Trump's triumph

Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election is nothing short of remarkable. After a term marked by political turmoil, a highly publicized impeachment, and an infamous insurrection at the US Capitol, his return to the White House is now almost inevitable.

With crucial wins in swing states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, Trump's path to the presidency is now cemented. His success has made him the first Republican in nearly two decades to win the popular vote, a feat not seen since George W. Bush in 2004.

For Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, this election has been a jolting reminder. Despite the excitement surrounding Harris as the first woman of Black and South Asian descent to hold the office of vice president, her campaign faced consequential challenges. While she was able to maintain strong support in Democratic strongholds, her push to reclaim states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—once considered secure—has faltered. Losing Pennsylvania was a blow, narrowing her already slim chances of winning. As the results unfolded, Harris' path to victory seemed to grow narrower, with Trump pulling ahead in key battleground states.
