‘Greatest triumph in modern political history’: Rita Panahi on Donald Trump’s 2024 victory

Sky News host Rita Panahi has discussed Donald Trump’s “astonishing” comeback as he is projected to become the 47th president of the United States.

“This is a most astonishing victory there, the greatest triumph in modern political history, and I'll tell you why. Donald Trump risked everything to run again," Ms Panahi said.

“They came for his family, they came for his allies, they used lawfare to try and bankrupt him, to try to imprison him on sham charges, they outspent him by a huge margin, and he had the overwhelming majority of the media against him, relentlessly running negative stories.

“He withstood it all to win and win big.”
