Summary

Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. presidential election, marking a historic comeback as the first convicted criminal and the oldest person elected to the office.

His victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, who aimed to make history as the first female Black and South Asian American president, shocked observers and demonstrated enduring support for his populist, nativist platform.

Despite criminal convictions and ongoing controversies, Trump’s base remained loyal, propelling him past 270 electoral votes with a decisive win in Wisconsin.

His win raises concerns about future U.S. domestic and foreign policies, as he promises sweeping immigration crackdowns, “retribution” against political enemies, and domestic military deployments.

      It’s always someone else’s fault and never the person that abandoned, ignored and smeared huge chunks of their voter base.
