Election Day

Election Day.

Today marks the end of a long 2024 election cycle. If all goes well, the 47th President of the United States may be voted into office tonight.

In Florida, Republicans are leading Democrats, but the controversial Amendment 3 and Amendment 4 could drive enough support to the polls to make statewide races and some congressional races tighter than expected.

Both the pot and abortion amendments face an uphill climb to pass. The 60-percentage vote bar needed to pass either measure is a heavy lift, and polls show that neither initiative appears it will pass.

Stay tuned for our comprehensive election night coverage.

Donald J. Trump-Roberto Clemente, the Pride of Puerto Rico, was one of the greatest baseball players in history, and also a tremendous humanitarian.

It was my pleasure to talk about his legacy with his oldest son, Roberto Jr., at our rally in Pittsburgh. It’s wonderful to have his support.
