Donald Trump has emerged as the popular vote leader in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, with 49.86% of the vote (77,034,011 votes) compared to Kamala Harris's 48.26% (74,563,603 votes), as 154.5 million votes have been counted so far. Trump is favored to be named Time's Person of the Year, and his popularity has surged among young Americans, according to recent reports. A Pew survey indicates that voters are shifting toward the Republican Party and away from the Democrats, with many Americans warming to Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, Democrats are reportedly growing more pessimistic about their party's future following Trump's victory. Criticism of Trump's deportation policies has also intensified. Internationally, Trump's re-election has highlighted divisions between the U.S. and Europe, with concerns about the alliance's future. Trump's first days as president-elect are reportedly positive. Biden and bureaucrats are reportedly working to set roadblocks to a Trump-proof federal government.
