Trump Secures Second Term as US President
Major media outlets have declared former President Donald Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election, securing 270 electoral votes.

In his victory speech, Trump hailed his campaign as the ‘greatest political movement of all time’ and pledged a radical overhaul of the federal government, including a comprehensive audit led by Elon Musk.
