Many were saying that it may take a few days to know the final result of the US presidential election. Who would have thought that the results would come out so quickly? Donald Trump has won the 47th presidential election of the United States by ending all calculations and breathless waiting. He returned to the White House. The two chambers of the legislature, the Senate and the House of Representatives, also went to Trump's Republican Party. As a result, the Republican Party can now rule the country in their own way. Trump will not need much momentum to pass the bill in Congress.
According to the latest results, Donald Trump secured the White House with 277 Electoral College votes. Kamala Harris got 223 electoral votes. At least 270 electoral votes are required to be elected president. Trump has more than 71.7 million votes. And Kamala got more than 6 crore 66 lakh votes. However, the results of Arizona, Nevada, Alaska, Michigan and Maine were yet to be announced until 10 pm Bangladesh time yesterday. However, except for Maine, Trump was ahead in the rest of the states.
Meanwhile, Republicans are victorious in the Senate, the upper house of the US Congress. There 52 seats have gone to Republicans. Democrats won 42 seats. The results are announced for the remaining six. At least 50 seats are required for a majority in the Senate.
The House of Representatives is also likely to be taken over by the Republicans. As of last count yesterday, Republicans had won 204 seats. And the Democrats got 182. A party needs to win at least 218 seats to get a majority in the 435-seat House of Representatives.
Analysts believe that behind the loss of Kamala Harris is the high cost of living during the Biden era, the lower-than-expected women's vote, the loss of many Muslim votes due to the war in Gaza, etc. Due to rising costs, many Americans are leaving the big cities and moving to smaller towns. A significant portion of US citizens struggling to afford the cost of living wanted a change in power. In addition, some believe that the United States, which approved women's suffrage in national elections in 1920, may not yet be ready for a female president.
The election results will ring alarm bells in capitals around the world due to Trump's eccentric leadership style and relationship with authoritarian leaders such as Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-un, according to Britain's influential newspaper 'Guardian'. Everyone will be looking at how much or what kind of changes are really made in the domestic and foreign policy of the US.
In an interview given to the German media organization Deutsche Welle on Wednesday, Francis Fukuyama of the Stanford University in the United States said that ordinary people vote for short-term problems, which do not end long-term important crises. Voting for Trump will not only change the United States, but it will also create a crisis for Europe.
After victory was all but assured, Trump told cheering supporters in Florida, “America has delivered an unprecedented and resounding verdict in our favor…. This will be America's Golden Age.”
78-year-old Trump is set to become the oldest US president-elect. Earlier, Joe Biden was elected president at the age of 77. Trump is going to be the first US president to be convicted of a criminal offense.
American citizens now want to see a country without war. The US has not been involved in any war during Trump's last term. War is a waste of money, and rows of coffins for dead soldiers. Americans understand this. Many Americans were unhappy with the Biden administration's stance on the Hamas-Israel conflict and the massive military and financial aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
According to observers, Trump's victory is an example of a stunning political comeback. He left the White House under the shadow of the scandal of the attack on the Congress building by his supporters. He is returning to the White House, the center of American power, after four years of turning around from that disaster.
Orange would not give a traditional speech on election night—the Democrats' attitude was evident from this announcement. As the prospect of Trump's victory became more and more clear, the leaders and workers of the Democratic Party began to leave the electoral office.

When I hit the streets of New York around 9 a.m. on November 5, the streets were pretty quiet. Standing outside a polling station in the Queens Village area, it seemed that voters were not coming. No one is standing in line. However, while standing in front of the polling station for a while, I saw voters coming out. They are people of different colors and ages.
Then I went to Brighton Beach. a long way The Brighton Beach area on the Atlantic side is mainly inhabited by immigrants from the former Soviet Union. According to many polls, Trump will vote more in this area. And those from Ukraine will vote for Kamala Harris.
Congratulations to the world leaders
After Trump's victory was confirmed, world leaders started congratulating him. In the meantime, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other leaders of European countries have congratulated. Although the Chinese government congratulated the country's President Xi Jinping, he did not say anything directly. And Russia has said that they have no plans to formally congratulate Trump.
