Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to call Trump to acknowledge victory
As reported by a White House official, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden plan to contact Donald Trump as early as Wednesday to acknowledge his victory.
Both Harris and Biden are also expected to address the nation later today to discuss the election results. The vice president is currently working on her speech. The time of the speech has yet to be confirmed.
In the United States, the president is not directly elected by the overall number of votes across the country; known as the ‘popular vote’. After Americans cast their ballots, it is the Electoral College that decides who takes office, and this does not necessarily reflect the popular vote in US presidential elections.
However, getting the majority of the popular vote to get elected can really push the mandate claim.
Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election has significant implications for the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel’s military operations there.

During his last stint as president, Trump backed Israel in the face of international community laws and trends.
But what will a Trump 2.0 administration meanfor the ongoing conflict in the region?

Donald Trump’s criminal conviction and possible incarceration has led to questions about his presidential candidacy.
As it turns out, being arrested for or even convicted of a crime does not disqualify a person from running for the highest office in the United States. There is no particular law or constitutional provision that prohibits a convicted or arrested person from being a presidential candidate.
In fact, if he ends up conducting his campaign from within prison walls, he wouldn’t be the first contender to do so.
Four years after departing from the South Lawn aboard the Marine One helicopter, Donald Trump is set to move back into the White House - the iconic residence and workplace of the United States president.
“Hopefully it’s not a long-term goodbye - we will see each other again,” Trump said as he left the White House in January 2021, in the wake of his 2020 election defeat to current president Joe Biden. His prediction has been borne out.
