Donald Trump was elected as the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, marking a historic return to the White House after his defeat four years ago. The pivotal win came as Trump secured Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral College votes, pushing him past the 270 needed to claim victory. This triumph underscores his combative political style, which appealed to a polarized electorate, particularly disaffected male voters.
Throughout his campaign, Trump attacked his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, with intensely personal and often controversial rhetoric. His messaging focused on a vision of America threatened by violence and instability, a portrayal that resonated with his core supporters.
The Wisconsin win is especially significant as Trump had previously flipped the state in 2016 but lost it to Joe Biden in 2020. Both Trump and Harris heavily campaigned in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground where Trump had attempted to challenge his 2020 loss through legal avenues.
The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 5:34 a.m. EST. Trump plans to implement a sweeping agenda focused on federal government reforms and actions against his perceived opponents.
