Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on democracy, and leaving the White House in disgrace, Donald Trump will return to Washington, DC, as the 47th president of the United States.
His 2024 election victory against Vice President Kamala Harris marks a startling political rebound for the Republican demagogue since his losing reelection bid in 2020—and a deeply troubling turn for the country, as a twice-impeached convicted felon with authoritarian aspirations will assume the most powerful job in the world.
Thus concludes a long, tumultuous presidential cycle, one in which Trump survived an assassination attempt and his initial opponent, President Joe Biden, unexpectedly exited the race amid concerns about his age. (Meanwhile, Trump, at 78, has become the oldest person to ever be elected president.) Harris, 60, entered the presidential race back in July, infusing a fatigued Democratic Party with much-needed energy and optimism, and tapped Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate the following month. She would have been the first woman—as well as the first Black and South Asian woman—to win the White House.
And to all of the Trump supporters out there. We promise to make the transition, and the coming four years just as smooth, and accepting as you did the last four years of the Biden administration.
Be seeing you soon.
