Election Results, Explained.

Your kids have been hearing about the presidential election for months…and the votes are in! Watch the show for more on Trump’s win - and ALL the election results from Tuesday.

‘I Voted’ stickers were everywhere this week. Watch the show to find out more about their history and meet a 12-year-old from Michigan who won a contest to design her own version of the sticker!

We know Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States. But what does a president actually do every day? We have more on what the day-to-day job is really like. Watch here!

We talked to Erin Geiger Smith, author of ‘Thank You For Voting’ about what happens between now and the Inauguration in January 2025 — and some fun facts about voting! Like this one…

“You used to have to be older than 21 [to vote] but in 1971 there was a constitutional amendment that changed the voting age to 18, and that came after a lot of young people really pushed for that. At the time the United States was involved in wars, or had recently been involved, and young people really felt like they should have a voice in that.”

You can find the young reader’s edition of her book here!

Elections aren’t just for adults. Students at P.S. 36 - a Staten Island elementary school - held their own student government elections this week. Watch here to find out the results…and click here to hear from the students on what they look for in a leader!
