(Reuters)  Donald Trump was elected president, capping a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House and ushering in a new American leadership likely to test democratic institutions at home and relations abroad.

Trump, 78, recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, Edison Research projected, following a campaign of dark rhetoric that deepened the polarization in the country.

The former president’s victory in the swing state of Wisconsin pushed him over the threshold. As of 5:45 a.m. ET (1045 GMT) Trump had won 279 electoral votes to Harris’ 223 with several states yet to be counted.

He also led Harris by about 5 million votes in the popular count.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” Trump said early on Wednesday to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in Florida.

Trump’s political career had appeared to be over after his false claims of election fraud led a mob of supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn his 2020 defeat.

But he swept away challengers inside his Republican Party and then beat Democratic candidate Kamala Harris by capitalizing on voter concerns about high prices and what Trump claimed, without evidence, was a rise in crime due to illegal immigration.

Harris did not speak to supporters who had gathered at her alma mater Howard University. Her campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, briefly addressed the crowd after midnight, saying Harris would speak publicly later on Wednesday.

“We still have votes to count,” he said.

Republicans won a U.S. Senate majority, but neither party appeared to have an edge in the fight for control of the House of Representatives where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority.

JOBS AND ECONOMY

Voters identified jobs and the economy as the country’s most pressing problem, according to Reuters/Ipsos opinion polls. Many Americans remained frustrated by higher prices even amid record-high stock markets, fast-growing wages and low unemployment. With the administration of President Joe Biden taking much of the blame, a majority of voters said they trusted Trump more than Harris to address the issue.

Hispanics, traditionally Democratic voters, and lower-income households hit hardest by inflation helped fuel Trump’s election victory. His loyal base of rural, white and non-college educated voters again showed up in force.

Trump prevailed despite persistently low approval ratings. Impeached twice, he has been criminally indicted four times and found civilly liable for sexual abuse and defamation. In May, Trump was convicted by a New York jury of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star.

His victory will have major implications for U.S. trade and climate change policies, the war in Ukraine, Americans’ taxes and immigration.

His tariff proposals could spark a fiercer trade war with China and U.S. allies, while his pledges to reduce corporate taxes and implement a spate of new cuts could balloon U.S. debt, economists say.

Trump has promised to launch a mass deportation campaign targeting immigrants in the country illegally.

He has said he wants the authority to fire civil servants he views as disloyal. His opponents fear he will turn the Justice Department and other federal law enforcement agencies into political weapons to investigate perceived enemies.

A second Trump presidency could drive a bigger wedge between Democrats and Republicans on issues such as race, gender, what and how children are taught, and reproductive rights.

HARRIS FALLS SHORT

Vice President Harris fell short in her 15-week sprint as a candidate, failing to galvanize enough support to defeat Trump, who occupied the White House from 2017-2021, or to allay voters’ concerns about the economy and immigration.

Harris had warned that Trump wanted unchecked presidential power and posed a danger to democracy.

Nearly three-quarters of voters say American democracy is under threat, according to Edison Research exit polls, underscoring the polarization in a nation where divisions have only grown starker during a fiercely competitive race.

Trump ran a campaign characterized by apocalyptic language. He called the United States a “garbage can” for immigrants, pledged to save the economy from “obliteration” and cast some rivals as the “enemy within.”
His diatribes were often aimed at migrants, who he said were “poisoning the blood of the country,” or Harris, whom he frequently derided as unintelligent.

Despite legal woes and controversies, Trump is only the second former president to win a second term after leaving the White House. The first was Grover Cleveland, who served two four-year terms starting in 1885 and 1893.

UNPRECEDENTED CAMPAIGN

In May, Trump was convicted by a New York jury of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star. Two months later, a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed his right ear during a campaign rally, exacerbating fears about political violence. Another assassination attempt was thwarted in September at his Florida golf course. Trump blamed both attempts on what he claimed was the heated rhetoric of Democrats including Harris.

Barely eight days after the July shooting, Biden, 81, dropped out of the race, finally bowing to weeks of pressure from his fellow Democrats after a poor performance during his debate with Trump called into question his mental acuity and the viability of his reelection bid.

