Dressed in their MAGA best—red sequins, stars, and stripes—people from all over the country, including media pundits, mega donors, MAGA-ites, and social butterflies mingled with servicemen and women, blue collar faithfuls, and bright-eyed college politicos, as anticipation built for the final election results. You could cut the energy with a knife.
Giant screens projected Fox News, CNN, and ongoing election analysis and updates. Every time a notification from Kamala Harris' headquarters popped on the screen, the producers would immediately cut to "YMCA" blasting with visuals of Trump's famous dance moves.
Members of Trump's advance team meandered throughout the sea of patriots, flashing smiles and expressions of solidarity.
The exquisite former wife to Donald Trump Jr., Vanessa Trump, and their children graced the headquarters with their presence before the official results were announced.
Around midnight, just after CNN had reported that we would see tens of thousands of mail-in ballots coming in that had yet to be counted, I spotted Devon Archer, former business associate of the Biden's in the crowd.
On election night, I was surprised to learn that Archer had been campaigning for Trump for some time.
Robert F. Kennedy made his way into the crowd shortly after, along with Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes, Kash Patel, and others.
I had the chance to reunite with patriot, the former President of Brazil's son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who also came to Palm Beach to reign in Trump's victory.

Police officers and security details ushered in high-profile individuals and looked on as a patriotic crowd chanted "USA! USA! USA!" as positive poll numbers rolled in.
The electoral votes continued to rack up: North Carolina, Iowa, Georgia, Utah, Montana, and more.
Once Pennsylvania was announced, at 267 electoral votes, we knew we had won.
Many credit Elon Musk and Joe Rogan's endorsements as to what significantly impacted the independent voters and moderates.
Trump previously said that he would invite Musk into his administration to eliminate government waste, an effort coined as the "Department of Government Efficiency," or DOGE, "the name of a meme and cryptocurrency that he has popularized."
The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk spent more than $100 million to send Trump back to the White House.
Musk also "spent the last weeks before election day running a get-out-the-vote effort in the battleground states, which included a daily giveaway of $1 million to voters in those states. The giveaway became the subject of a legal challenge, though a judge later ruled they could go ahead."
During Trump's victory speech, UFC CEO Dana White was given a moment, wherein he thanked the Nelk Boys, viral streamer Adin Ross, Bussin' With the Boys, Theo Von, and Joe Rogan.
Congratulations @realDonaldTrump @RobertKennedyJr and @JDVance and your team. And thank you @danawhite for helping podcasts contribute to the political landscape. NEVER would have happened without YOU! We invited all the candidates but only three showed up. 🙏 🙏 #MAHA pic.twitter.com/ZowNFmNRT0

On Wednesday morning, MSNBC interviewed Robert F. Kennedy on what reforms he would make, effectively, upon entering the Trump administration.
Kennedy said that certain departments within the Food and Drug Administration FDA "have to go."
Trump says he will bring Kennedy into his administration to combat federal regulations in the food and pharmaceutical industries, among other things.
RFK Jr.: Some departments at the FDA “have to go.”

As Americans awoke from their slumber on Wednesday morning, some clutched their cups of coffee with tears in their eyes; others hoisted their American flags.
The people of the United States can rest assure that in the coming months, we will see reform at our border, in our food and drug systems, in our defense, in our schools, in our economy, and in our homes.
Americans will know the feeling of world peace again, catapulted from the beacon of diplomacy that will shine through the dirtiest swamps of Washington once more.
While the events of Tuesday evening still feel like a dream, the nation will soon rest in the comfort of knowing that the true dreams worth fighting for are those that arise from the relentless fight to preserve the freedoms and values we hold dear.
