For the second time in three elections, America has elected Donald Trump as its president.

The former president won his primary election in 2016 against Hillary Clinton before losing to current President Joe Biden in the 2020 race. This year, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a second term as commander in chief. He became the second president in American history to reclaim the title after previously being voted out.
