This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power …

n As I said on the campaign trail, America has been through a lot over the last few years – from a historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from the pandemic, to rapid change and the feeling a lot of folks have that, no matter how hard they work, treading water is the best they can do. Those conditions have created headwinds for democratic incumbents around the world, and last night showed that America is not immune.

n The good news is that these problems are solvable – but only if we listen to each other, and only if we abide by the core constitutional principles and democratic norms that made this country great.

Pence made a brief and unsuccessful run for the Republican nomination, where he criticized Trump for his “reckless” conduct on January 6. He later said he would not endorse his former boss, who had shown little concern as a mob of his supporter attacked the Capitol while Pence was inside, but did not rule out voting for him.

To the young people who are watching, it is OK to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it’s going to be OK. On the campaign, I would often say, ‘When we fight, we win.’ But here’s the thing, here’s the thing, sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win. That doesn’t mean we won’t win. The important thing is, don’t ever give up.

So, to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic party which has abandoned working-class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right,” said Sanders, who was re-elected to a fourth term representing Vermont yesterday.

Today, despite strong opposition from a majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu government’s all out war against the Palestinian people which has led to the horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children.

n Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.

n In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions.

Democrats are still digesting Kamala Harris’s defeat last night, but it has become clear that voters were decisive in choosing Trump over the vice-president. As the below chart shows, he improved his margins in the blue wall states, and turned back Harris’s efforts to win Georgia, as Joe Biden had in 2020, and North Carolina. We still don’t have the results for Nevada and Arizona yet, but he’s leading the count in those states, too.

Americans are digesting Donald Trump’s decisive victory in yesterday’s presidential election, which saw him win every single swing state that has been called so far, make inroads in traditionally Democratic areas, and potentially even become the first Republican in two decades to win the national popular vote. The strength of the former president’s comeback was further confirmed just a few minutes ago, when the Associated Press reported that Trump had won the battleground state of Michigan. Kamala Harris is expected to announce her concession to Trump in a speech at 4pm, after a night that saw her fellow Democrats lose control of the Senate and potentially fail in their attempt to retake the majority in the House of Representatives. Global leaders, from Justin Trudeau in Canada to Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa, have spent today reaching out to welcome Trump back to power.

  Trump has already spoken to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was one of the first world leaders to congratulate him this morning.

  Jeff Bezos, the Amazon billionaire who owns the Washington Post and blocked it from endorsing Harris, congratulated Trump on his win.

  Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the House, predicts his party will maintain its majority. While the outcome of dozens of elections for seats in Congress’s lower chamber have not been called yet, a GOP majority there and in the Senate would allow Trump to enact his legislative agenda, which may include aspects of Project 2025.

  US support to Ukraine is newly uncertain now that Trump is heading back to the White House. The soon-to-be-president has repeatedly said he would bring the war with Russia to a swift conclusion, if elected.

  Nikki Haley, Trump’s former UN ambassador who challenged him unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination, urged Harris to concede.

  Liz Cheney, a Republican former congresswoman who lost her seat after breaking with Trump and later endorsed Harris, called on Americans to accept the election results “whether we like the outcome or not”.

Many climate figures are horrified by the re-election of Donald Trump as president, citing his past denial of climate change and promise to drill for more fossil fuels. But they also say that the progress of cheap, clean energy is now unstoppable, and that action by states, cities and businesses can continue climate action in the US, as during Trump’s first term. The UN climate summit Cop29, starting next week in Azerbaijan, will be attended by Biden officials.

The result from this election will be seen as a major blow to global climate action, but it cannot and will not halt the changes under way to decarbonise the economy and meet the goals of the Paris agreement.

Standing with oil and gas is the same as falling behind in a fast moving world. Clean energy technologies will continue to outcompete fossil fuels. There is an antidote to doom and despair. It’s action on the ground, and it’s happening in all corners of the Earth.”

Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory!

n

I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-US strategic partnership, the victory plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine.

n

I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the “peace through strength” approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer. I am hopeful that we will put it into action together.

n

We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership. We rely on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States.

n

We are interested in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations. Ukraine, as one of Europe’s strongest military powers, is committed to ensuring long-term peace and security in Europe and the transatlantic community with the support of our allies.

n

I am looking forward to personally congratulating President Trump and discussing ways to strengthen Ukraine’s strategic partnership with the United States.

Trump was first elected in 2016, but lost his re-election bid to Joe Biden in 2020, when the Democrat was 77. Trump then spent weeks attempting to prevent his rival from taking office, culminating in the 6 January 2021 insurrection, which saw his supporters attack the US Capitol after Trump addressed them outside the White House.

In the years that followed, prosecutors at the federal level and in the states of Georgia and New York brought felony charges against him, and earlier this year, he was convicted in Manhattan on 34 counts of business fraud, while the other cases have stalled. He was also found liable in a civil court case of sexual abuse.

Trump is bound by term limits, and cannot seek re-election. The only other president to serve two non-consecutive terms was Democrat Grover Cleveland, who was in office from 1885 to 1889, and again from 1893 to 1897.

Polls had Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck for large stretches of the campaign – suggesting a nail-biting election night and potentially days of waiting for a final result. In the end, the Republican nominee took North Carolina surprisingly early, the first battleground state to be called, and later he took Georgia and then Pennsylvania. He was strongly positioned in Arizona and Nevada, other key contests.

  Trump won in Iowa despite the state’s foremost pollster Ann Selzer on Saturday finding Harris leading by a small amount that was nonetheless within the survey’s margin of error. The finding was viewed as a potential sign of strength for Harris in nearby Wisconsin and Michigan, two swing states that are demographically similar to Iowa. The Trump campaign decried Selzer’s poll as an outlier, which turned out to be the case.

