Donald Trump was Wednesday elected the US President for a second term in one of the greatest political comebacks in American history, four years after an election loss in 2020 that sparked a violent insurrection at the US Capitol.
The 78-year-old Republican leader, convicted of felony charges and awaiting sentencing in a hush-money case in New York, defeated his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in a bitterly fought election.
According to races called by the Associated Press, 292 electoral votes had gone to Trump and 224 to Harris.
Trump, the oldest person in US history to be elected President, crossed the halfway 270 votes-mark in electoral college votes with victory in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
Addressing his supporters at West Palm Beach in Florida, Trump declared his victory in the presidential election, calling the mandate "unprecedented and powerful".
"Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason," Trump said, referring to the two assassination attempts on his life during the election campaign this year.
Amid cheers of his jubilant supporters and his family by his side, Trump declared that this will be the "golden age" of America.
"This is a magnificent victory for the American people. This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond," Trump said.
