it will probably be some time later— it will probably be some time later today or even tomorrow. i think_ later today or even tomorrow. i think the — later today or even tomorrow. i think the numbers are strong enough — think the numbers are strong enough that it's been conceded that michigan has gone with donald _ that michigan has gone with donald trump for the second time — donald trump for the second time it— donald trump for the second time. it was an interesting day because — time. it was an interesting day because we changed the laws here — because we changed the laws here in— because we changed the laws here in michigan to allow pennie _ here in michigan to allow people to vote for nine consecutive days so the polls were — consecutive days so the polls were open which made it so much easier_ were open which made it so much easier for— were open which made it so much easier for people to show up and — easier for people to show up and vote _ easier for people to show up and vote. there was some concern _ and vote. there was some concern about the potential fraud — concern about the potential fraud and those kinds of things but the — fraud and those kinds of things but the turnout yesterday, it was — but the turnout yesterday, it was a — but the turnout yesterday, it was a beautiful day in november, a lot of people showed _ november, a lot of people showed up and some people didn't— showed up and some people didn't even make up their mind untit— didn't even make up their mind until yesterday. the unpredictability of donald trump's sweeping these swing states— trump's sweeping these swing states is— trump's sweeping these swing states is surprising to say the least — states is surprising to say the least the _ states is surprising to say the least. the fact he went out and one the — least. the fact he went out and one the national popular vote i

think— one the national popular vote i think was— one the national popular vote i think was surprising to a lot of people as well. he really has his— of people as well. he really has his work cut out because when — has his work cut out because when you _ has his work cut out because when you look at the base voters _ when you look at the base voters on the republican party, about _ voters on the republican party, about 30% of the country is strong _ about 30% of the country is strong republican and about 30% a strong — strong republican and about 30% a strong democrat and then you have _ a strong democrat and then you have that — a strong democrat and then you have that 40% in the middle. we are such — have that 40% in the middle. we are such a — have that 40% in the middle. we are such a polarised nation at this— are such a polarised nation at this point— are such a polarised nation at this point in the real question donald — this point in the real question donald trump's leadership isn't so much — donald trump's leadership isn't so much whether he can lead or run the — so much whether he can lead or run the country from the white house, — run the country from the white house, is — run the country from the white house, is whether he can unite this country and create a presence in the world with the rest _ presence in the world with the rest of— presence in the world with the rest of the world looks and says. — rest of the world looks and says. we _ rest of the world looks and says, we trust the united states— says, we trust the united states and we trust donald trump _ states and we trust donald trump and we think he provides strength— trump and we think he provides strength for his allies. we have — strength for his allies. we have trade deficits and other kinds — have trade deficits and other kinds of— have trade deficits and other kinds of issues which are mostiy— kinds of issues which are mostly economic in nature but i think— mostly economic in nature but i think the — mostly economic in nature but i think the world is taking a look— think the world is taking a look and _ think the world is taking a look and saying is this the same _ look and saying is this the same donald trump that was elected — same donald trump that was elected eight years ago or is this a — elected eight years ago or is this a new person? i think a lot of— this a new person? i think a lot of people decided, after the assassination attempt on the assassination attempt on the fact— the assassination attempt on the fact he got up and said

let's— the fact he got up and said let's keep going, he rallied the troops and created a foundation and strengthened his base _ eight years after his stunning upset of hillary clinton and four years afterjoe biden evicted him from the white house, the former president is about to return to power. on the back of a victory that swept across the key early voting battleground states and improved on his electoral margins in much of america, he claimed an "unprecedented and powerful mandate" to govern. gary o'donoghue looks at how this extraordinary political comeback has come about. four years ago, donald trump left the white house without even attending joe biden's inauguration, his attempt to overturn the election having failed. but now he's back making history as only the second president to win two non—consecutive terms in office. it was more than nine years ago when donald trump entered the political fray, upending the republican party and winning its nomination for the 2016 presidential election with, to many, shocking rhetoric that

would become his trademark. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. but to the surprise of many, perhaps even the candidate himself, donald trump beat hillary clinton — and at his inauguration continued with the same dark tone. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. at home and abroad his presidency was a controversial one. he battled with the courts over a muslim travel ban over separating migrants from their children at the border, and was investigated by a special council over russian influence, something he called a witch hunt and a hoax. he also became only the third president in history to be impeached over accusations of holding up military aid to ukraine for his own political ends, though the senate did not convict him.

