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.

On Part One 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 shares his sights.
