high voter turnout in philadelphia hours before the polls closed. that never happened. trump had his best showing ever in philadelphia wiping 20% of the votes gaining 20,000 more votes. harris did not get the huge turnout she needed. bucks county flipped red for the first time since 1988. as for the senate race fox hasn't called it yet but dave mccormick is leading democrat senator bob casey by one point. trump improved with latino voters winning 39% of the hispanic vote. four points higher than 2020 despite the fact, bill, that democrats here on the last days really believed that that puerto rican insult joke at the rally would move latinos. it turned out many latinos could not afford to be offended. inflation winning the day. >> bill: good work. nice to see you in philly today. see you in new york soon.

bryan llenas in pennsylvania. >> dana: couldn't afford to be offended. i love that. here we are. the voters have spoken. this morning donald trump is on his way back to the white house after winning both the electoral votes and the popular vote. republicans taking control of the senate while control of the house is not yet decided. we could get that soon we hope. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. we've been wondering when we hear from kamala harris. not sure what is happening within her team. i can tell you i remember eight years ago when hillary clinton conceded it was in this 10:00 hour when she came out with her husband, bill and daughter, chelsea. >> dana: she came out and spoke. >> she conceded around 2:in the morning and trump came out. we're still waiting. we'll see. don't have much information. president-elect trump promising to heal the country, unite the

nation. vp harris out of sight canceling an appearance of her watch party last night. folks around the country explaining why now they voted the 47th president. >> when trump was in office i was able to take care of my own business and take care of my kids. we went from middle class to straight broke. >> illegals are flooding the country how ridiculous. if you want to come over, do it legally. >> with donald trump becoming president and having control of the senate and possibly the house, i think our dow will soar. >> i feel the opportunities and hopes and dreams for your children and grandchildren will be possible. >> looking forward to the next four years. >> dana: trump claiming victory are strong voter support on the economy and immigration and many other things as well. >> bill: stunning wins in battleground states of north

carolina, wisconsin, georgia, pennsylvania helped push him beyond the 270 needed to come out on top. >> dana: let's get to mike tobin starting us off in the charming city of milwaukee. hi, mike. >> dana, when wisconsin was called it was what put trump over the threshold of 270 electoral votes. there was a hang-up with the voting in the city of milwaukee. 13 voting machines hadn't been properly locked. 31,000 absentee ballots were retabulated and pushed the submission of the absentee votes late into the night in deep blue milwaukee where most of those votes would be democrat. they got added into the mix late at night. it becomes relevant to the campaign of senate candidate hovde, the republican challenger to the incumbent democrat tammy baldwin. he went into the early morning hours in the lead. he is now behind less than a percentage point. baldwin campaign declared

victory, ap has not called that senate race yet. >> dana: thank you so much. thank you, mike. >> bill: north carolina meanwhile breaking decisively for president elect trump with record high turnout despite damage from hurricane helene in the western part of the state. we're live in raleigh with jonathan serrie. >> 5.7 million people cast ballots in north carolina. it didn't set a record in terms of sheer numbers it by far beat all previous elections. the big surprise as you pointed out was the high turnout in the western part of the state that suffered all those storm damage. other than the blue datz of asheville and boone this is a reliably conservative region and it delivered for president-elect donald trump. the state has a tradition of electing presidents and governors from opposing parties. john stein defeated republican mark robinson.

he will become the first jewish governor in north carolina. >> tonight the people of north carolina resoundingly embraced the vision that's optimistic, forward-looking and welcoming. >> i'm disappointed for you. i wanted this so bad for you. i wanted this for the people of north carolina. not for me. i wanted it for them. >> robinson, who serves as lieutenant governor, says he will spend the rest of his term helping rebuild western north carolina. >> bill: thank you, sir. nice to see you in raleigh, wake county. >> dana: the picture is less clear in swing state of nevada where voters for the president and senate are still being counted. jeff paul is live in las vegas. the number we have now looks like trump will win it. what do you hear? >> looks like it, dana. right now trump is currently ahead of kamala harris by four percentage points. it is the senate race that is

