Remind me – when does Trump become president?published at 08:26
While this update from Arizona confirms to us the final results from the election’s battleground states, we already knew Donald Trump would be back in the White House.
His victory in the presidential race was projected on 6 November, when he reached the 270 electoral college vote threshold.
The results from some states have taken longer than others to be confirmed and Arizona’s has taken days to come in.
But Trump isn’t president yet. For now he’s still the president-elect and his running mate JD Vance is the vice-president elect.
Trump will be sworn in at the presidential inauguration on20 January 2025, at which point he legally assumes the power and responsibilities of the presidency, for the second time.
