In a surprising and historic turn of events, former President Donald J. Trump has claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, securing a return to the White House after a fiercely contested race that held the world’s attention for months.
Trump addressed supporters early in the morning, declaring victory and thanking voters for electing him “as your 45th president and your 47th president.”
With Fox News calling the presidency in his favor, Trump celebrated what he described as a “political victory” and claimed that the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement had powered his success. He also stated that his campaign had won the popular vote.
This victory marks a historic achievement for Trump, who becomes only the second U.S. president in history to serve two non-consecutive terms. His comeback follows his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020, and this win has been framed as a remarkable political resurgence.
The election saw high voter turnout, with millions voting early and long lines on Election Day. Despite polling showing a tight race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in several key battleground states, Trump’s campaign momentum ultimately carried him to victory, leaving the nation and political observers stunned by the result.
Trump celebrated the outcome on his social media platform, Truth Social, noting that “voter enthusiasm is through the roof” as Americans flocked to the polls to support his agenda. His campaign has framed the win as a clear mandate for his return to leadership.
