Donald Trump has made history by securing a second term as President of the United States, becoming the first convicted criminal to hold the office. His victory reflects a significant shift in the Republican electorate, which has become more diverse compared to previous elections, although he did lose ground among seniors and college-educated white women. Trump has pledged to promote healing in a divided nation, while critics question the implications of his divisive rhetoric. Internationally, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the U.S. elections will not notably impact future global dynamics. Kamala Harris and the Democrats faced a substantial defeat, leading to discussions on potential Democratic candidates for 2028 and the effectiveness of their campaign strategies. The inauguration of Trump is scheduled for January 20, 2025.
