Around the witching hour, when Trump’s victory wasn’t quite official but definitely a reality, the normally more buttoned-up crew covering the election for PBS let its fear and anger fly. Before signing off from Donald Trump’s victory party at 2:58 a.m., reporter William Brangham went on the petulant rant he’d apparently been holding in for several hours of coverage. William Brangham: The people here, honestly, I think are still in a little bit of sense of shock that they came here expecting a long night. Not really thinking that the race would be virtually decided by this evening. All arrows, as we've been reporting, pointing in that direction. And for those people who are celebrating, many of them are still dancing on the floor behind me, this message about dealing with the economy and dealing with immigration resonated enormously to them, obviously. I can only also imagine, though, that for the other half of the country, who is watching this, the people who are aghast at the idea that we are on the cusp of electing someone who waged a violent riot against our democratic process, who calls climate change a hoax, who spread racist lies about immigrants throughout this campaign, who has emulated dictators and says he would like to perhaps be one. I imagine those people watching this have to be equally in shock as the supporters of Donald Trump are shocked at how things turned out for them this evening here in Florida. Not to be outdone, PBS anchor Amna Nawaz followed up three minutes later with this hysterical description of Trump’s immigration proposals. Amna Nawaz (to David Brooks): On immigration, though, I think it's worth remembering in his first term, [Trump] implemented and oversaw what has to be one of the darkest chapters in modern American history, and that was separating children from their parents forcibly for the purpose of separation, as a deterrence. So I'm curious where you think a deterrence or a check would come into play, especially if Republicans control the senate as well. And as we've heard, he will probably fill a cabinet with loyalists and people who won't say no to him. The Democrats' "kids in cages" argument has some holes that PBS will never address. Two minutes later, perpetually pained Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart claimed he would be under threat in a second Trump administration for being black and gay. Jonathan Capehart: ….for a lot of people, this will be 2016 all over again. And for me, it's not because, I lived through the first, the four years of Trump's administration.  I remember what that was like. And I just have to say that this is a sobering moment for me as an African American, because things that he said on the campaign trail about giving power to police to do all sorts of things that would loop me in, potentially, to being, have an encounter with the police that I didn't ask for. As a gay American, I'm concerned because that's super--the conservative supermajority on the court, particularly Justice Thomas in his concurrence with the Dobbs decision, said, we should go after Obergefell. So my, which legalized same sex marriage, so my marriage is on the line…. Your tax dollars at work.

Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr lampooned Donald Trump in response to the Republican's election victory, using both inflammatory and positive language.Kerr has been a staunch supporter of Kamala Harris leading up to the presidential election and was asked by reporters for his thoughts on the Republican landslide after the results came in."I believe in democracy. I think the American people have spoken and voted for Trump. I want him to do well the next four years. I want our country to do well."Anthony Slater, a sports reporter who posted Kerr's remarks, noted the coach's tone shifted to sarcasm as he began to recite a hyperbolic version of Trump's position following the 2020 election results."I'm just thankful there wasn't any voting fraud this time. Last time, all those illegal immigrants who crashed the border, raped and murdered people and then voted six times, that was unfortunate," Kerr described.The coach then claimed that Trump only believed there was election fraud in the previous election because he lost, stating "thankfully this time everything was clean.""It's great that every election has been really valid except for that last one four years ago," Kerr added, before pointing to a "twinkle" in his eye to note his sarcasm.Kerr then switched from dramatic to positive though, saying he believes in democracy and "the will of the people."The 59-year-old pledged to support the country and government; "I want nothing but the best for us," he said."Between wars abroad, global economy that has shifted everything, in terms of what it means for our citizens and their day to day lives. I'm well aware that I live in a bubble and I'm one of the luckiest people on earth. So I want what's best for us. I hope Trump can deliver that."'Let's make America great again and beat the Celtics.'In a video posted to X, Kerr was asked if he spoke with his team in order to reset their minds following the election results.The coach's reply was downright laughable."I just told them in our meeting this morning 'Let's make America great again and beat the Celtics.'" Steph Curry and Steve Kerr both endorsed Kamala Harris.Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images via Getty ImagesKerr and superstar guard Steph Curry had been openly endorsing Harris since at least the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.In July, Curry claimed Harris was "primed to bring her energy" to the presidential campaign. Curry pushed much of the same messaging that the Harris campaign itself did: positive energy and good vibes."For her in this moment, knowing what's ahead, it’s all about positive energy and optimism knowing how divided our country is right now," Curry said while in Paris.At the same time, both Kerr and Curry have consistently remained positive even when their politics were clearly at odds with the news cycle. The coach and player both expressed concern over the attempted assassination of Trump in July and said they hoped for the best for the United States.Like Blaze News?

Although Republicans have won the presidency and regained a majority in the Senate, it remains unclear which party will claim control of the House. As of this writing, Republicans have secured 206 seats, while Democrats have won 192 seats, according to the Associated Press. Either party will need to win at least 218 of the 435 House seats in order to hold the majority. Currently, 37 seats are yet to be called, which could swing the majority in either direction. Of the 37 seats, Republicans are leading 17 of them, while Democrats are ahead in 20. Although Democrats are leading in more uncalled races, Republicans only need 12 of the 17 seats to maintain their majority.'As more results come in, it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House.'Republicans are leading Alaska's only House race, as well as Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, Iowa's 1st Congressional District, Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, Pennsylvania's 7th, 8th, and 9th Congressional Districts, Arizona's 1st, 2nd, and 6th Congressional Districts, and California's 13th, 22nd, 27th, 41st, 45th, and 47th Congressional Districts. Washington's 4th Congressional District is still uncalled but will go to one of the two Republican candidates due to the ranked-choice voting system. Democrats are ahead in Washington's 3rd and 8th Congressional Districts, Oregon's 5th and 6th Congressional Districts, California's 9th, 12th, 21st, 26th, 39th, and 49th Congressional Districts, Nevada's 1st, 3rd, and 4th Congressional Districts, Arizona's 4th Congressional District, and Colorado's 8th Congressional District. Farther east, Democrats are leading in Louisiana's 6th Congressional District, Ohio's 9th Congressional District, North Carolina's 1st Congressional District, Maryland's 6th Congressional District, New York's 4th Congressional District, and Maine's 2nd Congressional District. Speaker Mike Johnson reassured his party, maintaining that he was confident that Republicans would hold their majority. "This historic election has proven that a majority of Americans are eager for secure borders, lower costs, peace through strength, and a return to common sense," Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. "As more results come in, it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House.""House Republicans have been successful in securing critical flips in swing states including Pennsylvania and Michigan, while our battle-tested incumbents have secured re-election from coast to coast," Johnson continued. "The latest data and trends indicate that when all the votes are tabulated, Republicans will have held our majority, even though we faced a map with 18 Biden-won seats."Like Blaze News?

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.Like Blaze News?
