The Art of the Comeback:
Trump Wins By Matt Meduri An election of historic, unprecedented circumstances was endcapped with a result of equal proportions: Donald Trump (R-FL) has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris (D-CA) in the 2024 presidential election. Trump is now the second president since Grover Cleveland (D-NY), and the first Republican in history, to earn a second non-consecutive term. “President Joe Biden called President Donald J. Trump to congratulate him on his victory and extended an invitation to the White House to ensure a smooth transition between the current Administration and the incoming Administration.

LaLota, who won a three-way primary in 2022 and would go on to defeat then-Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming (D-Noyac) by about eleven points, appears to have at least met, or even slightly outperformed, his 2022 margin.