significantly closer. here is where things stand now between sam brown and incumbent democrat senator jackie rosen. he sits at 47.34, rosen is at 47.2. with more than 1 million ballots counted so far we have many more ballots coming in. in mail-in ballots that folks dropped off yesterday haven't been counted and the counting of mail-in ballots received by mail between now and saturday. the final area cured ballots. the nevada secretary of state said they have faced some issues regarding signature verification of thousands of mail-in ballots. >> we have 11,000 ballots that need to be cured. we have worked really hard over the last few days with the process. >> the last senate race here in

nevada in 2022 was also very close. democrat kathryn masto won by less than one percentage point. >> bill: we're in phoenix. >> it appears arizonians split the ticket in big ways. first president-elect donald trump currently leads vice president kamala harris in the count in this state that trump loss than just 10,000 votes in 2020. look at the senate race. now democratic congressman is ahead of gop candidate lake vying to fill the seat vacated by kyrsten sinema. if he wins he will become the nation's first latino u.s. senator. abortion was on the ballot here.

voters passed the measure enshrining the right to an abortion. democrats were counting on that to be a turnout driver. you go to immigration. proposition republicans put up also to get out the vote. it allows local police to enforce immigration law. that also passed so as we wait for that senate race to be called, bill, maricopa county elections are still counting. back to you. >> bill: we'll be with you. nice to sigh. >> dana: want to bring in kellyanne conway former trump campaign manager, fox news contributor fellow late night panelist and wonderful to have you here. i think a lot of people are wondering how "the view" is going to react this morning . we'll find out and see it on "the five" as well. look at what they said back on october 8th. >> please welcome back the next president of the united states- [cheers and applause]

>> i think it will be a blow out, actually. i don't think it will be a close race. there will be those republicans who just vote for harris. >> dana: swing and a miss kellyanne. >> they will probably insult americans for making this choice and calling us misinformed and misaligned and worse, deplorable, garbage, you name it. that matters to people. this is the election where people aren't voting just according to race or age or economic status or zip code. certainly not their gender. they do not have the big blow-out with women last night. when the final numbers came in a couple of things. you talk about "the view." i want to say something the repudiation of mainstream media and polling when some of them were trying to use their polls and percentage point empirical date to sit on the scales and wait she is having a resurgence. it's a repudiation. read an op-ed in the "washington post" explaining why they no longer endorse for president and

talking about who is the mainstream media now? low approval rating than congress. i think it's a vindication of everybody for ten years has taken on the chin being made fun of because of their political preferences and just because they are telling pollsters including fox news pollsters immigration, inflation. it wasn't difficult to figure out. when people tell you what's important to them you don't turn around and say that's not true, this is more important to you. i would like to thank the ladies of "the view." i think they helped donald trump. thank you for having kamala harris easy questions she couldn't answer. on "the view" on october 8th where she said i can't think of a single thing i would do differently than joe biden all the while saying i'm not joe biden. >> bill: reaction across the media platform. >> i have to say this is the biggest red wave i've seen since ronald reagan's 49-state victory in 1984. >> the inevitability of this actually looks as if it was

there. >> this was a sweeping victory and it comes back to washington, michael. more powerful than when he was here before. >> bill: on that last point. gauge his strength at the beginning of the second term. howard lutnik, phenomenal america runs a firm who lost 658 employees on 9/11 running the transition team for trump and trying to find thousands of employees who can go to washington but who support trump's policies as opposed to eight years ago. you wonder what kind of a head start could he have now or how would he perhaps make decisions differently at the beginning of his term as compared to january of 2017? >> afpi is focused on the policy. i talked to howard focused on the personnel.

