Donald Trump Wins 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

Donald J. Trump has won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, securing a second non-consecutive term in the White House. Trump, running as the Republican nominee, defeated the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, in a closely contested race that has captivated the nation and the world. Trump is projected to have secured at least the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to return to the White House for a second time after his 2017-2021 term, The Associated Press says.

Trump’s win came after a nail-biting election night, with key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona playing decisive roles. As the final votes were tallied, Trump surpassed the necessary 270 electoral votes, claiming victory despite strong challenges from the Harris campaign and a highly polarised political landscape
