Donald Trump has secured a historic second term as US President by surpassing the crucial 270 electoral college votes. He becomes the 47th president of the United States.
His victory was fueled by his performance in critical states, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, and Texas. In Pennsylvania, Trump won with 50% against Harris 49%. Ohio saw Trump securing 54% of the vote where he led Harris by 9-12 points . Arizona and Texas also swung in the favour of Donald Trump, with 52% and 55% of the vote, respectively
Exit polls provide insight into voting patterns across the nation. Women primarily supported Kamala Harris, but not by the margins her campaign had anticipated, with 54% voting for Harris and 44% for Trump.
However, more men voted for Donald Trump than those who voted for Kamala Harris. 54% of the vote cast for Donald Trump were by men while 44% votes were attributed to men in the case of Kamala Harris.
The election outcome has significant implications for the direction of the country. The president who has closely aligned himself with one the richest men in the world, Elon Musk, has promised to make America great again and has since declared his tenure the Golden Age of America.
