The emotion was palpable as Kamala Harris began her speech by expressing that her heart was filled with gratitude and appreciation for the trust her supporters had placed in her, as well as determination and love for her country.

She acknowledged that the outcome of this election was not what she had hoped for or fought for, but added that the light of America’s promise will continue to shine as long as we never give up and keep fighting.

To applause and tears from the crowd, Kamala Harris thanked those who had supported her in this fight, including her husband Doug, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, her running mate Tim Walz, as well as her family.

She also expressed her gratitude to her team, volunteers, poll workers and election officials for their work.

Kamala Harris concluded by saying she was proud of the campaign she had run and the way it had been conducted during the 107 days of struggle.

Kamala Harris expressed her pride in the coalition and community she had brought together during the campaign, a group of people from diverse backgrounds and origins, united by their love of country, with enthusiasm and joy, in their fight for America’s future.

The Vice President had an important message, acknowledging that her supporters were going through a wide range of emotions. She stressed the importance of accepting the election results, which prompted some booing from the crowd.

However, Harris went on to say that, despite the defeat, she and President Biden were committed to supporting Trump in a peaceful transition of power, a statement that was met with applause.

The Vice President emphasized that this gesture distinguished democracy from monarchy, pointing out that true loyalty lies in the U.S. Constitution, not in individuals in positions of power.

She stressed the importance of honoring this principle, a message that seemed to be aimed directly at the president-elect.

Harris made it clear that, while she accepted the results of the election as part of this democratic process, she was not abandoning the struggle that had fueled her campaign, that for freedom, opportunity, fairness and dignity for all.

She also stressed the importance of continuing the fight to protect women’s freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, to defend the right to schools and streets free from gun violence, and to preserve democracy, the rule of law, fair justice and the fundamental right to freedom.

Harris then spoke directly to the young people watching her, telling them it was normal to feel sad and disappointed. She sought to reassure them that all would be well, because even if sometimes the struggle takes time, that doesn’t mean we won’t win.

Harris explained that, although many felt the country was entering a difficult time, it was important to turn this darkness into an opportunity to light up the sky with billions of bright stars, through our optimism, faith, truth and service.

After Donald Trump’s landslide victory, rival Kamala Harris called to congratulate him personally.

A few hours later, she delivered a concession speech to her supporters on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C.

During the exchange, she not only congratulated him, but also stressed the importance of becoming a president for all Americans.

Later in the day, Kamala Harris delivered a speech to the nation, addressing her many supporters, still reeling from defeat but gathered for several hours to support her.

They were gathered at the place where her victory was to be celebrated, the day after her defeat.

Joe Biden also called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory, while inviting him to the White House for a transitional meeting.

Biden added that he would address the nation on Thursday.

The US stock market surged at the opening of trading after Trump’s victory was announced, with the Dow Jones recording a gain of over 1,300 points.

The stock market opened positively after the surprising announcement of Trump’s victory in the presidential election, news which, far from upsetting the markets, seems to have supported them, at least for the time being.

The Dow Jones Industrial saw its shares rise 3% the morning after the election results were announced, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 gained 2%.

Shares in DJT, Trump’s stockbroking company, recorded a 17% gain, while those in Tesla and Elon Musk climbed over 14%. Bitcoin also saw its value rise by over 7%.

Recall that historically, the US stock market tends to rise after the winner of an election is announced, regardless of the victorious party.

In 2020, Trump warned that the stock market’s enormous growth under his presidency would collapse if voters replaced him with Joe Biden.

However, since Biden’s arrival in the White House, the US stock market has recorded even more spectacular rises, breaking several records.

The announcement of Donald Trump’s victory had an impact on certain stock market values: shares in DJT, Tesla and Bitcoin rose after the election results, benefiting Trump, Elon Musk and Bitcoin.

DJT shares, representing Donald Trump’s company, have seen a series of ups and downs in recent months.

However, Trump’s surprise victory seems to have had a positive impact, contributing to a recovery in its share price.

Indeed, DJT shares had fallen to $30.02 on November 4, just before the election, but jumped to $44.35 the day after the results, before falling back slightly thereafter.

For Tesla and Elon Musk, now one of Donald Trump’s most powerful allies in his victory, Tesla’s share value was at its lowest on November 4, at $243.52.

However, the day after the election on November 6, it rose significantly, peaking at $284.55, before falling back slightly.

Finally, investors in Bitcoin, which Trump has suggested in recent months could be used to finance the US government’s multi-billion debts, probably viewed Trump’s victory positively, as the value of Bitcoin also rose. On November 4, it was at $68,346, and the day after the election, it had climbed to $74,552.

The unexpected outcome of the election gave a boost to DJT, Tesla and Bitcoin shares.

It remains to be seen how the coming months will evolve with Trump’s imminent installation in the White House for a second term.

Election Day has finally arrived in the United States, and the suspense is obviously at its height on November 5. The two candidates, with completely opposite visions of America, have withdrawn to different parts of the country after a particularly intense campaign blitz.

After focusing all her efforts on this historic campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris will be following the results with friends and family in Washington D.C.

Trump retreats to Mar-a-Lago

While the final week of the campaign was difficult for Trump, he chose to retreat to Mar-a-Lago in Florida to await the results. There, he cast his vote on the morning of November 5, in the company of Melania Trump, who had been largely absent throughout this election campaign.

