Donald Trump Wins:

Pro-Life Americans Rejoice

Pro-life groups today are celebrating former President Donald Trump’s resounding victory over abortion extremist Kamala Harris. Trump shocked Democrats by winning both the popular vote and the electoral college.

Harris made abortion rights the centerpiece of her campaign. She and her running mate Tim Walz repeatedly refused to specify any limits on abortion which they would support. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told LifeNews: "Americans have rejected the Democrats’ no-limits abortion agenda...Millions learned the truth that the Democrats would force Americans to pay for and participate in abortions against their will, with no exceptions, and even leave babies who survive failed abortions to die."

Florida’s Pro-Abortion Amendment 4 Ballot Initiative is Defeated

In the ongoing aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the 2024 election saw an unprecedented 11 ballot initiatives in 10 states that mostly attempted to codify a “right” to obtain an abortion into state constitutions. Perhaps the most highly contested initiative took place in Florida, where the pro-abortion Amendment 4 failed to pass.

Amendment 4 would have enshrined abortion through birth into Florida’s constitution, removed protections for unborn children after viability, eliminated parental consent laws, and allowed abortions to be referred and carried out by non-doctors, among other provisions.

The initiative, which needed 60% of the voters' approval to pass, was defeated by a margin of 57% (for) and 43% (against). (Sadly, these numbers were eerily reminiscent of the margin by which Ohio's Issue 1 passed last year.)

Ohio's Bernie Moreno Defeats

Sherrod Brown to Help Republicans Win Control of the U.S. Senate

Republican businessman Bernie Moreno will become the next U.S. senator from Ohio, defeating longtime incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown. Moreno, who faced an onslaught of campaign attacks from the pro-abortion lobby, garnered 50.3% of the vote to Brown's 46.3%.

Moreno told supporters during an Election Night rally in Westlake that he and other Republicans are “going to massively reduce the size and scale of the federal government.” He noted the national debt is $36 trillion, which he said “is not sustainable.”

Moreno's victory, along with Republican wins in Montana and West Virginia, give the GOP a 52-45 majority at the time of this writing. Republicans are hoping to build on their majority by getting wins in Pennsylvania and Nevada, which are too close to call at present.

In what could be the most amazing political comeback in American history on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump was reelected for a second, nonconsecutive term to serve as the 47th president of the United States, and he has promised to “help our country heal” after a bruising campaign during which he escaped two assassination attempts.

Many of the people who supported Trump were outspoken Christian leaders who were quick to publicly congratulate him on his victory. Here are 10 reactions from Christian leaders across the country on Trump’s reelection victory.
