Prime Minister Modi congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential elections. News agency ANI cited sources as saying that there was a telephone conversation between the two leaders. Trump said he considered India a true friend. He spoke of working with India for world peace.
In the results released Wednesday, Trump received 295 votes compared to the 270 electoral votes required for the office of president. Counting is still underway in Arizona and Nevada. There are a total of 17 electoral votes in the two states. Here too, Trump is in the lead. The Electoral College elects the President.
Trump’s Republican Party won 295 out of 538 seats in 50 states. Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris was only able to win 226 seats despite a tough fight. Kamala Harris said: “This was not planned”
The outcome of this election is not what I expected, nor what we fought for. We will never give up and will continue to fight. Don’t be discouraged. Now is not the time to give up, it is the time to stay strong. Unite for freedom and justice.
Historic victory for Trump, becomes president after 4 years apart
Trump first became president in 2016 and lost to Joe Biden in 2020. After the latest results, Trump is the first politician after World War II to become president again after a 4-year hiatus.
Trump is the first leader in American history to defeat a female presidential candidate twice. An interesting fact is that apart from 2016 and 2024, no woman has ever run for president. Trump won the election every time.
After the election results became clear, Trump came to address the people on Wednesday. Wife Melania expressed her joy by clapping.
Now understand the US election results in detail…
Trump’s party has a majority in the Senate, the powerful upper house of the United States. Along with the US presidency, elections were also held for both houses of Parliament, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is like the Rajya Sabha of India and the House of Representatives is like the Lok Sabha. The Senate is the upper house. Of its 100 seats, each state has 2 seats.
Elections for a third of the Senate seats take place every two years. This time, elections were held on 34 seats. With the latest results, the Republican Party obtained 54 seats, which is equivalent to a majority. Previously, it had 49 seats.
In the United States, the Senate is more powerful because it has the right to approve or disapprove important issues like impeachment and foreign agreements. Its members are called senators and are elected for 6 years, while members of the House of Representatives are only elected for two years.
Trump’s party is also moving closer to a majority in the Lower House. The Republican Party is also close to a majority in the House of Representatives. Elections take place every 2 years for its 435 seats. This is called the midterm elections. 218 seats are needed to obtain a majority in the House. The Republican Party won 204 seats and the Democratic Party 189 seats.
Although the upper house, i.e. the Senate, is powerful, both houses play an equal role in running the government. A bill can be passed by a majority in either house of Parliament. Having a majority in both chambers will give Trump a free hand to make policies and appoint important positions.
People do not vote directly for the president, voters are not directly elected in the US presidential election. Voters are elected in their place and run for office on behalf of the presidential candidate. The number of electors is fixed in each state. In every U.S. state, electoral votes are set based on population.
There are a total of 538 electoral votes in 50 states. Whoever obtains 270 votes is elected president. Electors vote for state electors. These voters belong to the Republican or Democratic party. Typically, in the state where the presidential candidate gets the most votes, they get all the seats.
Let’s understand this with an example. For example, Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes. If the Republican Party gets 9 votes and the Democratic Party gets 8 votes, then due to the greater number of votes, all 19 electoral votes will go to the Republican Party. This is the trend in 48 states in America.
However, the states of Nebraska and Maine have different systems. In these states, the party gets the same number of seats as it gets electoral votes. For example, in this election, Trump received 1 electoral vote and Kamala Harris received 1 electoral vote, making the state of Maine 1 seat to 1.
Trump will give Musk carte blanche in the American global market. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk openly supported Donald Trump in this election. Besides providing funding of over Rs 1,000 crore to Trump, he has appeared with Trump at rallies. The biggest discussion now is how Musk will benefit from Trump’s victory.
Musk’s company SpaceX can make the most of it. The number of contracts will increase. The legal hurdles facing Musk’s company will be reduced. Currently, there are 19 lawsuits pending against Musk’s companies. Musk’s autonomous driving vision and robot taxi plan will get the green signal. Musk is also likely to play a role in the Trump administration.
Of Indian origin, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kash Patel and Bobby Jindal could obtain important positions in the Trump administration. A possible place for Ramaswami in the cabinet is possible. Trump himself congratulated him. Patel, who has experience in defense and intelligence, will likely be given responsibilities related to national security.
Besides Kamala, 9 Indians also contested the US elections, 6 won.
Russia said – No intention to congratulate Trump, Zelensky said – Trump’s return is wonderful
