'Marty Walsh acknowledged in an interview that the administration’s messaging too often “just didn’t resonate with people.” But he warned that those shortcomings were not tied to Biden; rather, the party as a whole hasn’t figured out how to effectively reach and educate voters.'

To our children and grandchildren, I’m so sorry we couldn’t turn back the hate at this moment. But we can’t give up on the idea of America. In this country, we accept the results of elections, we move on and we work. Choose light over darkness, hope over fear, love over hate, unity over division. 🇺🇸

Donald Trump has won the presidency. Enough of the country has chosen to re-elect a convicted felon who denied our elections and denigrated entire swaths of our people. We can’t erase what we’ve embraced as a nation today. I pray for our country and the world.

huge problem for the GOP turnout plan: none of the men are willing to ask for directions
If you know any men who haven’t voted, get them to the polls.

As a Massachusetts resident, I’m concerned about the ongoing issue at the southern border. I’m voting for whoever strengthens it and keeps the Connecticut drivers OUT

Trump would be well advised to declare victory no later than 6:55 pm Eastern.

If Harris wins tonight, liberals need to extend an olive branch to conservatives. If Trump wins, then liberals must understand that democracy is dead and that we are now ruled by a junta of Catholic convert closet cases and South African ketamine addicts.

In last 4 elections Dems won 51% of the vote, Rs 46.5%. Been our best showing over 4 Presidential elections since FDR's 4 elections. I always believed 2024 was an uphill climb for Trump, as MAGA is a failed politics and he ran towards it rather than running away from it. 5/

Expect excuses like this if Trump loses, just like we heard “Trump woulda won if not for the pandemic.” But each became liabilities precisely because of the character and competence of the candidate.
A week ago, Trump would have won this thing outright. Then some kid decided Tony Hinchcliffe could kick off the final week for the campaign and threw off the message. I still think he wins, but less sure than before Madison Square Garden. It won't be stolen if he loses.

Using protection with women, sometimes. Protecting women? Nah
"He will be a protector of women, and it's why I'm voting for him." @megynkelly makes the case for Trump. | @dezward01 trib.al/u8uzpQZ

It’s not a secret that I would like to see Trump lose. I realize that. However, I’d like to remind you of a moment that really stood out in the campaign, and why I think that alone is reason to abstain or vote for Trump’s opposition.
