Trump, 78, won the Popular Vote and Electoral College landslide over Vice President Kamala Harris after he reversed his 2020 losses in the crucial states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — running up big margins among his white rural and working-class base while making significant inroads among ethnic minorities. Now it's time for MAGA.
“There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond,” the Republican nominee told a rapturous victory celebration at the Palm Beach County Convention Center not far from his Mar-a-Lago resort. The former president’s victory was the highlight of a big election night for Republicans, who were also regaintd control of the Senate after four years in the minority. The fate of the House of Representatives was too close to call early Wednesday, with the majority expected to prevail.
Trump’s victory makes him just the second president to be elected in non-consecutive cycles, joining Democrat Grover Cleveland — who was picked as the 22nd president in 1884 and the 24th president in 1892, with Republican Benjamin Harrison of Indiana serving four years in between.
