Former President Donald Trump has won the presidency again, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the United States election. Trump secured 277 Electoral College votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win. The national popular vote stands at 51% for Trump and 47.5% for Harris. Trump has secured victories in key swing states, with the remaining states still being counted.
Trump made significant inroads in the Black and Latino communities, receiving more support from these traditionally Democratic voter demographics. He also gained support among young voters, with more than four out of 10 supporting him this year.
The Republican Party also gained control of the Senate in the election, flipping two seats previously held by Democrats. Republicans now hold the majority in the Senate, ending four years of Democratic leadership.
Overall, Trump’s victory was supported by gains in various demographic groups, including women, young voters, and traditionally Democratic communities. The election results reflect changing trends in voter preferences and the political landscape in the United States.
