Donald Trump has unofficially won in Northampton County. With all 154 precincts in and all 58,914 mail-in ballots counted, he has 88,171 votes to 84,291 for Kamala Harris. Because NorCo is considered a bellwether for the rest of the country, this is very bad news for Harris supporters.
Harris had 36,730 mail-in ballots to 21,229 for Trump. But Trump trounced Harris with election day votes, 66,942 to 47,531. Turnout was a remarkable 74.6%.
Other than long lines, there were few problems at the polls. In Bethlehem 3, known as Banana Factory, Lehigh U students had to wait several hours to cast their votes. President Judge Craig Dally spurned a Democratic request to keep polls open until 10 pm, but students remained and voted, giving Harris 1,482 votes to just 360 for Trump.
The unofficial tally does not include provisional ballots. Those will be computed during the official canvass, which starts November 8 and is open to the public. They are unlikely to change the results in any significant way.
It was something of a red wave. Voters chose Republican Dave McCormick over incumbent Bob Casey, 84,265 to 82,254. They voted for Republicans in all of the row office races. They voted Republican in all contested state house races. Despite being significantly outspent and outworked, incumbent Republican Joe Emrick defeated Anna Thomas in the 137th, 20,203 to 18.796.
Only Democrat incumbent Congress member Susan Wild survived in the county, though she appears to be losing the race. She won NorCo with 85,241 votes to 84,976 for Republican Ryan Mackenzie. But she is leading in Lehigh County, which is still only partially reported. She has 94,235 votes there to 89,704 for Mackenzie. She was crushed in Carbon County, especially after word leaked that she disparaged the voters there. Mackenzie garnered 19,517 votes to 7,499 for Wild. Combining the three counties, it appears that Mackenzie has 194,197 votes to 186,975 for Wild.
NorCo's votes are reflected statewide. Harris is behind in Bucks County, one of the collar counties around Philadelphia. Unofficially, Trump leads in the state with 50.83% of the vote.
Nationally, the New York Times reports that Trump has 267 electoral college votes, with 270 needed for a victory.

God we need your help!
I’m shocked. I’m sick. I’m concerned. I didn’t like Harris, but the extreme fringe of Trump supporters scares the hell out of me. America has votes in a felon who will pardon himself and who has the privilege of pardoning many who worked in the White House with him. I am truly scared for what will come because this man will have too much power. I am sorry world, I tried.
David fought hard against Goliath, but Goliath has won it all!
It's official!! Congratulations to President-Elect Donald John Trump! As the 45th and 47th President of the United States, he is the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms, the first being Grover Cleveland. God Bless America!
It was women, Hispanics, and black men who propelled Trump to victory.
Item #1: Lynn Cheney goes to jail.
Trump
Not only did he defeat the democrats but he defeated The Fake media they may lie more than the democrats if that is possible Fake media and fake blogs can not be trusted by the American people.
A major part of this great victory is the house and senate The American people see how bad the democrats are Now Trump can govern with out those Democrats interfering with his policies Maybe the house will not waste time and money on fake impeachments.
Bernie the pizza in there heads will be exploding to print on this page today.
Bob Casey was only in office for 30 years. It's a shame his career is being cut short. Waddling Susan Wild needs to lose a few pounds and reflect on her statements and policy decisions regarding others' health.
Great to see Anna Thomas and all of her outside money rejected.
MSM (MSNBC, NBC, CNN) are claiming that "America was not ready to elect a woman as president" . Incorrect. America refused to elect THAT WOMAN for ANYTHING as she has proved to be unworthy of holding ANY position in government....
To quote Ronald Reagan: It's Morning in America! God Bless the USA!
A lot of Americans will not vote for a woman.
This is what you get when you call half the country racist, and in a cult led by Hitler- you fed into the media's narrative!
Best thing that ever happened to the D party. Now they can get back to the middle and not have the crazies running the party.
Trump is by far, the most consequential figure in the history of American Politics!
Go find your safe space and a binky
She was running around with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. Trump was slinging fries and jumping in garbage trucks. Game. Set. Match.
