Republican Donald Trump will return to the White House for the second time, having received the necessary number of electoral votes to win, writes The Hill.
According to forecasts, Donald Trump, having received decisive victories in the states of Pennsylvania and Alaska, received the necessary 270 electoral votes and returns to the White House almost four years after a scandalous exit from office.
This victory makes him the first president since Grover Cleveland to win a second term after a break. The 2024 campaign has been eventful, in particular due to the lawsuits against Trump, attempts on his life, and the replacement of the Democratic candidate: Joe Biden was replaced by Kamala Harris.
Trump gained an advantage in the "swing" states of Georgia and North Carolina, which helped him break the so-called "blue wall" of Democrats. He increased support among Latino voters, young men, and residents of rural areas. One of the key factors in his victory was his promises of large-scale deportation, tax cuts, tariffs, and reforms in education and the environment.
According to his strategy, Trump is seeking to push through conservative changes in government, including Supreme Court appointments, which could give Republicans a significant advantage on legal issues for decades to come. His victory means not only a political comeback, but also a chance to once again influence the country's politics.
