2016 ALL OVER AGAIN: The Liberal Media Absolutely Lost It When Trump Won the 2024 Election. For people who are constantly yammering about “protecting democracy,” they don’t seem to allow for the fact that other people get a vote, and that if you want them to vote your way you need to give them a reason.

FROM A FRIEND:

SALENA ZITO: There Will Never Be Another Candidate Like Trump. “Inside the arena, one could witness the emergence of a new coalition of Republican voters: union workers, nurses, janitors, businessmen and women, doctors, lawyers, police officers, and college students of every race and generation. They were there because of their support for former President Donald Trump. However, they were there more for their support of each other. There will never be another candidate for president of the United States like Trump. For his detractors, that is a relief. However, they should understand that whether Trump wins or loses, these voters are here to stay. They have seen what the power of the cultural curators in our country, in academia, media, Hollywood, institutions, and corporations, and in the bureaucracies has done to their lives, and they have rejected it.”

WELL, THAT’S JUST ELIE MYSTAL DOING HIS JOB:

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE:

GOOD NEWS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP: It Is Official: The GOP Captures the Senate. “With Bernie Moreno in Ohio winning and Jim Justice in West Virginia winning, the Republican Party will control the United States Senate. In a few hours, Jon Tester is expected to lose. Likewise, Republicans may still pick up Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The margin of the GOP majority is to be determined, but it is now safe to say the GOP will be in charge of the Senate.”

HMM:

PROBABLY:

TRUMP TAKES GEORGIA:

I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HER RIGHT NOW:

I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IF IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR THOSE MEDDLING KIDS PODCASTERS:

NEWS FROM THE BLUE ZONES:

OPEN THREAD: Anything happening today?

NYT’S NEEDLE GOES TO LEANS TRUMP:

We’ll know soon enough.

UPDATE: The needle’s moved considerably in less than an hour:

ANOTHER UPDATE: Half an hour after the last update, things keep evolving:

And if, as seems very possible, Trump wins the popular vote, then the National Popular Vote Compact comes into play, giving him practically all the remaining blue state electoral votes. Watch them try to wriggle out of it if that happens.