Now that this is over decisively, can we get a commitment from the Dems to come together... period. Lets be a real country again stop with the fringe progressive bs.
1st they censored him as a sitting president, then they tried to jail him & his family, tried bankrupting him, and for 10 years called him Hitler- 90% of the media fed into the lies! God Bless the USA!
Can you now please stop demonizing your neighbors as cultist?
Leavenworth or FCI Florence Supermax, The little bulldog better flee to Ukraine!
As a Trump voter, I am obviously pleased. My future seems much brighter, more secure now.
Kamala Harris was just not a good candidate and despite our state-run news media’s best efforts, enough Americans were intelligent enough to cut through all their crap and censorship. Let this be a lesson to The Morning Call. YOU, Morning Call, are the garbage.
Those who look carefully at today’s numbers, and considering how much grief Democrats gave Trump since 2020, my claims of election cheating by Democrats back then now looks less likely to have been just another conspiracy theory to be scoffed at.
It’s a BEAUTIFUL DAY IN AMERICA!
If I may, l will lick the tears from your face Bernie.
Unlike Biden, he won't try to imprison his enemies- he didn''t do it in his 1st term, he won't do it now. Now I hope, the IRS stops auditing my Republican friends!
Embrace the suck, we were told.
He’s already given us help by saving Trump’s life from the assassins bullet. To the White House again
This is just the start we must get rid of more democrats in the next Midterm and on the local level we must take back our schools too many democrats on the school boards all they do spend and raise taxes They must Go
We survived the first 4 years of Trump. We survived 4 years of Biden. Don't worry, we will survive another 4 years of Trump...little dramatic, aren't you?
Bye, bye Casey & Wild!
I look forward to the detention camps that his enemies so feared.
Agree 100%
RIP USA
For what exactly? Because she wasn't afraid to speak the truth?
The only fake media is Faux 'News', OAN, Newsmax and others of the same ilk
Total voters down by 20 million? Did these people leave the country? Or was it cleaned up voter roles in GA, NC, VA, AZ etc? It took Oregon several cycles to tighten up mail-in problems. Perhaps that's what happened? It makes 2020 look even more suspicious than ever.
It was a cleanup sweep and election trifecta. Trump won the electoral college, popular vote (by more than 5 million and still going up), and earned more than 51% of the vote. Clearly a mandate. Taking the House and Senate on top validates what I just said.
Morning joe and CNN are the biggest assholes on the face of this earth They are losers bigtime not Trump he took back the presidency along with getting rid of a lot of no good democrats They are blaming everybody from tampon Tim to Jill Biden who dressed in Republican Red to vote.
Bernie I want to thank you for your lies about Trump, you calling him all kinds of names, Morning Joe and the view also helped to get Trump into office again. The Media is a disgrace they are just an extension of the democratic party.
The stock market is sure happy Trump won.
So now we have a convicted felon for president. Do we have to buy his bitcoin? Does he not get sentenced in November? The lack of civic education in this country has led us to this. But remember, this isn’t any great victory. It was narrow. And we have a senator who doesn’t live in PA because rather than learn about the candidates voters voted straight party. Pennsylvania , you’ve been farmed out. So another four years of name calling, erratic behavior, petty vindications, and sooo much more grifting. Goodbye Department of Education, goodbye Department of Justice, goodbye Supreme Court, and goodbye Ukraine, oh, and goodbye Social Security as we know it. I’m so ashamed of my country because of this.
God spared Trump life for a reason to take back this country from the democratic lunatics Who would Kill babies up to Birth, Give out sex change operations, The party who hate religions, Trump has a lot of good work to do and he will
People were sick of being told not to believe their eyes.
They were told repeatedly the border is secure.
They were told inflation was transitory.
They were told crime was down. It’s not. REPORTED crime is down.
They were told don’t believe what you see Joe Biden runs circles around his staff.
They were told Kamala, all that far left shit she supported, don’t believe her own words she’s a Glock toting moderate republican now.
They were told a biological male doesn’t have an advantage over a female in sports.
America just has had enough. Biden got to cute trying to be the next FDR.
