The proposed toroidal electromagnetic wave satisfies Maxwell's equations and reproduces fundamental properties of the electron as described in quantum electrodynamics (QED). Within this framework, the electron is modeled as a rotating electromagnetic wave confined to a toroidal geometry. Parameter optimization yields quantitative agreement with the electron charge e, spin $\hbar/2$, and magnetic moment $\mu_B(1 + \alpha/2\pi)$, incorporating the Schwinger anomalous magnetic moment correction. The model yields an amplitude on the order of the Schwinger scale where electron-positron pair production occurs. The major radius corresponds to the Compton wavelength scale, while the monochromatic frequency is consistent with the de Broglie-Dirac frequency. The phase velocity is found to be $2c$, and the computed rest energy approximates $0.8 m_e c^2$. This representation provides a microscopic classical electromagnetic framework that encapsulates the properties of the QED electron.
