Donald Trump is projected to win the presidency, securing a second term after a tumultuous four years away from Washington, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).

This remarkable comeback made Trump the first president in over 120 years to lose the White House and then reclaim it, following in the footsteps of President Grover Cleveland in 1892.

Former President Donald Trump has been tipped as the winner of the US presidential election after winning top battlefield states.

How Trump returned as US president

According to The Hill, Trump's path to victory was marked by unexpected twists, including a criminal trial during the campaign, two assassination attempts, and a change in the Democratic ticket after President Biden dropped out. Despite these challenges, Trump secured 270 electoral votes by winning Pennsylvania and Alaska, edging out Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump's campaign successfully tapped into voter discontent with the Biden administration, focusing on issues like rising costs, border migration, and global instability. Exit polls showed Trump making significant gains among Latino voters and performing well among young men. His pledge to extend tax cuts, impose tariffs, and roll back protections for transgender youth resonated with his base.

This election marks a significant shift in the GOP, with Trump poised to further shape the party in his image. His victory may also strengthen the conservative grip on the Supreme Court, as Republicans regained the Senate majority. Despite being indicted in four jurisdictions and convicted on 34 felony counts, Trump's loyal base propelled him to victory.