Biden’s decision to step aside turned the contest into a sprint, as Harris raced to mount her own campaign in a matter of weeks, rather than the typical months. Her rise to the top of the ticket reenergized despondent Democrats, and she raised more than $1 billion in less than three months while erasing what had been a solid Trump lead in opinion polls.
Harris’ financial advantage was partly countered by the intervention of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who poured more than $100 million into a super PAC mobilizing Trump voters and used his social media site X to amplify pro-Trump messaging.

As the campaign drew to a close, Harris increasingly focused on warning Americans about the perils of reelecting Trump and offered an olive branch to disaffected Republicans.

She highlighted remarks from several former Trump officials, including his former chief of staff and retired Marine Corps General John Kelly, who described Trump as a “fascist.”

Trump’s victory will broaden the fissures in American society, given his false claims of election fraud, anti-immigrant rhetoric and demonization of his political opponents, said Alan Abramowitz, a political science professor at Emory University who studies voter behavior and party politics.

A TRUMP SECOND TERM

Trump has vowed to reshape the executive branch, including firing civil servants he views as disloyal and using federal law enforcement agencies to investigate his political enemies, violating what has been a longstanding policy of keeping such agencies independent.

During his first term, Trump’s most extreme demands were sometimes stymied by his own cabinet members, most notably when Vice President Mike Pence refused to block Congress from accepting the 2020 election results.

Once the 2024 vote is certified by Congress on Jan. 6, 2025, Trump and his vice president, U.S. Senator JD Vance, are due to take office on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. Throughout his two-year-long campaign, Trump has signaled he will prioritize personal fealty in staffing his administration. He promised roles in his administration to Musk and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., both avid supporters.

Attorney General Anil Nandlall has expressed grave concerns over what he describes as an “alarming rate” of reversals by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) of decisions flowing from local courts in Guyana.

His comments follow a landmark ruling last week in which the CCJ overturned previous decisions by Guyana’s High Court and Court of Appeal, affirming the lawful appointments of Vikash Ramkissoon and Sarah Browne as Parliamentary Secretaries.

During his Tuesday night ‘Issues in the News Commentary’, Nandlall highlighted the frequency with which decisions by the Court of Appeal are being overruled by the CCJ, suggesting this trend could have wider implications for the judicial system in the country.

“What is worrying is the alarming rate of reversal that is taking place at the level of the Court of Appeal and the Caribbean Court of Justice,” Nandlall said.

“I have spoken about this several times, and it must be a cause for concern in certain types of cases. As I pointed out repeatedly, there is a 100% reversal rate in a particular category of cases. The Court of Appeal rules one way, and the CCJ overrules it.”

While he acknowledged that not all cases exhibit this reversal pattern, Nandlall stressed that the frequency of such occurrences raised serious questions about the consistency and reliability of judicial outcomes.

He noted that in some cases, the rate of reversal is “not much different,” which he said was a troubling trend that needed urgent attention.

As the minister with responsibility for justice, Nandlall stated that it was his duty to voice these concerns in the interest of ensuring a fair and efficient legal system.

He also touched on the issue of the current backlog of cases at the level of the Court of Appeal, which he described as an “unfortunate bottleneck.”

“While we have, I believe, successfully addressed the backlog in the High Court, where cases are now being disposed of swiftly and efficiently, there has now developed a significant backlog at the level of the Court of Appeal,” he explained.

“Cases are being dealt with in the High Court, but there is now a large accumulation of cases at the Court of Appeal.”

The Attorney General offered possible explanations for the delays, attributing part of the backlog to the vacancies within the Court of Appeal. However, he was quick to emphasise that while this may provide some context, it should not serve as a justification for the delays.

Nandlall also pointed to ongoing efforts by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to fill these vacancies, which he hoped would help alleviate the pressure on the appellate court.

He expressed confidence in the judiciary’s ability to manage the challenges, especially given the progress made in addressing the High Court’s backlog, and commended the work of Chief Justice Roxane George and the High Court judges for their efforts in clearing cases.

