Donald Trump leads US elections, declaring victory over Democratic opponent Kamala Harris after securing crucial battleground states. Projections show Trump winning Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, bringing him closer to the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. Trump addressed his supporters in West Palm Beach, calling the results a historic “mandate” from Americans and thanking his backers for their dedication.
Donald Trump, the front-runner in US elections, will have an influence not only on the presidential race but also on other races. The Associated Press says that the Republican Party is also likely to gain control of the Senate, as it currently holds 51 of the 100 seats.
Trump calls his victory “golden age of America”
Trump hailed this victory as a step toward the “golden age of America,” promising to bring stability and security to the country. He also forecasted that results for the lower chamber are bound to come much slower while also warning that the House of Representatives may end in Republican hands.
In his winning speech, the Republican candidate cited unity but also made one of the rare gestures that could heal national divides. Mr. Trump vowed he would be able to give a strong prosperous America while reflecting on those supporters that have been driving this incredible movement, which he described as the greatest political movement of all time. And as Donald Trump moves toward leading US elections forward, he will already paint himself as behind the architect of a reinvigorated America entrusted with delivering promises for which his base has hoped.
Donald Trump leads US elections: Will he solve Russia-Ukraine war?
This, Trump’s foreign policy, especially on Ukraine, would likely change 180 degrees. He earlier claimed that he could stop the war between Ukraine and Russia “in one day” if elected. He further highlighted his relations with the rest of the world, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has been a vocal critic of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s numerous pleas for assistance. This shows that Trump coming back to power will likely witness the United States’ foreign policy toward Eastern Europe change a lot.
The AP has not announced who will be the next elected US president, but pro-Trump voices are already calling upon their president to regain office; in fact, even before an official announcement can be made, House Republicans have announced that they plan to pursue his “America First” agenda. Therefore, Donald Trump’s chances of coming back into the political spotlight could see profound domestic and international policy shift both for good and bad since Republicans still maintain a stronghold majority within both legislative houses.
