Fox News Politics: The once and future POTUS
The 2024 presidential election cycle has come to a close, with President-elect Donald Trump projected to win the presidency and return to the White House on January 20. The election night was filled with surprises, including Vice President Kamala Harris not addressing supporters and Florida Republicans celebrating the defeat of an abortion amendment.
In his victory speech, President-elect Trump vowed to lead a “golden age of America” and restore the country to greatness. He expressed gratitude for being spared to fulfill this mission. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi arrived at Howard University to witness Harris concede the race, tears in her eyes.
Republican lawmakers reacted to the projected Trump victory, welcoming him back to the White House. Vice President-elect JD Vance promised to “never stop fighting” for Americans following his election victory.
On Capitol Hill, there is a shift in power as Democrats privately fret about losing the House after the GOP victory in the White House and Senate. Speaker Mike Johnson congratulated President-elect Trump and expressed confidence in the GOP’s ability to maintain the majority in the House.
In key battleground states, there were notable victories and defeats. Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy ousted three-term Senator Jon Tester in Montana, while New York Representative Mike Lawler secured a critical win for the House GOP. In swing states like Pennsylvania, Democrats conceded races to GOP challengers.
Across America, there were significant ballot measures and developments. Seven states voted to protect abortion rights, while three maintained restrictions. Arizona backed having local law enforcement arrest suspected illegal immigrants, and California passed Prop. 36 to reverse some soft-on-crime policies.
As the country processes the outcome of the election, faith leaders react to Trump’s re-election, and media outlets struggle to understand how it happened. The 2024 campaign trail may have come to an end, but the impact of this election will be felt for years to come. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive interviews on FoxNews.com.
