Trump wins presidency as global anti-incumbency trend reshapes politics

Donald Trump has won the presidency, defeating Kamala Harris, marking a shift in U.S. politics where incumbents face increasing challenges. This is the fourth consecutive term of alternating party control, a trend not seen since the late 1800s. The anti-incumbency sentiment is evident globally, with significant electoral changes in countries like the UK, Argentina, India, and Japan. While some incumbents have succeeded, many long-standing parties have lost power, reflecting a broader political volatility. Trump's victory comes despite low approval ratings during his previous term. Economic conditions and public dissatisfaction with incumbents have contributed to this trend, suggesting a growing impatience among voters for change in leadership.
