What Trump's win, Musk's involvement will mean for US tech
What will Donald Trump's second stint in the White House mean for a US tech industry in the throes of an artificial intelligence frenzy?

Democrats try to pick up pieces after defeat

Democrats are facing a painful reckoning over Kamala Harris's defeat at the hands of Donald Trump in the US presidential election, as shock gives way to anger and recrimination in the aftermath of a devastating repudiation. Lawmakers and strategists looking for someone to blame for Tuesday's wipeout have so far been more likely to target President Joe Biden than Harris, who is regarded as having done a decent job with the short time she had to campaign. The election night disaster -- of Trump's triumph was accompanied by a Republican "red wave" in the Senate and the increasing likelihood of control over the House.

DEMOCRATS ARE 'SOUL-SEARCHING' AFTER ELECTION LOSS

Wiles becomes first female chief of staff

Although Americans will not see their first female president in 2024, at least one woman will make a major glass-ceiling breakthrough -- the first female to serve as White House chief of staff. Donald Trump's election victory over Kamala Harris has opened the door for Susie Wiles, considered the architect of his winning campaign, to become his White House chief of staff when Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025. Wiles previously served under former President Ronald Reagan.
