Former President Trump has won Montana, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

Trump’s win in Big Sky Country was expected. He carried the state in 2020 over President Biden by 16 points and won it by 20 points over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The state also saw a competitive race between Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and retired Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy, as well as a measure on the ballot that would establish a constitutional right to an abortion up to the point of fetal viability.

What now for Asma al-Assad – the former British private schoolgirl turned international pariah
What must Asma al-Assad be thinking right now? Bright, beautiful and British-born, she could be living an affluent life in England, with friends, family and a fine career, had she not sold her soul to the devil. As it is, she is an international pariah, the wife of a monster responsible for more than half a million deaths, and she faces – along with her three children – the very real prospect of spending the rest of her days in joyless exile in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

Trudeau says Americans are realizing Trump's tariffs on Canada would make life a lot more expensive
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that Americans “are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive" and said he will retaliate if Donald Trump goes ahead with them. Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau also said dealing with Trump will be “a little more challenging” than the last time because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016. The U.S. president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico unless they stem the flow of migrants and drugs.
