The election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States represents an unprecedented event in American political history. By surpassing the threshold of 270 electoral votes, Trump marks a return to the White House, becoming the first president to win two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland. This victory not only marks a new era for the Republican Party, but also marks a significant change in the political landscape of the country.
Trump has won 279 electoral votes, with decisive victories in key states such as Wisconsin, where he won 10 electors. As the results continue to be counted, he is also on track for a possible victory in the popular vote, currently with 51% of the vote, compared to Kamala Harris' 47%. During his victory celebration at the Palm Beach Convention Center, Trump expressed gratitude to his supporters and promised to keep his promises. He said:
“This campaign was historic. We are the party of common sense and we want to ensure the security of the border.” Amid the celebrations, Donald Trump Jr. also revived a popular meme associated with Kamala Harris to underline the importance of the victory.
The effects of Trump’s victory are also being felt on the stock markets. Tesla shares, supported by Elon Musk, recorded a strong pre-opening rise on Wall Street, highlighting the positive influence that the election outcome has generated in the electric car sector. Furthermore, the international reaction was not long in coming: Matteo Salvini celebrated the victory on Instagram, highlighting issues such as the fight against illegal immigration and the return to traditional values. Concluding the analysis of this historic electoral round, we can note how Trump has managed to emerge from a series of political and legal challenges that had put him in difficulty in recent years. His resilience suggests that the American political dynamics could undergo further transformations in the coming years. As the country looks to the future with a mix of hope and uncertainty, it will be critical to watch how this new administration addresses the internal and external challenges that await the United States in the years ahead.
