polling. harris won a slight majority of hispanic voters nationally. significantly underperforming joe biden's 33-point margin in 2020. mark in pennsylvania. republican. hi, mark. caller: how are you doing? i spoke to you yesterday before i went to go vote. and i'm so glad that trump carried pennsylvania. like i said to you the other day, both candidates came up to our area and they were campaigning very hard and i'm just glad that trump carried pennsylvania and did i like what harris had to say as far as making the transition of power, that she would be there to help the trump people do that. i think that was very professional of her organization and very professional of her to offer that to president trump. host: all right. mark, a republican in pennsylvania. as he said, mr. trump carried pennsylvania, the associated

press calling that at 2:24 a.m. on this wednesday. take a look at c-span.org/results and you can see where the votes came in for mr. trump. in pitts and the surrounding -- pittsburgh and the surrounding counties around pittsburgh, it was allred. around the blue dot of pittsburgh. look at the counties close to philadelphia. red as well. and then erie county, the bellwether county in pennsylvania, red. in 2024. here are some headlines for you this afternoon. after president trump was declared the victor by the associated press a t other networks. "u.s.a. today," a contest like no other has shaken the old order.

host: caroline, houston, texas. democratic caller. hi, caroline. caller: hi. thank you for taking my call. i didn't know -- i muted the call as soon as you told meo. i muted the tv. so i was glad that you allowed me to hear her while i was waiting. however, i'm not happy about this result. i don't think it was fair. but unlike her and her team and her staff, me, myself personally, i would have called it rigged just the way trump would have done had he won. had he not win. host: why do that when you heard from her? caller: i understand what you're saying. that's why she didn't do it because she's more professional than i am. i'm telling you that i would do that. because i think it was rigged as well. he has never won a popular vote since he's been running. he never won the popular vote. all of a sudden now he's got it

by five million more people? i don't believe it. host: why not? what about his message do you think would not have resonateed? caller: he didn't have a message. he lied the whole time. he called her all kinds of names, he disrespected her. and i don't think it was right for him to do that. i don't think it's right that another convicted felon can't get a job at a mcdonald's or some place like that and he can run for president. i don't understand why that is. host: what about those who said i voted for him because i was better off four years ago, or the border issue is why i voted for him? do you think democrats addressed those concerns? caller: i didn't vote for him because i wasn't better off four years ago. four years ago i saw people, dead people in refrigerated trucks because he didn't handle the pandemic well. he was given a playbook by president obama about the pandemic because obama had ideas about what to do in case it ever happened. he threw it away because he

couldn't stand to honor anything obama might have given him. so he didn't bother to use it. and we lost all those people. hundreds of thousands of people we lost because of his inaction. host: all right. caroline, when you listen to the vice president this afternoon, do you think that she will carry on in some way in politics? caller: yes, i really do. i hope so. maybe they'll be ready for a woman then. maybe they'll be ready for a person of color then. right now they're not. host: who is they? caller: who is they? the republicans. they're not ready. for it. obviously. host: all right. caroline from texas. democratic caller. jason in north carolina, independent. hi, jason. caller: how are you? thank you for taking my call. host: what are your thoughts on the election? caller: i'm happy with the election. and for people to say that it's all based because people ain't ready for a person of color and

everything else is absolutely ridiculous. i think. i think he won the popular vote because here this north carolina, we've got eggs that cost $6 a dozen. and everybody was a lot better off when trump was in office. and when biden took over, inflation hit and it don't matter about the pandemic because both of the presidents screwed up on that aspect. in my opinion. host: ok. vickie, florida, a republican caller. caller: yes, hi. how are you today? host: doing well. caller: i am very thrilled with the outcome of this election. it was blatantly obvious she had no platform to stand on whatsoever. all we ever heard about was joy and happiness. what are you going to do about the economy? what are you going to do about the border? what are you going to do about everything? and you had the last four years to do it. you're not brand new. you didn't just come out of the woodwork. she had four years to try and

make a difference. all you ever heard was, the first thing she's going to do when she gets in office, withle, i got news for you, you are in office. go down the street, wake up joe, and have him sign something to go close the border. it's blatantly obvious. host: would you have said that about vice president pence? will you say that about j.d. vance? that he has the power as vice president to change laws, write executive orders, push the agenda? caller: no. what i said was is that -- and work with the president to get it done. these are things -- that is her job. she is the vice president. she's not there just taking up space on the stage when he makes an announcement. she's there to work. we haven't seen her in four years. host: vickie in florida. republican caller. more from exit polling on

