Donald Trump has made a historic comeback, becoming the U.S. President once again after previously losing an election. With this victory, Trump shattered a 132-year-old record. Exceeding the magic number of 270 electoral votes, the Republican camp is celebrating with unrestrained joy, as they also hold a majority in the Senate.
American citizens, including many Bangladeshis, voted to elect the 47th President of the United States, focusing on key issues such as the economy, abortion, healthcare, immigration, employment, and Israeli aggression in Palestine.
This election saw a significant increase in new voters, with a noticeable rise in female voter turnout. On election day, Republican candidate Donald Trump cast his vote in West Palm Beach, Florida, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had already voted by mail two days earlier. Both candidates were optimistic about winning.
However, on Wednesday (October 6), at around 1:30 PM Bangladesh time, Fox News reported Trump as the victor. According to Fox News, the latest results showed Trump securing 277 electoral votes, while his Democratic rival Kamala Harris received 226. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the U.S. presidency.
Following his confirmed victory, Trump addressed his supporters, pledging to make America great once more and extending special thanks to voters from swing states.
