2024 election results: Donald Trump wins US presidential election

Former President Donald Trump will become the 47th U.S. president, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a historic comeback after losing four years ago.

With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency.

Trump, 78, will begin his second term early next year after losing his first reelection bid to President Joe Biden back in 2020. 

Trump will be the first former president to return to office since Grover Cleveland regained the White House in the 1892 election. He is also the first person convicted of a felony to be elected president and, at 78, is the oldest person elected to the office. 

His vice president, 40-year-old Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will become the highest-ranking member of the millennial generation in the U.S. government.

Meanwhile, Republicans also took the Senate. If they get enough seats in the House, Trump’s party may regain full control of both the executive and legislative branches of government for the first time since early in Trump’s first term.
