Congratulations to the President-Elect of the United States of America!” — the tweets came in fast and furious as Donald Trump was officially declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election. His victory solidified after securing critical battleground states, marks the culmination of a hard-fought campaign and a dramatic return to the political spotlight.

News outlets confirmed Trump’s victory early Wednesday, with his final electoral vote count surpassing the 270 needed to win the presidency. The win came after a stunning performance in swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, which Trump had previously lost to Joe Biden in 2020. This time, with the support of a solid base and crucial victories in key states, Trump has earned his second term as President of the United States.

Republicans Secure Senate Majority, House Remains Uncertain

In a further boost to the Republican party, Republicans have successfully flipped Democratic seats in West Virginia and Ohio, securing a majority in the U.S. Senate. This gives Trump’s potential presidency a more favorable landscape for passing legislation and implementing his agenda.

The battle for control of the House of Representatives, however, remains uncertain, with neither party holding a clear advantage. Republicans currently hold a slim majority in the House, but the outcome is still in flux as key races continue to be counted.

Kamala Harris Wins Key States, But Trump Expands Path to 270

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, has captured 14 states, including major electoral vote prizes like California, New York, and Washington D.C. While Harris has performed well in these states, her current total of 189 electoral votes places her far behind Trump, who is steadily building his lead.

Trump to Address Supporters as President-Elect

With his victory in Georgia and the expansion of the route to the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency, Donald Trump is expected to address his supporters in a speech that marks his first message as president-elect.
