Wins 2024 Presidential Election
Trump wins the 2024 Presidential election, defeating Harris to become the 47th President. The campaign became increasingly confident at 1:20am when Pennsylvani was called for Trump. At 2am Trump appeared to speak:
This is a movement like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said. “This is I believe the greatest political movement of all time. There’s never been anything like this in this country and now it’s going to reach a new level of importance, because we’re going to help our country heal. We’re going to fix our borders. We’re going to fix everything about our country … I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve, this will truly be the golden age of America.
By 5.37am the Associated Press called Wisconsin for Trump, with the state’s 10 electoral college votes tipping Trump’s total to 277 – more than the 270 votes needed to win the presidency. Trump also won the popular vote. Trump will be the first president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland, who was in office from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897.
Michigan certified as Trump win
Nearly three weeks after the election, Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers certifies Trump’s 10,704-vote victory. He wins the state’s 16 electoral votes, the first Republican presidential nominee to win the state since 1988. The two-tenths of a percentage point margin out of nearly 4.8 million votes is the closest presidential race in Michigan in more than 75 years. Trump’s win in Michigan gives him 306 electoral votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232.
