Donald Trump American presidential election candidate

Donald Trump, a prominent figure in modern American history, has re-entered the political arena as a candidate for the 2024 US presidential election. He is running against Vice President Kamala Harris, with the aim of regaining the White House and positioning itself as a defender of conservative values ​​and economic nationalism.
Trump was born in Queens, New York, in 1946 to a wealthy family. His father, Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer, had a major influence on his son’s career path. After attending the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump joined his father’s company and expanded it into Manhattan with a focus on high-profile, luxury projects. Through aggressive marketing and a keen eye for opulent design, Trump established his brand on iconic buildings such as New York City’s Trump Tower, hotels, casinos and golf courses. This expansion not only increased his wealth, but also strengthened Trump’s status as a famous businessman.

Donald Trump’s transition from business to politics came as a surprise to many

Although he had previously expressed interest in running for office, it was not until 2015 that he formally announced his candidacy for president as a Republican. His campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” emphasized restoring American jobs, renegotiating trade deals, tightening immigration policies and prioritizing national sovereignty. Despite initial skepticism about his candidacy, Trump’s straightforward approach and populist message resonated with many Americans who felt disconnected from the political establishment.
After defeating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, Trump’s presidency was marked by major policy initiatives, controversies, and an unorthodox approach to governance. However, his tenure was also marked by controversies, including two impeachments and a polarized response to the COVID-19 pandemic. His administration was criticized for its handling of the virus and racial justice protests in 2020, as well as for its role in the events of January 6, 2021. Trump was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
As the 2024 elections approach, Trump has returned to the political forefront and is now running against Kamala Harris, the current vice president. Harris, a representative of the Democratic Party, advocates for progressive policies such as climate action, healthcare reform and social justice. Now that Biden has chosen not to seek re-election, Harris has taken the lead among Democrats, offering a clear alternative to Trump’s policies.
Trump’s 2024 campaign will echo the themes of his first campaign, focusing on economic recovery, strong borders and a return to conservative governance.
