After being named the victor of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump accomplished an incredible political comeback and reclaimed the White House.
He wins a second term that is not consecutive, making him the second president in history to do so and the first in nearly 130 years.
A twice-impeached president, he left office in 2021 after accusations that he had incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol building and was convicted earlier this year on several charges of corporate fraud. His miraculous comeback is marked by his defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump, who is 78 years old, will surpass Joe Biden’s record of inaugurations by five months and become the oldest president in history.
He won the crucial swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania on a night that was reminiscent of 2016, completing his astonishing triumph.
On Wednesday at 5:34 a.m. (ET), the Associated Press called Wisconsin, and the race was called just three minutes later.
Harris maintained his stance throughout the match. She had instead gone to bed and would not be addressing supporters until “tomorrow,” according to her campaign co-chair, retired Rep. Cedric Richmond, who made the announcement just after midnight.
With his stunning political comeback, Donald Trump was named the victor of the 2024 U.S. presidential election and reclaimed the White House.
On Tuesday night, Trump gave his victory speech in West Palm Beach. (Pictured: Donald, Melania, and their son Barron on stage.) This makes him the first president to win a non-consecutive second term in more over 130 years.

A turbulent 2024 campaign, marked by Joe Biden’s surprising July resignation from the race and two startling attempts on Trump’s life (Trump is seen after surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania), comes to a close with Trump’s win.
A stunning comeback for a president who has been impeached twice, as he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.
The critical moment occurred at 11:19 p.m. (ET) when Trump was summoned to North Carolina.
A convention hall in West Palm Beach, Florida, was the site of the official Republican watch party, when an otherwise subdued audience suddenly burst into a fit of anxious excitement.
‘A feeling of destiny’ replaced cautious optimism, according to one attendee, as the tone at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate shifted from watching the results come in with friends and family.
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Trump took the stage at the convention center, accompanied by his happy family and campaign team. He spoke to his devoted supporters and made the bold statement: “We’re going to help our country heal.”
According to him, this political movement was unparalleled. “We can make America great again” thanks to this stunning triumph for the American people.
An eventful 2024 campaign, marked by Biden’s abrupt exit in July and two horrific assassinations attempts on Trump’s life, certainly comes to a close with Trump’s decisive victory.
Unfortunately, his tendency for personal assaults and aggressive speech has led to a society that is deeply divided and shows no signs of mending under his leadership.
Trump easily defeated other Republican candidates, such as Nikki Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, and Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, to win the Party nomination in March of this year, after his announcement that he will run again in November of 2022.
As summer approached, he had a commanding lead in the polls compared to President Biden, 81, who was failing miserably with voters due to his age, economic record, and immigration policies.
The now-infamous June 27th CNN discussion between the two presumed contenders, in which Biden stuttered and froze, seemingly unable to articulately respond to even the most fundamental topics, bolstered Trump’s campaign.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, an assassin-in-waiting, shot and severed Trump’s right ear on July 13 as the president addressed a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. As Secret Service members encircled him, Trump sprang up, his shoes gone and his face covered in blood, and yelled out, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
A few days later, at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was greeted with a hero’s welcome.
In a powerful address delivered to a sold-out convention hall on the last night, Trump assured a nationwide audience that he would serve as president for all Americans. Meanwhile, supporters of the MAGA movement sported fake bandages on their ears to show their support for the former president.
All that changed, however, three days later. While he and his family were holed up at Camp David, Biden released a devastating letter on X announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 campaign.
In his letter, he said, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” His endorsement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee to succeed him came within an hour.
Harris rallied backers in a flash, raising almost $100 million in only one day. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago the following month, when celebrities like Kerry Washington, Oprah Winfrey, and Eva Longoria were in attendance, Hillary officially accepted the party nomination while polling well ahead of Trump.
On September 10, in their first and last debate on television, Harris easily defeated Trump. His outrageous claim that Haitian migrants were ‘eating the dogs […] devouring the cats’ of American people became an immediate internet sensation.