great men and women who want to serve. the idea that donald trump now has the four years experience at 1600 pennsylvania to know what works and what doesn't work and what you need to fill those roles i think is tremendously helpful. i feel like kamala harris wasn't able to complete that. she wasn't able to say i'm here now and give me four more. they have great men and women across the country saying put me in, i want to serve. when you get a big second chance like donald trump has and you see this big red sweep in terms of every single state in this country went red except nebraska and delaware when you think about it. looking at winning the popular vote. i have a mandate but have to keep it humble. i think he will work with urgency to pick up where he left off bill and dana. the energy independence. do executive orders on the border, what you can do on the economy and some other regulations certainly and work

with congress where yes, the republicans will have majority in the senate. they expect to have a slim majority in the house and get things done legislatively. democrat friends, who among you in my congressional district people benefited from these policies on affordability, security, energy, education, school choice. big issue in pennsylvania where jd vance was going to african-american churches and grand parapheents. now josh shapiro not allowing these kids an extra chance. a big issue in pennsylvania. all that put together is we need to -- there will be some people around president trump who will pretend they are around him and speak for him and say crazy things and the media will pounce on that. it didn't work this last week with the comedian or a stray comment. he can speak for himself. i'm so pleased that somebody

like these guys, american success store eaves who have staff hired and fired their entire careers are in charge of staffing this administration. send your resume, folks. >> nice to be with you, kellyanne conway. >> i think she knows was a mistake was to say on "the view" they couldn't think of a single thing she would do differently from the biden administration. >> a lot to ponder for kamala harris. she hasn't commented on the race at all yet. this is getting bizarre. maybe we need a welfare check. we'll bring you her remarks when they happen. >> bill: we examined swing states like wisconsin and michigan and still out michigan, nevada, arizona, what happened in pennsylvania? when you think about the biggest electoral prize, what shifted? we'll take you closer in on that coming up. >> this is a fundamental realignment of american politics. donald trump has built a common sense coalition.

>> bill: the blue wall, the blue wall, the blue wall was cracked eight years ago, okay? this is it when trump first one. wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. they vote as a block. they've been doing that for 30 years. this is 2020 when they flipped. there you go. there you go, back to the blue team. and what happened last night? still waiting on michigan. but in all likelihood this michigan vote here will turn out it's up 90,000 votes, a little more than a point and a half in michigan. if he does that, you have yet again seen the blue wall vote in unison. blue, blue, blue, red in 2016,

back to red in 2024. let me go back to pennsylvania. dana, watch this, okay? this is all the counties. different shades. light red shows a closer vote. the light blue shows a closer vote. check along the new jersey border. watch right here. see that? that's how joe biden won pennsylvania and that's how donald trump has now flipped it in 2024. this is north hampton, a flipper county. one of the bellwethers, trump won there. erie, pennsylvania, one of the flippers, a bellwether, donald trump won it there as well. central part of the state. it has been a long time since i've seen center county, penn state university. college station, a long time since i've seen that county go red. he was able to flip that as well. let's bring in a woman, dana, who knows pennsylvania better than most. helene yeah zito is with us now.

she is based in pennsylvania. you've taken us along for the ride. you were in butler when the assassination attempt took place. what do you think was the breaking moment and/or issue in pennsylvania now? >> so i have been actually writing about this for a few months and i've been on the show talking to you about it. the emergence of the middle class is that is often looked at by the national media, not you guys, and democrats as being white working class. what they failed to understand sort of what the blind spot was is that white working class, hispanic working class, black and asian working class vote shoulder to shoulder coming all together because they vote about their community, their family, and their lives and the economy

was just never there for them. and the more that the democrats and biden and then harris and then the experts kept saying oh, the economy is great and they are like i can't do my budget. i have to use my credit card to pay for my groceries and that has put them in debt. and they missed the ball on that so much. they don't understand that this coalition as i wrote in my book the great revolt, this coalition was only going to expand because the democrats had pushed their working class out and the republicans have embraced them and tried to work with them on policy issues that they didn't always support like free trade. >> dana: selena, you have a really amazing immigrant story in your own family and you followed a lot of these stories. one of the things i said last night when it comes to latinos and hispanic voters, there comes

a point in every immigrant wave where you become just american, okay? my family, we all have stories. have we reached that tipping point here with latino voters that we are no longer going to be segregating out. it is american voters at this point. >> that's exactly right. i started noticing this small shift, nonetheless it existed, in 2014. but also kept growing incrementally. that's how american politics does. hispanic families and hispanic voters vote very much the same as italians did. i can just go from my own experience and look at my italian immigrant family and they sort of like to live within four blocks of their children and their grandchildren. they are often pro-life, pro-gun but also small business people who are trying to carve out a

life. you see it in hispanic communities, little plumbing companies or h vac companies and restaurants and hairdressers and they have been -- they feel that they have been left behind with the democrat party that they initially embraced when they came to this country. but as that party has changed, they have moved toward the republicans. >> bill: it is the natural evolution of human beings. they want to have -- you know, if you are raising a family, what do your kids want to do? you want them to have a better life than you had. by the way, the kids want that, too. >> yeah, they do. and they want that opportunity for those -- their children to be able to live within the same community as they do. not being stuck but being able to have opportunities so that their families can stay together.

