    The win path for Harris is narrowing to Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. She could win 270 electoral votes by winning all of those states, just barely enough to win the election.

    Currently the situation is similar to the 2016 election where the win paths for Hillary Clinton gradually closed as ballots were being counted.

    Trump hasn't won at this point. But projections show he has taken two southern battleground states and made the election razor close. He endorsed Moreno who is projected to beat Brown tonight which helped give control of the U.S. Senate back to Republicans. Those outcomes can be considered remarkable, even if he loses.

    Statement by O'Donoghue.


    Gary O'Donoghue
    Reporting from Trump's watch party

    "It will be interesting see the nature of speeches Donald Trump and JD Vance give and what exactly they will claim and say about the votes still to be counted.

    It's worth thinking about, if this is going the way we think it's going - Donald Trump's way, then we really have to think about the scale of what that achievement would amount to.

    This is a man who is 78 years old, facing four criminal cases (one he has been convicted in and is due to be sentenced in three weeks time), a whole bunch of civil cases, insulted a whole string of demographics and countless scandals over the last eight years.

    Getting back into the White House for a second term is an extraordinary and mind-blowing achievement in political terms."

    The national popular vote with about 125 million counted currently stands at Trump 51.2% and Harris 47.2%.

    The late votes that haven't yet been counted tend to tilt toward Democrats.

    Live election updates: Harris' path to victory grows less forgiving

    excerpt:

    "Forgive Democrats if they are having a bit of déjà vu.

    There are noticeable similarities between then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s election night in 2016 and the one that Harris had planned for tonight at Howard University.

    Neither Clinton nor Harris, appeared at their election night party, despite both heading into Election Day believing they were about to defeat Donald Trump.

    Both sent top aides to inform the demoralized audience that the woman would not speak. And there were noticeable similarities between what each man said.

    “We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted,” Cedric Richmond, Harris’ campaign co-chair, told the audience Tuesday. “So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow.”"

    During his speech after being the projected winner of PA, Trump once again said, like he did in 2016, that he is a uniter and promised to help the country heal.

    Trump also said that RFK, Jr. in an unspecified role in his administration will make America healthy again.

    Donald Trump’s Revenge

    excerpt:

    "Electing Donald J. Trump once could be dismissed as a fluke, an aberration, a terrible mistake—a consequential one, to be sure, yet still fundamentally an error. But America has now twice elected him as its President. It is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be. His victory was a worst-case scenario—that a convicted felon, a chronic liar who mismanaged a deadly once-in-a-century pandemic, who tried to overturn the last election and unleashed a violent mob on the nation’s Capitol, who calls America “a garbage can for the world,” and who threatens retribution against his political enemies could win—and yet, in the early morning hours of Wednesday, it happened."

    Trump will have a U.S. Senate controlled by Republicans.

    He will be able to shut down two federal criminal cases against him and thwart two state criminal cases against him, one of which convicted him on 34 felony counts..

    He will be able to pardon all of his rioters.

    He will have the opportunity to put more justices on the Supreme Court and appoint more federal judges.

    Trump has become only the second person to win two presidential terms that are non-consecutive.

    Grover Cleveland was the other.

    From NBC News.


    "Trump was boosted by several key groups, including Latinos, who shifted toward Trump by double digits, the NBC News Exit Poll found. In 2020, 27% of Latino voters in Pennsylvania cast ballots for Trump. This year, 42% of Latino voters did. Young voters, independents and those with no college degree also moved toward Trump."

    A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Trump on November 26.

    Before sentencing, the case against Trump could be dismissed by Judge Merchan on November 12 based on how Merchan interprets the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.


    https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/01/politics/what-happens-to-trumps-november-sentencing/index.html

    excerpt:

    "Now his lawyers are sketching out several tactics to postpone his sentencing, currently scheduled for November 26, whether he wins or loses the presidential election. How the courts handle these last-ditch efforts will dictate an unprecedented moment in American history and whether and when a former US president serves time in prison.

    “The uniqueness of this entire situation is beyond anything any founding father could have ever contemplated,” said retired New York state Judge Jill Konviser. “There’s no playbook here. You can’t look this up in a law book and find an answer to the query because it doesn’t exist.”

    Previously, prosecutors have not objected to Trump’s bids to delay his sentencing before the election, which Judge Juan Merchan noted in agreeing to postpone Trump’s sentencing until late November. It isn’t clear what position prosecutors will take once all the votes are counted."
