Republican candidate Donald Trump has clinched the Electoral College victory by winning the state of Wisconsin against Kamala Harris, making him the 47th President of the United States. He also triumphed in other key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and others, whereas Democrat Kamala Harris has secured victories in only 20 states thus far as projections continue to come in. The tallying of votes is currently taking place in the remaining counties. Trump is on track to assume the presidency after winning critical swing states, which has increased his electoral vote count to 277.
The 2024 United States presidential election has become one of the most turbulent and uncertain in recent times. With Trump facing a courtroom conviction, narrowly escaping a bullet, a heated debate that put incumbent President Joe Biden’s aspirations of returning to the White House in jeopardy, and Kamala Harris’s surprise nomination at the last moment, the campaign has been filled with extraordinary occurrences that attracted worldwide interest and made headlines beyond the borders of America.
Kamala Harris, potentially could have become the first woman president if she could have won. During the campaign she promised to tackle economic challenges and urgent matters through cross-party collaboration, intending to largely follow the direction established by President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Donald Trump had vowed to replace numerous federal employees with loyal supporters, impose extensive tariffs on both allies and adversaries, and execute the largest deportation operation ever seen in the United States.
