TODAY'S TOP STORIES:
Former President Donald Trump is poised to return to the White House following a historic election defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump won key battleground states, including Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, and secured more than enough electoral votes to capture the presidency.
Late Tuesday night, after numerous projections showed Trump as the winner, he addressed the nation.
"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” he said.
Harris, who held a watch party in Washington, D.C., did not immediately speak after many results projected a Trump victory. She was expected to address the election results later on Wednesday.

CONSUMER:
City of San Diego and county voters on Election Day largely rejected measures that would raise sales taxes, according to early returns.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and the City Council had supported Measure E, saying the city needed more revenue, especially for transportation issues.
Measure E, if passed by voters, would increase the sales tax in the city by 1 percent to 8.75%.
Meanwhile, countywide voters have mostly decided against Measure G.
If passed, Measure G was expected to generate $350 million a year, and half of the money would be dedicated to roads and highway projects.
