Harris concede presidential race to Trump
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly called President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday to congratulate him on his victory against her in the 2024 race for the presidency. Harris is scheduled to speak at Howard University in Washington, D.C., at 4 p.m. ET.
A victory in Wisconsin early Wednesday gave Trump 277 Electoral College votes, pushing him past the 270 needed to secure the White House. The Associated Press called the race for Trump Wednesday morning, making him the 47th president of the United States. Hours later, the Associated Press called Michigan for Trump as well. The wins in Wisconsin and Michigan followed key Trump victories in Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina — all critical swing states that acted as decisive territories in the presidential race. Trump, as of now, is also leading in the popular vote with 51% of returns.
Trump will become the second president to lose a reelection campaign but return to the White House four years later. The only other president to win a nonconsecutive term was Grover Cleveland in 1892.
