Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris, securing both the popular vote and the Electoral College, as declared by the Associated Press. Trump received between 71 and 73 million votes, accounting for about 51% of the popular vote, and secured between 277 and 312 electoral votes, winning by 87 electoral votes. Harris received between 66 and 68 million votes, around 47-47.5% of the popular vote, with 224-226 electoral votes. This marks a historic comeback for Trump, delivering him a second term and signifying a dramatic revival of his MAGA movement—considered one of the greatest political comebacks in history. Winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College is a rare achievement for a Republican candidate in recent decades. The outcome has been described as a 'seismic change,' and has raised questions about the future of U.S. global leadership.
