Democrat Kamala Harris conceded the election yesterday after Republican Donald Trump declared victory early in the day when his Electoral College victory appeared secure.
According to the Associated Press, 67.9% of Idahoans voted for Trump, and 29.5% voted for Harris. In Latah County, the tally was 52.2% for Trump and 44.2% for Harris. Nationwide, Trump received about 50.8% of the popular vote, and Harris garnered about 47.5%, not considering a comparatively small number of votes for independent candidates.
This election was focused on seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. All seven swing states voted for Trump, giving him the lead and victory in the race.
JD Vance, former Ohio Senator, will serve as Trump’s Vice President.
Republicans gained three seats in the Senate and will now have a minimum of 52 senators in Congress for a majority. As of last night, Republicans hold a 212 – 197 seat lead in the House of Representatives, with 218 required for a majority. The final results were not available last night.
Trump’s website has his agenda for this presidential term laid out, with plans to begin with “[Sealing] the border and [stopping] the migrant invasion.” Many of his agenda points revolve around cracking down on illegal immigration.
Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States on Jan. 20, 2025.

The Donald did very well in the election, showing the world that he had a better election preparation team than his opponents the Democrats. The Republicans had been working for over three years developing, establishing and initiating their propaganda machine, recruitment drives, election preparation and transportation to ballot centres. Donald Trumps Republicans won fair and square. It seems many women voted for the democrats, while a whole lot of men voted for their guy. What drove America's Men to the Republicans? 1. Men like to be the centre of attention in all things. Kamala Harris made women her central purpose. 2. Men have a smaller attention span than women. They think primarily about sex, sports, alcohol consumption and sex again. Simply put many men saw the democrats berate a guy(Trump) they would like to have a beer with. Strangely Trumps likeability with the guys was much higher than with the ladies. Ladies preferred to center upon certain issues such as ending abortion, religious issues, protecting the children. 3.Men saw Donald Trump as a action figure, promising what matter most to men, while V.P. Harris seemed like a bitter henpecking woman. 4. For the guys, the election came down to these issues...national defence, job security, border security and the cost of living. Kamala Harris had answers for just a few of these issues. Being in power for 4 years already, Harris could not explain why everything was so costly and what she would do about it, why migrants continued to enter the country seemingly with ease, and why America's Military was not bombing the hell out of its enemies overseas? Donald Trump gave short, simple answers to the American People, often things that they can understand, while the democrats answer to most things was long, winded or simply not sufficiently presented. Messaging went over many peoples heads, and did not center upon what Americans wanted most of all. What was in it for the average American? Donald Trumps political machine continually asked them what they wanted, while the democrats told the average Joe what they wanted. Messaging, Messaging, Messaging. Now we are stuck with a leader whose vocabulary is that of a eight year old, a golfers delight, a woman's terror and a nations question persists: What is he going to do next????
