as america's 47th president. with this donald trump becomes only the second president in us history to serve two consecutive terms in office. the 78—year—old will also be the oldest person to assume the presidency when he is sworn into office injanuary. the president—elect, as he is now, late immigration and economy the top priorities for his campaign. as we have seen, there are issues that have resonated with the american people with this projected result that donald trump will be america's 47th president. it has been quite the campaign and quite the yearfor has been quite the campaign and quite the year for donald trump. he survived an assassination attempt earlier this year injuly when a gunman shot him in the ear at a rally in butler pennsylvania. that was days before he formally accepted his party's nomination. a few months later

the secret service foiled another alleged assassination plot at one of his golf courses in florida. but what we are talking about tonight, donald trump becoming america's 47th president, that prediction coming to us from our cbs news partners. as donald trump takes office again he continues to face dozens of criminal charges including four election interference. he has denied all those charges against him. with this projected win, as donald trump becomes the 47th president, his running mate, the senatorfrom ohio, jd the senator from ohio, jd vance, the senatorfrom ohio, jd vance, will become the youngest vice president in more than 70 years. jd vancejust vice president in more than 70 years. jd vance just turned 40 in august. he will be one of the youngest vice president this country has seen. that election prediction result coming to us. a race that has been so tight, all the polling had this neck and neck but the margin of error we have been

reporting on, between 2% and 4% at times. it has turned out it has been quite a victory for donald trump. very significant margins that he has managed in those swing states that he and kamala harris have been fighting for over all these months. the change at the top of the democratic ticket, she took over their 107 days ago. donald trump declared his candidacy and intention to seek another term of office in the white house two years ago. he has made it his business to get to the oval office, to get to sit behind that resolute desk once more. he will do that in january, the 20th of january, the inauguration will take place and donald trump will become america's 47th president. we have been watching the swing states all night. georgia and north carolina projected for him. pennsylvania rejected for him. he was awaiting just four votes

and the state that gave those electoral college votes to him that took him over the top, of wisconsin. we can go there now to our correspondent carl nasman in wisconsin for us. the early hours of wednesday morning here in the united states. tell us, what has happened in the last few minutes to get wisconsin to project this victory that has resulted in this production, donald trump, america's 47th president?— president? that's right, in the end it was _ president? that's right, in the end it was the _ president? that's right, in the end it was the exact _ president? that's right, in the end it was the exact same - president? that's right, in the i end it was the exact same state that gave — end it was the exact same state that gave him victory in 2016, now— that gave him victory in 2016, now pushing him over the edge in 2024 — now pushing him over the edge in 2024. those ten electoral college _ in 2024. those ten electoral college votes in wisconsin, plenty _ college votes in wisconsin, plenty enough to put donald trump — plenty enough to put donald trump now officially back into the white house for the second time _ the white house for the second time. interesting to see that it was— time. interesting to see that it was the vote counts in the city — it was the vote counts in the city of — it was the vote counts in the city of milwaukee that were able — city of milwaukee that were able to— city of milwaukee that were able to put him over the line, that's— able to put him over the line, that's where the republican national convention was held

swing states like michigan, nevada and arizona. we can tell you donald trump has taken four swing states. this karting where we were just reporting from. pennsylvania, north carolina and georgia, all of those have gone to his tally, building on the leaning republican states he had taken earlier in the night to take him over the magic 270 we have been talking about four hours, and on into the white house. it is remarkable, we were talking about what her close race this was up until today. we could see donald trump win every single swing state. christian fraser is at the wall and can tell us how we got here. there were three _ tell us how we got here. there were three scenarios - tell us how we got here. there were three scenarios tonight i were three scenarios tonight will were three scenarios tonight wiii stop— were three scenarios tonight will stop at the beginning of the night we thought it might be tight, our heads said it was tight— be tight, our heads said it was tight because the polling had it tight — tight because the polling had it tight in all the seven battleground states, within the margin — battleground states, within the margin of error. we also knew that _ margin of error. we also knew that if— margin of error. we also knew that if the _ margin of error. we also knew that if the polling was wrong three — that if the polling was wrong three points one way or the other— three points one way or the other it _ three points one way or the other it could be a blow out tonight— other it could be a blow out tonight like we saw in 2016 and

