It was the calling of Wisconsin that put him over the numerical line, chez NYT:
ADDED: I saw — at 6:03 Eastern — that the NYT called it at 6:03 because my son Chris texted me the image of that map above. It was funny that I — who'd been clicking around — got the NYT news from Chris, because last night he texted me that he was going to look away from the reporting of the returns. Going off to read last night, he said: "I predict I will find out the outcome of the election even if I try to avoid it."

AP called Wisconsin and the election for Trump about 30 minutes ago. He appears to be ahead in NV, MI, and AZ as well. I'm guessing they got the word from the Harris campaign that the post-election lawfare will be minimal.
How’s that lawfare workin out for ya?
Wisconsin did it. Thank you, all.
Watching the post-mortems on MSNBC. Delicious.
Thank you Wisconsin. Trump swept the Blue Wall. He took the popular vote. He proved that in fact you cannot beat someone running a "somebody" at least not when times are dire. Godspeed 47!
Are they still looking for paths to victory in PA? LOL.
I love the balanced, reconciliatory tone the NYT is taking with its front page links:
TRUMP STORMS BACK
Stunning Return to Power After Dark and Defiant Campaign
His Win Opens a New Era of Uncertainty for the Nation
* Donald Trump played on fears of immigrants and economic anxieties to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.
* He triumphed despite a criminal conviction, indictments, an assassin’s bullet, accusations of authoritarianism and an unprecedented switch of his opponent.
Pariah, Felon, President-Elect: How Trump Fought His Way Back to Power
America Hires a Strongman
This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip. Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history.

America Makes a Perilous Choice
How American democracy can endure through a second Trump presidency.
"We’re all living in the manosphere now."
It was the "unfettered right to abortion" vs "please don't send me to get killed in a war" election.
Not a word about what Harris may or may not have done that led to this outcome. It's all on Trump.
The Most Reverend Al Sharpton just pronounced on MSNBC that Trump won because America is sexist and racist.
You go with that, brother.
Scarborough correctly points out that the Democratic Party and their policies are disconnected from the American people.
Where's that been for the last few years?
It wasn't just Trump that dodged a bullet this year - the whole world did!
On the one hand, it's pretty funny, on the other, this a whole edition of a major newspaper that boils down to "snipers wanted." Now they are going to have to slant their news to make all of these predictions appear true, or they are going to become ridiculous.
Trump won outside the margin of fraud. Apparently winning the popular vote is a nice touch. That should tone down the anti-electoral college rhetoric for awhile.
Could this be the year when the mainstream media finally lost its ability to influence a majority of Americans? And when podcasters like Rogan and platforms like Musk’s X became the dominant news model?
And can we finally put pollsters and celebrities out to pasture?
What an amazing turn of events. I honestly believe that Trump is the greatest political figure of my life time. Even surpassing Reagan. Godspeed to the man and his 2nd presidency.
What a glorious victory! Thanks to the electorate for seeing through the lies, hoaxes, propaganda and lawfare.
I had other things going on today, but I know now I should've saved every post - especially the one where the sanctimonious school marm demanded we look into our souls - upon Trump's inevitable loss.
She's since deleted EVERY comment.
Every. One.
We all saw it, Inga.
You claim your hobby is politics and current events.
May I suggest a new one? Maybe Arts and Crafts time during your stay at Winnebago?
The mood at NYT is I for one welcome our new insect overlords...I hope they are frightened. I hope they have reason to. I'd like to see their credentials pulled as we hand them the video and print receipts...
Such a dilemma for media - must disparage Trump but need him bigly for their clicks.
I just walked outside to observe the sky brightening (and to put out the recycle bin). I am hundreds of miles from Metro DC but I thought I could smell the burn barrels and bleach bit from here.
This morning I am not in a forgiving mood.
I am hopeful the slow deliberate plodding of an effective government roots out the evil that is sulking this morning, though some of them are fleeing like Diddy has them on film. I am hopeful the political prisoners Democrats incarcerated will be freed before the inaugural lunch. I am willing to accept the chaos and danger of addressing the humanitarian mess the previous administration bestowed upon us at our expense.
I will gloat a bit at the losers this time. I will be grateful for the brave Americans who never wavered in the face of evil, with special recognition to those who switched sides..
God be praised!
I credit Meade for bringing Wisconsin home for Trump. Just think where we would be if Althouse didn’t bring Meade home.
Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history
I'm rehajm and I approve this message. It won't save the guilty but it is a benevolent authoritarian style of governance, not the authoritarian menace the cartoon villains have been coking behind the scenes...
If Inga was able to delete every comment, it kind of suggests that she was an operative with specialized software, after all.
two words: Grover Clevland!
I am SO ENJOYING the lamentation of their women, aka the comments section to Bret Stephen's column in the NYT. Zippidy doo dah!
Thank God.
If Inga was able to delete every comment, it kind of suggests that she was an operative with specialized software, after all.
Nope. I've gone back and deleted duplicates. It's author delete.
She spent at least 30 minutes - going through every thread - deleting every foolish, over-confident comment.
It's a chickenshit move, but can you blame her?
Somebody go check on Inga. She may be trying to harm herself. Or harm Trump.
