Former President Donald Trump has emerged the winner in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris to secure his second term in office.
"It is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing. Look what happened. Isn't this crazy?" Trump told supporters after the Pennsylvania result, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president."
The 78 year old captured key battleground states and flipped several traditionally blue states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, surpassing the 270 electoral votes required to win, while Harris, despite strong support in major urban centers, fell short.
Trump, who previously served as president from 2017 to 2021, reaffirmed his "America First" agenda and promised to continue pursuing policies focused on economic growth, national security, and a tough stance on immigration.
This marks the first time in more than 100 years that a U.S. president has been elected for non-consecutive terms, a milestone that underscores
Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party and his unwavering base of support.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Trump on X Wednesday morning, saying the friendship between Canada and the U.S. is the envy of the world.
“I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations,” he said.
