2024 Elections

Donald Trump has become the first convicted felon to be elected U.S. president, according to CNN which called the 2024 presidential election early Wednesday morning.

The Georgia MAGA firebrand, who was re-elected to her seat Tuesday, also declared on X about 1:45 a.m. Wednesday that she was thrilled at the prospect of releasing from prison rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

As a second domino fell to former President Donald Trump late Tuesday, CNN anchors called it "very, very bad news" for Vice President Kamala Harris and pointed to a "flashing light" that spelled doom for her in a critical battleground state.

As CNN projected a Trump win in Georgia, Dana Bash delivered a grim assessment of Harris' chances.

The Republican Party seized control of the Senate late Tuesday as Republican candidates flipped seats in Ohio and West Virginia and fended off a surprising challenge in Nebraska.

Vice President Kamala Harris' path to 270 electoral votes all but hinges on a "massive overperformance" in the suburbs of Philadelphia as she trails in the critical battleground state, according to a political insider.

One of the most critical and intensely-watched Senate contests in America has been called for the Republican challenger.

In the latest high-profile statewide race in Texas, the Senate contest between GOP incumbent Ted Cruz and Democratic Dallas-area Congressman Colin Allred has been called for Cruz.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' strong position in two vital swing states suggests the election could be decided in one whose most populous city former President Donald Trump notoriously described as "horrible," a Washington Post analyst said.
