Donald Trump secured victory in the U.S. Presidential election early Wednesday morning. His win was confirmed when projections indicated that he had surpassed the 270-electoral vote threshold required for a majority. Trump faced significant competition from Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Second term for Donald Trump
Trump currently holds 277 electoral votes, while Harris has accumulated 224. To win the presidency, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes. This election is being regarded as one of the most significant in recent U.S. history.
Trump, who served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021, has become the first U.S. president to reclaim the White House after a non-consecutive term in over a century. He previously lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Harris has been serving as vice president since January 2021.
Several key battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, played a pivotal role in determining the outcome. However, Trump prevailed in most of the swing states, securing his victory with a few states still awaiting results.
