In the first show since Tuesday’s presidential election, the cast of “Saturday Night Live” sarcastically praised Donald Trump for his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Justice Department plans to focus on arresting the “most egregious” Jan. 6 rioters — particularly those who committed felony assaults on law enforcement officers but have not yet been arrested — in the remaining 72 days before President-elect Donald Trump is back in the White House, a law enforcement official told NBC News this week.

The threats come as Trump campaign aides say that the president-elect considers his choice for attorney general to be his most important single appointment.

President-elect Trump’s transition team is considering ending two Biden Administration programs that have allowed more than 1.3 million immigrants to enter the U.S. legally, making those who entered but have not yet received asylum eligible for deportation, NBC News has learned.

Hours after Donald Trump’s victory winning Pennsylvania and the White House, Philadelphia Democratic Chair and former congressman Bob Brady slammed Kamala Harris’ campaign, claiming their lack of communication with him and his organization contributed to her loss. In the latest episode of Battleground Politics, Brady spoke with NBC10’s Lauren Mayk ...

A growing list of blue-state governors, including several potential 2028 contenders, are already planning legislative sessions, legal actions and other moves to fight Trump.

The race for Senate in the state of Pennsylvania still hasn’t been called by NBC News between Dave McCormick and Bob Casey. NBC10 political reporter Lauren Mayk has the latest. 

Republicans landed historic victories in Pennsylvania this week, winning the battleground state’s valuable presidential electoral votes, posting a two-seat gain in its U.S. House delegation and apparently sweeping statewide offices on the ballot. How did it happen?

Republican Dave McCormick spoke to supporters in Pittsburgh Friday as he claimed victory in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race. NBC News had not yet declared that McCormick had defeated incumbent Democrat Bob Casey.

The win by incumbent Rep. Frank Burns is the final House race to be called in a year when none of the 203 districts are changing hands. It gave Democrats a 102-101 margin and dashed Republican hopes of returning to control after two years in the minority.

Trump’s improvement compared to 2020 was driven by broad gains in most places around the state. In Philadelphia, heavily Latino neighborhoods saw the biggest shifts.

Now that Donald Trump has won the presidency, questions turn to whether he’ll face federal prosecution for the current cases he has. NBC10’s Claudia Vargas details what cases are ongoing and what is likely to happen now that he is President-elect.

Pennsylvania’s Senate race is still too close to call. Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat, currently trails Republican Dave McCormick, but both campaigns express confidence. NBC10’s Lauren Mayk has the latest on the race.
