Trump wins presidential election with swing state domination

Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a closely divided election to get back to the White House after losing the 2020 race to President Joe Biden.

Wisconsin was the state that pushed Trump over the 270 electoral vote threshold to secure a second, nonconsecutive term in the White House. He is the first president since Grover Cleveland became the 22nd and 24th president in 1885 and 1893.

He flipped Georgia back to Republicans, kept North Carolina red in the presidential race and shattered the "blue wall," winning Pennsylvania in a final crushing blow to Harris’ path to victory.

Trump basked in his victory with a crowded stage of family, campaign staff and other allies as the race started to be called by news organizations. He claimed Americans gave him a "powerful mandate" in electing him to serve another term along with a Republican Senate.

"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president — and your 45th president," he said. "Every citizen, I will fight for you, your family and your future. Every single day I will be fighting for you, and with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America."
