Since President Donald Trump wiped the floor with rival Kamala Harris on Election Day, millions of Americans have been in a state of jubilation. But there’s more to celebrate in our nation’s future than just Trump’s return to the White House. The 45th (and now 47th) president previously shared a sneak peek of his plans for a major event to commemorate the nation’s 25oth birthday. As the Trump campaign announced last year: “Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence,” President Trump said. “That’s why as a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time.” Once back in the White House, President Trump will work with America’s 50 governors to create the “Great American State Fair” in Iowa, host major sporting events with American high school athletes, and sign an executive order to construct a National Garden of American Heroes. To showcase our great country, President Trump will invite leaders and citizens from around the world to visit the United States, and President Trump will ask America’s courageous religious communities to pray for our great nation. In response to his landslide victory, those plans are attracting renewed attention on social media: Trump announces that he will be holding a huge 250th Birthday Party for America pic.twitter.com/A9Gi3pcu2e — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) November 7, 2024 Trump is going to throw America’s 250th birthday party.

Trump says it will be called the “Great American State Fair,” held in Iowa, and feature pavilions from all 50 states. I love it! It’s so refreshing to FINALLY… pic.twitter.com/y2vSWbdkm8 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) November 7, 2024 Trump has indicated that he wants the celebration to last throughout the year of 2026, as Politico reported: “My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa state fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival,” Trump said. “Together we will build it, and they will come.” Just how the country could fill 365 days of celebration is not entirely clear, though Trump suggests some ideas. He proposed “Patriot Games” for high school athletes and called for the revival of his proposed “National Garden of American Heroes,” which was part of an executive order he signed before leaving the White House. Trump’s garden however, never received funding or broke ground after President Joe Biden scrapped plans for it at the beginning of his term. Here’s some additional coverage of his plan:

According to Newsweek, a senior Hamas official called for an ‘immediate’ end to the group’s war against Israel after news of President Trump’s election victory. The call reportedly came under 24 hours after Trump secured the election. In less than 24 hours after Trump’s presidential win, Hamas is already calling to end its war with Israel. This is what “peace through strength” looks like. pic.twitter.com/tvpQfV5TDS — Elizabeth Weibel (@elfaddis) November 7, 2024 “The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans,” Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim told Newsweek. “But Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent self-sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital,” Naim added. Naim told the outlet the “blind support” for Israel and its government must stop “immediately.” This is what “Peace through Strength” looks like. Hamas Calls for ‘Immediate’ End to War After Trump Election Winhttps://t.co/uFJkun0Bu3 — Cory Mills (@CoryMillsFL) November 7, 2024 Newsweek reports: When previously in office, Trump forged a close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is today engaged in a multifront war against the Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance that began with a large-scale Hamas-led attack against Israel in October 2023. However, Trump has also expressed criticism of Netanyahu’s wartime leadership and has called for a timely end to the conflict. Reached for comment, an Israeli official told Newsweek that “maintaining and building upon the special relationship between the U.S. and Israel has been a bipartisan feature of American politics since the founding of the Jewish state.” “We have no doubt that this will continue to be the case,” the Israeli official said. “Going forward, we look forward to a strong working relationship with his administration to bring about a more peaceful, secure and prosperous Middle East.” With continued signs of disagreement between President Joe Biden and Netanyahu over the course of the war despite sizable U.S. military aid, the Israeli premier was the first to congratulate Trump on what was described as “history’s greatest comeback.” Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas official, told Reuters that “we urge Trump to learn from Biden’s mistakes.” “Abu Zuhri said Trump would be tested on his statements that he can stop the war within hours of taking office as U.S. president,” Reuters stated.

It’s amazing what peace through strength looks like.. pic.twitter.com/EfKM8pPVDQ — KC (@KCPayTreeIt) November 7, 2024 Per Reuters: Palestinians, locked in war with Israel for more than a year, expressed fear at Donald Trump’s return to the White House, while the leaders of the militant group Hamas and the Palestinian Authority urged him to act for peace. In Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Abu Osama, who has been displaced by unrelenting Israeli bombardments, called Trump’s election victory a “new catastrophe in the history of the Palestinian people”. “Despite the destruction, death, and displacement that we have witnessed, what is coming will be more difficult, it will be politically devastating,” Abu Osama told Reuters. More than 43,300 Palestinians have been killed in more than a year of war in Gaza, health authorities in the enclave say, and much of the territory has been laid to waste. The war began after Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Efforts by the United States and Arab mediators Qatar and Egypt have so far failed to arrange a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that would end the fighting and see the release of Israeli and foreign hostages in Gaza as well as Palestinians jailed by Israel.

The U.S. Senate race in Nevada between incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Republican challenger Sam Brown is a nail-biter. Rosen pulled ahead of Brown early Thursday and leads by about 13,000 votes. With roughly 95% reporting, Decision Desk HQ projected Rosen to fend off the challenge.

KLAS 8 News Now reports: Incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen pulled ahead of her opponent, Republican Sam Brown, early Thursday as Clark County added about 55,000 votes to its total. As of midnight Thursday, Rosen led Brown by 12,699 votes — or about 1%. The new batch of votes included Election Day mail and ballots dropped off at voting locations on Election Day, the county said. As of Thursday morning, the Associated Press had not called the race in either candidate’s favor. 8 News Now believes that at least several thousand mail-in ballots had yet to be processed in Clark and Washoe counties.

