Here is how five key demographic groups voted in 2024 US Presidential poll

Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base. That finding comes from AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide that shows what issues mattered to voters in this election. Trump picked up a small but significant share of Black and Hispanic voters, and made narrow gains with men and women. As Trump chipped away at parts of Democrats' coalition, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't able to make enough of her own gains. Trump succeeded in locking down his traditionally older, white base of voters, and he slightly expanded his margins with other groups into a winning coalition. Here's how five key demographic groups voted, according to AP VoteCast. Most Trump voters were white, a trend that continued from 2020 Slightly more than 8 in 10 Trump voters in this election were white, roughly in line with 2020.

Republicans try for slim House majority as 3 races uncalled in Pennsylvania

Three races for the US House in Pennsylvania remained uncalled by The Associated Press on Wednesday, as vote counting continued and Republicans fought to keep their slim majority in the chamber. A House majority would give the GOP a full sweep of power in Congress alongside President-elect Donald Trump in the White House. In all three of Pennsylvania's uncalled races, the Republican candidate held a slight lead, with some votes still outstanding. One uncalled race was the contest in an Allentown-based district in eastern Pennsylvania, where three-term Democratic US Rep. Susan Wild conceded to Republican Ryan Mackenzie. Mackenzie is a member of the state House of Representatives. Democrats hold a slight registration advantage in the district, but its close political divide made Wild a perennial target of Republicans. Also uncalled was a race in a northeastern Pennsylvania district around Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, where six-term Democratic US Rep. Matt Cartwright was trying to fend

Joe Biden to apologise for 150-year Indian boarding school policy today

President Joe Biden is expected to formally apologise on Friday for the country's role in the Indian boarding school system, which devastated the lives of generations of Indigenous children and their ancestors. I would never have guessed in a million years that something like this would happen, said Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna. It's a big deal to me. I'm sure it will be a big deal to all of Indian Country. Shortly after becoming the first Native American to lead the Interior, Haaland launched an investigation into the boarding school system, which found that at least 18,000 children, some as young as 4, were taken from their parents and forced to attend schools that sought to assimilate them, in an effort to dispossess their tribal nations of land. It also documented nearly 1,000 deaths and 74 gravesites associated with the more than 500 schools. No president has ever formally apologized for the forced removal of Native American, Alaska Nativ
