Party’s over: Trump takes fizz out of election night as embassies ditch soirees
quote:
U.S. election night 2024 promises to be a sober affair in Europe
Embassies from Brussels to London, Paris and Berlin have decided against holding their usual watch parties.
The reason? The Trump effect. Many officials are still smarting from the shock 2016 election, when Donald Trump unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton for the presidency — a political earthquake that left many top members of America’s diplomatic corps exposed as they absorbed the stunning election results in the presence of hundreds of journalists, foreign diplomats and officials who had been invited to election night parties.
“I don’t think there was appetite to watch another Trump victory,” said a senior diplomat based in Europe, adding that the 2016 embassy events had been “calamitous.”

The adults will be back in charge. No more the US paying for everything in Europe’s defense.

Just imagine how many people will be replaced in those embassies if Blumpf wins. They’re all going to be out on their arses

Maybe they aren't in a partying mood?
It must be stressful to all these ambassadors and staff knowing they are getting an R.O.F. and replaced with America first supporters in 10 weeks.
Here's to supporting their new futures after they learn to code.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in London said it “appreciates the long-standing energy and excitement around U.S. presidential elections which have been carried out over nearly 250 years of democracy,” but added that “election day does not end on election night. Time may be required to count votes and let the electoral process work.”
