Donald J Trump Elected the 47th President of the US — ‘A much needed victory for the world’

President Donald Trump has been reelected to his non-consecutive second term. He is only the second president to have achieved that after Grover Cleveland. He will be inaugurated on 20 January, and he will become the 45th and 47th POTUS.

President Trump from the Republican party is projected to win with 312 electoral votes. He is likely to sweep all seven swing states: North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have already been called for him by the Associated Press; and he is leading in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona. Unlike in 2020, there are a lot fewer mail-in ballots left to be counted that would swing those states to the Democrats.

He is currently up in the popular vote by 3.6 points, as of the time of writing this, so he is also set to become the first Republican to win the popular vote in a presidential election since George W Bush in 2004.

President Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party. She has yet to make a concession speech. However, she did reportedly make the traditional concession phone call to the winning candidate. Harris also refused to come out to address her supporters gathered at Howard University in Washington DC—just like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not talk to her supporters after her loss to Donald Trump back in 2016.

President Trump, on the other hand, was evidently very happy to make his speech to his supporters in Palm Beach, Florida.

‘This was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before. And, frankly, I believe this was the greatest political movement of all time…And now it’s gonna reach a new level of importance because we are going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help. And it needs help very badly. We’re gonna fix our borders, we’re gonna fix everything about our country…This will truly be the golden age of America…Many people have told me that God had spared my life for a reason…It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It’s time to unite…Success will bring us together,’ President (and now President-elect) Trump said on the stage at his campaign headquarters, surrounded by his friends and family.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary has congratulated his long-time ally on the social media site X for his great victory.
