This is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic comebacks in U.S. political history.
Four years after departing the White House, Donald Trump is poised to return, as millions of Americans cast their votes to grant him a second term.
This election campaign was historic: he survived two assassination attempts, and his initial opponent, President Joe Biden, withdrew just months before election day.
Though final vote counts are ongoing, a majority in key battleground states chose Trump, with many voters pointing to the economy and immigration as primary issues.
His victory follows a remarkable rebound. After losing the 2020 election to Biden, he refused to accept the results, and his efforts to overturn the outcome remain under scrutiny to this day.

Trump still faces charges for allegedly inciting the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He also makes history as the first sitting president convicted of a felony, after being found guilty of falsifying business records.
It’s clear why he remains a deeply polarizing figure.
Throughout the campaign, Trump employed fiery rhetoric, often making provocative jokes and vowing retribution against his political opponents.
