When the Associated Press on Thursday declared Republican Dave McCormick the winner of a hard-fought Senate race over entrenched Democrat Sen. Bob Casey, it wasn’t just the latest crest in a Red Wave 2024 election year. It was eye-opening proof that a focused ground game fixated on turning out early and absentee voters when voting runs several weeks long is a blueprint for GOP electoral success. 

That fact should have been clear to Republicans long ago. But many in the party and too many campaigns didn’t get it, and conservatives have paid a high political price for failing to learn. So have Americans in general, as evidenced by the past four long years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House. 

Some Republicans saw the writing on the wall long ago, however. They’ve been watching and taking notes on what Democrats have done in recent election cycles — beyond the 2020 shenanigans under the cover of Covid. Dems get the importance of a long-term commitment to the ground game, of constant connections, particularly with people who irregularly vote at best. They have mastered the art of ballot chasing, as they’ve pushed for expanded mail-in voting.

After the crushing “Red Wave” that wasn’t in the 2022 midterms, some Republicans finally woke up and decided they were going to try to beat Democrats at their own game. They learned that where the rubber meets the road in elections is on the ground. 

‘Return on Investment’ 

Perhaps no conservative organization worked the ground game

President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004.

According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The projection was made early Saturday morning, days after Trump officially secured the minimum 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

In a statement provided to The Federalist, Chuck Muth, president of the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation, attributed Trump’s victory in the Silver State to men who “saw a clear and present danger in putting Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.”

“They did what traditional men do when confronted with a serious threat — they showed up and voted for Trump,” Muth said. “Traditional men, with ample support from strong, intelligent women, saved America.”

The Associated Press projected that incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated Republican Sam Brown in the Silver State’s Senate race. As of this article’s publication, Rosen leads Brown by 1.4 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated.

While often used to shape public opinion rather than gauge it, polling showed Rosen with a comfortable lead heading into Election Day. According to the RealClearPolitics average, the incumbent Democrat was estimated to defeat her GOP opponent by 4.9 points.

In addition to Trump’s victory, Republicans experienced success in state legislature races.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, the

President-elect Donald Trump’s White House win this week was his first electoral victory in the TikTok era. Liberal tears might have flowed across the internet eight years ago, but that was nothing compared to the flooding that overtook the left’s favorite video platform after Trump triumphed for a second time.

The online teardrops started tumbling even before the former president reclaimed the title earlier this week.

“I hate you, you f-ck-ng orange pumpkin,” said one sobbing woman. “You just cost me one of the most important people in my life, my dad.”

Because only a totally normal and healthy person would post a sob story about disavowing family members over political differences on the internet.

Of course, plenty more tears from random leftists infected with Trump derangement syndrome followed once these individuals’ declared antichrist sailed to re-election. Here are some of the worst clips (or best, depending on the viewer’s perspective) circulating the internet:

Leftists constantly publishing videos of themselves crying on camera isn’t just incredibility cringe, the behavior is conclusive evidence of extreme narcissism, and it happens all the time — even when there’s no election to cry about.

Whether they’re complaining about being “misgendered” or working too hard, TikTok has way too many young people sobbing about their lives openly online as if the world were ending. The tragic reality is that these people are obviously lacking when it comes to forming genuine relationships with others beyond social media followers. The
