In a historic and surprising turn of events, former President Donald J. Trump has declared victory in the 2024 US presidential election, securing a return to the White House after a fiercely contested race that captivated the world for months.
Trump expressed his gratitude to voters, thanking them for electing him as both the 45th and 47th president.
Speaking to supporters in the early hours, he proclaimed a “political victory” and claimed they had won the popular vote, with Fox News officially calling the presidency in his favor.
“We all won by the MAGA movement,” Trump said.
With this victory, Trump becomes just the second president in American history to serve non-consecutive terms, marking a remarkable comeback after his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020.
The win caps off a divisive and hard-fought campaign that saw unprecedented voter turnout, with millions of early ballots cast and long lines on Election Day, reflecting strong enthusiasm at the polls.
Polls had indicated a near deadlock between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in several key battleground states, but in the end, Trump’s momentum proved decisive, leaving Americans and political analysts stunned by one of the most polarised elections in recent history.
