Soldiers in a Ukrainian artillery battery on the front were only vaguely aware of the US election results coming in.

Their entrenched artillery battery fires on Russian forces daily — and takes fire nearly as often. Just the other day, one of their overhead nets snared a Russian drone.

“I hope that the quantity of weapons, the quantity of guns for our victory will increase,” the unit’s 39-year-old commander, who goes by the name Mozart, said in the hours before Trump’s win was confirmed. “We don’t care who is the president, as long as they don’t cut us off from help, because we need it.”

Though Trump’s election throws into doubt American support for Ukraine — and ultimately whether Kyiv can beat back Russia’s invasion — the soldiers who use their Starlink connection to the internet sparingly learned of the results from Associated Press journalists.

Here we go with the January 6 litigation.

Trump promised to pardon all people convicted for their part in Jan 6 and now one rioter, found guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding, is asking a judge overseeing his case to pause his status hearing until Trump’s presidential transition team gives them more concrete information on when those pardons could happen.

Even though he was found guilty, this man’s case is back in proceedings because the Supreme Court redefined the obstruction of justice charge in Fischer v US back in June.

We can expect more of this.

Both Harris and Biden are set to call Trump today to congratulate him on his election win, according to NBC.

The vice president is set to make her concession speech at around 6pm ET, according to Reuters.

Biden will also make public remarks about the election results today, a White House official has said, adding that Biden is set to invite Trump to the White House and attend his inauguration on January 20, 2025, NBC noted.

Kamala Harris will deliver her concession speech at around 6pm ET, according to Reuters.

Kamala Harris’s dream of becoming the first woman to be elected US president quickly turned into a nightmare for the crowd that gathered at Howard University late Tuesday evening.

Election Night was understandably depressing for Democrats. The party lost its majority in the Senate and saw Donald Trump return to the White House in January with a powerful conservative majority on the Supreme Court — the near worst-case scenario many in the party were warning about for months.

The tears definitely flowed on the Yard outside Frederick Douglass Hall as the night grew long and Harris campaign adviser Cedric Richmond told the crowd that the vice president wouldn’t speak to them. Richmond vowed that the campaign would fight “overnight,” but Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania and other states made the realities clear.

For me – plus many of my friends and family – this result has brought with it a whole new level of fear and dismay. We were the first swing state to go; the first to watch Trump turn us red all over again. Despite our democratic governor, Attorney General Josh Stein, taking the seat; Republicans claimed the state. The margin was razor-thin, but ultimately it wasn’t enough. The question we’re all left asking now is: why?

Mr Trump secured the magic number of 270 Electoral College votes by winning Wisconsin – having already picked up North Carolina, Georgia and, crucially, Pennsylvania – and also secured the popular vote by 51 percent to 47.5 percent, claiming 77m ballots to Harris’s 66m.

Counting is still underway in Michigan, Arizona and Nevada but those results will not alter the outcome.

Mr Trump took to the stage with his family and running mate JD Vance earlier to promise a “golden age for America” and hail “the greatest political movement of all time.”

Republicans have also likely taken control of the Senate, a key victory for the party which has been in minority there since 2021.
