00:00Donald Trump has won the US presidential election, defeating Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
00:11Former President Trump beat another female candidate in 2016 when he beat Hillary Clinton,
00:17but was beaten himself in 2020 by the current President Joe Biden.
00:22But four years later, despite facing criminal charges and alleged responsibility over the
00:27January 6th riots, Trump has landed the role of President again.
00:32He beat Harris by winning over key swing states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia
00:38and Wisconsin.
00:40The Republican candidate also won the popular vote, something he didn't even achieve when
00:45he won back in 2016.
00:47I caught up with two Londoners who had lived in America to see what they thought of the
00:53presidential result.
00:54I've lived 12 years in the States and I left, I mean, I'm totally apolitical, you know,
00:59I don't follow politics that much, but it does affect at some point, right?
01:03And what was going on was not acceptable anymore for me.
01:06So I now, I was in the choice of renewing my US passport or not, you know, it's expired
01:13in July and I was living in Miami for the past four years during COVID.
01:18And now I think I'm going to renew it and go back more often.
01:23All this talk of civil war and all these other things that have been resounding on social
01:29media don't, none of that seems to, you know, gonna happen.
01:34So that's good because we want the US to be stable and get on with it.
01:37And I have friends on both ends of the spectrum and so yeah, some people are happy, some people
01:44are not happy, but the whole thing about democracy is it's not perfect, right?
01:49So Trump and his crew got there four years and if anybody with a different view, you
01:55know, wants to feel differently about it, they have to wait four years.
