US Presidential Election: Donald Trump pledges to 'heal' the country.
Speaking to a crowd after the preliminary results, Donald Trump pledged to "heal" America.
In a speech to a crowd of supporters, Donald Trump said his campaign had made history and "overcome obstacles that no one thought possible."
"This is a journey no one has ever witnessed 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 and important level, as we will work together to heal our country."
Donald Trump pledged to "fight" for all citizens and their families.
"Every day I will fight for you until my last breath," Donald Trump affirmed, adding that he is ushering in "a golden age for America."
"This is a tremendous victory for the American people, allowing us to make America great again," the Republican candidate emphasized.
"We've been through so much together. Today you're here in record numbers to bring about this victory. That's special. We're going to give it our all, we're going to do the best we can. We have to turn things around. We're going to do everything we can to change it. This day will be remembered forever as the way the American people took back control of their country," Donald Trump said.
Former President Trump also praised the Republican Senate candidates for their anticipated victories, which helped the Republicans regain control of the Senate.
"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mission," Trump said. "We have regained control of the Senate."
According to Fox News, Donald Trump has surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold after unexpected victories in the battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
Trump's comeback victory was officially declared after Fox News predicted Wisconsin would favor him. Trump had narrowly lost the state in 2020.
Pennsylvania is one of the most important states that Donald Trump won, with Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign identifying it as one of the three "Rust Belt" states on the "clearest path to securing 270 electoral votes."
Candidate Donald Trump won the state of Georgia – this is seen as a "sweet victory" for him, after a bitter and narrow defeat there in 2020.
