Donald Trump Elected 47th President of the United States

November 6, 2024

Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, completing an extraordinary political comeback. With his victory in Wisconsin, Trump secured the 270 electoral votes needed to reclaim the White House, just four years after losing to Joe Biden. The former president’s return to power marks a stunning reversal after his 2020 defeat and surviving two assassination attempts.

On Wednesday afternoon, Trump extended his lead by winning Michigan, sweeping the critical “blue wall” of battleground states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — that had flipped to Biden in 2020. These states, once considered key Democratic strongholds, all swung back to Trump, echoing his surprising 2016 victory.

Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, called the former president to concede the race and offer her congratulations. Shortly after, President Biden also phoned Trump to acknowledge the defeat and invited him to the White House for the formal transition of power. Biden’s call marked the official beginning of the transition process ahead of Inauguration Day, with both Biden and Harris wishing Trump success.

Trump’s win is a historic moment in American politics, signaling not only a personal comeback but also the persistence of his political movement in shaping the future of the Republican Party. As the nation braces for the upcoming transition, all eyes will be on how Trump moves forward with his agenda in the months ahead.
