The US presidential election saw a surprising result: Donald Trump was projected as the winner, reaching the milestone of 279 electoral votes. This marks a historic moment, as Trump becomes the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms since Dem Stephen Grover Cleveland.
Trump has passed the crucial threshold of 270 electoral votes needed for victory, with 276 votes confirmed so far. A significant victory in the state of Wisconsin contributed to this success. The popular vote also appears to favor Trump, with about 68 million votes (51%) against Kamala Harris’s 63 million (47%), the Guardian reported. In addition, financial markets reacted positively: Tesla shares rose in pre-market trading on Wall Street, thanks to Elon Musk’s support for Trump’s campaign. Analysts point to Tesla as one of the main beneficiaries of the election outcome.
“This campaign has been historic. We are the party of common sense,” Trump said in his victory speech, vowing to keep his promises and focus on border security.
In his speech at the Palm Beach Convention Center, Trump described his victory as “the greatest comeback in American history.” He stressed the importance of returning to “peace” and freedom of thought, while ensuring that he would not start new wars. With his reelection, Trump faces a host of challenges both internally and externally. His administration will have to manage the expectations of supporters and address the growing political divisions in the country.
“This is a magnificent victory that will allow us to Make America Great Again,” said the president-elect, promising a new beginning for the United States. As the country prepares to embark on this new era under Trump, it remains to be seen how he will handle the crucial issues that lie ahead. His return to the White House could mark a significant shift in American politics and the global landscape.
