- Republicans gain solid Senate majority
- Republicans are expected to get control of Congress
Washington DC, Nov. 6 (DPnet).– The Associated Press reported that 
Donald Trump has won the 2024 election and will serve as president for a second time. Based on the number of votes cast thus far, the AP concluded that Vice President Kamala Harris had no statistical chance of winning, therefore they called the race early on Wednesday morning.
Donald Trump told jubilant crowds in Florida earlier: "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate". For someone who departed the White House amid the chaos of January 6th, with his reputation seemingly in ruins, his win marks a stunning return. He embarked on a four-year odyssey that brought him back to the height of American power after being harshly denounced by Democrats and even some Republican defectors.
Voters voted for the next President last Tuesday, November 5, along with candidates for numerous other federal, state, and municipal positions.
Seven battleground states determined the outcome of the presidential election: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin were won by former President Donald Trump. However, the certification of presidential results is extremely slow in Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, and results are still pending for the Senate, Congress, the presidential contest, and other positions. These seven battleground states were crucial to the outcome of the presidential contest.
Republicans, meanwhile, have taken control of the Senate and are attempting to retain control of the House, even though many contests are still too close to call. Today at noon, according to the AP, Republicans are holding 201 seats in Congress and Democrats 181. A 218-seat majority is required. 
Vice-president Kamala Harris has not conceded yet but will address the nation for the first time since her presidential election defeat in a speech to supporters later this afternoon or evening.
Donald Trump now has four more years to govern, and this time he will have a more established political organization behind him, ready to fulfill the promises he made during the campaign.
