Trump: “It is a political victory that has not been seen before”

The Republican candidate for the Presidency, Donald Trump, was proclaimed the winner of the US elections early this Wednesday, in a victory that is close to being confirmed and that indicates that it has been overwhelming over Democrat Kamala Harris.

It will be the first time in more than a century that a former president becomes president again after losing an election and also the first time in which a convict becomes President of the country.

“What has happened is crazy, it is a political victory that has not been seen before in our country,” Trump proclaimed at an event held at the West Palm Beach (Florida) convention center, where his followers have gathered. wait for the results.

The former president (2017-2021) went out to celebrate, accompanied by his entire family and his vice-presidential formula, Ohio Senator JDVance, at 2:20 in the morning (7:20 GMT).

He presented himself even before mathematically obtaining the 270 delegates necessary to be president, although Fox, a channel related to the conservative party, had already predicted it a few minutes before.

America’s Golden Age

“We are going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help very urgently. “We are going to fix our borders,” said the president in a speech that lasted just over half an hour.

“This will truly be the golden age of the United States,” added the 78-year-old former president, who this year was convicted by a New York court of falsifying business records to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels during the US election campaign. 2016.

This is one of the cases for which he is charged and the only one for which he has been convicted.

He is also responsible for interfering in the last elections, which he lost to Joe Biden, and for the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, although as president he will have the power to order the Department of Justice to close the investigations against him.

A faster count than expected

Although, given the tightness of the polls, a long count was estimated that could even last days, the results have been known much faster than expected and the Republican has soon won North Carolina, Georgia and the coveted state of Pennsylvania.

The Democrats also lost control of the Senate, which fell into the hands of the Republicans after reaching the 51 votes necessary for the majority after four years in opposition.

The electoral battle now remains in control of the Lower House, which the Republicans aspire to retain and in which they have an advantage in the count, although there are still more than fifty seats to be decided.

A debacle for Harris

The one who did not come out to show her face tonight was the vice president, Kamala Harris, despite the fact that her followers were waiting for her at Howard University in the US capital, where she set up her headquarters.

Shortly after midnight, given the disastrous evolution of the count for the Democrats, the Harris campaign announced that she was not going to appear tonight.

Before dozens of people waiting for the vice president, who assumed the presidential candidacy after Joe Biden’s abandonment, a representative of her campaign came out briefly to explain that she will speak this Wednesday.

Before moving to West Palm Beach, Trump followed the results at his Mar-a-Lago mansion in South Florida.

He offered a dinner in which he was accompanied by various personalities, including the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo Bolsonaro, the British politician Nigel Farage and the magnate Elon Musk, one of the public figures who has been most present in his campaign.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr.⁣ Jane Thompson on Donald Trump’s Historic Election Victory**

**Interviewer:** Good afternoon, ​Dr.‌ Thompson. Thank you for joining us today. We are witnessing a significant⁤ moment in American political history with Donald Trump being declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election. What are your initial thoughts on this‍ development?

**Dr. Thompson:** Good afternoon!‍ Yes, this is indeed a historic moment. Trump’s victory marks the first time in over a century that a former president who lost an election has regained the presidency. ⁢Furthermore, this is unprecedented as he is the ‌first convicted individual to hold the ​office. It raises numerous questions about the implications for the political landscape and the rule of law in the⁤ United States.

**Interviewer:** Trump himself described this victory as a political phenomenon ‌not seen before. How do ⁤you see his​ claim in ⁣the context of American political history?

**Dr. Thompson:** Trump’s assertion highlights his unique ability to mobilize his base despite significant controversies surrounding ⁢his previous administration and his current legal issues. ‌Historically, former presidents have not returned to power after losing an election, particularly ⁣one as contentious ⁤as the one between him and Joe Biden. ⁤This could set a new precedent—where factors ⁣like personal⁢ legal struggles do not necessarily hinder ⁣a political comeback.

**Interviewer:** ‍In his victory speech, ⁤Trump emphasized healing the nation and described a “golden age” for ‍America. What do ‌you‌ think this means for his administration going forward?

**Dr. Thompson:** It’s important to analyze ⁢what he means by‍ “healing” and this so-called “golden age.” Given the polarization in the country, Trump will need to strike a ‌delicate balance in addressing the needs of a divided populace. Issues ⁣like immigration, economic recovery, and public health must be prioritized—and​ how he approaches them will shape his legacy and the future of the Republican‍ Party.

**Interviewer:** There’s also the issue of accountability given his past ​actions, including the January 6⁢ Capitol insurrection and falsifying business records. How do you think the legal matters surrounding Trump will impact his⁤ presidency?

**Dr.⁣ Thompson:** That’s‍ a‍ critical⁣ concern. His legal predicaments could ⁤overshadow his administration, affecting both domestic and⁤ international perceptions of U.S. leadership. While he can try to influence the ‍Department of Justice, the long-term repercussions of these investigations will likely loom over his presidency. This could mobilize⁣ both his⁤ supporters and detractors, either solidifying his base or galvanizing opposition.

**Interviewer:** With a faster count than expected, where do you see the potential challenges for Trump as he ‌embarks on this new term?

**Dr. Thompson:** The rapid counting and proclamation of his victory might have surprised many, but‍ moving forward, Trump will face challenges in governance—particularly in uniting ‌a fractured ‍Congress‍ and addressing the pressing ‍issues facing Americans. His ability to navigate these challenges without alienating critical segments of the electorate will be vital.

**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. ⁤Thompson, for ‍sharing ⁤your insights during ⁢this pivotal time in American politics.

**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you⁣ for having me! It will certainly be fascinating to see ‌how this all unfolds.
