Trump (78 years old) with multiple open legal cases, including the first criminal conviction of a former president in U.S. history, will return to the White House in January 2025 after a first term as 45th President (2017-2021) considered chaotic by many analysts and critics.

They chose not to turn the page, as Vice President Harris urged voters.

Trump’s triumph became clearer when he was able to confirm in the early hours of Wednesday his victory in the crucial Pennsylvania state, which provided 19 of the 538 Electoral College votes.

Observers anticipated that the road to the White House would definitely pass through that northeastern state, where both candidates campaigned vigorously.

Trump won Pennsylvania back four years after Democrat Joe Biden snatched it from him in 2020.
