Donald Trump has knocked down the “blue wall” Tuesday and turned Wisconsin red again. 

The former president won the battleground Badger State’s 10 electoral votes, with Fox News and Decision Desk HQ projecting Trump the winner of the contentious presidential election. 

Victory in Wisconsin arrived just as the calendar turned on Election Day and Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign carriage turned back into a pumpkin. With 92 percent of the vote in, Trump led Harris by nearly 3 percentage points, or nearly 153,000 votes, in the state. The lead was too much to overcome for the Democrat, even with the usual early-morning ballot dump in leftist-led Milwaukee still looming. 

Trump’s victory in swing state Wisconsin followed on the heels of his win in another critical so-called “blue wall” state, Pennsylvania, with its coveted 19 electoral votes. He had already bagged swing states Georgia and North Carolina on his way to hitting the 270-electoral-vote threshold. Final vote tallies are awaited in western swing states Arizona and Nevada, but both were leaning red early Wednesday morning. 

‘Wisconsin Was the Cornerstone’

The former president spoke to supporters just after 2 a.m. Wisconsin time, calling his victory and that of his fellow Republicans in Congress an “unprecedented mandate.” Republicans won back the Senate, and they appeared to have held control of the House. 

“And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal,” Trump said. “We have a country that needs help and it needs

Sure, “renowned Iowa pollster” J. Ann Selzer has been wrong before. But this kind of wrong in the polling business can leave a mark. 

Selzer grabbed a lot of headlines a few days before the election (and not just from her home newspaper and Democrat Party shill, the Des Moines Register) with the shocking poll she did tracking the political sentiments of Hawkeye State voters. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll conducted by Selzer showed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ replacement presidential candidate, leading former President Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, by 3 percentage points (47 percent to 44 percent) in deep red Iowa. 

It seemed insane, because it was. 

Not Seeing Red 

Iowa was called for Trump by The Associated Press less than two hours after the state’s polls closed. With an estimated 95 percent of the vote counted as of publication, Trump is clobbering by 14 percentage points (56.3 percent to 42.3 percent), according to the Washington Post.

Trump won Iowa by nearly 10 percentage points in 2016, and by about 8 points in 2020, according to The New York Times. 

While the “red wave” predicted ahead of the 2022 midterms did not hit nationwide, it did hit Iowa. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds easily won reelection, and Republicans seized control of all of the Hawkeye state’s House seats.

For the better part of a very long year, the first-in-the-nation caucus state showed Republicans from the start were firmly behind Trump. The former president outdistanced his nearest

Former President Donald Trump declared victory early Wednesday morning, after Wisconsin and Pennsylvania put him over the top in the race for the White House.

“Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,” Trump said, referring to the summer attempt on his life that left him bloodied and left one supporter dead and two others injured.

Fox News projected Trump to win at least Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, as well as Georgia and North Carolina, which gave him more than the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. He is the first to win the presidency in two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in 1892, setting him up to be the 45th and 47th president of the United States.

“This will truly be the golden age of America. That’s what we have, this is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump said in his speech. “We’re gonna make you very proud of your vote.”

Trump was flanked by his family at his campaign victory party in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was joined by vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who also made remarks.

“We just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America,” Vance said. “And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history.”

Trump also remarked on down-ballot races, which appear to give him a
