Donald Trump has become the new President of the United States. Although the official election results have not been announced yet, the Republican candidate has already secured at least 270 electoral votes and is preparing for a return to the White House.
Spectacular defeat for Harris. "Biden the second biggest winner"
The 78-year-old politician was favored from the beginning of this year's elections. In numerous polls, he held a substantial lead over Joe Biden, and his ratings rose further after a televised debate that was particularly unsuccessful for the current head of state. That event led to Biden's eventual withdrawal from the race for a second term.
When Kamala Harris received the Democratic Party's nomination in the summer, party morale revived. In many polls, the vice president's ratings increased significantly, sparking hope for a victory over Donald Trump. However, as November 5th approached, public opinion polls became less favorable for Harris.
Ultimately, it is a defeat for the Democratic candidate, who, aware of her loss—similar to Hillary Clinton in 2016—did not address her supporters after the voting ended.
Shock was also evident among journalists in the CNN studio as they analyzed the exact election results. The results revealed that Harris did not perform better in any county than Biden did in 2020. "Oh, damn! Literally nothing?! Really not in a single county?!" asked a stunned Jake Tapper.
The discussion on American television was aptly summarized by Eric Abbenante, a documentarian and filmmaker. "Trump is the biggest winner of the election. Biden is the second biggest winner," Abbenante wrote on the X platform.
