Four years after Americans booted then-President Trump from the White House and he left Washington in political disgrace two months later, after trying to overturn his election loss, they are sending him back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Trump, 78, clinched Tuesday's election after a polarising and dizzying campaign marked by two attempts on his life and a late decision by Democrats to run Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race.
The 2024 US presidential election saw a seismic shift in American politics with former President Donald Trump making a powerful comeback, defying expectations and securing victory over his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris.
His opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris had secured only 224, while Trump claimed victory over the swing states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
