Former President Donald Trump will return to the White House in January after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 US election with 291 electoral votes. As vote counting continues in several key states, business leaders are taking to social media and sharing their thoughts on the close of a highly contentious election cycle.
Huge congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President for a remarkable political comeback and a decisive victory. No nation has greater opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump good luck in leading and uniting the America we all love.

I voted for him. I think he's a bad guy.
But if you lose the senate, the house, the electoral college AND the popular vote and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same is likely to happen in 2028.

Defending democracy means accepting the results of elections that do not go as desired. Congratulations Donald Trump – I hope he brings the people and the country together. ???

If you're on Twitter right now, you're not the kind of person who's going to miss big-picture analysis for a long time.
I think the thing to do today is to focus on things that are near, things that you believe in, things that you need to do, and things that bring you joy.
