New York Democrat rips ‘far left’ for Trump victory: ‘Ivory-towered nonsense’
A Democratic congressman from New York recently blamed progressives for President-elect Trump’s victory this week, arguing that far-left causes actually disenchant certain voters. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., claimed that his party has “alienated historic numbers” of minority voters in an X (former Twitter) post on Wednesday. Torres, a vocal supporter of Israel, pointed fingers at pro-Palestinian protests as one of the causes – as well as the movement to defend police. “Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like ‘Defund the Police’ or ‘From the River to the Sea’ or ‘Latinx,’ Torres wrote. “There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world,” the Democrat added. “The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.” MONTAGE: LIBERAL MEDIA PUNDITS PREDICTED KAMALA HARRIS VICTORY Torres’ comments came in the aftermath of the initial 2024 election results, which found that Vice President Harris had less favorability among Latino and Hispanic voters than President Biden did in 2020. According to a Fox News Voter Analysis, Biden garnered 63% of Latino support in 2020 while Harris only had 54% this year. Another Fox News Voter Analysis found that support for Trump among Latino and Hispanic voters jumped from 35% in 2020 to 41% in 2024. HARRIS WILL NOT SPEAK FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY ON ELECTION NIGHT AS PLANNED The shift came days after the Trump campaign was criticized for hosting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a high-profile Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The comedian made an inflammatory joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage,” prompting an outcry. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., attempted to use Hinchliffe’s joke as an opportunity to sway the Latino community shortly after he uttered the remark. “That’s just what they think about you,” the congresswoman said during a Twitch stream. “It’s what they think about anyone who makes less money than them. It’s what they think about the people who serve them food in a restaurant. It’s what they think about the people who, who fold their clothes in a store.”
Biden says selecting Harris as running mate was ‘best decision I made’ after VP’s concession speech
After Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech on Wednesday conceding her loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 race, President Biden issued a statement saying that selecting Harris as his running mate was the “best decision” he made. In a written statement, Biden said Harris stepped up to lead a “historic campaign” under “extraordinary circumstances.” Harris’ campaign, Biden said, “embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.” SIMONE BILES CALLS FOR BIDEN TO ‘MAKE THINGS SHAKE’ BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE AFTER TRUMP BLASTS HARRIS Biden said selecting Harris was the first decision he made after he became the nominee for president in 2020. “It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story,” Biden said. GOP CHALLENGER UNSEATS REP. SUSAN WILD IN PENNSYLVANIA The statement came shortly after Harris told supporters at her alma mater, Howard University, that she had lost her race against Trump. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” Harris said. “But hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright, as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.” Harris had planned to address Wednesday’s audience on Election Night with a more upbeat message to deliver. Instead, when Harris took the stage, she looked out at a sea of American flags and notably forlorn faces. She was flanked by 30 American flags.
