Donald Trump is to become US president for the second time after claiming victory in the November 5 election.

Trump, for now, is President-Elect until his inauguration early next year, making history as the first-ever convicted felon to hold office.

With some interesting stances on cryptocurrency, taxes, and immigration, the impeached president beat Kamala Harris to the 270 votes needed to secure the White House.

Joe Biden still has 75 days of his presidency left before Trump is officially sworn in as head of state, government and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

Here are the key dates to be aware of as the rest of the year unfolds...

November 26 - New York hush money sentencing

Trump could be sentenced for up to four years in prison after he was convicted of 34 counts of fraud in a hush money case in May.

New York jurors found him guilty of illegally influencing the 2016 election through a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who said the two had sex. Trump pleaded not guilty, arguing the allegations he faces are not criminal.

Lawyers are expected to ask for his November 26 sentencing to be delayed. Sentencing a president-elect ahead of Inauguration Day would be unprecedented in US history.

The sentencing, initially scheduled for July 11, has already been postponed twice before. A July US Supreme Court ruling found that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution over their official acts.

December 5 - Racketeering case hearing

Trump and 18 co-defendants were charged under racketeering laws in Georgia for an alleged conspiracy to reverse his narrow defeat in the 2020 election.

All defendants are charged with one count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, which carries a penalty of between five and twenty years in prison. Trump pleaded not guilty.

Nine co-defendants, including the President-Elect, are calling for lead prosecutor Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to be disqualified from the case over alleged misconduct stemming from a romantic relationship she had with a former deputy. The case is paused while the Georgia Court of Appeals decide whether to disqualify Willis.

Oral argument hearings are scheduled for December 5.

Trump's lawyer said he will seek to pause any activity related to Trump based on an argument that a president should not face the burden of a criminal prosecution while in office.

December 17 —Electoral college voting begins

Electors of each state meet to select the President and Vice President on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December.

Each state chooses its representatives to the Electoral College, a number based on the size of each state’s population and how many representatives and senators it has in Congress.

Representatives are sworn to vote for the candidate who got the most votes in that state.

December 25 - Electoral votes must arrive

The president of the senate and the archivist must receive certificates recording the electoral vote results no later than the fourth Wednesday in December — this year, Christmas Day. The results of each state’s electoral votes are then sent to the newly elected Congress, who are sworn in on January 3.

January 6 - Electoral college vote count

Congress meets to formally count and announce the electoral college votes. The past two elections, the counts were announced on January 6. In 2021, this triggered the Capitol Riots

January 20 2025 - Trump's inauguration

The 47th Presidential Inauguration will be held on the west front of the US Capitol in Washington D.C on Monday, January 20, 2025. The president-elect and his vice-president-elect, JD Vance, will be sworn in and take office.

Inauguration Day falls on a Monday, meaning it will be a federal holiday for US citizens.