I want to know where the 81 million votes for Biden went. Did all those voters die.........again?
She did? That was a coward move. She won't be back for awhile.
Sure, but it sounds like a royal PIA. Software would make it far easier. And she sure seemed to be following an official playbook. She made a lot of comments.
...if you're puzzling over the electoral map this morning keep in mind there is a strong correlation between the places that flipped and the places the Democrats have been imbedding their human pawns for the upcoming census...
I see we are answering the question that should have been but was never asked: Will Kamala accept the results of the election?
Now we get to see how much Trump learned from his first POTUS win to today. Does he go in with a flame-thrower and REALLY clean house or does he listen to the usual crowd of insiders, hanger-ons, and grifters? I know what I am hoping for but only time will tell.
What does whoever the current President is think about the peaceful transition of power?
Straighten Up and Fly Right!

Deleting her comments also enables her to deny saying what she has said. I've seen it.
After Pennsylvania, all Trump needed was pretty-much sure-thing Alaska, so there's that. Wisconsin is gravy.
Hey GOPe? Smell that smell? Smells like.... victory." You wouldn't be tasting it right now but for Donald John Trump.
It's not over until the Scat Lady concedes.
LOL. Ok, I'm done.
Sippican, one of Althouse's best early commenters, somehow deleted years of comments for an unknown reason. Maybe he was going into politics.
I don't expect that until 6 January 2025 (maybe I'll be surprised) but given the media cooperation with Harris I think it's significantly they aren't maintaining the fiction she has a path to 270.
Poor Inag. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
This election was always about the Late, Great Hannibal Lecter.
Senator Blutarsky...
Historic election; Trump pulls off a rare split term, Biden saves Jimmy Carter from going down as the worst President ever and Hillary Clinton can take some small comfort in the fact that she's now no longer the worst Democrat candidate in history.
Aren't you a Republican, Rich? Doesn't victory feel good? I know that you only disliked Trump because you were convinced he was going to cause Republicans to be repudiated and put out of power for a generation, or something like that? Or is that line of BS of yours "no longer operative."
Enjoy the celebration but lets keep it short. There' work to be done if we are to get the country back on the right track. Close the boarder, drill baby drill, end the wars, deport the criminals, in person voting, voter ID, paper ballots, no sanctuary states or cities. Time to take out the trash. Let's GO!
Prayers answered. Hope justified as a life choice.
can someone (Inga? Mark? Lonejustice?) answer me Two questions?
1) WHY did the democrats oust Biden?
2) WHY did they replace Biden with Kammy?
"It turns out that Americans really do not like “Green New Deal”–induced inflation, COVID lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, open borders, skyrocketing violent crime, “woke” sermonizing, child mutilation, “transgender” madness, censorship, political persecution, bungled military withdrawals, or the prospect of nuclear war in Europe and the Middle East."

Nurse Wretched will be back as soon as the new DNC talking points are out.
So, so very happy this morning.
They're looking for a few good snipers. Yes. Democrats aren't done trying to murder Donald Trump.
Apparently, the NYTimes doesn't understand that women like strong men. There's too much flouride in their water and not enough testosterone in their men.
I'm sexist and (according to them) racist. I will NEVER vote for a President of the United States who hails from Kenya or India.
Or a woman, unless Margaret Thatcher somehow comes back to life.
Joe said that? Wow
I'm just glad Jimmy Carter lived long enough to see TWO Trump Presidencies.
He should just die already.
Like I said, this is going to give me gout:
Bill Kristol@BillKristol 13h
Looking at partial returns from a few counties in Indiana, take with as many grains of salt as you wish, but I see Harris consistently running a point or two ahead of Biden 2020.
Biden got 81 million votes (lol). Kamala was blowing every American in sight and only got 66 million.
Democrats can't win unless they have the entire country locked in their houses.
Lmao, Montana Republicans never had it so good. Nearly all swept into office on Trump's coattails. Ten years ago they couldn't buy a vote. What'll happen when he's not on the ballot?
I woke up this morning happy, nay, delighted, to have been wrong about the efficacy of the Dem's mail-in ballot harvesting. I'm out $100, and couldn't be happier with the results of my bet on Harris.
I-nag - kind of a red wave. LOL.
She took all of her comments and packed them up in her little carpet bag, put it in the basket of her bicycle, and was last seen peddling off into a stormy sky, with the tail of a cute little squirrel coming out of a handlebar grip.
The media conceded. Hillary's glass ceiling remains for sale.
It's pretty funny that Inga went through and deleted all of her comments, but I also consider it a small act of archive vandalism. She so frequently commented that a large percentage of comment sections reference what she said, and now those conversations are hard to understand forever.
When Althouse links past posts, I like to flit through the comments—it's often more interesting than the comments of the present, because it puts me back in the mindspace of those times and conversations, which are less vivid in my mind now.
Backfired like all Acme products.
Biden = 81 Million Votes Harris = 63 Million Votes as of this morning. Where do we think the 18 million votes went? Fraud. They never really existed.
2020 Trump 74 Million - 2024 71 Million - Consistent.
I love Jonathan Capehart's amazement that so many people supported a man who was impeached twice and inducted twice. Don't they understand that being accused proved he was guilty???
