All happened on Tuesday.
I had intended to vote early but found myself doing it on election day. The results weren't surprising although I didn't expect a particularly overwhelming victory. My gut said it would be a very close election and they'd be counting for days.
Vice President Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate, but then let's be fair she had a short time to get a campaign together. How she replaced President Joe Biden as a nominee in July is a story in and of itself. Perhaps that should be studied by future politicos. Hopefully neither the Republicans or the Democrats will never, ever do that again.
At the end of the day it appears no one was motivated to vote for the first woman of color as President. The Vice President just didn't make her case very well why Americans should vote for her.
As an aside Republicans regain Senate next year and thankfully there will be a change in leadership, Mitch McConnell already stated he's stepping down. It has become apparent that he had been suffering some serious health issues in recent years.
I'm not sure what the margin is in the US House though it appears Republicans will keep control. The margin of control had been thin due to removals and resignation. And also it seemed any Republican leader in the house seems under threat of removal with what happened to Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
This recent election is viewed as a mandate. Let's see what the 45th and future 47th President will be able to do in his next four years.

Also a political comeback, January 6, 2021 could've been a day that should've knocked the President out. And he was impeached not long after he left office. And then the court cases, Democrats liked to bring up that Trump was a convicted felon.
It didn't matter, my two cents if you leave him alone he may just go away. They couldn't and I think his base turned out because they believed Dems were going to use every tool they could to keep him from running again and winning.
I may also add these last four years weren't great years.
Now to see how Mr. Beat will look at this election.
