On November 6, 2024, Donald Trump won the election and became the 47th president of the United States. After a race of several weeks against Kamala Harris, he finally won a majority of voters.
The Democrats are falling from a height. This Wednesday, Associated Press announces the victory of Donald Trump. The Republican becomes the 47th president of the United States. This is the second time he has won the presidency.
Red turn
Polls gave Kamala Harris a slight lead until the last day before the election. But the Republican candidate ultimately benefited from a strong mobilization among his supporters.
From 4 a.m. French time, the billionaire was early. A train that he confirmed when he ran for North Carolina, then Georgia, two hours later.
From there, Kamala Harris' campaign headquarters was deserted, while the Republican returned to the Convention Center in Palm Beach, Florida, where his most fervent supporters awaited him.
Two very favorable years
In addition to winning the presidency, the Republicans also won the Senate. This means that until the mid-term elections, the executive and legislative powers will have a Republican majority, which leaves the field open to the new president.
The fact that he won the election allows Donald Trump to escape his legal woes for a while. At the heart of several cases, some of them criminal, he could well get out of them thanks to his role as president, although it is the supreme court which decides his fate. Such a scenario has never happened in the United States.