As Guyana embraces tourism as an essential driver of economic growth, the country is taking significant steps to ensure its youth are well-prepared to play an active role in the rapidly expanding sector.

During the launch of Tourism Awareness Month 2024, held last weekend at the stunning Lake Mainstay on the Essequibo Coast, tourism industry leaders emphasized the importance of engaging school-aged children and young adults in the world of tourism while showcasing a variety of career opportunities and hands-on learning experiences.

Kamrul Baksh, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), announced that one of the key focuses of this year’s awareness efforts would be to make tourism more relatable to the younger generation.

“We’re going to be engaging the schools very actively this year. It’s important that we have young ambassadors in tourism.

“We want our youth to understand that tourism isn’t just about clerical positions; it’s about a wide spectrum of careers—from culinary arts to event management, tour guiding, hospitality, and much more,” Baksh said.

As part of this initiative, the GTA has introduced the Junior Tourism Cook and Showcase, a program designed to inspire school children to learn about local culture, cuisine, and the practical aspects of tourism.

By participating in these activities, students are encouraged to develop a deeper appreciation for their country’s tourism potential and the role they can play in its growth.

“Our goal is to demonstrate the vast career opportunities available, ensuring they see tourism as a viable and exciting career path,” Baksh added.

Meanwhile, Omadele (Dee) George, General Manager of Herdmanston Lodge and President of the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG), also highlighted the importance of connecting the youth with professionals already working in the sector.

“THAG launched the SWIFT initiative, which asks tourism businesses to ‘hold the hand’ of a high school student and bring them into their operations.

This allows students to see first-hand the day-to-day realities of working in tourism,” said George.

“We want tourism to continue to resonate with young people—it’s part of their education, and it’s part of the subjects they’ll encounter in exams like CXC and CAPE. By involving them in real-world tourism operations, we help them build the confidence to write about tourism and even choose it as a subject of interest,” she added.

George emphasized that any tourism business, regardless of size, can make a difference by sharing its knowledge and passion for the industry.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a small lodge or a large hotel; the essence of tourism is the same. When students see how dedicated professionals speak about and perform their work every day, it ignites a passion in them that cannot be replicated in the classroom. It makes a huge difference when they write about tourism in their exams,” George added.

The focus on engaging young people is not just a short-term initiative but part of a long-term strategy to build a sustainable and skilled workforce for Guyana’s tourism and hospitality sectors.

Earlier this year, the GTA and THAG’s Student Work and Internship for Tourism (SWIFT) program saw seventeen students receive certificates for completing internships at several high-profile tourism businesses, including the Ramada Georgetown Princess Hotel, Wanderlust Adventure Tours, Dagron Tours, Caribbean Inn Inc., Grand Coastal Hotel, and Maggie’s Catering Inc.

The SWIFT program aims to provide practical, on-the-job training for students to develop their skills and gain hands-on experience in the tourism industry. By doing so, it prepares the next generation for careers in a sector that has seen exponential growth in recent years.

“This is a testament to the efforts being made to build a skilled workforce,” said Baksh.

“We’re laying the foundation for a future where Guyana’s tourism industry is not only a key economic pillar but also a source of diverse career opportunities for our young people.”

As the tourism sector continues to evolve and expand, the collaboration between schools, tourism businesses, and industry associations like THAG is crucial to ensuring that young people are well-equipped to contribute to the industry’s future success.

Two cousins who grew up in the close-knit Golden Grove Housing Scheme on the East Coast of Demerara are making waves in the academic world. Both are set to graduate this week from the University of Guyana with high honours.

Saffiya Greene and Nikita Elias have not only excelled in their studies but have done so in the most remarkable of circumstances, achieving distinctions in their respective fields.

Saffiya will graduate with a Bachelor’s in Supply Chain Management, while her older cousin Nikita will receive a Bachelor’s of Education, specializing in English.

Their success is a source of immense pride not only for their immediate family but also for their entire community. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the challenging times they both navigated while pursuing their studies.

The cousins’ academic journey began in 2020 during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when the university transitioned to fully online learning.

Saffiya, who was entering university for the first time, faced the unique challenge of pursuing her degree without the traditional on-campus experience.

