Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States, defeating Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in a close election. He secured the necessary 270 electoral votes after winning Wisconsin, marking his second non-consecutive term in the White House.
Trump is the second president in American history to serve non-consecutive terms, following in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland. Cleveland served as the 22nd president from 1885-1889 and returned for a second term as the 24th president from 1893-1897.
Cleveland, the first Democrat elected after the Civil War, was the first president to leave office and successfully return for another term. He previously lost the 1888 election to Republican Benjamin Harrison, becoming the only incumbent to win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College.
Trump’s victory marks a significant moment in U.S. history, as he becomes the first president to be elected twice non-consecutively since Cleveland. His second term promises to be a continuation of his controversial policies and rhetoric, with the nation poised to enter another era of political polarization.
