Thu Nov 07 09:38:45 UTC 2024: ## Trump Wins 2024 US Presidential Election, Defeating Kamala Harris

**Washington D.C., November 7, 2024** – Donald Trump has been declared the 47th President of the United States, securing victory over Democratic challenger Kamala Harris in a tightly contested election. Trump garnered 270 electoral votes, surpassing the threshold needed to win, while Harris secured 222 electoral votes.

Trump’s win marks a historic return to the White House after a four-year absence. He is the first Republican to win the popular vote in a US presidential election.

Global leaders have congratulated Trump on his victory, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Keir Starmer, Presidents Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, and Justin Trudeau. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has yet to comment, stating only that Russia “has no illusions” but will work with the Trump administration.

In his victory speech, Trump pledged to heal the country and bring a “golden age to the US.” He also announced his plans to halt all renewable energy projects, including offshore wind farms, on his first day in office, causing significant drops in the shares of key players in the renewable energy sector.

Trump is currently narrowing down his choices for key cabinet positions, with several names being considered for roles including Treasury Secretary, Secretary of State, and other crucial positions.

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech on Wednesday, emphasizing the importance of accepting election results and continuing to fight for core American values. She also pledged to help facilitate a smooth transition of power.

President Joe Biden has congratulated Trump on his win and expressed his commitment to a peaceful transfer of power. He will address the nation on Thursday to discuss the election results and the next steps in the transition process.

The world awaits to see what Trump’s second term will bring, with his focus on reversing renewable energy policies, launching a mass deportation operation, and potentially reshaping the US’s global relations.
