Trump, 78, recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, Edison Research projected. His election is expected to usher in a new American leadership likely to test democratic institutions at home and relations abroad.
Trump’s victory was confirmed just after 5:30am Eastern time when he captured the battleground state of Wisconsin, putting him above the threshold of 270 electoral votes. Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat marks the second time in eight years that a woman became the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee only to fall short of a barrier-breaking victory.
“Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his historic victory for a second term,” Sharif said on X. “I look forward to working closely with the incoming Administration to further strengthen and broaden the Pakistan-US partnership.”
