Christie elected, Cuomo Concedes Defeat
The most expensive presidential campaign in modern memory came to an end at 12:55 AM last night when the associated press announced Chris Christie had won the 2016 presidential election. Christie, who has spent the past six years as Governor of New Jersey, was declared the winner after winning his home state of New Jersey along with swing states Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Missouri, and North Carolina. This placed the New Jersey native at 300 electoral votes. At 1:15 AM, Democratic Presidential nominee Andrew Cuomo and running-mate Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) conceded defeat at their campaign headquarters in Albany, New York. Cuomo thanked supporters, stating that "This campaign was one about people, not politics. Without people, we would not be in this position, we would not have won the great support we've had." Mean while, across the Hudson River, at The Hilton Hotel in Parsippany, New Jersey, President-elect Chris Christie thanked supporters and the nation."Tonight, we have proven that the American dream is alive and well. Words can not express the gratitude I feel towards New Jersey and the nation tonight. I am humbled, you have humbled me. Our victory is one based on a brighter future for our country, and an end to partisan bickering in Washington." Marco Rubio of Florida, who will succeed Joe Biden as Vice President, told reporters later that he was "Excited to work with President-elect Christie and members of both parties in congress to do the work Americans elected us to do; fix our economy, get our fiscal house in order, and change the tone in Washington D.C." In exit polls, Americans cited the economy as the top issue, though the national debt registered a close second. Furthermore, 42% of Americans cited they approved of the job performance of President Obama. In a statement, the white house congratulated both Chris Christie and Andrew Cuomo. For both men, getting to the nomination was a challenge. For Chris Christie, it meant facing two challengers. In Iowa, Christie lost the caucus to Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum. After an overwhelming victory in New Hampshire, Christie nearly lost his party's nomination as Marco Rubio carried both South Carolina and his home state of Florida. However, Christie rebounded and won 35 states. For Cuomo, the challenge was more of a surprise. He faced Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley from the left and Virginia Senator Mark Warner on the right. Though O'Malley won no state contests, he weakened Cuomo's campaign early on. Warner pulled a big win in South Carolina and won all the southern primaries. In the end, Cuomo won his party's nomination, many say due in part because of the support he won from Former President Bill Clinton. Throughout the general election, the candidates debated the economy and fiscal issues. Cuomo argued for a tax increase on the wealthiest five percent of Americans, a minimum-wage hike, a $1,000 tax credit for the middle class, and closing corporate loopholes. Christie argued for a 15% across the board income tax cut, a reduction in the corporate tax from 35 to 25%, a 7% across the board cut in spending on everything with an exception for the military and veterans, and Christie said he would repeal "Obamacare." In the end, Americans came down on the side of Christie; he took 51 percent of the vote to Cuomo's 48 percent.

Christie Elected President
A narrow win in his home state of New Jersey handed Governor Chris Christie the Presidency a little after 11 PM last night, as the Governor greeted thousands of joyful supporters in Trenton. A state away, however, it was a very different atmosphere, as those hoping to see history made faced defeat in Albany. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand fell just short in her quest to become America's first female President.

Wild Wild West: Schweitzer beats Thune

Former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have defeated South Dakota Senator John Thune and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal in one of the closest elections in US history. At the time the race was called, the popular vote was essentially tied at 48.9 percent each. It should be noted that many votes were still being counted and our model predicts that Schweitzer will win the popular vote 49.5 to 48.5 percent. The electoral college was similarly close, with Schweitzer achieving a 275-263 win.

The final state to be called was Iowa, which supplanted Ohio as the bellwether state of the presidential election, contrary to popular belief. The election saw Thune make significant inroads to Obama's 2008-2012 coalition, winning swing states such as Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. However, Thune had significant trouble picking up western states, losing in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Schweitzer's home state of Montana. Senator Thune conceded the election at 2 AM EST, and is not expected challenge the results; the Schweitzer states were all won by at least 2 percent (the closest was Iowa at 2.2 percent) and are thus ineligible for a recount. Conversely, Schweitzer came within a percentage point in Ohio and Virginia.