that matters so much more than a big raise if you move to the big city. >> dana: one more question about the senate race. we haven't yet called the senate race in pennsylvania. bob casey's path would be almost impossible. how seismic would this be if it's called for dave mccormick. >> it is a big deal. casey has been in office since 1996 statewide as the u.s. senator in the commonwealth since 2006. and mccormick ran on change and i think that a lot of people missed that, that he was the change candidate, and he also, you know, just talked about look, if i mess up i'll be the first to tell you. he also term limited himself if he won. this is a really big deal.

there is no votes out there left for casey to have him overcome mccormick's numbers, there is just not. not where they are coming from. >> bill: thanks for all the intel. you have been terrific. >> dana: she is on the podcast today. >> i am. >> bill: thanks, selena. >> a decisive victory, the good news. i call it a red, white and blue wave. americans want to get their country back to normal. >> dana: ohio's new senator elect bernie moreno as republicans flip another senate seat. plus this. >> i'm telling you, we can have four more years of what we have. the gas prices, the groceries, no way, it has been terrible. now trump is going to make it great again, wooh! >> dana: inflation was a huge issue for main street voters and on wall street trump's victory is sending stocks soaring. charles payne here to break it

>> not being treated like second class citizens in our own country. we're tired of leaders who think we're garbage. >> meanwhile senator brown will leave congress after three terms in the senate. 50 years in politics. >> this is a disappointment but is not a failure. >> president-elect donald trump's endorsement of moreno played a big role. he won ohio for a third time last night. moreno tell fox trump's support was a game changer. >> it was decisive in my primary. president trump is the greatest president in my generation, beloved in ohio for good reason. we saw prosperity with president trump and secure border. >> now ohio has two republican senators with vice president elect jd vance, governor mike dewine will select a replacement for him ahead of a special

election coming up in 2026. send it back to you. >> bill: nice to see you in cleveland, ohio along the lake. >> dana: voters who cited their economy as their top issue went for trump. the dow is poised to close at a record high after his win. charles payne from fox business. address what we're seeing in the market. what is that telling us? >> telling us a few things. first and foremost the releasing of animal spirits in america again. you can pull yourself by the bootstraps. the russell 2000. small cap names, american sent rick, domestic companies that will do well without big government regulations. even when big government says we'll go after let's say the big technology companies, all they do is make it harder for smaller companies, right? when you layer rules and regulations the trillion dollar companies have lawyers.

the lawyers help the government in the first place, right? it is unleashing that we can get back to how we became the number one nation in the world, right? the number one economic powerhouse to ever exist on the planet and that right there you see reflected across the board. but particularly in certain niches. it is wonderful. >> bill: a couple of things here. elon musk caught this out. he bought the kitchen sink with x and superimposed with the oval office. voter analysis, voters who cited economy and jobs as first issue broke for trump. high prices as most important factor 64 on trump. voters who ranked the economy not so good or poor trump 68%. charles. you were good at taking us there the socio- economic thread of american life. there was a guy who worked with

me around my house ten years from mexico and this is how he made money. he was raising three sons. his sons have tattoos, listen to rap music, hispanic. the last thing they wanted to do was work for their father. they are trying to look for a chance to go ahead and build their own career and their own life. their father has given them the vehicle to do that and so, too, has this country. when you look at the minorities voting and breaking for trump, the numbers that we saw, why is that? >> you hit the nail on the head. i said this so many times particularly in the last couple of years. black men in particular are just saying don't hand me anything. that $20,000 thing that kamala harris came out with was the ultimate insult. it was the ultimate insult. you will buy my vote for $20,000? it was ignorant because one thing i've been talking about for a last week, two weeks ago

