Donald Trump has won the election, making him the president-elect and the second U.S. president to serve non-consecutive presidential terms since Grover Cleveland, who won the 1884 and 1892 presidential elections.
Cleveland, unlike Trump, knew that imposing tariffs on imported goods would push the cost onto American consumers so he refused to propose any. This is not a joke.
CBS News posed the question, “When will Trump take office as president?” to readers on Nov. 6.
The real question is whether he will leave office when his term is up.
U.S. stocks soared after Donald Trump declared victory in the presidential election, according to ABC News on Nov. 6.

Florida had two major ballot initiatives to vote on this past election, including enshrining abortion rights and legalizing recreational marijuana.

Naturally, since the majority of Florida voters approved of these amendments, both were rejected.
The Hill reported on Nov. 6 that Nevada has approved abortion rights through a ballot measure. Under state law, voters will need to approve it again in 2026 before the Nevada constitution is formally amended.
I’d like to congratulate Nevada for making sure abortion rights are available to everyone. Over 60% of the state voted to enshrine those rights. There’s no chance that 50% of the voters would put a man into office who will potentially implement a national abortion ban. Right?

Republicans have taken the Senate majority, leading to the question of who will fill the role of Senate majority leader, which Mitch McConnell recently stepped down from.
The options were between South Dakota’s John Thune, Texas’ John Cornyn and Florida’s Rick Scott.
Thune denounced Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, but later endorsed him in the 2024 election; Cornyn voted against a commission to investigate the insurrection; and Scott was one of the people pushing the conspiracy theories that led to the events of Jan. 6.
Great options.

The Hill reported on Nov. 12 that David Axelrod said the claim that President Joe Biden could have defeated Donald Trump in the election as “bulls—.”
