In a remarkable turn of events, Donald Trump has been declared the President-elect after securing a series of victories in key battleground states. Addressing supporters from Mar-a-Lago, Trump heralded the results as the dawn of a “golden age for America” and reiterated his commitment to his longstanding slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
Trump’s political journey saw him first ascend to the presidency in 2016, followed by a loss to Joe Biden in 2020 amidst the global coronavirus pandemic. However, his 2024 campaign, under the banner “Make America Great Once Again,” has culminated in a successful bid for the White House, surpassing the required 270 electoral votes with wins in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
The confirmation of Trump’s victory came after Fox News announced his win in Wisconsin, a state that had eluded him in the previous election. Pennsylvania, a pivotal state identified by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign as crucial for electoral success, also fell in Trump’s favor, marking a significant milestone in his comeback. Additionally, his triumph in Georgia stands as a particularly sweet victory, considering his narrow defeat there in 2020.
