Meanwhile, Donald Trump officially secured his victory in the presidential election by winning a majority of the electoral votes. On the 18th (local time), major foreign media outlets such as The Washington Post and The Hill reported that Trump secured 312 votes in the Electoral College vote held across all 50 states the previous day, surpassing Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, who received 226 votes, and was elected as the 47th President of the United States.

The U.S. presidential election is conducted by the general public electing electors in each state on election day, and the 538 electors then vote to officially confirm the president-elect. To officially confirm victory, a majority of 270 electoral votes is required. After the Electoral College vote, each state sends the results to the federal Congress by the 25th, and Congress certifies the results in a joint session of the House and Senate on January 6, 2025, officially announcing Trump’s election. After congressional approval, Trump will begin his term as the 47th President of the United States with the official inauguration ceremony on January 20.
