Synopsis
US Election 2024 Results Live Updates: US President Joe Biden said the elections show that the US electoral system can be trusted and in an indirect dig at Donald Trump, says that one cannot love the country only when one wins.
2024 US Election Results Live News: Donald Trump was elected the US president for a second term in one of the greatest political comebacks in American history, four years after an election loss in 2020 that sparked a violent insurrection at the US Capitol. The 78-year-old Republican leader, convicted of felony charges and awaiting sentencing in a hush-money case in New York, defeated his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in a bitterly fought election.
According to races called by the Associated Press up to 7 pm (IST), 277 electoral votes had gone to Trump and 224 to Harris.
China has reacted guardedly to Donald Trump's election as the US president for the second time, saying it will continue to handle China-US relations in accordance with the "principles of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence." The state media, however, said Trump's victory could mark a new beginning in China-US relations "if the chance that has been offered is not wasted."
The wary reaction came amid heightened concerns and uncertainties here over Trump's assertions to continue tough policy towards Beijing, especially further hiking tariffs on Chinese exports.
"The presidential election of the United States is its internal affair. We respect the choice of the American people," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing while responding to questions on Trump's win.
Trump, the oldest person in US history to be elected president, crossed the halfway 270 votes-mark in electoral college votes with victory in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
Addressing his supporters at West Palm Beach in Florida, Trump declared his victory in the presidential, calling the mandate "unprecedented and powerful".
"Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason," Trump said, referring to the two assassination attempts on his life during the election campaign this year.
Amid cheers of his jubilant supporters and his family by his side, Trump declared that this will be the "golden age" of America.
"This is a magnificent victory for the American people. This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond," Trump said.
"And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal. We'll help our country...we have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly," he said.
Soon after projections indicated Trump's victory, congratulatory messages started pouring in from world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, for his "historic return to the White House".
After President Grover Cleveland (1885-1889 and 1893-1897), Trump is the only person to return to the White House for another term after a gap of four years.
Trump served as President from January 2017 to January 2021.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Putin, after Trump win, says a struggle for a new world order is underway
President Vladimir Putin condemned the United States on Thursday for seeking to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia in Ukraine and said a struggle was underway to shape a new world order as the Western-dominated post-Cold War era crumbled.
"We have come to a dangerous line," Putin told the Valdai discussion club in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, a day after learning that Donald Trump had won the U.S. presidential election.
"The calls of the West to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, a country with the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, demonstrates the exorbitant adventurism of Western politicians," said Putin.

China tariffs on the table, Trump's ex-Treasury chief says
US President-elect Donald Trump is likely to return to the issue of tariffs in negotiations with China, as well as consider tax cuts and new sanctions, his former Treasury Secretary said in an interview Thursday.
"I think that tariffs do need to be used to get counterparties back to the table, especially China, which is not living up to all of the agreements they made in the Phase One trade agreement," Steven Mnuchin told CNBC.
He was referring to a 2020 trade deal that followed a truce in a tariff war between Washington and Beijing.
The agreement saw China pledge to boost purchases of American products and services by at least $200 billion over 2020 and 2021. But the target was not met amid the pandemic.

