Donald Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election. Trump has more than the 270 electoral college votes needed in the US system to give him a victory over Democrat candidate Kamala Harris. Harris is the current Vice President of the USA. He replaced President Joe Biden as the Democrat candidate after he decided in the summer not to stand again. Before the election, many experts expected the election result to be closer than it has been. Donald Trump will become the first US president in over 130 years to have a gap between his two presidencies. During the campaign, Trump survived two assassination attempts. Trump leaders have started congratulating him on his victory.