This blog is closing now, but we’re continuing our coverage of the aftermath of the US presidential election on our new live blog here.

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has spoken with Trump in a phone call during which he congratulated the president-elect on his victory and discussed trade and security in the region.

The Canada, US and Mexico trade agreement, which was negotiated in Trump’s first term was among the topics discussed, Trudeau’s office said in a statement, adding they spoke about their “shared interest in secure and reliable supply chains and addressing unfair trading practices in the global economy.”

The pair “agreed to stay in close contact”, the statement said.

Xi reiterated that China and the US gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation and that cooperation between the two countries remained a long-term goal, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the US presidential election saw the former president securing an unexpected majority in the popular vote, control of the Senate, and at least 295 electoral college votes – defeating vice-president Kamala Harris in a contest that dominated UK front pages on Thursday.

The Guardian led with two words: “American Dread”, a play on the American dream, alongside a close up portrait of the president-elect.

Americans awoke to a “transformed country and a rattled world” as the realisation of Trump’s stunning return to power started to sink in, wrote the Guardian’s Ed Pilkington, summing up the mood:

Politics tamfitronics Trump to choose personnel in days and weeks ahead

US president-elect Donald Trump will select personnel to serve under his leadership and enact policies that “make the life of Americans affordable, safe, and secure” in the days and weeks ahead, his campaign said on Wednesday.

Here is more detail on Australia’s ambassador in Washington, Kevin Rudd, deleting comments he previously made about Donald Trump after the Republican’s election win.

Rudd said on Thursday the comments did not reflect the view of the Australian government.

Rudd, a former prime minister, had previously made the comments about Trump in his capacity as the head of a US-based thinktank, a statement on his personal website said.

Among the deleted comments, Rudd had in 2020 described Trump as “the most destructive president in history”.

“Out of respect for the office of President of the United States, and following the election of President Trump, Ambassador Rudd has now removed these past commentaries from his personal website and social media channels,” the statement said.

Rudd wanted to “eliminate the possibility of such comments being misconstrued as reflecting his positions as Ambassador and, by extension, the views of the Australian Government”, it added.

Back to what may lie ahead for the House if Republicans regain their majority, from Reuters:

For the past two years, members of the House Republicans’ unruly and narrow majority have repeatedly gotten in their own way, voting against bills backed by their leaders and leaving them to rely on Democratic support to approve must-pass bills, Reuters reports.

Even a more disciplined Republican majority will face barriers, including the Senate rule known as the filibuster, which requires 60 of its 100 members to agree to pass most legislation, a threshold the new Senate will not clear with Republican votes alone.

A workaround, known as “budget reconciliation,” allows the Senate to pass budget-related matters with a simple majority. Republicans used this in the first two years of Trump’s first term, as did Democrats during the first two years of President Joe Biden’s term, when they had control of Congress.

Yet budget reconciliation is a limited power. Measures passed with this manoeuvre must be at least plausibly linked to revenues and spending.

In late 2021, the Senate’s parliamentarian rejected a bid by Democrats to use reconciliation to grant work permits to millions of immigrants living in the US illegally.

Should the 60-vote filibuster rule block a Trump priority next year, he could call on Senate leaders to do away with it, as he repeatedly put pressure on them to do early in his first term, and as some Democrats urged early in Biden’s term.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell upheld the filibuster against repeated Trump demands to ditch it during the president-elect’s first term.

McConnell will now step down as leader. While the top two candidates to replace him – John Thune and John Cornyn – have said the rule will stay, they and others who might seek the role have yet to face Trump’s direct pressure.

And McConnell predicted on Wednesday that the filibuster will remain.

Politics tamfitronics Democratic congressman Jimmy Gomez wins re-election to House

Jimmy Gomez won re-election to a US House seat representing California on Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

He defeated fellow Democrat and children’s court attorney David Kim, who was running against him for the third time in a row. Gomez was first elected to Congress in 2017.

The district is almost entirely in the city of Los Angeles, and is majority Hispanic with a sizeable Asian American and white population. Roughly 20% live in poverty, and it is one of the poorest districts in the state. The Associated Press declared Gomez the winner at 8.36pm ET.

House majority leader Steve Scalise, who has said he is running for the position again, told Reuters that Republicans aim to recreate the economic growth experienced early in Trump’s first term, before the Covid pandemic struck in 2020 and sent the economy into a steep decline.

Republicans point to buoyant gains in federal tax receipts since 2017 as proof that Trump’s tax cuts raised revenues, and say his current agenda will bring more of the same.

“History has shown when you reduce the overall tax burden on families, not only do their paychecks go up, but the amount of money coming into the federal government actually increases,” said Scalise.

“As long as you’re controlling spending, that economic growth will actually get you more money to help pay down the deficit.”

But the revenue increase they cite is in nominal receipts driven by inflation and an expanding economy. That turns into a decline when the size of the economy is taken into account, Reuters reports.

“The Trump tax cuts really did cut tax revenue, and what the Republicans are pointing to as phenomenal growth in tax receipts doesn’t actually exist,” said Marc Goldwein, CRFB senior policy director.

Politics tamfitronics House majority leader, Steve Scalise, outlines plans for Trump’s first 100 days

During Trump’s first 100 days in office, Republicans will “lock in the Trump tax cuts”, “unleash American energy” and “surge resources to the southern border”, among other measures, Scalise writes in his letter.

On energy, these policies include mandating lease sales, opening federal lands, including the Arctic national wildlife refuge, “to increased energy exploration and production,” and repealing parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, including what Scalise calls “harmful slush funds”.

On immigration, Scalise says his party will “build the Trump border wall, acquire new detection technologies, bolster our border patrol and stop the flow of illegal immigration”.