in the nfl they been nched seve young quarterbacks. not another super quarterback to teach them and train them. the same thing would happen if you handed someone $20,000 to start a business. you're not helping them, you are hurting them. everyone in this country has to begin with education from kindergarten. black kids need the most rigorous education to compete in the world. get out of my way, number two. don't punish success. when kamala harris talks about food prices and go after supermarkets. they have a 2% profit margin. we're seeing people saying i want the american dream. you can no longer buy my vote with more food stamps, government housing and that kind of crap. by the way, when the illegals came you kicked me out of the gymnasium and kicked my kids out of the school. black men really have woken up.

hispanics have opened up well. my god daughter 100% puerto rican. if i could text mr. president i would give him a hug to say congratulations. a puerto rican young lady not offended by the madison square garden stuff. >> dana: nobody was. >> a superstar athlete and students and wants the american dream. for years democrats go to black churches saying we'll raise the minimum wage. someone saying they want to get your vote for the minimum. now on out if you want the black vote we want to talk about the maximum wage. how can we get the maximum wage? the same wage everyone is getting or more? the only way to get black men's vote from here on out. >> bill: let it be said. >> dana: you're not tired. >> bill: you guys always rev me up. >> dana: this just in president george w. bush had a statement. i want to let everyone know

we've been waiting to hear from kamala harris to do the right thing, concede. i think people are holding back their statements by giving her a chance to do that. she won't speak until 6:00 p.m. tonight. these statements will come in. president george w. bush said i congratulate president tru as his election as the 47th president and vice president jd vance and their families and thank harris and biden for their service to this country. the strong turnout is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic station. there we go. >> you think about inauguration january 20th. >> dana: i hope it's warm. i'm already thinking about it. >> bill: it has never been. all those former presidents will be up there and it's a whole different atmosphere now than 2017. okay, here we go. roll on. check it out. >> it was a mandate i think for president trump because here he

pretty much won every battleground state. overall the issues that affected blacks, issues that affected latinos are what carried donald trump for the election. >> bill: it carried it was the red wave in every formulas night. republicans have already taken the white house and senate. could they make it a full sweep by winning the house? what about that popular vote? where does it stand now? a big margin. martha and bret after a big night last night will join us next. literally, they go up with the market, lock in their gains, and when the market goes down, they don't lose anything. we keep it simple. our clients earn in a reasonable rate of return and they don't lose money. if you have at least $100,000 to invest, get your investor's guide and see if it's right for you.

>> i want to thank the millions of hard working americans across the nation who have always been the heart and soul of this really great movement. we've been through so much together and today you showed up in record numbers to deliver a victory like really like no other. >> 2:30 in the morning president-elect donald trump expressing gratitude in that speech. his win one part of a red wave. republicans flipped the senate. maybe the house as well. too early to make a call. martha and bret were up late last night. cumulative sleep time was 90 minutes. job well done to both of you.

>> that board was quite something. you moved it like a ship. >> dana: he is the conductor. >> bill: we had the tiller out there. right? trump stands at 71 million cumulative votes. harris 60 some million. he could take it by a 5 million raw vote margin. >> there are a couple of messages here. one is this is a pushback. this is the majority of americans saying we're not into the woke stuff, we are hurting because of the economy, we don't like the immigration situation, and you could talk about whatever else about this election but those were what they said and every poll were important. the fact that pollsters were that off that it could be this electoral college and popular vote win and seven battleground

states and coattails that take all of these senate and house seats, it is truly amazing. >> dana: i remember in 1994 i was -- i was a junior-ish reporter and the republicans sweep everything. kellyanne was saying in every state it moved to the right. just a little bit. i want to ask you this. pull up call for number two. trump gains in deep blue states where he didn't win but look at new jersey. we both have houses there and love living there. harris is only plus five. biden was plus 15. illinois is where i was, just remarkable. new york, biden was plus 23. she is plus 11. >> look at the bronx, queens, new york. something i think president trump felt in his gut that there was movement in those areas and you look at what we saw in a lot of cities across the country.

