Republican candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday won the US presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, marking a stunning comeback and reclaiming the White House just four years after his previous term ended.
Trump will be the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in 1892 and only the second in history.
Trump was first elected president in 2016, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and vowing to "Make America Great Again."
He lost re-election to President Biden in 2020 during the global coronavirus pandemic but re-claimed the White House in 2024 after a nearly two-year campaign, vowing to "Make America Great Once Again."
Trump, 78, would be the oldest president ever elected. He would also be the first defeated president in 132 years to win another term in the White House, and the first person convicted of a felony to take over the Oval Office.
He survived one assassination attempt by millimeters at a July rally. Secret Service agents foiled a second attempt in September.
