Donald Trump has secured a stunning political comeback, being projected as the 47th President of the United States early Wednesday. At 78, Trump defied expectations and overcame his 2020 loss by clinching key swing states, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. His strong performance among white rural voters and working-class communities, combined with significant support from ethnic minorities, propelled him to a projected Electoral College landslide.
Trump, speaking at a victory rally in Palm Beach County, Florida, declared, “There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond.” He added that his administration would focus on healing the nation, saying, “We’re going to fix our borders … fix everything about our country.”
In response to his win, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a congratulatory message, calling Trump’s victory a “huge victory” for both America and the longstanding alliance between Israel and the U.S. “This is a huge victory! In true friendship, yours, Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu,” Netanyahu wrote.
The win marks a historic moment in American politics, cementing Trump’s return to the White House after an unprecedented political journey.
