U.S. stock markets and the dollar experienced big gains following Donald J. Trump’s re-election as President. His historic victory sent major U.S. stock indexes, particularly bank stocks, to new heights, while the dollar surged by approximately 1.65 percent against several currencies, including the pound, euro, and yen.
Bitcoin climbed by over $6,600, setting a record at $75,999.04. This was driven by Trump’s emphasis on the cryptocurrency. Pledging a strategic Bitcoin reserve on the campaign trail, he said, “If we don’t do it, China and others are going to be doing it,” adding: “This is the steel industry of 100 years ago.”
As part of his economic agenda, Trump proposed replacing SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has pushed for stricter regulation in the crypto sector. Additionally, Trump plans to appoint Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk—a prominent figure among cryptocurrency advocates—to oversee an audit of governmental expenditures. Tesla’s shares reacted positively, rising over 14 percent.
In international markets, the pound fell 1.16 percent against the dollar, while the FTSE 100, after early gains, ended the day slightly down. European markets also reacted negatively; the German Dax and French CAC 40 both reported losses at close. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index rose 2.6 percent, while the Shanghai Composite dipped slightly, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell by about 2.23 percent.

Multiple sources report that special counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials about ending his cases against President-elect Donald J. Trump. This follows the Department’s longstanding policy of prohibiting prosecuting a sitting president.
Smith’s team is evaluating how to halt proceedings in both the federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C., and the ongoing appeal concerning the classified documents case, which was dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon.
In June 2023, Trump faced charges of unlawfully keeping classified documents post-presidency and obstructing their retrieval, to which he pleaded not guilty in Florida’s federal court. By August 2023, additional charges were filed against him for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election. Again, Trump pleaded not guilty.
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling granting partial immunity to presidents has significantly impacted these cases. As a result, the January 6 case has been returned to a lower court, while Judge Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, reasoning that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional. His appointment did not receive presidential or congressional approval.
Trump has publicly stated his intention to swiftly dismiss Smith once inaugurated.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has dramatically improved his margins of support across all demographic groups in the American electorate, propelling him to a historic 2024 electionvictory. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris—his Democratic Party rival—failed to improve amongst a single voter demographic from Joe Biden’s margins in 2020.
Among non-college-educated white men, Trump saw a significant shift—despite already being heavily favored among the demographic—besting Harris by a margin of nearly 40 points. Likewise, the America First leader also improved among non-college-educated white women, defeating Harris by an almost 30-point margin.
Despite pollingdata suggesting Trump was losing ground with women overall, the president-elect actually gained ground—albeit only slightly. The most dramatic increases came among Hispanic and Asian voters. Hispanics swung a stunning 25 points towards Trump compared to his 2020 election margin. The Asian swing was similar.
The diverse coalition of voters that backed Trump in the 2024 election appears to have been largely drawn by his America First populist message. Interestingly, President-elect Trump captured 45 percent of the Jewish vote in New York, leading to him capturing a surprising 30 percent of the vote in New York City.
While the political establishment has been pessimistic about Republican efforts to increase their share of the black vote for decades, Trump again was able to improve his margins among the demographic. In fact, 21 percent of black voters in Wisconsin cast a ballot for Trump, likely being pivotal in his victory in the state.

Vice President Kamala Harris has conceded the 2024 presidential election to President-elect Donald J. Trump. According to a senior Democrat aide, Harris called Trump and congratulated him on his historic win. The Vice President reportedly discussed the importance of the peaceful transfer of power with the president-elect, which could indicate Congressional Democrats are backing down from threats that they will not certify the election results.
Trump won a landslide election victory on November 5 and will likely sweep all of the key swing states. Having served as president from 2017 to 2021, Trump’s win will make him only the second American to ever serve two non-consecutive terms in the White House.
Despite election night returns suggesting Trump’s victory was all but inevitable, Harris did not speak to her gathered supporters and did not acknowledge she was almost certain to lose the race.

The Democrats are in the beginning stages of a civil war over President-elect Donald J. Trump’s crushing defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris. A senior Harri-Walz campaign official is trying to pin the blame on President Joe Biden, saying he “will hold a lot of blame for” the defeat and adding, “And frankly, he should.”
Biden was largely sidelined by the Harris-Walz campaign after being forced out of the race by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and other Democrat powerbrokers. However, a late intervention that saw Biden label Trump’s tens of millions of voters “garbage”—exacerbated by a failed attempt by his staff to doctor the official transcript recording the smear—went viral in the final days of the campaign. Trump quickly capitalized, arranging a garbage truck campaign stop and attending a high-profile rally dressed as a garbage man.
Some in the Democratic Party are complaining Biden, 81, stayed in the presidential race too long and hid his diminished cognitive condition from the party. “Why did Joe Biden hold on for as long as he did?” demanded one donor, adding: “He should have not concealed his [health issues] and dropped out a lot sooner.”

