>> i want to thank the american people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. this campaign has been so historic in so many ways. this is a mag nificent victory for the american people that will allow us to make america great began. [cheering] >> usa, usa, usa. >> thank you. >> many people have told me that god spared my life for a reason. that reason was to save our country and to restore america to greatness. it is time to put the division of the past four years behind us, time to reunite. i will not let you down. be richer, safer and stronger

than ever before. god bless you and god bless america, thank you very much. [cheering] >> carley: former president donald trump projected to be the 47th president of the united states of america. it would be first time since grover cleveland and second time ever a president won two nonconsecutive times. >> steve: one of the greatest political comebacks in history, securing 277 electoral votes and defending north carolina. >> lawrence: unprecedented election cycle filled with twists and turns and two assassinat assassination attempts. >> ainsley: and two impeachments, legal battles and

days days spent in the courtroom. trump is projected to be 47th president of the united states. he addressed supporters early this morning. >> i will be fighting for you and with every breath in my body, i will not rest until we've delivered strong, safe and prosperous america that our children deserve and that you deserve. this will truly be the golden age of america. i want to thank my beautiful wife melania, first lady. [cheering] >> who has the number one best-selling book in the country, can you believe that? [cheering]

>> she's done a great job, works very hard to help people. now i can say vice president elect of the united states j.d. vance. he's turned out to be a good choice. i took a little heat at the beginning, i knew the brain was a good one. >> mr. president, i appreciate you allowing me to join you on this incredible journey, thank you for the trust and we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the united states of america. >> this will be remembered as the day american people regained control of their country. >> other major stories this morning, republicans sets to regain control of the senate

ending four-year stretch as flipping ohio seat red. we have live team coverage. madeleine rivera will give us an update on the senate races. kevin corke has key issues and lucas tomlinson is live at the white house. lucas. >> lucas: j.d. vance said it this has to be considered greatest political comeback in u.s. history. it started with pennsylvania, no doubt were going to win the race. the race was called at 1:19 a.m. the state is second largest producer of fracking and let's move to georgia.

called 12 t:48 a.m. vital to this reelection win. in wisconsin, it put trump over the edge, winning by three points. trump taking blue walls of wisconsin and pennsylvania and down in north carolina, that was first swing state trump won setting tone for the evening. arizona moving out west has not been called yet. in nevada, another state not called yet, he is up by roughly four points. for michigan. gaza and lebanon played a role here. trump up by few points there. show you president trump's path. he's 277 right now. we did not see red wave during the midterm, we see it now.

working clas americans and minorities helped president trump win two nonconsecutive terms, first since grover cleveland. >> steve: joe biden upstairs watching on the big screen, joe biden telling everybody, i told everybody i was only one who could beat donald trump. >> brian: i couldn't care less for joe biden. he paved the way by being a terrible president. this is total rejection in every way and areas and demographics adop did not win, he gained massively. chicago, joe biden 80 plus percent of the vote, kamala harris 60 percent, she did not

o outperform for people saying what about the msg rally and the comedian? you don't understand the story. >> lawrence: 56% of hispanic support for harris, 41% for donald trump, that is historic when you look at the numbers. >> brian: democrats live off the minority vote and did nothing for them. >> ainsley: this went up, four years ago 35% and this year 41%. when it comes to and lawrence told us this was happening. >> lawrence: everyone ignored this trend, we were screaming there is new day and he almost doubled his support, 2024 15%. almost doubling it.

>> steve: democrats lead with younger voters and last night political left were talking about long lines at colleges. there were long lines and kamala harris did wine up with majority of people under 30. donald trump was just six points behind. this goes to a whole suite of numbers about what really had people go and push the button for donald trump. that is this. in fox voter analysis, those falling behind financially went for trump by 63%, third of country for donald trump and other number that is reason he will be the numbers president of the us, 70% of americans said they want something new. >> ainsley: is this the end of

le legacy media, you watching other networks and them telling you how to vote? they saw through this. this man, all of the court cases and investigations, two peachy keenan impeachments, opposition from members of his own party including his former vice president. he said everyone told me god had a purpose for my life, he spared me during these assassination attempts. >> brian: a couple things, we walked in today, declared 2:35, i watched the president's speech on the car ride in, i was shocked to see nobody else declaring trump won. what else do you need to see? almost impossible to catch up. as i walk in today, cnn has announcement, new jersey will go to harris.

