Donald Trump has declared victory in the US presidential election, addressing an enthusiastic crowd of supporters in Florida. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” Trump told his cheering supporters, who gathered to celebrate what they see as a remarkable comeback.

In a decisive shift, Trump secured the battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, leaving Democratic candidate Kamala Harris with a challenging, narrow path to victory. Just moments before Trump took the stage, Fox News projected him as the winner, though other major networks have yet to make the same call.

For Trump, a return to the White House would mark a dramatic resurgence following his 2020 loss to Joe Biden, showcasing his resilience and continued support within key voting blocs. Harris, meanwhile, has declined to make any statement today, as her disappointed supporters dispersed from a subdued watch party earlier.
