In a historic comeback, former U.S. President Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, securing a return to the White House after his initial defeat in 2020. Major U.S. news outlets, including CNN, confirmed Trump’s victory early Wednesday, marking a significant political milestone in modern American history.
Trump’s win was solidified after surpassing the required 270 electoral votes, a benchmark needed to claim the presidency. With Wisconsin’s electoral results finalized, Trump amassed a total of 276 electoral votes, comfortably securing the victory against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Harris, who currently holds 219 electoral votes, is expected to deliver her concession speech soon, acknowledging the Republican’s successful bid.
Trump’s triumph makes him the first U.S. president in more than a century to secure non-consecutive terms, despite a controversial path marked by two assassination attempts and a prior criminal conviction. Many analysts are calling this a historic return to power, further emphasizing Trump’s resilience and influence within the Republican base and beyond.
CNN reported, “Former President Donald Trump will defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in a historic political comeback, recapturing the White House following an election loss in 2020.” This victory has stirred conversations across the political spectrum, as Americans prepare for another four years under Trump’s leadership.
