Donald Trump has become the first convicted felon to be elected U.S. president, according to CNN which called the 2024 presidential election early Wednesday morning.
Trump, the Republican nominee who faced four historic criminal indictments in the fallout from his first administration, defeated former prosecutor Vice President Kamala Harris, according to predictions from Decision Desk HQ and CNN.
Trump proved able to claim battleground states such as Georgia and North Carolina as Harris' blue wall collapsed.