really? that is your announcement? go ahead. >> lawrence: they know, that he's going to win this. >> brian: and the popular vote. >> lawrence: they are blaming voters saying it didn't work and talking about his indictment. immigration, as well. no response on campaign trail to any issues from democrats. >> steve: a lot are waiting for associated press. let me finish this one thing, it goes with what i'm talking about. big newspapers, "new york times," washington posts and "wall street journal" are talking about comeback and he's on the virge until they officially declare. >> brian: couple of things, if you want to know how sober the country is and how detached

american politicians are. in california, crackdown on crime bill, prop 34, i am not going to tell you what my vote is. people don't feel comfortable going out of their house, stealing their car, called on california to crack down on crime. thats so much about the country. >> ainsley: prop kamala harris would 23409 admit how she votes. >> brian: it is no big deal, she does not want to tell everybody she is tough on crime. voters have demanded the candidate tell them what they are going to do as opposed to, i'm going to be happy. >> steve: there were bunch of proposition and amendments on ballot, including pot and abortion down in florida, we'll talk about other ballot

initiatives in a bit. second leading big story is republican party set to flip senate as candidates ride trump's coattail. turn to madeleine rivera in washington with the latest. predictions were this would happen, it could be bigger than people thought. >> madeleine: that is the question. republicans highly favored to take back the senate, that is not surprise. the question is how big majorities will be. some are too close to call at this point. west virginia and ohio, republicans flipped two seats, this gain was all they needed to retake upper chamber. jim justice flipped joe manchin's seat and bernie moreno beat sherrod brown, who was seeking a fourth term.

>> talked about wanting a red wave, i think what we have tonight is a red issue white and blue wave. what we need in the united states of america is leaders in washington, d.c. that actual ly put interest of american citizens above all else. we're tired of being treated like secretary-class citizens in our own country. >> josh hau josh hawley won their races and former republican hogan lost to brooks. republican incumbent senator ted cruz and rick scott defeated allred and powell, respectively. >> here is what texas promises. not a quality of outcomes, but a

quality of opportunity, not guaranteed success, guaranteed chance. not life without struggle but a life where struggle has meaning, that is the promise of texas and the american dream. >> this is a team win. we won, they lost. god bless you, god bless this great country and what do we say? let's get to work. [cheering] >> madeleine: now race between kuhn, cornyshg n and rick scott scheduled for next wednesday. >> steve: that is the senate, what about house? too close to call, right? >> madeleine: it is sitting on nice edge. it could take days, potentially weeks. >> brian: speaker johnson is optimistic. we are looking at brownsvilling,

rogers, sheehy all up, i don't want to toss out electorate college or get rid of filibuster and add two states. so many democrats said this is time to do it. you don't see chuck schumer anywhere. if republicans have 55% ma majority? republicans will not get rid of it. ask chuck schumer if he wants to now. >> lawrence: brian laid out the races in senate and republicans are ahead. people were told to distance themselves from donald trump. polling was wrong about the races and the trump win propelled them in senate races, as well. we see why democrats in fourth

quarter decided to run ads saying they were supportive of the former president. >> ainsley: like bob casey, moved by a post i saw on social media. a group walking out at trump's victory party in a group and started singing "how great thou art" and so many, they showed up and were praying, everyone i spoke with, they were on their knees scared about direction of this country. >> steve: when you think about it, ainsley, they were thankful, polls showed it was a tie. we'll talk to tom bevin from real clear politics next segment and bernie moreno from ohio will be with us. it wasn't even close.

we talked over last couple days about polling errors, when they get a polling error wrong. we suggested if they get one swing state wrong, they will get them all wrong and looks like they got them all wrong. >> lawrence: stop demonizing half the country and maybe when you call them, they'll give you their true opinion about candidates. people will not openly say who they are voting for. >> brian: a man was kicked out of a gym for wearing a trump t-shirt. it is not polls were wrong, i think they colluded to all together not be wrong or right. they knew if they projected harris win, they are done. they agreed to stand in the middle. it stopped being useful for

anyone after a while. i love for attitude to be republicans won, but democrats did not lose. nobody lost. this all or nothing attitude gets hate going until the next cycle. say, popular vote went one way, house going one way, american people feel a different way. >> lawrence: work together. >> brian: one guy has four years and he's done, if he's going to be historic, this is time to do it. >> ainsley: someone who will stand strong and support america. >> steve: it is voice of the people and we have great way to test that. >> ainsley: todd piro is at family chill and grill in pennsylvania, hi-issue , todd. >> todd: good morning, main-stream media told us this

was a vibe election. why don't we tell the main-stream media what the vibe is in here right now. [cheering] >> todd: there we go. this place has been packed since 4:00 a.m., how are you feeling this morning? >> terrific, best day for america that there ever was. president trump deserves to be in office and he will make america great again. >> here we go. come over here. what do you make of how big the victory appears to be? >> i knew it was not going to be close, i knew he was going to win from the begin. shoult out to north carolina and pennsylvania. >> you gave a shout out to north carolina. my colleague carley shimkus is in north carolina. huge diner is being paed today, we'll check in with them

