West Palm Beach, Florida – In a momentous political comeback, Donald Trump has won the US presidential election, securing 279 electoral votes and reclaiming the White House. Jubilant crowds gathered in Florida to hear Trump, who declared, “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.” With key victories in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Trump has surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed, with Kamala Harris trailing behind at 223.

In addition to winning the presidency, Republicans also reclaimed control of the Senate after flipping a series of critical seats, solidifying a shift in power within Congress. Kamala Harris has yet to address her supporters or officially concede, as her dejected supporters dispersed early from her watch party before the final result was announced.

Key Policy Points for Trump's Upcoming Term

Now that Trump has won, attention turns to his proposed policies on pivotal issues like the economy, immigration, taxes, climate, and abortion.

Economy: Trump has pledged to “end inflation and make America affordable again” by significantly expanding US energy production. He aims to open areas such as the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling to reduce energy costs.

Taxes: Trump has proposed sweeping tax cuts valued at trillions of dollars, including extending his 2017 tax reforms, which primarily benefited wealthy individuals. He claims the revenue gap will be covered by increased economic growth and tariffs on imports.

Immigration: Continuing with his strong stance on immigration, Trump promises to seal the US border with Mexico by completing the wall construction initiated in his previous term. He has also committed to executing the largest deportation of undocumented migrants in US history.

Climate: Trump previously rolled back numerous environmental protections, including limits on carbon dioxide emissions and safeguards for federal waterways. He intends to dismantle additional regulations and reverse the Biden administration’s policies supporting electric vehicles, particularly Biden’s clean energy transition plans.

Abortion: While Trump’s stance on abortion has fluctuated, he consistently frames it as a “states' rights” issue. Three Supreme Court judges appointed by him previously were instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade, a decision that reshaped the legal landscape of abortion in the US.

With the election results confirmed, Trump’s return to the White House is poised to usher in sweeping changes across these policy areas, setting the stage for a presidency aimed at reestablishing his agenda and delivering on the promises made to his voter base.
