Conventional wisdom has said it’s virtually impossible for a Republican to win the Popular Vote anymore… In fact, the last time it was done was George W. Bush with his “hanging chads” in 2024, narrowly edging out John Kerry with 50.7% of the Popular Vote. And almost no one thought it could be done this year in 2024, but they were all wrong. Donald Trump received nearly 5 million MORE votes than Kamala Harris in the Popular Vote, coming in at 51% vs. 47.5%: Here’s why it’s so tough for a Republican to pull off the Popular Vote win: It has become challenging for Republicans to win the popular vote due to a mix of demographic, geographic, and political factors: Urban vs. Rural Distribution: Democratic voters tend to be concentrated in highly populated urban areas, while Republican voters are more dispersed in rural areas. This distribution means that even when Republicans win in many states, they often have slimmer margins, while Democrats accumulate large numbers of votes in populous states like California and New York. Demographic Shifts: Younger voters, racial minorities, and urban populations—who are more likely to vote Democratic—have grown as a share of the electorate. Republicans have traditionally struggled to attract these groups, who tend to support policies and social issues aligned with the Democratic Party. Electoral Strategy: In recent years, Republican campaigns have focused more on securing electoral votes rather than maximizing popular vote totals. This approach prioritizes winning key battleground states, where electoral votes make a larger difference, rather than competing heavily in populous states that lean strongly Democratic. Polarization and Regional Realignments: Increasing political polarization has led to strong regional partisan divides. Republican support is strong in the South and parts of the Midwest, while Democrats dominate the Northeast and West Coast. These regional realignments often leave Republicans with a lower nationwide vote total, even if they win a majority of states. Suburban Voter Shifts: Suburban areas, historically more conservative or swing areas, have increasingly leaned Democratic in recent years, especially among college-educated voters. This shift has made it harder for Republicans to reach a broader popular base. And the fact that President Trump just did it with a 5 million cushion shows you the American people just handed him a MASSIVE mandate. Absolutely massive. The American people are fed up with our country being destroyed over these last few years…. They’re sick of the inflation. Sick of all the lies. Sick of a FAKE Administration. Sick of being called Garbage and Hitler. Sick of not having good jobs. Sick of being fed poison and toxins in our food. Sick of being sick. Sick of being tired all the time and unhealthy. Sick of being told Joe Biden is mentally fit for office. Sick of seeing Kamala Harris cackle her way through every interview, unable to answer the simplest of questions. Sick of it all. And so America FIRED Kamala Harris and the whole damn DemocRAT party, sent them packing!  Handed a massive mandate to President Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk! It was an unexpected and unprecedented CLEAN SWEEP: CLEAN SWEEP: We Won It ALL — President, House, Senate, Popular Vote! CLEAN SWEEP: We Won It ALL -- President, House, Senate, Popular Vote! Getting lost a bit in all the celebration over President Trump winning is one small little detail.... Not only did President Trump win in historic fashion, but it was a Clean Sweep across the board. This is what you call a "Massive Mandate" by the American People. The Presidency. The Senate. The House. The Popular Vote. WE WON IT ALL! Conventional wisdom heading into the Election was that Trump might win the Presidency and the Senate, but definitely not the House.  And definitely not the Popular Vote. But he did. And now you are about to see history made these next 4 years as there is NOTHING holding this man back.  Nothing. He has the Supreme Court behind him with a 6-3 split, and often 7-2. MAGA controls BOTH the House and Senate, so there is no split Congress. They can push through literally anything they want (and believe me, they will). Judicial appointments?  Check. Legislation?  Check. Cutting 90% of Government?  Check. Elon and DOGE?  Check. RFK, Jr. making America healthy again?  Check. Folks, I can't quite underscore just how important this is.... There was a possibility that Trump would have gotten in, but been hampered by a split Government and a Congress stopping most of what he wanted to do. Not now. Also, in his First Term, he was new to Washington and didn't know who he could trust. Now with nearly 10 years under his belt, he knows where all the bodies are buried and this time he's coming in with his team of Avengers already assembled. Trump. Elon. RFK. Tulsi. Tucker. Vivek. Vance. This time he comes in with no restraints and the Dream Team ready to hit the ground running on Day 1.  BEFORE Day 1, even.  Because the Transition Team actually started their work BEFORE the Election. Remember this report from a few days ago? BOMBSHELL: RFK Jr. Confirms The Trump Transition Team Has Already Started! And now since we spent so much time looking at Polymarket leading up to the election, I thought I'd just show you a visual depiction of how things ended up....because sometimes pictures are truly worth a thousand words. Trump wins the Presidency: In the end, every single Swing State broke for Trump. All 6 of them: The morning of the Election, Trump only had a 27% chance of winning the Popular Vote and yet he pulled that off too in the end. Something NO ONE expected and historically has been almost impossible for a Republican due to current demographics: And here's my favorite part.... A clean RED SWEEP was thought to not be possible, and yet here it is: It's a beautiful thing!

