Why is devient used instead of future tense

I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "The election of the French president"

Salut Betty

The text reads that the result of the election is that the winner becomes President not will become -- this action is current (immediate), not future.

I hope this helps.

Bonne journée
