Donald Trump has made a remarkable comeback, winning the U.S. presidency and preparing to return to the White House as the nation’s 47th president. At 78, Trump becomes the oldest individual to assume the presidency, surpassing the record previously held by President Joe Biden. Trump, who will now serve a second, non-consecutive term, is the first politician since Grover Cleveland to reclaim the presidency after an electoral defeat.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has defeated his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, securing his return to the White House for another four-year term. Trump now becomes only the second president in U.S. history to win two nonconsecutive terms. His running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, will serve as vice president. Trump’s victory prevents Harris, the current vice president, from making history as the first woman to hold the U.S. presidency.
Following the announcement of Trump’s victory, markets responded with a surge in the dollar index, which crossed 105, causing gold and silver prices to plummet. On the Comex, gold dropped near $2,715 per ounce, while silver slipped below $32. India’s MCX mirrored this trend, with gold falling over ₹800 and silver over ₹2,500. Analysts anticipate further declines in precious metals prices due to the strong dollar, with attention now shifting to the Federal Reserve’s upcoming statement on November 7.
In his victory speech in Florida, Trump told supporters, “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.” His win came with crucial victories in North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, securing his path back to the Oval Office. The Republican Party also gained control of the Senate, flipping several key seats.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended congratulations to Trump, tweeting, “Heartiest congratulations, my friend, on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.”
With the Republican Party now fully aligned with Trump, he returns to Washington with both his previous experience and a sense of vindication. He is poised to enact ambitious policies, including sweeping tariffs on imports, with proposed rates as high as 60% on goods from China and up to 200% on cars manufactured in Mexico or by companies moving production there. Trump claims these tariffs will bolster American manufacturing and generate revenue for other policy initiatives, such as substantial tax cuts.
Trump has also promised to lower energy costs by boosting domestic oil and gas production, including lifting restrictions on drilling in regions like the Arctic. He’s proposed large tax cuts and pledged to cover these costs with anticipated economic growth and tariff revenues. In addition, he aims to revive his immigration agenda by completing the U.S.-Mexico border wall and launching one of the largest deportation efforts in U.S. history.
On climate policy, Trump plans to reverse many of the Biden administration’s regulations, including carbon emissions restrictions and protections for federal waterways. He has criticized electric vehicle incentives and promised to support fossil fuel industries, pledging to roll back environmental protections.