The surge in Harris’s popularity was so great that a subsequent attempt to kill Trump on his West Palm Beach golf club, which occurred days later, had a little impact.
The Trump campaign took a further punch when Ohio Senator JD Vance, who was running with Trump and is now the vice president-elect, got embroiled in a series of remarks that surfaced online and targeted female Democrats.
In his most incriminating interview from 2021, he referred to Harris and other childless women as “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives.” And he didn’t stop there.
The gender gap did indeed become an important aspect of the 2024 contest very quickly.
Particularly unpopular among female voters is Trump’s participation in the 2022 effort to overturn Roe v. Wade, which would have removed the constitutional right to an abortion and returned the choice on related legislation to the states.
Abortion wasn’t the silver bullet that Harris had hoped for, however. Additionally, Floridians had the opportunity to vote on Governor DeSantis’s contentious 6-week abortion restriction. However, Democrats finally lost on Tuesday, failing to get the 60% necessary to repeal the Florida prohibition, even though they had triumphed in every pro-abortion ballot issue since Roe v. Wade was reversed.
At the same time, Trump has done quite well with male voters this year. Trump appeared to have won the election thanks to a high male voter turnout, despite worries that he and Vance were making the campaign too “bro-tastic” (complete with a shirt-ripping Hulk Hogan).
After weeks of resisting the urge to give in to harsh TV interviews, Harris’s formerly commanding poll advantage has begun to erode. Even Harris’s supporters were furious with her for her disorganized and meandering responses to queries; in fact, prominent Democratic strategist David Axelrod accused Harris of descending into “word salad city” last month.
Almost without exception, pollsters reached the same conclusion in the latter days of the campaign: the election was too close to call.
On the other hand, several Trump supporters among the experts cited his chronic under-polling as evidence that he was ahead in the race, especially in a dead-heat.
Undoubtedly, Trump was aided by the economic and inflationary conditions, the southern border immigration crisis, and the foreign policy record of the Biden-Harris administration, which included the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the recent outbreak of war in Israel.
Now that he has won, Trump must get ready to take over the country, and he will likely rely on the group of MAGA supporters who have been by his side through all of the scandals.
By 2016, he had surrounded himself with moderates from the Republican National Committee and the military.
This time around, he has his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, running the Republican National Committee. Trump has been cautioned by former military officials that he is unfit for leadership, including General John Kelly, who was his chief of staff during his previous administration.
His detractors worry that Trump’s new cabinet will be full of radicals who will give the president too much authority.
Trump promptly issued an executive order prohibiting travel from seven nations, the majority of which are Muslim, on the first day of 2017.
This time around, he plans to deport illegal immigrants on a massive scale, liberate some convicts convicted of crimes committed on January 6, and dismiss the special counsel pursuing him on suspicions of election meddling.
The American people have gradually warmed up to his first term, focusing on the robust economy and safe borders that he presided over, rather than the shameful riots on January 6 and his baseless “stolen vote” accusations after Biden’s close 2020 victory.
Trump fearlessly embarked on his campaign in 2022 after Republicans suffered shockingly poor midterm results. His magnetic personality and unmatched charisma allowed him to win over the party’s base and reclaim his unstoppable public profile.
The pivotal event, according to Tim Murtaugh, chairman of communications for Team Trump, who spoke with the Daily Mail, occurred in the last hours of the election last month when Trump sported an apron and worked the fry station at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania.
He clarified that it wasn’t so much the process of preparing French fries or operating the drive-thru window.
The moment he approached in the procession down the street in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was that. It was not a throng that we created; there were tens of thousands of people lining the roadway.
Originally planned as an unannounced ploy, a local publication leaked the facts to the public, drawing an unexpected audience to the McDonald’s event.
Finally, Trump was able to win the election and begin a second term that will undoubtedly be just as eventful and momentous as the first thanks to an equally spontaneous and enormous voter participation, both in early votes and on Election Day itself.
