The Fox News Decision Desk projects former President Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in a stunning victory, delivering him a second term in the White House after a historic election cycle filled with unprecedented twists and turns and two attempts on his life.
Trump defeated Vice President Harris, who entered this race just over 100 days ago.
Trump will be the first president to serve two nonconsecutive 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.”
The President-elect was pushed over the 270 electoral vote threshold after a stunning win in the battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
Trump’s comeback win was official after Fox News called Wisconsin in his favor, a state he narrowly lost in 2020.
Pennsylvania was one of the most important states Trump to won, with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign having identified it as one of three Rust Belt states on its “clearest path to 270 electoral votes.”
The once and future president also took Georgia, no doubt a sweet victory for him after a bitter, narrow loss there in 2020.
