KCII News spoke with U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley about the result of the November 5th General Election, and how he felt the election went “Surprisingly well. Obviously, I’m a Republican, so you would probably expect me to say that, but going into election night, I thought maybe we would have to wait a couple of weeks to find out who is the elected president. And before the night was out, we had a president that had not only won the electoral college vote, and then it turns out to be a landslide in that respect. But for the first time since 2004 and only the second time since 1988. It’s only the second time that a Republican has been elected president that he also carries the popular vote, so this is a landslide.” The 2024 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 5th. In the presidential election, former President Donald Trump, running as the Republican nominee, defeated the incumbent Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
