Donald Trump has completed a stunning political comeback, winning the presidential election and becoming the first Republican to win the national popular vote in 20 years. The result reflects a shift to the political right in the United States, with voters unhappy about President Biden's performance. Republicans also regained control of the Senate, expanding their electorate in meaningful ways, especially among Latino voters. It remains unclear how far Trump will go in implementing his ambitious agenda, but he is in a stronger position now than he was eight years ago. Democrats and Trump's critics are left in a weaker position, with Democrats potentially controlling no branch of the federal government starting on Jan. 20.
