In a historic political comeback, Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. This victory marks Trump as the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland.
Trump secured key battleground states, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, surpassing the 270 electoral votes required for victory. His campaign resonated with white rural and working-class voters, as well as ethnic minorities, contributing to his success.
In his victory speech in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump pledged to “heal and fix the country, including its borders.”
Vice President Harris has called Trump to concede and is expected to deliver a concession speech later today.
The election also saw Republicans projected to regain control of the Senate, while the House of Representatives remains undecided.
New York Post International reactions include congratulations from leaders such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump’s return to the White House is anticipated to bring significant policy shifts, particularly in areas like immigration and foreign relations. His administration’s approach to these issues will be closely watched both domestically and internationally.
