Proud of Kamala (and Tim)

I first want to mention my gratitude for veterans this Veterans Days and always. This election was quite a roller coaster, the likes of which I never experienced before. I believed Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, had a decent chance of winning — but I knew the election results would be almost 50/50 and that the winner would not win by much. Unfortunately, the result turned out to be disappointing for me (I was confident they could win) but yet not all that surprising since Donald Trump has a strange stranglehold over much of the American people. I know Trump might have done some good things for the economy, but I and many fellow Americans wanted to give Kamala a chance; she might have given us an even better economy for all we know!

While Harris-Walz did not win the so-called “swing states,” Trump-Vance did not win those states by a landslide. All of the swing states in this election — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — gave Harris-Walz almost or at least 48% of the vote. To summarize, Harris-Walz and other Democrats put forth a valiant and optimistic effort that helped to bring out the best in us, in contrast to the hatred, fearmongering, and falsehoods coming from the “other side.” Harris and Walz (and other Democrats) should be very proud of their campaign. It is worthwhile to note how Harris-Walz had relatively little time to prepare (since late July 2024) compared to Trump's team. They also conceded the election with grace, class, and wisdom, whereas Trump and his people disputed the 2020 election even in 2024. I immensely believe future generations will look back at this moment in history and will appreciate the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris — and how she inspired us to be better.

2020 Presidential Election Results — Alabama to California

Former Vice President Joseph Biden has been elected the next President of the United States starting on January 20th, 2021. According to the Associated Press (↗), Joe Biden received 81,281,888 votes (51.38%), while current President Donald Trump received 74,223,251 votes (46.91%). While the election occurred on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020, Joe Biden was officially announced the winner on November 7th. Delayed several hours by the notorious "mob" invasion on the U.S. Capitol building, every state's electoral votes were officially recited and announced through the evening and nighttime hours.

In the wee morning hours of January 7th, Joe Biden was officially announced the winner despite some Republican objections. Way too many Republican U.S. representatives — 139 to be exact — voted in favor of one or both objections to Biden's win in the states of Arizona and Pennsylvania. Due to the mob attack, some Republicans were planning to object earlier on January 6th but changed their mind and finally supported Biden's win. Returning back to the subject of this post, here are the 2020 Presidential Results from the states of Alabama to California in alphabetical order (more posts will follow in upcoming days):