places like chicago where his margin was more than you would have expected. and i think what it proves is that the issue of immigration and crime that people were told didn't exist, you don't have a crime problem. it is fine. you saw a reaction to that. in retrospect when you look at the senate wins and some of them are still on the fence, there are places where they might have put money and dug if deeper to some of these other areas even in some of these senate races in these typically blue states. the country is changing is what we learned last night in a big way. >> dana: the biden-harris team. policies and consequences. that is what you are seeing. >> bill: i was thinking about what bret was saying there talking about inauguration last segment here. i was on the west side of the capitol for biden's inauguration. it was the weirdest thing ever. january 2021, everybody is sitting ten feet apart scattered chairs about. massive teleprompter, 200 yards away.

in that teleprompter was his speech that talked consistently about unity in america. how do you look back over the past four years and how did he carry the mantel. then you talk about trump. had the vote been a squeaker, what would that have been for his governing power for a mandate. the fact it hasn't been electorally. within the minority vote of african-americans and hispanics. the fact it is strengthens his hand i do believe and what do you think about that come january 2025? >> 100%. it is good for america that it is clean. that we're done. >> dana: yes, absolutely. >> there is a thing. the definite. the fact the vice president has not spoken is really quite something, i think. i think she should have spoken last night while she had the crowd. it is now -- it may be in my hour special report at 6:00 p.m.

we welcome it. but i just think it's so wrong. he has a mandate. 100% coalition than any other republican has ever had and has a mandate. he said promises made, promises kept last night. and i think he has been there before and he knows the levers to make the changes. >> bill: maybe the 3:00 will get it, not the 6:00. >> i don't mean to compete. >> dana: i just think about the border when i listen to you saying this because we've seen many times when there has been a mandate that gets wasted and we heard from speaker johnson. he doesn't want to waste that mandate. i think the second time around having that four years break in the middle is an energizer in terms of quick action. >> dana: super astute. i'm not surprised it is super astute. love being quarterback. really great.

as bret said we're waiting on vice president harris to officially concede the race let alone speak. the president-elect trump has been waiting for that. campaign calling the press to her home at 4:00 p.m. eastern at the naval observatory. maybe "the five" will get it. we'll talk to you later and be right back with more "america's newsroom." veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates

>> harris: president-elect donald trump is set to be the second president to ever serve non-consecutive terms in the history of our nation. we'll dive into the data and look into exactly why americans chose the way they did. plus republicans recapture the senate majority with the house still too close to call at this hour, anyway. the liberal media claiming the sky is falling. so much for bringing the country together. congresswoman elise stefanik. her voice was so important this political cycle. lisa boothe, pete hegseth. "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> bill: president-elect donald trump facing lawfare. what happens in those cases? do they go away? david spunt, d.o.j. in washington. hello. >> hello, bill. the president-elect's legal problems are on life support. classified documents case was already dismissed over the summer. special counsel jack smith is

appealing. smith is still charging forward with a case involving trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. that's in washington, d.c. it is still moving forward but expected to change when trump takes office in a couple of months. he said recently smith would be fired in two seconds. here are a few scenarios to play out. the first and most likely trump has the new attorney general fire special counsel smith dropping the charges against him. it makes the jack smith case history once and for all and also possible smith just leaves his own case and drops it to avoid the public firing. trump is the first president in history to be a convicted felon and the first to win re-election as such while federal cases are no longer a danger, he has those two state cases in georgia and new york hush money case. the sentencing is new york is set for november 26th before thanksgiving. that likely will be postponed. a case trump cannot pardon himself given a state conviction. the short answer here his legal

problems likely all going away now that he has won re-election. >> bill: thank you, david. think about a year ago and all those legal matters. >> dana: think how many hours we spent watching him be in a courtroom all day, do a rally and be in court the next day. one thing about kamala harris. there was a lot of excitement about a woman being elected president. that didn't happen. the fact that she has not conceded and that she will wait so long to speak is not showing young women strength to be able to say look, you can fight hard, you can come up short and you can still live to fight another day with joy. but instead we have this empty picture from the naval observatory and have to wait another seven hours to hear from her. >> bill: good to be with you along for the ride. see you at 5:00. here is harris. >> dana: fox new
