About

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election was a pivotal event marked by the return of Donald Trump to the presidency. Trump, who previously served from 2017 to 2021, defeated Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in a contest that saw significant shifts in voter preferences. Trump became the first U.S. president to be elected to two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland. The election was notable for Trump's victory in the popular vote and his substantial majority in the Electoral College, capturing all seven swing states. The election also saw Republicans gain control of both the House and Senate, solidifying a Republican trifecta. Voter turnout was high at 63.9%, with key issues including the economy, healthcare, and foreign policy. Trump's campaign was marked by controversy, including false claims and divisive rhetoric. Despite these challenges, Trump improved his support among working-class voters, contributing to his electoral success. The outcome of the election has significant implications for U.S. domestic and foreign policy, reflecting broader shifts in American politics and global relations.
