In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump won crucial battleground states, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Wisconsin. These victories secured him essential electoral votes. His strong performance in Florida and North Carolina further strengthened his lead. Trump’s wins in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and his strong showing in Michigan cemented his path to victory.
Trump was declared the winner early Wednesday. The Associated Press confirmed he surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed. By 5:35 a.m. ET, he had reached the necessary threshold to become president-elect. He celebrated with supporters, calling his campaign a historic movement. Vice President-elect JD Vance called the victory “the greatest political comeback in American history.”
Major networks confirmed Trump’s victory. Fox News made the first call at 2 a.m., followed by NBC and CNN, who declared Pennsylvania for Trump. He also won key states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona, with a strong showing in Florida. The Republican Party regained control of the Senate, flipping seats in Ohio and West Virginia.
