Trump, who challenged his previous election loss, faced a turbulent path back to the White House.

His journey included a Capitol insurrection, conviction of felony charges and surviving two assassination attempts.

Trump, having won Wisconsin, surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency.

The former President also claimed victory in the key swing states of Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Trump is the second U.S. President to serve non-consecutive terms.

The first was Grover Cleveland, who held two separate periods in the White House - from 1885 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897.

Cleveland served as the 22nd President following his victory in the 1884 election and returned as the 24th President after winning the 1892 election.
