President-Elect Trump’s Victory Amidst Controversy
President-elect Donald Trump has officially secured his win after Texas electors granted him their state’s 40 electoral votes. This victory follows Trump’s successful campaign on November 5, and without delay, the win was officially recognized as presidential electors convened throughout the U.S. The required 270 electoral votes to claim victory in the Electoral College was topped by Trump’s impressive 312 votes, contrasting with Vice President Kamala Harris’s 226.
Trump’s New York Hush Money Conviction Persists
Trump’s recent legal battle challenging his New York hush money conviction met with failure as the presiding judge declined his attorneys’ claim that “presidential immunity” protects him. There is a likelihood that Trump will enter the White House as a convicted felon, but the reluctance amongst the justice to set a sentencing date leaves the next steps uncertain.

President-elect Trump’s relationship with the press has been highlighted in recent exchanges with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle.

Ruhle also contrasted the accessibility of Trump to the press to that of President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, who, in her view, are almost unreachable due to barriers raised by their staff.
TikTok and Trump: An Unexpected Accord
