Detailed news
According to projections made by NBC News, the Republican presidential contender Donald Trump would emerge victorious over his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris and will thereafter return to the White House for an additional four years.
Trump, who was the 45th president, will now become the 47th president after his campaign for reelection in 2020 was unsuccessful as he was defeated by Joe Biden.
The triumph of Donald Trump is the first of a string of historic firsts. As the oldest individual to ever win a presidential election in the United States, he is 78 years old. In the 132 years that have passed since Grover Cleveland, he will be the first president to serve two terms in office that are not consecutive to one another. In addition, he emerged victorious from what is thought to be the most costly presidential election in the history of the world.
Additionally, he is the only president, either current or past, to ever be found guilty of committing a crime. It is the first time in history that a president who has been impeached twice could win back the White House. He is the only president in history to take office while simultaneously defending himself against criminal allegations in a number of ongoing proceedings at the state and federal levels.
Because to Trump’s victory, Harris, who is currently serving as vice president, will not be able to achieve her own historic milestone, which would have been to become the first woman to ever hold the office of president of the United States.
A startling political accomplishment for Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, who won his first election just two years earlier, this victory also signifies a significant political accomplishment for Trump.
Vance, who is just forty years old, is now the first person in the line of succession for the presidency. He was a previous opponent of Trump who later became a loyalist of the president-elect and a leading supporter for the right-wing populist movement.
If President Trump follows through on his campaign pledges, his second administration will soon begin to implement an ambitious and contentious agenda that will focus on reshaping ties with foreign leaders, implementing massive tax cuts, and deporting large numbers of people.
Furthermore, Trump has pledged to impose significant tariffs, asserting that these tariffs will simultaneously increase revenues in the United States, support local sectors, and discourage undesirable competition from foreign nations.
It has been frequently cautioned by mainstream economists that the tariffs, which are levies paid by importers from the United States, will result in an increase in costs for consumers in the United States.
There is still a lot of uncertainty over the degree to which Trump’s presidential agenda will be similar to the accumulation of his numerous assertions as a candidate.
On January 6, 2021, he made a promise to pardon his followers who participated in a violent riot at the United States Capitol.
The unclear posture that he has taken, which threatens to unravel the strategy of strong backing for Kyiv that was implemented by the Biden administration, is that he has pledged that he will rapidly arrange an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He has stated that he would appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a strong opponent of vaccines, to the position of health policy director, and he would also ask Elon Musk, the wealthy CEO of Tesla, to offer proposed reductions in government expenditure that would amount to trillions of dollars.
“except for Day One,” he has stated, he has refuted the Democrats’ fears that he will act in a dictatorial manner once he is in power.
A campaign that is unparalleled
There is no denying the historic nature of the campaign that enabled Trump to win the election.
Midway through the month of July, a man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican who was 20 years old and had given to a Democratic organization, opened fire with a rifle that resembled an AR-15 when Trump was attending a campaign event in Pennsylvania. Crooks was able to avoid killing Trump. The perpetrators of the crime shot and killed a rally attendee, and one of the bullets struck Trump’s ear, causing a stream of blood to run down his face.
Trump’s quick response to the incident, which consisted of raising his fist and boldly encouraging his fans to “fight!” as Secret Service officials hurried him off stage, became an instantaneous moment that became a defining moment of the campaign.
The competition was once again thrown into disarray just a few days later.
At the end of July, Harris, who is sixty years old, was propelled to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket subsequent to the announcement that Biden would no longer run for reelection.
