Donald Trump has officially been elected the 47th president of the United States of America.

Trump was elected to the Oval Office in a landslide victory.

As of 11:50pm PST, Trump won 277 electoral votes, sending him over the needed 270 to clinch the White House. In addition to winning the most electoral votes, he won the popular vote. A Republican has not won the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.

Additionally, Trump would be the second president in history to serve two nonconsecutive terms. The last president to do so was former Democrat President Grover Cleveland in 1892.

Republicans have flipped control of the United States Senate for the first time since 2018.

Ohio GOP nominee Bernie Moreno defeated 18-year Senator Sherrod Brown, while Montana nominee Tim Sheehy defeated incumbent Jon Tester.

On top of Republicans picking up West Virginia’s Senate seat, they now hold 51-seats in the upper chamber.

The win means that Democrat leader Chuck Schumer will no longer be the Senate majority leader after January.

Newsmax First Network to Project Trump Winner

Newsmax projected Donald Trump the winner of the presidency, the first network to do so.

Newsmax made the projection at 1:23 a.m. ET, beating all major news networks.

The projection came minutes after Newsmax called the state of Pennsylvania for Trump.

The Pennsylvania win gave him the magic 270 electoral votes, making him the 47th President of the United States.

"The Pennsylvania race was extremely close, but it became clear that there was no pathway for Kamala Harris to overcome President Trump's lead," Gary Kanofsky, Senior Vice President of News at Newsmax, said.

"We kept crunching the data and it became obvious as more votes came in that Donald Trump had established an insurmountable lead. That's when we were confident it was time to make the call."

Other networks followed Newsmax's lead, including Fox News, which called the race for Trump a half hour later.

Trump beat Kamala Harris after picking up key victories in swing states Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Georgia in picking Trump became the first to flip from the 2020 results. Joe Biden narrowly carried Georgia in 2020, but Republicans have won every other Georgia presidential vote since 1996.

Harris and Trump had their eyes on seven battleground states before the election: Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada.

Trump took North Carolina first, followed by Georgia, Pennsylvania and then Wisconsin.

Heritage President Issues MASSIVE CHALLENGE to Christian Voters

Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, says individual freedoms are on the line with the election. Roberts asks people of faith if they enjoy being called garbage for valuing their right to bear arms, faith and freedom of speech. Roberts asks Christians to look at the policies of both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to determine who best represents their interests as followers of Jesus.

Agenda47: President Trump’s Pledge to Homeschool Families

Bedminster, NJ — In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump promised to serve as a champion for America's homeschool families.

"As President, it has been my honor to support America’s homeschool families—and to protect the God-given right of every parent to be the steward of their children’s education," President Trump said.

President Trump pledged to allow homeschool parents to use 529 education savings accounts to spend up to $10,000 a year per child, completely tax-free, to spend on costs associated with homeschool education.

President Trump will also work to ensure that every homeschooled family is entitled to full access to the benefits available to non-homeschooled students—including participating in athletic programs, clubs, after school activities, educational trips, and more.

TRANSCRIPT

As President, it was my honor to support America’s homeschool families—and to protect the God-given right of every parent to be the steward of their children’s education.

Since the China Virus, America has seen an estimated 30 PERCENT increase in homeschool enrollment.

If I am re-elected, I will do everything I can to support parents who make the courageous choice to homeschool.

Under the Trump tax cuts, we allow families to use 529 Education Savings Accounts to spend up to $10,000 a year tax free on tuition for grades K through 12. This was a tremendous win for School Choice -- very important, school choice, remember that term —and yet, that benefit did not apply to homeschoolers.

So to support the growing homeschool movement, in my next term, I will immediately fight to allow homeschool parents the same incredible benefit--$10,000 a year per child, completely tax free, to spend on costs associated with homeschool education.

I will also work to ensure that every homeschool family is entitled to full access to the benefits available to non-homeschooled students—including participating in athletic programs, clubs, after school activities, educational trips, and more.

To every homeschool family, I will be your champion.

Do not vote Democrat. They are looking to destroy you if you don’t mind my saying that. Joe Biden can’t put two sentences together and yet he is looking to destroy you. Do not vote Democrat. Do not vote for Crooked Joe.

Vote for Honest Donald.

Thank you very much.

Trump’s Secret Service Protection DOWNGRADED To Protect IRANIAN President?!

The Secret Service experienced some more bad optics. It was tasked with protecting the President of Iran, a national sponsor of state terrorism who was implicated in a plot to kill former President Trump. Because of this, Donald Trump announced that he had to downgrade his venue in Wisconsin because there wasn't enough protection available. Protecting THE head of a state sponsor of terrorism while former President Donald Trump complains about reduced resources? Former Navy SEAL Erik Prince joins in to break down this mess.
