PHOTOS: Stark contrast between Harris and Trump supporters as election margin becomes razor thin

As election night progressed, Americans were fixated on results trickling in, their faces giving way to despair or celebration as states were called for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.

As election night progressed, Americans were fixated on results trickling in, their faces giving way to despair or celebration as states were called for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.

Trump supporters were ecstatic at a campaign watch party in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Harris supporters looked on in dismay when it was announced she would not speak at a campaign watch party on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C.

It was all smiles and hugs at some watch parties when it was announced Trump won Georgia, a state that he lost by just under 12,000 votes in 2020.

That was a stark contrast with Democratic supporters, who could only bury their faces in their hands as Trump continued to gain ground in states that President Joe Biden won four years before.

Fresh calls to reverse DWP Winter Fuel Payment cut as pensioners ‘could die’

A new petition has been launched calling for changes to the Winter Fuel Payment eligibility to be reversed warning pensioners could die as a result of the policy.

The payment previously went out to most people of state pension age, but you now have to also be on a means-tested benefit to get the support, meaning millions of people will no longer get the payment, worth £200 or £300 this year.

A petition has been launched on the Parliament petition website urging for the policy to revert to the its previous eligibility criteria.

The petition reads: “We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately.

“We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.”

You can read the petition in full here. At the time of writing, the petition has been signed by around 1,400 people.

Under the new rules, you need to be one of these benefits to get the Winter Fuel Payment:

Pension Credit

Universal Credit

income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)

Income Support

Child Tax Credit

Working Tax Credit.

If you are set to lose out on the payment this year, it’s worth checking if you can claim Pension Credit, as this is a hugely underclaimed benefit.

The benefit provides an income top-up to support people a low income, providing a top-up up to £218.15 a week if you’re single or up to £332.95 if you have a partner.

People who earn above these amounts may still be eligible, as there are additional payments depending on your circumstances, such as if you care for another adult.

Claiming the support opens up access to a host of other Government support, including free TV licences for those aged 75 and over.

People on the benefit can also get council tax discounts and help with NHS dental treatment and other healthcare.

The bad politics of immigration: Crackdowns help no one and hurt all of us

Immigration and the 50 million people in this country who were foreign born have been an unfair target for both political parties in this election. America needs immigrants and the economy would fall apart without their work.
