2024 Presidential Election

Kodak Black appears to be out the $200K he ponied up after his West Palm Beach charity event was suddenly canceled ... and he suspects it's all due to Donald Trump's election victory.

Here's the deal ... KB over a month ago locked in a deal to host an event at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches to ring in Kodak Black Day, which is Nov. 11. Then, on Wednesday ... law enforcement and event organizers canned it ... claiming no bandwidth to host the event, saying security was a major concern.

Bradford Cohen, Kodak's lawyer, tells TMZ ... he suspects all this is political, since it is well known the rapper is an avid Trump supporter -- and DT just won a historic second WH term.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's daughter Hope Walz took a breather from her TV binge and mac and cheese session to serve up her post-election thoughts -- safe to say, she’s feeling pretty fired up!

Hope didn’t hold back in her TikTok rant Thursday, giving major props to VP Kamala Harris despite the election loss. Proud as she is of her dad, she was speaking as a Kamala stan, saying after this outcome, she’s convinced the country doesn’t deserve someone as fierce as her.

Hope said after the election let-down, Kamala should just go live her best life -- and also threw some major shade at Trump and his VP-elect J.D. Vance, saying they have to live with themselves at the end of the day -- which in her eyes is punishment enough.

Donald Trump is on his way back to the White House ... and his former chef hopes he cuts back on the crap and really takes eating healthier seriously.

Chef Andre Rush tells TMZ ... 78-year-old Trump is not the man he was in 2016, and it is imperative he eats better to make sure he's as healthy as possible for his age, and the demands of the job.

And, if DT is not going to do it on his own ... it's up to the kitchen staff to get creative when it comes to meals -- basically, tricking him into eating healthier via tasty dishes, AR tells us.

Joe Rogan has some advice for President-elect Donald Trump for his next term — don't attack the Dems!

Rogan was chatting with comedian Dave Smith on his popular podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," when the two got on the subject of Trump's second term.

During Thursday's episode, Rogan first rattled off all the things Trump could do for the country with the help of his supporters ... such as billionaire mogul Elon Musk and former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

John Hinckley Jr. has seen the vile and hateful comments from X users asking him to harm President-elect Donald Trump ... and he is telling them to knock it off!

As TMZ reported ... the would-be Ronald Reagan assassin posted a harmless post to the social media platform on Wednesday, telling followers to check out his website of music and art ... the post was quickly inundated with users asking John to harm Trump.

And even though we were told local and federal authorities were aware of the comments ... again, John did nothing wrong ... it seems the requests for violence -- joking or not -- did not stop.

Donald Trump's victory lap after beating Kamala Harris might just include a stop at UFC 309 ... as Michael Chandler tells TMZ Sports he's under the impression the president-elect will be there next weekend.

Chandler -- who's fighting Charles Oliveira on the card's co-main event -- says one of the last times he talked to Trump in the leadup to Tuesday's election, The Don told him he'd show up to the Nov. 16 fight night at Madison Square Garden if he beat Harris on Nov 5.

"He said, 'I'll either be there on Nov. 16 because we won the election, or if I lost, I'll be depressed and I won't show up,'" Chandler told us.

Nicole Scherzinger is catching flak online ... all because she posted a supportive reply to a Russell Brand post about Donald Trump winning the election.

The Pussycat Dolls singer seems to have pissed a lot of folks after asking Russell where to get a red hat with "Make Jesus First Again" stitched on the front.

Russell shared the hat on social media in the wake of Trump's big election win ... and it looks a lot like Trump's red Make America Great Again hats ... with a religious twist.

Plies filed an explosive lawsuit yesterday accusing Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B and Soulja Boy of infringing on one of his catalog cuts ... his attorney says its arrival right after the election was just a coincidence!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to Walter Mosley, Esq., on Thursday about his representation of Plies in the suit centered around the Florida rapper's 2008 song "Me & My Goons."

There's since been a new challenger approaching the conversation ... Megan's "Wanna Be" producer LilJuMadeDaBeat lashed out at the lawsuit, claiming his squad sampled Soujla Boy fair and square.

Consequence and Chuck D are fired up this post-election after the poll results didn't go in their favor and firing at America with a lyrical blast about the treatment of its Black citizens!!!

