Donald Trump also won the presidential election in Arizona, Edison Research projects, completing the victory in all seven states that were decisive in this election, solidifying his victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Republican Party candidate Trump, who by Wednesday morning secured 270 votes at the Electoral College, the so-called The Electoral College needed to win the White House is now expected to have a final 312 votes to Harris' 226.

Apart from Arizona, Trump also won six other key states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada.

Biden won six of seven in 2020.

In 2020, Joe Biden defeated Trump winning six of seven, only narrowly losing North Carolina and finishing with 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232.

Trump also won 306 votes in that assembly in his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.

Trump had almost 4 million more votes

The Associated Press reported that Trump won the popular vote with 74,6 million voters nationwide, or 50,5 percent, while Harris won 70,9 million votes, or 48 percent.

After Congress confirms the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, Trump and his incoming running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, are scheduled to take office on Jan. 20.

Republicans close to a majority in the House of Representatives

Republicans are close to taking control of the House of Representatives, which is crucial to the smooth implementation of President-elect Trump's policies.

Although votes are still being counted from the Nov. 5 election, Republicans have secured 213 seats in the 435-member House of Representatives, according to Edison Research.

Republicans need to pick up five more seats to retain control of the House of Representatives, having already secured enough seats to wrest control of the US Senate from Democrats.

According to Edison Research, Democrats have so far won 205 seats in the House of Representatives. Democrats would need to win 13 of the remaining 17 seats to take control of that institution.

Republican control of the Senate

With Trump winning the presidential election and Republican control of the Senate, retaining the House of Representatives will give Republicans ample opportunities to push through a sweeping agenda of tax and spending cuts, energy deregulation and border security controls.

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden will receive his greatest political enemy in the Oval Office, who is beginning to work on the composition of the next government, to prepare for a historic return to power.

Biden has vowed to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, hoping to "reduce tensions" in the country. The situation is very different from that of 2020, when Donald Trump refused to admit defeat and boycotted Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony.

Four years later, the real estate mogul, who was the target of two assassination attempts during the campaign and was charged and convicted in criminal and civil cases, will make a stunning return to the White House.

Donald Trump promised Americans that he would improve their standard of living by cutting taxes. The Republican also said he would carry out a "massive" deportation of migrants who are in the country illegally.
