In a major development, Decision Desk HQ has projected former President Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, indicating he has secured the majority of electoral votes needed to win. The race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris was closely watched, especially in key battleground states.

With polls now closed in critical swing states, Trump has taken the electoral strongholds of Texas and Florida, along with battleground states North Carolina and Georgia, all contributing to his projected path to victory. Harris secured major states like New York, California, and Virginia.

Attention remains on the final results from five crucial swing states: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which are still being counted to confirm Trump’s win.

In a surprising turn in Dearborn, Michigan, Green Party nominee Jill Stein won 22% of the vote, reflecting a significant protest vote among local residents, many of whom are Arab Americans dissatisfied with the current administration’s foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly its support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Trump won the plurality in Dearborn with 47%, while Harris came in behind Stein, highlighting divisions within the electorate.

Trump is currently en route to the Palm Beach Convention Center, where he is expected to address his supporters in a watch party celebration, according to NBC News.

This result marks a significant political moment, as the U.S. presidential race outcome will shape the nation’s domestic and foreign policy directions over the coming four years.
