Donald Trump declared victory in the presidential election early Wednesday morning as the Republican led Kamala Harris in projected Electoral College votes in the presidential election, writes CNBC.
Neither Trump nor Harris has secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. But after NBC News projected that he would win Pennsylvania, the former president was just four electoral votes short of that goal.
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. It is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political thing. We’re going to help our country heal. We’re going to fix everything about our country. America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. “This will truly be the golden age of America. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again”, - Trump told supporters at the West Palm Beach, Florida, Convention Center.
