Donald Trump elected 47th president of the United States of America
Donald Trump will become the next US president after clinching victory in the key battleground state of Wisconsin.
With that victory in hand, Trump crossed the 270 electoral votes needed to be declared victorious in the vote that will see him return to the White House.
“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” Trump said early on Wednesday to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida.
US networks Fox News, CNN and NBC declared Trump the incoming president after projecting that he had secured enough Electoral
College votes following wins over Harris in battleground states including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Trump is the first former president to return to power since Grover Cleveland regained the White House in the 1892 election.
Trump is also the first person convicted of a felony to be elected president and, at 78, is the oldest person elected to office.
