Trump won with a final tally of 312 electoral votes, defeating rival and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris who garnered 226.
Trump will serve as the 47th POTUS, signaling a significant shift in the country's political landscape.
The expected tight electoral college contest race did not happen.
Alan Lichtman, American University history professor and widely touted as "political Nostradamus" was at a loss for words, according to reports.
His 13-point system successfully predicted all previous presidential contests except for the 2000 Bush-Gore tussle.
But this time, he missed the mark.
This decisive victory for populist and often polarizing leader Donald Trump paves the way for his stunning return to the White House.
Trump's win is a confirmation of the growing regionalization of American politics that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris failed to address.
For all of her qualifications and accomplishments, Harris struggled to connect with voters on day-to-day concerns that resonate deeply and keep ordinary Americans awake at night - gut-level issues such as employment, immigration, crime, housing, and, most importantly, inflation.
Throughout her campaign, Harris' rhetoric largely focused on national and global issues such as climate change and social justice.
While these issues position the United States as the global leader, they failed to speak to working-class Americans whose primary concerns are economic stability and the rising cost of living.