You and the Democrats have no credibility You people lie lie and call names and you think you are going win no way the good American people seen right through you fake people
A lot of people including democrats think a lot of the democratic party is dead they are right the democratic lunatics will be a thing of the past because they are very bad people who have very bad policies. the good American have seen this so they should go away.
Harris running around with all the celebrities. Nobody gives a fuck what they think. Stupid!
I hope the lunatic judge throws Trump in Jail that will be the last straw. for the lunatic left.
1.5 billion dollars wasted on a failed presidential bid.
But there is hope on the horizon for Democrats.
You’ve allowed 12 million illegal immigrants into this country.
And at some point, they’re going to owe you a vote.
Sadly, Can't stop stupid.
Another class by Harris she would not address her supporters last night Send her back to California.
if you want a good laugh today Watch the VIEW
If Biden was half as uniting and healing as he claims to be, he would ex order all judicial proceedings against Trump stopped today. Of course he won't...
BS lawfare is so 3rd world.
Bernie I noticed in your blog a good number of democrats where convinced Harris will win now that we have an electoral landslide what will they say now.
You're sick! Goodbye to imprisoning your opponents, and denying those whom you disagree with, their 1st amendment rights!
This is what you'd expect after 4 years of calling half the country racists!
By far, Trump is the most consequential political figure in the entire world! They tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, and spent Billions of $ smearing him & his MAGA movement!
Candidate quality matters- ask Casey, Wild, Cartwright, etc. Harris was a terrible candidate who tried, like Biden, to hide in a basement. Didn't work a 2nd time!
I actually got tired of this blog bashing Trump and his supporters on a daily basis!
9:35, it certainly was NOT a landslide. You can use that word over and over, but that doesn't make it factual, it just makes you an uninformed generalist. So now it's back to old white guys running the show. Back to the grifting family Trump, but don't worry, Trump is going to protect women-- "whether women like it, or not."
I agree. This time it will be worse-- he'll have no guardrails. He'll surround himself with people who agree with him and enjoy and benefit from his erratic, chaotic behavior.
God will not forgive you for casting your vote for a bible beating phony like Trump. Forgive them sinners o'lord for they know not what they did. We don't have to worry about Global warming to destroy the earth,,,,we now have Donald Trump.
You called him a racist, and Hispanics and black men gave him unprecedented support.
You called him a misogynist, and women rallied to him.
You called him a Nazi, and Jewish Americans turned out for him.
You called him an elitist, and laborers carried him.
In the end, your bullsh$t only mattered to you, and only served to feed your own racism, misogyny, anti-semitism, and elitist arrogance.
Ironically, MAGA has deemed THIS election a free and fair one...
And a lot of Americans will not vote for a white male, get over this by getting good candidates regardless of your identity politics! BTW I am a female and vote the policies not sex, race creed ect.
It’s too not to…….shows your educational level…..
It was the economy stupid!!!
To heal the nation, Biden needs to do the right thing, and pardon BOTH Trump & his son! In 2016, when Trump won, many people wanted him to go after Hillary Clinton, but he said, "she's been through enough," and never did.
VOTERS were tired of WOKE. VOTERS were tired of ILLEGLAL IMMIGRATION. VOTERS were tired of INFLATION. VOTERS were tired of the LEFT WING MEDIA. VOTERS were tired of the BIDEN/HARRIS ADMINISTRATION. VOTERS were tired of WAR. VOTERS were tired of RICH CELEBRITIES. VOTERS were tired of FREE FREE FREE. The fact that the VOTERS turned everything upside down in the world of politics is amazing.
NOW, WE NEED TERM LIMITS FOR ALL OF THE SWAMP THAT STILL REMAINS, INCLUDING EVERY POLITICAL SEAT, INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT. NO ONE SHOULD BE IN POLITICS, AS FUNDED BY THE TAXPERS, FOR ETERNITY!!
#TERMLIMITSFORALL!!
Oh No! No more bashing Trump as a candidate day after day! The Express=Times is bow totally dependent on Ask Eric, Dear Abby, Hints from Heloise, and Miss Manners. Just exactly what do their employees do all day?
