Donald J. Trump has secured his position as the President-Elect of the United States, making him only the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms. The first was Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd and 24th president from 1885 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897. Trump's victory marks the first time since Cleveland that a president has returned to the White House after losing a term, with Cleveland's comeback occurring in 1892. Trump's election win was celebrated at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where he gathered with his team to commemorate the historic achievement.
