Update:

In a historic comeback that would make Grover Cleveland proud, Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office after clinching a decisive Electoral College victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. And it wasn’t even close. Trump, at 78, reversed his 2020 losses in the swing states that eluded him last time around—Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—drumming up support among his white rural and working-class base and even making headway with minority voters. The message was clear: Americans are ready for a change, and they’re putting their chips back on Trump.

With an air of triumph, Trump celebrated his return to power at a lively gathering at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, just a stone’s throw from Mar-a-Lago. “There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond,” he announced, sparking cheers from his supporters. “We’re going to help our country heal,” he declared. “And it needs help very badly.” He wasn’t coy about his plans either, vowing to fix the borders and set things right in a nation that’s been desperate for relief.

As Republicans rode the wave of Trump’s victory, they also reclaimed the Senate, bringing an end to four years of a Democratic majority. The House is still a nail-biter, with the final count too close to call as of early Wednesday, but Republicans are brimming with confidence.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night was Trump’s performance in the popular vote. For the first time in over 20 years, a Republican is projected to win the raw vote total. Watching this unfold must have been particularly brutal for Harris supporters, who had packed Howard University’s campus with hopes of seeing history in the making. But, in a scene echoing 2016, the crowd was instead greeted by somber news. Campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond addressed the stunned crowd, explaining that Harris would not be appearing that night. “We still have votes to count,” he said. “You won’t hear from the vice president tonight.”

This win cements Trump’s place in the record books as only the second president to serve non-consecutive terms, joining the ranks of Cleveland himself. In a fitting final statement, Trump promised, “I will fight for you, for your family and your future—every single day.” He has vowed to make this era “the golden age of America,” a strong assertion that’s sure to fire up both sides of the aisle.

As previously reported, Donald Trump’s latest ad dropped just in time to remind voters what’s really at stake as we head into the final days of the election.

Aired during Sunday’s NFL games, Trump’s message didn’t dance around the issues; he went straight to the point, speaking directly to Americans who’ve been hit hard by an economy that feels like it’s on life support. He pointed out that we’re now seeing some of the worst economic numbers in decades, with job growth at a virtual standstill. And he’s not wrong—recent reports confirm that job creation has practically ground to a halt, and inflation is still eating into everyone’s wallets.

In the ad, Trump paints a stark picture: “We’re losing jobs. We’re losing everything, including viability. We’re going to end up in a depression based on what’s been happening.” His message is loud and clear: if we stay on the current path, things aren’t getting better. And he’s not holding back on who he blames, calling out Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic leadership for their role in the economic nosedive and other crises.

Trump is giving voters a simple reminder of what they’ve been living through over the past four years: rising prices, eroded job markets, and a border that seems to be in worse shape with each passing day. What Trump is really tapping into here is that feeling of frustration and disappointment that so many Americans are feeling right now.

He isn’t trying to paint a rosy picture or pretend that everything’s okay—he’s recognizing that it’s not, and he’s offering a way to change course. “We’ve got to save our country, and it needs saving. It’s in very bad shape,” he says, hammering home the urgency of this election. It’s refreshing for many voters who are tired of hearing that everything is “fine” from leaders who are far removed from everyday realities. Trump’s message resonates because he’s not afraid to say that things are actually a mess, and he’s got a plan to fix it.

He closes with a rallying cry to “go and vote” because, as he sees it, this truly is the “most important election in the history of our country.” It’s not a new line from Trump, but in a moment when Americans are watching their grocery bills soar, the weight of those words hits a little harder.

Trump knows he’s not speaking to the D.C. elite here; he’s speaking to people who are fed up with inflation, higher taxes, and watching their hard-earned money buy less and less. He’s calling on Americans to vote not just for a candidate but for a chance to reverse course and bring some stability back. So, while the ad may seem simple on the surface, it’s delivering a powerful message: Vote now, or get ready to buckle up for four more years of economic chaos.
