Bigger Picture: OCBC makes $1.4b bid to take Great Eastern private

Donald Trump is set to be America’s 47th president, after mounting the most momentous comeback in political history that will hand him massive power at home and around the world.

Trump will be returning to the White House after a polarising and dizzying campaign marked by two attempts on his life and a late decision by Democrats to put forth Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race.

He will only be taking office on 20th January 2025, and there will be a transition between the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden and the incoming Trump administration.

On Part Two of this two-part special edition of Morning Shot, focusing on the US Presidential Election, Bryan DeAngelis, Partner & Head of Washington Office at Penta Group and Bhagyashree Garekar, US Bureau Chief at The Straits Times share their insights.

Morning Shot [US Election Special Part 2]:  Donald Trump Returns To Power. Harris Says She Concedes Election,  But Not Her Fight.

Four years after leaving the White House, Donald Trump pulled off a dramatic comeback in US political history. He is set to move back in, after millions of Americans voted to give him a second chance.

“America first” was one of Trump’s slogans that really seemed to strike a chord with voters. In his victory speech, Trump pledged to fight for Americans and “with every breath” in his body, as he called this the “golden age of America”.

The republican candidate recaptured the White House with a sweeping victory, with 291 electoral votes, while Democratic Kamala Harris received 223.

Harris has conceded this election and in her speech, she says she “does not concede the fight that fueled this campaign" and that she will remain steadfast in her commitment to fight “for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people” in the United States.
