The Facts

  • As reported by Fox News, Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States. He is the second president in American history to win non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland.

  • Trump has reportedly won 266 Electoral College votes, compared to Harris' 188 votes.


The Spin

Since leaving office in 2021, Donald Trump has endured partisan lawfare and unfair persecution, and today’s result is a resounding victory for the American people. This is a mandate for strong borders, a robust economy, an America First approach to foreign policy, and a rejection of failed left-leaning policies. The new Trump administration will pursue bold visions to Make America Great Again.

The Democratic Party and the American people will not stand by and let Trumpist policies and Project 2025 run roughshod over institutions and vulnerable people. The Democratic Party believes in checks and balances and the strength of institutions — the American people must rest assured that their voices will be heard in the months ahead even though this is a disappointing result.
