Some Democrats would have won their Senate races even without any Election Day votes. For example, in North Carolina, Roy Cooper received 1,728,000+ early in-person votes. Republican Michael Whaley received 1,643,000 votes TOTAL cnn.com/2026/11/05/politics/…

I know you’re frustrated. Billionaires, corporations and Washington politicians are getting rich off your pain. Some courage and common sense in Washington can make life better for everyone.

These claims should have been settled long ago. Nobody should be extorted for their votes, least of all our veterans who have sacrificed for this country. Interested to see if @WhatleyNC thinks the same.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Jeffery Smith of Fayetteville said he voted for Trump in 2024, but he is dissatisfied with the president’s performance. He stood in line for more than an hour to vote for @RoyCooperNC. “I want change. I’m craving change,” he said, citing high gas prices and the ongoing Iran war.
