“Donald Trump re-elected President of the United States : and now ? What he's going to do, what awaits us”
Donald Trump will take over the world's leading power on January 20, 2025. He intends to regain control of major issues that also affect the lives of Europeans.
Donald Trump won the American election on November 5, 2024, he will be inaugurated 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. The United States has entered a transition period that will last a little over two months, the time for members of Donald Trump's team to regain familiarity with the files on national policy. For several weeks, Joe Biden's collaborators will have to transmit the most important files and confidential information to their successors.
President Biden is also scheduled to meet with Donald Trump in the coming days. In 2016, Barack Obama met with Donald Trump on November 10. It should be noted that in 2020, Donald Trump, who did not acknowledge his defeat, did not want to meet with Joe Biden.
The election of Donald Trump is a small earthquake for the United States, which has therefore chosen a resolutely isolationist policy, fiercely determined to strictly control immigration and to ensure a constant harsh balance of power with its trading partners. The country will also be led by a misogynistic, outrageous man, accommodating to the truth, and moreover criminally convicted of a crime. What does Donald Trump have in store for us ?

The former president (2016-2020) delivered a masterful political victory, winning the popular vote hands down. A snub from fate, as he had been criticized in 2016 for winning with fewer votes than his rival Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump collected 5 million more votes than his Democratic opponent this time. Far from the “closest election in history” as many observers predicted. For the new 78-year-old president, victory seems total since the American Senate has also swung to the Republican camp. As for the House of Representatives, the counting is still in progress and the outcome looks uncertain.
To once again climb into the Oval Office in Washington, Donald Trump notably won the American election in the key states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Georgia. He also came out on top in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, West Virginia, the two Dakotas, Wyoming, Ohio, Utah, Montana and Idaho. In total, Trump had 277 electors on Wednesday thanks to these victories, out of the 270 needed to reach the White House. He still had to win several swing states (if not all) as well as votes in traditionally Republican states.
