Trump Speaks With Humility to Supporters at HQ After Victory on Election Night
With the occasional chants of "U.S.A, U.S.A." and "I love you" from the crowd, former president, Donald Trump spoke to supporters at his campaign's West Palm Beach, Florida, headquarters after Decision Desk HQ projected that he would claim the presidency once again. BREAKING: Donald Trump Projected to Win Presidency The room was filled with friends and supporters like Las Vegas casino developer Steve Wynn, surrogate and former GOP presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Brick Suit. But Trump said he also had "thousands of friends in this incredible movement" known as MAGA. At times, Trump appeared humbled by what now appears to be a massive electoral victory:
He also thanked his wife Melania, whom he said "currently has the number-one book in the country. Can you believe it?" Then he thanked the members of his family, many of whom thronged around him on stage, alongside campaign staffers:
He promised to be the president for every American, "with every breath in my body," while promising to deliver on the commitments he has made to strengthen and protect the nation, and revive the U.S, economy:
Trump announced to the crowd that the Trump-Vance campaign had indeed won the popular vote:
The 47th president-elect then congratulated running mate Senator JD Vance (R-OH), who will now become the vice president-elect, along with thanking Vance's wife, Usha. Trump marveled at the fact that Vance seems to "look forward" to appearing on legacy media outlets:
Vance spoke briefly, thanking Trump:
Later, Trump pointed out another big supporter on stage, Dana White, the founder of the UFC, and invited him to say a few words. White closed by saying, "This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this." He then thanked "the mighty Joe Rogan" and the president-elect's supporters:
Trump also spoke about the Butler, PA, assassination attempt, and its possible bearing on the election:

Election Night Highlights: the Fun, the Joy, and the Meltdowns by the Media
Tuesday night was definitely a good night as so many people came together to put President Donald Trump over the top to win the presidential race and become the 47th President-elect. There were some moments of great joy, such as the moment Pennsylvania supporters found out. They broke out in praise and song at the Trump victory party, singing "How Great Thou Art," as the people who had been slandered as extremist and "garbage" gave thanks to God. Space X and X owner Elon Musk, who had been so instrumental in saving X and helping Trump, celebrated. He also had a little fun telling people to "let that sink in" as he carried in the kitchen sink.
Musk reminded the folks on X that "You are the media now," after the mainstream media has once again been so discredited. Mainstream media being what they are, they were not having a good night as they had to swallow their anger and report, finally, on Trump's win. They dissolved into arguing on CNN over why the Kamala Harris campaign failed. "Don't look at me like that," one panelist snapped at another.
Ah, how good is that? There are going to be lots of recriminations and second-guessing because Harris made so many, many bad moves in this campaign. Then Chris Wallace tried to paint the horror that might be. Now that Trump has the Senate and could very well have the House, he might have "unchecked power." Now, he's wrong that there haven't been any flips for the Democrats in the House; there have. And we'll see if the GOP holds the House; that's not clear yet. But his meltdown over having the GOP in total control is delicious. Yes, that is what we want — the chance to finally get productive things done and actually fix things. I didn't need another excuse to vote for Trump, but watching the conniptions of the media is certainly enjoyable as they fume.

Photos: See the Reactions From Harris Supporters as Her Political Fate Became Clear
Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris quickly filed out of an election night event at Howard University after Cedric Richmond, Harris-Walz campaign co-chair, announced they would not hear from her. "Thank you for all that you have done. Thank you for being here," he said. "Thank you for believing in the promise of America. 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, that every voice has spoken. "So, you won't hear from the vice president tonight," he continued, with the crowd audibly upset. "But you will hear from her tomorrow. She will be back here tomorrow to address not only the [Howard University] family, not only to address her supporters but to address the nation. So, thank you. We believe in you. May God bless you, may God keep you and go HU you and go Harris. Thank you all." — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 6, 2024

The Liberal Media Absolutely Lost It When Trump Won the 2024 Election
It was a blue mirage. Liberals were confident in beating Donald Trump, despite Kamala Harris's lack of intelligence and political acumen to be president. The polls showed a close race. It ended up being much like 2016—Trump cinched an Electoral College landslide, and he’s going to win the popular vote. On both fronts of their coping sessions, the Left has nothing. You can’t seethe about the Electoral College when Trump won the popular vote. It's time for the Left to realize that Trump isn’t a fluke—he’s at the helm of a movement that outright slaughtered the Democrats last night. Republicans are retaking the White House, retaining the House, and retaking the Senate; they won seven seats. It’s a red tsunami buoyed by working-class voters from all backgrounds.

The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart couldn’t fathom the American people voting for this man. Juan Williams went on a January 6 tirade while MSNBC’s Chris Hayes railed about the Electoral College. Rachel Maddow couldn’t understand how so many people couldn’t realize how great this Joe Biden economy has become. Note to Rachel: using Occam’s razor, if tens of millions think the economy is trash, it means it is. These folks still haven’t been able to venture outside the bubble. Staying on MSNBC, Joy Reid claimed that ethnic cleansing will occur en masse in Gaza while trashing Florida as a proto-fascist state, a creation of Project 2025. CNN’s Van Jones had a whitelash 2.0 moment, where he said that black women were gutted with this election while claiming that the planet was under threat with this incoming Trump presidency.
Reid is always a top meltdown figure, but Capehart’s is top-notch. He does know that Bill Clinton was credibly accused of rape and would get a healthy share of the vote if he were eligible for a third term. Trending on Townhall Videos |
