Donald Trump recaptured the White House with a sweeping victory on Wednesday, defeating Kamala Harris in a frenzied contest to stage an improbable historic comeback.
"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president," Trump said in his victory speech.
Trump's victory underscores just how deep voters' frustrations were surrounding inflation and immigration, Republicans' two top issues this election cycle as polls consistently showed Americans' unhappiness with how Biden handled them.
Trump, 78, ended up with at least 279 electoral votes after clinching wins in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin.
Vice President Kamala Harris has won at least 219 votes.
