Donald Trump has reclaimed the White House after a divisive campaign that defied polls and criminal charges. Kamala Harris conceded but vowed to continue her "fight for freedom and dignity." Trump’s win represents a strong shift in voter sentiment, with Americans prioritizing economic and border security concerns.
Harris consoled her supporters, calling for resilience while refusing to align with Trump’s vision. Biden plans to address the nation on Thursday.
Trump, along with Vice President-elect JD Vance, aims to take office on January 20 with promises of sweeping changes, including firing civil servants he deems disloyal and possibly replacing regulatory heads. He has tapped prominent figures, such as Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for administration roles.
Trump's Electoral College win was bolstered by strong support across at least five battleground states. His victory also secured a Republican majority in both the Senate and House, easing the way for his legislative goals.
Markets responded positively, with major stock indices rallying and the dollar showing its biggest one-day rise since 2020. Trump’s economic agenda includes reducing corporate taxes, tightening immigration policies, and focusing on “peace through strength” in foreign policy.
International reactions varied, with support from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cautious optimism from Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The Kremlin awaits clarity on Trump’s commitment to peace.
Trump’s re-election may intensify trade tensions with China and other allies, with economists warning of possible increases in US debt under his proposed tax cuts. His immigration policies could also trigger mass deportations and strain US foreign relations.
Exit polls showed Trump expanding his support among Hispanic voters and lower-income households impacted by inflation, while Democratic turnout in key counties fell.
