Donald Trump has secured his election as the 47th President of the United States, marking a historic comeback in American politics with a decisive victory in the key state of Wisconsin. The Associated Press announced his win at 5:34 AM Eastern Time on Wednesday.
Trump’s contest for Wisconsin delivered crucial 10 electoral votes against Vice President Kamala Harris, playing a decisive role in reaching the necessary 270 electoral votes. Both campaigns viewed Wisconsin as a strategic battleground and focused significant attention on it throughout the election.
This election marks Trump’s third presidential campaign. After winning in 2016 and passing the reins to Joe Biden in 2020, voters have once again entrusted him with the presidency.
Winning Wisconsin carries special symbolic significance for Republicans. In 2016, Trump became the first candidate from his party to win this traditionally Democratic state since Ronald Reagan, although he lost it to Biden four years later.
