Latest US elections: Trump declares victory; world leaders congratulate him; Harris hasn’t spoken yet | US News

They call it “Agenda 47,” the eyebrow-raising plan for the 47th presidency.

It could be called “Back to the Future”.

Donald Trump’s base supporters yearn for a “golden era,” an America they believe is lost.

His mission is to find it for them.

A New York tycoon stands on the brink of power beyond his wildest dreams.

Young people, black men, Latinos believed Trump 2.0.

Sociologists predicted a tight race. In the end, he likely won in a landslide—the Republicans flipped the Senate.

If they keep the House of Representatives, it will be unchecked power – Trump holds the keys to the White House and Congress.

Thousands of words could be written about Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s radical reform plan for the federal government.

But the promise of “Make America Great Again” once again has deeper roots, and the campaign has attracted some unlikely poster boys.

Elon Musk, the billionaire tech magnate and the world’s richest man, has joined the project and could soon lead the Department of Government Effectiveness.

Robert Kennedy Jr., who had become estranged from the rest of his political dynasty, suspended his bid for the White House to support Trump.

RFK is known for questioning the safety of drinking water and vaccines.

The likely president-elect did not rule out that he would be given responsibility for health.

In campaign speeches, Trump outlined his plans to invest in flying cars and build “freedom cities” free from government regulation.

Donald Trump has promised to move rough sleepers out of city centers and into tent camps until their “problems are identified.”

But the biggest concern will be the culture war—the lack of a constitutional right to abortion; teachers are required to “embrace patriotic values.”

Trump pursues an isolationist policy and seeks to extricate America from global conflicts, not least in Ukraine and the Middle East.

He promised to cut international aid by “hundreds of billions” of dollars, end the war in Ukraine and possibly pull America out of NATO.

He has already made history – he became the first president to be convicted of criminal charges. Only one other has won two terms in a row.

The unconventional, unfiltered 45th President of the United States will become the 47th President and the rest of the world will hold its breath.
