(PatriotNews.net) – Former President Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, making history by becoming the first person since Grover Cleveland to win back the Oval Office after losing a reelection bid. Trump, who was the 45th president, will now be the 47th. His victory was clinched with a key win in Pennsylvania, one of the pivotal states he had also won in 2016.
Vice President Kamala Harris did well with women voters, but her support among young and urban voters wasn’t enough to hold back the Republican momentum. As ballots continued to be counted early Wednesday, the final results for some states were still pending, and control of Congress wasn’t fully decided. The Senate flipped to Republican control, while the House’s fate depends on tight races in places like California.
Trump’s victory came sooner than many experts predicted. Some thought the final count might take days, but it was called earlier than expected, possibly due to Trump’s surprising popularity in big states like California. Analysts even suggest he may have won the national popular vote, which he had lost in his previous two campaigns. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, will take office as one of the youngest vice presidents in U.S. history, showing that the “Make America Great Again” movement may be here to stay.
Trump’s comeback has been called one of the greatest in American political history. Not only did he overcome his 2020 loss, but he also faced multiple legal battles, censorship on social media, and even two assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, who stepped in after Joe Biden dropped out due to health concerns, became only the second female candidate in history to lose a presidential race. She focused much of her campaign on abortion rights but struggled to connect with key groups outside major cities.
Trump, despite controversy around his age and the events of January 6, ran a surprisingly disciplined campaign. He reached out to groups that Republicans don’t traditionally attract, including Black, Hispanic, and Muslim voters. Even though some legal battles may follow, and Democrats may try to challenge Trump’s eligibility under the Fourteenth Amendment, he’s now President-elect Trump once again.
