Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States.
Trump’s victory, secured by a narrow win in the battleground state of Wisconsin, marks the culmination of a remarkable political resurgence for the former president, who had refused to concede defeat in 2020 and was subsequently impeached for inciting the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
In the intervening years, Trump had also been convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. Yet, he managed to rally his devoted base of supporters and position himself as the Republican Party’s standard-bearer for a second shot at the presidency.
“We will not rest until we have delivered the strong and prosperous America,” Trump declared in his victory speech at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida.
The 2024 election result underscores the deep political divisions that continue to define the American electorate, with Trump’s populist, America First message resonating powerfully with working-class voters in the Rust Belt and other swing states.
His return to the Oval Office sets the stage for a tumultuous and potentially polarizing second term, as Trump vows to pursue a hard-line agenda on issues ranging from immigration to trade and foreign policy.
Political analysts and commentators will undoubtedly scrutinise the factors that enabled Trump’s remarkable political comeback, as the nation braces for the implications of his renewed grip on executive power.
