Former President Donald Trump is projected to win a second term, marking a historic return nearly four years after leaving office amid legal and political challenges.
Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) announced Trump’s victory after he secured Pennsylvania and Alaska, reaching the 270 electoral votes required.
This win follows a closely contested race against Vice President Kamala Harris, during a campaign season marked by Trump’s criminal trial, two assassination attempts, and a late Democratic reshuffle after President Biden stepped down.
Trump’s victory makes him the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to return to office after an electoral loss.
Trump’s path included flipping battleground states like Georgia and securing North Carolina, with polling staying tight until Election Day.
His campaign, with Senator JD Vance as his running mate, focused on rising costs, border security, and international stability to rally voters.
Exit polls revealed strong support from Latino voters, increased rural turnout, and near-equal support with Harris among young men, a demographic his team targeted heavily.
Trump’s agenda includes strict immigration enforcement, extending tax cuts, universal tariffs, rolling back transgender protections, and dismantling the Department of Education.
He also aims to build an administration fully aligned with his policies.
Despite challenges with female voters and abortion issues highlighted by Harris, Trump managed to offset potential losses, and Republicans regained control of the Senate.
His victory may further shift the Supreme Court to the right.
Though he continues to face a 2023 federal indictment related to his actions after the 2020 election, Trump has hinted at plans to dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith, potentially affecting ongoing investigations.
