Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888. Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.

✨Little reminder that Aontu exists because Peadar Tóibín resigned from Sinn Fein because of its support for Repeal. They want to seriously curtail women’s access to abortion, and would overturn repeal if they could.✨
