Donald Trump has won US presidential election, a stunning victory in the 2024, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a dramatic political comeback.

The win, which came after one of the most contentious campaigns in modern US history, has reverberated across the globe, signaling profound shifts in both domestic and international policies. BBC Reports

The polarizing Republican candidate’s victory is especially remarkable given his criminal conviction, a near-assassination attempt, and a barrage of personal and political controversies. “It’s a political victory like our country has never seen before.”

Trump declared during his victory speech in Florida. His win, which included key swing states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, made him the first president in over a century to win a non-consecutive second term.

Trump’s campaign centered around strong anti-immigration rhetoric and a return to an isolationist “America First” agenda.

His advocacy for reduced US involvement in global conflicts, particularly the Ukraine war, and promises to dismantle Biden’s climate policies resonated with voters grappling with the economic aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The victory is also significant on a personal level for Trump, who now faces a number of legal challenges, including a sentencing hearing in New York for fraud charges later this month.

His return to the presidency could have a profound impact on the ongoing criminal cases against him, including those related to the January 6th Capitol riot and mishandling classified documents.

International Reactions and Economic Impact

The impact of Trump’s win is already being felt across global markets, with the US dollar surging and Bitcoin hitting record highs.

World leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, quickly extended their congratulations, signaling their readiness to work with Trump.

However, his return to the White House raises concerns, particularly regarding US foreign policy and his stance on climate change and international alliances.

Trump’s Legal Troubles and Future Outlook

Despite the legal storm looming over his presidency, Trump remains determined to push forward with his agenda. As president, he has the potential to halt or delay his ongoing trials, including a high-profile fraud case in New York.

His pledge to dismiss the special counsel overseeing the federal election interference case could further complicate his legal battles.

With his victory, Trump not only secures his political comeback but also finds himself in a unique position to influence both domestic and global affairs in ways that are sure to reverberate for years to come.
