Manage episode 449761107 series 2847832
Today’s Headlines: A week after Election Day, Republicans hold 214 House seats with 16 races still uncalled, and Pennsylvania’s Senate race leaning toward Republican David McCormick, though ballots remain uncounted. In state elections, Democrats flipped the Kentucky Supreme Court and rejected mandatory prison labor in California. Trump’s second-term team is starting to take shape: Stephen Miller will be Deputy Chief of Staff, Lee Zeldin is set for the EPA, Elise Stefanik has been tapped for UN Ambassador, Mike Waltz is Trump’s choice for National Security Advisor, and Tom Homan will lead a large-scale deportation effort, boosting private prison stocks on the news. Bitcoin surged to a new high of $82,000, driven partly by Trump’s win. President Biden marked Veterans Day at Arlington, his last as president, while NYC Mayor Eric Adams asked for an earlier trial date to avoid overlapping with his re-election campaign.
