In a historic and controversial return, Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States, securing a win that underscores his continued influence in American politics.
Trump’s path back to the White House culminated with a pivotal victory in Wisconsin, pushing him over the critical 270 electoral votes needed for the presidency.
This outcome marks a dramatic chapter for Trump, who left office four years ago amid a refusal to concede defeat, a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, and a series of felony convictions. Despite these setbacks and surviving two assassination attempts, Trump’s message resonated strongly with a base of loyal supporters. In his victory speech at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida, he pledged to deliver a “strong and prosperous America” and to reshape the government according to his vision.
