00:00Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States. He is the
00:05first person convicted of a felony to win the White House and the first former
00:09president to regain power in 132 years. The results cap a bitter, contentious
00:15campaign that included two assassination attempts targeting Trump. He will be
00:19joined in the new administration by Vice President-elect Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
00:24At 40, Vance will become the highest-ranking member of the millennial
00:28generation in government. Trump's win amounts to a rebuke of elites and
00:33experts who he demonized as members of a deep state working to undermine their
00:37country. It's a stunning comeback for someone who has repeatedly pushed
00:41through obstacles that would sideline any other political figure, and it
00:46virtually guarantees that Trump will be shielded from punishment in a variety of
00:50criminal cases.
