"An exceptionally brilliant portrait of how politics pulled America, kicking and screaming, into 2025 by one of the best, toughest and non-partisan reporters the United States is so very fortunate to have."

10 YEARS AGO TODAY, President-Elect Trump visited the White House after winning the 2016 Presidential Election…
Upon arrival, I captured this never seen before video in the Diplomatic Reception Room, before the usher made me put my iPhone away.
Thanks for taking me on this “JOURNEY” — President Trump!
📲🎥NOVEMBER 10, 2016🇺🇸🦅
The President of the United States called into CSPAN at 9:10pm tonight

President Trump is the most transformative political leader in American History — and he has single-handedly saved America from those who would destroy it.
It has been the privilege of my lifetime to have served on his team from Day One, and I am honored beyond words to serve as his White House Chief of Staff.
I want to thank the incomparable Susie Wiles for her years of devoted service to the President and the Country, and for her friendship.
The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic.

.@PeteHegseth, cabinet secretaries shouldn't be wasting taxpayer dollars on campaign style videos. Kristi Noem learned that the hard way.
This is about you: the incompetence you’ve displayed, the bad advice you’ve given to president, and your shameful and embarassing episodes from firing our top generals to texting war plans to reporters.
“The country has had enough.”
Trump told me this morning that he has not spoken to Schumer or Jeffries since the election, but:
“I think we can get along. it's good for the country if we do. The country has had enough.”
He says he has spoken to other Democrats since the election:
“There are others - not them - but people, other democrats, who have been calling. I have friends over there."
Trump told me this morning he intends to keep Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary:
“I have every intention to keep him.”
Trump acknowledged receiving calls from people unhappy with Hegseth, but said, “I get these calls, you know, about him. I don't understand why.”
He also acknowledged it would be easier to confirm a new Defense Secretary before the Democrats take over the Senate in January.

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

FOX: Why did you and Paxton both choose not to debate your opponents? You're giving me lots of reasons why you think Texans shouldn't support her. Why didn't do you that on-stage?
ABBOTT: What voters really want, they want to see me show up in person in their community.
FOX: Why not do both???

ABC News Chief Washington correspondent @jonkarl and Chief Business Correspondent @RebeccaJarvis break down the deep-red states in play this Election Day, including Texas, Kansas, Alaska, Iowa and Ohio, all states President Trump won in each of his three presidential campaigns.
Just spoke to @SenSchumer as he voted in Brooklyn.
He says he is “nauseously optimistic” Democrats will prevail.
And how will they deal with Trump?
“We're going to fight Trump tooth and nail and focus on the issues no matter what he does."

"Like the human being, grass has a life also," Trump said. "The grass in front of the White House was a very inferior grass for many, many years, and now it’s beautiful."