Huthi leader says Trump will 'fail' to end Israeli-Palestinian conflict
The leader of Yemen's Huthi rebels criticised Donald Trump for supporting Israel on Thursday, saying the US president-elect would fail to end the Middle East conflict in his second term.
Abdul Malik al-Huthi, whose group is aligned with Iran, said that a series of normalisation deals between Arab countries and Israel brokered by Trump's administration during his first term did not help bring the conflict closer to an end.
"Trump failed in the project of... 'the deal of the century' despite all his arrogance, haughtiness, recklessness and tyranny, and he will fail this time as well," Huthi said in his weekly speech.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: The period of low volatility that the Indian rupee has enjoyed may not last now that Donald Trump is poised to become U.S. president once again, bankers and advisors cautioned, urging companies to manage their forex risks more prudently and proactively.
The rupee dropped to an all-time low of 84.3625 to the U.S. dollar on Thursday, adding to the previous day's losses when the election outcome prompted Asian currencies to plunge.
Investors are dumping Asian currencies, and the dollar is rallying against its major peers on bets that Trump's expected policies of lower corporate tax and deregulation would boost U.S. growth.
In addition, Asian currencies are having to contend with the possibility of Trump raising tariffs, especially on China.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Global energy outlook will shift once Trump returns to White house, says Report
2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Trump's win in the US presidential election may shift the global energy outlook in response to anticipated policies says a report by Angel One Wealth.
Donald Trump, known for his stance on domestic energy independence, has consistently advocated boosting oil and natural gas production in the U.S., a move likely to put downward pressure on global crude oil prices.
According to the report from Angel One Wealth, crude prices could soon see a correction, as Trump is expected to keep prices in check by ramping up domestic production. His emphasis on self-reliance in energy is expected to reduce the U.S. dependency on foreign oil sources, thereby impacting global supply and pricing dynamics.
The report said "Donald Trump is likely to keep the crude prices under tight control as a Trump has consistently advocated for increasing domestic energy production"
The report also highlighted that Trump's preference for a non-interventionist approach in foreign conflicts could stabilize oil prices by allowing conflicts to deescalate more quickly.
However, potential volatility could arise if Trump imposes new sanctions on Iran, a measure that could disrupt oil supplies from the region.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Trump's win beneficial for India's export trade, says Economist Suriya Narayanan
2024 US Election Results Live Updates: As Donald Trump is designated to be the President of the United States of America, Indian Economist Suriya Narayan on Thursday morning said that his win would be beneficial for India when it comes to export (trade). Trump's overtaking in the US elections provides India with a huge potential for export since the President-elect has claimed to charge 60 per cent duty on Chinese goods, he added.
"Today is a good day for India. Trump's election as the US President will have a multifaceted effect on the Indian economy, international economy, world trade and peace. This election we will have different aspects. Trump's overtaking (in elections) gives India a lot of potential for export because Trump has informed multiple times in his election speeches that more than 60 per cent duty will be charged on Chinese goods. This means that it is an opportunity for India to export goods, especially the export of Agro and other products related to pharma," Narayan said while speaking to ANI.
The Economist further said that India has an opportunity to export more goods to the US, including agro and pharmaceutical goods.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Trump's victory and why it's significant
Donald Trump¡¯s election victory was history-making in several respects, even as his defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris prevented other firsts. She would have been the nation¡¯s first Black and South Asian woman to be president. He's the oldest to be elected
At 78, Trump is the oldest person elected to the U.S. presidency. When sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025, he will be a few months older than Joe Biden was at his inauguration in 2020. Trump's running mate, 40-year-old JD Vance, will be the third-youngest vice president.
It's the second time someone has won two non-consecutive terms
Several U.S. presidents have served more than one term, and Trump joins the group. He was the 45th president and now will be the 47th. But only one other president did it the way Trump will ¡ª with a gap between terms. That was Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd president after the 1884 election, and as the 24th president after the campaign of 1892.
He's been convicted of felony crimes
Trump is in line to become the first U.S. president with a felony conviction. In May, New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.

Here's what all happened till now
The United States and the world faced a radically transformed political landscape Wednesday after Donald Trump won a crushing election victory, defeating Kamala Harris in an astonishing comeback to the White House.
Harris, who had described Trump as a threat to democracy, rang to congratulate him before she was due to deliver a concession speech at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT).
Trump, who never conceded defeat four years ago when his supporters ransacked the US Capitol, won wider margins than before despite a criminal conviction, two impeachments while in office and warnings from his former chief of staff that he is a "fascist."
But exit polls showed that voters' top concern remained the economy and inflation that spiked under outgoing President Joe Biden.
Both Wall Street and the dollar soared on Trump's victory and his clear mandate, with expectations that he will move aggressively to ramp up growth.
Trump, who at 78 will be the oldest man to take the presidential oath when inaugurated on January 20, vowed to fulfill his slogan to "make America great again" in a speech in Florida before supporters chanting "USA!"
"It's a political victory that our country has never seen before," Trump said.
Meanwhile, global leaders swiftly pledged to work with Trump, despite concerns in much of the world about his nationalist-minded "America First" approach.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: The Kremlin said Wednesday that it would judge Donald Trump, who has vowed to swiftly end the Ukraine conflict, on his "actions" in office, as many in the West fear his second term could spell disaster for Kyiv. Trump has repeatedly said he would end the conflict launched by the Kremlin in February 2022 "in 24 hours", without giving details on how. He has also lambasted the billions of dollars in US aid for Ukraine that are critical for its defence, and several times blamed Kyiv for the conflict. The Kremlin said it would wait to see what Trump would be like when he takes office in January, expressing some caution with relations between Moscow and Washington at an all-time low since the Cold War.

2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Trump expected to shift course on antitrust, stop Google breakup
2024 US Election Results Live Updates: Donald Trump will likely dial back some of the antitrust policies pursued under the administration of President Joe Biden, potentially including a bid to break up Alphabet's Google over its dominance in online search, experts said.
Trump is expected to continue cases against Big Tech, several of which began in his first term, but his recent skepticism about a potential Google breakup highlights the power he will hold over how those cases are run.
"If you do that, are you going to destroy the company? What you can do without breaking it up is make sure it's more fair," he said at an event in Chicago in October.
The U.S. Department of Justice is currently pursuing two antimonopoly cases against Google - one over search and another over advertising technology, as well as a case against Apple. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is suing Meta Platforms and Amazon.com.
