Donald Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election, defeating Democratic contender Kamala Harris. His victory in Wisconsin pushed him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
Trump becomes the first former president to return to power in non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland's comeback in 1892, and also the first convicted criminal to win the presidency.
Political leaders from around the globe congratulated Trump on his victory, with German Chancellor Scholz and French President Macron discussing what a second Trump term could mean for Europe.
Republicans have also gained control of the Senate by flipping seats in Ohio and West Virginia, solidifying their political standing alongside Trump's presidential win.
