I had tabs open on my PC's browser for several news websites, Fox, CNN, NYT, Newsmax, Rantingly, Yahoo News, CNBC, USAToday and one of the election betting websites.

I kept cycling through the sites and around 2 AM I came back to Fox.

The map of the US on Fox's front page showed "270" for electoral votes for the first time. I refreshed it to make sure it was current and got the same image.

That was my first clue that DJT had won, although I then went through all of the other sites and none of them showed 270 EVs for Trump.

It was a full 20-25 minutes before another site put Pres Trump over the magic EV number and I believe that was NewsMax.

When John King started dropping hints around 930 pm

I think it was in Detroit or somewhere up there, some numbers were coming back 3 to 5 points off from Biden numbers

"if that continues, that will not bode well for Harris"

When Charlie Kirk had boots on the ground showing the exact numbers of what was being reported live. He had results before the news channels which was awesome. His analytical geniuses were killing it.

When I was watching CNN and they broke to say there were 100k votes outstanding…and the beautiful Orange Bastard was ahead by 116k and in live coverage both of the men looked like they just saw their puppy get ran over in the driveway.

When I saw we got Miami-Dade county in FL for the first time in forever, I felt really good.

But I knew we won when it was clear we were getting NC and GA. Basically when they were saying "Trump is ahead by 150k in GA but there are 200k left to count".

At that point it was clear NC and GA were ours for sure, VA was in play, and we were overperforming in the entire blue wall.

Game....blouses!

When the MSNBC hosts started to act worried… probably around 10. I started to get excited but knew we had such a long way to go.

When they kept putting off updating the numbers of states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina for a couple hours. That’s when I knew that they knew.

Posted by themunch on 11/5/24 at 8:56 pm Ga has 78% reported and still not calling it with a insurmountable lead.......
Election 2024

He was going to win Ga and they kept holding off on calling it gave me the thoughts he was going to win it all. They could not stop it.

99% sure when the teamsters poll was released showing that the members preferred Trump.

Confirmation was when the first round of exit polls backed up earlier polls showing the dissatisfaction the electorate had in the direction of the country.

There were so many signs all along that this could be a big win if everything was on the up and up.

Biggest tell for me was NC being called so quickly which was followed by the big lead in GA. Combined with Harris’ underperformance.
