Donald Trump was projected to become the 47th president early Wednesday, completing the most incredible political comeback in American history.
Trump, 78, was on course for an Electoral College landslide over Vice President Kamala Harris after he was projected to reverse his 2020 losses in the crucial states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — running up big margins among his white rural and working class base while making significant inroads among ethnic minorities.
The former president’s victory was the highlight of a big night for Republicans, who were also projected to regain control of the Senate after four years in the minority.