Catholic swing voters were critical to Donald Trump’s blowout victory: ‘Harris snubbed us’
Catholic voters across the country swung massively towards Donald Trump in the 2024 election, contributing to his surprise blowout victory on election night. Catholics were evenly split between President Joe Biden and Trump in 2020, with 50 percent favoring Trump to 49 percent favoring Biden. According to exit polling collected by Fox News on election night, Catholics across the country swung nine percentage points in Trump’s favor, with the former and now-future president winning Catholics by 10 points. Bill Donohue, president of the religious civil rights group the Catholic League, told Fox News Digital that Catholics resoundingly rejected Harris because of what he called a “clear animus against Catholics.” “She was rejected primarily because she is associated with the politics of extremism, and that is something the American people will never countenance,” he said. HARRIS FORMALLY CONCEDES ONE DAY AFTER TRUMP’S SWEEPING VICTORY There are approximately 52 million Catholic adults in the U.S., making it the largest religious denomination in the country. Until now, political opinions among Catholic voters have been split between the two parties, leading many to believe that there is no such thing as a Catholic voting bloc. But after Tuesday’s election results, Brian Burch, president of the conservative activism group CatholicVote, is saying that Catholic voters proved that theory wrong. “There is an emerging electoral trend here that Republicans, if they are smart, will latch onto,” he told Fox News Digital. TRUMP ADDRESSES SUPPORTERS IN VICTORY SPEECH CatholicVote issued its first presidential endorsement in its history for Trump in January. The group devoted $10 million to advertising, education and a “Catholic-to-Catholic” canvassing program emphasizing the critical swing states. According to a CatholicVote memo shared exclusively with Fox News Digital, the group contacted over two million Catholic voters across the country, including approximately 100,000 “high affinity, low propensity Catholics” in the swing states Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The memo states that the 2024 election has proven that “Democrats have a Catholic problem, and must now wrestle with the growing influence of the progressive wing of [the] party that is openly hostile to people of faith.” Burch explained that “Democrats in the past have been able to hold together a lot of Catholic voters, whether by tradition or by platitudes around social justice and posturing as if they cared about the poor and vulnerable.” “It turns out in this election, the poor and vulnerable are the people suffering from inflation and from an out-of-control border that had created crime and instability in their communities,” he said. While the Catholic swing exceeded expectations on the national level, the margin of Catholic voters favoring Trump was even larger in some of the most critical swing states. In Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes and was considered the most important swing state by both candidates, Catholics make up a quarter of the electorate. According to Fox exit polling, Catholic voters in Pennsylvania favored Trump by a margin of 56 to 43 percent, that is 13 points. Meanwhile, Catholic voters in two of the next largest swing states – North Carolina (16 electoral votes) and Michigan (15 electoral votes) – voted in Trump’s favor by 17 and 20 percentage points, respectively. Trump also won Wisconsin Catholics by 16 percentage points, helping to deliver the state’s 10 electoral votes to the former president. According to the CatholicVote memo, there were two key moments in the 2024 presidential race in which Harris lost the Catholic vote. The first was when Harris told protestors in La Crosse, Wisconsin, that they were “at the wrong rally” after they shouted, “Jesus is lord.” The second was when Harris said in an NBC interview that she opposed religious exemptions for doctors providing abortions. “Kamala Harris snubbed us, and she repeatedly affirmed our deepest fears about her animus and bigotry towards Catholics. She opposed a judicial nominee because he was Catholic. She introduced legislation that would cut our charities. She said there would be no accommodations for Catholics when it came to her abortion policies, which would effectively have ended Catholic health care in America,” he explained. In short, Burch said it became clear that Harris presented “a threat to our Catholic way of life.” Meanwhile, Burch said that Trump’s message of improving the economy and restoring law and order to the border and to communities has increasingly connected with everyday working-class Catholics. What has emerged, Burch said, is a “new synthesis” of what he called “a populist social justice that prioritizes family first policies, America first economic policies, and then, in a larger way, the plight of the everyday American who feels left behind by their own government.” Burch shared that he has been in contact with Trump’s policy advisors “fairly regularly” about the issues most important to everyday Catholics and their families. He said that he spoke with Trump just before he took the stage at a rally in Milwaukee last Friday night. “We spoke about the importance of the Catholic vote and I told him that … Catholics were going to deliver this election for him,” he said. “It turns out I was right.”

