WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump scored a decisive victory in a deeply divided nation. And in so doing, the Republican president-elect exposed a fundamental weakness within the Democratic base and beat back concerns about his moral failings, becoming the first U.S. president with a felony conviction.

He played on fears of immigrants and economic worries to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris. His victory signaled the advent of isolationism, sweeping tariffs and score settling.

Trump's win could mark the second time since the turn of the century that the Republican ticket won the popular vote.

Trump was elected the 47th president on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago.

The president-elect’s 114.75 million shares are worth about $5.3 billion based on premarket trading, up from $3.9 billion when trading ended on Election Day. Of course, those are only paper gains and in practice it would be difficult for Trump to sell much of those shares without tanking the price.

World leaders congratulated Republican Donald Trump on Wednesday after he won the U.S. presidential election, capping a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House.

Markets were set to rise sharply Wednesday morning following a shift toward Republicans, including a decisive and significant reelection of former President Donald Trump in Tuesday’s US presidential election.

Looking at the voting results, a straightforward picture emerges: Trump successfully turned out his voters, while Harris did not.
