Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, becoming the 47th President and securing more than the 270 electoral votes required. Winning key swing states such as Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, Trump also garnered a higher popular vote count than his rival, Kamala Harris. This victory marks his return to the presidency in nonconsecutive terms, a historical feat last achieved by Grover Cleveland in 1892. Harris, who conceded the election, emphasized unity and vowed to continue advocating for her core values.
Global leaders, including the prime ministers of the UK and India, joined others in congratulating Trump. Notably, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet extended his congratulations, although Russia has expressed its intention to engage with Trump’s administration pragmatically. Domestic reactions include President Joe Biden’s call for a smooth transition of power, and promises of cooperation from key political figures and business leaders.
Market responses to Trump’s win have been positive, with the dollar strengthening and Bitcoin hitting new highs. Additionally, the Republican Party gained a majority in the U.S. Senate by flipping states like Montana from Democratic control. In her concession speech, Harris addressed Americans from Howard University, reflecting on the campaign’s efforts, and urged the nation to embrace optimism and perseverance despite the election results. The transition process is underway, with Biden and Harris facilitating a peaceful handover to avoid any disruptions.
