Former President Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in a surprising victory, securing a second term in the White House after a historic election marked by unprecedented events and two assassination attempts.
This win makes Trump the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892—and only the second in history—to serve two nonconsecutive terms.
Trump was first elected in 2016, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with his promise to “Make America Great Again.”
Though he lost re-election to President Biden in 2020 amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, Trump reclaimed the presidency in 2024 after nearly two years of campaigning, pledging to “Make America Great Once Again.”
