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

The former president won his first election in 2016 over Hillary Clinton before losing out to current President Joe Biden in the 2020 race. This year, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to earn a second term as commander-in-chief, becoming the second president in American history to win back the title after previously being voted out of office.
