In a historic turn of events, Donald Trump has made an extraordinary comeback, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris to reclaim the White House, according to CNN projections. Trump’s projected win in battleground Wisconsin has pushed him over the threshold with 276 electoral votes, even as counting continues in some key states.
Key Points of This Historic Moment:
- Unprecedented Comeback: Trump’s return to the presidency comes four years after a contentious loss in 2020. His journey back has been marked by two presidential impeachments, numerous criminal charges, a conviction, and an unyielding base of supporters. Trump now becomes only the second president in U.S. history to serve two nonconsecutive terms.
- A Speech to Supporters: Before the race was officially called, Trump addressed his supporters, promising to usher in what he described as a “golden age of America.” He emphasized economic growth and stricter immigration policies as central to his agenda, while Republicans celebrate a projected Senate majority.
A Pivotal Moment for American Democracy: Trump’s victory will likely have profound consequences, shaping the political landscape for years to come. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to speak later today.
