US Presidential Election Results 2024 Live: In a stunning political comeback, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, surpassing the critical 270 electoral votes and securing a total of 277 in the 2024 Presidential Election. Trump’s victory marks an extraordinary return to the White House after his controversial exit in 2020. Despite refusing to accept his 2020 loss, which led to the January 6 Capitol riots, his felony convictions, and the fact that he survived two assassination attempts, the former president managed to reclaim the nation’s highest office. His win in Wisconsin proved pivotal, putting him over the necessary electoral threshold.

At 78 years old, Trump becomes the oldest person to ever hold the presidency, cementing his place in history. From his beginnings as a business tycoon to a reality TV star, to becoming the first US president to face criminal convictions while in office, Trump has consistently defied political norms — and his latest victory is no exception.
