Mr. Donald Trump broke many records when he was re-elected for the second time.

Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to concede defeat four years ago and sparked a riot.

According to Sky News, with his victory in the swing state of Wisconsin, Mr. Trump has surpassed the threshold of 270 electoral votes needed to win against his opponent Kamala Harris in the US presidential election. Mr. Donald Trump will become the first president in more than 120 years to win non-consecutive terms. Previously, Mr. Grover Cleveland was the last to do so. Mr. Cleveland served as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States for terms of 1885-1889 and 1893-1897, respectively. In addition, he will break President Joe Biden's record as the oldest person, 79 years old, when he took office in January 2025. In 2020, Mr. Biden was the oldest presidential candidate elected, reaching the age of 78 on November 20, 2020. The previous record was held by Ronald Reagan, who became president at age 69. Mr. Trump is also on track to win the popular vote, something he failed to do in 2016 and 2020. When the vote is certified, it will be the first time a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote since 2004. Only George H.W. Bush has done so before, in 1988. Mr. Trump, born June 14, 1946, is the first person to be elected president after being convicted of a felony. His vice president, Ohio Senator JD Vance, 40, will become the highest-ranking millennial in the U.S. government .
