post: Trump, 78, had swept all seven battleground states and won the Electoral College by 312 to 226. That’s the largest victory since 2012, when then-incumbent President Barack Obama notched 332 to 206. For context, Trump’s 2016 victory was 304 to 227. Biden won the Electoral College 306 to 232. Republicans have also recaptured the Senate and are within striking distance of retaining the House of Representatives. The soon-to-be 47th commander-in-chief is only the second president in US history to win a second nonconsecutive term after Glover Cleveland, a Democrat who served as the 22nd and 24th US president starting in 1885. Trump is also set to become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. With around 72 million votes, Trump is the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote https://t.co/3RlaMFJlkl pic.twitter.com/RivfRcbKfu — Kashish Parpiani (@kparpiani) November 7, 2024 Per Axios: Trump was elected in key battleground states this cycle, easing his trajectory to 270 electoral votes and cementing his popular victory. In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by about 2.9 million votes but won in the Electoral College. Trump’s nearly 72 million votes this year, counted as of Wednesday afternoon, fall nearly 10 million behind President Biden’s 2020 popular vote.  In 2004, former President and then-incumbent George W. Bush was the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote since 1988. Bush won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes over John Kerry, his Democratic opponent. He had lost the popular vote in 2000 against Al Gore but won the Electoral College.

Nearly every witness who has testified in the trial of Daniel Penny has said they were afraid of Jordan Neely as he threatened passengers on a New York City subway last year. After Neely allegedly threatened passengers, Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, placed him in a chokehold to get him to stop. Neely died following the chokehold, and Penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter or up to 4 years if he’s convicted on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Multiple witnesses testified on Friday saying they were afraid of Neely, following similar testimony from witnesses testifying earlier in the week. Jurors were also shown multiple recordings showing Neely unresponsive in the subway car, ABC 7 reported. In one recording from a police body cam, Alethea Gittings recalls what she heard Neely saying prior to Penny’s intervention. “I heard the young man that’s on the floor saying, you know, ‘hey, I’m willing to die. You know, I’ll do anything. I’ll go to jail. I don’t care. I don’t care,'” Gittings said. Gittings testified on Friday that she thanked Penny for his actions. “The guy in the tan did take him down like, very respectfully and just like held. He just held him. Yeah, yeah, He just held him. He didn’t choke him,” Gittings told officers in the footage played in court. Two other witnesses on Friday described their fear of Neely. A mother on the train who was with her 5-year-old son said she “actually took the stroller that I had and put it in front of my son to create a barrier.” On Thursday, 18-year-old Moriela Sanchez testified that Neely, 30, began threatening passengers as soon as he entered the subway car on May 1, 2023, Fox News reported. “If no one gives him water or food, he’s gonna start putting hands on people,” Sanchez testified. “He was going to start attacking.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Sanchez explained that Neely was shouting at everyone in the car but had not touched anyone. Another witness, Kaydren Schrunk, said Neely was shouting in the middle of the train car, made threatening gestures, smelled like “soiled sweatpants,” and that she feared he had a gun or knife, even though she didn’t see one and he was unarmed. She also testified that Neely made threatening comments toward the passengers. “This was the first time in my life that I took a moment because I was scared that I was going to die in that moment,” she said. Even with this testimony, Penny’s defense asked for a mistrial, saying Penny was not getting a fair trial, Fox News reported. Penny’s defense argued that the prosecution was attempting to turn Penny into a “white vigilante” and allowed witness Johnny Grima – who has a conviction of smashing someone with a baseball bat – to call Penny a “murderer” even though Penny isn’t charged with or accused of murder.