Kamala Harris with the momentum in the campaign’s home stretch

Kamala Harris ended her final campaign night on a high note, with several simultaneous rallies in different cities, drawing large crowds. In Las Vegas, Nevada, singer Christina Aguilera performed “Feel This Moment”, “Beautiful” and “Fighter”, while in Detroit, Jon Bon Jovi joined Tim Walz’s rally, where he sang “The People’s House” and “Livin’ on a Prayer”.

Katy Perry was in Pittsburgh, where she performed her songs “Dark Horse”, “Part of Me” and “Firework”, after Kamala Harris’s speech. The latter then flew to the main rally in Philadelphia, where several celebrities were present.

In Philadelphia, Oprah and rapper Fat Joe spoke, while Ricky Martin performed several of his songs, including “Livin’ la Vida Loca”. Lady Gaga sang “God Bless America” before closing the evening with “Edge of Glory”.

A tumultuous end to Trump’s campaign, as he struggles to fill his rallies

Donald Trump has had a particularly tumultuous end to his campaign, concluding his run for the presidency amid controversy, particularly after his rally at Madison Square Garden. Struggling to fill his final rallies in several key states, he seemed to lack energy on stage and sometimes lost patience with technical problems, such as difficulties with microphones, causing him to adopt rather erratic gestures.

He ended the last night of his campaign in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a better way, alongside Megyn Kelly, who explained that his positions on immigration and transgender rights were reasons to vote for Trump, whom she saw as a defender of women.

Three of Donald Trump’s children were present at the latest rally: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump.

What can we expect in the coming days?

So, what can we expect in the days ahead? Authorities are on high alert for any event that could disrupt the voting sites, although at the time of writing everything is going relatively smoothly. However, many fear that the vote count could be disrupted.

Donald Trump continues to repeat that if he loses, it will be because of voter fraud, while his campaign worries about the turnout of his supporters.

Many fear Trump will declare victory before all the votes are counted.

For their part, the authorities assure that all measures are being taken to ensure that the elections take place in a free and fair manner.

Kamala Harris is confident and satisfied with the turnout observed so far.

The next few days will certainly be eventful for Americans.

It’s still just as magical!

The Wizards of Waverly Place series aired on Disney Channel from 2007 to 2012 and quickly became one of the channel’s most popular shows, alongside Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. It starred Alex Russo (played by Selena Gomez), a teenager with magical powers who had to juggle her witchcraft training with her life as a student.

Twelve years later, the spin-off Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was released.

Selena Gomez made a guest appearance, and fans can look forward to a healthy dose of nostalgia!

The new series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place stars Justin Russo, Alex’s older brother, who has decided to lead a mortal life alongside his partner Giada and their two boys. His tranquility is disrupted when he is visited by Billie, a young girl sent by Alex to convince him to return to witchcraft.

David Henrie reprises his role as Justin Russo, while Mimi Gianopulos plays Giada, and Janice LeAnn Brown plays the rebellious Billie.

Fans can also expect several nods to the old series with the return of Jake T. Austin as Max, Maria Canals-Barrera as Theresa, and David DeLuise as Jerry.

As for Selena Gomez, in addition to her appearance in the pilot episode, she’ll be back in several of the ten planned episodes!

A real treat for die-hard fans!

Wazzaaaaaa!

In April 2024, a reboot of the Scary Movie franchise was announced at Paramount’s CinemaCon event, and now it’s official! Marlon Wayans confirmed on Instagram that after 20 years, he and his brothers will be back for a new installment of the cult comedy.

The Scary Movie series was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the first two installments, while Marlon and Shawn co-wrote and starred in these films, which parodied horror classics such as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The fifth film, released in 2013, already left fans waiting for a new installment.

Deadline has also confirmed that filming on the new Scary Movie will begin in 2025, with a theatrical release planned shortly afterwards. The Wayans brothers, alongside Rick Alvarez (producer of Scary Movie 2 and White Chicks), will be responsible for scripting and producing this long-awaited return.

In June 2024, Anna Faris, the unforgettable star of the first four films, shared with Deadline that she would agree to reprise her role as Cindy Campbell under two conditions: an adequate fee and the return of Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, her hilarious best friend.

Fans are already wondering whether films such as Insidious, M3GAN and Smile will be referenced in this new opus.

RFK Jr., who has been associated with Donald Trump’s electoral campaign for several weeks under the promise of holding an important position in his administration, was trying to have his name removed from the ballot in key states so as not to harm Trump’s chances of being elected.

His request was finally rejected by the Supreme Court.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rejects push to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from ballot in two swing states https://t.co/XXBOvTZvry

— The Associated Press (@AP) October 29, 2024

The Supreme Court did indeed reject RFK Jr.’s request to be removed from the ballot in two key states, which was a desperate attempt on his part through an emergency appeal.

The states of Michigan and Wisconsin asserted that it would be impossible to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name at this stage of the election, given that early voting is already underway, just days before the election.

Indeed, at the time of this latest attempt to plead his case, 1.5 million people in Michigan had already returned their absentee ballots, while in Wisconsin, over 858,000 people had also returned their ballots.

Kennedy wanted the Supreme Court to accept that his presence on the ballot violated his First Amendment rights by falsely implying that he still wished to be elected president.

However, the Court ultimately rejected his arguments.
