Donald Trump has won the U.S. Presidential election in a likely landslide as the Republican wins or is ahead in all seven swing states and the popular vote in a historic comeback. The Telegraph has more.
Donald Trump has declared victory in the U.S. Presidential election, taking to the stage in Florida to address the nation.
The Republican said he had won an “unprecedented and powerful mandate” after taking the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania, while appearing on course to sweep Wisconsin and Michigan in a landslide.
The 78-year-old is also on course to win the popular vote.
Appearing onstage in Palm Beach, Florida alongside his family, running mate J.D. Vance, and UFC head Dana White, Trump told supporters: “This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.“And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal… we made history for a reason tonight.”
He added: “Every single day I will be fighting for you… this is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”
Mr. Vance declared that Trump had mounted “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States”, while Mr. White told the crowd: “The machine… couldn’t stop him.”
The Republican did not mention Kamala Harris in his speech.
Ms. Harris’ results night party at her alma mater in Washington D.C. ended early when her team confirmed she would not address the nation tonight.
Republican strategist Dennis Lennox says:
You really can’t overstate the significance of Trump’s restoration as the first President in the modern era to win a second, non-consecutive term. Forget Nixon or Cleveland. This is the biggest comeback in American political history, given how many times he was considered down and out.
The state of play as at 9am (GMT) this morning:
The Republicans have also taken control of the Senate and are very likely to consolidate control of the House giving the party control of Congress.
The result once again confounds the pollsters, who had consistently put Harris ahead nationally and in many of the swing states. Even as late as the exit poll they were reporting a high female turnout boosting Harris with voters’ priorities said to be Democrat talking points.
Last week a shock poll by Ann Selzer predicted that Harris would beat Trump by three points in Iowa, a red state, sending betting odds into a spin. In the event, Trump won Iowa by 14 points – the poll was 17 points out. A red-faced Selzer said she will be “reviewing” why her poll got it so wrong.
“The poll findings we produced for the Des Moines Register and Mediacom did not match what the Iowa electorate ultimately decided in the voting booth today,” Selzer said in a statement. “I’ll be reviewing data from multiple sources with hopes of learning why that happened. And, I welcome what that process might teach me.”
But this keeps happening, to the point that many wonder if opinion polls don’t function more like regime propaganda than actual barometers of public opinion, giving Left-wing leaders a false veneer of popularity. More likely pollsters just aren’t very good at correcting for the biases in their polling methods. But the problem is so persistent that one wonders if they don’t in fact like it that way, despite frequently winding up with egg on their faces.
Reflecting on Trump’s victory, the Telegraph‘s Camilla Tominey says Kamala Harris ran the worst Presidential campaign in modern American history and only has herself to blame.
For the truth of the matter is that, despite the fawning celebrity patronage, the social media sycophancy and favourable news coverage – Harris ran the most dreadful campaign in modern Presidential history.
Between giggling fits and comedy skits, her offer to the American people was completely lacking in substance – amounting to little more than an “anyone but Trump” overture.
She actively avoided media scrutiny, and when she did agree to be interviewed, spent much of the allotted time trashing Trump rather than detailing what she would do differently.
Asked what she would alter about Joe Biden’s Presidency, which saw prices shoot up by 20%, employment levels fail to return to pre-pandemic levels, and interest rates increase sharply, she effectively replied: “Nothing.” She claimed to be the “change” candidate when all she was really offering was more of the same.
Her position on both the war in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine was clear as mud – while on the home front, she had no credible answer to how to restore living standards, or fix any of America’s other domestic problems. A pronoun-stating virtue signaller, she has flexed her progressive muscles with lots of female friendly abortion rhetoric – and yet contradicted her supposedly pro-sisterhood stance by refusing to distance herself from gender ideologues and trans extremism.
Trump capitalised on this wokery – telling voters: I’m for you, Harris is for they/them. It cut through.

MAGA. The greatest comeback and victory evah. The Deep State + the Bolsheviks spent U$2.1 billion or more to stop him. They threatened, lawfared, attempted to kill him 3x, imprisoned his allies and used their fake news propaganda to demonise him. Of course the Drumpf is Hitler etc.
A chance for America.
God bless US voters.
RFK Jr, and Musk….what a team he can build. End the Wars. End the Deep State. End Pharma. Close that god damn border.
Not this time, no Rona lockdown. Understand now why Rona happened in late 2019?
Simply Iconic. Kamalalalarama and the actor playing Biden? Where are their iconic moments?