In their new video "What Has America Done," Black people are depicted with their backs up against the wall, as Cons questions their position in the country going into President Donald Trump's new term ... "So what has America done for me? / Push the goal line further? / Accuse me of murder? / Fed me French fries and burgers?"

Chuck D tells TMZ Hip Hop the cyberbullying "bots" this election rival Jim Crow actions ... "Avatars like they’re the new Klan hoodies -- the more things change, the more they stay the SAME!!!"

3:09 PM PT -- Elon Musk has responded to his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson's desire to leave the U.S.A. over Donald Trump's election win ... by reissuing his controversial opinion about her gender identity.

As Vivian's reaction to the election results went viral, Elon posted on X and claimed "the woke mind virus killed [his] son."

The Tesla CEO expressed a similar sentiment over the summer, when he claimed that Vivian had been brainwashed by left-wing propaganda leading to her transition ... which he dubbed the "woke mind virus."

Looks like these two won't be making amends any time soon.

Elon Musk's estranged daughter says she's bailing on the U.S.A. ... 'cause even though Donald Trump's presidency will only last 4 years, the people who voted for him are here to stay.

Vivian Jenna Wilson -- the 20-year-old transgender daughter who the controversial billionaire once said was "killed by the woke mind virus" -- claims she's moving out of the country after Trump's second presidential victory.

Wilson took to Threads to explain her choice ... telling her followers she's given the decision a ton of thought -- and, ultimately, she doesn't see a future for herself in the United States.

Madonna is eating her feelings after her candidate lost the presidential election ... as in, she's chowing down on a "F*** TRUMP" cake.

The "Like a Virgin" singer just reacted to Donald Trump's election victory with a post on social media, showing a sweet dessert with "F*** TRUMP" written on top of the icing.

Madonna says she "stuffed my face with this cake" on Wednesday night ... after Vice President Kamala Harris officially conceded the 2024 election to Trump.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is finally weighing in on the 2024 U.S. election, extending his congratulations to Donald Trump on his victory and commending his courage after surviving his July assassination attempt.

At an international forum in Sochi Thursday, Putin shared his admiration for Trump, saying, "His behavior at the moment of an attempt on his life left an impression on me. He turned out to be a brave man."

The Russian leader added ... "He manifested himself in the very correct way, bravely as a man."

There's been heavy speculation as to why Kamala Harris got trounced at the polls by Donald Trump, and DJ Vlad says he has the answers ... her media savvy SUCKED!!!

As many Americans are coming to grips with the election results, Vlad ripped both Kamala and Tim Walz caps for passing on VladTV interviews he offered to help get their political promises out to the masses.

Vlad says KH's campaign essentially lost the election by NOT sitting for an interview on his platform -- even after pressing her team for months!!!

Sunny Hostin's placing the blame for Donald Trump's presidential victory squarely at the feet of white women without college degrees ... basically saying they're too dumb to realize they voted against their own reproductive rights.

The talk show host broke down election results alongside her costars on "The View" Wednesday ... and, she said while Black women and Latinas tried to save the country, "uneducated" white women and Latino men ultimately tossed the election to the Republican president-elect.

Hostin says 52% of "uneducated" white women -- meaning women without college degrees -- voted for Trump ... in direct contradiction to the right to an abortion, according to SH.

Donald Trump's election win is already having ripple effects for some of the world's richest men ... with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos seeing major increases to their respective net worth.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, both the Tesla CEO and the Amazon chairman saw impressive boosts to their wealth ... with Musk's net worth rising by $26.5 billion and Bezos' bringing in an additional $7.1 billion.

This means Elon and Jeff are reportedly now worth $290B and $228B, respectively. Of course, they aren't the only business magnates to see wins when the markets closed Wednesday.

President Joe Biden spoke out Thursday after Donald Trump emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election ... addressing the nation in the wake of Trump's historic win.

The POTUS delivered his remarks after a raucous reception from the crowd in the Rose Garden at the White House. He preached a message of unity ... telling people to love the country even if their candidate didn't win, and love their neighbor even if they disagree on policy.

He also shot down any conspiracy theories regarding election fraud, and promised a peaceful transition of power in January.
