WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – He won.
Former President Donald Trump, considered a political outcast after losing the presidency in 2020 and an attack by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol, was elected to another term on Wednesday in a decisive and astounding victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
His win completes one of the most remarkable comebacks in political history, just four years after voters ejected him from the office.
Trump defeated Harris by capturing at least 270 of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency. His tally could increase as more votes are counted.
The former president captured battleground states that for weeks had been considered a tossup. The race was both improbable and historic. His return to the White House comes after he was impeached twice, survived two assassination attempts and was convicted of 34 felony counts.
