00:00Donald Trump was elected as the next U.S. President, according to projections by major
00:07U.S. media outlets, as he capped a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out
00:12of the White House.
00:13The 78-year-old Republican candidate recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more
00:18than the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidency.
00:23Edison Research projected that Trump won 70.7 million votes against 65.7 million votes
00:31garnered by his rival Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, with 87 percent of the total
00:36votes tallied.
00:38The former president's victory in the swing state of Wisconsin pushed him over the 270
00:43threshold.
00:45America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.
00:53We have taken back control of the Senate.
00:57Wow.
00:58And the Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin.
01:14The great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania were all won by the MAGA movement.
01:21They helped so much.
01:23Frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.
01:29There's never been anything like this in this country.
01:32Trump's victory was greeted by a roaring crowd of his supporters at the election night party
01:36held at Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida.
01:40Besides Wisconsin, Trump was projected to have also won the swing states of North Carolina,
01:46Pennsylvania and Georgia.
01:48Trump's political career had appeared to be over after his false claims of election fraud
01:52led a mob of supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6th in 2021 in a failed
01:58bid to overturn his 2020 defeat.
02:02Trump served as the president from January 2017 until January 2021 after winning the
02:072016 election.
02:10He is the second president in U.S. history to be elected in non-consecutive terms after
02:15Grover Cleveland in 1892.
