Summary

The results are in. Donald Trump will be 47th president of the United States come January.

He'll return to the White House as the first president who's been re-elected after being impeached during his first term. He's also been convicted of a felony since his win in 2016.

Trump won several key swing states this election, outperforming how the pollsters and pundits projected he'd do in America's electoral battlegrounds.

We discuss what the U.S. looks like now that the election is over, and what the results tell us about who we are.