Trump-hating NY Attorney General Letitia James, governor rip Trump: ‘prepared to fight back’
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, who’ve spent years prosecuting and disparaging Donald Trump, vowed to fight back against any potential “revenge or retribution” that may be coming their way now that President-elect Trump will be returning to the White House. Hochul offered congratulations to Trump during a press conference on Wednesday while also commending his opponent, Vice President Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for a “hard-fought campaign that really lifted up so many issues that matter to Americans.” She acknowledged that the results may not have been what many had hoped for but reassured her constituents that New York has overcome hard times before. “That’s why I have the confidence in my team and all those we work closely with that we will get through the uncertainty of a new administration in Washington because, as I said, we’ve done this before,” Hochul said. “I want to be very clear that while we honor the results of this election and will work with anyone who wants to be a partner in achieving the goals of our administration in our state, that does not mean we’ll accept an agenda from Washington that strips away the rights that New Yorkers have long enjoyed.” FORMER AIDE TO NEW YORK GOV HOCHUL, WHO IS ACCUSED OF BEING CHINESE SPY, WENT ON A TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE The governor reminded the public that New York is the birthplace of the women’s rights movement, the environmental justice movement, the LGBTQ rights movement and the American labor movement, saying the state will continue to be a “bastion” of freedom and the rule of law. She also announced the establishment of the Empire State Freedom Initiative, which will focus on areas Hochul and other state officials believe could face threats from the Trump administration. She said the initiative will offer protections for reproduction rights, civil rights, immigration, gun safety, labor rights, LGBTQ rights and environmental justice. “Our team will do whatever we have to do to identify any possible threats to these rights that we hold dear in the state of New York and protect New Yorkers,” Hochul said. “This will include legislation, rulemaking, appropriations and partnerships with our congressional delegation and including the Biden administration at this time.” SHOCK NUMBER: TRUMP HAS HIGHER APPROVAL RATING IN DEEP BLUE STATE THAN ITS GOVERNOR She called on Trump to support New York’s ongoing efforts to obtain funding for major critical infrastructure with the MTA and to back economic development projects like those funded by the Chips and Science Act. “I will work with him or anybody, regardless of party, on these kind of efforts that I know will benefit the state of New York,” Hochul said. “However, if you try to harm New Yorkers or rollback their rights, I will fight you every step of the way. New Yorkers are resilient. We fought the first time around, and we’ll fight again.” James also congratulated Trump on his win, but not without spite. She told the people of New York that she and other state officials would work with Trump and his administration “if possible” but without compromising the state’s integrity or principles. HARRIS NOW THE SECOND DEM CANDIDATE TO LOSE TO TRUMP AND NOT SPEAK TO SUPPORTERS ELECTION NIGHT “We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result. And my office has been preparing for several months because we’ve been here before,” James said. “We faced this challenge before, and we used the rule of law to fight back. And we are prepared to fight back once again because, as the attorney general of this great state, it is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law. And I will not shrink from that responsibility.” Between 2019 and 2021, James said, her office took nearly 100 legal actions against Trump’s previous administration, including when he attempted to put a cap on state and local taxes and tried to eliminate funds and grants for law enforcement officials in New York. James said her office also fought to protect the Affordable Care Act, prevent a question about citizenship from being on the census, and put a stop to the dismantling of the U.S. Postal Service, among other things. She also said she knows the Trump administration’s playbook and has a contingency plan in place to respond to any attack on the state. “We’re ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York, as the governor outlined,” James said. “So, despite what has happened on the national stage, we will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge or retribution. “This is not the time to be fearful, New York, but faithful and steadfast, knowing that I, as the attorney general, along with my entire team, we are guardians of the law, and we are prepared, my friends, to fight back,” she added. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter.
