ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Donald Trump will return to the White House.” This is how CNN announces the victory of the Republican candidate in the U.S. presidential election, who has already won 276 votes of large voters, thus surpassing 270. Trump is the 47th president of the United States.
Donald Trump will thus return for the second time to lead the United States. The long-awaited head-to-head was not there; the Tycoon confirmed successes in the “obvious” states, but it was in the Swing States that his aggressive campaigning particularly made inroads.
Winning North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania (where Harris had invested so much), ahead in the other swing states when high and significant percentages were now passed. America has turned a corner after the four-year Joe Biden term. By midnight (Italian) Elon Musk of doubts had none: significant was the Tesla and X owner’s tweet, “Game, set and match.” The Republicans, after four years, have won the majority in the Senate and are favored for the House, although the (minimal) risk of a still “split” Congress is there.
Great enthusiasm in Palm Beach, Florida, long faces in Washington at Kamala Harris’ headquarters. Not even Barack Obama’s prophecy (“it will take time before the results”) came true, the vice president “won’t speak to supporters tonight, but she should speak tomorrow,” said her campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, as indigestible election results continued to come in from around the country. “We still have votes to count,” he said. Palpable disappointment awaits the outcomes of the other four “battleground states” (Wisconsin and Michigan in addition to Arizona and Nevada) but defeat is now assured. Democrats overwhelmed by a red avalanche. And Trump, followed by his staff and followers, arrived at the Palm Beach Convention Center for his first words as the 47th president of the United States of America.
In the hours immediately before the first polls closed, in Indiana and Kentucky, Trump had denounced via social “rumors” that there was “massive fraud” in the voting operations in Philadelphia. A denunciation (later extended to Michigan as well) that was dryly denied by local police, who told CNN that they were “not aware of what Trump is referring to.” He has (now) won Trump in the popular vote as well: he overtakes Harris even in votes counted one by one, sealing a triumph wider than any prediction. A red avalanche, in fact.
In the evening, Kamala Harris called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory in the U.S. presidential election. A spokesman for Harris told “Nbc News,” pointing out that the Democratic nominee discussed with the president-elect “the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans.”