I do believe Senator Rand Paul is on board as well.
With RF Kennedy they would make a formidable team against big pharma.
Yes Judy. “they would make a formidable team” with the emphasis on “would” which is pregnant waiting for the ‘but’.
And the ‘but’ is that I expect both will sadly and remarkably coincidentally be dead within a year seemingly from ‘natural causes’.
There are more sophisticated ways of killing people these days than there have ever been in history.
And Trump has proven himself to have far more of the interests of the USA at heart than he is given credit for. Hopefully the appointment of RFK Jnr will be fulfilled by him and that will be the start of something good for America’s children and families.
I sincerely hope my fears for the safety of these two brave and righteous men are unfounded.
With Trump as President The United States will carry on being a constitutional republic. Thank God.
“I’m for you, Harris is for they/them.”
A great line, whoever came up with it.
Now to see how much of what he has promised he actually delivers, or is allowed to deliver.
I want to see Musk get to work on reforming the state bureaucracy and RFK Jr getting rid of immunity on jabs for phatma companies.
That would be a good start.
Don’t forget Tulsi and JD Vance. I think it’s a massive difference from last time Trump made it this far. Energy efficiency and independence using gas and oil is the thing that will turn it round quickly.
I think the stolen 2020 election – and 2022 elections – and the last 4 years will have shown Donald how deep the swamp really is and he can start draining it with public support come January. I guess the FBI, CIA, DoJ etc will be rushing to burn documents and wipe computers.
Like RFK Assassination, if they had nothing to hide, why the secrecy when most involved would be retired or dead.
I have no clue if he’ll be a good president, but I felt in my bones that Harris would be a disaster.
I laughed when I read the headline because I imagined how many apocalyptic X posts and wailing lefties we’re going to see. Expect more hyperbole
Like him or not, he is at least authentic. And he’s not and never will be a nazi. He needs to take a wrecking ball to the system and expose the crap that’s been going on.
How strange that my reaction to his second term is so different than to his first. But so much has happened since then I’m hardly the same person.
Popcorn time…
Drill Baby Drill!
So the AntiChrist won, as planned. Bow down and worship, until your eyes are opened.
Literally the devil
Exaggeration much? Don’t tell me you were team blue?
The AntiChrist is not the same demonic being as the Devil. There are many demonic beings in the spirit world, not just one.
Both of the US candidates were Globalists, all in cahoots with the Satanic Illuminati Mafia Gang that has seized control of all our governments.
You are james delingpole and I claim my 10 pounds.
You flatter me!
Is James Delingpole an idiot?
Someone seems to be. Or is it heresy to suggest that?
How is this possible?
I have copied and pasted the votes above [up] = -1 and [down] = -7.
Even the upvote is minus?
In this case quite rightly so but reminiscent of the US voting machine which turned Trump votes into Harris votes regardless of the best efforts of anyone to prevent that.
Yes, that has happened a lot with my comments, and those of others I tried to upvote. It’s weird.
No, she lost.
Someday you will see that nobody gets to be leader of any country unless they are a fully paid-up member of the Illuminati.
Kamala is an imbecile.
Drumpf is The AntiChrist.
“Drumpf is The AntiChrist.”
No, he’s just a very naughty boy …
Same thing with the votes on this comment as I noted in my comment here:
I have copied and pasted the votes above which are currently [up] = -1 and [down] = -8.
Even the upvote is minus?
Software with a sense of humour?
A heresy perhaps?
It happens a lot with my comments, and also with those of other people I tried to upvote…
Retard much?
How low IQ are the Harris voters? KamalalalaRama.
And she won which primary? and which election? and what policies were successful in the last 4 years? and which war would go nuclear if she had won?
Reading-impaired, much?
Thinking impaired, much?
Like it or not the choice was between very bad and perhaps not as good as the American people would like. There are no more Eisenhowers to choose these days
The choice was between two members of the same Illuminati Mafia.
Illuminati? Does that mean not only can’t you hold a candle to them, there is no point trying?
They are among the Forces of Darkness parasitizing and trying to devour the Forces of Light.
They call themselves “Illuminati” because they are lit up with Stolen Light.
Gret News—-The Climate Crap will be torn up. That just leaves Europe being conned by the Eco Communists and we must all expose that fraud everywhere.
I hope he dumps the Paris Accord immediately this time and doesn’t bother with giving a year’s notice.
I sincerely hope that you are right. But I expect the UK government will press ahead with this insanity, as other countries start to row back from it.
