President-elect Donald Trump has made significant gains in the 2024 election, surprising many analysts and observers. CNN's data expert Harry Enten expressed astonishment at Trump's improvement, noting that he gained ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia compared to 2020. Texas, a state long hoped by Democrats to turn blue, has become even redder than it was nearly a decade ago. Trump's victory was marked by a historic win among Hispanic and Latino voters, flipping traditionally Democratic counties and pulling in record-breaking numbers. The shock waves from Trump's decisive win have been felt worldwide, with allies offering congratulations and potential adversaries seeking to smooth over relations. U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific were quick to respond with congratulations, reflecting on the tumultuous times during Trump's first term. In an Israeli settlement named after Trump, residents see new opportunities following his election victory. Staten Island, Trump's New York City stronghold, also reacted positively to the Republican win.
