Trump Wins Elections 2024: Becomes the 47th US President

Donald Trump wins elections 2024 which would be his second term as the President of the United States. He has shown resilience despite several assassination attempts and massive criticism from all sides, and came with extraordinary support. 

Donald Trump has been re-elected for the second time, now against Kamala Harris, and will return to the White House. 

It was apparent that Trump had lost the cause of his Presidency four years ago but after two assassination attempts and two presidential impeachments, Trump did not give up. He has other criminal convictions and charges that still need to be sorted. 

The recap of Trump’s election 2024 victory 

Trump won with heavy margins in Texas and Florida while Kamala Harris won with great support in New York, California and Virginia. 

The battlegrounds where Trump faced strict competition were Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. 

Many critics have given a closure on the reason that led to Kamala Harris’ loss in elections 2024. They believe that her constant struggle to make people realise what she would do differently from Joe Biden was a flawed electoral campaign that proved fatal for now. 

Trump had already declared his electoral victory in last night’s speech in West Palm Beach, Florida. Even today, he got a chance to make his early victory speech when he had won 270 electoral votes. 

He said,

“Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness”. 

What happens to criminal charges as Trump wins elections 2024 

Several charges against Trump included 19 named defendants of his criminal wrongdoings and had a total of 41 state-law felony charges. 

Thirteen of these felonies were in the name of Trump. For instance, the allegations against the newly elected president include one count of filing fraudulent documents, two counts of making false statements and writings, two counts of conspiracy, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, and so on. 

Also, there is a New York Hush Money Trial against Donald Trump that revolves around falsifying business records for covering up a payment worth $130,000 to an adult film actress Stormy Daniels. This is considered the first criminal charge against the newly elected US president. 

Trump might find it hard to persuade the people of Georgia and Manhattan to accept him as their President as the state cases in these two regions have caused problems for him. 

Trump faced illegal charges for forging elections in 2020 in Georgia. 

Now that Trump has won the elections in 2024, Trump’s lawyers are trying to convince the judges to drop cases against Trump. In most of the cases, the sources have confirmed that Trump has pleaded ‘not guilty’. 

What is expected from Trump now? 

Now that he is elected as the next President of the United States, Trump will enter the Oval Office with the experience of having done some right and some wrong acts. However, with such an experience altogether, he says that he has learned some lessons that he believes would help him set the system right. 

Kamala Harris had warned the voters of the risks if Trump gets elected but his supporters are positive that he would fix what is broken within the country. They believe that Trump is the one who would abandon the long-held old principles of politics and would come up with a new vision. 

Trump’s vision might have seemed shifted since he left office in January 2021 despite his daughter and her husband having been active in campaigns. His daughter, Ivanka Trump clarified that she had no plans to return to the West Wing. 

Still, Trump seemed to be relying on his White House officials, Elon Musk and Susie Wiles for the massive support he had otherwise been able to gather for his third run for Elections 2024. 

People who know him closely have admitted that he has grown and even become angrier. The cases against Trump still don’t have any transparent future but he had been consumed with matters, either hidden or open, which had made him angry. 

Now, he has become blunt and makes no attempt to hide his fury. He might have been thinking that this rage would help him get those missions and deadlines on the set dates since he has suffered previously due to the incompetency of meeting deadlines for various projects. 

Will support for Ukraine continue from the US’s side? 

Now that Trump is back in the game, it is expected that the United States might take one step back from supporting Ukraine against Russia’s war. 

This would have a decisive impact on making an adjustment to a dramatic reduction in the US’s support for the war-induced regions since the US has been asking Israel, its greatest ally in the war against Hamas and Hezbollah, that they should reach a ceasefire deal. 

Biden’s administration has helped Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars in aid. Ukraine’s commander-in-chief confirmed that the situation on the front line is recently becoming “difficult” as Russia has been making gains in several regions of Ukraine. 

On the other hand, Trump has surprisingly praised Vladimir Putin and on several occasions, has criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which is a complicated state of relationship. Even this had been a highlighted focal point for Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 where Trump made efforts to leverage US military aid to Ukraine and investigate the previous President’s political enmities. 

Trump himself said that if he had been the President of the United States, he wouldn’t have let the Russia-Ukraine war happen. He claimed to have ended the years-long conflict between these two regions if he had been in control of the office. He asserted that he could have ended the conflict in one day. 

Even Putin congratulated Trump on Wednesday and praised his commitment to bringing “peace through strength”. 

Leaders of other countries congratulate Trump’s Presidency win

“Congratulations to the President on your election victory. The world needs more leaders who speak for the people. Zimbabwe stands ready to work with you and the American people to build a better, more prosperous and more peaceful world with you”.

Similarly the Prime Minister of Ethiopia wrote on X,

“Congratulations to President Donald Trump on your election victory and comeback. I look forward to working together to further strengthen the relationship between our two countries during your term”.
