former President Trump is projected to win the presidency, securing a second term nearly four years after he left Washington under a cloud of ignominy and with an uncertain political future, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
DDHQ made the call after declaring Trump the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Alaska, which got him to exactly 270 electoral votes.
Trump defeated Vice President Harris in an election that saw a number of unexpected developments: A criminal trial involving Trump during the campaign, two assassination attempts against the former president and a change atop the Democratic ticket after President Biden dropped out of the race.
He becomes the first president in more than 120 years to lose the White House, and then to come back and win it again, after President Grover Cleveland in 1892.
Trump secured the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House following a roughly 100-day sprint of a campaign between him and Harris, with polling in seven key battleground states showing very little separation between the two candidates right up until Election Day.
The former president ultimately won a convincing victory, flipping Georgia back into his column, holding North Carolina and shattering the “blue wall.” He was projected to narrowly win the popular vote, something he failed to do in 2016 and that Republicans have only done once since 1992.
The former president and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), capitalized on voter discontent with higher costs, a surge in migration at the southern border and instability abroad during the Biden administration to pitch voters on a return to his policies.
Exit polls showed Trump making huge gains with Latino voters, bolstering his margins in rural areas and running nearly even with Harris among young men, a demographic Trump’s campaign aggressively courted.

FoxNews Calls it for Trump, winning Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
God bless America and Trump
The Hill staff is on a suicide watch after all the anti-Trump articles that they put out over the past year and then having to write this one.
No speech by Kamala. She shouda took her loss like a man. Hillary couldn’t either. Is this the best women have to offer?
*third time
Deep state is conceding.
Interesting way to describe an invasion facilitated by traitors within.....
Totally epic. Had someone written a novel with this plot it would have been considered too far fetched.
Yet, here we are.
I am so happy!
3rd time
Nope.
Good.
Seriously. As things went down hill through the evening, a large number of her supporters remained on site at Howard Univ, waiting to hear comfort and hope from her. They were unceremoniously told to get lost. Typical rat using people until they can do you no more good, then kick them to the curb
Stupid loses!
Sky News Australia said that Harris was a no show at her rally and the people there were told to go home and that Harris will address supporters tomorrow...
She could not even show up and face her own supporters....
Pretty typical of Tonsil Bruiser 9k, she got her start using and being used.
FDR four times
Trump three times
Does this mean that Trump won all of the swing states?
