A prediction made by former President Donald Trump earlier on Election Day is beginning to ring true, and even liberal media outlets are admitting Vice President Kamala Harris' paths to victory are increasingly narrow and difficult. Trump's prediction was posted at 7:33 pm ET on Tuesday to his Truth Social...

Republicans have flipped another critical Senate seat, inching closer to capturing a majority in the upper legislative chamber. Businessman Bernie Moreno has defeated incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH). BREAKING: Decision Desk project that Republican Bernie Moreno will defeat Democrat incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown to become the next US Senator from the state of Ohio. BOOM!!! — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 6, 2024 Decision Desk HQ projects Bernie Moreno (R) wins the US Senate election in Ohio.#DecisionMade: 10:50 PM EDT Follow live results here:https://t.co/IWJYuBuYFK pic.twitter.com/HdRucpiJfK — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) November 6, 2024 The Hill reports: Republican businessman Bernie Moreno has defeated incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, boosting Republican chances of taking back control of the Senate. Moreno, 57, who built up a successful network of car dealerships in Ohio, had trailed Brown, who is completing his third Senate term, in the polls for much of the race. He was propelled to victory in part because of former President Trump’s strong performance at the top of the ticket. Trump is projected to easily defeat Vice President Harris in Ohio. Moreno cruised to an easy victory in the Republican primary, buoyed by Trump’s endorsement in December. Republicans flipped West Virginia earlier in the evening, with Jim Justice defeating Jim Elliott. JUST IN: Senate Seat Projected To FLIP Red!

Ivanka Trump is reportedly set to attend the election night party at Mar-a-lago. 

In the swing state of North Carolina, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump competed for the 16 Electoral College votes, with Trump coming out on top.

Republican businessman Bernie Moreno is projected to win the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, according to Decision Desk HQ. Moreno was projected the winner in the race over Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) 50.7% to 46% with 86% of the vote in. Moreno’s victory could go a long way toward determining which party has control of the U.S. Senate starting in January. Brown, who has been in office since 2007, had been losing ground in the polls against Moreno for months. Brown had attempted to present himself as a moderate, especially on energy, vowing that he would “not turn my back on Ohio’s rural electric co-ops, Ohio energy workers, and Ohio families whose energy bills are already too high.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ In September, however, he participated in a campaign event alongside a radical environmentalist group pushing to close the state’s largest coal plant. Moreno, a Colombian-born businessman, supports stronger border security and said that “energy dominance” will be one of his top issues if he is elected. Moreno had also pushed to abolish the Department of Education, arguing that it has a “stranglehold on our kids.” Zach Jewell contributed to this report.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro talked to Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night about the early election results and said he was feeling “cautiously optimistic.” During Kelly’s 2024 election special, Shapiro, known for his “facts don’t care about your feelings” adage, was asked by Kelly how he was feeling. He replied, “I don’t do feelings.” The Daily Wire host then added that “early indicators” in places like his home state of Florida could show “good bellwethers” as the polling locations start closing across the country for the election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. “I’ve heard some indicators, some rumblings, from people inside some of the campaigns in Pennsylvania that she, Kamala Harris, is not getting the urban turnout that she’s looking for, thus far,” the Daily Wire host said. “But rural turnout is really, really high, which is, of course, precisely what Trump needs.” “So again, I think that cautious optimism is probably the only response given the data that we are seeing thus far,” he added. “One of the things that I just find hard to comprehend is the possibility that anybody would be enthusiastic voting for her.” “This is the thing I keep coming back to in this election cycle. I have heard a lot of people make the case for Trump. I’m one of those people,” Shapiro continued. “I’ve heard a lot of people make the case against Donald Trump. … The thing I have never heard anyone make is a case for Kamala Harris. Because that case does not exist. Kamala Harris can’t even make a case for Kamala Harris.” Kelly pointed out that some exit polls showed voters put the economy and immigration as their top concerns this election. Shapiro agreed, but pointed out that CNN exit polls had included an option for Democracy, which topped its exit polls, followed by the economy. Shapiro said it’s clear that Donald Trump’s vote is showing up and the real question is whether Kamala’s vote is going to show up. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Shapiro recently talked about how much was at stake in the election and why it’s so important to get out and vote. “You need to vote because there are serious matters at stake, as I discussed yesterday,” Shapiro said. “But there is a broader question at stake today in this election: whether we are a nation that wants to be dynamic, or whether we want to slide into senescence.” “Are we a nation that wants an economy of innovation, or one of redistribution and stagnation? Are we a nation that wants a foreign policy of strength, with powerful allies and our enemies in retreat?” he added. “Or are we a nation that wants to abandon the world stage, handing power to our enemies as the light dies?” “Are we a nation that wants to build on the roots of family and community, or one that wants to trade the institutions that make life worth living in favor of top-down dictation from a self-appointed elite who believe that their untried values ought to supplant time-tested virtues?” Shapiro continued. “Most of all, you need to vote because you owe it to both your ancestors and your progeny to do so.” Related: My Closing Statement: Why I Voted Trump

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Goodwill of Silicon Valley started an innovative venture by launching its first store inside Milpitas’ Elmwood Correctional Facility. This innovative initiative offers hands-on retail training to incarcerated women, preparing them for future work opportunities upon release. Participants receive training in cash handling, inventory management, and customer service twice a week. “I’ll be released with a lot of work experience,” says 30-year-old Myra, one of the first trainees, for whom this is her first job. A unique step forward for incarcerated individuals Goodwill‘s collaboration with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office began following discussions about how to better assist people returning to society. With prior experience at the county’s Reentry Resource Center, Goodwill was well-positioned to develop an impactful program. Trish Dorsey, VP of Mission Services, suggested establishing a store to give training and clothing to women leaving. Empowering women through practical experience The business sells basic essentials ranging from shirts to socks, giving women ready to be released a fresh start in acceptable dress. For 46-year-old Sinica, the opportunity is unprecedented: “To get that experience while in jail, it’s unheard of.” Those who work at the store not only learn new skills, but they also get the opportunity to interview at Goodwill stores once they leave. A broad vision for rehabilitation and reintegration This program’s influence goes beyond vocational training, giving participants confidence and a feeling of purpose. Jessica Castello, VP of Retail at Goodwill Silicon Valley, highlights the human development it fosters: “Not only are we giving them work skills, but we’re also showing them that they matter.” Castello hopes to inspire similar programs around the country, describing the project as “priceless” for its ability to teach dignity and prepare women for life outside. Goodwill and the Elmwood Correctional Facility have developed a pioneering program that not only meets immediate reintegration needs but also encourages wider discussions about recovery. This is a positive step forward, assisting individuals in their journey to employment and independence.The post Goodwill’s new store inside the Silicon Valley Jail offers hope and job skills first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