Harris formally concedes one day after Trump’s sweeping victory
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris, in her first public comments since losing the 2024 White House race to former President Trump, urged supporters to “accept the results.” But Harris on Wednesday afternoon emphasized that “while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.” The vice president spoke at Howard University, her alma mater, where her campaign held a large election night watch party. Harris never addressed the crowd on Tuesday night, as initial optimism about the election turned dour as the clock struck past midnight. Trump ended up winning a sweeping electoral and popular vote victory over Harris, as Republicans won back the Senate for the first time in four years. Meanwhile, control of the House was still up for grabs on the day after the election. CLICK HERE FOR FOX NEWS 2024 ELECTION UPDATES The vice president, who walked to the podium one last time to Beyonce’s “Freedom,” the song that had become Harris’ unofficial anthem, noted near the top of her roughly 12-minute address that “my heart is full today.” “The outcome of this election is not what we hoped, not what we fought, not what we voted for,” she said. “But hear when I say… the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.” HOW TRUMP WON: THE DETAILS FROM THE FOX NEWS VOTER ANALYSIS The vice president also seemed to take aim at Trump, who for four years has blamed his 2020 White House loss to President Biden on unproven claims of a “rigged election” and who repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to overturn the results. “Earlier today I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory,” Harris said. “I also told him we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.” She emphasized that “a fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results… anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.” The vice president also stressed that “we owe loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution of the United States.” Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general and U.S. senator, ran unsuccessfully for the 2020 presidential nomination. But Biden named his primary rival as his running mate and the two have spent the past four years steering the nation. TRUMP’S VICTORY CALLED ‘GREATEST POLITICAL COMEBACK’ Harris, for most of the 2024 election cycle, was the dutiful running mate as Biden bid for a second four-year term in the White House. But everything changed in late June, due to Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump. The 81-year-old Biden’s halting and stumbling delivery fueled questions about his physical and mental ability to serve another four years in the White House. And it sparked calls from within the Democratic Party for Biden to drop out of the White House race. The president finally succumbed to the pressure and on July 21, in a blockbuster announcement that rocked the 2024 election, Biden ended his bid and endorsed his vice president. The Democratic Party quickly coalesced around Harris, who instantly enjoyed a jump in the polls and a massive surge in fundraising. The Harris honeymoon continued through the late August Democratic National Convention and into September, when most pundits declared her the winner of the one and only presidential debate between her and Trump. But as the calendar moved from September into October, Trump appeared to regain his footing, and public opinion surveys indicated the former president gaining momentum. Then, in the final days of the campaign, the mood and the vibe appeared to switch again, this time to Harris, who closed out her White House bid on a positive note and didn’t mention Trump’s name during the last 48 hours leading up to Election Day. Meanwhile, Trump struck a more negative and angrier tone on the campaign trail as he crisscrossed the key battleground states in the stretch run. But the former president ended up with a sweeping victory, as Americans returned him to the White House. Preliminary data from the Fox News Voter Analysis of the 2024 election pointed to a political realignment, as it spotlighted that Trump ran up the score with his MAGA base while narrowing traditional Democratic advantages among Black, Hispanic and young voters. Harris came close in her bid to become the first woman elected to the presidency, but was unable to make enough gains in the ideological middle of the electorate to offset defections among groups that traditionally vote Democratic. The Fox News Voter Analysis is a survey of more than 110,000 voters nationwide which highlights the 2024 campaign’s key dynamics. Just as damaging: Harris wasn’t able to escape the massive unpopularity of the Biden/Harris administration, where polls indicated that nearly three quarters of voters said the country was on the wrong track. The Fox News Voter Analysis spotlighted that in an election where voters across the nation wanted change, they chose Trump’s outsider appeal over Harris’ promise to “turn the page” on the Trump era.

