A presidential campaign marked by upheaval and rancor is nearing its conclusion.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. With a win in Wisconsin , Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency. The victory validates his bare-knuckle approach to politics.
And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” he said in March 2023. This campaign often veered into the absurd, with Trump amplifying bizarre and disproven rumors that migrants were stealing and eating pet cats and dogs in an Ohio town. At one point, he kicked off a rally with a detailed story about the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer in which he praised his genitalia.
