The Republican billionaire will return to the White House after 4 years
Republican billionaire Donald Trump, 78, is the new president-elect of the United States, according to projections by conservative broadcaster Fox News.
According to the network, the tycoon received at least 277 votes in the electoral college, seven more than the 270 needed, and will be the first government official to serve two non-consecutive presidential terms in the country since Democrat Grover Cleveland, at the end of the 19th century .
Additionally, he will be the oldest president to take office in the White House and the first with a criminal conviction: Trump was found guilty of falsifying financial documents to cover up a bribe to former porn star Stormy Daniels.
The other American press outlets still do not predict a Republican victory, but the conquest of Pennsylvania has made the scenario practically irreversible.
It is the second time that Trump defeats a Democratic woman in the race for the White House: if in 2016 he beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, now his opponent was Vice President Kamala Harris, who ended up paying the price for her unpopularity . President Joe Biden and is even behind in the popular vote, an unprecedented feat for the mogul.
So far, Trump has won 51.2% of the vote nationally, compared to Harris’ 47.4%. “This is a magnificent victory that will allow us to make America great again,” the president-elect said in Palm Beach, Florida.
Accompanied by his wife Melania and all his children, Trump added that it is the “largest political movement” in history. “We have overcome unthinkable obstacles and now it is clear that we have accomplished the most incredible political feat,” added the Republican, considered out of the running after his defeat against Biden in 2020 and the invasion of the Capitol in 2021.
During the speech, Trump also thanked billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X, for his support during the campaign and promised to “end the wars” in Ukraine and the Middle East. “God spared me for a reason, and now we will complete the mission of keeping the promises,” he said. .