throughout course of next four hours. let's go, pennsylvania. back to you guys. >> ainsley: glad you mentioned that, carley is at joey's pancake house in north carolina in asheville area. hi, carley. >> carley: hi, good morning, guys. that's right. welcome to joey's pancake house in maggie valley, north carolina. [cheering] >> carley: the swing state of north carolina has decided and as you can see, people have turned out in droves to talk about this election. i want to talk to some diners and see how people are feeling. this is my friend terry. how are you feeling about donald trump's second victory? >> i love it, i love it, i love it. whoo! >> everyone knows becky, she has thoughts about the election, what are you thinking? >> im00 tickled to death, we

could not have four more years, there is no way. gas prices, groceries, it has been terrible. now trump's going to make it great again. whoo! >> carley: becky thinks donald trump will make it great again. that is what people are saying in maggie valley, back to you in new york city. >> steve: what a crowd. >> ainsley: ask them if ghost town still exists? >> steve: not a ghost town there. everybody showed up. >> ainsley: they were hit hard, been praying for that area. key races across the country. >> steve: kevin corke will look at top issues decided by voters, there were a bunch of them. >> what an overnight it has been and a festive morning for backers of former and future

president trump. getting to 270 was the question, now will he top 300 in the electorate college and he might be able to do that. 277 is the number for the former president and 35 leake r electorate votes are on the table. former president is at this very hour leading in each and every one of them, should have more results to share later in the day, maybe not in michigan. there are a number of takeaways, i want to share. number one in georgia, harris down by eight poens from biden's level in 2020. the economy is still number one issue for voters across the country and the president was

seen as one who had best chance to make it better for everybody. in pennsylvania, biden won with suburban voters in 2020 and harris leading in that group by just six. this is interesting to me, when asked about reducing number of immigrants allowed to seek asylum in the u.s. twice as many favoring number of immigrant being reduced. that should tell you something. it is interesting, watching the issues come about, it is f fascinating because the issues in terms of voter initiative, what is happening in new york or michigan, one thing stands for certain, americans spoke loudly with a unified voice. >> steve: they did. down in florida, they had legal pot on the ballot, defeated, and reproductive rights issue,

amendment four went to defeat. >> brian: victory for governor detenti ron desantis. >> lawrence: incredible all the commentary after the mgm rally. the vote was going the other direction and we see something else happen. >> ainsley: here in new york prop one as we mentioned, did pass. that was one we had a guest on that said vote no because they labeled it equal rights amendment. when you hear equal rights amendment, i am voting for that, but it allows minors right to have medical -- without consent

of parents. >> brian: and jail time for crimes involving fentanyl, law lawlessness we've seen everywhere, longer jail assists and mandatory rehab for drug users. >> lawrence: rejencted george gascon. >> brian: substantially. nathan hokman is in. kennedy backed him up because he is such an embarrassment of the country. george gascon lost huge, half the vote. >> steve: numbers still coming in, big number, donald trump, proje projecting to be next president of the us. wmur talk to tom bevin coming up next on "fox and friends." where our founder discovered a retired teacher living. no home. no health care. so she said no to this injustice

president and co-founder of real clear politics.com, tom bevin, joins us now. thank you for getting up with us. the polls were suggested it was just a coin toss essentially. it wasn't really. it is almost landslidish, looks like he will take if not all, most swing states. >> yeah, look, that is something people discuss, narrow or sneaky landslide. in 2016, donald trump won six of the seven battleground states. in 2020 joe biden won six of the seven. these are all within margin of error. trump had a lead in arizona, north carolina and georgia but

up upper midwest states were within a point. we had said over and over again, if polls underestimate trump by half a point or point he would sweep the states and that happened. >> steve: you are right. there was a shy trump voter that made sure they voted by yesterday. balance of power, republicans hold the house and looks like republicans will take over senate and it is a slim marg in but it could get bigger. >> yeah, there are i think six senate races out still and republicans lead in five of them and they netted two seats. it be would be nelt gain of seven.

you have sam brown in nevada tied and rogers basically tied. certainly tim shehy will win in montana. and hovanishesde and mccormick lead. republicans may end up with net gain of five senate seats or so. people foresaw that was a possibility. things could not have gone any better f republicans. >> steve: and worse for democrats running kamala harris campaign, they keep her away from press, don't tell us what you stand for, those were a problem for her, tom. >> yeah, it certainly looks that way. we talked about abortion and threats to democracy and polls were clear economy and inflation

was the number one issue and trump led over harris. people look fond buy back on trump's reign, are you better af off than you were four years ago, they were not better off. >> steve: we were talking about the presidency and house and senate we have governor races for you. in north carolina, josh steib defeats robinson, state attorney general will take over for roy cooper who was term limited. kelly ayote, winning against craig, a former senator. and republican patrick morrisey b beating out the two-term jim
