Former President Donald Trump has been re-elected as the 47th President of the United States after a decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris, pledging to heal divisions and deliver on his promises to the American people.
Former President Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States, securing what appears to be a decisive victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. The victory caps off a grueling, years-long campaign, widely regarded as one of the most challenging in U.S. political history. Following a tense night that extended into Wednesday morning, multiple networks declared Mr. Trump the winner after Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, was called in his favor. Trump also managed to win Georgia and North Carolina—states that President Joseph Biden claimed in 2020. As of 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Trump was leading in Michigan and Wisconsin, with Alaska expected to deliver the electoral votes needed to reach the 270 threshold. Trump also holds an edge in Arizona and Nevada.
Trump's return to the presidency marks one of the most remarkable comebacks in U.S. political history. Despite facing relentless attacks from the Democratic Party and surviving two assassination attempts, he has reclaimed what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. Vice President Harris ended her election night early, choosing not to address her supporters gathered at Howard University. A campaign representative stated that she would deliver remarks sometime later today.