Huge congrats to Trump and Vance. We can all breathe a massive sigh of relief now, and I do believe freedom-loving patriots in the USA can begin the process of being unburdened by what has just been. Let the draining of the swamp begin! Here’s Katie, who speaks for me and I’m sure many others. There really isn’t enough copium to go around when it comes to the epic Woketard fallout and Leftie muppet meltdowns. I’m just glad the internet ( Twitter, at least ) keeps receipts;

“patriots in the USA can begin the process of being unburdened by what has just been.”
Now that’s how to throw it back at them. Terrific Mogs. Those words should be etched on her box when she goes to the incinerator.
The most important thing for me
MAHA – Make America Healthy Again.
Kennedy has the brief. Hopefully Deep State/Bigpharma/MSM can be destroyed forever.
Never forget. Bigpharma are just snake oil salesmen in posh siuts :-

That and an end to Ukraine/Zelensky warmongers – and in the UK that’s you Starmer.
Oh, and the Guardian.
He did call Zelensky a ‘Salesman’. So looking good.
Well that’s positive news at last – as usual, the silent majority speak last… Trump is a character, and not to everyone’s taste, however he certainly seems more genuine than the opposition, gaffes and all.
the sheer effort of the opposition to ‘denounce’ him via celebrity, media, censorship etc speaks for itself and shows how weak they, and clearly their positions, are.
The lesser of two evils.
At least he has a team around him who are making the right noises.
RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard in particular.
He’s at 279 now – he’s definitely in. I can hear the wailing of colleagues and some friends already…
Lap it up!
Excellent news!
What shocks me is how many people voted for Harris
It’s probably only a few people who all voted twice and thrice by exploiting the fact that they were all masked.
[NB: That’s a joke I wanted to make. I have nothing to support this statement.]
Last week a shock poll by Ann Selzer predicted that Harris would beat Trump by three points in Iowa, a red state, sending betting odds into a spin. In the event, Trump won Iowa by 14 points – the poll was 17 points out. A red-faced Selzer said she will be “reviewing” why her poll got it so wrong.
The pollsters got the UK 2015 General election wrong too. The Report of the Inquiry into the 2015 British general election opinion polls was published on 30 March 2016.
In the executive summary of the report it states ‘In historical terms, the 2015 polls were some of the most inaccurate since election polling first began in the UK in 1945. However, the polls have been nearly as inaccurate in other elections but have not attracted as much attention because they correctly indicated the winning party.’.
Or more concisely: it was as inaccurate as some other previous polls – but nobody minded before.
The summary also states ‘Our conclusion is that the primary cause of the polling miss in 2015 was unrepresentative samples.’.
OK – now we have a new term for the inaccuracy, a ‘polling miss’. And it was mostly caused by asking the wrong people. No! Really?
To be fair, the summary does make a very important point: ‘We reject deliberate misreporting as a contributory factor in the polling miss…’.
Or: we were wrong but we didn’t mean to be.
A huge relief.
What I find most surprising/concerning is how almost 50% of the population voted for Harris, who must be the most unlikeable presidential candidate, probably ever, who has been part of the most disastrous presidential administration, probably ever.
They might counter that Trump is considered unlikeable by a huge portion of the electorate, and that a Mitt Romney type might have done better with those folk though. I doubt it though.
I find it ominous.
Don’t think they were voting FOR Harris they were voting AGAINST Trump.
Ahem.
As predicted.
Now watch the fur fly.
Another nail in the globalist, carbonist, immigrationist coffin.
For Germany, who’s presently the president of the United Nations of Our Enemies probably doesn’t make of a dfference. But Trump is certainly a better outcome than Harris. He’ll certainly at least slow train of madness down somewhat.
“… many wonder if opinion polls don’t function more like regime propaganda…”
No we don’t “wonder” at all – it’s the bleedin’ obvious.
”… reporting a high female turnout boosting Harris with voters’ priorities said to be Democrat talking points.”
Making it the Femocrat Party – all about women including Kamala Pantsuit – reduced the voter pool by 50%. Not a good strategy.
“Reflecting on Trump’s victory, the Telegraph‘s Camilla Tominey says Kamala Harris ran the worst Presidential campaign…”
I disagree: she ran a magnificent campaign… for Trump.
Wow! I live in the Western edge of Virginia and there are lots of transplanted Serbs, Macedonians, Greeks, lots of people from Eastern Europe. 1st, 2nd generation. Amazing how conservative they are and rooted in reality. The ones I work with all smiles today!
