Former President Donald Trump has clinched victory against Kamala Harris in the race for the presidency. The Associated Press called the race for Trump Wednesday morning, making him the 47th president of the United States.

Trump will become the second president to lose a reelection campaign but return to the White House four years later. The only other president to win a nonconsecutive term was Grover Cleveland in 1892.

The race between Trump and Harris was neck and neck since the vice president became the official Democratic nominee in July. The candidates’ closing messages were starkly different: Harris pledged to “always put country above party and above self,” while Trump said Democrats were “the enemy from within.”