knew one state would take him over but remarkable that it is wisconsin because that's a state the democrats of the blue wall states felt the best about. . , wall states felt the best about. ., , , , about. indeed, and they spent so much time _ about. indeed, and they spent so much time there _ about. indeed, and they spent| so much time there particularly around universities, courting that young vote, trying to grow the base. so much energy expended by them. and so much energy expended by the trump campaign as well in wisconsin, in pennsylvania and in michigan for that matter with donald trump holding his final rally in michigan, in grand rapids on monday night, after midnight in the early hours of tuesday morning. keeping with tradition, that's where he ended his race in 2016 and in 2020. third time a charm, he ended his race there this time as well. quite a dramatic turn out but we have to say it is what the donald trump campaign had been predicting. his senior adviser was briefing reporters

on monday and said we will have a result on tuesday night, wednesday morning. that's how they saw it going and it has gone as per their plan. they had been — gone as per their plan. they had been confident - gone as per their plan. they had been confident in - gone as per their plan. they had been confident in the i gone as per their plan. they i had been confident in the last few weeks, they said they could win this easily. we saw the harris campaign grow some confidence in the last week, they felt she closed on a better message than donald trump, ending in a stronger way than trump, who had slip—ups with the madison square garden rally, the fact he strayed from the closing message which his speeches appeared rambling at times and went into darker territory, but it didn't matter. i keep thinking of the big poster in the west palm beach convention centre, becoming one of the favourite post as you have seen at rallies in recent weeks, trump will fix it. it's a catchall for everything, his photos and supporters so that. it appears that in some ways this was a voting populace also wanting to send a message to the incumbent, to the current

administration. it incumbent, to the current administration.— incumbent, to the current administration. it is very like what we saw _ administration. it is very like what we saw in _ administration. it is very like what we saw in 2016 - administration. it is very like what we saw in 2016 for - administration. it is very like what we saw in 2016 for stop travelling round the swing states as we have over the last few months, it was a sentiment i picked up on of people saying, ifeel left i picked up on of people saying, i feel left behind. that's exactly the same thing i heard voters tell me in 2016, i feel left behind, i don't feel listened to. i'm working really hard but struggling to buy groceries. i am struggling, if you are a younger person, pay your rent, buy a house, get on the property ladder. people seeing options not available to them in life. donald trump saw that in 2015 and 2016 and he has seen it again now. he leaned hard into that, telling people, i'm like you, i can help you, you were better off under me than you are now. come with me and i will make things better again. we with me and i will make things better again-— better again. we can't overstate _ better again. we can't overstate the - better again. we can't overstate the fact - better again. we can'tj overstate the fact that better again. we can't - overstate the fact that this has been such a remarkable comeback. we keep using those words but think of all we have seenin words but think of all we have

seen in donald trump's last four years. seen in donald trump's last fouryears. in seen in donald trump's last four years. in 2022, the mid—term elections where the trump picked candidates didn't perform very well. there were rumblings in washington and i remember being here at the time, there were rumblings in the republican party, is it time to move on from donald trump? then he announced he would run again. one of the candidates who bucked the trend in the mid—term elections was jd vance, winning his race to be senator in ohio, another reason donald trump likes to pick winners. hejoined him on the ticket. from there we went onwards as he started to build momentum to that first criminal indictment, and that started to turn the tide. even before the 2022 midterms, if we go back to when he was still in office in the last few weeks and when the certification of the ballots was due to happen, and january the 6th, we all remember that. big swathes of the republican party deserted him at that time. , , .,