“We didn’t have face-to-face classes; everything was online, and that was definitely a challenge,” Saffiya shared.

“It wasn’t just the academics—it was missing out on that entire campus experience: meeting new people, making friends, and interacting with professors in person.”

Despite these hurdles, Saffiya persevered, supported by her family and particularly by Nikita, who had already earned a degree before embarking on her second academic pursuit.

“Nikita was like a mentor to me during my first two years,” Saffiya said. “She had already taken many of the same courses I was doing, so I was able to lean on her for guidance and advice. It made all the difference.”

For Nikita, the journey to graduation is her second. After completing her first degree in the field of Education, she returned to university to further specialize.

“I’ve always believed in the power of education and I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to pursue it again,” Nikita said.

“This time, I’ve had the chance to shape my expertise and focus on what I truly love: teaching English.”

Though their majors were different, the cousins’ shared experiences brought them closer together, and they remain each other’s biggest supporters. Both will walk the stage in separate ceremonies this week: Saffiya on Friday, November 8, and Nikita on Saturday, November 9.

Despite graduating a day apart, their accomplishments are intrinsically linked, shaped by the shared journey that began during the pandemic and the unshakeable bond of family.

Saffiya, who has always aspired to further her education, is already looking ahead to the next step in her career.

“I always wanted to attend university, and now that I’ve graduated with distinction, I’m aiming for my Master’s in Supply Chain Management,” she shared.

“I want to specialize and eventually become an expert in the field. This is just the beginning for me.”

The pride in their voices is evident, but what shines even more brightly is the gratitude they express for their families.

“Family is everything to me,” said Saffiya. “I couldn’t have done this without them. They were there for me every step of the way, offering unwavering support. This is a victory for all of us.”

Nikita echoed similar sentiments, reflecting on the significance of their shared achievement.

“We’ve been through a lot together, and to be able to walk across that stage with Saffiya is an incredible feeling,” she said. “It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve accomplished.”

For the Greene and Elias families, this is more than just a graduation—it’s a celebration of hard work, perseverance, and the power of family.

As Saffiya and Nikita prepare to take the next steps in their careers, they also set a powerful example for others in their community, showing that with determination, support, and a clear vision, dreams can indeed become reality.

As they take the stage this week, the Golden Grove cousins are not just graduating—they are setting the stage for even greater achievements in the future.

In response to mounting concerns about the MV MA Lisha, which serves the Georgetown to North West District route, the government has pledged swift action to address passenger complaints and improve service quality.

Minister of Public Works Bishop Juan Edghill visited the Kingston Goods Wharf on Tuesday to speak directly with passengers about their concerns. He was accompanied by senior management from the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD).

Among the issues raised were reports of theft and pilferage on the vessel, unsanitary conditions leading to an unpleasant stench, and malfunctioning air conditioning.

Passengers also expressed frustration with prolonged delays in retrieving goods after docking.

Minister Edghill promised immediate action, including holding negligent crew members accountable and imposing financial penalties on those responsible for stolen items.

He emphasised that while the government has invested substantially in modernising the fleet, some T&HD staff need to improve their management approach to align with these advancements and ensure operational standards are met.

“We must not only buy things and build things we must care things and manage things for the benefit of the people because whenever the government does something any intervention of the government, the beneficiary must be the people of Guyana,” the minister stated.

The minister assured passengers that the government is committed to addressing these issues promptly and ensuring the new services meet public expectations. Further discussions with the vessel’s crew are expected soon to address operational shortcomings.

In a fiery rebuttal during his Tuesday night talk show, Attorney General Anil Nandlall dismissed calls from the political opposition to enshrine the government’s cash grant distribution into legislation, calling the suggestion “nonsensical” and driven by political point-scoring rather than substance.

The call comes following the government’s decision to provide cash grants to every Guyanese citizen aged 18 and over, a move that has attracted widespread support since its announcement.

Nandlall, in his remarks, argued that making the distribution of cash grants a legal obligation would limit the government’s flexibility in responding to changing economic conditions.

