In a stunning victory, former President Donald Trump has been projected to win the 2024 presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. The news sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with Republican lawmakers erupting in celebration, praising Trump’s return to the White House and heralding a new era of Republican control.
“America didn’t want what Kamala was selling,” Sen. Mike Lee of Utah tweeted, highlighting the sentiment among many Republicans. “I guess Ukraine’s electoral votes weren’t enough to help Kamala,” he joked in another post, alluding to the intense focus on the Ukraine conflict during the campaign.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida echoed the sentiment, tweeting, “Harris had celebrities. Trump had hardworking everyday Americans. The hardworking Americans won.”
The victory marks a remarkable comeback for Trump, who previously won the White House in 2016 before losing his re-election bid in 2020. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a staunch Trump supporter, declared, “Donald Trump has just been elected President for a THIRD time!” Greene went on to express her enthusiasm for Trump’s return, stating, “I am so excited!! America will no longer tolerate this communist regime, ripping our border wide open, turning our kids trans, and promoting abortion as reproductive rights. The American people are fed up with a weaponized government. President Trump is going back to the White House!”
Other Republican lawmakers shared their excitement and support for Trump’s victory. Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida simply exclaimed, “Yes! Yes! Yes! Let’s gooo!” while Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama warmly welcomed Trump back with a tweet, “Welcome back Mr. President!” Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona also chimed in, writing, “Welcome back, 47.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina expressed his awe for Trump and his team, saying, “I am in awe of him and his team. Tonight is not about the biggest come back in American history. It is about the biggest come back for peace and prosperity at home and abroad. We have a lot to do and a short time to do it. Well done, Mr. President. See you on the golf course!”
Adding to the Republican celebration, the Fox News Decision Desk also projected that Republicans won control of the Senate. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky expressed his optimism about the Republican Senate majority, stating, “FINALLY, with a Republican Senate majority we can focus on controlling spending, limiting gov, and putting America 1st! Looking forward to a dedication to fiscal responsibility. Cheers to the Senate leading the charge for a streamlined government focused on the Constitution!”
The 2024 election has undoubtedly reshaped the political landscape, with Trump’s victory signifying a major shift in the balance of power. As the dust settles, the nation awaits to see what Trump’s second term will bring and how the Republican controlled Senate will shape the future of the United States.
