Here is how five key demographic groups voted in 2024 US Presidential poll

Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base. That finding comes from AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide that shows what issues mattered to voters in this election. Trump picked up a small but significant share of Black and Hispanic voters, and made narrow gains with men and women. As Trump chipped away at parts of Democrats' coalition, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't able to make enough of her own gains. Trump succeeded in locking down his traditionally older, white base of voters, and he slightly expanded his margins with other groups into a winning coalition. Here's how five key demographic groups voted, according to AP VoteCast. Most Trump voters were white, a trend that continued from 2020 Slightly more than 8 in 10 Trump voters in this election were white, roughly in line with 2020.

Donald Trump has vowed to shake some of democracy's pillars in US

American presidential elections are a moment when the nation holds up a mirror to look at itself. They are a reflection of values and dreams, of grievances and scores to be settled. The results say much about a country's character, future and core beliefs. On Tuesday, America looked into that mirror and more voters saw former president Donald Trump, delivering him a far-reaching victory in the most contested states. He won for many reasons. One of them was that a formidable number of Americans, from different angles, said the state of democracy was a prime concern. The candidate they chose had campaigned through a lens of darkness, calling the country garbage and his opponent stupid, a communist and the b-word. The mirror reflected not only a restive nation's discontent but childless cat ladies, false stories of pets devoured by Haitian immigrant neighbours, a sustained emphasis on calling things weird, and a sudden bout of Democratic joy" now crushed. The campaign will be remembe

Harris stepped up in difficult situation, led historic campaign: Joe Biden

President Joe Biden on Wednesday applauded Vice President Kamala Harris for leading a historic campaign under extraordinary circumstances. What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She's been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character, Biden said in a statement. Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what's possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans, he said. As I've said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America's story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she'll continue writing that story, he said. She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champi

Trump govt will maintain positive momentum in India-US ties, says USISPF

Congratulating president-elect Donald Trump on his stunning electoral victory, a top India centric American business advocacy group on Wednesday exuded confidence that the new administration will maintain the positive momentum in the India-US relationship. During his first administration, President Trump made the Indo-Pacific the preeminent focus for Washington's foreign policy, with the goal of securing a free and open Indo-Pacific, the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF) said in a statement. From that auspicious start, the relationship has continued to flourish with deepening partnership across critical and emerging technologies, clean energy, rebuilding supply chains, fortifying our defences and cementing people-to-people ties, the USISPF said. We are confident that the new Trump administration will maintain the positive momentum in this critical relationship to secure the greatest economic, financial, and national security gains for both countries, it said. We loo

I am proud of VP Kamala Harris, says Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna

After her worst defeat in electoral history, Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna on Wednesday said that he is proud of Vice President Kamala Harris and one day Americans will recognise her blazing a trail. Harris, as a Democratic presidential nominee, lost to her Republican rival and now president-elect Donald Trump during the November 5 general elections. Today, I want to say I am proud of Kamala Harris, Khanna, 48, said. Representing Silicon Valley in the US House of Representatives, Khanna was re-elected for a fifth consecutive term on Tuesday. He grew up in Pennsylvania. As a young kid growing up in Bucks County, I would never have imagined an African and Indian American woman would become the nominee and get 48 per cent in Pennsylvania. Progress is hard. But one day Americans will recognise her blazing a trail, Khanna said. Khanna maintained that the Democrats, who have lost the White House along with the Senate and the House of Representatives, would bounce back soon. In 1

America deserves badass commander-in-chief right now: Vivek Ramaswamy

Of the view that the comeback of president-elect Donald Trump is the American comeback, entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday said that the country deserves a "badass commander-in-chief" right now and that's exactly what it got. Trump, 78, not only won the November 5 presidential elections in both popular votes and electoral college votes but also got the Republican Party control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Here's the reason why Donald Trump won by the largest margin of any president in modern history. He's not an ideologue. He's not a policy wonk. He's an American badass. They tried to DQ him, jail him, kill him (twice). None of it worked. Our self-appointed betters' in the media misunderstood him, underestimated him, doubted him, Ramaswamy said on Wednesday. But not once during this campaign did Trump misunderstand, underestimate, or doubt himself. As everyone at Mar-a-Lago celebrated around him last night, I watched him unfazed, with full

Light of America's promise will always burn bright: Kamala Harris

Shortly after she conceded the presidential election to Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris said the light of America's promise will always burn bright and pledged to usher in a peaceful transition of power. In an emotional address to her supporters at her alma mater Howard University, Harris urged them to accept the results and that the fight to protect the ideals of the country will continue. My heart is full today full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve, she said. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright, she added. Harris said she spoke to President-elect Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I told Trump that we will help him and his team in their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transition of power, she said, adding, In our nation, we owe .

I concede election, but do not concede fight that fuelled campaign: Harris

Conceding her defeat in the elections to president-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday showed a combative mood by saying that she will not concede the fight that fuelled her presidential election campaign. While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign, Harris told thousands of her supporters at Howard University in Washington DC. This is a time to organise, to mobilise and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know, we can build together, Harris said in her remarks as she told her supporters that earlier in the day, she called Trump to congratulate him on his electoral victory. During the call, she said, she promised a peaceful transition of power. She noted that there is disappointment among her supporters. I get it, but we must accept the results of this election. I also told him that we will help him and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power, a fundamental princi

Republicans try for slim House majority as 3 races uncalled in Pennsylvania

Three races for the US House in Pennsylvania remained uncalled by The Associated Press on Wednesday, as vote counting continued and Republicans fought to keep their slim majority in the chamber. A House majority would give the GOP a full sweep of power in Congress alongside President-elect Donald Trump in the White House. In all three of Pennsylvania's uncalled races, the Republican candidate held a slight lead, with some votes still outstanding. One uncalled race was the contest in an Allentown-based district in eastern Pennsylvania, where three-term Democratic US Rep. Susan Wild conceded to Republican Ryan Mackenzie. Mackenzie is a member of the state House of Representatives. Democrats hold a slight registration advantage in the district, but its close political divide made Wild a perennial target of Republicans. Also uncalled was a race in a northeastern Pennsylvania district around Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, where six-term Democratic US Rep. Matt Cartwright was trying to fend

Donald Trump sowed doubts about voting until results showed him winning

President-elect Donald Trump and his Republican allies had spent months seeding doubt in the integrity of American voting systems and priming supporters to expect a 2024 election riddled with massive and inevitable fraud. The former president continued laying that groundwork even during a mostly smooth day of voting Tuesday, making unsubstantiated claims related to Philadelphia and Detroit and highlighting concerns about election operations in Milwaukee. Shortly before polls began closing, he took to his social media platform to announce, without providing details, A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. The declaration produced immediate denials from city leaders who said there was zero evidence of any wrongdoing. Yet Trump's grim warnings abruptly ended in the later hours of the evening as early returns began tipping in his favour. During his election night speech, the president-elect touted a magnificent victory as he claimed ownership for the favourable results and
