Donald Trump wins U.S. presidency, highlighting global rise in anti-incumbency sentiment

Donald Trump has won the U.S. presidency, defeating Kamala Harris. This marks a significant shift in U.S. politics, with alternating party control for four consecutive terms, a trend not seen since the late 1800s. Anti-incumbency sentiments are rising globally, affecting democracies in the UK, Argentina, and other countries. Recent elections have seen established parties lose power, challenging traditional political patterns. Despite economic growth under Joe Biden, dissatisfaction with incumbents has increased. Analysts suggest that the pandemic and inflation have turned incumbency into a liability, leading voters to seek change.
