**WASHINGTON, D.C. -** In a stunning upset, Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States for a second term, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris by a narrow margin.

Despite losing the popular vote in both 2016 and 2020, Trump managed to win the Electoral College in 2024, earning a victory that surprised many political observers.

The 2024 election was exceptionally close, with Trump winning by approximately 3 percentage points. However, the president-elect saw significant improvements in support across various regions and demographic groups, a departure from his past campaigns.

Trump’s victory was fueled by gains in counties nationwide, including urban, suburban, and rural areas. Notably, he even outperformed his previous performance in traditionally Democratic strongholds like New Jersey and his hometown of New York City.

Further illustrating the shift in support, Maverick County, Texas, a majority Latino border county that Biden won easily in 2020, swung significantly in Trump’s favor.

Trump also saw a surge in support among both men and women voters, exceeding his 2020 performance. His campaign’s focus on winning over men proved particularly effective, with his support among them increasing from 49% in 2020 to 55% in 2024.

While Democrats focused on women voters and abortion access during the election, Trump still managed to increase his support among women, gaining two percentage points from 43% in 2020 to 45% in 2024.

Trump’s victory can be attributed to both solidifying his base with traditional Republican groups like evangelical voters and also gaining ground among groups traditionally supporting Democrats, including young voters and Latino voters.

Miami-Dade County, Florida, which Biden won in 2020, flipped to Trump in 2024, marking the first Republican victory there since 1988.

Trump’s second term promises a new chapter in American politics, with the implications of his victory yet to be fully understood.
