Trump secures the largest popular vote count by a Republican in history

President-elect Donald Trump has achieved a record-breaking popular vote count for a Republican candidate in the 2024 election, according to projections, NY Post reported.

As of Monday morning, Trump had secured 74.83 million popular votes, surpassing his previous record of 74.22 million votes from the 2020 election, as reported by the Associated Press.

Currently, Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris, who received 70.9 million votes, though numerous votes remain uncounted, including those from California, where only 66% of ballots have been counted so far. Votes are also outstanding in states like Alaska, Arizona, Maryland, Oregon, and Utah, with an estimated 5 million votes left to be processed.

Republicans haven’t captured the popular vote in a presidential race since 2004, when President George W. Bush received 62 million votes. For perspective, in 1984, Ronald Reagan won 54 million votes in his landslide victory, when the U.S. population was 100 million fewer than today.

Despite Trump’s significant count, President Biden still holds the record for the most popular votes in U.S. history, with 81.3 million votes in 2020.

In addition to his popular vote count, Trump has won all seven battleground states, securing an Electoral College victory of 312 to 226 — the largest win since President Barack Obama’s 332 to 206 margin in 2012.

For comparison, Trump won the 2016 Electoral College vote 304 to 227, while Biden took it in 2020 with a 306 to 232 margin.

On January 20, 2025, 78-year-old Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president, becoming the first since Grover Cleveland in the 1890s to serve two nonconsecutive terms.

As he prepares for his second term, Trump is assembling his administration. He announced Saturday that he would not be reinstating former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The president-elect is scheduled to meet with President Biden at the White House this Wednesday.

    Navy’s Indo-Pacific Commander Warns Ukraine Aid Is Draining US Missile Stocks

    A top US Navy admiral has warned this week that the recent move of Washington to give advanced long-range weapons to Ukraine is depleting US missile stocks.

    Adm. Sam Paparo, Commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, told a Brookings Institution audience earlier this week that earlier in the war the US was shipping less valuable weaponry to Ukraine, which didn’t deeply impact readiness for big global threats like China. More advanced defense tech is currently being shipped, and this presents a serious problem for the United States’ long-term defense needs.

    “But now with some of the Patriots that have been employed, some of the air-to-air missiles that have been employed, it’s now eating into stocks,” Paparo said.

    “And to say otherwise would be dishonest,” the naval commander continued. Given he’s in charge of the Pacific region, he underscored that this could weaken America’s defense posture in the region for the long term, at a moment Beijing is vying for military primacy.

    Paparo emphasized that “none” of these weapons “are preserved for any particular theater, but none can move with alacrity to any theater.”

    “Inherently, it imposes costs on the readiness of America to respond in the Indo-Pacific region, which is the most stressing theater for the quantity and quality of munitions because the [China] is the most capable potential adversary in the world,” he continued, as cited in Washington Times report Friday.

    He called for the depleted weaponry to be restored “and then some” – and that this must be an urgent priority.

    Among the missile systems being given by the Biden administration to Kiev are Patriot air defense batteries, and the Army’s ATACMS.

    European countries have also suffered the same problem of depleted domestic stockpiles. Ukraine’s Western backers are at the same time trying to assist Kiev in jump-starting and expanding its own defense manufacturing sector.
