Donald Trump is leading in the presidential elections of the United States of America. FOX News projected that Trump will be the next president.
Republican Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 presidential contest after Fox News projected that he had defeated Democrat Kamala Harris, which would cap a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House.
“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said early on Wednesday to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, flanked by his vice presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, Republican leaders and members of Trump’s family.
He also spent several minutes praising Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who pumped some $120 million into backing Trump’s campaign. Trump has said he will appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission.
Donald Trump, who has already been the US president once (2016-2020), has already won two swing states: Georgia and North Carolina, and he is leading in other swing states as well.
As for the Legislature: Republicans have gained an advantage in the Senate and will have a majority there. The fate of the House of Representatives, where the Republicans already had a majority, is still unknown.
AP reports that Trump currently has 248 electoral votes, needing 270 to win. His rival, Kamala Harris, has 214 votes. The fate of the elections in America is decided by the so-called swing states.
