@Sadie_NC Dolly wrote a great song, Whitney sang it the best. We know this to be a self evident truth, because Christina and Arianna sang versions that attempted to emulate Whitney. It is what it is. Whitney was the template! Debate over.

@mtgreenee Stay. Go. Your choice. But I am curious how one comes to the conclusion that the best way to oppose what you believe is corruption, is to remove its opposition?? 🤔🤨 Well, enjoy the cushy taxpayer funded retirement.

@jimrome Had @FranBrownCuse on the show and this dude rushed him off the air. 🤦🏾‍♂️ one of the only coaches to give actual takes that didn’t amount to a bunch of “coach speak” and jimothy cuts it short. Not cool my dude. Still love ya, but not cool

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

@savage_esquire Oh definitely. Completely understandable as a parent. Plus he has nothing to lose politically at this point by going back on his word. I don’t think any other person in his position would have done differently.

So what do you think? Was this election as close as people predicted or did it feel like a landslide victory for Donald Trump?

We’ll break down some key points this week and next, to better understand what led to Trump’s victory and Harris’ defeat.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Multiple news outlets now reporting that Donald Trump will reclaim the position as President of the United States. Kamala Harris is scheduled to provide a concession speech later today at Howard University in Washington D.C.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

As of 6:30am EST, Trump projected the winner with 286 Electoral Votes. If vote counting concludes in all states today, and there are no changes to outcomes, Harris could offer a concession speech today or tomorrow. We’ll breakdown the election on Thursday!!

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Trump delivered an acceptance speech last night as several news outlets projected him as the winner. Harris opted not to offer a concession speech awaiting the final count of overnight ballots.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

AP projecting that Trump wins the battleground state of North Carolina. Closing in on 230 Electoral Votes. Harris at 153. Both sides will be watching late night results and votes counted overnight.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Polls closed on the west coast. Harris currently at 145 projected electoral votes. Trump at 211 projected electoral votes. GA and PA still very close to call for either candidate.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Harris currently leading in PA 68.4% to Trump at 30.7% about 13% of the precincts reporting. Very early. #270toWin
Nothing unexpected happening as of yet on the big map for either candidate.

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Very early in the count, but projecting 90 electoral votes for Trump to this point, 27 for Harris.

@jimrome #KikeHernandez tell me you’re a freakin boss without saying I’m a boss… “We Don’t Give a F%!&”

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Ok Debate done. Who are you scoring the win for?

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Trump: “here’s a little secret, Joe Biden hates Kamala, he can’t stand her.” Trump spilling all the tea. 😂

[Professor J. Powell @PolySciProf]

Harris: “former president incited a violent mob”
Trump: “ I didn’t do anything. I just gave a speech”
