Donald Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election.
Trump has emerged as the winner after defeating his opponent from the Democratic Party, Mrs. Kamala Harris.
The Republican candidate won a decisive victory against Kamala Harris, which allows him to return to the presidency of the United States.
Trump, who won the 2016 election and lost the 2020 election, took the lead over Harris, who replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee more than 100 days ago.
According to estimates, Trump won in the key states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which allowed him to pass the minimum of 270 electoral votes that returned him to the presidency.
“This is a great victory for the American people that will allow us to make America Great Again,” Trump said before the official confirmation as he declared himself the winner in a speech in Florida in front of his supporters and surrounded by his family and his running mate. , Senator JD Vance.
“We’re going to help heal our country,” said the 78-year-old Republican.
“The United States has given us unprecedented and powerful powers,” he added.
Harris’ campaign announced hours earlier that the candidate would not speak while the votes were being counted.
Trump is the second president to serve two consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland in the 19th century.
Trump has overcome all legal controversies and is returning to the White House that he left in January 2021 shortly after his supporters stormed Capitol Hill on the day that Biden’s victory was confirmed by a defeat that he never accepted.
Now he is back with anti-immigration slogans and promises to improve the economy after years of inflation.
His proposals include mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, an end to what he calls “occupation” of the country and an end to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East.
With this victory and by confirming the victory in his strongholds, such as Texas and Florida, for example, he reached the required 270 votes, pending the announcement of the results of other states that will not reduce anything.
His victory is of a greater scale than that of 2016, because unlike 2016 against Clinton, Trump has also been able to win the popular vote.
“He is a 78-year-old man facing four criminal cases (one has been convicted and is awaiting sentencing in three weeks), many civil cases, insults to various groups of people and many other scandals,” says Gary O’Donoghue, American BBC correspondent.
“Returning to the White House for a second term is a remarkable achievement in political matters,” he added.
Trump will also have the advantage of the Republican party regaining control of the Senate, which was in the hands of the Democrats, a move that will allow him to advance his political agenda.