By popular request, I have been asked to repost President Trump’s historic victory speech from last night. Your wish is my command…. First a few of my favorite clips. Starting with this one: Kamala Harris claimed Trump didn’t have the stamina to be President.  She went home early last night and President Trump threw a massive party at Mar-a-lago after being out till 3am the night before campaigning. They are not the same: Kamala tried to claim Trump didn’t have the stamina for this Presidency, she went home without giving a speech while Trump did a victory dance at 3am. They are not the same. pic.twitter.com/gDVKj1Gcza — TaraBull (@TaraBull808) November 6, 2024 This was truly the greatest comeback in political history: President Trump just completed the greatest political comeback in US history and he immediately starts giving Bryson DeChambeau a shout out on the stage during his victory speech.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing to come from this election is also perhaps the most unexpected…. We may have just received absolute confirmation that 2020 was stolen. A bunch of posts are going viral on Twitter/X right now from Democrats saying “The math doesn’t add up! How can the total number of voters be less this year than in 2020?” Like this one from “Deb”: How can the total number of voters be less this year than there were in 2020 after we’ve had the biggest turnout than ever before? Demand a recount and an investigation.#DoNotConcedeKamala. pic.twitter.com/5oAcufaQH7 — Deb (@dancingdg) November 6, 2024 And on one level, they’re right…. The math DOES NOT add up. To believe what we’re being told, we have to believe that Joe Biden got 81 million votes in 2020, and this election was expected to be bigger with even more turnout, and yet Kamala Harris only gets 66 million votes? Where did the other 15 million go? And for Trump, he also got about 3 million less votes this year than in 2020. So something doesn’t add up, I agree with that. But the Democrats are too dumb or ignorant to realize what this is actually telling us…. It’s actually confirming in broad daylight that 15 million votes from people who do not exist were added into the 2020 election to rig it. It’s the classic FRAUD image we’ve all seen posted so many times over the last 4 years: You see that big vertical spike up right at the end? That occurred after we all went to bed on election night in 2020. That vertical spike up represents 15 million votes. The same 15 million votes that suddenly disappeared this election cycle in 2024. Now that we have the 2024 data, we can compare 2024 to 2020 and also add in 2016 and 2012 to get this chart: Sorry to beat a dead horse, but can we go back to what happened here? pic.twitter.com/FkScNHivuU — zerohedge (@zerohedge) November 6, 2024 Here’s a closer look: Understand what this chart is showing you…. Since 2012 (and even before if we wanted to go back farther), the data is extremely consistent that Democrats almost always pull in about 66 million votes. Except for 2020 when they suddenly pulled in 81 million without any precedent for that whatsoever. And perhaps if that had continued in 2024 we could say that’s the new normal, maybe coming from all the illegals they keep important. But it wasn’t the new normal. This year, with all eyes on the cheaters, the vote tally went right back to it’s normal 66 million. And so people like “Deb” are confused and when they look only at 2020 vs. 2024 they think something strange happened. But zoom out and the story becomes quite clear: 2020 was stolen.  The data does not lie. Here’s Dinesh: Kamala got 60 million votes in 2024. Does anyone really believe Biden got 80 million in 2020? Where did those 20 million Democratic voters go? The truth is, they never existed. I think we can put the lie about Biden’s 80 million votes to rest once and for all — Dinesh D’Souza (@DineshDSouza) November 6, 2024 Roseanne gets it: The funniest thing I’m seeing is Dems saying the election was rigged because there was huge turnout last night and there are 20 million less votes for Kamala. lol. They still think Biden got 81 million votes at 4 am. Trump is the most popular candidate of all time. He won three… — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) November 6, 2024 We all knew it was fraud at the time it happened…. We’ve been shouting from the rooftops ever since. But now we have new proof. We all knew there was no way Joe Biden got 15 million MORE votes than Barack Obama. I can’t stand Obama, but I admit he was genuinely popular.  It was real.  I think that popularity will not stand when the history books are written, but at the time he was widely popular. Joe Biden was not popular. He hid in his basement. So we knew there was no way he got 15 million more votes. And we were right. Folks, 2020 is not over…. There is still much to be exposed and much to be cleaned up. We’re only just beginning that process, today we’re in the 1st Inning of that game and there is much that will be done, much that will be exposed. The cheaters and the riggers are going to prison, mark it down! RELATED REPORT: President Trump Makes History, First Time A Republican Has Done This In 20 Years!

