Donald Trump has secured a historic victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation following Harris's loss. Trump's success was marked by significant gains in traditionally Democratic strongholds, indicating a 'Red wave' in Blue states. In New York, he garnered 44.2% of the vote, up from 37.74% in 2020 and 36.75% in 2016. Texas border counties saw a massive shift towards Trump, with Starr County flipping to the GOP for the first time in over a century. The election also saw Trump building on Latino support, which helped pave the way to his victory. Preliminary data from a 50-state analysis shows a significant shift towards Trump compared to 2020.