education. those with no college degree made up 57% of voters and of those voters, 42% voted for the vice president. 56% voted for president trump. those with college degrees, 43% of the electorate, 55% voting for vice president harris, 42% voting for the former president. if you break it down by race, take a look at those numbers. as we continue to take phone calls. memphis, tennessee, democratic caller. hi. caller: hi. how are you? host: doing well. caller: i agree with caroline. to me she was awesome. i loved her. and it hurts me to see we have so many people, this man should have been talked about like a

dog and you still go out and vote for this man? that hurts. that hurts me. and the other lady talking about eggs are high. eggs were high when he was in office. and i think she was better off than he was, to me. that's how i feel. and it hurts me to know that our people, not only our people, but women go out and have this man sit there and talk about them and you still vote for him? i don't have nothing else to say. that hurts. that hurts. host: when the vice president said today, don't throw in the towel to young people, she said, roll up your sleeves. caller: she was right. i told my son that. he didn't want to vote. he said, i don't want to vote for trump. i said, you have the female. listen to her. i didn't tell him what to do, he's 28. i said, you do how you feel. i can't push what you want to do. and i i think a lot of young

people where i work at were asking, i say, you have to listen to her. listen to her. just listen to her. host: what do you think was the hesitation from those young people to vote for her? caller: for one, a lot of -- i think they're young and some of them are first-time voting, they don't know what's what. they listen to trump. to me he was lying from day one. not only this time, he was lying last time. host: i know, but stick to those voters. caller: i don't know. i guess they was like, mm, i don't know -- my son asked me and i got to say, he's young and he's still in school and some other ones were in school. i said, you have to read. you have to read, you have to look and they were confused. a lot of them were confused. host: all right. josh, minnesota. independent. josh. caller: yes. host: you're in minnesota. caller: thanks for taking my

call. host: how did you vote? caller: well, i voted republican on this ticket, you know. for me it's policy. per policies were kind of -- her policies were kind of pole vaults and we have governor walz as a governor and he doesn't do a very good job in our own state. so that's kind of the direction me and some other voters kind of took. host: you said you voted republican this time. you voted for democrats in the past? caller: yes, we have. for us, me, it's all policy. we're looking at what's best for the country, best for my area. and for me donald trump is the ticket. host: how did you vote in 2020? caller: i voted for tprufrp in that case too based on policy. host: and in 2016? caller: trump. host: when is the last time you voted for a democrat? caller: the previous election prior to that. host: josh in minnesota. joe in kentucky.

republican. caller: what i think it really comes down to is the fact that she was never voted in to the democratic nominee and i think that resonated with a lot of voters in the wrong way. it's almost like she was appointed up there and with everything that went on with the hurricanes and stuff like that, it kind of left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. so as far as the outcome of the election, i'm not really surprised by it at all. host: what did you think of her remarks this afternoon? caller: i mean, i thought she took the loss like a champ. i think she did come out and say everything that she needed to say. but as far as her going back and running again, i think she needs to take notes where she kind of fell short and pour more into the actual people and policies and things like that that would help the american people. because i felt like with a lot of interviews she did, there were a lot of dodging and not

answers and things like that. losing the amount of black voters that she did really hurt. she only can look at herself and blame herself. host: all right. that was joe there in kentucky. a spokesperson for the british prime minister with this statement. the prime minister spoke to president-elect donald trump this evening -- host: he's the leader of the labor party there in the u.k. the president-elect heard from other world leaders as well. as he claimed victory yesterday. excuse me, early this morning, that is. after tuesday's election. mildred in new york. democratic caller.

hi. caller: hi. so, i vote democrat and i'm flabbergasted. i didn't expect her not to win. but i went into this thinking it's absolutely -- feeling just anxiety from 2016 was hitting. i have a 1-year-old and a 24-year-old son as well and allic think of my daughter is, what am i going to do for her? this is not how the life should be. and i wonder why nobody is talking about something along the lines of, elon musk and his lottery that he's been -- he was doing in swing states. like, that is completely -- like -- we knew trump was going to try something. but that's what's upsetting. we knew that this was not -- that he would not allow for a free and fair election. it's just -- i just -- i don't

know at this point. host: mildred, the vice president raised a billion dollars, she had money on her side as well. caller: but it wasn't that. she didn't go pay off the voters. or pay a lottery to get them to vote or say they would be loyal to a certain p.a.c. that's where elon musk loyal to. that is warily musk came in. the news is talking about how he only did it for the people in the swing states. that makes you wonder. host: david in frankfort, illinois. independent. caller: thanks for taking my call. host: your reaction to campaign 2024 results. caller: not surprised either way. both candidates are people. both candidates should not be in. it should have been jill stein and the green party. for those who think that is a throwaway
