Trump secured the required 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency, marking only the second time in U.S. history that a president has served two non-consecutive terms. The last was Grover Cleveland, who served as president in 1884 and 1892. Trump previously served as U.S. President from 2016 to 2020.
