The United States (US) presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Former President Donald Trump and US Vice President Kamala Harris competed to occupy the White House for the next four-year term.

Millions of US citizens have cast their votes to elect the new US President and Vice President.

Meanwhile, based on monitoring of fast count data from Fox News as of November 6 afternoon Jakarta time, Trump has so far won 276 electoral votes, while his rival Kamala has won 223 electoral votes. The magic number to win the presidency is at least 270 electoral votes.

It is certain from the numbers that have been achieved that Donald Trump won the race for the White House seat against Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election.

After a controversial campaign that is said to have deepened polarization in the United States, Donald Trump finally returned to the White House. Just four years after being ousted from the presidency, Trump achieved a surprise victory.

Congratulations from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

Kamala Harris, US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate, called Donald Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election.

As CNBC reported, Harris discussed with Trump the importance of peaceful power transfer and being President for all Americans.

Meanwhile, in a speech Wednesday night, Harris acknowledged her defeat to Trump in the US presidential election after a fierce, turbulent and divisive campaign.

Even though she has conceded defeat in the presidential election, she called on her supporters to keep fighting.

On the other hand, Democratic politician and President of the United States (US) Joe Biden also called Donald Trump via telephone. Biden congratulated Trump on winning the 2024 US presidential election and invited them to meet soon.

“President Biden expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasized the importance of efforts to unite the country,” the White House statement said.
