President-elect Trump promises a “golden age of America” as Vice President Harris calls for unity.
In a sweeping victory, Donald Trump has reclaimed the White House in the 2024 presidential election, securing both the popular vote and a decisive electoral college win.
Addressing his supporters, President-elect Trump declared the beginning of a “golden age of America” and celebrated what he described as “the greatest political movement of all time.”
His victory marks one of the most significant comebacks in recent U.S. political history.
Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Trump on Wednesday to formally congratulate him, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful transition of power.
Harris stressed the need for unity and the significance of serving as a leader for all Americans, a message that aligns with the high voter turnout seen this year, with up to 150 million Americans participating in the democratic process.
Next steps in the formal transition include the electoral college vote on December 17, where electors will cast their ballots in favor of Trump and vice president-elect J.D. Vance.
These votes will be officially counted on January 6, 2025, in the House of Representatives, setting the stage for the Trump-Vance administration to take office on January 20.
As the country looks ahead, Trump’s supporters are hopeful his return will usher in a new era for the nation.
