Former US President Donald Trump has successfully won his presidential election for a second term to head back to the White House in 2024. The US media has already projected that he has recorded crucial victories in the battle battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Before this, the candidate had already claimed to have won because of his crossing the line of 270 electoral votes for president.
In addition to these decisive wins, Trump leads in other swing states like Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan, making him more likely to go into the presidency. This is historic since he becomes the first US president over a century to have secured non-consecutive terms. He also happens to be the oldest candidate ever elected to the presidency in the United States, at 78.