Trump makes gains with some Puerto Ricans this election despite controversial ‘garbage’ joke
The controversial “floating garbage” joke about Puerto Rico made by a comedian at a rally for Republican President-elect Donald Trump during the final days before the election may not have had the negative effect on Trump’s support from Puerto Ricans that critics expected it would. Despite the backlash from the quip made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally in New York City roughly a week before Tuesday, Trump still won several Florida counties with the state’s largest concentration of Puerto Ricans, which he lost in both 2020 and 2016. Osceola County, which is home to the largest concentration of Puerto Ricans in the Sunshine State based on census data, voted in favor of Trump on Tuesday night after voting Democrat in the last two elections in which Trump ran. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade and Hillsborough counties, two other districts with a significant population of Puerto Ricans that Trump lost in 2020 and 2016, also went for Trump this time around. Trump not only garnered significant support in Florida’s counties with large Puerto Rican populations, the U.S. territory also chose a candidate who is a Trump ally as its next governor. AOC SLAPPED WITH COMMUNITY NOTE AFTER CLAIMING MASSIVE PUERTO RICAN RALLY HAD TO DO WITH ANTI-TRUMP MOVEMENT Questions about how Trump would fare with the Latino electorate began swirling in the lead-up to Election Day after Hinchcliffe created a firestorm after appearing at a Trump rally and telling a joke that likened Puerto Rico to a “floating pile of garbage.” “Comments like these motivate us. Latinos aren’t a group to be underestimated, especially when it comes to our impact at the ballot box,” Ana Valdez, the CEO of a Latino nonprofit, told Newsweek ahead of Tuesday’s election. “We expect this weekend’s comments to drive even more turnout in Latino-heavy states like Arizona, Nevada and Florida.” Meanwhile, an unidentified female voter of Puerto Rican descent spoke to CNN on Election Day and was asked how Hinchcliffe’s joke may have affected who she chose to support. The voter said the joke did not sit right with her but concluded that “at the end of the day” she wanted to vote for who will give her “a better life in the future,” regardless of such comments. The voter added that this was a decision she and her family came together on. I’M PUERTO RICAN AND KAMALA HARRIS WOULD CONTINUE DEMOCRAT DESTRUCTION OF THE ISLAND Furthermore, other Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania told Fox News that Hinchcliffe’s joke did not impact their support for Trump either, even though one of their state lawmakers insisted it would have an “undeniable impact” on the election’s results. In addition to the ground Trump gained among Puerto Rican voters this election, Puerto Rico’s four-way gubernatorial race ended with a victory by Trump ally Jenniffer González-Colón, who was previously the nonvoting delegate to Congress for the territory. Hispanics overall were significantly less supportive of 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Harris than they were of President Biden in 2020. While a majority of Hispanic voters supported Harris over Trump, the vice president’s eight-point margin of victory on Tuesday paled to Biden’s 33-point margin of victory over Trump in 2020.
Teary-eyed Nancy Pelosi arrives to see Kamala Harris concede presidential race at Howard University
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared somber and teary-eyed while waiting to see defeated candidate Vice President Harris make a concession speech on Wednesday. Arriving at Howard University on Wednesday afternoon, Pelosi was photographed greeting Harris supporters while appearing tearful. In a particularly emotional picture, Pelosi pouted as if just about to weep, and had watery eyes. Other pictures showed Pelosi smiling at the event and mingling with attendees. Harris’ concession speech comes after a historic neck-and-neck presidential race ended with a Trump victory early Wednesday morning. While the election was expected to be a toss-up, the scope of Trump’s victory shocked both sides of the political aisle. MONTAGE: LIBERAL MEDIA PUNDITS PREDICTED KAMALA HARRIS VICTORY Pelosi and Trump have a great deal of enmity towards each other, regularly insulting each other in public. During a speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this week, Trump described Pelosi as something that “starts with a B.” “She’s an evil, sick, crazy…,” the Republican candidate said, stopping short. “It starts with a B, but I won’t say it. I wanna say it.” Pelosi has returned the jabs back to Trump in the past, and recently claimed that he was suffering from “cognitive degeneration” during a recent appearance on MSNBC. HARRIS WILL NOT SPEAK FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY ON ELECTION NIGHT AS PLANNED “[Voters] have to know that he can’t last as president for four years with his brain deteriorating at the rate that it is … and they may be voting for President Vance, which would be a horrible thing for our country,” Pelosi claimed. In response, the Trump campaign insulted Pelosi in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The only thing deteriorating is Nancy Pelosi who is a decrepit washed up corrupt politician who America can no longer stand,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “She should go back to the City of San Francisco, which she has totally destroyed, and never return.” Fox News Digital reached out to Pelosi’s office for comment, but did not immediately hear back. Fox News Digital’s Alex Nitzberg contributed to this report.
