Chandigarh, November 6

Donald J. Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, capitalizing on concerns about inflation and immigration to reclaim the presidency, making him the first former US President since Grover Cleveland to win a second term after a defeat on Wednesday. Voters viewed Trump as a decisive leader and economic advocate, overlooking his legal battles, including 34 felony counts and charges related to the Capitol riot and classified documents. At 78, Trump becomes the oldest person elected President after a highly turbulent campaign, the US-based news outlet The New York Times reported.

Donald Trump faces multiple critical global issues. These include the possibility of pushing Russian President Vladimir Putin toward a resolution on Ukraine, encouraging Korea’s Kim Jong-Un to return to negotiations, deterring China’sambitions over Taiwan, and compelling Iran to restrain its militias to avoid a potential Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities. The outcome of these challenges may significantly shape Trump’s foreign policy agenda and global influence.

Trump, first elected in 2016, lost his re-election bid to Joe Biden in 2020. Following the loss, Trump unsuccessfully attempted to block Biden’s inauguration, culminating in the January 6 Capitol riot. In the years that followed, he faced multiple felony charges, including 34 counts of business fraud, and was found liable ina civil case for sexual abuse. Several legal cases remain ongoing, the news outlet The Guardian reported.

Four years after leaving Washington amid controversy over his 2020 election efforts, Donald Trump secured a comeback victory despite facing two assassination attempts, two impeachments, a criminal conviction, and various other charges, the news outlet CNN reported. At his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump promised to”heal” the nation, strengthen borders, and revitalize the economy. His message resonated with millions of voters frustrated by rising food and housing costs and drawn to his stance on cracking down on undocumented migration, the news outlet said.

While addressing a jubilant crowd at his campaign headquarters in Florida, Trump said “This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump proclaimed, invoking his signature campaign slogan.Trump told supporters that the day would be remembered as one of the most important in their lives, referencing his party’s anticipated return to Senate control. He also thanked his wife, Melania, calling her “First Lady” and praising her bestselling book and hard work. The former president expressed gratitude toward his children, who stood with him on stage, and introduced JDVance as his choice for vice president.

Vance cheered by the crowd, and took the mic to describe Trump’s campaign as “the greatest political comeback ever.” Trump added humorously that Vance was the right choice, despite earlier criticism over his selection.

In another development in US elections, Usha Vance, a distinguished lawyer and daughter of Indian immigrants, is poised to become the ‘Second Lady’ of the United States following Donald Trump’s election win and the announcement of JD Vance as President. Raised in suburban San Diego, 38-year-old Usha’s ascension resonates in her ancestral village in Andhra Pradesh, where residents hope for renewed connections and benefits stemming from this historic milestone, according to media reports.
