“They are going to blame this on Kamala Harris – but Joe Biden and the Democrats made this mess.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — The Republican Party, largely neutered over the past four years with a divided Congress and President joe Biden in the White House, rode Donald Trump’s popularity with voters across the country to a likely Republican sweep of government Tuesday – and It was the equivalent of a Political Earthquake.
Donald Trump’s historic White House win reverberated through Washington, D.C. and across the nation Wednesday, after an astonishing political comeback that upended the national media's narratives, the pollsters predictions, and the Democrat Party elite's desperate expectations.The results were so broad and so deep, they could reset the political landscape in Washington for decades.
Grudging acceptance by even his staunchest Democrat opponents had settled in by mid-Wednesday morning – partly because Mr. Trump was already planning his second term from his Mar-a-Lago home, and partly because his massive victory came much sooner and more decisively than almost anyone expected.
Just a day after the election, Mr. Trump’s shocking, likely sweep of almost every Battleground State – and his unexpected Popular Vote victory over Vice President Kamala Harris – showed that his triumph would have major repurcussions all the way down the ballot, that his coat-tails would allow Republicans capture the Senate, and put the GOP on track to possibly even grow their majority in the House of Representatives.
Those developments will increase his and Republicans chances for implementing the president-elect’s "Make America Great Again" proposals to:
- Lower Taxes
- Reduce Regulation
- Ramp up Energy Production
- Cut Spending, and
- Shrink the Size of Government
There would be no counting of various Swing State Ballots for days, or lawsuits that dragged out for weeks to deliberate potentially election-changing results.
By 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, Mr. Trump had won the race after crushing Ms. Harris in the Battleground States of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – and coming startlingly close to overtaking other deep-blue areas of the country like Virginia.- By Wednesday evening, only the battlegrounds of Nevada & Arizona had yet to be called – and Mr. Trump was leading in both.
His wins in the swing states were substantial.
Donald Trump surpassed Kamala Harris by nearly 140,000 votes in Pennsylvania – a state pollsters had forever declared deadlocked, and "too close to call" even the day before.
He surpassed her by nearly 120,000 votes in Georgia, where, like Pennsylvania, he narrowly lost in 2020.

It was a Landslide
Wednesday brought shock and self-reflection from stunned Democrats – and euphoria for Republicans over the size and scope of Trump’s victory.
The stock market began surging in overseas, pre-dawn hours around the globe, eventually jumping 1,508 points to hit a record high of 43,730.
The president-elect’s transition team, which has been meeting for weeks, is busy readying a second Trump Administration while House and Senate Republicans plot legislative strategies to move bills through both chambers and send to his desk for signature.
“We have saved America,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican.
“We are ready to get to work for the American people.”
A measure to extend the individual tax cuts passed during Mr. Trump's first term as president, which are scheduled to expire next yer, could also include additional tax reductions, is likely to be handled first.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, congratulated the incoming president and noted that Mr. Trump is the first president to win a nonconsecutive, second term as presidential since 1892.
“What he’s accomplished has not been done since Grover Cleveland,” McConnell said.
Now, Mr. Trump’s political resurrection is complete. He helped Mr. McConnell – who is stepping down after two decades of Senate leadership – achieve his goal of handing off a Republican Senate majority to his successor.
The defeat of Mr. Biden’s vice president and four years of Democrat policies – which led to near-historic inflation levels, rising interest rates and an explosion of overseas conflicts – was resounding.
“They are going to blame this on Kamala Harris – she wasn’t a perfect candidate, but let’s be honest, she probably did as well as she could.
"She saved Democrats from an even bigger R landslide.
"Joe Biden and the Democrats made this mess,” Mitchell said.
