In the end, most voters did want to go back. Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats pounded away at a message of turning the page on former President Donald Trump and his brand of politics, promoting former aides who questioned his commitment to democracy and producing their own plans to combat things like price gouging and high home costs. Wednesday morning, though, they were reckoning with a stunning sweep by Trump, who as the now-president-elect, appeared set for a swing-state sweep and left Democrats wondering how it all went so wrong. “Complete, unmitigated disaster,” Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis said when asked about the results. “That was a wholesale repudiation of the Democratic message, the Democratic strategy, Harris’ candidacy. There is no way to sugarcoat what an abject disaster this was.”

Trump election victory cheers up cryptocurrency proponents in China

“Trump’s pro-crypto stance is expected not only to invigorate the US virtual-asset industry, but also to encourage Hong Kong to further relax its own virtual-asset policies in its quest to become a global Web3 hub,” said Livio Weng , chief executive of Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency trading platform HashKey Exchange . “This shift could also positively influence regulatory attitudes toward virtual assets in mainland China,” he added. That reflects the enthusiasm of many Mandarin-speaking crypto-focused users on Elon Musk ’s X , as they posted their congratulations to Trump on the social-media platform formerly known as Twitter, while also extolling a new all-time high reached by bitcoin on Wednesday, with some expressing good days ahead for the industry.

Former President Donald Trump is set to return to the White House after winning Tuesday night’s election. As of Wednesday morning, Trump surpassed the 270 electoral votes need to secure the presidency, and that could mean major changes to the health care landscape. During his campaign, Trump vowed to make the Affordable Care Act “better” and to protect “women.” He also suggested that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would shape the public health agenda of his administration. This is what a second Trump term would mean for health care policies including health insurance and reproductive rights.
