Jason Lee Of Hollywood Unlocked Wins Councilman Race In California

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jason Lee, of Hollywood Unlocked fame, has won the race for Councilman of Stockton, California’s sixth district. He was able to do so with 55.7% of the vote over his opponent, Kimberly Warmsley. The victory came amid a night of disappointment for Democrats, as Donald Trump easily secured a Republican win for the presidency.

Lee previously discussed his decision to get into politics during an interview with BET. “It’s very different from being in the media and covering pop culture to being in politics. When I talk on Hollywood Unlocked, people are going to like my opinion or not,” Lee explained to the publication, last month. “But when you’re in the streets trying to tackle homelessness, trying to make the streets safer for kids, making sure people live in market-rate housing, and have a community that can thrive again, it’s a very different experience.”

He added: “Running for office took me back to my days of working for the union, which I did for 11 years at [the Service Employees International Union]. This is real purposeful work. I’m not saying the work I do at Hollywood Unlocked isn’t purpose-driven, but being able to help people in my community where I grew up, where my family still lives, [and] where I’ve moved back to is where the heart is. It’s my passion.”

On the other side of the country, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis also made headlines for winning her bid for reelection. On top of the presidency, the Associated Press reports that Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate as well. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jason Lee on HotNewHipHop.

Charlamagne Tha God Emphatically Blames Joe Biden After Disastrous Election Results For Democrats

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God went off on Joe Biden during Wednesday morning’s episode of The Breakfast Club while discussing the results of the 2024 presidential election. The rant comes after Donald Trump declared victory over Kamala Harris from his watch party at Mar-a-Lago just before 2:30 AM, EST. By that point, he had clinched 277 electoral college votes.

“Biden is one of the problems here because he should’ve let everyone know he was just a transitional president,” Charlamagne began. “He should’ve let everybody know he was just going to do four years and get on about his business. Biden should’ve dropped out a year ago or two years ago. And they should’ve made him drop out a year or two years ago. Or not drop out, but say he was not going to run again. Whoever could’ve prepared. They could’ve done a proper primary, picked a candidate. I still think the V.P. probably would’ve been the best choice. I think Biden is one of the bigger issues here that people aren’t going to want to talk about but they should. At the end of the day, America spoke loud and clear. It was a free and fair election. People went out there and voted for the candidate that they wanted to vote for and now that candidate is our President.”

Ross’ first stream with Trump took place in August, and various clips from it quickly went viral. Ross even gifted Trump a Rolex and a custom Tesla Cybertruck at the time. Shortly after the stream, Trump took to Truth Social to acknowledge the record-breaking interview. “Congratulations to Adin and his wonderful mother, father, and family, who I had the pleasure to meet,” he wrote in part. “Thank you also to Barron Trump for the introduction to your friend, Adin. Young people are the future of America.” A few days later, Ross announced that he’d be doing another stream with Trump if he won the election.

“This is what he says before the last words. ‘Adin, next one we do we’ll go to the White House.’ Smile on his face, walks out,” Ross revealed. “I don’t think you guys understand the power that you guys have.

DJ Akademiks Accuses Kamala Harris Of Sending Him Money

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential race, which has unsurprisingly sparked huge reactions from social media users and celebrities. DJ Akademiks, for example, recently took to X with a surprising revelation in response to the news. According to him, Vice President Kamala Harris allegedly sent him money. Despite this, he says he was still hoping that Trump would come out victorious.

“Kamala and her crew sent me some bread too.. I took some and still hoped her a** lost. Appreciate u Shordy. Ur money good but u ain’t .. not for the country. Big Donald Trump gonna run that up for us. U can’t buy everything in life. SEE U in 4 YEARS!” he wrote.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what Harris’ team allegedly sent Akademiks money for. Either way, the accusation has some users feeling skeptical in his replies. “You didn’t get no money bruh,” one of them speculates. Others are praising him for not backing Harris despite the alleged financial incentive. He’s not the only one celebrating Trump’s win today either, as countless others are also flooding X with positive reactions. Lil Pump, for example, took the opportunity to slam various celebrities who have endorsed Harris in a series of Tweets. He’s been a vocal Trump supporter and Harris hater for some time now, so his response to the news didn’t exactly come as a shock.

“God bless Donald Trump. Gas is gonna be cheaper. Taxes is gonna be lower and life is gonna be great,” he wrote in part. “This is the best day of my life.” What do you think of DJ Akademiks’ reaction to Donald Trump winning the 2024 U.S. Presidential election?

Fani Willis Wins Reelection Despite Brutal Night For Democrats

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor known for bringing charges against former President Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election as well as spearheading the case against Young Thug and his YSL associates, has won her bid for reelection in Fulton County as the District Attorney. In doing so, she defeated Republican challenger Courtney Kramer. Fulton County, which is home to much of Atlanta, has been a Democratic stronghold in the state of Georgia.

Despite the victory for Willis, it was a rough night overall for the Democratic party. Donald Trump declared victory by 2:30 AM, EST after the Associated Press called that he clinched at least 277 electoral college votes, passing the threshold for victory. During that speech, he promised to usher in a “golden age of America,” while labeling his campaign the “greatest political movement of all time.”

Cardi B is far from the only celebrity to share her take on Trump’s win, however. 50 Cent took to Instagram with his reaction this morning, which was far different from Cardi’s. “I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner sh*t,” he captioned some photos of him and Trump. “I still don’t know what’s going on congratulations! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” Lil Pump, who’s been a vocal supporter of Trump for some time now is also trending on X for his reaction.

“God bless Donald Trump. Gas is gonna be cheaper. Taxes is gonna be lower and life is gonna be great,” he wrote in one Tweet.

Donald Trump accepted victory in the 2024 Presidential Election with a speech in front of his supporters at his Mar-a-Lago election watch party in Florida just before 2:30 AM, EST on Wednesday.

We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders. We’re going to fix everything about our country and we’ve made history for a reason tonight.

CNN projects that former President Donald Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, securing a return to the White House. This victory marks Trump’s comeback four years after his loss in 2020, a contested election that involved efforts to overturn results, two impeachments, a criminal conviction, and numerous charges. Trump has now become the only second president in U.S. history to win two nonconsecutive terms.

In a speech before the race was officially called, Trump promised a “golden age of America,” focusing on economic growth and immigration reform—often repeating disputed claims. Trump also celebrated Republicans’ projected control of the Senate, reinforcing his party’s strengthened position in government.

Vice President Harris, expected to address the nation later today, campaigned on new leadership, reproductive rights, and caution against a second Trump term, which her campaign warned could pose significant risks. Although Harris’ team was confident about her path to 270 electoral votes, the loss leaves them asking for time to reflect on their campaign’s strengths and challenges.

“We ask that the Harris campaign be given space to assess this tremendous outcome,” said a campaign source.
