Donald Trump secured a remarkable comeback victory in the US presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris. The announcement came on November 6, after electoral college results showed Trump leading with 277 votes, surpassing Harris's 224 votes.

Although predictions indicated a tight race, Trump's decisive win materialized swiftly, with key swing states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania falling in his favor.

Trump celebrated his victory at a party in Florida, stating, “It's a political victory like our country has never seen before.”

Donald Trump's historic win marks a remarkable comeback, making him the first US president in over a century to secure a second, non-consecutive term. This achievement also sets another record, as Trump will surpass Joe Biden as the oldest president to serve in office, with Biden retiring in January at 82.

Trump's victory sparked swift congratulations from world leaders, including long-time supporters Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also extended his congratulations, expressing hope that Trump's “impressive victory” could lead to a “just peace” for Ukraine.

Zelensky's message highlighted Ukraine's commitment to ensuring long-term peace and security in Europe, alongside their US allies. He appreciated Trump's “peace through strength” approach, hoping to put it into action together. Other leaders, like Hungarian Prime Minister Orban Viktor, praised Trump's comeback as the biggest in US political history.

Additionally, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the EU-US partnership, urging cooperation on a strong transatlantic agenda. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte expressed optimism that Trump would strengthen the alliance despite previous criticisms.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential victory, with Macron pledging to work with him “with respect and ambition.”

Trump's win is particularly remarkable given the challenges he faced during his campaign, including an unprecedented criminal conviction and a near-miss assassination attempt in September. A former chief of staff even labeled him a “fascist” during the campaign. Despite these obstacles, Trump secured a decisive victory, winning key swing states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