“They want to make it into legislation, but I don’t understand what exactly you would legislate. You’re talking about distributing a cash grant. What part of that needs to be codified into law?” Nandlall questioned the logic behind such a proposal.

The Attorney General pointed out that the government has been offering various forms of direct financial assistance for years without needing to legislate these actions.

He highlighted examples such as school uniform subsidies, pensioner benefits, and assistance with electricity and water bills, none of which were enshrined in law.

“We’ve been distributing uniform vouchers, subsidies to pensioners, and even cash grants for schoolchildren for over 15 years, and none of those were ever put into legislation,” he explained.

Nandlall accused the opposition of trying to “take ownership” of a policy that they previously rejected.

“The very same people who now want to claim credit for direct cash transfers were the ones who, when in office, abolished similar grants and programmes,” he said.

Further elaborating on the opposition’s alleged hypocrisy, Nandlall pointed to their pre-election promises regarding university tuition fees, which they pledged to reduce but instead increased by nearly 80 per cent once in power.

“We’re now making education free for thousands of students and offering scholarships across the globe. That’s another form of direct cash transfer,” he argued.

The Attorney General also rejected the opposition’s call for legislation on the grounds that it would introduce unnecessary rigidity into government policy.

He warned that putting such a measure into law could lead to complications if circumstances changed, such as a downturn in oil revenues or other economic shocks.

“What happens if next year we don’t have the money to pay?” he questioned.

“You’d be stuck with a law that could be violated, and every year we’d have to amend the law to suit the situation. It just doesn’t make sense.”

The cash grant distribution is part of a broader government initiative aimed at using the country’s burgeoning oil wealth to address social issues and infrastructure needs.

The Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC)  is making history by introducing the female circuit racing class at the ENET Caribbean Clash of Champions.

This exciting development will see Guyana’s very own “Speed Queen” Sharima Khan, joined by Trinidadian top Female driver Bridget Singh, U.S. racer Krystin Jaenicke, and Guyanese newcomer Emily Ali, take the track to inspire the next generation of women in motorsport.

Sharima Khan has long held the title of Guyana’s lone female racer, blazing a trail for women in the sport.

Her Caribbean counterpart, Bridget Singh, has led the charge in Trinidad, establishing herself as the country’s top female driver.

Krystin Jaenicke brings her experience from the Mazda Miata Cup in the U.S., and Emily Ali, though a newcomer to circuit racing, is filled with confidence and fighting spirit, drawing from her family racing background.

GMRSC Executive Luis Kumar shared his enthusiasm for the new class: “In drag racing, we started with four female drivers, and now we have over ten competing. We expect the same growth in circuit racing, though we know it’s more demanding. These women are taking a big step forward for females in the sport, and GMRSC is committed to supporting the FIA’s mandate to promote women in motorsport.”

This all-female class is set to break boundaries and fuel the passion for racing among women across the Caribbean. (GMR&SC)

(Fox News) The Fox News Decision Desk projects former President Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in a stunning victory, delivering him a second term in the White House after a historic election cycle filled with unprecedented twists and turns and two attempts on his life.

Trump defeated Vice President Harris, who entered this race just over 100 days ago after President Biden, who won the Democratic primaries, was convinced to stand down.

Trump was projected to have breached the 270 electoral vote threshold after stunning wins in the battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Trump’s comeback win was called by Fox News after it projected that he had won Wisconsin, a state he narrowly lost in 2020.

“I want to thank you all very much. This is great. These are our friends. We have thousands of friends in this incredible movement. This is a movement like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said during early morning remarks at a victory celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida. “I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.”

Trump said that this was going to be the “golden age of America,” thanking supporters for reelecting him.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected the 47th president,” he said. “And every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and your future. Every single day. I will be fighting for you. And with every breath in my body, I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve.”

Trump will be the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms other than Grover Cleveland who was elected in 1884 and again in 1892.

Trump was first elected president in 2016, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and vowing to “Make America Great Again.” He lost re-election to President Biden in 2020 during the global coronavirus pandemic but re-claimed the White House in 2024 after a nearly two-year campaign, vowing to “Make America Great Once Again.”
