Hillary Clinton’s Lead In Popular Vote Could Grow To More Than 2 Million

Young Gospel Artist Shares ‘Live’ Recording Session With Bay Area
Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote is continuing to grow—and it will likely grow more.
Estimates from Saturday indicate that Clinton could have 1.8 million more votes than President-elect Don- ald Trump and hundreds of thousands of votes still need to be counted in California and Washington, states known for voting Democrat, according to the Huffington Post.
Last Thursday, the Los An- geles Times reported that 4 million votes still needed to be counted in California.
The Atlantic reported Sat- urday that 700,000 votes still needed to be counted in Washington state.
By the time all votes are counted, The New York Times estimates that Clin- ton will lead by more than 2 million votes and more than 1.5 percentage points.
“She will have won by a wider percentage margin than not only Al Gore in 2000, but also Richard Nixon in 1968 and John F. Kennedy in 1960,” writes David Leon- hardt, of the Times.
David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Re-

port, told the Atlantic that Clinton could lead by as many as 2 percentage points in the popular vote when all votes are counted.
On Fox News, Alan Der- showitz, a scholar on U. S. Constitutional law, com- mented on the Times’ esti- mate in a story on Sunday: “This may turn out to be an exaggeration, but she certainly won the popular vote.”
The last official count indi- cated Clinton was leading the popular vote by about 600,000.
While the popular vote re- veals interesting information about the overall feelings of voters, the Electoral College picks the president and Trump won the Electoral College, taking 290 votes to Clinton’s 228.

currently of Riverview. Bishop Washington is pas- tor of the newly dedicated, New Season Apostolic Min- istries.
A BET Sunday Best audi- tion finalist, and WORD Net- work featured artist, Darius not only sings, but he is a songwriter, musician, pro- ducer, preacher and entrepre- neur.
As an entrepreneur, Washington is Founder and Executive Director of State of the Arts Academy, Atlanta’s premier Childcare Center for Performing Arts. And, his new
production banner is Corner- stone Productions, whose goal is to deliver media content through music, television, film and various other plat- forms.
“Over 7 years ago, my music ministry started right here in Tampa Bay. The com- munity watched me grow from singing in local school plays and nursing homes to now being featured on inter- national television and radio syndicated shows,” Darius explained.
His vocal ability equals his musicianship which encom- passes proficiency on the piano, organ, guitar, bass and drums.
His most recent single, “I Love To Praise” was written by Washington and pro- duced by Terry and Simeon Baker of Baker Brothers’ Music. Joining him on this production is BET Sunday Best Season 5 finalist, Alexis Spight.
Washington says he’s looking forward to seeing all his friends and musicians on Friday evening in New Port Richey.
