AP has stated that former President Donald Trump, 78, is the winner of the 2024 Presidential election over his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris, 60.
Trump focused his campaign on what he perceived as failures under the Biden administration, such as issues like the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. After Harris was announced as the nominee, his main focus was to tie her to these issues and the Biden administration.
Harris was an unprecedented candidate. She was the first woman of color on a major party ticket and joined the race very late after President Joe Biden stepped aside. She tried to focus much of her campaign on giving herself a political identity separate from Biden and advocating for economic reforms targeted at helping the middle and working class.
