Donald Trump, 78, has been projected to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, making a remarkable political comeback as the 47th president. Early Wednesday, projections showed Trump securing a commanding Electoral College lead over Vice President Kamala Harris, flipping key battleground states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. His victory is attributed to strong support from rural and working-class voters, along with notable gains among ethnic minority groups.
The night also saw a big win for Republicans in Congress, with the Senate projected to return to GOP control. However, the fate of the House of Representatives remains too close to call. Thousands of Harris supporters at Howard University watched the outcome unfold in disappointment, with campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond announcing that Harris would not be making an appearance, leaving supporters awaiting further updates.