Jacky Rosen keeps Nevada Senate seat in Democratic hands https://t.co/4Zf6tD1aC2 — The Hill (@thehill) November 7, 2024 Las Vegas Review-Journal reports: On Wednesday night, Brown had been ahead of Rosen by 2,188 votes, which had been up slightly from his lead of 1,757 votes earlier Wednesday evening and his Wednesday morning lead of more than 6,000 votes. Clark County had been expecting to release results for about another 55,000 mail ballots late Wednesday. Both Brown and Rosen remained optimistic late Tuesday night. “We are not letting up now. Not now,” Rosen told supporters at the Aria after midnight. “We’re going to win this race.” Brown said during a watch party at Red Rock that there is a lot to celebrate. The closeness of the race is no surprise, with Nevada’s last Senate race in 2022 also a nail-biter. It wasn’t called until four days later, and Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto won her re-election by less than 0.1 percentage points. Rosen encouraged supporters to knock on doors and make calls to help voters cure their signatures. Clark County reported 12,000 ballots needed to be cured Wednesday morning. Decision Desk HQ has the Senate tally at 52-46 in favor of Republicans. Arizona and Pennsylvania are the last two undeclared races. * Image from Decision Desk HQ *

The Republican leads Vice President Kamala Harris 52.1% to 47%, with 67% of votes counted, the Associated Press reports. Trump’s victory in Arizona, with its 11 electoral votes, follows that in neighboring Nevada, where he picked up 6 — a feat no Republican has completed in 20 years. Both candidates made their final trips to the southwestern swing state on Halloween, haunting Arizonans with their contrasting visions of how scary America could get if their opponent won.

Landslide. pic.twitter.com/xQAhXMVP7Y — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) November 7, 2024 The Hill reports: Trump has secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House following a roughly 100-day campaign between him and Harris. With the Arizona win, Trump has acquired total of 312 votes while Harris got a total of 226. Several prominent Republicans in the state endorsed Harris, including former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who most recently served as ambassador to Turkey during the Biden administration, and Mesa Mayor John Giles. But even those prominent GOP defections were not enough to put Harris over the top. The state became fertile ground for election denialism after the 2020 presidential election as Trump and others contested the results of the last presidential cycle despite audits and court challenges pointing to the fact that no widespread fraud occurred. There was particular focus on Arizona this cycle given that it was also home to a competitive Senate race between Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Republican Kari Lake to replace retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.).

One of the last unknowns from this election is how will Kari Lake’s Senate race wrap up. You might have been told by the “MSM” that she lost, but that’s not accurate.  Vote counting and ballot curing continue even as I write this! Kari Lake herself is asking everyone in Arizona to connect with TPAction and cure their ballots! Every little bit helps, this is (allegedly) extremely close: The most important thing you can be doing for the next few days is helping ⁦@TPAction_⁩ cure these ballots and make sure every vote counts in Arizona. You can even do it over the phone if you don’t live in our state. Please help if you can! https://t.co/dLTh9ksn4G — Kari Lake (@KariLake) November 7, 2024 But people like Tom Fitton are less charitable….Fitton is outright calling it Election Corruption in Maricopa County right now: What is happening in Maricopa County right now is election corruption. — Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) November 7, 2024 Why do Fitton and so many others believe something is not right here? It’s pretty simple common sense…. President Trump won Arizona — by a fairly large margin too: BREAKING: Trump has officially WON ARIZONA!

We are incredibly proud of our Chase The Vote team. pic.twitter.com/u0zGTpkRE4 — Turning Point Action (@TPAction_) November 7, 2024 And yet while you would expect that most or almost all Trump voters would also be voting for Kari Lake, that’s not the case. There is a huge discrepancy in the numbers… Donald Trump votes: 1,196,434 Kari Lake votes: 1,085,744 You mean to tell me 110,000 people voted for President Trump and then didn’t vote for Kari Lake? But it’s even worse than that because while Kamala Harris got 1,083,227 votes, Kari Lake’s opponent Ruben Gallego currently has 1,144,632 votes…. So the only way you can reconcile all of these stats is you have to believe that of the 110,000 people who (allegedly) voted Trump but not Lake, 61,000 of those actually cast a vote for Kari Lake’s Democrat opponent. Folks, there is no world in which that makes any sense whatsover. And so people are calling it out, calling it fraud: I’m calling fraud in Arizona… there’s no way there’s that many people who voted for Trump but not Kari Lake. The race is far from over but regardless there’s investigating that needs to be done. pic.twitter.com/xFX8IIJhY4 — Kristopher J.

Gallego, a five-term member of Congress and the favorite to win the contest entering the election hasn’t posted on social media since a tweet election night thanking poll workers for their service. Lake, a former Fox 10 newscaster who cut into his polling lead in the final weeks of the race, urged her followers the morning after Election Day to ensure their provisional ballots are counted. “This race is going to go down to the wire!” Lake tweeted. “We need ALL HANDS ON DECK to cure ballots and ensure the vote of every Arizonan counts.” That could matter in her race if the results continue moving in Lake’s direction, as happened throughout the night as the counting continued.
