Donald Trump has been re-elected as President of the United States, securing a second term following a closely contested race against Kamala Harris. Trump's victory, achieved with 277 electoral votes as per the Associated Press, marks a significant political comeback four years after leaving the White House.

Despite numerous challenges, including two assassination attempts and criminal convictions, the 78-year-old Republican leader successfully rallied support around issues like the economy and immigration. His convincing win in battleground states such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania helped him surpass the necessary 270 electoral votes.

The outcome surprised many in the Harris camp, leading to canceled celebrations. Meanwhile, Trump addressed jubilant supporters, promising to lead America into a 'golden age.' World leaders, including India's PM Modi and France's President Macron, extended their congratulations on Trump's remarkable return to power.