It was the Democratic presidential nominee's second campaign event in the battleground state of Wisconsin on the day. About 20 minutes into Harris' speech, a number of attendees were escorted out, while shouting "Jesus is Lord" at those around them. Unfazed, Harris stopped her remarks and countered. "Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally," she said. "No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street." The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as the protesters were shown toward the door. I would say she just lost the Christian vote, but I can't believe she ever had it in the first place!

Donald Trump’s election victory was welcomed happily by Wall Street, with all three major benchmarks hitting record highs on Wednesday. 

Bill Barr called for the state and federal government to drop the cases against Donald Trump and go with the will of the people.  The officials might do the opposite. Their hatchet men in the media are nasty today, suggesting that they might double down. “The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump […] The post The Fangs Are Out for Trump-Vance and 70 Million of Us appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

CNN contributor Scott Jennings explained Donald Trump’s victory to a panel of hosts as they sat in silence. He talked about the president-elect not just clinching the electoral college, but also potentially winning the popular vote, a first for any Republican candidate since 2004. “This is a big deal. This isn’t backing into the office,” Jennings told the CNN panel.  “This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do. Get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans. Fix immigration. Try to get crime under control. Try to reduce the chaos in the world. This is a mandate from the American people to do that. I think I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just a regular old working-class American,” he continued. Revenge of the average, everyday working class American. My reaction to Trump’s crushing victory on @cnn pic.twitter.com/JkhixYVGLS — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) November 6, 2024 Jennings added, “The anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to. They’re not garbage; they’re not Nazis. They’re just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids.” He said, “And they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives. I also feel like this election, as we sit here and pore over this tonight, is something of an indictment of the political information complex.” Jennings mentioned the “gimmicks” Democrats used to try to win, including ads about women lying to their husbands, when really voters were concerned with “fundamentals.”  “Inflation, people feeling like that they were barely able to tread water at best,” the contributor said. “That was the fundamentals of the election. And so I think that both parties should always look at the results of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The political strategist said this should be treated as a lesson by the Democrats. “But I think for all of us who cover elections and talk about elections and do this on a day-to-day basis, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said, we’ve had enough,” he concluded. As of Wednesday morning, Trump was leading Vice President Kamala Harris in the popular vote with 71.7 million votes as compared to 66.8 million. 

