Donald Trump Is the Next President of the United States

Culture

In one of the most divisive presidential races in political history, former President Donald Trump came out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris.

President-elect Trump’s campaign with Vice President-elect JD Vance was built on promises to save the economy, pass massive tax cuts, and carry out the “largest deportation” effort in U.S. history.

During one of his final appearances before Election Day, Trump told voters at a Pennsylvania rally: “We had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left. I shouldn’t have left.”

Trump is the only president in American history to get elected after being convicted of falsified business records. While in office the first time, he nominated three of the conservative justices who eliminated Roe v. Wade.

The 2024 presidential race was long and twisty and rife with unpredictability. The nation’s future felt like it was hanging in the balance following the devastating COVID-19 pandemic (which claimed the lives of more than 1.1 million Americans), a disturbing siege on the Capitol, and the loss of Roe.

The tumultuous, and at times violent, campaign trail didn’t make things easier. There were assassination attempts, burning ballot boxes, and baseless claims about Haitian immigrants eating domestic pets. As reported in several outlets, more than half the country reported feeling elevated levels of anxiety and stress leading up to Election Day.

Finally, after months of white-knuckling, the nation finally has its answer. On Jan. 20, 2025, Trump and Vance will take the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol.