a booming economy was brought to a sudden standstill when the coronavirus pandemic hit in his final year in office. vaccines were produced in record time, but still more thani million americans died of covid—i9. donald trump himself was struck down by the virus but recovered, returning to the white house and to fight for his re—election. but he refused to accept defeat, erroneously claiming that the election had been stolen. and if you don't fight, like hell, you're not going to have a country any more. his supporters stormed the capitol. the violence shocked america and the world. after the january 6th riots, he became the only us president to have been impeached twice out of office. he survived scandals that would have ended most political careers. he faced multiple court cases, both criminal and civil, and was convicted of covering

up hush money payments to a porn star. running again, he steam—rolled his republican opponents. the total initiative and mocked. joe biden during their debate over the president's performance. president trump. i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. i don't think he knows what he said, either. injuly, donald trump came within inches of losing his life. a would be assassin's bullet just grazed his ear, leading to a triumphant moment for the 45th president. three days later, he formally accepted the republican nomination to take onjoe biden, though before the week was out, president biden had stood aside in favour of his vice president. immediately, the personal attacks began, directed at her intelligence and her race. i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.

kamala harris and president donald trump are just moments. a debate did little to shift the momentum either way, and the two remained neck and neck in the polls right up to election day. we will achieve. donald trump has vowed to begin the biggest ever deportation of migrants in history. he's also promised to end the wars in ukraine and the middle east. he hasn't said how he will do either of these things. he's also said he'll take revenge on his political opponents. america and the world is in for some uncertain times. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, washington. we can now go live to washington and join my colleague anna foster. ijust wonder as people are digesting this news whether there is a sense of surprise at the timing of all of this and how quick it's been and how definitive it's been and how definitive it's been? i it's been and how definitive it's been?— it's been? i think you are absolutely _ it's been? i think you are absolutely right. - it's been? i think you are absolutely right. even i it's been? i think you are

absolutely right. even as| absolutely right. even as recently as yesterday, election officials were talking about how this was going to take time. they were saying, even the state of pennsylvania when i was yesterday, they were making the point they were going to do this properly and if that was the case you could expected to take a few days particularly if it was a tight race. the tight race that all of those polls were predicting. but you look at the way things are now and it'sjust but you look at the way things are now and it's just after 9am in washington and the sun is beating down already and they are expecting record hot temperatures today and are far hotter day than anybody had expected politically. the expected politically. the expected today to be about getting some of those results through, to be about rolling the pitch for the result that might come tomorrow. i think they were expecting it sooner than 2020 but the speed and the emphatic nature of donald trump's when has made waves across the us and donald trump secured that historic victory after winning several of those crucial swing states, north carolina was the first of those battleground states to be

called and of course donald trump went on to win georgia and pennsylvania was i think the decisive moment when he came out and started to claim victory. let's get reaction to one of the results from those swing states and speak to shiv duffy. i swing states and speak to shiv du . ~' ., swing states and speak to shiv du . ,, duffy. i think of process went really well — duffy. i think of process went really well but _ duffy. i think of process went really well but our _ duffy. i think of process went really well but our result - duffy. i think of process wenti really well but our result may not have _ really well but our result may not have been what everybody wanted — not have been what everybody wanted. we not have been what everybody wanted. ~ ., ~ not have been what everybody wanted. ~ . ~ ., ., wanted. we will talk about how ou feel wanted. we will talk about how you feel about _ wanted. we will talk about how you feel about that _ wanted. we will talk about how you feel about that result - wanted. we will talk about how you feel about that result in - you feel about that result in the second but as you said, the first thing you said was about the process because things are different here now. they would have been a time when the process would not have been remarked upon, it would have been assumed that the process has gone well but how did that level of scrutiny and questioning of the electoral process feel to you? i questioning of the electoral process feel to you?- process feel to you? i am really proud _ process feel to you? i am really proud of _ process feel to you? i am really proud of our - process feel to you? i am really proud of our team | process feel to you? i am | really proud of our team at process feel to you? i am - really proud of our team at the
