While next year’s forecast isn’t as dire as some elected officials had feared, Democrats and Republicans say the projected increase is more than many homeowners can bear.

In 2020, President Biden won six of the seven closely watched states. This year, President-elect Donald Trump won all seven — plus is on track to win a majority of the popular vote, according to AP.

Trump has repeatedly vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the United States illegally. That population includes approximately 1,500 immigrants living and working on Vermont’s dairy farms, many of whom have resided in the state for more than a decade.

Senate Democrats, who will maintain a slim majority in the chamber next year despite losing six seats on Election Day, say the first week of the 2025 legislative session will be devoted to plans for property tax relief from the administration of Republican Gov. Phil Scott.

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said he was able to work effectively with the last Trump administration, despite his outspoken criticism of the president. And he said he expects the same will be true over the next four years.

Vermont saw record total voter turnout in the 2024 general election, the Secretary of State says.

Vermonters showed up to polling places on Tuesday to cast their ballots in national and statewide races. Here are some scenes from Election Day and the night that followed as results rolled in.

A well-funded electioneering operation bankrolled by Gov. Phil Scott helped Republicans capitalize on voter disaffection over the rising cost of living in Vermont.

The incumbent said he would not be seeking a recount — but stopped short of saying the Legislature, which gets the final say, should send the top vote-getter, Republican John Rodgers, to Montpelier.
