Republican Donald Trump won the presidential election in the United States against Democrat Kamala Harris, American media announced on Wednesday, and marks an extraordinary return to power.
Donald Trump succeeded in his bet to return to the White House on Wednesday, a clear victory, which is causing shock waves in the United States and across the world.
At 10:44 GMT, he had a total of 276 electors against 219 for his democratic rival Kamala Harris, therefore beyond the threshold of 270 required to win this election by indirect suffrage.
The blow is quite violent for Kamala Harris. What got stuck? Serge Jaumain, professor of history at ULB and specialist in the United States, delivered his analysis on RTL info 1 p.m.
“It was especially Donald Trump who won. He has the ability to electrify crowds. His speech was not always very coherent, so it was always the form that played a role,” he explains. “He also has this ability to seize the moment. We saw it when he was almost assassinated. We saw him as a major media character.”
“As for Kamala Harris, there is a certain surprise among the Democrats. We thought the vote would be a little closer. They thought there would be hidden voters who would vote for her at the last moment,” continues Serge Jaumain. “In fact, it is especially on Trump’s side that there were a certain number of hidden voters. Kamala Harris ran a campaign that I consider very good. We must not forget that she arrived on July 21 as a surprise candidate, in the sense that it was not planned. She did not make the primaries. We did not have the opportunity to see her on stage as regularly as if she had been a candidate earlier. . And the other element is that she was vice-president, so she had to defend Biden’s record and at the same time embody the novelty when a journalist asked her: ‘What?’ would you have done differently than Joe Biden?’. She replied: ‘I don’t see anything’. I think for many, it was a bit feminine and younger. for economic reasons, the Biden record was a problem for her. concludes the specialist from the United States.
