Donald Trump has won the U.S. presidential election, becoming the nation's 47th president in a remarkable return to office. This victory comes four years after a contentious defeat that he refused to accept, which led to a violent Capitol insurrection. Since then, Trump has faced felony convictions and survived two assassination attempts.
Trump secured the necessary 270 electoral votes with a critical win in Wisconsin. During his victory speech in Palm Beach, Florida, he promised to pursue a vision of a "strong and prosperous America." His campaign took a hardline stance, often marked by personal attacks on his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, and a harsh depiction of the country’s immigration issues. Trump’s forceful rhetoric and appeals to masculinity struck a chord with many voters, especially men, in an increasingly divided nation.
As he steps into office, Trump has pledged a transformative agenda focused on reshaping federal government operations and exacting retribution against those he views as adversaries.
