Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
(Updated 8:21 PM PT with VP statement) In record time, the current Vice President of the United States has a gathered a strong enough majority of pledged Democratic delegates to win the nomination for President on the first ballot next month.
Kamala Harris‘ home state of California and the Golden State’s more than 300 delegates at DNC ’24 in Chicago put her securely over the top earlier this evening.
The VP now has another historical first in her sights. That new political reality comes on a very busy Day 1 of the Harris for President campaign and just over 36 hours after Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 White House race. “When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination,” Vice President Harris said Monday near midnight on the East Coast. “Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top” (Read the VP’s full statement below). “It is clear that Kamala Harris is going to have this nomination,” a clearly joyous DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said a bit earlier tonight on the very well attended “Black Men for Harris” call, as millions more were being raised for the candidate.
Frustration over the 81-year-old POTUS’ halting and stumbling June 27 debate performance and his seeming inability to see a path to victory against Donald Trump was a dead-end has dissipated almost instantly.
