Just 40 years old, Vance, a former Trump critic turned loyalist and top advocate for the president-elect’s right-wing populist movement, is now first in the presidential line of succession.
In a curious turn of events, Donald Trump defeated his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, to return to the White House for another four years, after a lapse of four years. He will now become the 47th President of the US.
At 78, he is the oldest person ever to win a U.S. presidential election. He will be the first president in 132 years — since Grover Cleveland — to serve two non-consecutive terms in office.
Trump’s win denies Harris, the vice president, what would have been her historic milestone: becoming the first woman president of the United States. It also represents a staggering political achievement for Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, who won his first election just two years earlier.

If Trump pursues his campaign promises, his second administration will soon set out to enact an ambitious, controversial agenda centered on deep tax cuts, mass deportations, and reshaped relationships with foreign leaders. Trump has also vowed to impose heavy tariffs, claiming that they will simultaneously boost U.S. revenues, strengthen domestic industries, and deter unwanted foreign competition. He has assured that he will quickly broker an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a vague stance that threatens to undo the Biden administration’s policy of strong support for Kyiv.
