Donald Trump has claimed victory in the 2024 US presidential election, having achieved wins in critical battleground states. While addressing his supporters from the stage at his Mar-a-Lago residence, the Republican candidate referred to his movement as the greatest “of all time.”
“This will truly be the golden age of America,” he stated. “This is a magnificent victory for the American people, which will allow us to make America great again.”
“We’ve made history for a reason tonight,” he continued. “We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political thing. Look what happened! Is this crazy?”
Trump thanked the American public for selecting him as the 47th president, committing to fight for every citizen “every single day… with every breath in my body.” He pledged to guide the nation toward a prosperous and secure future and anticipated winning 315 electoral college votes as well as the popular vote when the final counts are complete.
Trump acknowledged senior members of his campaign present on stage with him, noting he chose the right individuals to secure victory.
Additionally, the Republican Party is poised to gain a majority in the Senate, which Trump attributed to his ‘MAGA movement.’ He mentioned that the GOP is also likely to maintain control of the House and expressed his appreciation to Speaker Mike Johnson for his “terrific job.”
The former president also commended his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, for engaging with media outlets perceived as antagonistic toward Republicans, including CNN and MSNBC, saying he went “into the enemy camp.”
As of this writing, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, has not conceded defeat. Trump delivered his victory speech while three electoral votes short of the required 270 needed to claim victory.
