Donald Trump Wins Second Presidential Term

Donald Trump has secured a historic victory, becoming the 47th president of the United States with 277 electoral votes against Kamala Harris's 224. This marks the first time in over 125 years that a president has returned to office after leaving, generating significant political analysis regarding the implications for the Democratic Party and Trump's foreign policies. Leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orbán have expressed optimism about Trump's presidency, suggesting it will bolster their own agendas against immigration and multiculturalism while realigning U.S. diplomacy towards populist and authoritarian regimes. Trump's potential actions, including promises to end Russia's war in Ukraine swiftly, have raised concerns about NATO's stability and international alliances. Meanwhile, the election also saw Sarah McBride make history as the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, marking a significant milestone in representation.
