Donald Trump’s shock election victory Tuesday saw stock in his Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, spike by roughly 35 percent, with his 114.75 million shares skyrocketing to $5.3 billion in premarket trading—up from $3.9 billion at close of markets on Election Day.
Trading of the stock was halted three times after the market open on Wednesday, with the shares still up around 16 percent when stopped for the third time. That would value Trump’s stake in the company at $4.6 billion if the 16 percent hike were to hold throughout the day.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement late Wednesday, saying that “we all pray for America’s success under the next administration,” but did not make mention of Trump by name, the AP reports.
Pelosi was seen as the architect of the Democratic party’s strategic shift from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris as top of their ticket over the summer. The California Democrat has been Trump’s biggest critic, saying previously that her goal is to ensure Trump never enters the White House again.
“The peaceful transfer of power is the cornerstone of our democracy,” Pelosi said. “After every election, we all have a responsibility to come together and find common ground.”

A 13-year-old Jewish boy from Crown Heights was assaulted as he rode his bike to school in the heavily-Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood at about 8 a.m. on Monday, the victim’s mother told JNS.
“Whatever the motivation was, whether it was hate or not, this was a case where a 40-year old adult smacked a kid who looks like he is 10-years-old,” said the mother, who asked not to be named. “It’s just completely inappropriate.”
“We should be able to send our boys off to school on their bikes without worrying,” she added.

The four leaders of the major opposition parties, Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz, Avigdor Lieberman, and Yair Golan, held a press conference on Wednesday at the Knesset in response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday evening.

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks following losing the 2024 Presidential Election to former President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s presidential win is going to be certified in Congress in January by the candidate he beat, Vice President Kamala Harris. Under the Constitution, the vice president is the head of the Senate, and it’s the role of the Senate president to declare the result of a White House election. That happens Jan. 6. Under normal circumstances, the vote-tallying procedure performed by the vice president is a mere formality and it’s the final step in the complicated technical process of electing a new administration. For example, in 2000, after the grueling 36-day Florida recount battle, Democrat Al Gore conceded the presidency on Dec. 13 to Republican George W. Bush. Gore, too, was the vice president, and he certified Bush’s win.