Vice President Kamala Harris, who did not address supporters at her campaign’s watch party on Tuesday night, will wait until 6:00 p.m. ET Wednesday to deliver a concession speech, Reuters reported, citing two sources. The presidential race was called for Donald Trump in the early morning hours on Wednesday after he was projected to beat Harris in the all-important swing states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump also won Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. The races in Arizona and Michigan have yet to be called as of Wednesday morning, but Trump remains in the lead in both states. NBC News reported that Harris is also expected to call Trump at some point on Wednesday as is President Joe Biden. The Harris campaign headquarters in Washington, D.C., was noticeably quiet on Tuesday night as many of her supporters headed for the exits after races were called for Trump in Georgia and North Carolina. Harris surrogate Lindy Li, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee, began pointing fingers for the campaign’s failures on Wednesday, saying that Harris’ VP pick Gov. Tim Walz was a bad choice, according to Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich. Li added that Harris made a mistake when she told “The View” that she would not do anything differently than President Joe Biden. Trump addressed his supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, in the early morning hours on Wednesday, and claimed victory. During his speech, he promised to deliver a “golden age of America.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you. And with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America. That’s what we have to have. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump said.

MSNBC host Joy Reid insisted that Kamala Harris ran a great campaign. She made the statement while covering election results as it became clear that Republican nominee Donald Trump was taking a solid lead. By Wednesday, Trump had beaten Harris in most swing states and also clinched the lead in the popular vote.   Reid said, “I think it’s important to say, anyone who has experienced or been in the United States for any period of time and experienced this country’s history and knows it, cannot have believed it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color. Let’s just be clear. And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run, is not true now.” She doubled down on that message, adding, “I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had … Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed her. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice. She had the Taylor Swift, she had the Swifties, she had the Bey-hive. You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time. And I think that’s still true.” Winning the support of almost every A-list celebrity was not enough to convince the American people, however. Reid said last month that the surge in Trump’s poll numbers occurred because “some Democrats are starting to believe the disinformation, too,” as The Daily Wire previously reported. “Have you noticed how sharply the polls have shifted in Trump’s favor over these last couple weeks with these claims that Trump is surging with black and Latino voters and leading in every single swing state, according to secret internal polls, despite all the Hitler talk?” she said on an episode of The ReidOut. “Yes, this race will be far too close because unfortunately, we do have a fascist groundswell in parts of this country, mainly among white men, let’s be clear, but in small pockets among black and brown men, too,” she continued.  “This happens to be a global phenomenon, as women become more economically independent and seek positions of power.”

As the mainstream media grapples with Kamala Harris’ big loss, many are trying to figure out what went wrong. MSNBC host Joe Scarborough put forth the theory that Democrats allowed their party to become too involved with cultural issues, including men competing in women’s sports. Scarborough brought up the topic of pro-Palestinian protestors on college campuses as another example of Leftist extremism.  “Let’s dig a little deeper because you have that stacked on top of what happened on college campuses this fall, stacked on top of what’s been happening on college campuses over the past four or five years,” he said. “I have said this on the air, and every time I’ve said it, people said, ‘Oh, you’re just saying that because you’re a white conservative.’ No, I’m just saying it because every Democrat that we have ever sat down [to] dinner with over the past five years who have kids that go to colleges, say their kids are afraid to speak in class because they’ll be canceled.” Scarborough added, “If any of you out there say, ‘Oh, that’s just like a conservative, white, southern guy …’ That’s why you’re losing. That’s why you’re losing. Because that’s what I heard. And I didn’t hear it from Republicans. I didn’t hear it from Trumpers. I heard it from Democrats over the past three or four years. Their kids were afraid to talk in class and say something unpopular because they would be canceled. And it’s an epidemic.” LOL: @JoeNBC (the day after the election): "Democrats should be smarter on the women's athletics thing. 85% of Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty and competing against women. And I'm not just saying this the day after the election."pic.twitter.com/QXIa5qgV2Q — Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) November 6, 2024 The “Morning Joe” co-host also pointed to the Democrats’ position on transgender-identifying athletes. “By the way, by the way, as we’ve said on this show a thousand times, Democrats should be smarter on the women’s athletics thing,” Scarborough went on.  “Eighty-five percent of Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty and competing against women. And I’m not just saying this the day after the election. I’ve been saying this for years. This is not a hard call. You can show compassion and you can show grace.
