In an election season in which both parties sought out any possible edge, Democrats clung to one seemingly clear-cut advantage: Celebrities including Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen broke hard for that party, even as voters did not. The result was a split-screen of American celebrity — two sets of famous people for two halves of the country. But by and large, the biggest names in entertainment said Vice President Kamala Harris should be elected to the nation’s highest office. Ms. Harris was decisively defeated on Tuesday, despite the backing of a megastar like Beyoncé. “America is tired,” wrote Albert Pennachio, an independent voter who lives in Statesville, N.C. “And we don’t care what celebrities think anymore.”

Andrew Yeung, a former Google and Meta lead, goes on coffee chats three to five times a week. I spent a few years as a product lead at Google and a business operations lead at Meta before leaving to build a 7-figure business and invest in over 20 early-stage companies. Most of my business partnerships, clients, and — dare I say — friendships started with a coffee chat. Once I have clarity, I use my goal outcome to shape three discussion topics or broad questions for the conversation.

He finds it easier to date older women now but is also content to be alone. He says dating older women means there's no pressure to talk about having children. It wasn't necessarily a conscious decision, but several influences probably contributed to my never having children with the women I dated. It's not just the idea of having kids I've let go as I have gotten older — I also no longer feel forced to have a serious relationship. But now that I'm decidedly not having children and my age has eased, the pressure to be in a relationship has eased.

After I was diagnosed with autism, it made sense why these networking events were so hard for me. I didn't have to maintain eye contact with someone new every five minutes or try to make out what they were saying over a loud crowd. Then, three years later, I was diagnosed with autism at 21, and it suddenly made sense why networking was extra difficult for me.

☆ How Trump broke both parties — and where Democrats go from here: From the Politics Desk

In today’s edition, senior national political reporter Jonathan Allen explains why Democrats need to retool their economic message during Donald Trump's second term. Plus, senior national politics reporter Matt Dixon writes that the battle to succeed Trump in four years is already underway. How Trump broke both parties — and where Democrats go from hereBy Jonathan AllenOver the course of the last decade, President-elect Donald Trump broke both national political parties. Before Trump, Democrats nominated — and the country twice elected — Barack Obama, a candidate who ran against leaders that walked the country into forever wars and a finance-and-housing crisis that nearly toppled the economy. Harris’ economic policy offerings were largely expansions of Biden proposals, such as more generous homebuyer and child tax credits than he called for.

Ties have been at their lowest point in decades amid disputes over trade, technology, Taiwan and Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. “We respect the choice of the American people,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement earlier. A second Trump presidency “could mark a new beginning in China-U.S. relations if the chance that has been offered is not wasted,” state-run newspaper China Daily said in an editorial on Wednesday. But Chinese officials laser-focused on stabilizing their faltering economy are also mindful of the tariffs of 60% or more that Trump has vowed to impose on all Chinese imports. One person it may turn to for help is tech billionaire Elon Musk, a devoted Trump supporter with extensive business interests in China who is wildly popular there.

Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesDonald Trump's election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris marks a historic return to the White House — an extraordinary political comeback that is likely to have seismic ramifications for the global economy. The former president's litany of campaign pledges include steep tariffs, tax cuts, deregulation and a push to withdraw from key global agreements. Trump's favorite wordTrump has previously described "tariff" as his favorite word, calling it "the most beautiful word in the dictionary." And we don't see Trump's secondary tariff pledge — that baseline tariff, which would hurt European companies — as being all that feasible," Galbraith said. Analysts have warned that Trump's plan to impose universal tariffs are highly likely to raise prices for consumers and slow spending.

Steven Mnuchin, who held the post throughout Trump's first term from 2017-21, told CNBC that he sees those items as critical to the Republican's agenda. Tax cuts are "a signature part of his program," Mnuchin said in a "Squawk Box" interview. Also on the agenda would be tariffs, which Trump implemented on multiple items during his first term and promised to do again. Finally, he indicated that nations such as Iran and Russia can expect to see sanctions again. In the case of Iran, they're now selling millions of barrels of oil, which needs to be stopped," Mnuchin said.

The coalition has been at loggerheads over how to revive Germany’s economy. What problems is Germany’s economy facing?

Former President Donald Trump has won the 2024 election, sweeping into office on a wave of support for Republican candidates. NBC News reports that the previously Democrat-controlled Senate will have a Republican majority. After all, the S&P 500 has gone up during 17 of the last 20 four-year presidential terms. A divided Congress in particular tends to bode well for investors, with average yearly gains of 15.7% under Democratic presidents and 13.7% under Republican presidents. Should the S&P 500 finish out 2024 up from the previous year (it's currently up about 25%), it will mark 14 consecutive years of positive returns under split Congresses.

"In a market with so few sellers and so many buyers, those buyers need to pay up if they want to get their hands on some shares," he said. "But they're willing to pay up because they're so worried that tomorrow a lot of them will have to pay even more than they did today." Wednesday's momentum largely continued during Thursday's session, as investors deemed a decisive Trump victory to broadly bode well for Wall Street and big business. Cramer used Home Depot 's stock moves to illustrate what he called "a dearth of sellers," explaining how shares were able to advance 2.85% by the close. The sellers are afraid to sell, the buyers are incredibly eager to buy," Cramer said.

Republicans also flipped an open seat in Michigan’s 7th District, after Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin decided to run for the Senate. Because California is notoriously slow in counting ballots, some of the half-dozen hyper-competitive races there — critical to which party wins the House majority — likely will take days.

We still don't know who will control the House next year, and it could take days to count votes. But we still don't know who controls the House of Representatives, and the outcome will have major implications for the first two years of Trump's second term. "As more results come in it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House," said House Speaker Mike Johnson in a statement on Wednesday morning. A Democratic House would be a major constraint on Trump's powerHistorically, newly elected presidents have typically enjoyed unified government at the beginning of their terms. Allowing those provisions to simply expire would cause most Americans to experience a major tax hike.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced Wednesday he had dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner, possibly bringing an end to Germany's ruling coalition after months of political wrangling. The three-year-old union between Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and Lindner's Free Democratic Party (FDP) has been on shaky ground for some time, with differing budget and economic policy positions causing tensions and clashes. It wasn't immediately clear if Lindner's departure would lead to the FDP exiting the coalition. Scholz said he would call for a vote of no confidence on Jan. 15 in parliament, raising the possibility of elections earlier than scheduled in March. But that is precisely not Christian Lindner's focus right now, he is focused on his own clientele."
