Early Wednesday morning, Fox News declared Trump the victor after he triumphed over Vice President Kamala Harris, flipping key battleground states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Trump’s victory marks an extraordinary comeback, having reversed his 2020 losses and gaining significant ground among both his traditional white, rural, and working-class base, and increasingly among ethnic minority voters.
With his Electoral College landslide, the former president now joins Grover Cleveland as the only president in U.S. history to be elected to two non-consecutive terms.
While Republicans celebrated their triumph, reclaiming control of the Senate, the fate of the House of Representatives remains uncertain.
As the nation digests this unprecedented shift, many are still trying to understand the full scope of this political upheaval, as Harris, the Democratic nominee, watched her campaign collapse in a stunning repeat of 2016’s election night drama.
In the midst of rallies, media frenzy, and personal controversies—including multiple criminal indictments and attempted assassination plots—Trump proved his unrelenting appeal, ultimately overcoming the odds for a remarkable second act in the White House.
