November 6th, 2024 - Trump Wins

Or at least he's so close to winning as to make no never mind about it. Being Trump he declared victory after winning Pennsylvania rather than waiting to hit 270. Well, I suppose I'm doing the same thing.

4:00 AM

Trump - 266, Harris - 219

Trump leads the popular vote 69.7 million to 64.4 million

Trump has taken Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. He leads in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Maine 2 and Alaska so it's only a matter of time. We appear to be heading for a 312-226 Trump victory. It also looks as if he might be the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.

Senate: GOP - 51, Dems - 41

Andy Kim has won in New Jersey.

Ted Cruz won easily in Texas.

Kari Lake is losing in Arizona

House: GOP - 200, Dems - 172

The GOP has flipped 5 seats and the Dems 2 so a 3 seat gain so far for the GOP.

Josh Gottheimer has won in NJ5.

So we're heading towards a worse case scenario beyond which even I predicted. Oh well, I hope the stock market is happy.
