United States: Donald Trump is elected as the 47th president of the United States, which has become an extraordinary tale for the ex-president who did not accept defeat four years ago.
The new winner was marked with inciting rioters to storm the Capitol in his support, was impeached for a misdemeanor, and had even narrowly escaped two murder plots.
Trump, with his win in Wisconsin, won the election with a clear 270 electoral votes.
The victory also validates his bare-knuckle political approach in the current society. He aggressively attacked his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, with personal and racist language and sought to portray a bustling America in the grip of awesome immigration violence.
The coarse speaking style, coupled with the image of invulnerable machismo, self-asserted the candidate to angry and polarised voters – especially males, AP News reported.
Across the states, Trump mobilized more voters than in the actual 2020 election, while Kamala Harris couldn’t get as many votes as Joe Biden, who emerged as the president in the 2016 elections.
Trump will also work with a Senate that will now be in Republican hands, while control of the House will not be determined upon his return to the presidency.
Trump’s second term
In his second term, Trump has promised to govern on an incredibly reactionary platform, focusing on restructuring the federal government and going after perceived foes.
It ends one of the most violently contentious and competitively fought presidential election campaigns in US history that saw two attempts on Trump’s life and a change of Democratic candidate a mere month before the party’s convention.
Trump would also inherit a variety of challenges when he commences office on January 20, which include raised political polarization and global crises that have been taking America’s influence to the test put side of the country.
Trump stated while cheering up the supporters in Florida, even before confirmation came about his victory, “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” AP News reported.
