Good morning, Wake Up Right fam. Today, we close the chapter on a wild year. The GOP primaries, the sham Trump trials, two assassination attempts, the mutiny of Joe Biden, the rise and fall of Kamala's 'brat' campaign, and then... Victory. Sweet victory.

I took a look back at last year’s New Year’s Eve newsletter and smiled reading this line:

• “I can’t believe we’re closing out our third year living under the Biden regime. By most measures, it’s worse than we ever expected. But the good news is we’ll have the opportunity to right this ship in 11 months.”

We righted the ship, my friends. 🇺🇸 

Housekeeping: There will be no newsletter tomorrow. We’re back on Thursday, full steam ahead into 2025 and the second Trump term.

• 📣 Trump endorsed Mike Johnson as House Speaker

• 🇺🇦 Joe Biden sent another $5.9 billion to Ukraine

• 🌎️ U.S. population will reach 341 million on January 1

• 📈 770,000 Americans were homeless in 2024, up 18%

• 🦠 5 years ago today, China confirmed dozens of COVID infections
