Harris surrogates already throwing in the towel
In a post to social media, Harris surrogate Mark Cuban congratulated Trump on his apparent victory and said that the election was conducted"fair and square." According to NOTUS, another person in Harris's orbit expressed devastation. "I want to go home, get in my own bed and cry," they said.
The race isn't technically over, even though Harris's path to 270 electoral votes looks more and more narrow as the night (or morning) continues. With Pennsylvania now under his belt, Trump has clinched 266 electoral votes. We're still waiting for final calls in various states — including Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin — but Trump is currently ahead in all four states.
During a speech at Trump's campaign headquarters early on Wednesday morning, the former president acknowledged what increasingly looked like his impending win. "Frankly, I believe, this was the greatest political movement of all time," Trump said amid chants of U-S-A! U-S-A! "We're going to fix our borders. We're going to fix everything about our country."
