Donald Trump has won a historic second term as U.S. President, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris with 277 Electoral College votes to her 224, and securing 51% of the popular vote. Following the election results, Vice President Harris conceded, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful transition and her continued commitment to her campaign's causes. Trump's victory speech highlighted an 'unprecedented and powerful mandate' to restore America and fulfill promises on immigration and national security. President Biden has invited Trump to discuss the transition, while the Justice Department considers how to handle Trump's pending legal cases. The election signifies a political comeback for Trump, who had previously left office amid controversy, and leaves Democrats re-evaluating strategies after Harris was unable to capitalize on key issues such as democracy and freedoms. Global leaders, including Ukraine's President Zelensky, have begun dialogues with Trump to foster international cooperation.
