Donald Trump has claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election after winning key states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Though not all votes have been counted yet, Trump, who previously served as president, has gained support from Hispanic voters and low-income households due to concerns over the economy. Many voters say their financial situation is worse than it was four years ago, and they favored Trump.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, hasn’t spoken to her supporters yet, as not all votes have been counted. Harris and Trump both warned that democracy in America is at risk.
Trump performed better than he did in 2020, gaining more votes in cities, rural areas, and across different income groups. The election remains close, but Trump’s support is growing in many parts of the country.
Despite challenges and disputes over the fairness of the election, both candidates’ campaigns continue to push on as the race heats up. History will be made, whether Trump wins his second non-consecutive term or Harris becomes the first woman and woman of color to hold the presidency.
