US Presidential Election: Donald Trump pledges to 'heal' the country

In a speech to a crowd of supporters, Donald Trump said his campaign had made history and "overcame obstacles that no one thought were possible".

“This is a journey like no one has ever seen before. And frankly, I believe this is the greatest political movement of all time. Nothing like this has ever happened in our country… And now it will reach a new level of importance, because together we will make our country “healed.”

Mr. Donald Trump pledged to "fight" for every citizen and their families.

"Every day I will fight for you until my last breath," Donald Trump affirmed, saying he was ushering in "America's golden age."

“This is a huge victory for the American people, allowing us to make America great again,” the Republican candidate emphasized.

"We've been through a lot together. Today you came out in record numbers to win. That's special. We're going to pay you back, we're going to do the best job we can. We have to turn this around. We're going to do everything we can to change this. This day will be remembered as the American people taking back control of our country," Donald Trump said.

Former President Trump also praised Republican Senate candidates for their projected victories, helping Republicans regain control of the Senate.

"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," Mr Trump said. "We have taken back control of the Senate."