I'm so glad that people who have a limited view of politics, and treat these elections like it's some football game are satisfied that voted in a narcissistic dictator as president. You didn't vote for him because of his economic policies, you voted for him because you love that he's a bigot and says the quiet, hateful part out loud.
But yeah, go to church on Sunday and continue the charade of believing you're a good person.
Trump says his mantra is going to be: Promises made, promises kept. Can someone who's been tracking his promises closely list a Top10 or 15 here? These could be excellent items for LVRamblings to check back in on every once in a while. I am trying to list some, but maybe I'm not doing a great job...
1) Campaign to deport ~20M illegals?
2) Fentanyl crisis solved?
3) Russian invasion of Ukraine solved?
4) Revenge against Pelosis, Schiff, Cheneys (and others)?
5) Tariffs on all foreign imports?
6) Eliminate Dept of Education?
7) Crime reduced?
8) No men in women's sports
9) ?
I really do agree. This man has made his political career something of historic proportions. I’m too old to ever see it happen but people laughed about Trump earning a place on Mount Rushmore. Fewer are laughing now, and his best effort to save our nation is yet to come.
You and the Dems gave us no choice!
you're sick!
So when the Dem Supreme Court rtook it upon themselves to redistrict after the 2022 census, they tried to keep both Wild and Cartwright by swapping Monroe and Carbon counties. Congratulations Marc Elias, now you lose them both.
you're sick!
Where did 20 million voters from 2020 go? Also odd that we didn't have to wait 5 days for results.
Found the Grammer nazi (grammar intentionally spelled incorrectly).
Honestly, 9:03 AM, our nation was being taken right up to the door of Communism. That march has been put on hold.
At my advanced age, though you might sometime get your wish, I am looking forward to missing out on everything you have failed to see. Had Harris been announced as winner, the process of citizen voting would have been just for show going forward.
I'm terrified that we'll go back to no new wars and Middle East peace agreements. I feel so bad for the military industrial complex and their warmonger legislators. Who will they arm and profiteer from? Peace is horrible!
I’m not Bernie, but what we’ll hear now from Democrats is how much this election was fixed, how Trump is not eligible to serve, how they (Democrats) must do the right thing by contesting this result, refusing to certify, etc., etc.
There are no bigger hypocrites on Earth than modern day Democrats. We haven’t seen the last of how far they are willing to go.
Cheney withheld exculpatory evidence and colluded with a key January 6th witness to commit perjury and obstruct a congressional investigation, per the report from The House Administration Subcommittee On Oversight Report (March 11, 2024). That's illegal. She requires jail time to set an example of why this type of dirty lawfare by either party is dangerous to democracy.
This is the beginning of the end of any decency left in our country.
Never liked Trump. He's a blowhard and self-promoter. But I've never liked any POTUS candidate. It's the economy, unchecked illegal immigration, and the endless wars. He won easily on all of those key points. Dick Cheney and the warmonger generals' endorsements of Harris were manna from heaven for Trump's campaign. The unceasing lawfare was way over the top and helped him, as well; especially with libertarian independents. He didn't have to spend a dime for those huge campaign contributions.
I cant wait to see the Epstein list!! Lotta billionares are scared shitless now! Bye bye Bill Gates!! God Bless the USA!!!!
Go Trumpsters
All hail to the dufuss-in-chief. Now I can back to saving the dogs and cats from immigrants.
God is the only one that knows who is good
Nobody is holding you hostage. You can leave with the celebrities
Voters should have the ability to re-elect candidates who do a good job. Why would an elected official strive to do a good job for the public if he knows he will loose the job anyway? I too thought term limits were a good idea until I thought it through. Keep the good ones and vote out the bad, and a free, fair, and honest press is needed to keep them honest.
I'm grateful today to live in the USA. I'm grateful for our right of free speech and our election process. I'm hopeful we can all move forward from this hatred and make ourselves and our country better. Time to heal and work together
One of the most terrible persons on this earth could be that sonny women on the view. She thinks her shit does not stink. She is lower than whale shit at the bottom of the sea.
