Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election. Trump, who announced his reelection campaign in 2022, is the second president in US history to be elected to two nonconsecutive terms. Trump declared victory early on Wednesday, followed by the AP, The New York Times, and other outlets.

Trump has made immigration, the border, and the economy hallmarks of his reelection campaign. As the Republican nominee, he promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, suggested that he’d sign a ban on abortion after 15 weeks, and pledged to embrace Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. His allies at the Heritage Foundation and the America First Policy Institute have drafted hundreds of executive orders ahead of Trump’s second term. Their plans include a dismantling of the federal bureaucracy and a crackdown on legal immigration.

Trump — who challenged the results of the 2020 presidential election and whose supporters stormed the Capitol amid efforts to certify the election — repeatedly refused to say he’d accept the results of the 2024 election unless he won. Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s running mate, has also refused to say whether he believes Trump lost the 2020 election.
