Mumbai: Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States, marking a dramatic return to the White House. The Associated Press called the race for the Republican candidate early Wednesday, confirming his decisive victory over incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris.
International leaders have begun sending their congratulations, though the win could introduce further unpredictability into an already complex global landscape.
In an election that polls had predicted would be exceptionally close, Trump’s victory came with a wider-than-anticipated margin. The former president secured crucial wins in battleground states, clinching victories in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and, ultimately, Wisconsin. These results brought him over the crucial threshold of 270 Electoral College votes, ending with a total of 277 to Harris’s 224.
The triumph in these states is seen as a testament to the strong emotions that fueled the Republican base. Trump’s resurgence has been driven by widespread frustration among his supporters, many of whom remain loyal after his 2020 defeat and share his criticism of that election’s integrity. His campaign struck a chord with voters, highlighting economic concerns, immigration policies, and an assertive stance on international affairs.
As Trump prepares to return to office, many are bracing for potential shifts in U.S. domestic and foreign policy. Observers expect this administration will prioritize revisiting immigration reforms, boosting the domestic energy industry, and reassessing trade agreements. His return also promises to impact America’s role in global security matters, as allies and adversaries alike react to the news.