The (now) obvious BALLOT FRAUD in 2020 is being discussed all across America. Thank goodness! Permanent changes must be made so that can never be possible again in America. Do your job Congress.
The most important think that Trump needs to do:
Replace the older Supreme Justices. If he does that, the country is set for their lifetime to be made in his image.
Imagine casting a vote that aligns you with power you’ll never truly hold. White women especially—you’ve chosen privilege over your own rights and the rights of those within your marginalized communities.
Hmm, me thinks you are calling the Trump base stupid? how about deplorable? or better yet, garbage? ;) Ask Hillary AND Kamala about the results of thinking that Trump supporters are stupid, and clueless regarding policies. If Harris had viable policies, and not word salads, she might have had a better chance....... MIGHT!
Some things will take time, but you can bet the border crossings will stop. Not slow down like Biden/Harris tried to pull at the last minute. THIS WILL BE A FULL STOP. I foresee the Israel/Gaza being fixed quickly. Curious on Ukraine talks.... Putin isn't exactly winning, but can you imagine the savings if we do not have Ukraine and Israel to back? No revenge planned...lol. Believe me, it was never his intention AND the fact that he won/ Senate/House is punishment enough for that crew. Tariffs are meant to promote USA mfg. School choice is something ALL should be in favor of, but hey you want subpar, you can choose it. Men in womens' sport... as Joe said "Come on man"..... common sense to be done with this.
Apparently you missed the coalition that elected him. Hispanic, black Jews. There was a county in Texas 90% Hispanic landslide for Trump.
I got tired of this blog, too. Too much censorship, too much name calling, etc., etc. The censorship did ease up recently, though.
Just stuck around long enough to get through this election cycle. Better ways to spend my time now.
If there was an usually large number of persons registered at the Banana Factory, the County should have planned in advance and set up one set of workers for A to M, and another set of workers for N to Z, with two sets of voting machines. Or, they could have divided it into two precincts that voted at the same location, which has become common. More of the persons in line should also have been allowed into the building, which could have provided bathroom access to them.
I will agree to disagree. Voters get lazy too, and just click a name. Joe Biden has been in politics for 50 years. Do you think he has been productive all of that time? Yet, people keep clicking the familiar. There are alot of benefits to being in politics, fresh blood is needed vs dead wood.
As a moderate Democrat who voted for Harris, I have to admit that our party once again created a Trump presidency. We ran a very far left candidate who did not compete in a primary, Harris was very weak on public safety/ immigration and tried to use abortion rights as her primary campaign strategy. Her claims to lower the prices of groceries and housing were laughable, who could do that??? Her policies did not appeal to a national electorate and we even lost a lot of voters in some of our traditional strong states (Illinois, New Jersey and New York). I really truly hope the Democrats veer back towards the center in the coming years to avoid losing national elections.
Trump
Of course, I am disappointed to see that a fascist has been elected President, but I do respect the will of the American people. I hope our Constitution is strong enough to keep him in check.
As a Democrat, I'd agree that my party needs to do some soul-searching. It was at one time the party of the working class, but it has strayed since Clinton got NAFTA thru Congress.
Illegal immigration and deportations were absolute winning issues - especially with blacks and Hispanics, who like all good Americans, DESPISE line jumpers. Look at a supermarket or ticket line or amusement park. People across the spectrum HATE line jumpers. Biological men smacking women around in sports is right up there, too.
9:58, He is a racist. He is a misogynist. He is a Nazi. He is an elitist. But he's quite the confidence man, too, and has managed to fool the American electorate. They will wake up, I am sure.
"And we have a senator who doesn’t live in PA ..."
Oh stop it. Democrats long ago neutralized the carpetbagger issue with Robert Kennedy and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Read political history and cope harder.
@8:18 so let me see if I have this right, this supposed God you speak of helped save Trump's life but he wasn't responsible and couldn't have stopped him from getting shot in the first place? I love how people think that God somehow saved Trump and it's even funnier that naïve people actually think Trump is in the least bit religious.
It's 'their' heads genius. Obviously you're just another uneducated Trump supporter
