Donald Trump has been re-elected as the President of the United States in the 2024 election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. This historic win makes him the second U.S. president, after Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms. The election saw intense competition, with Trump campaigning heavily on themes like immigration reform, national security, and economic policies aimed at American manufacturing and tariffs on foreign goods. He chose J.D. Vance, an Ohio Senator, as his vice-presidential running mate, who became a strong campaign presence
Trump’s campaign and victory reflect a continued divide within the American electorate, particularly with regard to social and economic policies. His victory also brings a Republican-controlled Senate, which could give Trump substantial influence over judicial and administrative appointments, potentially reshaping American policies on issues like immigration and climate change for years to come.
