Washington: US President Barack Hussain Obama has been re-elected to a
second term, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Obama is the second Democrat to win a second four-year White
House term since World War II.
Thanking his supporters, he tweeted, “We're all in this
together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. Thank you.”
He crossed the threshold of 270 electoral votes by taking
key swing states like Ohio.
