Donald Trump has been elected president again, defeating Kamala Harris and securing over 270 Electoral College votes. His victory marks a significant comeback after losing the presidency in 2020. Trump’s win was bolstered by support from voters concerned about the economy and immigration. Harris, who campaigned on a platform of protecting democracy, struggled to gain enough support. Her campaign faced challenges, including a late start after President Biden withdrew from the race. Trump’s rhetoric during the campaign intensified political divisions. Trump's presidency is expected to impact U.S. policies on trade, immigration, and law enforcement. He has indicated plans to reshape the executive branch and prioritize loyalty in his administration. Inauguration Day is set for January 20, 2025.
