Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to concede the election today at 4 p.m., following an official announcement from her team.
The decision marks the conclusion of a highly contested election season, with both parties vying to secure key voter demographics in crucial swing states.
Harris’s concession is anticipated to formally confirm former President Donald Trump’s return to office.
A senior adviser to President-elect Trump has shared details of his immediate plans upon returning to the White House.
According to the adviser, Trump’s day-one agenda includes a series of executive orders to undo significant Biden administration policies. Among these, Trump is expected to prioritise revoking several environmental regulations and reinstating initiatives tied to energy independence, which he sees as crucial to bolstering the economy.
Another central focus of Trump’s agenda is a comprehensive overhaul of the current immigration policies.
The adviser noted that Trump’s team has already begun strategizing to reinstate stricter border control measures. These changes would address the increase in migration and strengthen border security—issues Trump has frequently cited as critical to national security and economic stability.
Additionally, Trump plans to pursue economic revitalisation, focusing on job creation and healthcare reform.
His team is reportedly working on measures to attract investment and boost domestic industries, which they believe will support job growth and stabilise the economy.
The incoming administration’s vision for healthcare reform includes adjustments to current systems to reduce costs and expand accessibility, although specific details have yet to be disclosed.