World leaders are starting to pay homage to Donald J. Trump as U.S. President-elect following his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. As of the time of publication, the Democratic nominee has not officially conceded—but President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom, and others have already recognized the inevitable.
UKRAINE.
Zelensky, likely fearing the unconditional, open-ended support of military and state apparatus by U.S. taxpayers may end under a Trump-Vance administration, was particularly effusive, saying, “Congratulations to [Donald Trump] on his impressive election victory!”
“I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September… I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs,” he continued, adding, “We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership” and pleading that Ukraine “rel[ies] on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States.”
ISRAEL.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, embroiled in a multi-sided war with Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Iran, penned a note to Trump “in true friendship,” congratulating him on “history’s greatest comeback!”
“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America,” he continued, adding: “This is a huge victory!”
BRITAIN.
Britain’s relatively new Labour government has also moved quickly to congratulate Trump, having previously earned his ire by sending staffers to campaign for Vice President Harris.
“Congratulations, President-elect Trump, on your historic election victory,” said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, claiming he “look[s] forward to working with you in the years ahead” with Britain and America continuing to be “the closest of allies.”
Starmer’s Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, also penned a groveling note of congratulations, saying, “The UK has no greater friend than the U.S., with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. We look forward to working with you and JD Vance in the years ahead.”
While Trump was in his first term and Labour was in opposition, Lammy regularly railed against Trump, opposing constructive diplomatic relations with his government and alleging he was “a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.”
Many speculate his Cabinet position will no longer be tenable once Trump is inaugurated, given this history and the importance of maintaining strong British-American relations.
Re: Daily Mail story today. Yes, if Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.
France’s President Emmanuel Macron, crippled by snap legislative elections in which both the populist right and far left earned more votes than his faction, says he is “Ready to work together as we did for four years…With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose Social Democratic Party increasingly faces electoral oblivion, offered muted congratulations to Trump and said that “Germany and the U.S. have been working together successfully promoting prosperity and freedom on both sides of the Atlantic” and “will continue to do so for the wellbeing of our citizens.”
However, the America First leader was greeted with great enthusiasm in Central Europe, where Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Slovak ally Prime Minister Robert Fico both hailed his reelection.
“The biggest comeback in US political history!” Orban cheered. “Congratulations to President [Donald Trump] on his enormous win. A much needed victory for the World!”
Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, who hosted Trump for a state visit during his first term, was also enthusiastic, saying, “Congratulations, Mr. President [Donald Trump]! You made it happen!”

Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in the first administration of President Donald J. Trump, is calling on his successor Merrick Garland—as well as Democrat District Attorneys Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis—to dismiss all criminal charges against the Republican president-elect. Barr contends that the verdict issued by the American people, based on Trump’s landslide electoral victory, should supersede their lawfare prosecutions.
“The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years. They chose him to lead us with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country,” Barr said Wednesday in a statement. He continued: “I think Attorney General Merrick Garland and the State prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now.”
Trump’s former Attorney General argues that the indictments against the president-elect are largely based on “novel legal theories” that “have already been gravely weakened by a series of court decisions.” Barr states that both the federal and state prosecutions against Trump have been “aired and rejected in the court of public opinion.” He adds that once Trump takes the Oath of Office, the U.S. Consitution renders the cases moot.
While at least three of the cases against Trump could be dropped now that he has won the 2024 presidential election, the former and future Republican president was found guilty of 34 counts of business record fraud in New York City. Trump is set to be sentenced by Judge Juan Merchan on November 26, though the judge may rule that presidential immunity effectively ends the legal action against him.

The National Pulse is ready to project that President Donald J. Trump has retaken the White House as the 47th President of the United States. The America First leader will be only the second person in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms as the Commander-in-Chief. Trump, propelled by a surge in support among minorities and working-class voters, bested his Democrat opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, in what was projected to be a close contest.
The campaign was one of the most intense in American history, with the Biden-Harris government pushing four partisan prosecutions against Trump and his allies in an effort to bankrupt the Republican presidential nominee. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden—the incumbent Democrat—exited the race after a catastrophic debate in June. In addition, Trump faced two attempts on his life, with an assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, striking him in the ear and killing a rallygoer. However, despite the best efforts of the Democrats, the corporate media, and their Deep State allies, Election Night marked a tremendous victory for Trump and the MAGA movement.

Federal law enforcement has arrested a 25-year-old Michigan man for allegedly threatening to carry out a terrorist attack against Christians should President Donald J. Trump reclaim the White House. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Isaac Sissel is being charged with sending threatening communications.
“I shall carry out an attack against conservative Christian, [sic] filth in the event trump [sic] wins the election. I have a stolen [AR-15] and a target I refuse to name so I can continue to get away with my plans,” Sissel allegedly wrote, according to an anonymous online threatening submission filed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia on November 2.
Sissel continued: “Without a specific victim or ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack.”
President Trump’s supporters have been targeted by political violence in recent days, with a shopper wearing a ‘Trump 2024’ hat having his teeth broken by a stranger in Bath, New York, for instance.
Trump himself has been subjected to two assassination attempts. The first, in Butler, Pennsylvania, saw the America First leader and three supporters shot during a rally, one fatally.
Will Upton contributed to this report.

Former President Donald J. Trump will secure victory in the North Carolina presidential race, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ, earning 16 electoral votes. Despite its Republican history, recent tight races and the election of Democratic Governor Roy Cooper have classified the state as a battleground.
Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris focused their campaign efforts on North Carolina in the final days leading up to the election. Trump held a rally in Raleigh on Monday, while Harris also made appearances over the weekend. Their campaign efforts were not limited to North Carolina; both candidates concentrated heavily on Pennsylvania, deemed crucial for their electoral success.
Trump may have swayed voters by highlighting failures in the Biden-Harris government’s response to recent hurricanes. He specifically targeted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), reminding voters of the misgovernment they have endured since he left office in 2017.
