Trump Beats Kamala Harris in US Elections and Snatches White House Seat
Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in a remarkable comeback that will return him to the White House, after a roller-coaster campaign during which he was indicted four times, criminally convicted, and survived two assassination attempts.
“This will truly be the golden age of America,” Trump told supporters in West Palm Beach, FL as the Associated Press called the vital state of Pennsylvania for him at 11:25 p.m. PT, essentially assuring an electoral win with Alaska assured to fall in his column.
Wisconsin may prove to go for the Republican Party (GOP) too if current trends out of the state continue, which would add to battleground state wins in North Carolina and Georgia.
The 45th and soon to be 47th POTUS ran a campaign focused on illegal immigration and inflation, but he often lashed out at his political opponents, telling supporters that “I am your retribution,” and suggesting that Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under him, would have deserved execution in years past.
Trump promised to be a “dictator on day one” of his presidency, focused on executive action to close the southern border and then move to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. In moves widely viewed to benefit Vladimir Putin, Trump has also sworn to end the nearly three-year war quickly between Russia and a heavily USA- and NATO-backed Ukraine.
