Former President Donald Trump has been projected to win the U.S. presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump secured key swing states, including Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, surpassing the required 270 electoral votes to clinch the presidency.
In his victory speech at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, Trump addressed supporters, promising to address national issues such as border security. This marks a historic political comeback, making Trump the second U.S. president, after Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms.
The Republican Party also regained control of the Senate, flipping seats in Ohio and West Virginia, which will significantly influence future legislative and judicial appointments.
Vice President Harris’ campaign faced challenges, including distancing from President Biden’s low approval ratings and addressing concerns over economic and immigration policies. Despite efforts to mobilize suburban voters, Harris was unable to secure enough support in critical battleground states.
The election results underscore the nation’s deep political divisions and set the stage for significant policy shifts under the forthcoming Trump administration.
