WASHINGTON DC— In a stunning and historic turn of events, former President Donald Trump has been projected to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, marking a dramatic return to the White House.
Projections show Trump surpassing the necessary 270 electoral votes, with his victory in the battleground state of Wisconsin pushing him to 276 electoral votes, although counting continues in several key states.
This victory represents not just a political triumph but also a remarkable comeback for Trump, who lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
His return to the nation’s highest office comes after a tumultuous four years marked by efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, two presidential impeachments, a criminal conviction, and numerous other ongoing criminal charges.
Trump will now become only the second president in U.S. history to win two nonconsecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland, who served in the late 19th century.
In a victory speech delivered before the race was officially called, Trump celebrated his success, vowing to usher in a “golden age of America” and promising to prioritize economic growth and tougher immigration policies.

Throughout his campaign, Trump focused heavily on themes of restoring American greatness, often repeating controversial claims regarding election integrity and government overreach. He also celebrated the projected Republican control of the Senate, which he argued would enable him to deliver on his promises.
Trump’s win represents a significant shift in the American political landscape, as Harris and the Democrats, despite a strong campaign, ultimately fell short. Harris, who was hoping to build on the achievements of the Biden administration, is expected to address the nation later today, acknowledging the loss and outlining the way forward.
As the final votes continue to be tallied in several states, political analysts will now turn their attention to the broader implications of Trump’s return to power, both for the future of the Republican Party and for American democracy.
