US Election 2024: Memes flood social media to shape the American Presidential Race

As Election Day 2024 polls draw to an end in America, former President and Republican Donald Trump claims victory over Vice President and Democrat Kamala Harris.

This makes him the second president to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland, a feat that was last accomplished 132 years ago.
