The Facts

Other outlets have yet to call the race.According to The Associated Press (AP), former Pres. Donald Trump will return to the White House as the 47th US president after winning Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes at 5:34 am EST Wednesday

  • As of Nov. 6, 3 AM EST, the Associated Press (AP) has called 267 Electoral College votes for Trump, compared to Harris' 224 votes. 270 are needed to win.With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to return to power.

The Spin

Since leaving office in 2021, Donald Trump has endured partisan lawfare and unfair persecution since leaving office in 2021, 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.
