Former President Donald Trump declared victory after receiving 292 electoral votes, exceeding the 270 needed to secure a win in the battle for the White House against Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. A high turnout in many areas caused many voters to stand in line for more than three hours at polling places. Both Republicans and Democrats saw the high turnout as good sign for their candidates , but end the end the public spoke, handing former President Trump a decisive victory. The Republican Party also secured a majority of seats in the Senate, and while ballots for some Congressional races in swing states continue to be counted, a Republican majority is predicted in the House of Representatives.

Vice President Kamala Harris called former President Donald Trump early Wednesday morning to concede after supporters stayed up all night watching election returns, hoping that the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, might give the Vice President a fighting chance at victory. However, once Republican victories were declared in those states, there was no way, even with Arizona and Nevada still undeclared, for Harris to garner enough Electoral votes for a win. Some say perhaps President Biden should have exited the race earlier to give Harris more time to build momentum for her campaign. Others say that certain issues such as the Democratic Party's position on the war in Gaza had a negative impact. File Photo/ON AIR Daily News
After months of name calling and accusations, the fight for the White House is finally over - or is it? Some are devastated over the loss of Vice President Harris, others are rejoicing over the victory of former President Donald Trump. Still others are saying that the nation needed a better choice, because neither candidate was adequate. What happened Election Day and where do we go from here?

In a press conference Friday, November 1, 2024 organized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) Jewish, Muslim and Community leaders called for the removal of Illinois Senator Sara Feigenholtz (6th District) from Committee Leadership and her resignation from the Illinois Senate after she posted remarks on social media seen as anti-Islamic, insulting and inflammatory, which members of CAIR say could encourage acts of violence against Muslims.
Ahmed Rehab, Executive Director of the Council on American Islamic Relations - Chicago (CAIR - Chicago) stated that the statements by Illinois Senator Sara Feigenholtz were some of the most extreme he had ever heard from a public official and could incite hate crimes against Muslim such as .the recent murder of a 6 -year old Palestinian American in Illinois.
"We call on her to apologize and resign from office," he said. CAIR is also calling on Illinois Senate President Don Harmon to remove her from committee leadership positions.
Dilara Sayeed, President of the Muslim Civic Coalition said, "We have lost complete trust and faith" in the leadership of Sen. Sara Feigenholtz, adding that her remarks could put her Muslim constituents "in harms way" of hate crimes.
"Her actions may be putting our city's residents in danger," she said.
Marty Levin, of Jewish Voices For Peace-Chicago quoted,"What is hateful to you do not do unto others," which he said comes from the Jewish tradition. He noted that his mother fled Russia to escape genocide.
"Words do matter. This is a time when we must hold all of us accountable and hold our elected officials to a higher standard."
"Sen.Sara Feigenholtz words and actions were not words of political disagreement. They were words that are hateful."

This documentary explores the tactics used to suppress the vote and the efforts being made to combat these injustices.
This film, directed by Greg Palast and David Ambrose and narrated by Rosario Dawson, shines a light on the critical issue of voter suppression in America.
Voting laws have changed dramatically since 2020. States have made the rules that govern the elecrtions either tighter or looser, dependng on what party has been in charge. This could effect the outcome in the swing states.

Independent candidate for President Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced that he is “suspending” his campaign in states where he would merely be a “spoiler” and is throwing his support behind Republican candidate Donald J. Trump.
Here is yet another unexpected twist in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: controversial independent candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced Friday August 23rd that he is “suspending“ his campaign and throwing his support behind Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. This announcement, coming on the heels of an electrifying Democratic National Convention, presupposes that Robert Kennedy Jr’s followers will agree with his choice and follow his lead. But what if they don’t? And what is the real story behind this announcement?