time. many people coming out and making — time. many people coming out and making statements, - time. many people coming out and making statements, not i time. many people coming out. and making statements, not my president, i don't want anything to do with him. they launched impeachment proceedings and all of that has been almost forgotten by the republican party. they have been riding in behind him again. you mentioned the indictments, he is also a convicted felon at this point. charges he denies and is appealing, but now he is president that will be the end of those for at least the next four years will stop it is a remarkable comeback, we use that word but it is appropriate in this case. jd vance said in a speech in florida, one of the biggest political comebacks of all time, and it is not hyperbole, it is accurate in this moment. he lost in 2020 and has come back and here he is, stronger than ever. looks like he will win the popular vote, which he hasn't done in the past two times, in addition to winning, as we have seen, the majority of the electoral couege the majority of the electoral college votes. we should say that the number on the screen, 279, that will not be the end

talk about some of those | talk about some of those questions in foreign policy. first the war in ukraine, we are hearing from our correspondent in kyiv, what does it mean for us support to ukraine? i does it mean for us support to ukraine? ~ ., , does it mean for us support to ukraine? ,, ., , , ukraine? i think the answer is we don't know. _ ukraine? i think the answer is we don't know. i _ ukraine? i think the answer is we don't know. i am - ukraine? i think the answer is l we don't know. i am extremely worried about that particular issue because it is so vital to global security, vital to european security. i very much hope that trump will take a supportive attitude and not, as it were, pursue a deal with vladimir putin that would allow putin to claim victory in ukraine. my question in relation to that is, who will be in trump's national security team, who will be in the foreign policy team and what sort of influence can they bring to bear on him? i think the problems in the united states amongst republicans are well understood about not appeasing vladimir putin. you are familiar _ appeasing vladimir putin. you are familiar with _ appeasing vladimir putin. you are familiar with these individuals. is there someone you think might be his

secretary of state? i you think might be his secretary of state? i don't know who _ secretary of state? i don't know who is _ secretary of state? i don't know who is in _ secretary of state? i don't know who is in his - secretary of state? i don't know who is in his team. i | secretary of state? i don't - know who is in his team. i know some of the previous members of past teams but many of those broke with trump, which is rather worrying, john bolton, james mattis and people like that. mike pompeo might come back. he has a very clear view of these issues. we can wait and see. there are a number of issues. there is nato membership. i think the issue of terrorism, which is not much talked about, is of great concern globally in terms of how this will affect international trade. how this will affect internationaltrade. i how this will affect international trade. i think the uk potentially might be in a good position vis—a—vis terrorism because there is a better chance of a trade agreement with a trump administered asian and a democratic administration. we can bring in the director of

the us america programme at chatham house. great to have you. how do you see this victory for donald trump resetting the us relationship with europe in particular? it will be very difficult. we know european state leaders and experts have been thinking about this for years, certainly for months, talking about thinks like trump approving, anticipating what it might mean to have a democracy and leader from across the pond thatjust doesn't see eye to eye on a style of governance, and some of the key geopolitical priorities, on the basic question of alliances. and even if some of that is donald trump's style, his negotiating style and tough talk, the return to predictability, to a style of governance we haven't seenin style of governance we haven't seen in four years, we have

grown accustomed tojoe biden's way of operating, and this is just a very radical shift from that. we also know donald trump has very different priorities when it comes to ukraine. we do not understand why donald trump has the affection and affinity for the russian leader. that will be a very significant concern heading over europe for the next four years. but also the next four years. but also the broader question of what it says about american democracy. here it is important to highlight this is a resounding victory for donald trump. it is especially resounding in the light of the electoral college will stop we are looking at an america right now that test has just shy of 66 million voters who voted for a different candidate, and over 70 million who voted for the former president. it's a country that is not agreed or aligned internally. if you look at some of the polling... brute internally. if you look at some of the polling. . ._ internally. if you look at some of the polling... we do have to
