Donald Trump has made history with a triumphant return to the White House, defeating Kamala Harris and securing a second, non-consecutive term as U.S. President.
With 270 electoral votes reached, Trump joins an exclusive list of presidents who have returned to office after a break, mirroring only Grover Cleveland’s unique path.
The nail-biting race saw Trump clinch North Carolina as his first swing state, followed shortly by victories in Georgia and Pennsylvania, the latter being hailed as the most crucial of all battleground states.
In a critical final push, he captured Wisconsin, crossing the 270-vote mark and effectively sealing his victory.
With cheers echoing in Palm Beach, Trump addressed an enthusiastic crowd, vowing to “heal and help” America. “Tonight, we have made history.
We’re going to usher in a golden age for America,” he proclaimed, as chants of “USA, USA, USA!” filled the air. In his victory speech.
Trump promised bold actions, including strengthening borders and revitalizing the nation.
His win also tipped the Senate in favour of the Republicans, heightening his mandate and giving him a powerful platform for his renewed presidency.