It's going to be interesting, watching all the nervous fidgeting as Trump wanders in with a bright shiny flashlight, and demands the keys to the new Ministry of Truth institutions around the country. Watch for the screams of terror about censorship and conservative government overreach into the sacred territory of the beloved First Amendment.
They still don’t get it. This was an epic fail of legacy media to cover the news. While they were focused on providing a safe space for their snowflake readers, the story of this race went largely unexamined. They were affirming the narrative, day in, day out, and continue to do so. They have no clue what voters were going through. No clue what the issues were, because they didn’t cover any issues.
RIP- once again.
Watching the news this morning, and discovered that Trump actually improved his percentage of Wisconsin and Michigan in 2020 and again in 2024. Odd that he still lost both in 2020 to Sleepy Joe.
Also, this election cycle, less people identified as democrats than as independents. Dems were only 32% of the electorate.
Kristol is a moron. You can only look at counties that have finished a count and all of those last night showed her consistently running 2-3 points behind Biden's margin.
This victory belongs to Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, Judge Engoron, and the local prosecutors who orchestrated the most transparently political show trials in American history.
71 million so far - still a few states to be counted.
Could this be the year when the mainstream media finally lost its ability to influence a majority of Americans? And when podcasters like Rogan and platforms like Musk’s X became the dominant news model?
Beyond all doubt. If you add the viewership of all the networks to the readership of the five biggest newspapers, Joe Rogan's audience beats them handily.
And citizen-journalists posting on X, backed up by the marvelous Community Notes feature, are now the definitive source of news for billions of people, easily circumventing the liars and censors and propagandists of government and the news media.
The Harris candidacy was based on a massive denial of civil rights - the Democrats' override of 15 million votes in the primaries. Anyone who ratified that denial - donated to her campaign, put out a lawn sign, knocked on doors - should face consequences.
Did Ingbat really delete all of her pre-election comments? If so, that is fucking hilarious!
Not only won the electoral vote but also the popular vote (even erasing the millions of illegals voting openly in California)! A total repudiation of the Democrats and a powerful mandate to Make America Great Again.
Now free ALL the J6 political prisoners and Godspeed!
Mainstream media, the big city newspapers and the television channel news programs, will either resume neutral reporting, or be obsolete within the year. Rogan is the new kingmaker.
The deletions of her history in these pages feels a little bit like 1984, doesn’t it? That’s exactly where the Dems are trying to take us.
Trump, in every sense of the word, won.
I’m sorry, that is the end of the story. Whatever story comes right after it is up to others to write.
But I’m not here to sugarcoat anything for you.
He will go to his grave a massive winner. That is not a value judgement.
Now I'm eagerly awaiting the delicious spectacle of watching which states that previously passed the law to convert ALL their electoral votes to whichever candidate won the popular vote. Please, God, let one of them be California.
I hope the Bidens can find it in their hearts to allow Mrs Harris to accede to the presidency for about a week in January. This would have the additional grace of irritating Mrs Clinton and Mr and Mrs Obama.
I don't think Biden is going to do that if Harris really was part of the cabal that shoved him aside. Now, if she wasn't involved, he might do it.
"She's since deleted EVERY comment.
Every. One."
You're kidding? How much work must that have been?
Iowa, Iowa, Iowa! joins Russia, Russia, Russia!
Thanks for that. Saves time.
America Hating Inga's deletion of her comments confirms what I suspected - somewhere this year our original shriveled bint sold her identity here to a Dem social media machine who then had paid operatives posting as "Inga".
Maybe the original Inga will come back and enlighten us with her foolish comments some more. I hope not. Good riddance to trash.
-- Bette Midler threatens to drink Drano if Donald Trump wins Election 2024 --
Bottoms up!
Nothing I've read makes me think that KH is clever enough to have been a 'mastermind' of the putative cabal; a patsy only, sure. Although on reflection I don't see how even in that case the Bidens would feel it to be in their interest to 'reward' her unless Mrs Clinton ('the first woman president') really was the chief strategist of the coup (or if they believe this). In any event, it is much more pleasant to speculate about such things this morning than to be looking ahead to a Harris presidency.
It is and another one is Illinois. Baron Harkonen Pritzger is not a happy man.
I'm glad and frankly relieved Trump managed to win. I say "managed to win" because the margin was closer than expected. Pundits I follow were predicting more of a 2/3 Electoral College victory. The results show Harris had a real chance at winning won although it is hard to pin down why exactly she did not. The nation is disturbingly divided.
It was very sad to wake up this morning and see so many of my far left friends having complete meltdowns on social media.
It does prove one thing. They were right about the dangerous effects of misinformation and disinformation. What they didn't realize was that they were the real victims of it. They seriously believe that all the extreme, horrible things that they were told about Trump will now come true.
Where they were wrong was in thinking that the government and media companies should be the ultimate fact checkers. The government and the media actually led them down this dark path of irrationality. What might have saved them was to simply open their minds to other points of views and use logic and reason to determine the truth.
I would not be surprised to hear that some people actually commit suicide because of this election.
